information that the yellow fever had
broken out in the Crescent City So
Gov. Blanchard ordered Gov. Vardaman
to keep his troops at his own side of
the state line, which in effect was a de.
NAL to them of place to eat on
Louisiana's terra firma
Because of the friction engendered
by the fierce controversy of the two
governors the travellers seeking to
break through the quarantine lines
were held back at the lannon's mouth
and the point of bayonet. 1t was an
unusual state of affairs-a condition
unique in the history of the country.
When the New Orleans populace
realized that soldiers of the neighbor-
ing state had invaded Louisiana with
arms and gunboats the indignation was
so intense and general that even the
pressing necessity of fighting the
spread of yellow fever by making war
upon mosquitoes was not permitted to
stand in the way of preparations for
measures of reprisals and retaliation.
A light-draft vessel was chartered for
the naval brigade of the states militia
and it was announced that this vessel
would be fitted out and armed with
howitzers and machine guns and would
start out to protect Louisiana citizens
from further aggressions.

previously had filled itself with the
blood of yellow fever patient He
suffered from a very severe attack and
his was the first experimental case.
DR.. Lazear also experimental on him
self at the same time, but was not in
fected. Some days later, while in the
yellow fever ward, he was bitten by
mosquito and noted the fact carefully.
He acquired the disease in its most
terrible form and died martyr to SCI
ence and a true hero.
No other fatality occurred among the
brave men who in the course of the ex-
periments willingly exposed them
selves to the infection of the dreaded
| disease.
A camp was especially constructed
for the experiments about four miles
from Havana cfristened Camp Lazear
in honor of the dead comrade. The in
mates of the camp were put into most
rigid quarantine and ample time was
allowed to eliminate any possibility of
the disease being brought from Ha-
vana.
The personnel consisted of three
nurses and nine nonimmunes, all in
the military service, and included two
physicians.
From time 10 time Spanish immi-
grants, newly arrived, were brought
in from the immigrant station; per-
son not known to be immune was not
allowed to leave camp, or if he did was
forbidden to return.
The most complete record was kept
of the health OF every man to be ex-
perimented upon, thus eliminating the
possibility of eny other disease than
yellow fever complicating the case.
What the Experiments Proved.
Besides the experimental cases
caused by mosquito bites, four nonim-
munes were infected by injecting blood
drawn directly from the veins of yell

stages of the outbreak on land and

have begun on grand scale at any
moment. Intervention of the marine

Spectacular berating of each other

was found to be capable of causing ye.-

The details of the experiments are
most interesting, but it must here suf-
flee to briefly sum up the principal con-
illusions of this admirable board of in
vestigators of which Reed was the mas.
ter mind:
81. The specific agent in the CAUSE
ton of yellow fever exists in the blood
of a patient for the first three days
of his attack, after which time he
ceases to be menace to the health
of others.
SO. A mosquito Of single species,
stegomyia faciata, ingesting the blood
of the patient during this infective
period is powerless to convey the dis
ease to another person by its bite un-
til about IL days have elapsed, but
can do so thereafter for an indefinite
period, probably during the remainder
of its life.
SO. The disease cannot be spread
in any other way than by the bite of
the previously infected stegomyia.
Articles used or soiled by patients do

These conclusions pointed so clear
ly to the practical method of ex.
terminating the disease that they were
| at once accepted by the sanitary au-
thorities in Cuba and put to the test
in Havana, where for nearly a century
and a half, by actual record, the dis
ease had never failed to appear an
| nually.
Yellow fever has ceased absolutely
!, in Havana, though previously the num-
| Der of deaths annually had rarely
fallen below 800 and had often ex-
ceeded 1000. The proof of the mos
quito theory is regarded in scientific
circles as making it certain that vel
low fever has been conquered, and
that it will never again get beyond
control

What are the new shades? There
are dull, dark blues, dim plums and
the raspberry tints. What are the ma

to have great vogue, and our old friend

The henrietta may be made up in sim

When chosen for the latter costume, it
should be made with full, all-round

The Study of Yellow Fever.
In June, 1900, Maj. Reed was sent to
Cuba as president of a board TO study
the infectious diseases of the country.
but more especially yellow fever. AS
ISOLATED with him were Acting Assist
ant Surgeons James Carroll, Jesse w.
Lazear and A. Agramonte. At this
time the American authorities in Cuba
had for year and half endeavored
to diminish the disease and mortality
of the Cuban towns by general sani-
tary work, but while the health of the
population showed distinct improve
ment and the mortality had greatly
diminished, yellow fever apparently
had been entirely unaffected by these
measures. In fact, owing to the large
number of nonjmmune foreigners, the
disease was more frequent than usual
in Havana and in Quemados, near the
camp of American troops, and many
valuable lives of American officers and
soldiers had been lost. Reed was con-
WINGED from the first that general sani-
tary measures alone would not check
the disease, bur that its transmission
was partly due 20 an insect.

