The average duration of yellow fever
is week, but in graver cases the attack
may be precipitate and prove speedily
fatal. There is usually an initial chill,
headache, pains in the back and limbs
and slight increase of temperature. In
exceptional cases the thermometer in
the mouth will register from 100 to 105
degrees, as in other fevers, but more
often the body heat is but little ele-
waited and in some cases is lowered
After a few days-two or three-thc
temperature subsidies and the symp-
toms abate. The patient may consider
himself well, and, indeed, in abortive
cases, the disease terminates at that
point. In most instances. however, q
recrudescence follows and may be ac-
companied by delirium and black
vomit.

BRYAN WILL HELP BRYAN.
There Is Only One Man for Him for
the Nomination on t!ie Demo-
cratic Ticket.

The announcement that Bryan will be
a delegate to the next democratic ma
tional convention will surprise no one
who has followed the theatrical career
of the toy soldier of the Platte since he
played the title role in the Coliseum
one-act farce of 1896.
Mr.. Bryan stands alone in the history
of our politics as seeker for the presi-
dency with no other visible interest or
occupation aside from devoting himself
assiduously to the promotion of his can
didacy. Although time and the work
ings of natures laws have completely
obliterated the economic absurdities
that led to his nomination in 1896 he has
clung tenaciously to his purpose 10 Sc
cure the nomination in 1900. Nature
has demolished Organism, but Bryan is
still with us. From his spectacular ap-
pearance in Georgia camp as colonel
of a Nebraska regiment of volunteers,
possessing no military training or
knowledge, innocent of gunpowdcr as
a newborn babe, to his speeches at fire.

Bryan's career exhibits all the farcical
characteristics of opera bouffe.
Of course Mr.. Bryan will be here in
19O0-we say here advisedIy, for it is
hardly conceivable that the national
committee will seriously consider any
other city for holding a national con-
vcntion. Mr.. Bryan will be on the floor,
incidentally TO protect 'the cause" from
rough treatment at the hands of Tam
many, but principally to guard the in
terests of the only -year-seasoned,
| full-grown candidate in the convention.
| He will be loaded with points of order
and crowns of thorns and motions to
adjourn.
OF course the dignified thing for Mr..
Bryan to do would be to remain in the

to "A telegraph instrument, quietly and
modestly awaiting the CALI of lead

"oLD HUTCH" AND THE EGGS.

He Kept Close watch OF the Fluctu-
atlOns In Price.
Here's story about the late Benjamin
T. Hutchinson. He opened big meat
market in Chicago once, mainly in ex-
ploitation of his many views as to how
meat ought to be kept and what sort of
meat ought to be sold. He was as proud
of it as 1t was possible for man
to be proud of anything and often waited
upon customers himself. -Four women
came in one day and bought ten pounds
of steak which he sold to them Mt II
cents pound. As they went out one Of
his assistants said, give. minutes ago,
Mr.. Hutchinson, you told me to mark
that steak up to Is cents" He stared at
his subordinate moment. Then the fact
that he had lost 80 cents dawned upon
him. He damned his hat upon his head
in a passion, rushed out and did not come
near the shop for three days.
Some years ago he rented rooms in the
Rialto building and formed an organiza-
ton which he called the Century club.
1t was n place wherein his friends could
meet him without restraint and wherein
he could practice cooking to his hearts
content. He hired French chef, who
in little while became pulled with the
idea that he was indispensable. "Old
Hutch" promptly discharged him and
presided at the Kitchen range himself
until he could get another man. One of
the brokers entered during this interval
and found him with white apron hang
ing to his heels, white paper cap on his
head and his sleeves rolled up. The bro
kcr sat at a table and called harshly for
the bill of fare. The great Spectator re-
sponded promptly and politely:
what will you have, sir he asked.
"Ham and eggs was the response,
"and get move on you
The dish was prepared deftly and serv-
ed in Il little time. When it had been
eaten the customer yelled:
"Herc cookie, more eggs"
Mr.. Hutchinson appeared in the door
way with frying pan in his hand. He
glared at the broker tcrcely. Then he
hung the pan on n nail and wiped his
hands on his apron.
George" he said, "you get no more
eggs, blank your eyes! There's strike
on the Panhandle. Chicago Chronicle.

In letter to HIS brother Floyd,
of No. 1913 Bennett street, John
Mcdonald, who Is in Company M,
Twelfth L. s. Infantry, fighting
near Manila, says:
al was in the hardest fight ever
seen on this island since Uncle Sam
took possession OF it. We had five
men in our company wounded. One
OF them has died since. We left

was Las Pinos and the other Para
naque We STAYED in the latter
until Tuesday, and while we were
eating dinner we were called out to
Il place about one mile from Las
Pinos, where the niggers had very
fine trenches. They had one large
field gun in which they shot scrap
iron. 1t was fired at us several
times, but the aim was poor and
they did not hit any OF our men.

two companies OF the Twelfth, two
Of the Fourteenth, two batteries of

Ninth and Twenty-tirst regiments.
The Twelfth engaged them IN front

while the others went around and
tlanked them. We finally drove
them from their trenches. capturing
50 prisoners and killing 400. About
100 were wounded. Our loss was

elled over 30 miles in one day chas-
ing them, and on account of the hot
sun, 50 men III our regiment had to
drop out. 1t was my first time I'M
