BOW THE YELLOW FEVER CAME.
c ur <j-eon General Hamilton Pays It xvas
Imported int > ianpa -.aet Year.
From the Medical News, Xov, 10.
At the meeting of the Virginia Medical
Society, held at Norfolk last week, Surgeon
General Hamilton gave the following ac
count of the manner in which the epidemic
of yellow fever was introduced into this
country, the details of which, he said, had
been secured at great cost to the govern
ment, and have not before been published:
Last year the yellow fever appeared in
Kev West in the family of a restaurant
keeper by the name of Baker. A family of
Bohos. who had kept a hotel in Havana,
emigrated, unfortunately for Florida, to
gev West. Their households effects were
landed and stored above Baker’s restaurant.
The Baker family died of the fever; thus
the fever started, and rapidly became epi-
The government, under the operation of
that section of the statutes forbidding inter
fes once with local authorities, did nothing
except at the request of the governor to
help the local board to establish a dispen
6arr and pay the expense, of the city bos
piial. To assist in the speedy depopulation
of the citv a refugee camp was, established
at Egmontj Ky. at th mouth of Tampa
bay.” No case from Egmont communicated
the disease. The first cases in Tampa were
kepts ecret from August to Oct. 21, 1887. A
family of Italians by the name of Turk,
fruit dealers, brought the fever into Tampa.
The steamers had refused, under orders
from the Hillsborough county board
of health, to bring fruit from
Havana or Key West. These Ital
ians, finding it impossible to con
tinue in business, sot up a smuggling line,
and brought fruit by way of Punta Gorda
bay and overland to Tampa. For this pur
pose the man Turk and his assistant, ‘‘Pete,”
made frequent surreptitious visit, to Key
;V>-t while the disease was epidemic there,
and blankets wei e purchased in the infected
city, used while on the overland trip, and
brought to Tampa. It is a significant fact
that the whole family of the Italians were
t e first to be taken sick, and that they
were not publicly known to have been out
of the town, although the fact is now
known. The measures taken by tbe gov
ernment were simply to conform to the
v isiles of the governor to aid the Hills
borough county board of health.
The duty of preventing the spread of the
dise.se was undertaken by the Florida
Mate Protective Association, an organiza
tion consisting of one representative from
each county board of health, under the
presidency of Hr. King Wyley of Sanford.
n December, 1887, tbe association raised
the quarantine against Tampa. The county
board of health aserted that the disease
had disippeared. Unfortunately the dis
ease had not been stamped out, and’al
though the cases of fever lingered all win
ter in Tampa, its existence was bitterly de
nied. From Tampa the disease spread to
Plant City, Manatee and otaer places, and
it is now believed that the fever was at
Jacksonville as early as February,
1888. Dr. Guiteras of the Marine
hospital service, an acknowledged ex
pert, says that in his judgment at least
two of the cases of “society” fever, of which
there were over thirty reported in Jackson
ville in that month, had the well-marked
clinical history of yellow fever. Nine of
the e cases died. Dr. Potts treated cases in
Ray street in June, and there were proba
bly cases continuously until the formal an
nouncement was made. Ht said that
so-called isolated cases had been reported at
Jacksonville ofter tbe case in Bay street
had been treated in June by Dr. Potts, but
that the local authorities denied the pres
ence of an epidemic and placed a guard
around each case. This state of things
existed until Aug. 16, when the spread of
the disease in Jacksonville became so great,
cases springing up at various points iu the
city that could not be traced to any of the
so-i ailed isolated cases, that the authorities
had to declare the disease epidemic.
Dr. Hamilton that the disease had
been introduced in Decatur, Ala., by a man
vhohadgono from Jacksonville while all
of the casts in that city had been reported
under guard. His ticket had been from
some point outside of the infected city, and
c nsequently he was not denied admittance.
The doctor said the fever had been intro
duc'd into Gainesville and Fernaudina by
hiss hall players, who had played a game
of ball in Jacksonville before the epidemic
nature of the disease had been declared, and
then : eturned to these cities.
Dr. Hamilton went on to explain the gnv
er -Ticnt work at Camp Perry, and said that
site its establishment tilers had b’en only
ore death from yellow fever in the fever
ha-pital there, lie said that the experience
ofphysicians at tbe camp went to show
tha‘ five days was the incubative period,
and that when persons had been in the camp
for that length of tim" and did not develop
ti e disease, there was no danger of their
having it. No person having spent ten
bt s in the camp had doveloped the fever
alter leaving the station.
