MALTA FEVER.

Malta fever takes its name from the
fact that it was first studied among
the British troops in the Island Of Mall
ia. It occurs along the shores and
among the islands of the entire Medit-
erranean sea. In this country it has
become Of interest from the fact that
among the troops returning from Cuba
last autumn several cases were found
OF a disease which closely resembled
1T. Indeed, 1t is now believed that NAL
ia fever prevails in the Mediterranean
of the western hemisphere as well as
in that Of the eastern. It occurs in
Hongkong. and doubtless also in the
Philippine Islands.
Malta fever prevails all the year
round, but by far the greatest number
Of cases occur in summer. It is not
believed to be contagious; the specific
microbe, as in the case Of typhoid few
er, is supposed to be conveyed in
water.
The early symptoms are like those
Of any other fever, namely: wakeful-
ness and headache, large and fabby
tongue covered with a thin yellowish
fur, loss of appetite, and sometimes
nausea, or even vomiting. There is a
slight cough, and every night, toward
morning, the patient suffers from a
profuse perspiration. ,r.
After about week of these symp-
toms, the fever. which has till now
been very slight, begins to rise. 1t rises
a few degrees above the normal, sell
dom to dangerous height, and then
goes on and on, sometimes for months,
until the patience of everybody is ex-
hausted.
The patient does not seem to be very
sick; indeed, he often feels fairly we'll,
but the wretched fever continues, now
up, now down. and the sufferer loses
flesh and strength, and takes on a
dirty, sallow look. Occasionally he has
rheumatic symptoms, which resemble
very closely those of real infiammatory
rheumatism. One of tie larger joints
will suddenly become painful, red and
swollen, remain so for a day or two,
and then get suddenly we'll, while an
other joint begins to suffer in the same
way. This may go on indefinitely from
joint to joint. till the patient is as
| weary Of the rheumatism as he is of
| the fever.
Malta fever may last only few
weeks, or it may continue with inter-
walls of appare.t freedom for a year.
or even two years. Very few people
die of the disease. So far as doctors
have yet discovered, there is no medi /:
cine that will cure or shorten the dis
ease; all that can be done is to nurse
the patient and keep up his strength
until the fever dies out. Quinine is USE
less. We shall probably hear more Of
this tiresome affection during the pres
ent summer.

CONCERNING WOMEN.

Probably no woman in England
Knows so much about women convicts
as Adeline. duchess of Bedford. Her
grace holds permission from the home
secretary to visit prisons in which
women are incarcerated for periods of
over two years, and she has made ex-
cellent use of the great trust imposed
in her. She and her colleague, Lady
Battersea, do their utmost to give pris-
oners on their discharge fair chance
of becoming useful and respected mem
bers of society. The duchess of Bed
ford is handsome woman in the
prime of life, and when speaking from
the platform the resemblance in voice
to her sister, Lady Henry Somerset, is
very striking.
Here are five golden rules which
should be observed ~ those who often
arrange flowers: Put your flowers in
very lightly. Use artistic glasses. Do
not use more than two, or at the most
three, different kinds of flowers in one
decoration. Arrange your colors to
form bold contrast, or. better still, a
soft harmony. The aim of the decora-
tor should be to show off the flowers
not The vases that contain them:
therefore the simpler ones are far
preferable to even the most elaborate.
Glasses for dinner table should be
either white, delicate shade of green.
brown or rose color, according to tss
flowers arranged in them.

EDITOR.
Atlanta editors nowadays. what with

like that. Outside The Intelligencer
Office that day it was a sad enough

the editor was entertaining one of the
most romantic actors Of all the war.
Next day he told about her beauty,
her part in the war, her books, and we
see her no more.

Deer Lodge, July 11.-Race Track,

and another man of the name of Nc
Donald. A mandamus was applied for
to compel Coad to give them permits
sion to carry on the indexing. Coad
appealed to the supreme court. In an
opinion by the chief justice. the lower
court is reversed, and the application
for writ dismissed.
THE boards action in letting the
contract was simply void, for want of
compliance with the law" says the
supreme court. THE execution Of such
a contract or payment for work done
under it will be enjoined at the in
stance of taxpayer, and when man.
damus is resorted to to compel recog-
milton of it by the auditing officer,
whose duty 1t is to audit the accounts
of the municipality and pay them, no
relief will be granted. The lower court
should have sustained the motion to
quash on these grounds, and dismissed
the application. In reaching the con-
illusions we have in this case, we have
not overlooked the general statute
touching the transcribing of records
Tor new counties when created by the
legislature, nor have we overlooked the
provisions of our constitution prohib-
iting special or local legislation. No
question has been raised here as to the
validity of section u, upon which this
application Is based. Neither the gen.
eral provisions touching the TRANSCRIPT
ing of records cited, nor article s, sec
ton rs, of the constitution, have been
referred to either in brief or argument
by counsel on either side. Indeed, the
relator in founding his claim upon sec
ton II, asserts it's validity, and we
have not felt warranted under these
circumstances in going into any inves-
tigation of it's constitutionality."

Two Men Start to Fight 1t Out, but Are

were captured last night by Night
Chief of Police OBrien, Officer Powers
and Deputy Sheriffs DAILY and Stevens,
Joseph Evans and Richard Career.
Once upon a time they labored at the
works and quarreled. A feud resulted
Last night they repaired to the rear of
woodpile near the old pound and
started to fight it out. Theirs was a
terrific mill. Career was badly dam
aged about the face, but managed to get
in few good ticks. When the fight
had been in pogress about 10 minutes
someone told the authorities and the
force of officers named above descended
upon the insurgents The latter saw
them coming and fled across the creek
Daily and Stevens with Powers de-
ployed into skirInish line and took up
the pursuit of Evans. O'Brien, with
the Funston incident in his mind put
his gun in his teeth and bravely breast
ed the waters of the creek, crossing it
in safety On reaching the further
bank he spat the powder taste out of
his mouth and called upon Career to
surrender Career endeavored to es-
cape in the darkness, but O'Brien exc
cuted a flank movement, intercepted
the insurgent and captured him with
out firing a shot.
In the meantime Insurgent Evans
had entrenched himself behind some
bushes in the park. his exact where
abouts unknown. Deployed over large
space, Skirmishers DAILY, Stevens and
Powers gradually closed in on the hid
den man. When his hiding place was
discovered the three rallied on the CEN
ter skirmisher and charged, making the
capture without a casualty on either
side.
