MUCH YELLOW FEVER.
Forty-nine Deaths at Havana During
August.

NEW YORK. Oct. S.-Yellow fever
prevails in Havana to a greater ex-
tent than at any time since 1897, says
a Washington dispatch to the Herald.
For the week ended September Is there
were nine deaths. The week ending
September % also showed nine deaths.
while there were nineteen during the
week ended September %.
The marine hospital reports show a
total Of forty-nine deaths for the month
Of August. In August 1898 there were
only sixteen deaths from yellow fever
in Havana and In August 1899 there
were only thirteen. Compared with
previous years. however, the mortality
from yellow fever this year is small.
The deaths from the disease in August
1895 were 100; 1894. 70; 1895, 120; 1896,
262; 1897. 102 The high death rate in
1895 and the two following years is due
in large measure to the unacclimated
Spanish soldiers who were stricken
with the disease.
The excess Of mortality during the
present year over the two preceding
years is due to the fact that there are
many more unacclimated persons in
Havana now than at any time since
1897.

Cadet DOrtch mad been invited 10 the

the orders Of the upper class men gen
orally, though they know they are go
ing to the appointed place to be hazed.
So far only a mild form Of hazlng has
developed, such as making a 'pleb'
stand on his head saying Sir to the
upper class men and then being hailed
as they pass by with the command to
pull down your hat" The investiga-
ton may lead to the report Of more
serious offences.

FroclSs For Weddings.

Decided originality is shown by
many Of the frocks now in preparation
for weddings. The first one shown in

gown in white satin. It's long tunic,
reaching clear to the skirt hem, is cut
into series of deep points finished
all around with friil upon frill in white

skirt in chiffon is revealed by the
tunic's points. The corsage consists

with bolero of the satin edged with q

which is draped the lace. In this

ceeded in producing pattern for a
circular-cut skirt in frock or coat that
does not sag in the seams or hang un-

shown.
In cotton frocks seams are connect
ed with insertion by lines Of veining.
These stripes of insertion extend in
some models to the extreme edge of

The dealers in automobiles seem to
have overlooked useful point in no.
advertising more copiously the special
adaptability of their machines for
Sunday use. The great objection of
the more scrupulous Sabbath keepers
to permitting folks to take their car
riages out on Sunday has been that it
makes too much work for servants and
horses. This is fairly sound objec.
ton, for the desire to make Sunday,
as far as possible, day of rest for all
hands has great deal to recommend
it. But an automobile, especially the
sort that tho owner himself guides,
need make hardly any Sunday work
in the stable, states l.. s. Martin, in
Harper's Weekly. At pinch it can
even stand unwashed until Monday
morning Neither coachman nor
groom is needed to take it out, or even
wait at home until it comes back. 1t
is the ideal Sunday vehicle. beating
even the bicycle, since its use is neither
so laborious as to impair due Sunday
rest nor incompatible with Sunday
clothes.
