rage in Manila After Preventing
Harm to Hostess Baby.

of Senator Fred I. Dubois of Idaho,
who with the senator is member of
Secretary Taft's party, was thrown from

Mrs. Stafford, prominent American resi-
dents of Manila, and the accident took
place while she was driving with the /

Smith, cattlemen of Lovelock
The volcano is located in Rye Patch,
Humboldt county. Although that sec

crater has just been found for the first
time. The men were in search of cat

and tracing it to it's source, located the

DEATH RATE LOW
IN STRICKEN CITY.
AVERAGE OF FIVE FATAL YELLOW
FEVER CASES A DAY IN
NEW ORLEANS.
Doctors Laugh at Latest Plan to Prevent
Disease, but It Will Be
Tried.
YELLOW FEVER REPORT.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 14.-With
nearly one-half of August gone and with
total deaths since July Is. one month,
of only 154, an average Of FIVE a day,
the Marine hospital service today begins
the second week of their fight against
yellow fever here.
There was a crop of cases on Sunday,
as is usual because Sunday inspection
is not so rigid as that on week days, but
DR.. White had his inspectors out early
today in each of the wards, and it will
not be surprising if today's list shows
some advance over that of the preceding
twenty-four hours.
Suppression of Cases.
In spite of all the appeals that have
been made by the press and the federal
authorities, there is still suppression Of
cases. One instance is that of a daugh-
ter of a well known lawyer She is
said to have had a typical case and to
have been treated by druggist. The
case was discovered by a doctor, who
says her case is hopeless. The cOnse-
quence is that steps are to be taken to
compel druggists to make report OF all
such cases of illness that come under
their observation.
Some friction has existed between doe
tors and the authorities growing out OF
the resentment on the part of the
former to the visit of inspectors to patti
ents whom the doctors have reported.
DR.. White, however, has taken steps TO
remove this trouble. declaring that the
federal authorities will interfere IN no
way with physicians who make known
cases of illness in their practice.
To Test Arsenic Theory.
DR.. Leach, who came here from Min
nesota with the arSeniZation theory, is
making attempts to have the test indie
pendent OF the doctors. The Orleans
Medical society has declared the use Of
arsenic as unsound in theory and I'M
feeling here that DR.. Leach ought to
have an opportunity to make his expert
mentS.
In this connection all sorts of theories
are coming here concerning the treat
ment of yellow fever and the city has
been flooded with prescriptions that are
guaranteed to be sure cures.
Lumber Business Unframed.
Reports from lumber mill men
throughout this section say that the
fever has made little impression on their
business though some of the mills close
to New Orleans have suffered from the
arbitrary regulations of towns here and
there against the shipment OF freight
of any kind. The Southern Cypress as
ISOLATION has taken up the matter with
DR.. White and the doctor has written
letter in which he expresses the opinion
that it is almost an impossibility tor
lumber shipments to carry the Infection
However, all cars of lumber leaving here
are now being disinfected with sulphur
and assurance is given that none of them
is carrying away mosquitoes

New Orleans, La, Aug. 12.-1n spite
Of the large number of cases of fever
reported during the past three or four
days, hope continues to run high here.
1t is due to the fact that there are
practically evidences that the crusade
against the mosquito is telling.
Situation Under Control.
More than two weeks have now
elapsed since a death has occurred above
Canal street, and there has been no re-
appearance of the fever where those
cases existed, nor in the Immediate
neighbOrhood.
That is taken to indicate the effective
ness Of screening and disinfection Which
in the one instance has prevented stego-
myia from biting patients within the
first three days of illness and in the
other has worked the destruction of all
mosquitoes in the infected houses and
neighbOrhoodS.
Plague Fighter Ill.
The yellow fever epidemic has begun
to decimate the ranks of the plague fight
ers. An unexpected blow was struck AT
the marine hospital staff when one Of the
men sent here to assist in the battle
against the disease, was himself stricken.
The victim is Surgeon O.. NJ. Berry, who
is a Texan by nativity, but lately has
been stationed in New York.
He was one of the first to reach New
Orleans, and because he has been
through the Cuban campaign and had
had the fever in Texas, he was consid-
cred to be immune and was put in charge
of the work III the originally infected
area, where the fever has ragged most
fercely. He has been doing yeoman
service in the matter of disinfection.
Famous Chief III.
NJ. Begue, owner of the famous Begue
cafe one of the best known resorts for
tourists in the south, was attacked by
the fever causing CONSERVATION among
those who recently have visited the place.

