New ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-The night
passed without more deaths. The usual
number of suspicious cases are under
investigation. DR.. Guiteras is still here.
He says he is inclined to believe that
the yellow fever was imported into New
Orleans from the coast towns before it
was discovered in Ocean Springs. This
he thinks accounts for the numerous
cases here. He also says that the popu.
lar fallacy that negroes are immune has
been thoroughly exploded. He thinks
the negroes help largely to spread the
disease. He says the death rate about
equals that of the Jacksonville epidemic
and exceeds that Of the Brunswick cpl.
demic, the latter having been s per cent.
-Four cases of yellow fever from the
Home for the Homeless, were taken to
the ~Bureaugard yellow fever hospital.
The home has been closed and will be
thoroughly sanitated. There was nc
violence attempted by the people who
have been making threats against the
Bureaugard. The school board decided
on an indefinite postponement of the
opening of the schools. Ten days
notice will be given and those teachers
who are out of the city are not asked to
return until the fever has been stamped
out. Every private school in the city
and most Of them in the state have
postponed their opening.

As . Tribune representative was strolllrg
about town the other day, looking up items
of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed.
SO fer as lay in their power. The cura.
tive powers of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked OF, when Mr.. Falkner. a clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
q firm believer in their efficacy Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
q visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado. Squire Moore and his
amiab.e wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their sixtieth mile
post. and his wife, Ann, IS o fitting compan-
Ion, one of those pleasant faced. agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company This happy couple
were born in the same neighLorhood. OF the
West Riding. OF York, England, in 1920: the
husband q few weeks his witc's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway Of life together. In l8lS they emu.
grated to this country and settled in Derby.
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr.. Moore. who was
highly respected by his ~ncighbors, was elect.
ed a member Of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been q constant reader of the New
York Tribune, and was an ardent admirer
Of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here lie has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice Of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied uninterruptcdly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The ~newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced failing
several years ago but like o great many wom-
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning Of the
name sickness in relation 10 herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment of
any kind, barring that which she drew upon
from the family pharmacopnia or dispensary.
Using Mrs. Moore's language: "For four
years was miserable, hardly a week passed
during that time but what suffered from
extreme lassitude. The least ~cxertion fl.

Delegates from IL states were en-
