DEATHS AND FUNERALS
George A. Steele.

George A. Steele member Of the
Steele-Smith Dry Goods company, died
at his mothers residence in Smithfield
early yesterday morning. well beloved
young man has passed away--one of the
most highly esteemed men in Brming-
ham. Death came to him in the full flush
OF young manhood with all things around
him to make life dear. He was born
and reared where he died and his
twenty-seven years Of life had been full
of good deeds. All who knew him were
his friends. His business career short
1t was, had been crowned with sue
cess, for he was already in the front
rank of among the men who are making
Birmingham. And not only in his business
was he noteworthy among the young
men of the city, but he illustrated those
high and noble qualities of character
which influenced others for good. He dia
his part in the church and in those organ
izations which helped the poor. The de-
ceased was the son of the late Sylvester
Steele and he is survived by his mother,
who was Miss M. C, Allen. He began his
business career with earle, Terrell & Co.,
where he soon displayed talents of no
common order. About two years ago in
conjunction with James Arthur Smith he
organized the Steele-Smith Co., which at
once took place among the first mer-
camille houses of Birmingham. He was
never a strong ran physically and he
succumbed to the rain of the many ac-
tivities which his dent nature led him
to undertake. One who knew him well
says: George Steeie leaves behind him
no friend whom he failed to find time to
serve and not one but will drop a tear of
sorrow over his grave" The funeral will
take place this afternoon at o'clock from
his mothers home and the interment will
be in Oak Hill cemetery. The Rev. Dr.
Stagg will conduct the services. The list
of pallbearers will be found in the formal
funeral notice.

Hinton e. Carr, a well-known attorney,
has received the following letter from
X. e. Todd. cashier CT the Pullman COM
pany in New Orleans describing the yell
low fever conditions in that city:
New Orleans, La, August g. 1905.
H. E. Carr, Birmingham Ala:
Dear Mr.. Carr-In response to- your in
quiry regarding the yellow fever stu
alton in New Orleans beg to state that |
have been her only tyo or three days
since the fever began. However. 1 see
no reason why the people here should
not feel hopeful over the present situation.
dspite the seemingly alarming figures that
are being given out
THAT, 4 should think, is in itself an en-
couraging Sign for it shows that all of
the infection is being unearthed and being
properly treated. Under the modern
the mosquito.
THE doctors here all say that 1t is only
the cistern mosquito which bites a patient
during the first three days of fever that
can transmit the disease, then 1t requires
eight or ten days for the mosquito to be
able to transmit the germ to another
person.
THE whole community Is thoroughly
aroused and | believe that the mosquito
will be exterminated beyond a doubt
IF that can be accomplished and the
theory of the doctors is correct, then
there is no reason why the disease should
not be stamped out entirely before frost.
Naturally there is spirit of dreadful
uneasiness among a great many people
here and business has and Is suffering to
a considerable extent as the result of the
auarantnes which have been instituted
in various parts of the south. They are
even now quarantinlng against fruits and
vegetables and some communities have
actually isolated themselves.
1.-THE people here have by no means
lost hope and I believe are thoroughly
capable of coping with the situation.
tx. E. TODD"
