1t 10 very true that the Southern troops will
be better sble to sta nd the climate of Cuba than
the Northern soldiers. but when authorities on
the subject Of yellow fever hear the ideas Of the
Administration on the subject of so-called lin
munes' they enjoy a quiet laugh at tho ig-
norance displayed.
"Immunos'' exist, but because q person has
had yellow foyer once 1t docs not follow that he
will never have it again. He may have it twice
during one epidemic. and should he be exposed
to it TIE next year he may have 1T twice more.
Tho people of the Gulf States are accustomed

roll their names as "immunes" know we'll the
risk they run. Surely these 'immunes' will
make noble soldiers. for they realize fully the
danger Of invading Cuba, while the Northern
and Western men can only imagine the horrors

The Southern troops generally are anxious to
go to the front, anxious TO heal the old scar by
lighting for "Old Glory" and willing to run the
risk of fever to show their great loyalty to
Many Southern physicians of note have been
consulted on the immune question, and each
and all agree that raising regiments OF So
called ''immunes" ID absurd. Among these
authorities Is DIR. J. G. Le Hardy. Health ON
Ger at Savannah, Ga. who has written several
volumes on the subject OF yellow fever and who
has praCticed in seven cpidemics.
When appealed to by a correspondent of the
Post, he said: THE general belief Is that you
cannot have yellow fever twice. This is an
error. que to The want OF actual knowledge.
"Some persons never have it, but ! have treat
ed Others four times during one epidemic. three

three times. and many twice. Again, | have

last time we had the fever in Savannah, l had
patients who had bcen the victims or three pre-
vious epidemics."
DIR. lie Hardy also stated positively that the
yellow fever bolt does not include the Gulf
States, but extends from South Florida to
South America, and that as long as tho SANTA
ton OF any Southern city is good there will not
be a state Of epidemic.
When asked why natives orthe West Indies

at is a curious fact" said n veteran, that
some men never learn to keep step perfectly.
There are some men. old soldiers perhaps, who
can't help falling into step when they hear
martial music-the left foot down at the heavy
tap OF the drum. Tho very great majority of
men can learn to keep step, but there are men
who can't keep step, or. as likely as not. march
with the right foot down at the heavy tap.
Somehow their left foot never gets fully hooked
on to that heavy tap as 1t should. Every old
soldier will recollect such men-anY body can
see such men at q military parade. and this not
as a result of confusion duo to Two bands Of

HAVE AN AGE LIMIT.
Union Pacific Management Places the
Limit at 60 Years.

Omaha, March 1O-An age limit of
60 years has been fixed by the new IN
ion Pacific management. 1t is known
that the rule is now in operation as far
a. the shops of the company are con-
cerned, but as to whether it will be en-
forced in other departments is at pres
ent bOthering some 10000 men through
out the lines of the company in the
west.
This limit now applies on employment
in the mechanical department. Not on
~ are all persons over that age in the
shops being discharged, but none will
be employed in the future who are near
that period of life This is quite sure,
though no official announcement of the
fact has been made by the company.
OF the 81 mechanics discharged last
week among the lines of the company
most Of them had passed or were near
so years old. In cases of doubt, the
foreman had asked point blank if the
person was so years old, and in every
case where affirmative answers were
given the men were discharged. The
matter is exciting the hveliest comment
among employees who have thus far es-
capped the blow.
