Without the in tervention of frost, the spread of yellow fever over the entire State of Mississippi is a certainty. Each night's report indi cates how surely and rapidly the disease it getting the whole State into its clutch es. Two counties are added tonight to the list of infected ones,, making a to tal of seventeen counties, or nearly 23 4per cent of the whole number. These are -Pearl River and Perry, both in the south . eastern portion of the State. The continuance of the present warm j weather will guarantee a further spread, -which the resources of the State board seem unable to stop. The disease is firm ly rooted in all the different sections of Mississippi, and its nppearance In coun ties adjoining those already in the grasp of the fever Is only a question of a short time. The State board of health despaired of confining the Infection and is now de voting itself more to the general work ot relief and securing nurses for the ; atricken places. At the capital the work J ot enrolling Immune nurses under the Howard Association goes on. Many have been gotten Irom Aevr urieans ana Memphis.

About $2,000 was yesterday raised in Memphis for general distribu tion ln the shape of food and supplies.

The spread of the fever in the south eastern part of tho State has caused an other road to totally abandon business.

A gruesome Illustration of the state of public feeling was reported tonight by Dr. Harrison, health officer of Leflore County. A. tramp entered the neighbor hood of Philip, a small inland town in that countj'. three days ago. He was taken sick and sought refuge in a col ored church, where he remained two days before he was discovered and his aick fiefs diagnosed by Dr. Jackson as yellow fiver. The whole neighborhood was in a panic Jackson wired for an expert to opxae and confirm the diagnosis. None of the citizens -would go to care for the p,a tient.

SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. Civil War II croc to Be 'Honored In Stone and Broue. Active steps are being taken for the erection in this city of a massive and handsome monument in honor of the private soldiers the men behind the guns In both the regular and volunteer armies of the Civil War.

There are many statues here of gen erals and admirals, but none commemo rative of the bravery of the private sol dier, say those who are working in be half of the project. The erection of this beautiful tribute is in the hands of the National Monument Association of the Disrict of Columbia, and the financial secretary of that or ganization. Col. Marion T. Anderson, has made an appeal for contributions to the monument fund. AX the recent national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Cin cinnati resolutions were unanimously adopted in favor of the building of the proposed monument at the National Capi tal "to the soldiers, sailors and marines of the "War of the Rebellion." The reso lutions state that the construction of thJg .jte in marble and metal "is a high national duty, one that should strongly commend Itself to the heart of every patriotic man and woman in the country, and a, duty the performance of which should be entered upon at once and pushed forward with the greatest energy that Its execution may bo in time to gratify the great number of veterans before they pass from earth." The resolutions approve the plans of the National Reunion Monument Asaocla- Uon of the D,3lrlct of Columbia and con. cJude m thege words. We earnestly appea, to every veterailf wIdow sm and daugMcr o a vet. eran in the United States to give hc project his or her strongest sympathy ana support, and all assistance possible ln the wa ot raising contributions.

Any honest physician -will tell you that there Is but one way to get increased flesh; all the patent medicines and cod liver oils to the contrary notwithstand ing. Nature has but one way to increase flesh, strength and vigor, mind and body, and that is through tho stomach, by wholesome food, well digested. There is no reason or common sense in other method whatever. People are thin, run down, nervous, pale, and shaky in their nerves simply because their stomachs are weak. They may not think they have dyspep sia, but the fact remains that they do not eat enough food, or whaff they eat Is not quickly and properly digested, as it should be. Dr. Harlandson says the reason Is be cause the stomach lacks certain digestive acids and ppptones. and deficient secre tion of gastric juice. Nature's remedy in. such cases is to supply what the weak stomach lacks. There are several good preparations which will do this, but none so readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are de signed especially for all stomach trou bles, and which cure all digestive weakness on the common sense plan of furnishing the digestive principles which the stomach lacks. Stuart's Dyspepsia Targets give perfect digestion.

