A Kentuckian Who Has Had Yellow
Fever Gives Description Of Panama

Cynthlana. Ky, Sept. CIV. s.
Dale. of this city, who has been on
the Isthmusof Panama for some
months, writes vivid and enter
tanning letter telling how he surviv-
ed an attack of yellow fever. Mr..
Dale says:
81 took the fever at Panama, came
to Gorgona next morning and was
sent to Colon hospital in the cage
car. The railroad carries this. car all
the time for fever patients along the
line. When you get to Colon the car
is taken right to the hospital and
you are sent to the yellow fever
ward. and there you are put in a big
cage to stay. The hospital is built
out i'm the caribbean Sea.
81 was in the cage when Mr.. Moon
OF Massachusetts,, died. He was SUI
perlntendent of all painting on the
zone. He lasted seven hours. My room
mate only lasted five hours. and
thought my turn would come next;
but ! had made up my mind to fight
for life so much the harder. The
fourth day heard one of the doc
tors say. HE may last through the
day" There lay for FIVE hours
with very little chance. although

o'clock, in time TO take my medicine

"a great many people died here OF
yellow fever just by being cared.The
papers don't tell one-tenth of the
deaths. There has never been one
negro or Chinese death mentioned,
but they die like sheep. You cant
tell lust when you do get the fever.
for Il may be working on you three
or four days. All of a sudden you
take n chill. which will last an hour,
more or less. Then the fever starts
in; your legs pain: your back pains;
your arms. and last of all, your head;
you feel sick at the stomach and
want to vomit. but can't; you get
down in bed and then begin to get
purple under the finger nails. This
is the first siege; then the eyes begin
to turn yellow; then the ears; then
the feet, until you are as yellow as
saffron. This can all happen in fou,
hours or less time. When the tongue
begins to turn dark blue around the
edge the patient is almost dead. AT
this point the black vomit begins.
The nurse calls for screen and II
is put around the bed. The patient.
after reaching this stage. never lasts
more than five minutes. Then he Is
carried TO the dead house and kept
until o'clock in the afternoon,w when
the dead car backs up and the body
is put in and carried TO Monkey Hill
and buried. They always have from
five to ten graves dug ahead. When
was able to walk around and see

see five and six every day taken from

Col. j. r. Lemon, Of the Mayfield
Messenger has developed into a polit-
ical speaker. His initial appearance
was at Water Valley a day or two
ago, when Senator George asked the
people to vote for the constitutional
amendment to do away with the Sc
cret ballot. Col. Lemon at thS con-
clusion of the speech said he was
an unterrified democrat, wanted no
office, but did want the democrats to
vote against the proposed constitu-
tional amendment. The Mayfield Mes;
senger says OF Col. Lemons speech.
He said that human liberty was
the greatest privilege guaranteed to
the American people by our state
and national constitution, and that
every voter should be permitted to
go aud vote his sentiments without
being molested or made afraid by
the money king. the thugs and cleo
ton DULLES. After the speaking was
over, 1t was easy to learn that the
great majority of people there we're
opposed to this amendment"

E,IBER DAYS.
Anniversary COMMUNICATED by Cath
and Episcopal Churches.

Yesterday. Friday and Saturday OF
this week, are Ember days, which
are observed in the Roman Catholi {.
and Episcopal churches.
The word "Ember" is from the
Saxon "Ymbryne,'' which means a
circuit of course, and indicates that
these days follow the seasons in their
natural revolution; they are obseTv-
ed in spring. summer, autumn and
winter. They are the Wednesday
Friday and Saturday after the first
Sunday in Lent, Whitsunday, the
1 4th of September and the 18th OF
December. During these weeks the
bishops are engaged in examining
those who offer themselves as can
didates for the ministry; and on the
following Sunday such as are APP
proved are admitted unto the Holy
Order of Deacons or Priests, by the
laying on of the bishops hands.
At these times the members of the
church are urged to make special
prayers that the bishops may make a
wise choice of fit men to serve in the
ministry of the church and that the
men who are ordained may be faith
full to the most solemn vows taken by
them at their ordination.
These days are fast days and the
faithful OF the churches observe them
as such.

THE DUTY TO VOTE.

There is at present a widespread
discussion of the christian duty of
voting" says the Globe Democrat. 1t
appears to be a general admission
that the class of voters most negli-
gent of this duty are those called
Christians in the sense of holding a
church membership. In all of the cit
les of this country where this ques-
ton has had intelligent discussion.
there is agreement in the opinion
that the men of the churches c,msti-
tute the bulk of those who fail to ap-
pear at the polls on election days
Why this is true nobody pretends to
say, but that 1t is true appears to be
conceded. That it is true in St.Louis
will be admitted by everyone at AL
conversant with political conditions
here. 1t has been true for years. Only
at the presidential election of 1896,
when the burning issue was enc of
such vital consequence and the
struggle was so fierce, that even slug
CARDS were aroused to animation and
activity, has what might fairly BE-
termed "a full vote" been brought
out here. In that year the total vote
polled in st. Louis exceeded lit 900,
which has never since been equaled
Yet there has never been suspicion
of fraud entertained or expressed
for that election was held under the
fairest election law under which the
city has ever voted. adopted by a
Democratic senate and Republl-
can house of the Missouri assembly.
and signed by William j. Stone as
governor.
What has been true of st. Louis
has been even more markedly true
of Philadelphia, and true Unless de-
gree of New York, Chicago. Boston
and other great centers of popula-
ton. That the evil elements in mu-
nicipal politics have fiourished as the
result of better elements neglecting
their public duties is now we'll
recognized fact. which accounts for
the prevailing comment and the APP
peal to Christian citizenship" One
false note is struck in nearly all of
the expressions brought out by the
discussion of the topic. Nearly All of
the commentators cry out against
party organization as a source of the
evil, when, as a matter of fact, the
laxity of christian citizenship" is in
spite of rather than because Of.
party organization. There is never an
election preceding which the Chris
tian citizenship" of cities is not re-
minded of its duty and urged to it's
performance. What is of more i'm
portance. there is never a primary of
either of the great parties of which
christian citizenship" is not ad-
vised by compulsory legal notifica-
tion. and afterward by precinct can

Col. Urey Woodson. secretary of
the national democratic committee,
editor. publisher and politician, says
that the last election was bought.
AS the republicans carried about
everything in sight, they evidently
did a wholesale job. Such an emil
nent authority as Col. Woodson, how
ever, should be more explicit. Who
was bought? The democrats? How
much was paid for the moribund
party, and II the republicans bought
