The railroads, anticipating the rush, had mado every Preparation to convoy all comers to the Mecca of modern pilgrims, and from a radius of several hundred miles the towns, hamlets and villages literally poured their population into Pittsburg. There oould not have been a moro beautiful day for a parade of Knights t he , flr . st fonclavo, held in 1810 at New lork city, and oven tho most confirmed pessimist could not find fault with this ideal day. The hour of the parado was set for 10 o clock a. m. and from early dawn everybody and everything was astir at the various headquartors of the different commundarios preparing for the march. In the yards of the railroad depots and the hotels all was life and bustle and crease in the fever list is likely to be continued until cold weather sets in, and this is thought still to be at least three weeks off in tho region most affected. Tho dispatchos received here report the total number of cases in Mis- slssippi up to date to bo 470, with deaths since tho epidemic brake out. Yellow fever was reported to have ocourred at Lake Charles, La., in a dis patch from Dr. Edmond Bhushau of Now Orleans. At Franklin, La., there ar t> Ilew oa,e, aud no deaths.

FEVER HAMPERS RAILWAYS Stringent Yellow Jack Quarantine Ties Up Many ltoads. New Orleans, Oct. 11.-It Is esti mated that the Illinois Central railroad is losing $15,000 a day on its southern business as a result of the stringent yel- low fever quarantine. It has completely tied up the Yazoo and Mississippi Val- ey division aud has badly hampored all traffic on the main line, taking off all tho passenger trains except the double through vestibule service. Other railroads running into New Or leans are hampered in much the same way. Every line to get trains in am out of the city at all is ocmpelled to lav i of men take tho trains out a short dis tance, whero other crews that have not been exposed to infection take them ud and carry them on. The great Southern Pacific system oannot take a passenger out of New Orleans, either to local points or to Cal ifornia citios, as the state of Texas will not allow passengers from this city to even pass through that state. The Louisville and Nashville has only one through passenger train a day it und out of the city, wheroas it formerly ran ten. ' The through train for Cincinnati and New York on the Queen und Orescent gets out every ovening, but tho oars lock d 0U ^ -Alabama aud Mississippi Passenger coaches on all the roads are looked tight after loaviug tho New Or leans depot until they get through the ppi, part* of ag a crew short grand book, and ladies and gentlemen who oan give all or any part of their time to canvass are bound to make immense sums of money handling it.

The head of the panuio formed at the Corner of Cedar aud North avenues, Al legheny City, and at l):80 o’clock Brig adier General J. P. S. Gobiu, tho grand marshal of tho parade, with his staff of mounted lieutenants and aids, left his headquarters at the Monongahela, and, accompanied by the strains of Sousa’s march, "The Stars nnd Stripes For ever,” made his way down Fourth aveuue ( Pittsburg, ncross tho suspension bridge into Allegheny City. Promptly at 10 o’clock General Gobin gavo the word and the parade moved. The parado passed off very success fully except that, at the time half the luarchors had gone by a given point, it began to ram in short, but sharp showers. Considering the wonderful success which signalized every feature of to day’s parade, the abseuco of President McKinley, General Wheeler, Theodore Roosevolt and Governor Hastings was very much regretted, because the pres ence of these notables would have put the crown of idealism upon an event of unalloyed perfection that was probably never surpassed in Teinplarism. LOFTIEST MOUNTaFn PEAK Geological Survey Party Makes au Important Discovery. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 11.—The G. H. Eldredge geological survey party, which has just returned from the Cook’s inlet country, is declared to have discovered the highest mountain in North America. The peak, which towers far above Mount St. Elias, is situated in Alaska to tho right of tho Sushitna river. The government topographer took tri- angulations of the elevations, ascertain ing by soieutific calculations the exact height of the peak, which he declared to be more tbau 20,000 feet. The moun tain was named Bulishae, a word spoken in exclamation by the Indian guide of tho party upon first beholding 'he won derful peak. The members of tho survey are re ported to have expressed the opinion that an ascent would be almost impos- sible, so precipitous are its sides. North Slate Private Killed, Jacksonville, Fla., Oot. 11.—Private John Corbett of Company A, First North Carolina regiment, was shot and killed for resisting arrest by Private Clint Robinson of Company I, Fourth Illinois regiment, while the latter was doing duty as provost guard. states of Alabama, Mississippi Tennesseo and Texas. GENERAL LEE IN 8AVANNAH. He Selects a Temporary Camp Site For tile Seventh Army Corps. Savannah, Oct. 11.—General Fitz- hugh Lee of the Seventh army corps arrived in the city from Washington and established his headquarters at the DeSoto hotel. Ho was met there by several officers of his staff, including Major H. J, McGrath, chief engineer: Captain C. B. Baker, quartermaster; Captain E. St. J. Reble, assistant adju tant general, and Lieutenant C. B. Carebnell and Lieutenant Fitzhugli Loo, Jr., aids. These officers came up from Jackson ville for the purpose of meeting General Lee and arranging a camp sito for the corps on its arrival here. Mayor W P Meldrim aud Alderman Guckenheimer took tho party out in carriages to the Avondale tract, about a mile from the city, whore the camps will be located. Gonpral Lee and staff expressed them selves as highly pleased with the site, and on their return orders were issued at once for the removal of the troops from Jacksonville to this city. Soldiers Go to Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 11.—Captain Homer of tho United States army has been here consulting with officials of the city and state for the purpose of mustering out the two Mississippi regi ments, which aro now in that state, but not in an infected section. On aooount of tho spread of tho yellow fever in Mississippi it has been found nocessary to move the troops from that state at once. The mayor of this city and the governor of tho state are said to have given permission for the troops to come here, provided they come from no in. footed point. Twenty-six hundred sol- diers will be brought here from Missis sippi. Boo. what a good grandmother you had’l You onght to be better than most folks, because not only was your mother good, but your grandmother wns good also. Two preceding generations of piety ought to give you a mighty push in the right direction.” The fact was that Timothy noeded encouragement. He was iu poor health, having a weak stomach, and was a dyspeptio, and Paul prescribed for him a tonic, “a little wine for thy stomach’a Bake" not much wine, but a little wine, and only as a medicine. And if the wine then had been as muob adulterated with log wood and stryohnino as our modern wines ho would not have prescribed any. But Timothy, not strong physically, Is encouraged spiritually by tho recital of grandmotherly excellence, Paul hint ing to him, as I bint this day to you, that God sometimes gathors up as in a rosorvoir, away baok of the active gon- orations of today, a godly influence, and then in response to prayer lets down the powor upon ohildron nnd grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The world is woefully in wont of a table of statistics iu regard to what is the protractedness and imm9nsity of influence of one good woman in the churoli and world. We have accounts of tfow much evil has been wrought by a woman who lived nearly 100 years ago, aud of how many criminals her descendants furnished for the peuitentiary and the gallows, and how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they oost our country in their arraignment and prison support as well as in the property they burglarized and destroyed. But will not some one come out with brain comprehensive enough and heart warm enough and pen keen enough to give us the facts in regard to soino good woman of 100 years ago and let us know how many Christian men and women and reformers and useful people imvo been found among her de scendants and bow many usylunis and colleges and churches they built and how many millions of dollars they con tributed for humanitarian and Christian purposes? cavalry one of the mom berg was ar rested by the provost guard for disor derly conduct,' aud an attempt was made by his oomrados to reloase him One was shot, whereupon the negroes in the trains seized their arms and the shgoting became general.

