Racing at Terre Haute

Terre Haute, Ind, September W.-The second days card of the Terre Haute Trot- ting association included the 220 trot, the 219 pace, the 2:13 trot and gentleman's 8 race for trotters. Numerous brilliant fin- ishes were made, and especially was this true of the 2:O9 pace in the second heat, of which Sherman Clay was run off his feet several times by Nicoll. In the finish of the third heat of this race five horses went under the wire so buched that blanket would have covered them, Sher- man Clay winning by nose.
 In the third heat of the 2:1S trot Pitaus won by nose from Belmont, who ran neck and neck with Red Star. with Hum- boldt not half length behind the leaders and the field at her heels. The weather was magn.ncent, the attendance fair and the attendance is becoming better each day.
 Star Pointer arrived and will endeavor to break his record of 1:59A on Thursday. He is in excellent condition.

WHEELER AGAIN COMMANDS.
Gen. Shafter Leaves Camp Wikoff to Att
 tend Reunion of His Regiment.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. l., Sep tember 20.-Genral Shafter left the camp this morning for Michigan where he is to attend the reunion of the regiment in which he served during the civil war. Dur ing his absence General Wheeler will com mand the camp. General Wheeler is busy making the needful preparations for nov ing his division of cavalry to Huntsville if the final determination of the department to send the regiments to that point is reached.
 The Ninth cavalry which was under or ders to go to Huntsville, it is now stated, will go to Fort Grant, Arizona, to relieve the Eelevnth, one of the regiments which did not leave it's home post during the war. Batteries A and r, of the Second artillery, left camp today by the Long Island rail- road for Annston, Ala.

~THE PLAYN

''The best minstrel show ever given in Birmingham was the unanimous verdict of the audience which witnessed Al Field s minstrels last night. Not only was it a "standing room only'' audience, but it was also one of the most refined that has ever been seen in the opera house. And there was not a thing in the entire performance that could offend the most sensitive ear.
 The best part of the show was the en- tirely new speeialties introduced. The lit tie minstrel sketch, "In Cuba with Al Field in the leading roll, was something real new and up-to-date. It dealt of the adventures of the negro cook in com pany of the rough riders while before Sam tiago.
 An electrical pantomime entitled, "Gone to the Moon," was another of the novelties introduced.
 The introductory scene of the show, while in the conventional minstrel style. was brimming over with good songs, dances and jokes. Dan Quinlans work as interlocutor was brighter than ever, and that is saying a great deal. Al Fields jokes were absolutely of the latest fnanu- facture. for almost every one of them were on the Spanish war; they had to be new. Doc Quigley's eccentric dancing was high ly applauded. Everhardt, the juggler, Gruett, Beers & Gruett, in their acrobatic speciality entitled Strange Sweetheart" Arthur Rigby in his confidential talk with the audience, Lelliott, Busch and Lelliott, in their musical family act and Faust acrobatic family were all far above the average minstrel attractions, and all of them were roundly applauded. The music of the whole performance, both vocal and instrumental, was better than ever
 There will be two performances today; a matinee in the afternoon and another per formance at night

DIR. WARREN BRICKELL.
How He Treated the Yellow Fever
 In 1878.

In 1878 Dr. Warren Brickell was very suc- cessful in his treatment of yellow fever Here is a copy of his suggestions as to the treatment of the disease, which are as in- teresting as they are valuable: -
 "If you feel indsposed, lie down and rest To take yellow fever on fatigue is bad. To endeavor to shake it off when threatened is worse. gs
 "If fever comes on, cover moderately and put feet in hot bath for half an hour. The object is to promote precipitation. It is disease that is relieved by perspiratieni but don't roll up in blankets and sweat ex- cessively. This is an extreme. At any time the skin is disposed to dry repeat the foot bath. Now, yellow fever Is a fever of what we call a single paroxysm, lasting sixty to eighty hours without any intermission, and not even with distinct remission. When 1t begins to decline. it goes off not to return, save in the exceptional cases of secondary fever, which appears after a day or two, or three, and which Is extremely danger ous. .fo
 eff then, you are taken with fever, and at the end of six, ten fifteen hours i'm termssion or distinct remission appears, 1t is not yellow fever, and quinine should be taken freely in these stages. If the fever is continuous (yellow fever) don't take it. A good dose of oil should be taken when the fever first appears; it is disagreeable but very efficient. If the tongue is heavily coated take eight or ten grains of calomel in the beginning. Patient should use bed- pan from beginning. Any exertion is ut terly wrong and stops precipitation. It is an exhaustive disease and the strength must be saved. From the beginning and all the time, if fever runs high and skin is dry. sponge all over every twenty minutes with tepid water; cold to head if hot and aching. No food of any kind until fever Is off Then feed very carefully with broths and gradually change the diet. If exhaust ed as fever is gone give good champagne and ice. In the fever the drink should be moderately of cool water; crushed ice as the patient desires. Good ventilation. ab- solute quiet and not too much light. Sleep is essential, and if patient is restless chloral and the bromides are good. Opiates must be given very carefully.
 After thirty, forty or fifty hours of fever the kidneys are apt to be at fault. If urine is getting scanty give cool tea of asparagus root or juice of watermelon. Sometimes the urine is retained-not suppressed. It must be withdrawn with the catheter. It is very injurious.
 After first purgation, bowels should be relaxed only with injections.
 1.-The disease is one not to be cured, but to be guided Complications must be fought as they appear.
 "When the fever goes the patient must be more than ever quiet. The pulse is apt to drop very low, even to 45 or 50 in the minute with cool skin. The patient feels we'll but to sit or stand is death. He should lie flat until all is again natural"
