The report that there vas one case of yellow fever in New Orleans caused no excitement or apprehension here, even before the denial was received Cit izens Of this city, who have had an ex- perience with the fever realize that 1t can easily be controlled by proper methods, and that these will be applied by the Marine Hospital authorities tf q case should develop at any point dur ins the summer season. It would oc- casion no surprise to hear of few sporadic cases, but II is not believed that yellow fever will ever again be able to gain footnold in any of the Southern ports as experts have made a study of 1t and have adopted meth ods not only of stamping 1t out. but also of preventing any spread what ever. Pensacola is now in the best sanitary condition that 1t has been in for years the city having been busy for months past cleaning up old vacant lots and draining ponds of stagnant water, the breeding place of the mos quito, and fresh water mlnnows by the thousand have been placed in some of the p1l,ds which were too lerge to be drained The force of sanitary inspec- tors was more than doubled when the summer season began and every yard is carefully inspected and not oven an old tin can is allowed to remain, as it might catch rain and breed mosquitoes. It is notable fact that II, many homes 1t is now possible to sleep without bars, while In years before 1t would have been an impossibility on account of the many fnosuuitoes.

Petit,ons Were withdrawn.

The two applications Tor license to operate saloons in the Fifth Ward were not presented Co the meeting of the city council at the meeting of that during the day and the promised fight which was to have taken place did not come up. The cause of the withdraw ing of the applications are said to have been because 1t was found that 1t would be useless for them to present the same to the meeting tonight.
 One of the reasons for the withdraw ing of the petitions was from the fact that there is now flaw on the statute books of the city which says that sa- looms can only be operated within the fire limits or the business part of the city. To overcome this law an amend ment to that ordinance would have to lay over and be passed and adver- tised and if 1t finally passed would be until October 1, before the same would have goi.e into effect. It is very doubt full if such an amendment would have been considered at the meeting to- night and for that reason the two ap- plicatlons were withdrawn.

THE FRENCH NATY.

Some gentlemen may continue to cry peace, peace, but others are not so detl- nite. NJ. Laubeuf, the distinguished chief engineer of the French navy. has discussed the probable attitude of Ger many and France at the coming Peace Conference at The Hague towards the British proposal to restrict naval con- structfon. His views reflect the opin- ion already expressed in other French quarters that, while the English initi- .ative may involve some risk to peace it Is not likely to lead to any practical result. Germany will, he thinks. in all probability not consent, and he argues vigorously in favor of his contention that maintenance of her present rate of construction is a vital question for France. He admits that England can afford to retard her construction, but her example has no force for France, which in face of the attitude of Ger many, cannot enter upon that slippery and dangerous declivty," The delay
 which has already occurred in French naval construction has caused France
 he declares, to decline from the second to the third rank of naval powers-be- How the United States. and on q level
 with Germany. A further reduction
 would place her behind Germany ant
 on level with Japan. Consequently I France, he holds, should keep q fret
 hand at The Hague and firmly defend
 a purely French standpoint; which il
 that after four years inertia th'
 French navy is below it's proper posi-
 ton, and France therefore cannot con
 sent to restrict her naval armaments.

COMPENS.A. TIONS.

A good many people in this region are tired of working for four dollars week with nothing ahead of them but another week. It will perhaps do such tired people little good to pause a minute and contemplate the situation of some of the great and mighty, who get more than four dollars week whether they earn it or not Who would want to be the Czar of all the Russlas? He has just been condemned to death by the Terrorists, and as he well knows that they have ways of executing their death sentences he cannot be feeling livery comfortable. The arrangements made for the protection of the Presl- dent of France during his visit to Mar seilles indicate how he has to be re- minded of very unpleasant things The French authorities assembled 12,- 900 soldiers, 2,00O police, nearly all the detective force of France, as well as detectives from Italy, Great Britain, 1 Germany and other nations, whose work is particularly to watch these murderers. Tn Italy the terror of as Isassination has progressed 90 far that certain trusted employees in the house. hold of the King, including barbers ant others, have been dismissed.
 l And so forth and so on. A humble
 citizen of the United States seems to b'
 about as well off nowadays as anybody
 with his great and growing per capiti
 and his glorious privilege of voting fol the men who have picked themselve
 out or have been picked out for hi

