New Orleans, Sept. 25.-Fever cases
than usual were left over from Sun
day for investigation and the early re
port of new cases today was somewhat
under the average.
Two deaths occurred during the
night so that 1t seemed probable that
the number of fatalities at the end OF
the day might exceed those of Sunday
Generally, a big report of cases
comes on Monday, buta period has ar
rived when the doctors are confident
that the disease will begin to show a
decline and may break the rule that
has prevailed since the fever started.
Excellent Weather Prevails.
With September practically gone and
+ the fever under control, New Orleans is
looking to a rapid clean up of the pre-
vailing fever her. A spell of excellent
weather has set in and as the days
grow cooler there will be steady dis
appearance of mosquitoes even before
frost comes. There is a steady in

that the element of risk is now slight
What can be done by vigorous hand
ling of yellow fever situation under
modern methods is shown in the case
of Tallulah. Conditions have so much
improved that Dr. Chaissagnas consid-
ers the necessity no longer exists for
his remaining there, and is returning
home
The disease is now principally CON
fined to the negroes, and it is steadily
growing les samong them. In less
than month it is expected that there
will not be vestige Of the fever left
there
That the stegoDyia IS disappearing
from New Orleans is shown by the re-
port of DR.. Berry, who is in charge of
the originally infected district. Dr..
Berry says that for a week he has
found none of the fever breeding mo-
squitoes in his district.
The most favorable feature of the
l|iC ANl IAe past II HOuiS lOI New
Orleans IS the small number of persons
shown to be now under treatment, 288.
This is the smallest number since Aug.
8, and gives nope to the authorities in
their work of speedily stamping out the
disease.
The travelling men of New Orleans.
CT whom there are several hundred,
are arranging large entertainment,
the funds from which will be contrib
uted to the proposed isolation hospital
1t is probable that the date of the en-
tertainment will be at the final eradica-
tion of the fever.

man, a girl of 16 years, was found
dubbed into insensibility in the hall
way Of her home at 542 West One Hun

money for immunity from attack. Be
ginning Friday night a negro visited
the house nightly, appearing only to
Miss Grossman and escaping when
frightened by her screams. Despite
the lookout set for him by the family

Grossman before she had a chance OF
giving a warning

morning walk when she was attacked
He heard her scream and ran into the

Army Officer Commits Suicide.

Atlanta, Sept 25.-Captain G. c. M.
Godfrey, assistant surgeon, U. S. A.,
committed suicide at his residence on

revolver. Captain Godfrey was the son
of Colonel E. S. Godfred, commanding
officer of the Ninth cavalry, now sta

A Little Good Ball Mixed In Much Of
Extreme Burlesque Nature. :

tended by small crowds and many of
those who did attend were none too
we'll pleased, for the boys allowed
themselves to mix in little ball of the
farcial order. which, coming as 1t did
on top Of the really fine exhibitions
they have given in the Trolley League
race was none too well relished.
At Augusta about $50 people were
out. Watson, the former Augusta pitch
er. later of Hallowell, officiated as UNI
pire and succeeded in giving perfect
dissatisfaction TO about IS per cent. of
the spectators. Remission had to put
'em directly over. while people directly
in line said that Sparks did not have to
work any too hard for corners.
Hallowell scored two in the second.
two in the sixth and two in the ninth.
Augusta made one in the second and
two in the seventh.
Bradley's and Burns hitting were the
features. Bradley hitting for three
with q total of seven. a single and two
three baggers. and Burns. three with a
total of four, two singles and a
double. Nickerson also landed pref
ty double.
Remission struck out eight and
Sparks six men.
The game lasted | hour and 40 min
utes and but a small portion of the
crowd went to Hallowell for the sec
ond game.

FOOD VALUES.
How to Know Best Quality Of Foo
When Buying.

If women knew the value of testing
foodstuffs to prove their freshness
when marketing there would be less
trouble in securing cool meats, vege-
tables and fruits i'm not weather. So
few even experienced housekeepers do
more than look at the food and ask If
markets declare that not one person in
q hundred attempts to find cut whether
the food is in good condition.
Every woman should carefully ex-
anime meats. especially in the summer,
when a few minutes Of exposure to the
heat will faint them.'' declared n
wholesale dealer. The slight discolor-
alton is 50 easy to detect. ii housekeep-
ors only know how to tell It. If beef,
lamb or any other frasl neat Is cut and
taken from the icebox into a hot room
for thirty minutes 1t will lose its
bright newly cut appearance. put on
darker red and the surface will
gradually become stiff and dry. The
bone also takes on a ,larker hue and
begins to look old. When in this stage.
not put i'm an Icebox TO lie revived, it
will spoil i'm a few hours.
Meats once SO exposed are never
just as good as the fresh cut pieces.
To be certain beef. mutton and lamb
are tender and i'm good condition.
woman should run a small wooden
skewer right between the bone and tine
flesh and then draw it quickly under
her nose. II the meat Is a trif1e old or
stale she can readily detect II in the
strong odor. 1t is q good idea to poke
the surface with sharp, round point,
and II tiny holes appear for second
and then fill one may be pretty certain
the meat is fresh. In buying chops and
steaks one should always insist upon
having the outside skin cut Off, for It
frequently has an odor when the flesh
is absolutely good. -'rhe only way I
know of telling whether meats will be
tender is by the price. That's the only
test we know.
