Soon Over It Is to Be Hoped.
It is to be hoped that our quar
antine will be practically over now
in a day or two, in its stringent
form anyway. THE PROGRESS
still believes the trains could have
been allowed to run, had one of ,
our most experienced doctors been :3
placed on each, going as far as the i
State line each way, and with one
1 or two good ollficers to enforce his
i orders. Under this plan it would
have well paid our city to have 1
¶ paid Drs. Gray, Billiu, Ford,
Booth, Egan, Allen, Fisher or as t
i many of these as were necessary
$25 per day each. They were all
. here, we believe, during the epi
demic of 1873, and have had prac
tical experience in attending yel
low fever. And when it became
universally known that Shreveport
was sending out her most skillful
physicians to the the utmost bord
ers of our State, accompanied by
experienced and trained officers to
watch and protect our city, con
fidence would have been felt every
where, legitimate freight and pas
senger travel would have contin
ued and our business would have
been only partially curtailed. This
may sound silly to some people
and it may be a silly proposition,
but we have this consolation, it is
no more so than pr positions,
suggestions and opioions of some
physicians, said to be experts.
DIED.
Infant Eugenie B.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Leob have
sustained the loss of another babe,
, their infant daughter, Eugenia B.,
passing away Monday morning
at 8 o'clock. This is not the first
time that the dear parents have
- felt this kind of grief, but for all
that they are a kind which loses
none of their agony for their oft
;- repitition. All parents who have
0 born such a loss feel for those who
are passing under the rod, and
. THE PROGRESS editor, one of this
kind, extends his tenderest sym
pathy to them, now that their
;. burden sems so hard to bear.
Retail Dealers Association.
THE PROGRESS is pleased to
learn that the retail dealers of the
city have organized an association
for the protection of their interests
and the advancement of the sames
. This is something. this class of
merchants have needed for a long
time. "In union there is strength"
is an old proverb, but as true to
day as when first coined.
The wholesale dealers have
found such an organization in their
interest most profitable, as it has
: enabled them to protect themselves
- on many occasions, when without
this they would have been power
less, and the retailers can do the
same.
THE PROGRESS believes also that
"_kuth good to Shreveport gener

SAYS SHE IS A QUEEN.
American Girl Lay3 Claim to the
Throne of Sweden.
A bright, young American woman has
just commenced a remarkable suit.
which seems to establish the fact that
she is the present rightful queen of
Sweden. This remarkable claimant is
*.i iss Louise White, wvhose family is well
known in both society and in business
in Indian. territory. Miss White has
been traveling abroad for the last two
years in search of evidcnce to be used
in pressing her claim. She is at present
living in a suite of rooms in the Conti
nental hotel, in Stockholan. Her case
is familiar to the United States minis
ter at Stockholm, Maj. Ferguson. and

MISS LOUISE WHITE.
(Now in Sweden Pushing Her Claim to
the Throne)
has been discussed in the Swedish
newspaspers.
In preparing her case Miss White has
accumulated an immense amount of
documentary evidence. She claims to
be the lineal descendant of the great
and popular king of Sweden, Gustavus
Adolphus. It is a matter of history that
the present king of Sweden, Oscar II.,
cannot claim this distinction.
The various papers and documents
which Miss White has collected and
which she says will be put in evidence
at the proper time, establish her rela
tionship, it is claimed, to the older rulers
of the country. The last of this Amer
ican woman's ancestors to occupy the
1 throne of Sweden was King Gustavus
IV., who ruled from 1792 to 1809.
Unless Miss White disguises herself
as a Joan of Arc and successfully downs
the whole of Sweden before her sword
there is not much likelihood of her ever
getting near the throne. As a matter
of fact, a woman cannot reign over
; Sweden's people, the latter having so de
Sckled more than a century ago. After
r the dilsastrous efforts of the reigns of
Queen Christina and Elrica Eleanora in
the eighteenth century, Sweden came
to the conclusion that only male per
sons shall rule the country and its peo
ple, and only a revolution could change
e this rule of eligibility to the throne.
Army Rations in Turkey.
Correspondents who accompanied the
a Turkish army during the recent war
f with Greece refer often to the dietary
habits of the Turks. Pilau, or pilafli,
the national dish, receives great praise.
It is wihat we should call a chowder,
composed of laanb, rice, butter, al
monds, raisins, allspice, powdered
a mace, cardamoms, cloves, saffron, onion,
ginger, salt, whole black pepper and
dhiey. The but;ter~and onions are placed
9 in the bottom of an earthen pot; then
S a layer of rice, over which are distrib
Lt uted more onions, raisins and almonds,
sprinkled with suafron in water; then
e a layer of meat, and so on alternately
until the vessel is filled. Butter is then
poured over the whole, and the cover
of the pot is closed with paaSe so that
no steam may escape. It is placed in
an oven and cooited for l2iree hour.
