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 . . w - ■-Ml - \ 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.

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 •sir. .a?*/- '■ 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 J. T.

In this instance, it is the 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 prematurely old by running all night but they are often met with in col lisions. Syrup of Figs Natures own true laxative.
