Mrs. William Waldorf Astor.

London newspaper readers hear
much of William Waldorf Astor. but

woman with a touch of silver in her
hair that seems really to enhance her

handsome woman and can boast of
a fine complexion. Rather above mid
die height. she carries her diamonds
bravely and she has magnificent col
lection. On great occasions she wears
a massive diamond crescent which is
much admired and her marQuise ring
is so unusually large that even phleg-

Ruins of Old Roman Town.

Roofing up the foundations of an old
building in the hamlet of Gourgom,
near Meude, has brought to light the
buried ruins of a great city of Roman
Gaul, of which all vestiges had perish
ed. This was the city of Veyrune,
known to have been in existence in
the third century of our era. and be-
lieved to have been overwhelmed by
some great catastrophe. The very
site was unknown. A detail of some
interest connected with the discovery
is that the buried ruins are almost
under the spot where Du Guesclin
died. There has been found among
them a fine silver urn containing a
large number of Roman coins, almost
fresh from the mint and beautifully
preserved. They bear the effigies of
the Empress Julia, Maximian, Alexan-
der, Severus and other emperors.-

Total to date .......... So
New Orleans, Aug. 1.-THE days
record is something of an improve
ment of the day before, both as to new
cases and points of infection, and is
taken as an encouraging sign. A
large majority of the sub-foci are
above Canal street, one of them be-
ing at Carrollton The proportion of
Italians is much larger than the day
before.
The fact that the surgeon, G. M.
Berry of the marine service is now
down with the fever has not damp
ened the ardor of his colleagues.
Those who have never had the fever,
while they take every possible precau-
ton against it, know that being
thrown continually into buildings
which may be harboring infected
mosquitoes, they run great deal of
risk of being bitten at one time or an
other. DR.. Berry, since his arrival
here ten days ago, has been working
right in the midst of the central foci
of infection. He had high fever to-
night, but his physical condition is
good and as he has youth on his side,
the chances are all in his favor.
The only news from other points in
the state is from Patterson, where
four new cases were reported. A hos
pital has been opened for the indi-
gent cases there. The total to date
Is SO cases and no deaths.
New Orleans-With Surgeon White
of the marine hospital service frankly
expressing no surprise at the increase
in the number of new cases of fever
and expecting that for some time to
come there will be a large quota
brought to light daily: the people of
New Orleans have made up their
minds to await in patience the results
of the federal campaign which is now
fairly in swing. The life of a
stegomyia MOSQUITO has not been
completely ascertained, but the fever
has made so much Roadway when it
was discovered and it has prevailed
so generally in the lower sections of
the city since then that there are
doubtless many of the insects which
have escaped the disinfecting crusade
launched against them and they may
be expected to transmit the disease
for some days longer at least. Up to
noon today a dozen cases of fever had
been officially reported and the fact
that none of these were cases turned
in by the official inspectors but cases
submitted by the doctors themselves
was taken as an encouraging sign. Dr.
White himself is much pleased with
the evidence of improvement in the
situation.

Doctor Brigham Says

The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanlzind is not be-
cause it is stimulant. not because it
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured. trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould aclxnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
