NUMBER 5S


Reports from New Orleans dur
ing the past week show that the
mum ber of yellow fever cases in
that city is growing smaller each
day and increasing confidence IS
felt by the physicians in charge
that the plague will be stamped
out before frost.
News from infected places in
Mississippi is not so encouraging.
Suspicious cases are reported at
Scranton. This a newly infected
place. The disease seems TO be
especially virulent at Vicksburg,
eleven deaths being reported from
that place. Natchez comes hext
in the unfortunate list, four deaths
having occurred there. These
two cities are the only ones in
Mississippi where the fever has
proven fatal.

INTERESTING COMPARISON
OF YELLOW FEVER RECORD

in jackson during the fever oil
1898. 1t came into life to take
the place of the daily papers Of
that city which were forced to
suspend publication as a result OF
the fever outbreak in the state
and it gave the yellow fever news
from all over the state.
The bulletin is at least interest
ing at this date and it affords an
interesting comparison of the
spread, fatality and record of the
epidemic of 1898 with the out.
break of this year. A curious
feature of the paper is that it is
punched full of little holes which
were used to fumigate the publ
cation, the fumes being in search
OF yellow fever germs which we're
supposed to Turk therein. From
one end of the paper to the other
there is not d word about the
mosquito, yet the reports from
all communities indicated that the
stegomyia was getting in its work
for the fever was reported rapid
ly spreading.
The most interesting article in
the Bulletin is the comparison of
the epidemic of 1898 with that of
former years. This issue is dated
October II, 1899, and this article
is AS follows:

weights were not in action, and every
gong found them lighting. Hanlon forced
the pace and made It a terrific one from
the very start and never for an Instant
gave ground To great extent he gave
up his crouch and stood up and boxed
with Herman. At this style OF fighting
he was at disadvantage as Herman was
far the moro clever OF the two. and his
blows were nearly all clean and we'll
timed. II may be said that Herman won
the fight with one hand, as he did all
his work after the twelfth round with
his right. using his left only to make an
opening He punished IIanlon severely
about the body with ripping right hand
blows on the ribs and under the heart,
and at close range uppercut Hanlon re-

would happen II one motor started at
the rate OF six and the other at the rate
of 30 miles an hour he became diffident
and declined TO discuss the subject.