1 know pasture land far from here. Where the grass grows rank in the fallow sod. And path that leads to the water near, That for many a summer the cattle

 To dream the long afternoon

 Of the nodding plunes, and lie goes
 his way With an added gold on his golden vest; And the humming bird flashes from
 spray to spray,
 And the grasshoppcrs leap from be-
 fore your path, And the crickets chirp from the att ermath, And the whole world drowses at peace An, that's where my lazy feet long to stray But never again can my tired eyes see The wealth of the goldenrod strewn about; That quiet pasture is not for ms, Nor the idle fields in the time oi q qatn fate 1ntoward! 6 cruel blow! never can touch what I long fol Where goldenrod blooms I can never be | For 1t spreads the hay tever tha'

Cotton has long been king, and there is m sign that it is going to be soon denosed. But corn is growing in power and influence, and is creeping into King cotton's dominion. This year Kentucky leads with a percentage of 100 in corn. Ohio comes rext in rank, with a per- centage of 99, with Arkansas. 97; Ten nessee, 97; Mississpp, 92; Georgia, 91; Virginia 91. Among the leaders in the northern States Ohio is first, of course, with 99; Pennsylvania, 95; Indiana, 30; Illinois, S8; Iowa, s5, and Michigan, s3.
 The ten-year average given by the Department of Agriculture shows Vir- ginfa the highest, at S9; Alabama, S5; Georgia's average being S4, Tennessee Sl and Kentuckys S4, On the other hand the northern corn-growing States have the following averages: Illinois, 85; Ohio, S5; Indiana, SS; Iowa, SS; Michigan, S4; Nebraska, Sl, and Kan sas, 70.

 Socrates attended a fair at Athens. closely examined all the articles on ex- hibition, remarked "How many things there are here that I do not need!' bought a small box of friction matches, and then serenely took his departure; but immediately saw that the purchase had seriously cut into his last nickel and burst out with the exclamation "Gosh all hemlock!'

 Tired with the tramp, he re- solved to get his illustrious pupils to

MERIT IN IT.

Who would have thought that staid, serene, classic Boston would advertise itself-advertise it's beauties, it's health fitness, it's historic places, it's famous places, and, most of all, it's advantages which should tempt manufacturing concerns to locate and do business there? But such Is the fact. The Hub of the Universe" is resorting to adver- tising in order to boom Boston. 1t has decided that Boston cannot live upon its past, or rather that it cannot grow as it should by doing nothing to help it grow. They have decided that they want a bigger, better, busier Boston" And as q means of securing this the mayor has utilized part of the $5O,OOO voted by the common council to organ ize a bureau of publicity, and has quite naturally put an experienced newspaper man at its head. As the work is out lined in the news, lin addition to ad- vertising, through illustrated booklets and other mediums, Boston's manifold distractions as a tourist center, and en- deavoring to secure as many conven- tions for the city us possible, an active effort will be made to attract manufac- | .--,...- s,..1,,,+r{o-u Tho rro17 ottor of the commerce of the port through the addition of new steamship lines and the | establishing of an annual merchants week" 10 extend trade are among the
 practical schemes proposed. And speak ing of all this new departure implies, the Boston Herald most truly says that 'it is as true of city as of business that advertising pays, provided the thing advertised is what it is represent ed as being, and the medium wisely
 chosen. The newspapers of Boston, in
 reflecting it's business activities and re-
 porting its progress in all directions give to the city an advertisement which
 no bureau can ever begin to rival
 though it may in special lines supple l ment it in helpful manner"
 Good words. well spoken. Even stai( old New Haven, almost as old as Bos
 ton, and almost as prim, the seat als'
 of much knowledge and likewise wis
 dom, has seen fit, through it's Chambe
 of Commerce, to have spasms of ap
 preciation of the value of advertisini
 the great advantages of our city as manufacturing center, and not withou some results. Lively, wide-awake push : ing Bridgeport, that has forged to tn
 front at an amazing pace in the las thirty years, appreciates the value 0
 advertising and avails itself of it eve more than most cities of its size, an Hartford is in line, too, to a smalle extent. And be it remembered that ad ,, vertising in the newspapers pays bes of all.