He spoke of the lack of local inspection at
Tampa, where the disease first appeared
t :?s season, an i said that if the first cases
had teen reported there would probably
have been no epidemic, and said he had
proof to show that when tho case of Mc-
Cormack was reported as the first in Jack
sonville the fever was then epidemic.
He also said that while the fever was
rr.ging at Key West, he, at the request of
several health officers, had prepared a bill
1 r ioing for the establishment of a state
hoc dof health, which was laid on tho
tal l■ by the Florida legislature through
motives of false economy. Ho concluded
by saying that tho inspection cf Florida
chics offered by the government had
d'. • pod tha fact that the yellow fever
was epidemic in both Enterprise and Fer
nand, uu.
LIFE AT THE W--ITE HOUSE.
How Mrs. Cleveland Toole the Polit
ical Defoat—Pots of the Household.
K. Archer writes in the current num
ber of the Epoch an interesting sketch of
white houso life, which gives a glimpse of
t e inner circle such as is not usually
accorded to correspondents. He says:
‘ That Mrs. Cleveland was disappointed
f’ver the result of the election, she very
trankly admitted to the intimate friends
gathered about her on the evening of
hov. o, when the day was lost and won, and
electricity was flashing the returns over the
wires to the white house.
■'She sat in ti e red parlor with her
inotlier, Mrs. Folsom, Mrs. Vilas end her
t'tmghter, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney and
" m *' n 'bcott, and chatted over the disaster
Which was clearly predicted after the news
irom New York and Indiana had boon re
ceived. To those who were trying to find
topics of greater pleasantness to discuss sho
eut a ready smile and cheery w ord, and
when someone would try to offer an expla
nation of the astounding news she would
lisniiss tho subject with u quiet teplv und
, to Mrs. Eudicott of her daughter’s ap
troachiug marriage. With a gins
nthusiasm (sho entered into tho
particulars and made many kind
nquiries regarding the event. Her
cany sympathy went out to Mrs. En
hcott, when one of the company asked tier
j Miss Mary would live in England, and
he- Indy falteringly answered iu the
thriuative. Miss Eudicott, like Mrs.
-leveland, is un only daughter, and the
V . wit * l ibe impulses of a warm
hearted woman, expressed regret that tho
ouple were not to reside nearer to the old
[**“}?. ot ber parents. Mrs. Cleveland
ncc pte<i for her husb.md and her
? ‘ ’be invitation to be present at the mar
ceremony, and kept up the droopiug
beerfuf ref,elit by ber animation and
she President was busy In his office and
in n°t join his wife aud guests, and when
16 iatter hail departed, Mrs. Cleveland
’eat at once to her own apartment* tj
leet him. *
occupied her time for a brief
'•nod the next forenoon, but she was en
, i j* o B et wy from tho white house
, irl y ' n the day and go to Oak View, where
Wa alone with her mother until the
President and Col. Lament arrived for din
n r. tin Thursday moraine she returned
with the Preside t and busied herself with
lie personal aifairs uiitd callers came,
when she appeared as radiant as usual and
as apparently unconscious of self. Only
her friends were admitted, and she seemed
to enjoy their presence. To one lady, for
whom she has a strong liking and is on
b< rnewbat intimate terms, she said very
seriously: 'i am sorry for the President,
and for his sake wish it hau been otherwise,
but what cannot be helped must be met.’
“ ‘You will stay among us here after next
March, we all hope,’ was said to her iu re
'piy.
“ ‘Too early to talk of that,’ smilingly
re lied Mrs. Cleveland. ‘We love our coun
try home here and we love New York, and
we women follow our husband’s fortunes,
yo t know.’
*• ‘And you are happy, anywhere,’ said
her friend.
““I have never had cause to be long
otherwise.’ The old gay manner had come
back, and Mrs. Cleveland was soon laugh
ing and talking with other callers. This
seme friend in speaking afterward with
Mrs. Folsom, remarked upon her daughter’s
admirable manner and behavior, and in
complimentary terms spoke of her career
as ‘the lady of the white house.’
“Mrs. Folsom listened and then made the
reply that from her earliest yours her
daughter had been of a loving, joyous
nature, and not even sickness could dampen
her ardor. ‘She is always the same happy
nature,’ was the fond mother’s comment as
she looked at her beautiful daughter.