PAYMASTER AT KNOXVILLE Troops There Will Get Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dollars. Knoxville, Oct. 11. —Interest at Camp Poland is now centered in the arrival of tho paymasters. They are expected today and nearly $200,000 will be paid in the oourse of the week.

The Women Who Won. The good women whose tombstones were planted in the eighteenth centnry ore wore olive for good in tho nine teenth oentury than tboy were before, os the good womon of this nineteenth century will bo more alive for good in the twentieth century than now. Mark you, I have no idea that the grandmoth ers were any better than their grand- daughteffe. You cannot get very old peo ple to talk much about how things were when they were boys and girls. They havo aretioeuce and a nonoommittalism whioh makes me think they feel them selves to be the custodians of tho repu tation of their early comrades. While our dear old folks are rehearsiug the follies of the present if we put them on the witness stand and cross examine them ns to how things were 70 yoars ago the silence becomes oppressive. The oelebrated Frenohmau, Volney, visited this country in 1766, and he snys of woman’s diet in those times, “If a premium was offered for a regimen most destructive to health, none could be devised more efficacious for these ends than that in uso among these peo- plo.” That eclipses our lobster salad at midnight Everybody talks about the dissipation of modern sooiety and how womanly health goes down under it, but it was worse 100 years ago, for the chaplain of a French regiment in our Revolutionary war wrote in 1782 in his ‘Book of American Women,’’ saying: They are tall and well proportioned, their features aro generally regular, their complexions are generally fair and without color. At 20 years of age the women have no longer the freshness of youth. At 80 or 40 they are deorepit. ” In 1813 a foreign consul wrote a book entitled "A Sketch of tho United Statos at the Commencement of the Present Centnry,” and ho says of the women of those times, "At the ago of 80 all their charms have disappeared. ” One glance at the portraits of tho women 100 years ago and their style of dress makes ns wonder how they ever got their breath. All this makes me think thut the ex press rail train is no more au improve ment on the old canalboat or the tele graph no more an improvement on the old time saddlebags than the women of our day are an improvement ou the women of the last oentury. Honor the Aged. But still, notwithstanding that those timos were so much worse than ours, there was a glorious race of godly wom en 70 and 100 vears ago who held the world baok from sin and lifted It toward virtue, and without their exalted and sanctified influence before this the last good influenco would have perished from tho earth. Indeed all over this land there are seated today—not so muoh in ohurohes, for many of Ihem are too fee ble to oome—a great many aged grand mothers. They sometimes feel that the world has gone past them, and they have an idea that they are of little ac- oount. Their heads sometimes get aobing from the racket of the grandchildren down stairs or in the next room. They steady themselves by tho banisters as they go up and down.
