Travellers From North
Want Bills of Health

The yellow fever situation In the South
has led 10 lots of trouble for the Health
Office Of the District Of Columbia. Many
travellers from the North forgot to bring
certificates. They stop over in Wash
ington long enough to get Health Officer
Woodwards certificate as to their
healthy condition.
Since the fever broke out III New Or
leans. Dr. Woodward's office has been
visited by persons travelling from the
North. who ask for health certificates.
Many Of them come into the office with
satcheIs in their hands. showing that
they have just stepped from the train
Without the slightest hesitation they
ask DR. Woodward TO certify 10 their
good health when he knows absolutely
nothing about them
The practice, became so general that
Dr., Woodward two OF three days ago
addressed circular letter to the vuri ous
railroads coming into Washington from
the North and West requesting them
to place notices in their cars warning
travellers that they will have 10 supply
Themselves with health certificates at
their homes.

Successful Balloon Ascension at River
View-WiI Be Repeated on
Saturday.

A successful balloon ascension two
thousand feet into the air and the aero
nuts return to earth via parachute
was watched by 1900 Alexandrians
yesterday afternoon at River View.
The balloon had been suspended be-
tween high poles, an da big fire built
under it. As the flames were fed with
gasolene, the gas generated filled the
big bag until it lowered sixty feet high
and was thirty feet wide in it's largest
part.
The aeronaut took his place in the
ring. When n ewas ready he cried,
Let GO"
The balloon darted upward toward
the loW-lying clouds Higher il went
as the upper strata of air carried 1t
toward Fort Washington. When the
aeronaut was but a tiny speck against
the clouds, the parachute was cut loose

OF the public, from royalty through the

Philadelphia. urged the society 10 hold
winter exhibitions, and 10 do everything

affiliated with the national society
The matter of sufficient money with
which TO conduct such exhibitions IS
apparently the main stumbling in the
way OF this project and by way of start

Hammond, Of Fishkill on the Hudson,
offered a subscription of $50. for the first
exhibit and an additional 500 toward
covering 4 deficit should one accrue.

Major Taggart's attorneys won a point
this afternoon when they were allowed
b. Judge Eason to examine the letters
which TaggaTt admitted having written
to his wife while in the hospital, but
which he says were written under du-
ress.
The defendants attorneys made a
stubborn fight TO keep the majors at
tCrneys from seeing the letters in their
entirety, but Judge Eas0n ruled that all
letters from which extracts had been
read might he examined.
One of the extracts Attorney Smyser
had read from a letter which Taggart
said was in handwriting like his own.
Was as follows. according 10 the reader:
