Poverty has added its woeB tj the pitiful results of the fever scourge. That ignorance is its own punishment is verified by the condition among the Italians. Those who have been stricken were principally of a class which does little other work than the unloading of banana steamships, can speak but little but Italian and distrusts anything and everything that is not of their race. One Italian said yesterday to a board of health inspector that he believed the government had poisoned the air to get rid of the Italians. Such is their dis trust that few will take medicine, and nearly all hide their disease until the last possible moment. Because of this delay in seeking medical assistance the great number of deaths has resulted. The fever is easily cured by present methods If the case is treated early enough. The old German remedy for fevers which has been handed down from generation to generation for scores of years is practically the treatment being given by physicians. The first symp toms of the disease are a severe, split ting headache, followed by a severe chill. There is only one chill. If there are more it is not yellow fever. The patient is given a hot mustard foot bath, a strong purgative, and put to bod under heavy blankets to perspire. Cooling cloths are applied to the head and chopped ice kept in the mouth to prevent nausea. The bowels and kid neys muBt be kept open, little food ex cept nulk given, and there you are. The fever rises steadily for three days. If it continues to rise thereafter the pa tient is as good as dead. If it breaks the remit is speedy recovery. Pathetic scenes are manifold iu the Italian quarter. Food and raiment, witn other necessitie s are being supplied the poverty-stricken by the Italian so cieties and other organizations. In some families three or more members have died. Many cases have been re ported as fever and as dead within an riour after discovery. Put in this short time the pthrr rT" wntrm o4 flv have scattered to oilier parts of the city, to stay in hiding with friends and rela tives In scores of Catholic churches special masses and novenas are ociuk "iu iaily, asking the intercession of saints in tQlS Visitation- ror mc look upon this as a visitation of Provi dence, a wreaking of vengeance for some great wrong of the past. Iu the past, funeralB of yellow fever r.atients were ht Id at night. The tody was placed in a box, carted to a ceme tery and lowered into the waiting hole, to be quickly covered with lime and then with earth. To-day no restrictions are ordered. Tne entire town might at tend a funeral if it so desires, irrespec tive as to the cause of death. No ftar exists of infection except through the mopij'iitoes. The quarantines have cttustd the greatest trouble. Only one per cent. )f the population has been ill of fever, and one-tifth of that has died. There is absolutely no t ign of panic or scare THK INFLI'ENCK OF THE IHOON. Charlotte Observer. The statement of Prof. H. H. Hume, that the moon has no effect upon vege tation, has been the subject of con siderable discussion in the county dur ing the past several weeks. "The sun do move and no one need try to drill the idea into the heads of the people of the county that the moon has-no effect upon the crops," remarked a promi nent citizen of the city to an Observer man yesterday. And this is very true. There are some things that are deep rooted in the minds of the people, and this is one of them. "Prof. Hume should call upon an old woman that lives near Charlotte," said one of the best-known farmers of the county yesterday. "She iB an old lady of unquestioned veracity and uncertain years, and one who is able to convince even a wayfaring man of the truth of her statements. She is a firm believer that the 'old times are better than the new.' She cites many incidents that would make interesting reading matter for Prof. Hume or any of his kind. A few of these are given below : "To make the water of a spring clear and pure, the spring should be cleaned out Friday before each new moon. "Ac cording to this old lady the rule has neve failed, although it has been tried from time immemorial. "My grand mother always did this, my mother also, and I have never seen it fail yet." l'rof. Hume should listen to the inci dents recounted and he would hear some remarkable things. The moon, according to this old lady, has some strange inlluence upxn soap. The fact is well known that if soap is made at certain phases of the moon, tnen the material will not harden and the stuff will le of a very poor quality On the other hand, if the process is carried out at other times, the liquid will harden and no ditheulty will be ex perienced. A sassafras paddle must iuvariab!) be used. "Kraut must be made when the sign of the moon is in the head, otherwise something terrible will happen. Meat must be killed at ceitain limes, Cr fvtryiuing win go n. mt.