At the April 18TH meeting of the
New York Medico-L egal Society held
in the Waldorf-Astoria in that city DR.
A. NJ. Fernandez de Ybarra, formerly
a sanitary ins oector for the United
States army in Cuba, read a paper
combating the belle. that yellow fever
comes from mosquito bites. He said
in part:
Within the last year and half a
medical commission of the Unites States
army operating in Cuba has made a
series of experiments at place in the
country near Havana and came to the
conclusion that yellow fever can be
transmitted from one man to another
only by the Stegomyia fosciata" mes
quito { the female alone J, after the di-
sease has incubated in the human be-
ings for from twelve to seventeen days.
So novel and revolutionary is this
theory that the Chamber of Deputies
and Senate of the French republic have
already unanimously voted an appro.
priation of 100000 francs for commits.
sion to study tne subject. A few days
ago sanitary congress was held at
Havana in which the conclusions of the
U lited States army commission were
strongly defended l question the
above mosquito theory, however, by
these arguments.

that out of total of eighteen non-im-
munes whom they inoculated with con-
TANNED mosquitoes, that 8, or 44,4 per
cent, have contracted the disease. |
claim that this is not by any means a
scientific proof on which to base any
conclusion.
''The building in which the non-com-
mu1es slept during incubation was not
placed under the same atmosphere and
other conditions as are hoases in cities
where yellow fever makes It's appear
ance
That the men were not selected
with due care.
"That they only occupied the build
ing during the night and in the day
time were permitted to go out to a
tent pitched in the vicinity.
Although the work of killing mos
qaitoes was only carried out in the
vicinity of Havana" went on DR.. de
Ybarra, 8, ct in all the seaport towns of
Cuba yellow fever has disappeared.
How is it then that the same good
result is obtained by killing mosquitoes
and by letting them alone7 Before this,
theory originated, cities by the dozen
where yellow fever existed were made
healthy, just as they are to-day, by
sanitation, isolation and attention to
public health. Before maintaining
proof had been made that the female
mosquito alone is the means of spread
ing the disease. experiments should be-
made to see whether bugs and heasl
cnanot also transmit it. Again, the

Spanish soldiers to Cuba no longer
exists, and an immigration bureau and
detention camp have been created for
undesirable immigrants,

At the Orpheum this week is presented
a bill that should prove highly satisfactory
to the patrons Of that house. since II af-
fords a pleasing variety OF that widely
diversified class OF acts which come under
the generic head Of vaudeville. The most
pretentioue number is q comedy sketch en-
titled "The Two Juliets," which in itself
has but little to recommend II, but In the
hands Of Lena Merville, Marion Elmoro
and Sydney Booth Is not by any means
slow. MAdge Fox, who claims Omaha as
her home and is known as the "hip-hop
lady" sings coon" songs and does flip
iops and cart-wheels. The Heras family,
two Of whom are women, do an acrobatic
turn which has never before been pre-
sented In this country except at the Chi
cago Opera house last week, and which
presents a number OF novelties. Much OF
the heavy work in the act is lone by a
woman whose most trying feat to all APP
pearances is in acting as the base of a
pyramid in which she supports the COM
bined weight OF all the others. A feature
OF the entertainment which proved partic-
ularly popular with the audience Of yester-
day afternoon was the singing Of Miss
Jessie Dale, a young woman with a BARI
tone voice and a repertoire Of good songs.
She was recalled until 1t became apparent
that a further encore would be rather an
imposition upon her than a compliment.
Collins and Madell present a musical turn
and Phil and Nellie Peters a sketch en-
titled Legitimate" and Charles Kenna
does a monologue which is intermittently

rents OF love and villainy cross and recross
until they are all tangled UP, and finally the
stream of love energies and lows smoothly

the part Of an old black nanny, around
whose ample figure the whole action Of the
play revolves. She is Johnny-on-the-spot
from post to win, and is philosopher, guide
and friend to half the white folks in the
play and Death on a Pale Horse to the
others. She straightens out the kinks,
sings some up-to-date songs in the most
approved style Of the modern coon shouter,
and otherwise carries herself so that II the
villain or the hero or both should fail 10
put in an appearance they never would be
missed, as Miss Mayhem would only have
to oblige with another song and the show
would go right on. 1t is redundant to say
that Miss Mayhem made a hit; in fact she
