A TRIBUTE TO SANITATION.


AT meeting OF health authorities OF
Mississippi and Louisiana In the capital
OF the former State last week, there was
much to encourage the hopes of the South
in the matter Of commercial and material
development in the remarks made by DR..
board of health.
DR.. Souchon is possibly as well qualified
to speak of yellow fever, its distinguishing
features, its causes and general effects, as
any man in the South. He has seen the
scourge in its former days OF vrulence
and in its latter developments. At Jack
sonville he gave it as his matured profess
sional opinion that the once dreaded dis
ease had OF recent years actually changed
its type and was now not of form of
character to be especially feared. The
mldness and low death rate which have
characterized the disease within the past
three or four years, Dr. Souchon thinks.
are permanent changes, and he attributes
this improvement not to new methods of
treatment. but purely TO the progress OF
sanitary sclence!"
New Orleans has much TO accomplish
yet in the matter OF safe sanitation. 1t is
still to large extent an unprotected city
from sanitary point Of view but it is so
far ahead of the New Orleans OF twenty
years ago in this respect that the effect
upon the fever has been most remarkable
in decreasing its virulence and preventing
its spreading as of old.
These conclusions OF such an eminent
authority as DR.. Souchon, should be all
that was necessary 10 incite the people
of the cities OF the gulf coast 10 success
full efforts to rid themselves at once and
! forever from a dreaded foe that has re.
tarded progress, kept out immigration,
crippled commerce and worked almost In
tolersble inconvenience and suffering in
the South for u century past.
The intelligence of our gulf coast pcpu-
lation must come 10 the recognition in
the most practical way that it is not
through guarantees, but cleanliness, that
the yellow fever shall become feared
visltant no longer. And let 1t be once un-
derstood that New Orleans, Galveston.
Houston, Mobile, or the interior cities of
Louisiana Alabama, Texas and Missls-
sippi, have no more to fear from yellow
fever than from any other type of disease.
and we would see new and rapid develop
ment in these States that has never been
equaled before!
Every dollar. therefore. which is spent
in the South for sanitary purposes is not
only wise precautlon but a magnificent
investment, Money so spent Is an invita-
ton. and an effective one, to homeseekers
and capital from other sections to settle
In our midst.
With such important facts before us we
should not reach another summer without
having thrown around ourselves the am
piest and the best safeguards Rnown TO
science against the possible recurrence OF
yellow fever epldemics in the coast region
cities.

The Paris Still Ashore.

Falmouth, May 24.-The difficulty OF
saving the American Line steamer
Paris, ashore on the Cornwall coast, is
becoming more apparent. Her bottom
is pierced by rocks amidships and her
foreholds are badly damaged. If she is
to be gotten OF she must be lifted bodi-
ly from the ledge On which she rests.
Dragging her Oft would further damage
her bottom and she might sink even
before she could be beached.
Special pumps from Liverpool ar
rived this afternoon, and their work in
the foreholds of the steamer have re.
suited in a perceptible increase in buoy
ancy.
The Paris assisted with her own en-.
gines in the efforts to get oil but churn-
ed up the water unavailingly. The
powerful tugs worked at her for over
an hour. The pumps have complete
mastery of the water in the vessels
hold and every advantage was with
them as to the buoyancy, but the ship
seems to be wedgod in between the
rocks,

ting inquiry into the alleged magnetic
attraction OF the rocks hereabouts, msy
prove OF inestimable value. The Corn

discuss this theory at which the state