-- And then, too, there are many other signs that are believed in by a large nuuiler of the country people, and Pr f Hume will have a vast deal of dilliculty in convincing them of any thing to the contrary. DEAD MAN AT THE THROTTLE. New Vork Dispatch, JUh. The "Fast Flying Virginian," the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad's crack train, which leaves Jersey City over the Pennsylvania railroad . for the South every evening, unknown to the passen gers aboard, was in grave - danger last night night. There was a tragedy in the cab. The train pulled out of Jersey City at 5 25 o'clock. It is a heavy one made up at this time of year usually of eight cars. There was a large, number of passengers aboard, and the day coaches, which are at the head of the train, were especially well filled. The first stop is at Princeton Junc tion. Trenton was reached a few min utes before 7 o'clock and Daniel Mahoney, the engineer, swung down from his cab here and walked around the locomotive to oil the machinery. A heavy thunderstorm had just spent itself, but others were piling black clouds in the West, and, early as it was, it was dark. Scarcely had the train passed out of the cut through which the railroad runs in Trenton and across the bridge into MorriBville when Mahonoy detected the odor of burning waste and called out to his fireman that they had a hot box. The fireman went and leaned against the engineer's seat and bcjth agreed that the train could be run to; Philadelphia. The fireman went back to the tire door and after he had closed it climbed to his seat on the other Bide of the cab. Within a few minutes he saw the indi cator in the steam gauge swinging back rapidly and then noticed that the train ran unusually fast. .' He looked at his watch and saw that the train was on time, but, supposing tiat-the engin eer knew his business, he" slid down'and set about making up the steam the lo comotive had lost. Whijn he had a moment's rest he looked up and saw that the train was making more thn GO miles an hour. - As he stood looking otit a red light flashed by, and after a moment an other. He glancod qustioningly at the engineer, who, in thee gloom of the cab, seemed to tie benching over the throttle. check her, Dan!'' c hv two red bugs." There was no anBwering movement from the engineer, and w'hen the loco motive had dashed past a third signal the fireman, understanding, finally, that something was wrong, climbed """ vi nl'g sake he called orrr. THE NEGLECTED WIFE Atlanta Journal. Professor Stewart Culin, curator of the Brooklyn snstitute Museum and one of the world's greatest ethnologists, has been divorced by his displeased wife be ciUBe he gave too much of his time and attention to scientific investigation and too little to her. Serves him right! In the tthusiasm and joy of her youth she though she was marrying not a cab inet of ethnological curios but a man. And if the man withdraws himself from AN EASIER WORD. There is a public school teacher in Brooklyn whose work lies in the heart of the negro Bection. Among her pu pils, says the New Vork Times, is one Andrew Jackson JohnBon,. who had lately been absent two weekB or more. Finally he returned, looking some what the worse for wear, and as a mat ter of course the teacher asked for his ' 'excuse. ' ' Thereupon Andrew handed out this note: der teacher Please be so kind as to excuse Andrew fo not gittin around he her and thrusts the other upon her she ! had the smallpox till today. has a right to protest and demand re lease. At least, the court has so held, and most people will indorse the de cision. The absorbed scientist may lose him self in his Btudies, forgetting that his wife has nothing to lose hfrself in but himself. While he glows with enthu over some discovery, she pines in lone liness. And the scientist is. by no means unique. Bueiness men and profes sional men make the same mistake. The absorption of a man in any pur suit making his life a success, often in volves neglect of his wife, making her life a failure. The distinguished ethnologist was very fond, of his wife. But he turned from her to his ethnology, ihe, like millons of other wives, bad reasonable Mrs. Johnson. "Smallpox!" cried the teacher, ex citedly. "Smallpox! Out! Go out, and take that note with you! The boy picked up the note and lied. Ten minutes, later, while the teacher and Lhe principal of the school were hunting up health-board regulations, a stout negro woman shu tiled into the otlice. "I'm Mrs. Johnson,'' she explained. "Vou sent my boy home kase I writ he h -d smallpox." "Get Out'" shrieked the teachers, in terrified chorus. "I jiat wanted fo' to tell you aul," continued Mrs. Johnson, backing to ward the door, "I jist wanted fo' to say dat Andrew didn't have no smalljiox." "He didn't '1" ' No'm, he didn't," Mrs. Johnson comfort, but, like million of other wives" allirmed. "He had ce'bo-spinalB-men-again, she wanted her huiband. and git us, but I disremembered how Women want attention. The atlen- to -pel; tnat, so 1 writ smallpox in the tion may not be of the tenderest srt, note. but they want it. The average wife would rather have beatings than neg lect. It is not the women wboee hus bands are coarse and abusive who go to the divon e courts as much a the women whose hu.-bands neglect them. There is but one thing worse for a wife than constant neglect, aud that is constant attention". The wise husband will avoid both extremes.
