at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Aug. "a sud-
den change in his condition To-
day speedily eliminated in the
death Of Archbishop P. L. Chap
pelle Of the diocese Of Louisiana.
The end came at 1880 p. m.
The news of the archbishOp's
death created . profound sh0ck.
MOnsignor Chappelle was taken
i'll with yellow fever on Friday.
He had returned to the city three
days before, havingjust complet-
ed . tour Of Louisiana and an
nounced ON his arrival his inten-
tion Of cooperating in the efforts
then in full swing to stamp out
the fever. The archbishop, how
ever, left his house only ON one
occasion before he was taken
sick. On Friday he complained
of the symptoms which are the
forerunner Of yellow fever. Or.
Larue, the archbishOp's physi-
clan, on Friday diagnosed the
case as . genuine attack Of yel-
low fever.
From the first DIR. Larue was
apprehensive as to the results.
Archbishop Chappelle was very
stout Of build, full blooded and
past go years Of age and the few
er is always alarming in q pat
lent under those conditions.
The disease made steady inrOads
upon the venerable patient and
early today he showed signs Of
increasing weakness. Before
noon there was an alarming
change for the worse. Eminent
physicians were immediatel
summoned for consultation, but
the archbishop was beyond sue
cor.
In 1891 Archbishop Ohappelle
was made bishop coadjutor Of
Santa Fe and became archbishop
of that diocese in 1894. Three
years later on the death of Arch
bishop Jansen he was named as
archbishop Of New Orleans. The
year following after the Spanish
American war he was appointed
by the pope as apostolic delegate
to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
Today's record of cases was
again large and there was an in
crease in the number of deaths.
New cases are swelling largely
as a result Of the vim and energy
which federal control of the sit
uatiOn has inspired and from q
gradual overcoming of the disin-
clination Of some Of the doctors
to make known their cases.
Thesoverwhelming prepOnder'
ance Of cases continues below
Canal street and the disease il
nowhere got o firm hold above
