get out of this infected area, but
the Mississippi State Board of
Health has deemed it wise to place
La quarantine upon the city of
New Orleans, at least until it is
ascertained that the disease is con-
Itrolled or limited to the area.
There are no cases reported in
Mississippi, and there is no need
for a panic or unreasonable fear.
ion the other hand, let the citizens
of the various communities in the
State institute rigid sanitary
measures and the disease may be
prevented from spreading even if
a few cases should develop or ad-
United into the State. It is now
generally believed by the medical
physicians that the mosquito is at
least the principal means of trans
mission of the disease and for this
reason it is important that all
houses where possible be wired
with good screens and mosquito
bars should be used at night. All
pools or places of standing water
! should be treated with coal oil
which destroys the larvae of the
mosquito. About two tablespoons
to barrel of water is sufficient.
Coal oil should be spread over
moist spots or places about the
premises where water has been al
lowed to stand, to prevent the
development of the mosquito.
The old idea that the disease is
conveyed from place to place
through the air or by means of
baggage, freight or other sub
stances has been exploded (unIess
these substances are of a character
to allow the transmission in them
of infected living mosquitos). A
vigorous fight for thorough sani-
tation should be made. All refuse
matter and the filth from the
premises should be burned and a
Liberal quantity OF dry lime
should be scattered over damp and
foul places.
1t is early in the season, there
fore it is important that we should
begin to place the State ID q per-
fectly sanitary condition. We
suggest that each municipality
take prompt and vigorous action
looking towards this end. Let the

a row of columns which separate
the Oriental from the Occidental.
On the Occidental side are hand
some mahogany cigar, wall, and
show cases. To the rear of these

stationery with which gentlemen
are supplied gratuitously. Still
to the rear of this is mahogany

The promoters can boast of The
most expensive cash register in
the State. The cigar display case
is one of the most elaborate and
possibly the only one in the entire
South. It is of the roll pattern
and was copied from the "Ange-
Ius" in Los Angeles and the
Green in Pasadena, Califor-
mia. BY releasing a spring the
entire top rolls back and every
cigar in the case is exposed to
view.
While the buzzing fans are cool

freshments are satisfying thirst,
and while the beautiful decora-

Demands of European Claimants.
During the past two years the European
claimants, except the English, whose in
terests We're embraced in those of the
American companies, have, with the sup
port of their respective governments, been
growing more and more importunate in
pressing their unsatisfed demands. The
French and the Belgians, in 1901, had en-
tered into a contract with the Dominican
government, but, after a few payments
were made on account, it fell into neglect
Other governments also obliged the Do
minican government to enter into arrange
ments of various kinds by which the reye-
nues of the republic were in large part Sc
queStrated, and under one of the agree
ments, which was concluded with Italy in
1903 the minister of that government was
empowered directly to collect from the i'm
porters and exporters, tnat portion of the
customs revenues assigned to him as Sc
curty. AS the result of chronic disorders
attended with constant increase of debt.
the state of things in Santo Domingo has
become hopeless, unless the United States
or some other strong government shall In
terpose to bring order out of the chaos
The custom houses. with the exception of
the two in the possession of the financial
agent appointed by the United States, have
become unproductive for the discharge of

lutions. The first effort of revolutionists il

to obtain funds, which are then disposed Of
at the absolute discretion Of those who are
collecting them. The chronic disorders pre-
vailing in Santon Domingo have moreover
become exceedingly dangerous to the in
terests of Americans holding property in
that country. Constant complaints have
been received of the injuries and incon-
veniences to which they have been SUBJ
jected.
AS an evidence of the increas sing aggra-
walton of conditions, the fact may be men
toned that about year ago the American
railway, which had previously been exempt
from such attacks, was seized, it's tracks
torn up, and a station destroyed by reyo-
lutionary bands.
The ordinary resources of diplomacy and
international arbitration are absolutely i'm
potent to deal wisely and effectively with
the situation in the Dominican republic,
which can only be met by organizing its
finances on a sound basis and by placing
the custom houses beyond the temptation
of insurgent chieftains. Either we must

The Dominican Debt
The Dominican debt owed to European
creditors is about $4,000 600, and Of this
sum over $3.50 600 is more or less formal
European governments have several times
forth the wrongs and intolerable delays to
which they have been subjected at the
hands of the successive governments of

just claims. and intimating that unless the
Dominican government should receive some
assistance from the United States in the
way of regulating its finances, the creditor
governments in Europe would be forced to
resort to more effective measures Of COM
pulsion to secure the satisfaction of their
claims.
If the United States government declines
to take action and other foreign govern
mentS resort to action to secure payment
of their claims the latter would be entitled,
according to the decision of The Hague tri
bunal in the Venezuelan cases, to the pref
erential payment of their claims; and this
would absorb all the Dominican revenues,
and would be virtual sacrifice of Ameri-
can claims and interests in the island. IT,
moreover, any such action should be taken
by them, the only method to enable them
to secure payment Of their claims would
be to take possession of the custom houses,
and considering the state of the Dominican
finances, this would mean a definite and
very possibly permanent occupation of Do
minican territory. for no period could be
set to the time which would be necessarily
required for the payment of their obliga-
ton and unliquidated claims. The United
States government could not interfere to
prevent such seizure and occupation Of
Dominican territory without either itself

MORE FERROUS THAN WAR
Railway Mail Service Has Greater List of Fatalities Than United
 States Army.

Probably few Americans realize that the man in the United States railway mail service is far more likely to lose his life than the soldier in Uncle Sans resu- lar army. Cold figures which have ap- peared in two ofhcial reports of the gov ernment prove absolutely that he Is. Within the year ending June 3V last only 24 of Uncle Sam's soldiers, in all he s5 5,00O on regular or detached duty, were killed in action. Twenty one men were killed on duty in the railway mall service during that time. There were only four additional soldiers wounded SO severely that they died or were obliged to leave the service On account of these youudN In the railway mail service 90 men were seriously hurt while on duty, besides the 21 men killed. To make the showing still more surprising, 37s mail clerks were injured more or Itss severely. If one compares the strength of the corps of few thousand clerks with the 65.00O men in the regu- lar army we will find that the percentage of fatalities in railway mail service Is much higher than that in active army duty. It is probable, too. that disease takes of a greater number of railway clerks in proportion than it does sol dier.. This includes the army in inc Philippines. where there is always u1ore or less trouble. It does not inciude the three army officers killed. but they would still not change the fact that mail clerk service is more dangerous than active life as a soldier of Uncle sam. II
