Place of Danger.

The danger of a certificate of immunity is manifest. Very often cases supposed to be yellow fever are not, yet on the supposition a man gets certificate ana IS allowed to come in. A few days ago Dr. Sanders was called to New Orleans to ln- vestigate suspicious case. Several doc- tors who had had experience with yellow fever insisted that he had the disease. The man died and an autopsy developed that he did not have yellow fever, every doctor who saw him agreeing that he had not.
 pr. Sanders is very optimistic about the outlook for this summer He has been lately to New Orleans and all down the southern coast. and has found that there is no menace to health in any part of 1t. Everything Is clean and the doctors have all obligated themselves to not only look we'll to the common health, but to report at once any cases of suspicious illness.

quickly backed down TO II to 3 at post time.
The news that he had worked well for the race
seemed to be common property. In spite Of the
fact that he had 129 pounds up, that the dis
tance was a furlong further than he usually
cares to go, and that he was meeting horses of
class, some of which had been seasoned by act
ual racing, the rank and file wagered their
money with confidence, satisfied that the big
sprinter would at least give them a good run

The others ranged in price from to l against
Bohemia to 100 to 1 Hermitage. Southern Cross
had a following by those who recalled his defeat
of Rapid Water at New Orleans, and almost
every horse in the race had some friend willing
to take chance even against the mighty Rose
hen.
Down in the paddock, where the toilet OF the
horses is made. were those vitality interested in
each particular candidate, or those hoping to
catch the word of some trainer or owner which
might be construed as a stable tip inside in
formation. It was a peculiarly quiet and bus-
nesslike place as compared with the seething
and crowded ring. Every trainer had done his
full and complete duty in preparing his charge
for the bruising struggle. and there was only
time then for the final touches such as tighten
ing the girths and giving last instructions to the
jockeys. He ought to go well,' "On his work
he's good enough TO win," "She has done all

of the expressions heard as each horse was care

Jockeys who met with official displeasure last

Baird caused some little surprise. as his name
had been overlooked among the Jockeys granted
licenses recently. His license revoked at
Saratoga last year after being left at the post
with Sidney Paget's Woodsaw. He showed that
he had lost none of his skill, although he was
somewhat unfortunate, he rode the second

DEATH OF PAST DEPARTMENT COM.
MANDER

There is deep sorrow in Rhode Island
over the death of Past Department
Commander David S. Ray, one of tho
best-known and most public-spiritcd
men of the State. He was born in
Rhode Island in 1910, and was engaged
in carriage building when he enlisted in
Troop c, LIST r. I. Cav. He was present
i'll every fight in which his troop en-,
gagged, and toward the close of his SER
vice was with Sheridan in the Shenan-
6oah campaign. He was mustered on,
as q Sergeant. Upon his
return home he went into business in
Providence, and was also solicited to
take a part In politics. He was Stale
Senator in 1880, but declined renomi-
nation, tho he afterwards re-entered the
Legislature as q Representative In 1884
he was elected Treasurer of East Proyi-
dence, and continued in that position
until his death. He took an active In
terest in the militia, served in the
Rhode Island National Guard as a First
Lieutenant and Captain, and was among
the earliest promoters of the G. A. r.
He became a member of Prescott Post
in 1869. and then was the first Com.
mander of Bucklin Post. In 1892 he
was unanimously elected Commander
o: the Department of Rhode Island, G..
A. r. He was also prominent in Ma
sonry and in business mems associa-
tions. Every person in the State knew
and respected him, and his death is felt
to be an unusual loss.

REVOCATION OF THE SPELLING
ORDER

The Presidents prompt revocation of
his spelling order is as unexpected as It
is humiliating The Chief of a great
Nation like ours should not take any
important step without the most thoroI
consideration of all the consequences,
and when he has taken that step he
should abide by it unless totally unfore-
seen consequences develop. TO do 9TH
erwise. TO exhibit the vaciilation which
the President has lately shown in many
things. is not only discreditable to him,
but injurious to the character of the
Nation of which he is the head and
representative. IT also tends to cheaper
our Government in the eyes of our own
citizens. The President has lately
backed down on entirely 900 many i'm
portant things to be agreeable 10 any
one who has pride in our country and
its form of Government. He is doing
entirely too much to convince people
that he is acting upon sudden impulses
and not upon wcll-considcrcd conclu-
sions In the matter OF spelling re-
form. for example. there has nothing
developt that he had not every reason
to anticipate when he issued the order
He must have known, if he had looked
into the question at all. that he would
meet with all the oid-time, weil-worn
gibcs and jests, and that every man
who had learned to spell little bit
would be desperately opposed to any
change that seemed TO involve mental
labor. The President issued the order
with his customary dash and apparent
regardIcssncss of consequences, and has
revoked it at the first real sym ptom o.
opposition. The action of Congress af-
fords no reason whatever for the re-
vocation. The indictments who framed
the provision knew little and cared little
about spelling reform. They were only
frctful about the Presidents course gen.
orally. and took that as an opportunity
to scold him. In this instance he has
eakoned at conspicuously the wrong
time, much to the regret of ali pro-
gressive men. He gave the best rea-
sons for rhe spelling reform when he
issued his order, and these reasons exist
in the fullest force yet. Nothing has
been shown to in any sense weaken the
force of those reasons, and consequently
the President makes a reflection upon
himself and his understanding when he
abandons the cause.
