The Death Kate, However, Con tinues ojuu.i, Thus Nhowiw That There is No Increase ii the Malignancy oftheYollov Scourge?Quarantined l'eopl breaking bounds. New Orleans, Sept. 21).?Tod a; lias heon a r <1 breaker in tin number of new oases of yollov fever repo * 1 while the death equalled in number those of an\ day since the yellow fever wai tirst discovered in the city. \'a rious reasons are given for tin spread of the disease,but the jo in eipal ones are that the woathei turned warm again, and owing k the much wider field to cover,tin board oi health has had some dii lien 1 ty in getting every house a . closely guarded as was possible 4l.~ ' "inn nit: cases nen* were lew 11 number and the trained ollieiab of tiie board were stationed about tlie quarantined house. The fact that the death rate has been small and that the chances of an epidemic have been constantly grow itig less have made the general public somewhat careless, and there has been increasing friction between the quarantined people and the authorities. Imprisoned inmates of houses have been going <m r.u iiai k rr;.M KS. and sneaking out of sido doors in order not to be confined, and the result lias been that more germs have been scattered and rapidly developed in three warm days. In no other season have the authori ties been more strict in quarantining houses and isolated inmates who might be around the sick,and the result has been that every possible effort is being made by certain elements of the eommuni ty to get the better of the board. The increased number of cases here has caused no i?on??r!il - - C>? '"1 because flu' increase of ileaths has not boon in proportion. The loath rate is a fritle under 12 j?or i cent., when live or six (lays ago " it was shown to ho above !?">. The com lu-ion, Ihorcforo, is natural i that there is no increase in tin malignancy of the disease. The authorities here .-.till believe thai lor some time longer the new cases will occasionally exceed the number on the books today, but they are singularly one in the opinion that the disease cannot attain the proportion of an epiI demic. OFFICIAt. 8TATKMKNT. The board of health of the State of ^Louisiana oflicialy announce the status of affairs in New Orleans as regards yellow fever 1 as follows: 1 During the 24 hours ending J September 20, at 0 p. m., there ' were cases of yellow fever today, ! 25; deaths today, 4.

It is always charming to see children manifest tender affection toward their parents, and this is still more pleasing when the "children" are themselves men 1 and women. The writer remembers being on a railroad train several years ago, : when directly in front ol him sat i a kindly looking, snowy haired 1 old man, evidently unaccustomed .'to traveling, and as manifestly in I g hi: "second childhood." Me was it very talkative, and he told me all t about the journey lie was taking. l*i "I'm going out to Iowa to see my son Jimmy and my daughter Nelly. .lust think of it! I ain't j seen either o, them children for most six years, and if they ain't v ' tickled to see me I'll bo mistaken. . An' this train scorns to fairly J drag. I get ho impatient every time it stops at a station ! I wish it'd keep right on an' never stop 'until we git to lv ; that's | 1 where .Jimmy an' Nelly lives." lie began gathering up his few belongings when we were still an hour's ride from his destination. , I want to be ready to git right : oir when we stop," lie said. **.Jini mv and Nellv'U both be at the 11 I depot to meet me, although they . live nine miles out in the country, L I , j an' there ain't no need o' both o' tlu-m i ' I - . . nut im \ ii no micro ?you soo if they ain't." When wo reached K the | excited old man started to leave I tin* car in eager haste. Hut the , train had not yet come ton stand J still, when a great bearded giant II of a man, fully fifty years of age, i hurried into the car. "Jimmy !" called out the old man eagerly. "Here I am, "Jim my 1" Father !" cried the son,and ho took the little old man right into his arms and hugged him, while tears stood in the eyes of both. A stout, plainly clad, middleaged woman appeared at the car door and cried out, "Father!" Then she turned and called to someono on the platform, "Ilero he is! Here's father!" V' 11 ..... "*.> '11, my rl : said the old man. The sen and daughter both had an arm around the father as he left the car. On the platform \v ere seven or eight grandchildren, from five to twenty years of age. "Here's your gran'pa!" said Nelly joyfully, and a great hug ' ging and kissing time ensued. < >f course the passengers in 'he ) car and the bystanders on the ; platform smiled ; but I think I that most of them agreed with ' a lady on the car who said : i "It is a beautitul sight to see - an old man loved and revered by ' his children and I only wish that : such exhibitions of affection were more common.'*?Exchange. A SUSPICIOUS CASE i Causes a Loss to Trade of a Million Dollars a Day. Houston, Tex., Sept. 29.?Eva Duncan, the negro woman who i i ~ nas ueen under guard three days, declared to be a suspicious case by State Health Ollicer Swearingen but by every local physician to be suffering dengue and kidney inflammation, is getting bettor. The cotton exchange and board of trade held a meeting today and passed resolutions requesting Surgeon General Wyman to send an expert here at once to look at the case and wired to him. Nobody here believes the woman has yellow fever, but every town in Texas has quarantined against Houston, and the situation is very serious, commercially, as the loss to trade is a million dollars a day while this ostracism lasts. Two thousand men are out ol employment already on account of it,and the list grows daily. It is hoped here that the government will send I>r Guiteras or some other man whose reputation will be sufficient to allay the fears aroused in the interior of the state. How's This?

