Lone S.ar state has SO far failed to
back up with the rifles and bayonets
and of its militia. Border
towns in Alabama and Arkansas have
also met the refugees from Louisiana
with shotguns and turned them back
or imprisoned them in quarantine
camps. Even as far north as Tennes-
see and southern Illinois the Quaran-
tine is maintained to a certain extent,
but in these latter districts it is a
modified quarantine and without the
menacing adjunct Of shotguns or bayo-
nets. Memphis, it may be recalled, has
as much reason as any city in the
world to impose a rigorous quarantine
In times of danger from yellow fever,

Charles Finlay Of Havana had adj
yanced the theory that a mosquito
conveyed the unknown cause of yellow
fever. but did rot succeed in demon
strating the trrih of his theory.
DR.. H. r. Carter of the marine hos
pital service had written a paper show
ing that although the period OF incu-
baton was only five days, yet q house
to which a patient was carried did not
become infected for from Is to 20
days.
To Reeds mind this indicated that
the unknown infectiye agent has to
undergo a period OF incubation OF
from 10 to Is days and probably in the
body of the bling insect.
Up to this time the most generally
accepted theory as to the causation of
yellow fever Wa; that of Sanarelli. who
claimed that the bacillus iceteroids dis
covered by him was the specific agent
of the disease Maj-Reed. in associa-
ton with DR.. Carroll, had. however. al
ready demonstrated that this bacillus

hospital service in Vera Cruz, and last
ly by the delegation from the Pas
teur institute of Paris in Rio de
Janeiro, all confirm in the most on
vincing manner both the accuracy and
comprehensiveness of the conclusions
Of the American commission. 1t has
been well said that Reeds experiments
will always remain as models in the
annals OF scientific research. both for
the exactness with which they were
adapted to the points to be proved and
the precautions taken that no expert
ment should be vitiated by failure to
exclude all possible sources of error.
Appreciation of Reeds work was in
slant in the scientific world. Honorary
degrees from Harvard university and
the University of Michigan were con-
ferred upon him.
Yellow fever has ceased absolutely
in Havana, though previously the num-
Der of deaths annually had rarely
fallen bslow 500 and had often ex-
ceeded 1000. The proof of the mos
quito theory is regarded in scientific
circles as making it certain that yell
low fever has been conquered, and
that it will never again get beyond

who has been a republican. a prohibi-
ZIONIST, a populist, a democrat. n
then a republican again. but who is
the most universally liked man in the
house of representatives. And why
should he not tie popular? His three
big touring Ear automobiles are at the
command OF his friends. He gives on
an average two sumptuous banquets
each month during sessions of con-
gress in the marble mansion on K
street built and occupied by the late
John Sherman. These dinners cost
about $25 a plate, and Sibley is not
niggardly with his invitations. He has
a swift yacht III Lake Champlain and
a summer nome where his congression-
al cronies are entertained in royal
style.
Sibley's popularity is not confined to
his own side Of the house, but all the
democratic leaders are his guests al
some time during the session, and the
influence he caa exert in a social way
counts for a good deal in legislation
Sibley car speak on the floor, but his
big-hearted' hospitality is his greatest
card.
