Yellow Jack a Traveller.

Cable dispatches from Havana are
to the effect that the cases of yellow
fever there discovered were brought
there from New Orleans. making the
journey in the packings of certain
electrical apparatus shipped to the
Cuban city. The adoption of this
hypothesis suggests inevitably that
all that is to be learned about the
mosquito theory of yellow fever in
fection has not yet been acquired.
When the disease was raging in
New Orleans and towns in the New
Orleans business territory were de-
claring quarantine against shipments
OF freight from that city, a formal
statement was issued by DR.. White
in charge of the fight for the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service.
DR.. White declared solemnly that the
infection could not be conveyed
through shipments OF goods and ad-
monished the somewhat hystericaI
townspeople that their fears were
groundless and foolish. The proeia-
nation announced, it is true, that all
freight cars leaving New Orleans
were being fumigated. but this was
obviously a concession to prejudice
and not demanded by the actual need.
The proclamation made this clea~.
OF course, the idea was that the
mosquito. being the only source of
infection and the mosquito finding
it impossible TO exist on plows
garden hose and plug tobacco, no
danger was to be apprehended from
the Introduction of articles of this
character.
That is as it may be. The fact
seems to be that Yellow Jack made
the trip to Havana curIed up within
bale of electrical appliances and
emerged after the voyage sufficiently
well and strong to get Immediately
70 work. The fact IS interesting. and
worthy of consideration when the
final word on the whole subject is
next written.

mental Trust Company. who presided
over the sessions of the interstate
commerce law convention. recently
held in Chicago. arrived in the city
from st. Louis. Colonel Hughes was
unable TO continue his journey to

but sent 10 President Roosevelt and
20 the executive committee of the
interstate commerce law association
the following suggestion:
Il have but one suggestion to make
that we ask an addition to existing
laws giving power to the interstate
commerce commission, when rate
has been challenged and, after full
hearing, found by the commission I'M
reasonable, unjust or discriminative,
that this rate be by the committee at
once suspended, and the railroad re-
quired under the full penalties of the
act to within ten days substitute an
other rate. TO be first approved by the
commission. This leaves the rate
making powers with the railroads,
gives us all we ask for and. in my
opinion, meets FULLY all constitutional
and legal objections raised"

For many years she taught school. and
during her career as teacher she pc
came known as woman OF an aleft
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with a wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any com binatlon
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
so beautifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses of the body,
in the roots and herbs of the field
and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
