vARDAMAN AND BLANCHARD
The Governors of Mississippi and
Louisiana Have a Few Remarks
to Make Anent the Discovery
of Yellow Fever in New
Orleans

The following statement was given
out by Governor Blanchard, of Louis
lana last week
The Governor of Mississippi in an
address isued to the people of that
State on the afternoon of the Goth,
relative to the existence of yellow fe-
yer in New Orleans, used the follow
ing language.
THE usual DISSEMINATION and eva
sion were practiced by the health au-
thorities of New Orleans and the
State of Louisiana, but finally an adj
mission was extorted that yellow fe-
yer existed there.
This is serious reflection upon
the State of Louisiana and the city OF
New Orleans, and upon officials as
high minded as the Governor OF Ms
sissippi himself, and should not have
been made without reliable informa-
ton and data upon which to base it.
If the Governor OF Mississippi; has
such information call upon him to
make ii public.
Il am informed by President Sou
cIon, OF the State Board ii Health
and President kollnke, OF the City
Board OF health, that the charge o.
Discrimination and EVASION made by
| the Governor of Mississippi IS IN.

Printers Not so Bad as Painted

A printing office, says a writer,
is usually considered a rather tough
place and the newspaper worker a
mighty bad man. Statistics, however
do not bear out the idea. OF $500 in
the Texas penitentiary, there is not
a printer or newspaper man, while
there are ministers. lawyers. music
teachers, doctors. bankers, cooks,
photographers, BARRIERS, and members
of other professions and calls. The
printer gets bad name because the
nature OF his business teaches him to
detect sham while he is scorned by
hypocrites.

saying that the Louisiana Board of
Health has acted rather reck1essly
with the health of the people of the
Gulf Coast. Acknowledging now that
there was danger in the health condi-
tlons of New Orleans nearly one
month ago, that Board admits, after
Mobile health authorities have forced
the admission, that the disease is yell
low fever. The long incubation has
given time for the establishment OF
many foci OF the disease in New Or
leans, and it is indeed a wonder thar
some of the sick have not moved to
other places and spread the disease.
F.. There has been no quarantine restric-
ton against such movements until
Friday, and nothing was done in
New Orleans to warn the people on
the outside to be on their guard
against persons sick of the fever. Ii
fever should occur soon at any point
outside the city OF New Orleans, we
shall charge it to the negligence and
bad faith of the Health Board OF New
Orleans and Louisiana.
The bad faith consists in this: The
board was pledged TO keep neighbor-
ing boards informed as to suspicious
eases so that steps for self-protection
could be taken, but it failed to do so.
In fact down to the arrival of the
Mobile health authorities in New Or
leans there was still a pretense that
(, nothing appeared to disturb the seren
ity of the health conditions of the
Crescent City.
| What vii be the result of this in
! the future ? Simply that we should
not be able to trust the louisiana
Board. 1t may say that there is good
health but it will not be believed un-
less there is proof of the truth; we
shall always be suspicious of New Oh
leans in summer because we cannot
/ tell when it is healthy and when it i:
! not We shall suspect that there i:
politics in that board and that it,
/ members prefer to try to hide the
facts for the benefit OF New Orlean
than to obey the recognized rule o
of disclosing them for the benefit 0
the people of all this Southern couu
try"

CRUELTY OF WOMEN.
Through Their Craze for Hideous Adornment
Birds Are Becoming Extinct.
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: At a dinner recently given a well known hui
manitarian made attack upon woman, the ac-
cusation being that she is pitiless and cruel.
Doubtless each present was congratuIattng
herself on her own tender hearted sympathies.
The following statements will throw light on the
question, referring they DO to her thoughtiess
desire for adornment.
So great is the destruction of bird life at her
demand that at one of the recent feather sales in
London one firm offered 1900 ounces of osprey
pIumes-a full grown aigrette yielding one-sixth
OF an ounce The aigrette. as is we'll known. is
the bridal adornment Of the heron at Its nesting
season, and the death of the bird means the death
by starvation of those In the nest.
Well might Canon Rawnsley say in Croswaithe
Church one Sunday: 'It is g. travesty of religion
and a mockery for women decked with aigrettes,
TO sing in the Benedicite, o. all We fowls Of the
air. praise Him and magnify Him forever"
One consignment in London sales alone gives
the following figures; Osprey plunes Il 600 ounces
birds Of paradise, 1900 bundles; Indian parrots,
100000 bundles; tanagers and other birds, $500
bundles; humrnng birds. 10000 bundles. ETC.
The smaller gulls and sea swallows shot
for their wings and the fowlers in their haste do
not stop to kill any wounded birds; they merely
wrench off the wings and throw the birds back into
the water to die in agony. Think OF 1t, tender
being torn asunder," says an eyewitness 'they cry
an and 4 scream ike child" To quote from the leader
cruel woman, that for the sake OF passing
disgust all who can think and feel and understand
she brings dishonor upon her sex and robs nature
Everywhere I Journey the woods are voiceless
and deserted. Only an occasional strain reminds
woman,'s ruthless hand and pitiless heart should
descend q destroyer TO denude woods and forests
of their charming feathered Inhabitants
This season the sickening craze for wings and
birds renews itself. Let me entreat my sister to
