There are a number of other articles in
the publication, all of them valuable and
many of them interesting. OF the posi-
biHty of suppressing the fever, Surgeon
Carter writes:
If there be few foci in town, and they
be known, there is good chance of sup
pressing the fever. If, in addition, all
who have been exposed to infection are
known and can be properly provided for,
this chance is much increased and we can
usually attain success.
Thus. at Cayuga, Miss, in 1897. Dunn
found two fOci of infection. Those who
had been exposed to infection were in 10
other households. These were kept I'M
der observation. In five no fever develop
ed in ten days, and they were released. In
the remaining eight fever developed and
went more or less through the households.
Proper and efficient sanitary measures of
isloation and disinfectiOn were taken, and
there was no further spread. Similarly,
at Franklin, La. although the problem
was more difficult. as it was not possible
to determine all who had been exposed to
infection, yet by similar measures and
tanned as also at other places.
IF the fever be confined to one section
of the town, even if pretty general there
in, 1t may be possible to so isolate that
part as to preserve the remainder. This
was successfully done in 1897 at Clinton,
Miss, by Waldauer and Mayor Coleman.
A Gordon was placed about the infected
portion of the town and the disease was
confined to eighteen hOuses-abOut seven
ty-three caSeS-the remainder of the town,
about 200 or 800 houses, esca ping. This
above, must be characterized as bril-
liant

Delivery Book Stops a Bullet Aimed
at a Chicago Mans Heart.

Chicago, July 3O.-A canvas delivery
book and pencil saved the life of J. L.
Grant, a teamster living at 697 West
Lake street, yesterday. Grant reported
to the police that he had been the vic
tim of a murderOus attack early in the
morning in his barn at the rear of his
home and exhibited his canvas delivery
book, pierced with a bullet, a split pen
Gil and the bullet itself to substantiate
his story. Grant also showed his barn
coat and his vest, both of which were
burned with powder.
Grant said he rose at 8 o'clock in the
morning and, after hitching his horses
in the alley, mixed their feed. AS he
was bending over the feed bags in the
alley he noticed that the light in the
barn had been eXtnguished. He looked
up and in the gloom saw a man stand
ing in the barn.
Grant threw a couple of iron weights
at the man, who lodged, and, leaping
forward, pressed the mUzzle of a revol
yer against the Transfers breast, just
above his heart, and fired the weapon.
On account of the book and pencil
Grant received only a slight abrasion
above the heart. His assailant fed
down the alley.

HAMBURG GOES TO ENGLAND
Marcus DAILY Will Not Match Him
Against Ornament.

New York, July 30.-Hamburg, who is
considered by many horsemen as the only
really great 3-year-old of this season, is
to be sent to England by his owner, Mar
Gus DAILY, the silver king, This is contin-
gent upon his winning the Brighton cup,
which is to be run for at Brighton Beach
today, distance two and One-fOurth miles.
All talk of a match race between Ham
burg and Ornament has no foundation.
Mr. Daily is himself authority for this.
He said today:
All of the good horses are eligible for
the Brighton, cup at weight for age-po
penalties My horse will surely go. If
he is TO be beaten, that race offers the
opportunity. Why should I have him
then after the hard race which it will
prove pit him against some fresh horse?
Ornament is eligible for the Brighton cup.
He is great horse. That much I will
admit now If he shoulders his weight
in the Brighton and defeats Hamburg, I
will then admit that he is the greatest
horse America has produced. Just at
present i am much pleased with Ham
burg. and intend taking him to England
unless he disappoints me-

Washington, July 3O.-With the stars

its port placed on par with those OF

system extended to cover the city and the
territory surrounding it, and with Gen
eral Leonard Wood as governor, Santiago

ments of the government the status of
the city remains unchanged. It is a for

rine hospital service is concerned, and for
some time to come will doubtless continue
to be so regarded. However hearty the
welcome extended to Santiago as a city
