WILL STOP GUARANTEEING.

New Orleans, April 1.-The action of the Mississippi legislature in de clining to vote an emergency appro- priation for the State Board of Health. is in the opinion of those who watch events, a significant in aication of a healthy state of affairs for it means that Mississippi has de termined that quarantines (for which the fund was desired) are not the ef fectiye preyontives of yellow fever, but that the destruction of the mos quito is the solution of the problem The bold stand taken by Dr. J. H. White of the United States Marine Hospital corps, in declaring that all cases of fever shall be reported Wherever they occur has done much tc allay the apprehension of neigh boring states as to the possible con cealment of cases.

AERONAUT FALLS 25o FEET.
Framework of AeropIane Breaks High Up In Ar-May Not Survive.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 177.- Crashing for more than 200 feet through the air, with the huge wings of the aeroplane folded over and hold ing him in his position, Israel Lud- low, the young New York attorney and aerOnaut, today so badly injured his spine that his life is despaired of. The two lower vertebrae have been pushed out of adjustment and Lud low is paralyZed below the waist. He is cool and collected, and has direct ed the preparation for caring for him on his arrival in New York. Chas. Hamilton, the aeronaut, who made the ascension Monday, is travelling with Ludlow. and Ludlow's mother has been telegraphed to meet the party in Richmond, though physici- ans here are extremely doubtful whether the injured man can survive the trip for that distance
 Two large white steamers, driven by drivers participating in the auto mobile tournament here, had the kite ill tow. the aefoplane being construct ed so that il had twice the lifting power of the one used by Hamilton. 4 strong wind lifted the kite easily, and in an instant. as though hurled from catapult. it was lifted to leiQht of full 250 feet. Then the hundreds of spectators on the beach heard the crash of the bamboo that told the story of the broken frame work An instant later, mortified, they saw the front half of the kite lift. bend backward and fasten i-Na- low in his seat, cutting off any hope he had of climbing over the support to save himself. The kite, shoIn of it's lifting power. shot downward like rock. Ludlowu landed on the hard beach, striking squarely on the base 0. his spine, and then the upper DOT ton of the aeroplane crashed down over the head of the helpless man. He was lifted cut and carried to the Hotel Continental Ludlow was at once placed on cot and taken to a train, and the journey nofthWard, where the skill of specialists could be secured, was begun.
 The injured man discusses the ac- cident freely, and keeps repeating: 'Tm so glad that no one was in it with me"
