SITUATION* IN NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Sept. 20.?Ai the close of the day's investiga tion by the board of health, at t o'clock this evening, the level situation, so far, at least, as Nov Orleans is concerned, was consid ered to have materially improved There was less anxiety than a any time since Monday anions the health officials, and they art encouraged to believe that by n< means have they lost control o the situation and that it wasquitt within the range of a probability to expect that within a shor time the superior quarantine an< sanitary methods employed wil prevail and crush out the hronzt visitant. Duiing the day there wen twenty cases reported to tin health board for investigation p Of these, two are still under in vesication, two were reported a: suspicious and as requiring furl lie diagnosis, fourteen were found t< he harmless eases of fever ant two were pronounced genuim yellow fever.

HENRY 1IA11TZ0U IS A SCHOL; AH AND AN EDUCATOR. > Tlio Class in Which ho Graduated Has a Roniarkablo Record?Col. t Thomas Says he Was a High Toned Cadet and an Excellent Scholar in History, Reiles-lot" ters and Ethics. 5 Col John P. Thomas, who was superintendent of tho Citadel Ac* ?.Lt1. TT c rr mivuiji ?mm injury o. Liarizog, > the newly elected president 61 ? Clomson College, was a cadet 1 there, yesterday gave the follow* ing interesting sketch of him: j "lie has done much as an edu cator with ])romise of much more. He is a member of the brilliant J Citadel class of 188(5, first to graduate after the re-opening of I the academy. Of the 1 Si * cadets who entered the citadel in 188*2, ? fifty-three survived to graduate. t. Of tiiis number was lfart/.og. That . class, by the way, has a remark able record, especially in the line of educators. Harrison, for, merly of Clomson, now of Davidr son; Hond and Coleman at (Jita3 del; Kinard at Winthrop; Spain ( of the Oeorgia school ot technol j- ogy; Floyd and Law, both in 3 structors in Florida; Robertson, , teaching in Oeorgia,and McCants, ^ president of the Stuart Normal j College of Virginir.are all mem j hers of this class of '80, and now n comes to supplement the roll Ilart/.og, president of Clemson The characteristics of each ono ol that class I recall perfectly. "llartzog was a high toned cadet, and an excellent scholar in the department of history, bellesletters and ethics. He delighted r in English literature,in the analyj sis of Shakespeare, in moral and mental philosophy, in essay writing and in oratory. Ho was a good soldier, but his passion was for letters. "I have confidence in iiim now as I luifl confidence in him then. Harf/og's principles are sound and ideals lofty. He will do all that his youth will allow, and I believe he will earnestly seek the wisdom of age. I expect, him te hold high the standard of Clemson as a moulder of charaeter;and as wise and good manager. I expect him to excel, while at the j same time, he will intelligently look after the agricultural, mejchanical, and scientitiic depart ' monts of the college. If he shall ' bo sustained by the hoard of trus loos iii the ad mi nist rat ion of t ho affairs of hi? principality,ho will put Clomson College on a prosperous career. "Hut let mo say in conclusion that no president of a col lego 01 l" head of a military school can ae 1 complish results or do his duty '' to the state,unless he enjoys tlu ^ confidence and has the loyal sup port of the board of inanagoinen of the institution. \o man in the state more sincerely desires Hart ^ zog's success than In-- friend am , former preceptor, lie deserve r the confidence of the state."
