of seven from Rosetta, Miss. Fever broke out some time ago at Rosetta and the family decided that in the emergency New Orleans was about the sofest place in the south to head for. They were not interrupted in coming here, the local au- thorities having placed no quarantine against other infected points. The family registered at hotel and their presence there was reported to Dr. White. None of the members were i'll but it was con sidered wise in view of the fact that they had come from an infected point that they should go to some place of deten- tion for five days and the authorities suggested the emergency hospital. The family at first demurred in the belief that the hospital was place of horrors, but on personal investigation they found the institution so excellently kept and cheerful that they accepted the invita- ton and moved in during the day
 Negroes Desire to See President
 During his visit here the negro popu- lation desires a small portion of the Pres ident's time. Some arrangements along that line will possibly be made. When President Mckinley came, staying two days, he paid visit to one of the color ed educational institutions and the race hopes to have President Roosevelt to do the same thing, though acknowledging that the hours he will spend here will be very crowded ones. Today the Southern Pacific placed at the disposal of Mayor Behrman the fine New York steamer Comus to be used by the President in making his trip over the harbor and it is not improbable that the Comus will also carry him to the Pennsylvania in the event that Admiral Bronsons squadrog does not come up to the city. In the lat ter connection it is felt that the squad- ron may come to Canal street absolutely without any risk to the crew of the ship.
 At the emergency hospital today there were less than forty patients and most of trem were reported doing we'll The huising force has been reduced for the want of employment and it is believed the end of the present month will see the closing of the institution
