AN OLD DISEASE WITH A NEW
NAME.

(Zion's Herald.)
The grippe has been known and de-
soribed since the days of Hippocrates, who
WAS born b. G. 400 1t was the French
physicians who gave 1t the name which 1t
now bears. but in the attempt to locate
its origin it has been known as the Chin
ESQ catarrh, the Russian pest the German
disease, the Italian fever, and the Spanish
catarrh 1t has always taken the form of
an epidemic catarrh, and has been at
tended with great loss of life in many OF
its yisitations 1t is agreed that 1t is &C.
casioned by some particular condition or
contamination of the atmosphere, but
there is no agreement among medical
men as to what the condition is or in
what the contamination consists. The
fact that 1t is very largely due to atmos-
pheric conditions seems to be established
from its appearance in London, in lsi7.
where in a sinQlesday 500, 000 persons were
attacked. 1t appeared In New York in
Decembe 1889, and its Introduction was
said to be due to germs conveyed in let
ter from Russia. Its course ran on for
six weeks, and resulted in hundreds of
deaths. March, 1891, Is liked as the date
of its next appearance, and this time it
lasted eight weeks. While 1t lacked some
thing of the impetuousness which dis
tingulshed its first visitation, it proved TO
be the most fatal of al the epidemics we
have ever had. since that time the sever
ity of the disease has been gradually de-
clining, but the disease itself has never
been entirely eliminated. Until the out
break in Lecem her the year 1898 mad the
record Of the smallest rumber of deaths
of any previous year since the epdidemic
first appeared. A distinguished professor
of Vienna, who made special study of
the disease, declares that 1t Is missmatic.
infectious and contagious. There is no
specific remedy so far as known. bat the
best cure, according to physician OF
note, is O week spent in bed.

CINCINNATI SAIL FROM HAVANA.

Washington, January 5.--The Cincin
natl has sailed from Havana for Key
West, where she will take on some coal
and proceed to New York. Like her sis
ter ship, the Raleigh, which is also bound
for New York from the Asintic station,
the Cincinnati is to be thoroughly over
hauled at the New York navy yard. The
ships have proved to be OF undesirable
type for naval purposes, consuming too
much coal for the speed developed and
being generally uneconsmioal and I'M

The gunboat Wilmington has arrived
at st Helena on he's way to the Orinoco