No New Deaths or Cases Above Canal

Successful.
NOON YELLOW FEVER REPORT.

Although there was no change in the
general fever situation at New Orleans
today the noon reports showed a slight
increase over same hours yesterday in
the number Of new cases and deaths.
August is a critical month when the
fever appears early in the summer, yet
the small death rate the past week is re-
garded as justifying a recent interview
by DR.. John Guiteras of the marine hos
pital service, that the present visitation
will not reach the proportions Of any
previous epidemic. The fever continues
to be confined to New Orleans and Louis
lana. no cases being reported in Alabama
or Mississippi.
There has been a slight lessening of
quarantine restrictions as regards freight
and the running of trains in Louisiana,
but the detentions of passengers institu-
ted by the various localities continues in
force,

SEAL HARBoR, Feb. rs, 1905,

SEAL HARBoR, Feb. rs, 1905.
To the Editor of The american:
have read several articles In different
daily and weekly papers recently In regard
to management of town affairs In the
town of Mt. Desert, and as my ability or
reputation was questioned by one OF these
correspondents, / wish, through the col
umns OF your valuable paper, to present
the facts In this case.
am candidate for first selectman be-
cause after sitting on tbe board OF asses
sors for two years was defeated by the
influence OF some OF the influential tax
payers after raising up a d leveling OFF
the values of Mt. Desert $685., 600, thereby
yielding this town $11,s96 yearly more
than 1t formerly did ON a s17 per 81 900
rate.
Now we move on to the work done by
the present board of selectmen or assess-
ors, and we fud that they have substan-
TALLY taken the work done by myself and
the other members as a basis from which
to make up their work this year, and
more than this, they go one step farther
and raise the valuation $50, 1000 more.
OF course / am we'll aware that my
opponents are going to say that not all of
this s69S, 900 is the work of my associates
In these two years, but that part OF 1t
represents new cottages constructed. But
the bulk OF the above sum was increase In
very valuable land that has been held and
Is being held for very large price In the
future.
This class OF property holders Is In
some cases detriment to our town and
retards its growth and progress, for the
facts are that the growth, prosperity and
progress OF this town have suffered by
native property holders holding their
land far above the true worth of such
property, and turning prospective buyers
to Islesford and Sutton.
There Is land enough and to spare.
What we want Is to have land d-owuers
who want to hold their property for the
future willing to pay just tax, and not
complain that they are being robbed
where they are only paying their just
part. Very respectfully,
F. H. MAcoMBER.

Life Insurance as a Profession.

The business OF life underwritinu,
which has risen In this country to such
enormous proportions, is now SO generally
recognized as profession that several Of
the leading American colleges have e.
tablished regular courses OF instructions
In the principles and practice OF Iife
insurance. Among them may be mem
toned Yale, the university OF Chicago
and the university Of Michigan at Ann
Arbor.
The first.company to estab blish school
for instruction was the Equitable; it has
for the last two years had a special course
during the month of July at the homo
office, New York.
1t was started at first as an experiment,
and 1t has proven most successful, many
OF its class members having important
positions with the society's various
agencies.
The Maine agency has decided to estab-
lish similar course in Portland for the
young men OF Maine who may care to
avail themselves of the opportunity OF
being educated for the work. This
school will open at a. m. March 15.
