81 NEW CASES YESTERDAY.
New Orleans, La. Aug. f2.-Om'
ial report To q y. m. yesterday:
Fever StilI Increasing.

New Orleans. La, Aug, 12.-With
surgeon White, of the Marine Hos
pltal service frankly expressing no
surprise at the increase in the num-
Der of cases of fever and expecting
that for some time to come there will
be a large quota brought TO light dali
~. the people of New Orleans have
made up their minds to await in pa
fence which is now fairly in swing.
An unexpected blow was struck at
the Marine Hospital staff when one
of the men sent here to assist in the
fight against the disease was himself
stricken. The victim is Surgeon Il.
Berry, who came from New York.
He was of the first to reach New Or
leans, and because he had been
through the Cuban campaign and had
had the yellow fever in Texas. he was
considered immune and was put in
charge of the work in the originally
infected area. where the fever has
raSeu most hercely
There were eighty-three patients
at the emergency hospital yesterday.
Earlier in the campaign when the
number of cases treated there were
considerably fewer, the death rate
was higher but it has now been con-
siderably lessened and daily patients
are being discharged as cured
In the presence of a congregation of
mourners that partly filled the cathe-
dral and with some fifty priests par
ticipating in the service, mass was
said yesterday for Archbishop Chap
ellie. Interment in the crypt Of The
cathedral followed.

II will be relief to many people,
especially those easily frightened, to
know that there is not the slightest
foundation for the startling reports
that gain currency every day In Pa
ducah about yellow fever being here.
For two weeks or more these reports
start somewhere in some way, and
quickly spread ali over town to
alarm countless people. There has
never been the slightest trace of yell
low fever here. and no cause for the
reports. The health authorities are
now trying to trace some of them
back to the romancers who start
them, and expect when they catch
them to make examples of them in
the courts whether they start the
reports iDnocently or maliciously.
Down in some OF the southern cities
they do things" to people who are
responsible for this class of damag-
ing rumor.
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1905-08-12

The board of works is proposing
some good improvements, especially
the one having all trash and garb>
age in the business part of the city.
where people are so much more num-
erous and have so much less room
than in the outskirts and residence
portions, removed regularly by the
city. Each house or building, how
ever. must be equipped with large
can, which will set outside and not
prove very costly. and will insure a
much cleaner city than We now have.
1t is to be hoped that the board of
works will be met half way by the
people, and that the plan will be a
success. If the city can afford to
send around regularly and collect the
contents of the can, the people them
selves can certainly afford to buy the
can.

was dear old Major Blimber's meth
cd of disposing of questions which,
he could not understand, or which
did not appeal to his rather obtuse
intelligence. II Is that way about
the mosquito theory of yellow fever.
II has been found by actual demon
stration that the mosquito carries
the fever from one person TO another
and the fact has been seized upon
for the pronouncement that the mos
auito furnishes the only means OF
infection. A man meets boy on
mule going to mill and later meets a
man on mule going to mill. He
writes II down in book as a theory,
that only mules are used to carry
the grain to the mills. IL Is absurd
TO say that the destruction. or pre-
vention of mosquitoes will mean the
extinction of yellow fever. The two
will go together, probably, at least
there will be no yellow fever when
the mosquitoes are destroyed, not
because of the destruction OF the
mosquitoes but because of the re-
moval of the conditions which led to
the health, long life and prosperity
of the little beast And II will prob
ably be found that that is all there
is to the mosquito theory of the
causation of yellow fever"

Daily Thought.
"A life of cheerful yesterdays and
confident tomorrows."
PROFIT BY THE EXPERIENCE

Every city in the country should
take warning from the awful expert
ence of New Orleans, which, for
failing to spend a few thousand dol
lars for better sanitation. is reaping
as a reward the loss of hundreds of
thousands of dollars in business,
and scores of lives. The Courier
Journal says of municipal negli-
gence:"
"The costly experience through
which New Orleans is passing affords
a lesson by which that city may or
may not profit in the future. But
the instruction so afforded is not for
New Orleans alone, but for all other
cities similarly situated. The most
expensive sins may not always be the
worst in a moral or religious sense;
but of all offenses, venial or moral,
negligence certainly takes rank as
among the costliest in a worldly
point of view. 1t is not the highest
viewpoint certainly, but 1t is one
that appeals to majority of the peo-
pie.
What the introduction of the yell
low fever has cost the Crescent City
in positive outlay will be known
after a while, when the bills have all
come in. At present, IL is largely
a matter of conjecture. But there is
an item of quarter of a million de-
manded by the government, and
thousands of dollars spent for clean
tributions may be required in future
it is now impossible TO say; let us
hope that they will be small. II is
well said that 1t will probably never
be possible to estimate the financial
loss from the diversion of trade from,
the city to other places, but il is GER
tain to go far beyond the positive
outlay for sanitary measures. Yet
all this loss of trade and much of the
other loss were distinctly prevent
able. II is the consequence of negli-
gence. The loss of life, of course,
is due to the same cause, but for the
moment We are treating the matter
in its financial aspects. for the rea-
son that the negligence complained
of is largely due TO an indisposition
to expend the money needed for pro-
lection"
