QUARANTINE IS
INAUGURATED
Owing to Yellow Fc e Cases in
Italian Quarter of New Orleans.
HEALTH BOARDS * ACTIVE
Alabama, Texas, Florida and Other
States Put Up Barriers--Detention
Camps Established.
A New Orleans dispatch says: The
official au:opsy on a patient., an Ital¬
ian, who died of what has been called
suspicious fever, has disclosed that the
disease was yellow' fever. President
Souchon of the state board of health
has notified Governor Blanchard and
the health officers of Mississippi, Tex¬
as and Alabama. Arrangements have
been made for a detention hospital to
treat the remaining cases. Applica¬
tion ol the same me’hods which were
pursued at Havana is to be made,and
the authorities are hopefull that the
disease tan be stamped out. Presi¬
dent. Souchon said:
No eases of the fever are known
to exist outside of this area, save
two or three which are directly t.race
afdo to it and the infected area, a
few squads in extent, is under vig¬
orous disinfection.
‘It is expected that the measures
adopted and operated will lie success¬
ful In eradicating the infection, the
nature of which is suspected to he
yellow fever, though the autopsic. find¬
ings In one ease only determined this
as a conclusion."
The quarantine situation affecting
New Orleans is not serious in that it
applies on y to persons and baggage,
and this will lie relieved by the im¬
mediate establishment of detention
camps on the lines of all the railroads,
tv here travelers who desire to go to
the quarantine territory may remain
five da)s and secure a certificate of
non-infection from the marine hospital
service. Surgeon J. H. White of the
United Steves marine hospital serv¬
ice Sunday arranged for the estab¬
lish me" f camps at the following
pom.., PrcacemVAvondale, 'SeTi,' on the Queen nn 1
on the Southern
Pacific and Texas and Pacific; Ken¬
ner, on the Mississippi Valley and
Illinois Central, and Waveland, on
the Louisville and Nashville.
Alabama quarantined on the basis
of opinions expressed by her health
officer. Mississippi and Texas quar¬
antined on the basis of information
telegraphed them.
The state health and city boards
of health of Florida, Saturday, order¬
ed a quarantine against New Orleans.
Freight will be permitted to pass af¬
ter fumigation, but inspectors are sta¬
tioned at rtom&ton with instructions
to allow no persons from New Orleans
to pass.
Sundn,y the city of Montgomery,
Ala., through Acting Mayor 0. P. Mc¬
Intyre, issued an official proclamation
of quarantine against the city of New
Orleans.
The hoard of health of Selma, Ala,
Sunday afternoon sent back to New
Orleans a thirteen year-old girl of that i
city, who arrived Saturday to visit
relatives. The girl’s parents reside
in the Italian settlement of New Or¬
leans, where the yellow fever is said
to have been discovered.
Havana Quarantines.
A Havana dispatch says: On ac¬
count of the existence of yellow fever
at New Orleans, quarantine has been
declared against that port. |
Mexico Won't Quarantine. '
The health authorities of Mexico
City scy there will be no quarantine
against New Orleans. The sanitary
inspection of arriving passengers from
infected ports is strict and suspected
oases are isolated. Merchandise from
ports where yellow fever exists is not
detained. The theory on which the
Mexican sanitary authorities deal with
vePow fever is that it is only com
inuniotred by a species of mosquitoes,
thus the unreasonableness of quaran¬
tine precautions.
Washington is Aiding.
The officials of the public health
and marine hosffital service at Wash¬
ington are work ng in harmony with
those in Louisiana in the effort to
prevent am* spread of the fever. "Dr.
A- H. 0Human, acting surgeon gen¬
eral in the absence of Hr. Wyman,
who is now in Honolulu, has dis¬
patched Surgeons G. M. Gat:eras from
Cairo. 1!!.. T. H. IV, hard from Savan¬
nah and ,T. II. White from Mobile to
proceed to New ON on ns and assist
the marine hospital officials sta'toned
there.
A thorough outgoing .passenger med¬
ical train inspection service will he
organized so as to prevent the depart¬
ure of any persons who have been ex
posed in any way to the disease.

