 New Orleans, September 1s.-The aver age of new cases continues little higher than was expected but it is not caus- Ing any alarm as there was ample warn ing that September could be looked for to infiate the list a little. As matter of fact there is real cause for congratula- tion in the fact that the list is not much greater than it Is. The deaths are still very slow. indicating a death rate for the past month of much less than 10 per cent
 Of the deaths today one was really from cerebro-spinal meningitis, but 1t fol- lowed an attack of yellow fever. Another was Sister Mary St. Cellna of the Mount Carmel convent, whose case was reported a few days ago. Two deaths occurred in the emergency hospital, another evidence of the effectiveness of the work being done by the marine hospital service. Infection Is Eliminated. A statement by Dr. White says that there is now not single case of fever under treatment in either the sixteenth or seventeenth wards, which comprise the upper section of the city known as Carrollton.

There was very serious nest of infection near the city park which existed from the very beginning of the discovery of the fever in the city, and it seemed to defy all the efforts of the sanitarians 10 exterminate it. Finally the original case was found, and there has not been single case in that neighborhood since Sc, ,Jtember l. The plans for the sub-di- vision of the ninth ward into two districts have been completed Assistant Surgeon Guthrie being placed in charge of the lower division, which will also occupy a part of St. Bernard.
