AT NEW


New Orleans, Sept. 2O.-Up to $50 a.
m. there was a quiet feeling in the Office
o. the local board OF health. No deaths
had been reported and no new cases, al
:. considerable fall was noted in the
temperature this morning, and though
the cooler weather is not entirely hope>
,ul TO the sick, it encourages the physi-
clans TO believe the fever will spread
less rapidly. All patients heard from
except one or two were doing well this
morning.
The Illinois Central discontinued TWO
trains en- its valley and two on its main
lines. Quarantine regulations have
caused their withdrawal. Very few trains
are running on any Of the roads. and
there is consequent slowness in the deliv-
cry Of mails. Many towns continue to
refuse TO receive New Orleans papers,
fearing infection.
The Charity hospital has offered to
send free physicians and medicine to the
INDECENT who are attacked with fever.
The authorities do not care to receive
yellow fever patients in the Charity hos,
pital.
DR.. Joseph Holt, ex-president OF the
board of health, has reported nine cases
OF yellow fever in his practice. He says
they were all stricken violently, but were
much relieved by prompt medical at.
|lention.
Three @ cases are announced in
New Orleans this morning, making 10

Racial Longevity.

The colored race is shorter lived than the white and has very high infantile death rate. It is especially liable to tu- berculosis and pneumonia and less liable than the white race to malaria, yellow fever and cancer.
 The Irish race has a rather low death rate among its young children, but q very high one among adults, due, to Il considerable extent, to the effects of tu- berculosis and pneumonia.
 The Germans appear to be particular ly liable to disorders of the digestive organs and to cancer.
 The Jews have low death rate and a more than average longevity. They are less affected than other races by con- sumption, pneumonia and alcoholism, but are especially liable to diabetes, To- comotor ataxia and certain other diseases of the nervous system. - New York Ledger

The Sunday Law.

Much anxiety is felt in certain quar- ters in regard to the new Sunday law. Its provisions are certainly sweeping enough to include all kinds of business and labor, except works of necessity or mercy, and the exposing of all property for sale and all sports. But a promi- nent New Haven lawyer r.who was pro, moter of the bill, say that the purpose of the law is to simply prevent the do- ing of anything which would disturb the peace and quiet of the day. Sunday steamer excursions have been held a necessity. It is Believed that selling ice cream and soda water will not be in terfered with. Only noisy and bolster ous amusements are aimed at, such as base ball and merry -go-rounds and the like.
 Probably it will be found that the old "blue laws" have not been 1e enacted.

Only an Ornamental Law

'The new Sunday law, if enforced, " says the New Britian Herald," would put stay to all the business and recrea. tion provided for by the trolley cars, or third rail either, and stop both these systems. But presumably it will not be enforced. It is one of the laws that were passed for ornamental purposes |"
 Why the law was made at all is not clear to us. Connecticut has great big blue book full of laws that are not enforced for which we are thankfuD and it seems wholly unnecessary to add more to the list. Sundays in our state have been we'll observed prior to the new law, and if the law is made for or nament only we don't see how they will be better observed now. This large amount of unenforced statutes which we have now is gradually inspiring con, tempt for Connecticut law.