BILL AND CZAR CONFER.
Gzrnun Erareror and Russian Ruler
Have Meeting Wh ch Creates Sen
saticnand Carve; Speculation.
A special fr:m St. Petersburg says:
j On the eve of the peace conference
2 nd with a su laenness already discon¬
certing diplomatic and court circles,
: the emperor left Peterhof Sunday on
board the imperial yacht Polar Star
j for a conference with Emperor Wit-
1 liam, who is cruising the Hohen
on
zolleru in Fine «h waters.
The czar is accompanied by his
I brother, Grand Duke Michael Alexan
I drovich, and a considerable suite, in
j eluding the Count Benckendorff, marshal
of court; Count Heyden, chief of
| j the ioff, imperial chancellory; Admiral Bir
minister cf marine; Captain Von
i Essen, who commanded the battleship
j Sevastopol Arthur; Captain d >ring Chagin, the siege of Port
I who com¬
manded the Almaz, the only cruiser c%
! Admiral Roj. vensky’s fleet to reach
. Vladivtsolc, a' or the battle of the sea
'of Japan; < tain Hintze, naval at¬
tache of ti. German embassy and
also a party of courtiers and the era
| peror’s escor of sailors and marines
with a guard ommanded by Admiral
j Xuloff.
It is notic able that there is no rep¬
resentative of the Russian ( foreign
office among the emperor’s entourage
nor is the German ambassador on
I board the Polar Star. This gives col
: or to a report that the meeting was
j arranged between the two emperors
directly without recourse to the usual
diplomatic channels, Emperor William
suggesting the rendezvous by tele¬
graph from Hernoehand, Sweden. The
idea, the report says, met with the
czar’s favor, but the final arrange¬
ments wen only completed Sunday
and some members of the imperial
family were hastily commanded to
accompany his majesty.
Many diplomats were taken com¬
pletely by surprise by the news.
The action of Emperor William
in seeking a conference at this mo¬
ment is generally interpreted as a:i
assurance of his moral support of
Russia in he coming pour parlers
at Washing! m and Portsmouth and
to show i hit German participation
in the recent Japanese loan was not
4_gasfe alienation of German
sympathies f rom Russia. Emperor
William, whose keen interest in the
lessons of the Russo-Jap war is well
known, has a so taken advantage of
the occasioi to discuss the details
with eyewitnesses and the presence
of the nava officers who distinguish¬
ed themselves in the far east is due
to his special request.
A special dispatch from Paris says:
Emperor Nicholas’ cruise in the
Gulf of Finland to meet Emperor Wil¬
liam is the subject of much comment
in the press. Certain newspapers ex¬
press the fear that the German em¬
peror will influence the carrying out
of the peace program, wffiile others
are of the opinion that Emperor Wil¬
liam will seek to estrange Russia
from France.
The London newspapers of Sunday
morning noted with iuquietude the
sudden resolve of Emperor Nicholas
to visit Emperor William, and all
kinds of speculation are indulged in
as to the possible motives for. and
the results of such a momentous in
terview at a time when so many dif
fioult problems are facing European
diplomacy. The Moroccan and Scan
dinavian questions are regarded as
possible subjects for discussion, and
it is also supposed that toe reaction¬
ary party n Russia may have sue
ceeded in persuading the emperor of
the impolicy of permitting M. Witte
to conclude peace on a basis accepta¬
ble to France and Great Britain.
All the correspondents agree that
The interview was of Emperor Wil¬
liam’s seeking, and the result is await
od with the greatest anxiety.
No news of Emperor Willaims
whereabouts has reached London
since he left Gafle, Sweden, and was
cruising northward. There is nohar
at Borgo, and the imperial yachts
must be in the open sea.
Telegrams from Berlin indicate that
tlie meeting between tbe emperors is
as great a surprise there as else¬
where.

