CAUSE OF 9*iE EPIDEMIC.
It w«s Imported Bnt Bad Sewer
age Helped to Keep It Up.
Washington, Dit. 26,—Dr. J. F.
Hartigan of tliia city, who was sent
by Surgeon General Hamilton of the
marine hospital service to investigate
the yellow fever in Florida, has sub
mitted a report which was made pub
lic to-day. He afllrms that thadis
ease was imported from Cuba, ;but
charges that the local condition'd^-
tributed to its maintenance. Speak
ing of these conditions, be says:
.“Now it is conceded that filth enters
as a necessary factor in the produc
tion of yellow fever. Of the Florida
towns visited, with one or two excep
tions, it is not practicable to direct
the sewerage into tidal water, where
it can be carried away and become
harmless.
DANGER0U8 AND UNSATISFACTORY.
“At all the other places its dis
position is dangerous and unsatisfac
tory. In only one town did I find a
. reliable system for its purification
and utility. Even here the approach
to the works was indicated by a dif-
fetyt olfactory sense. 01
Nearly all the towns profess to have
a system, bnt it is hazardous. In
one place I found what had beon at
tempted as an artesian well utilized
by permitting the fluids from hotels
to enter the cavern, where, no doubt,
it meanders under ground for milesi
finally finding its way to the beds.of
lakes and possibly contaminating
their crystal waters.
INCINERATION ADVOCATED.
“Under theso circumstonces, it oc
curs to me that all human excrement
should be subjected to incineration
Every town should have a (tornace
for the purpose. This is quite
feasible, and ought to bo practicable
everywhere. In n school bouse in
this city, as well as in other places,
it has proved a marked success.
The idea is not new, but its adap
tability to Florida towns, and all
others similarly situated, will, I
think, he apparent Not odly will it
forever remove ono of the factors
essential to the production and pro
pagation of yellow fever, bu$ it will
also contribute to prevent typhoid
fever, ns well as have a general
wholesome effect on tho community.”
It is not genera 1 ly known who
wrote the popular ballad, “Listen to
the Mocking Bird.” It was first
published under the signature of
Alice Hawthorne, though the song
was really written by Septimus Win
ner, of Philadelphia, who preferred
to use his mother’s maiden name as
his nom de plume. He is said to
have made $100,000 out of it, whioh
shows that he was a winner other
wise than in name

The Macon Telegraph is about
the ablest, best edited and newsiest
pajier in Georgia, and it appears to
be thriving under CoL EstiU’s pro
prietorship. Now presses of the
most improved order have recently
been purchased to meet the demand
of the paper’s growing circulation.
The Color line at the North.
Atlanta Constitution.
Evidence is daily accumulating
that the color line is more systemet-
Ically drawn at the north than at the
south. We do not allude to the fact
that negroes in that section cannot
find accommodations at the hotels,
Bor to the feet that Ohio republicans
will not permit negro children toat :
tend white sohools. These things
touch tbe shsial relations of which,
every community must be its
own judge and regulate' to suit it

Bat wo are fold that in New York
City the negroi* refuse to attend the
white chui-ehes, preferring their own.
One negro preacher, at the recent
conference at Chiekering hall, said:
"’Our churches have reached the lim
it of their capacity. We need more
room to keep our members together.”
A white preacher said: “We do
not need more churches, but more
men and women in the ohqrthes.”
Here was an invitation to the ne
groes to attebd tho white churches,
but they will not accopt it. In New,
York their churches take the place
of organized stoietft

negroes themselves drawing the color
liue, and it is the result of the racial
instinct that exists in the blacks as
well as the whites.
On the other hand, tbo white peo
ple of New York city, as wo stated
the other day, are drawing the color
line, in a much more substantial man
ner. They no longer tolerate negro
house servants or negro coachmen.
The restaurants and hotels do not
employ negro waiters. Even the
negro whitewashcr Is out of date, and
tho negro washerwomen have been
supplanted by the cheaper and more
expert Chinamen.
There are thirty thousand negroes
in New York city, and these changes
are a serious matter to them.
The average age of- locomotives is
about 12 years, yet many, through
proper habits of living, tak
ing all tbeir meals regularly and
avoiding all intoxicating beverages
attain a respectable old age. The
oldest running engine in Germany
has been on the road since 1846, and
is, consequently, 43 years old—quite
a Methuselah, in faot. With regard
to its habits, It has always confined
itself strictly to: water, though it has
been addicted to smoking ail its life.
It is sad to see a ‘ locomotivo grow