“In speaking of the defeat of the Presi
dent, this same authority said: “You will
never hear of anything imprudent emanat
ing from Mrs. Cleveland. She is wonder
fully prudent and cautious in all her words
and conduct. The President has the great
est of blessings in his young wife, and he is
tn his heart too happy to be long cast down
by political fortune. Though older, con
siderably, than she, he does not permit her
to realize it, and her affection for him is
extreme. Do'you remember George Eliott's
saying that the happiest wife is she who
finds combined in her husband the tendei
ness of a father with the devotiou of a
husband? Mrs. Cleveland looks up to her
husband with the trust and confidence she
felt as a child in him, and she is very proud
of her heart’s choice. He is indeed that, as
you would have seen for yourself had you
witnessed their meeting after one of her
absences of several weeks not a great while
ago. Mrs. Cleveland saw the coachman's
livery from the car window at the depot,
and as she stepped to the door as the train
stopped she looked toward the carriage
anxiously. It was empty, and her face re
vealed the disappointment she felt. The
President was directly beside her and saw
her eager glance and the look that suc
ceeded it. He smilingly touched her, aud
as she caught sight of him sho impetu
ously threw herself into his arms. The
rosy, blushing face was kissed and tha
President handed her to her seat and scoa
the prancing horses had dashed away with
the happy pair.’
“ ‘How will she liko to return to Buffalo?’
“ ‘Mr. Cleveland has no interests to take
him back there, and he will live wherwer
she will be happiest. There is no quostion
as to his future residence, aud tho matter
was decided long ago. He is not so ambi
tious in any direction as he is for the happi
ness of the beautilul girl who made a hero
of him before she was out of short dresses,
and who looks at him through the glamour
of love’s young dream. The only comfort
I find in the defeat of tho President is that
the public will have opportunity to correct
some misapprehensions entertained toward
him and his wife. He is a peculiar man,
but one of the noblest in the world.”
“From this same lady, whosi familiarity
with the white hnise life entitles her to
speak, were learned several pleasant facts,
all bearing out her assertion that no home
circle in the land is more delightful than
the Clevelands’. Hho sa id that Mrs. Cleve
land is extremely fond of pets and talks to
her dogs, coos to her birds and caresses her
horses with a child’s delight. But when
others are about she at once restrains her
feelings and gives her pots only such notice
as is a necessary recognition of their de
light at seeing her. Bo with her school-girl
friends. At the table sho is as dignified and
mature in manner as is the President, and
far more gracious naturally, but in her
private apartments her merry laugh and
gay conversation are heard eontinnously.
When she has her schoolmates with her the
President is ever ready with suggestions for
their entertainment, and he finds frequent
excuses for going to her sitting room, where
he is sure of a hearty welcome. The eis a
kind and friendly welcome for every one
whom his wife cares for, and as a host ho is
most urbane aud attentive. The long line
of women who have presided as hostesses of
the white house have had new luster thrown
about the position by tho graceful girl who
was the first and only one among Presi
dent’s wives to celebrate her wedding in
the historical mansion. She will be ranked
in coming time with Mrs. Madison aud
Miss Harriet Lane as one of the three most
popular women who have held the position.
“Side by side with the queenly Martha
Washington’s portrait should hang that of
Frances Folsom, the sweet girl-wife of the
twenty-second President of the United
States.”

My Poor Back!
That’s the common exclamation of those suffering with rheumatism or kidney troubles. In
either disease Paine’s Celery Compound will surely effect a cure, and there will no longer be
any cause to complain of “ poor backs.” Hundreds of testimonials like the follow
ing confirm our claims for that grand old )BSr remedy, Paine’s Celery Compound :
“Two weeks ago I could not sleep more than an hour at a time anv
night,was constipated and kidneys did / A not act, and had a good deal of pain
in the back. Since I took Paine’s Celery Compound the pain has left
my back, and I can sleep like a child.” Zenas Sanders, West Windsor,Vt.
“ Having been troubled with rheuma tism for five years, I was almost
unable to get around, and was very often confined to my bed for weeks at a
time. I have used nearly all medicines mjffi imaginable, besides outside advice, but to
no advantage. Having seen Paine’s J|j Celery Compound advertised, I gave it a
trial. I have used only one bottle and am Wlr perfectly cured. I can now jump around
and feel lively as a boy. Frank Caroli, Eureka, Nevada. Price, SI.OO. Six for $5.00.
