st. Augustine, Fla, Sept. 15.-The gifted
Georgian poet and musician, Sidney La
nier, was the writer whose life and works
were considered by the men and women
attending the literary conversation last
night. Rev. DR.. S. Hamilton Day of

his short life, his tragic struggle to full
fill what he believed its purpose to be

A RemarknbIe Cure.
From IIarper's Round Table.


The proceedings of the Royal Society Of
London were not taken so seri-

are now. A sailor, who had
broken his leg, was advised to send to the
Royal Society an account of the remark

having fractured his leg by falling from
the top of mast, he had dressed Ii with
nothing but tar and oakum, which had
proven so wonderfully efficacious that in
three days he was able TO walk Just as
well as before the accident. This remark
able story naturally caused some excite
ment among the members of the society.
No one had previously suspected tar and
oakum OF possessing such miraculous heal
ing powers. The society wrote for further
particulars, and doubted, indeed whether
the leg had been really fractured. The
truth Of this part of the story, however
was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
Several letters passed between the Royal
Society and the humble sailor, who con-
tinued TO assert most solemnly that his
broken leg had been treated with tar and
oakum, and with these two applications
only. The society and the humble sailor
might have correspondent for an Indefinite
period had not the honest sailor remarked

the Lnes-ssCI"sh With DIR. Hor-

sey.
Fernandina, Fla, Sept. 15.-On account
of the arrival of family of refugees in
this city from Mobile yesterdaysthe may
or, John G. McGihin, called at the office
of Dr. J. l.. Horsey, assistant state health
officer to request that the city be allowed
to put an inspector at Yulee to inspect the
incoming passengers and baggage, and to
keep out those coming from infected cities.
Dr. Horsey was not at his office but was
in Jacksonville. DR.. NJ. r. McGifin called
up the state board of health Office at Jack
sonville on telephone and found Dr. Hor-
sey there. After a long conversation DR..
Horsey would not allow the mayor to put
on inspectors. He arrived on to-nights
train from Jacksonville, and was at once
seen by your correspondent and asked if
he would allow quarantine inspectors put
on, he replied most emphatically no, as
fast as the city put on men he would have
the sheriff take them in charge.
Mayor McGiffin was seen tonight as he
boarded the outgoing train, he said that
Fernandina would certainly put on an in
spector even though DR.. Horsey said no
He referred to the family who had just ar
rived from Mobile, and said II that was
the way the state board Of health was
going to allow people to come, that he
would certainly take steps to protect Fer
nandina.
The family say they were away from
Mobile IA hours before the yellow fever
made its appearance.
Dr. Horsey said that he would probably
put on more inspectors at the state line
and be more watchful of incoming passen-
gers and baggage from all points and that
the board OF health did not want to incon-
venience the people by quarantning
against other than yellow fever districts.
