Yellow Fever's Terror Gone.

New York, July 16 Albert God
chaux, president OF the New Orleans
Progressive union, Is staying at the
Wsldori.Astoris. He spoke enthu-
sivstically OF what is being done In

Of discriminating yellow fever.
"Ths best thing that has been &C
complishsd," said Mr.. GodshsuI, us
the taking away the fear from the
people. They no longer fear yellow
ieaver as they did. This has been
accomplished by educating them
hygienically. The yellow fever scare
has done sgreat deal Tor New Orleans
In the way OF sanitation. Yellow
fever is not caused by uncleapliness,
but the fact that many people
thought so has helped to make New
Orleans a much cleaner place than II
was."
