change in his condition Wednesday
speedily eliminated in the death of
Archbishop p. l.. Chapelle, OF the dio-
cese of Louisiana. The end came
Wednesday afternoon. The news of
tile archbishop's death created pro.
found shock. Mgr. Chapelle was takea
i'll on Friday. He had returned to
the city three days before having Just
completed tour of Louisiana, and an
nounced on his arrival his intention of
cooperating in the efforts then in full
swing TO stamp out the fever. The
archbishop, however. left his house
only on one occasion before he was
taken sick. That was to take drive
with his niece. On Friday he COM
planned OF the symptoms which are
the forerunner of yellow fever. DR..
Larue. the archbishop's physician, was
Immediately called On Friday he
diagnosed the case as a genuine attack
OF yellow fever. From the first DR..
Larue was apprehensive as to the re-
suits of the attack owing to the ply
sique of his patient. Archbishop Cha
pelle was very stout of build full
blooded and past GO years of age, and
the fever is always alarming in pa
tient under those conditions. The best
available medical and nursing talent
was pressed into service, the apart
ments were screened and every effort
made to conduct a successful scientific
fight, The disease, however, made
steady inroads upon the venerable pa
tient, and Tuesday he was found to be
in serious condition. When Dr. La
rue saw him early Wednesday there
was no Improvement, but on the con-
trary, he showed signs of increasing
weakness. Before noon there was an
alarming change for the worse in his
condition. Then news of his death
came.
May Need Militia.
II the chaotic condition of the quar-
antine matters in Louisiana is not
speedily terminated IN obedience to a
! proclamation issued, the state board
of health has announced it's intention
| OF Immediately invoking the civil pow
ers and. that failing. of asking Gov.
Blanchard to call out the militia and
restore and maintain order. The proc
lamation resulted from the letters sent
| Monday by the governor to President
Souchon. The proclamation prohibits
any town. parish or village from refus-
Ing admission to person from nom
infected locality holding health GER
tificate not over "a hours old, or to a
person from an infected locality who

Sixty New Cases Reported.
The report of GO new cases of yell
low fever in New Orleans shows how
| complete the infection is in the dis
trict below Canal street. very few af-
flicted being found outside of this To-
sality. where the disease was first dis
covered, and shows only too plainly
the helculean task which the federal
authorities have for them in their
efforts to stamp out the pest. The
hope has been expressed that un-
der favorable conditions the middle of
September would bring the announce
ment that no more cases existed in
New Orleans. but the developments of
Tuesday and Wednesday show that if
this task be accomplished by this time
1t will add Il new wonder TO the world
OF science and confirm beyond doubt
the theory of the stceomyia. The hid
ing out of cases by ignorant Italians
who fear the health officers. is one of
the most serious problems the physi-
clans have to contend with, but ii is
hoped to soon eradicate this annoying
feature by the process Of "fine comb
ing" which has continued now for
several weeks. 1t is noticed that
American and French names are be-
ginning to appear in the list of those
stricken. The weather in New Or
leans Wednesday was cloudy and
