FIRST ARRIVALS WEDNESDAY

| While the old saying that shell fish are
| poisonous if eaten in the months in
which the letter r is not required in
order to spell it has long since been ex-
! ploded, the oyster has its season. which
| is popularly supposed TO begin with Sep
tember and end with April The fact is
the bivalves are good to eat all the year
around and are on sale in this city from
| one New Year day to the next, but they
are better in cold weather than in warm,
and as the weather begins to get cool in
September the oyster season opens with
| that month.
| If nothing goes wrong the first cargo
| of oysters of the season will arrive at
the oyster wharf, at the foot of 11th
| street. early Wednesday morning next
+, and from that day until the season is
| closed next spring vessels with the BIZ
valves aboard will be coming and going
| almost daily at the wharf oyster mar
ket here. The first jags of oysters to be
brought here will be small in size, and
| will come from oyster beds owned by
| private individuals or firms that plant
and farm them as does the land farmer
his crop of corn or potatoes. The states
| of Maryland and Virginia rent certain
| portions Of the oyster-producing waters
of the two states to persons who cover
the bottoms with shells. and oyster spat
! floating along in the water attach them

good marketable oysters are produced.
But in order to achieve this result the

OUTBREAK OF TYPHOID.
Report Of Medical Inspector o,
Cause Of Disease on Ships.

The Navy Department has received the
report of Medical Inspector John NJ
Edgar. L. S. N, fleet surgeon of the
Atlantic fleet. on the results of the in
vestigation conducted by the medical
officers attached to that command into
the cause of the recent outbreak of ty-
phoid fever on some of the ships. The
existence of the disease was confined
to the men on those ships which had
been in Philadelphia or Norfolk. Recon-
mendationS are made which will cause
greater precaution to be taken during
warm weather while naval ships are at
Norfolk, the restrictions in the matter to
be left to the commander-in-chiefo of the
fleet.
1t is not the intention of the nava,
authorities to do anything to harm Nor
folk or its business. but physicians say
1t remains no less an imperative duty
that every effort be made to prevent the
introduction of typhoid aboard naval
ships.
