VIII Not Open Public Schools.

Although the health authorities here
made it known that there would be no
objections to the opening of the pub
| lie schools in October, provided that
certain precautions were taken, the
school board has decided upon an in
definite postponement of the original
| date, which was Sept. 25. If there
as a steady improvement from this
time forward a special meeting of the
board will be held between Sept. %
and Oct /, to fix time for the open
ing. Hundreds of school chill lren
| are scattered all over the country and
will not be returned here until the fe.
yer is practically wiped out.
While the death rate remains so low,
the federal and local authorities will
| continue to believe that the situation
here is steadily improving, in spite
of the slight jump in new cases yes
terday. In several instances lately
deaths have been due to rather neg
| lect than to inattentiOn, demonstrating
that the fever is now appearing in a
| form SO mild that it responds rea3i-
| ly to *airly decent treatment Every
| day e~.ienve comes of increasing faith
| in the country in the mosquito theo-
| ry. The success of the fight here has
amazed many of the rural communi-
| ties, whom experience in the past had
| taught that yellow fever was uncon-
q h cnf n hn1
| did this year early in the summer An
| instance of the good impression made
| by DR., Whites work is shown in the
action of the town council of Amite
| City, La, which now announces that
| it will receive all kinds of fruit and
vegetables from New Orleans except
bananas and cabbage.
Greenyille, Miss, on the other hand.
| is an instance of the other extreme in
| quarantine, Because there has been
an inoonsequential spread of the infec.
| tion in that state, the Greenville health
/ officer has announced that nobody now
| outside of the county will be allowed
to enter after Sunday and that unless
| there is remarkable Improvement in
| conditions, rigid regulations will be
continued until frost comes
| Summit, Miss, which was very strict
| at the beginning of the fever has now
| taken a liberal attitude and removed
/ the quarantine against certain freight
| from New Orleans, and other points,
provided it is certificated by the Ma.
| rine Hospital Service. From Min,
den, La, Health Officer Vance wire
Superintendent Ford, of the Vicksburg
Shreveport and Pacific road to screen
all cars entering the parish. 1t is
indicated in the reply that rather than
screen the train will not enter the
parish
AS an indication of their faith in
! the belief that this is the last visi
tation of yellow fever, New Orleans
will have the directors of the recent,
ly merged canal and Louisiana banks
are about to announce the erection
of a modern ten story bank and office
building at the corner of Camp and
Gravier streets. The present Canal
and Provident bank buildings will bc
torn down for the purpose.

some were very seriously hurt.
The concussion was like an earth

great excitement which was not les
sened by the fact that communication
on the trolley line was broken of
several miles from here. It is now
said that Manager Rand was not kill

10 have been started by spontaneous
combustion in a wheat bin on the top
story An explosion was heard by
several workmen who have hurried
to that floor. The firemen experienced
considerable difficulty in reaching the
fire, and in obtaining water, although
20 engines and two fire tugs were at
the scene. The nearest water plug
to the fire was more than 200 feet
away, while others were almost 400
yards from the building.
The elevator is controlled by Har-
ris, scotten company, grain brokers,

Within Is minutes after the fire had
been discovered, the entire building
was mass of flames The heat was
intense and the firemen were forced
back from. the building. An hour
after the fire the floors of the build
ing collapsed, AMI later the sides OF
the building gave way.
Hundreds of bushels of grain flowed
into the river from the north side of
the building.
The elevator contained about 845,-
900 bushels of grain, of which about
half was oats.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that has occurred in years.
Large embers were carried across
the river to the north and fell among
the lumber piles in the yard of John
Spry Lumber company, Hines Lumber
company and the Side Side Lumber
company.

from her. Accordingly, she resolved
to tell no one the facts, and took care

She arrived at Carriers yesterday,
where he husband, who had gone there

TOOK SHIP AROUND THE HORN.
Admiral Clark Got Command Because
of Skill at Chess.

Admiral Charles K. Clark, who took
the battleship Oregon around Cape
Horn and inIo action at Santiago, is
said to owe his appointment as com
mander of that boat 10 his skill as a
chessplayer. Capt. Clark was at San
Francisco in command OF the gunboat
Bennington. When ashore he spent
much time in the classroom of the
Mechanics library, where he met
some of the best players in the city.
According to the story, when the time
came to appoint man to command
the Oregon a friend of Clark's in the
navy department at Washington put
his name forward. you should see
that man play chess" said he, and
went on to describe his intense appli-
cation and determination, adding:
And that's why think he can bring
the battleship around safely, if any
one can" Three hours later Clark
received orders to assume command
Of the Oregon and take her at once
to Cuban waters.