Vaccination Under Red Light.
Dr. Paul, director of the Vienna
Vaccination Institute, delivered re¬
cently a lecture on vaccination under
red light. Dr. Finsen discovered that
the blue and ultra violate rays of
light produce the ugly scars which
disfigure patients who have recover¬
ed from smallpox. Smallpox patients
are, therefore treated in rooms like
those used by photographers, to
which red light only is admitted.
The window panes are of red glass,
and no electric light, only candles,
are used in red glass globes. In cases
treated in this way the disease lasts
a much shorter time, and the scars
are almost entirely avoided. Prof.
Gartner proposed to vaccinate chil¬
dren in red light. Numerous doctors
have taken his advice, with the re¬
sult that no pain was feit, there was
no fever and there were no scars aft¬
er the pustules had healed. This re¬
sult, declared Dr. Paul, is the reverse
of what is intended by vaccination,
which is meant to make people im¬
mune against infection, and the more
its effect is felt the better will be
the ultimate result. Red light, which
should be applied in all cases of
smallpox, must be avoided in vacci¬
nation if the effect of the vaccination

CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife 3Iado Wise Change ia Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
“My husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from it
for several years. It was almost im¬
possible to find anything he could eat
(without bad results.
“I thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him to
discontinue it. He did so, and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, liis
digestion improved: he suffered much
less from his nervousness, and when
he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured.
“My friend. Mrs.--, of Vicks¬
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago. I persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de¬
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so com¬
pletely that she is now the most enthu¬
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I
over knew. She eats it with cream or
dry. just as it comes from the package
— keeps it in her room and eats it when¬
ever she feels like it.
“I liegan eating Grape-Nuts food my¬
self when my baby was two months
old, and I don’t know what I should
have done without it. My appetite was
gone. I was weak and nervous and af¬
forded but very little nourishment for
the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of
which I soon grew very fond, speedily
set all this right again, and the baby
grew healthful, rosy and beamtifui as a
mother could wish. He is two years
old now and eats Grape-Nuts food him¬
self. I wish every tired young mother
knew of the good that Grape-Nuts
would do her.”

Big Families The Best.
Father Beck, of the Holton Record
er, has lined up cn the side of Presi¬
dent Roosevelt in the big family con¬
troversy, and raises a new point to
justify his position.
“If the opposition will investigate
the matter just a little it will find
that nine out of ten of the great men
and women of this country have been
members of large families. And if
it will carry the investigation a little
further it will discover that as a rule
where there are only one or two chil¬
dren in the family they become spoil¬
ed and selfish and seldom amount to
muclu The more education you give
a spoiled, selfish boy the worse you
make him, unless he can in some way
overcome his selfishness. We will
leave it to any cf our observing, in¬
telligent readers if among their ac¬
quaintances the best boys and girls
are not as a rule the members cf large
families,”—Kansas City Journal.

The Smell of Cities,
Some sensitive essayist should
take the smell of place as subject.
Paris for example, is highly pervad¬
ed with the odor of burning charcoal, i
and, coming from Paris to London,
one is newly assailed by the appeal
of soot. Cologne has a reputation,
long undeserved, for smells other
than that of its famous '“water,” and
it has been said that in years of old
a blind man could find his way about
Cologne by following his nose. Mos¬
cow has an old perfume of its own.
It suggests cranberries o”f peculiar
pungency. And it never leaves the
nose. Garlic, of course, is the basic
smell that greets the stranger who
lands at Calais. But the most curi¬
ous of the smells of place is that of
St. Petersburg. The present writer
had often wondered what it was, hav¬
ing detected it even between the
sheets of his bed at the most exorbi¬
tant hotel. On his third visit he was
driven in a drosky from the station
with a fresh young English girl, who
had never been away from Kent be¬
fore. “Now, do you smell anything?”
he asked. “Yes,” said the girl. “Old
boots.” That is the smell of St.
Petersburg. Centenariau shoe leath¬
er.—London Chronicle.
Colors Birds Don’t Like.
Red will annoy a turkey cock as
much as a bull, but a sparrow will not
let it disturb its mind. But if one
shakes a blue rag in front of a caged
sparrow’s eyes he will go frantic with
disgust. Sparrows and linnets, too,
will refuse food offered them on a
piece of blue paper, and dislike the ap¬
pearance of any one wearing a blue
dress. Medium light blue affects
them most, hut blue serge they
scarcely mind at all. Thrushes and
blackbirds object to yellow, but will
use red or blue dried grass left about
their haunts to biuld the outer layers
of their nests. Yellow grasses they
will not use.—Chicago Journal.