Are the Children ot the Time "Dressed to Death V isitors to Scotland says the l'all Mall Gazette, used tt? be horrified on seeing so many eliilclren running about barefooted. Dare feet are less common now than they were a generation ago, and perhaps the change, while show ing a growing prosperity in the nation, is not altogether to be recommended. Children's feet grow so fast that to keep them always | properly shod is a matter that reJ quires considerable care ami some i expenditure. It matters very lit I tie to the child's future well-being that at some period of its childj hood the sleeves of a jacket have been too short or the skirt of a frock too scant; but the comI pression of feet in boots too tight, I r?r u*AreA *oa r? 1 w., n?i-' , iuu snun, iimy do a cause of torment in future years. Infinitely better are bare feet than clumsy, heavy, illshapcn boots. In the winter the feet may indeed want some protection from cold and wet ; but during a great part of the year children j may sately and healthfully go| barefooted. Some mothers, by no means of; the poorest classes, are convinced j that the comfort and symmetry i of the feet in maturer years are I largely to be gained by giving I them freedom during the time of] irrowth.

His orchards, in Kansas, says the Kansas City Times, consist of 1,630 acres, containing 100,000 apple irees, ana are locaieU in the counties of Leavenworth, Miama, and Osage. In thirteen years he has picked over 400,000 bushels ol apples, and whenever he has a little money to spare he buys a little more land and sets out some more applo trees. Growing apple trees is his passion, just as gambling is the passion of some men and raising fast horses the passion of others. * 1 tako more delight in planting trees and seeing them grow," i said he to a Times correspondent.) "than in anything else in the world.'' Chief precedence, as the to favorite varieties, is given to Hen Davis, of which he has <5M0 acres; Missouri l'ippin. 000 acres; lohnathan. 000 acres, and Uano, 100 acres. He being the apple king, with an experience of tiur-; ty eight years in Kansas, thirty! of which have been spent in applo j culture, his methods, Irom liis. own lips, ought to be of interest not only to all farmers ot Kansas, but to all citizens who have any interest in the product adapted to ! the State. | "In planting apple trees use land in as good a state of culti\ I tion as lor other crops. Make the j rows north and south, thirty-two| feel apart, by turninga straight! plow 1 arrow to the west and another to the east, say twenty) inches from the first; the middle! | strip thus left is thrown out by I round with the plow, the last fur* | I iw.;.,.. ? - ? *>? in iiifi .uiuuL it'll lln'nOS (ICCJ). Ill the bottom of this dead furrow, I running a listing plow with sub j soiling attachment and then cross- I , marking with any device to indi-; j rate the location for the trees, : sixteen feet apart in the rows, j completes the preparation of the | ground. Thrifty two-year old trees are j considered host, although i hose a: I year older are not objectionable." J An Old Doctor's Favorite. Dr. L. M. Ciillani,who practiced I medicine over forty years, origi- j uated, used and claimed that Hotanic Hlood Halm, (H. H.

I'so this standard remedy, j I'rice per largo bottle $1.00 AFTER SEVERAL DOCTORS FAILED. I have been alllictod with Catarrh lor many years, although all sorts of medicines and several doctors did their best to cure me. i My blood was very impure, and nothing ever had any efTect upon the disease until I used that great Blood Bemedy known hh Botanic. Blood Balm, (B. B. B.), a few bottles of which effected an en- . tire cure. I recommend it to all who have Catarrh. I refer to any merchant or banker of Athens. 1 ??...> !
