Shanley, formerly of North Dakota, died at his plantation home on Bayou Baralla as the result of a relapse from ye"ow fever, hie illness extending over the last two weeks. Dr. Shanley came Sere with Ma family about three years ago fronv the northwest. Reports from the country: Patterson, nine new cases; one death Kenner. two new cases; one death. Bayou Natches. one suspected esse; one death Baratarta, one death. Amelia, two new cases. Gretna, one case: one aeain. v ma- wood, two new cases; one death. Results of Sanitary Campaign. The good results of the sanitary cam palgn, carried on In New Orleans under the leadership of the United States ftianne hospital service, are made patent in the recent health reports of that city for Sep tember and the first week of October. The campaign has been both practical and edu catlonal; intended, first, to Improve the sanitary condition of the city by draining ponds and other bodies of stagnant water, screening the cisterns and water tanks so as to prevent them from becoming breed ing places for the mosquitoes; cleaning the streets and gutters better, and removing trash from the houses and yards, and fumi gating all buildings wherever practicable, for the purpose of getting rid of all noxious Insects and disease germs; and secondly this, In an educational lino-the delivery of practical and, if possible, illustrated lectures showing the benefit and necessity of sanitation; what should be done, and how It should be done, in order to preserve the public health. These lectures In New Orleans, arranged and directed largely by the clergy and the women, were aimed mainly at the poorer and more Ignorant classes, the Italians, negroes and others who sinned against the laws of health through Ignor ance of what they ought to do, rather than through design. The result of this double campaign is seen In the recent health returns of New Orleans in the decrease not only of cases of yellow fever and deaths from that disease, but in sickness of all kinds. In August there were 217 deaths from yel low fever, of which 210 were whites; in Beptember, when the population of the city was larger many of ths summer wanderers having returned, the deaths from yellow fever numbered 111, of which 102 were of whites, a decline of more than one-half. Not only was there an Improvement In yel low ' fever,, but in all diseases. . The total deaths In August were 735, In September, 876 -158 lives thus saved by sanitation In a single month. Decrease In Death Rnte. The first week In October shows that the Improvement has been continued. The death rate In New Orleans for that week was only 18.42 per 1,000 for the total popu lation, and only 16.10 for the whites. This is a lower mortality than that of New York, Boston, Philadelphia or any other larger northern city, and much lower than that of the southern towns. There died In New Orleans during that week only 121 persons, eight of tha deaths being by. accident and eighteen from yellow fever, leaving only ninety-five from all other causes. Malarial fever, one of the curses of the south, was completely elim inated by better drainage, and the same is true of smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever and other contagious diseases, ousted by fumigation. There were only seven- deaths from all diseases of the lungs and respira tory organs, tuberculosis, pneumonia, bron chitis, etc., or less than one-quarter of the average, although it was a damp week with freauent rains. The result was due to better drainage and to fumigation, If the record then made cart be maintained for the year it will mean the saving of 2,500 lives annually In New Orleans and tho prevention of 26,000 cases of illness In that city. Such are the results of the sanitary cam paign in New Orleans, carried on under the stress of the yellow fever. This work, lead and directed by the marine hospital service, has not only checked the fever In New Orleans, but It has accomplished other health wonders there, and there Is a marked saritary Improvement throughout the sou h- west. Wherever Its Influence has been felt federal Intervention and control has not only proved effective In the matters of epidemics, but In spreading hygienic truths and in Improving sanitary conditions throughout the south showing how thous ands of lives and millions of dollars in property can be saved to the south an nually.