The steamer Fern, which has just been acquired by the District naval militia, has been used in the navy principally as a dispatch boat between Washington, New York, Boston and Key "West Dar ing the war she also made several voy ages to Cuba. The Fern became historic owing to the fact that she conveyed to Havana harbor the naval commission which investigated the blowing up of the battleship Maine. It was ln the spacious cabins of the Fern that most of the sessions of the j commission were held. During the "Winter the District naval brttalion will have practice drills on the steamer, and -next Spring and Summer she will make several cruises down the Potomac in the Chesapeake and probably go to sca. The Fern Is armed with rapid-fire guns, and the District sailors will utilize .them for gunnery practice during the. ensuing Fall and "Winter months. The records of the Navy Department show that the Fern was built at New York In 1S7I.J She Is 160 feet In length: 2S feet beam; 11 feet 91-2 Inches draught; S40 tons displacement, and a propeller.

Leather on Leather. A new style of embroidery, which commends Vitkelt to those in search of substantial' -needlework, is done with leather on leather. Chair cushions, hammock ..cushions, borders for heavy table covers and portieres are among the many ' articles for which it Is used. The gnnind-work Is as a rule of some dark, rioh-colored skin, and the work Is done with thf: lighter shades. A border for a handsome pair of por tieres is 'of maroon leather, on which Is worked- an upright row of fleur de Us in yellow 'leathers, with stems and leaves of fgrtfen. The effect is very handsome 'and unusual. A chair cush ion which "wa3 made to correspond with a library furnished In quartered oak and Malachite, is of green leather, with tho head of a huge tawny lion worked in. The work is not difficult if one can. believe those who have made a study of It, and, most of all, re quires practice. The pattern is first sketched on the leather foundation, then gone over with a keen-bladed instrument made for the purpose, and outlined by tiny slits and holes. "It is into these Incis ions that the working leather, which is cut into strips of various widths, is drawn, thus forming the design. This working leather can be had in almost as many shades as embroidery silk, and is remarkably jillabe. The needles used are coarse bodkins, with blunted points, and long, narrow eye3. Many smaller articles. Intended as Christmas presents for men, are being made, and the work .seems particularly well adapted to such use. Destruction of Cervera's Fleet to Be Rehearsed. POSITIONS OF THE SHIPS A Hoard of Xnvnl OHIcern Ordered to Convene nt TouiiiUiiisville to De termine the 1'lnecn Occupied Uy the American VcmscIm During the Suvnl Huttle Off SnntiuKO. Secretary Long has directed the as sembling of a board of naval officers at Tompkinsvllle, which will thoroughly in vestigate the questions affecting the right of Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson to I the promotion that has been gven him. The board will also determine finally the positions occupied by the cruisers Brook lyn and New York during the naval light which resulted in the destruction of Cervera's ships.

The board was originally appointed by , Rear Admiral Sampson shortly after July 3 to determine the question of posl- ' tlons assumed by the ships during va- ; rlous stages of the battle. Just at that tim there was a great deal of criticism in America over his action in sending to the department the cablegram announc ing that "the fleet under my command destroyed Cervera's fleet."

It is understood that Admiral Schley will submit evidence as to the positions of the cruisers and the signals each new during the engagement. Friends of Rear Admiral Sampson are sanguine. They claim that a the New York rush ed in chase after the armored cruiser Cristobal Colon, she passed the Indiana, which wa3 ordered to rcum to the mouth of the harbor of Santiago, and the Iowa, which was directed to rescue as many of the Spaniards as possible, and that subsequently the Brooklyn was sent to Investigate the report that a Spanish warship was approaching. A chart prepared by Lieut. F. Hael ler, ordnance officer of the Texas, which he submitted to the commanding officers of the ships -which participated in the bat tle, shows rather clearly the varying po sitions of all the vessels during the entire engagement. When the Iowa first flew the signal of tho appearance- of the Spanish ships, the Brooklyn dashed In toward the mouth of the harbor, but instead of turning to the westward parallel to the course taken by the Spanish ships, she turned, acord ing to the chart to the eastward away from them, descrmea a. circle ana tnen ran to the westward on the line parallel j with mem. out. ouisiue ol me vjreKo, Xexaa.and Iowa, which had steamed in toward the mouth of the harbor and then had turned so as to run parallel with the shore and the fleeing shios. Furthermore, officers of the Oregon claim that If it had not been that the officers and crew of the Colon reared their 13-lnch shells the ship would not have been surrendered at the time she was. The department will be very glad to have the matter settled before the meeting of Congress. It Is appreciated that Rear Admiral Schley's friends propose to continue their efforts to secure for him the thanks of Congress, and that such action would be a virtual condemnation of Rear Ad miral Sampson.
