Perkins, chief of the corps of medical inspectors. reported forty three of the new cases. These cases are among a large batch which had been reported as suspicious and which he investigated today Only nine or the new foci are above Canal Street.

is engaged in a number of large levee contracts in Louisiana and Mississippi. Levees are Suffering.
 Levee work under the direction Of the State and the Levee Boards is suf- fering. This is the season of great est activity in levee building. due to the necessity of putting all levees in shape before high water, but the State engineers are all bottled up here and unable to go to, points where work IS in progress owing to the quarantines. Unless there is a modification of quar- antines in their interest a considerable setback will be given to repair and reconstruction.
 One of today's victims of the fever is Carl A Schaaf, an Item reporter. Schaaf covered the downtown court beat in the infected quarter and lived in the vicinity. His wife was strick- en with the fever some time ago and he assisted in nursing her back to health. Later he was himself stricken. He came here from Fort Wayne, Ind. some years ago and was about thirty years of age.
 The ministers of the various churches tomorrow will renew their appeals 70 their congregations to assist the au- thorities in the effort to stamp out the fever. The educational campaign conducted through the press and from the pulpit and from the lecture plat form has been remarkable in its re- suits as shown by the practical unani- mity with which a city of 350,000 in- habitants has sought to observe the
 precautions recommended. Little re- mains to be done along that line but the ministers will urge their parish oners to relax none of their efforts to prevent the spread of the infection.
 News from outside the city con- tained nothing startling. There was a secondary development on Arodyne plantation, in the Terrenbonne par ish, the son of the overseer being stricken today.
 An emergency hospital had been provided and the case is isolated. A suspicious case was reported from La Fourche crossing. in La Fourche par ish, and Surgeon Guiteras has been asked to go there from Patterson to investigate. This case is one or an Italian who harbored a refugee three weeks ago. The refugee was sick and recovered and the Samaritan is now stricken twenty days after. Dr. Tieh- enor, who is at Bon Ami, in Calcasieu parish, reports that the suspicious case reported yesterday in the detention camp is positive and has been isola- ted. The situation at Patterson is un- changed. There have been two new cases and no deaths to date.
 Surgeon White has received instruc- tions from Surgeon General Wyman not to allow any bananas to be shipped out of New Orleans to any point. It was believed yesterday that this re- striction applied only to localities In the South. but positive information was had today that 1t means an absolute stifling of the New Orleans fruit trade. The ground for this order Is that mos auitoes may get into the banana cars which cannot be fumigated. There were several conferences on this sub- ject today when Dr. White, Dr. Sou chon and agents of fruit vessels. but they did not result in any modification of the order. *. - N

A School Outing.

The yearly outing of advanced
classes in German schools are a
source of great pleasure and add
a great deal to the education of
the German boy. AS Germany is
not such a very large country, in
the course of his school years a
scholar has splendid opportunities
to visit various parts of his native
land in company with his teachers.
The expenses, which are within
reach of all, are estimated by the
directors Of the school, who also
select the places to be visited.
When the day arrives everybody
meets at the schoolroom; here the

Is the World Growing
Better?

Is the world growing better?
If we ask the pessimist this ques-
ton he will answer in the negative,
and declare that the world is going
to the eternal bowwows, or some
thing to that effect. On the other
hand the optimist, looking through
his binoculars of hope and faith,
can already-in fancy at least
discern the first faint rosy glow
heralding the millennium.
The optimist's belief on this
question is certainly desirable
one, but do the actual facts in the
case justify this belief? I think
not. Perhaps a middle course be-
tween these two extremes would
come very near the truth. In other
words, that the worlds progress
towards perfection is extremely
SLOW
As each new administration goes
into Office, in our cities, we hear
anu read much of reforms, how
gambling, the social evil, and other
vices are to be suppressed and the
city purified. But the attempts
along this line seem to be futile
and useless; the evils exist just as
virulently as before, and will con-
tlnue as long as present social and
economic conditions survive. The
evils mentioned, as we'll as all
other forms of sin and wrong, can
be traced to one common cause,
selfishness.
Every sin or wrong which this
world has ever known has been
but the manifestation of some
form of sel6shness. Present con-
dlt1OnS OF life certainly do not tend
to lesson this great breeder of
evil conditions which places every
human being in fierce competi-
ton with his fellows for existence.
This competitive system is Of
course the factor which has pro-
duced most of the worlds material
advancement. And while this is
the ruling motive of life with the
great majority of the worlds in
habitants, we can surely look for
very little progress towards any,
thing resembling the millennium.

These sturdy, rugged, robust chaps,
And warriors of fame,

A lesson to their shame.

And now they're beating quick retreat
They're hiking home again.

Ecneeit.

OOME men such high opinions hold
Of all they do, and think, and say,
} They seem of eighteen-karat gold
To think they're made, instead of clay.
They force on US advice unsought,
Attempt to mold our minds like wax,
And seem to think their trains of thought
Are run on elevated tracks.

panied by their class drum corps,
they start on their march through
the city. The heaviest boy carries
the class flag, and every body wears
a class cap, which corresponds in
color with the class flag. A leath-
er strap around their shoulder
holds the provision box, tin arti-
Gle painted green and of oval
shape-they are furnished by the
school. Nobody is permitted to
carry any intoxicating beverages.
their canteens contain only water.
All have been drilled since they
began school life, at their sixth
year, and it is unnecessary to say
that their parade through the city
is the correct thing; indeed
William does not forget to impress
upon their youthful minds that
soldiers life is their only legiti-
mate destiny. Anyone misbehav-
ing while on parade is sent home
at once, as the reputation of the
class depends upon good behavior,
and the teachers watch with pride
the fruits of their labors.
At the depot they break ranks,
all discipline is thrown aside to
make room for joyous celebration,
and lunch. On the train national
songs are sung. William teaches
them plenty of good songs; they
are standby in peace and war.
Every boy knows many songs by
heart; every day he is required to
sing the praises of the fatherland.
= The teachers are always busy ex-
planning the passing country and
the beauties of the scenery.
Whenever the train comes to
stop, flowers are gathered for the
herbarjum, or some chap who is
lucky enough comes with smiling
face, holding in his hand some
rare snake or frog, which will be
added to the trophies of the class
Birds or birds eggs are not mo-
Tested. All feathered knights are
safe from harm as no teacher al
lows them to be disturbed.
At the strange city the class is
met by delegation of professors
of the town. Refreshments are
served by the friendly ladies who
watch with great care that no &C.
cident will happen to any of the
visitors The teachers are dined
by their fellow men, while the
boys roam through the town in
search of books and souvenirs.
Most outings last but from one
to five days, according to the age
of the boys. The older classes
make the most extensive tours,
which sometimes include an ex-
cursion to France or Switzerland
and Italy. Many friends anxious
ly await their return home. Some
times other classes call for them
at the station and escort their
schoolmates, whose long absence
has made them dearer than ever.
American teachers can easily
arrange tours like these described.
Many boy in our county seats
would be glad if he were afforded
an opportunity to visit the largest
cities of his own state. 1868.

thousand feet below lay the CITY,

had ceased: silence reigned SUI