After this outburst it was thought

patrol-boats to smash the cruising

at Washington to intervene and curb
the fiery Vardaman's naval operations.
Imbroglio on Land.
A clash between the land forces Of
the two states seems to have been more
probable than between the forces afioat
in gulf and bay. Violation of the
sacred soil of Louisiana by invasion Of
Mississippi soldiers was the cause of
the imbroglio on land. Dunbar, a
small town on the Louisiana side of
the state line, was the place invaded
by the troops from Mississippi. 1t was
not claimed that the invaders came
with hostile intent and their real mis-
sion was known to be to get their
meals, as Dunbar was the only ac-
cessible place to get food in the coun-
try where the armed men of MISSISSIPPI
pi were maintaining one of the quar-
antine camps. But the governor of
Louisiana had hardened his heart
against the governor of Mississippi be-
cause of the latter's sensational pro-
nonuncement, in which the authori-
ties of New Orleans and all Louisiana
were charged with deception and mis-

f, shoulders, and, departure, they are
seldom cut low around the neck. That
senseless and dangerous fashion of the
| collarless coat seems threatened, and
every one should rejoice thereat. There
was nothing more comfortable and
healthful than the high, rolling collar,
which could be raised or lowered at
will. 1t was great convenience, too,
one did not have to be hampered with
furs. But for some reason or other
maybe the furriers did tive were
forced for several seasons to buy low
necked winter coats. You might hunt
! the city over and not find one coat or
cloak with collar, unless, indeed, it
happened to be an expensive carriage
wrap way above your purse and your
needs.
Both fall and winter wraps are to
have collars. There may be one Of
those high, turned-down collars that
really are quite a protection, over

ical investment, as it can be made to

fine broadcloth it is either dressy or
plain enough, just as one wishes. These
cloaks are made semi-ftting, but the
new ones are very shapely. Empire
coats are much worn across the water,
both the long and the three-quarters.
Probably the empire will find favor
here only as carriage wrap; it Is not
universally becoming and looks more
more appropriate for afternoon and
evening dress.
Suits will continue to be worn, long
coat suits and short-jacket suits; al
though there will be more buying OF
separate skirts and wraps than there
has been the last few years. With a
short costume fitted coat is liked.
New lingerie waists are being shown,
and will be worn with the underslip

new feature in these waists is for the

most of the waists. The cold days are
not to lessen the popularity of the

from lingerie to furs, mink is to be
worn-when the purse will allow of it.

by an animal parasite in the blood, is
transmitted from man to man through
the agency of certain mosquitoes, had
been recently accepted by the scientific
world; also, several years before, DR..
Charles Finlay of Havana had ad-
vanced the theory that a mosquito
conveyed the unknown cause of yellow
fever, but did not succeed in demon
strating the truth of his theory.
DIR. H. r. Carter of the marine hos
pital service had written paper show
ing that although the period of incu-
baton was only five days, yet house
to which patient was carried did not
become infected for from Is to 20
days.
To Reeds mind this indicated that
the unknown infective agent has to
undergo period of incubation OF
from 10 to Is days and probably in the
body of the biting insect.
Up to this time the most generally
accepted theory as to the causation of
yellow fever was that OF Sanarelli, who
claimed thatsthe bacillus iceteroids dis
covered by him was the specific agent
of the disease Mai. Reed, in associa-
ton with DR.. Carroll, had, however, al
ready demonstrated that this bacillus
was one widely disseminated in the
United States, and bore no such rela-
ton to yellow fever.
In June, July and August, 1900, the
commission gave their entire attention
to the meteorological study of the
blood of yellow fever patients and the
postmortem examination of the organs
of those dying of the disease. In "a
cases where the blood was repeatedly
examined. as well as in II carefully
studied autopsies, bacillus iceteroids
were not discovered, nor was there any
indication of the presence in the blood
of specific cause of the disease.
Application was made to Gen. Leon
ard Wood. the military governor of
Cuba. for permission to conduct exper-
iments on nonimmune persons, and a
liberal sum of money requested for
the purpose Of rewarding volunteers
who would submit themselves to ex-
periments.
Story of the Great Quest.
Money and full authority to proceed
were promptly granted, and to the
everlasting glory of the American sol
der volunteers from the army offered
themselves for experiment in plenty
with the utmost fearlessness.
Before the arrangements were en-
tirely completed DR.. Carroll, member
of the commission. allowed himself to
