FEVER STATUS HAS IMPROVED Dread Contagion Is Being Well Corralled at Hampton. ORIGINAL PATIENT IS FOUND. It Is Hoped to Confine Disease to Soldiers’ Home and Town of Phoebus. A Washington special says: The yellow fever situation at Hampton con tinues favorable in the opinion of the officials of the marine hospital service. According to official reports there were no new cases Thursday. It is hoped to confine the disease to the Soldiers’ Home and Phoebus, but Surgeon General Wyman thinks it too early to make a definite prophecy re garding the outbreak, as it is only a few days since the presence of the fe vor became known to the officials at Washington. Tuesday night at half-pest 8 o’clock Dr. Wyman received the following telegram from Dr. Vickery, stationed at the Soldiers’ home: “Situation favorable and encourag ing, No new cases and no deaths.’’ Dr. Wyman also received from the home a list of the members of the in stitution who were furloughed on and after the 22d of July, the day after a number of the inmates became sick with the fever. Accompanying the names were the exact dates and the time of the furlough and the destina tion of those to whom they were grant ed. The surgeon general gave this in formation to the press and asks that newspapers in the places to which these persons have gone publish it and. that medical officers hold under close observation for a period of at least ten days after they left the home such of the inmates as they may be able to find. Most of the inmates furloughed have fortunately gone to northern cities. Fortress Monroe Well Patrolled. burgeon Pettus wired from Fortress Monroe that there is nothing new and that a good patrol is being maintained. Regarding rumors said to prevail in Newport News that government exports had pronounced the disease not to be yellow fever, Dr. Wyman and General ■Sternberg each said that no such in formation had been sent to either of them, and that no reason was known for questioning that the disease was yellow fever. The marine hospital officials at Hampton Lave succeeded in tracing and locating the former inmate of the Soldiers’ home who is believed to have brought yellow fever to that place. His name is William Thomas. He ar rived at the home on a transport from Santiago, where he had been visiting between July 2nd and sth last. He was admitted to the home as a veteran and shortly afterwards developed chills and fever. In the light of subsequent events the experts believe there is little doubt that he was affected with a mild case of yellow fever, although it was not diagnosed as such at the time. When well enough to travel, he left the home and his baggage was sent to Phoebus. The man himself went to Columbus City, Wash., where he now lives ; Surgeon General Wyman regards it as fortunate that Thomas went to such a high latitude, as it greatly lessens any danger of infection.

People In Power Hove Alwnyo Feed Them Laviehlr. The too free use of perfumes about the person has been avoided for many years, and held inadmlssable In good society, the merest hint of a faint odor being all that was possibly allowed. Recently this edict of good taste has not been so strictly regarded, and such perfumes as violet and sandal-wood, both of them expensive ones when pure, together with heliotrope, ar« somewhat In fnvor again. It is quite likely that the very general wearing of large blue violets has led the way to this. It Is not easy to eradicate the love of perfumes anyway, for the nerves made to appreciate them will always demand satisfaction; and since the race, civil ized or uncivilized, lias existed, the love of perfumes has existed too. Even animals are sensitive to per fumes, and it used to be said that one of the helps of the great horse-tamer Rarey was a bunch of violets. Emperors, and priests, and people in power, have always been lavish in their use of perfumes. SAladin wash ed down the walls of the Mosque of Omar with rose water, to make the Mohammedan heaven more attractive. Some of the hourls were declared to have bodies of pure musk. The Turk has always been more fond of musk than the Occidental is. At a later period than that of Rich ard’s great foe one of the French monarchs—Louis Qulnze, we think used a different perfume for every day in the year, although some of the shades of variance must have been in finitesimal. It was a poetical custom of the court at about that period for two lovers to use the same perfume. Our grandmothers, and theirs before them, sometimes scented their hair dressings by megns of an apple stuck full of cloves and spices, kept a long time in the pomade, which was per haps as simple a method and provided as simple an aroma as could have been Invented. They loved, too, the odor of patchouli, with which everything com ing from India or China in those rich old days of the India trade was loaded —somewhat too powerfully for modern taste; but perhaps they loved the scent more for its asociation with the won derful shawls and scarfs and stuff which It accompanied than for itself.— Harper’s Bazar. Owned 30,000 Autographs. The owner of probably the greatest private collection of autographs in the world, Alexander Polonyi, has died in Vienna. His collection was so large that it filled the entire upper story of his house. Polonyi possessed the auto graphs of persons, not only of moderns .but of medieval and Renaissance jiersons as well. He was not particular ns to age, religion or profession. All he stood out for was that the autograph was to be that of a person of certain historical importance. He possessed original writings which have not yet been printed of Michael Angelo and Marie Antoinette, letters by Goethe, pages of music by Wagner and Beethoven, original documents from the eleventh century, private let ters of Canovas, old Hebrew scrolls and sermons by famous Hussites. It was Polonyl’s greatest pleasure to show his treasures to scholars and to bewilder them with the wealth and variety of the materials which he placed before them in the calculated disorder we have attempted to de scribe. He began life as an apprentice to a Leipsic bookseller. His greatest success was with a magnificent collec tion of Duerer's drawings, which he happened on quite accidentally and sold to the Royal Gallery, in Berlin, for a prodigious sum of money. Pol onyi had ho scientific dr historical knowledge, but he had a genius for col lecting, and it was as a collecter he w r as Shown throughout, the world. Educate Your Howels With Casearets.

[LBTCXX TO M.S. riNKMAK NO. 72,896] “You have saved my life, snatched me from the brink of the grave almost, and I wish to thank you. About eigh teen mouths ago I was a total wreck, physically. I had been troubled with leucorrhoea for some time, but had given hardly any attention to the trouble. “ At last inflammation of the womb •nd ovaries resulted and then I suf fered agonies, had to give up my pro fession (musician and piano player), was confined to my bed and life became a terrible cross. My husband sum moned the best physicians, but their benefit was but temporary at best. I believe I should have contracted the morphine habit under their care, if my common sense had not intervened. “ One day my husband noticed the ad vertisement of your remedies and im mediately bought me a full trial. Soon the pain in my ovaries was gone. lam now well, strong and robust, walk, ride a wheel, and feel like a girl in her teens. I would not be without Lydia E.
