In harmony with the general turning to business, the Board of Health last night held ai meeting vto map out a plan of campaign on the fields of pub? lie hygiene.

Among other measures which came up for consideration, and were determined npon, was a thorough system of cleansing and disinfecting the city. y-: -t J. 1 There will be a house-to-house in spection, and wherever it may be found necessary to disinfect, that will be done. What Is of the greatest importance is that the citizens cooperate with the health authorities in tnis essential work. There bes been heretofore so much concealment attd obstruction by citizens when any san itary measures were attempted by the health officers that measures which should hsve been efficient and most valuable were, to a great extent, robbed of their efficacy.

THE ABKrVAI, PAGEANTS. Now that the glare and glitter of New Orleans great festival have given place to the sad and serious Lenten shades, it will not be out of place to take a brief review of what has been done during the two days of the celebration.

ly It Is one of the rery first requisites of a scenic, street pageant, as it is of a picture, that it must tell its own story. The spectator, may not know the special legend or Incident it is intended to represent, he must be able to" see from the; illustration itself the sort of information sought to be conveyed. If the subject expressed be humorous or serious, comic or tragic, or If it be a scene from the realms of the imagination, a theme from the wildest poetic fancies of romance, mythology or -fairyland, something at least of the intended meaning must be at once apparent from the illustrations themselves; It is not too much, to say, in respect to the publio pageants of Monday and Tuesday, the Carnival sodede outdid themselves, if thai were possible. Their several scenio panoramas and tableaux of living forms representing with mimic realism and gorgeousness of color the most opulent creations of the imagination were, nevertheless, so Intelligently as -well as artistically interpreted that even to the ordinary observer they told the' main features of their several stories. I.

The pageant of Proteus on Monday night reached the highest point- In the perfection of the art which created It The wildest dreams of fancy were presented In scenes from, an excursion into wonderland. Whether essaying to portray the wonderful creatures, risible and Invisible, with which the poets have vpeopled the air, the and the waters, all was done with so complete a comprehension of what wss required and such excellence of execution that nothing was left to be desired. It presented all the beauty, grotesque-ness and gorgeous coloring and fanciful imagery must be used ln essaying4 to illustrate themes of airy It won universal applause and did honor to its creators. Oa Tuesday, at noon, Eex gained another of his pictorial and panoramic Rex must contend with the garish lights of a meridian sun, but he was equal to the occasion. His pageant was .7 well conceived and intelligently carried out.

-It presented the Queens of the Harrest in appropriate forms and brilliant colors. If the subjects illustrated were In themselves familiar matters treated with so- much skill, and 'with so little! regard to commonplace; conyen-tionalities, that they were raised to the realms of art and gave great satisfaction to all beholders. Comus, with half a century of Carni-ral tame and Carnival triumphs to bis fuUrTindlcated 4, cn Tuesday night hie ancient prowess in the field of splendid pageantry and perfect panoramic presentation. His theme of scenes from Shakspeare was magnificently pictured. Those wonderful pages whereon; kings and clowns, the highest and the -lowest, vestals and courtesans, saints and the most rascally scapegraces, and all manner ef men and airy: spirits, and the stupid and sodden creatures cf earth, and the tninkle and pass and change as in- a kaleidoscopei were beautifully- Clus-.

trated. With these pageants, the Carnival was never more" worthily celebrated or more lavishly and presented in this city of magnificent pageants and splendid street parades, and the Picayune repeats that the CarniTal societies never; did themselves greate honor or gained more glory for their grand and generously given displays. There; was no lack of general and the presentation given by the revived Phunny Phorty Phellows on Friday night of last week assisted to introduce what was so magnificently to foltowv-f vU: And here the Picayune desirea to offer a word to the Phunny Phorty Phellows They are out the right road to if an make their parade a iriost valuable 'feature of the Carnival; but they will have to take note that nothing is more difficult In its' wa ihan to Create a funny show; -y There are in the world hundreds of literary magasihei of great excellence. In' poetry, fiction, history and pictorisl art they have reached the highest places in public favors but of the really Brst-clas funny periodicals there are; in the world but 'very few) The reason- for this is that they are more difficult than any others to maintain up to the highest standard. It is particularly difficult to illustrate: wit and humor pictorlally.

Oftentimes the peculiar flavor 'j or point of a satire evaporates or lost, in transferring it from words to lines and colors. Let the Phonies remember this. The most successful essays of sort consist in presenting caricatures of prominent or notorious persons in absurd and ridiculous situations. The faces and peculiarities of the persons represented should be faithfully copied. There should be nothing injurious or libelous in the pictures; but they should possess the spirit presented in the finest cartoons of Puck, Judge and life, which are among the most famous humorous illustrated journals.

In the world. "Let the Phortlee profit by this suggestion, and their display will 'rise to a high pke in public esteem. VJtJVST gVJSPICXOlVS ATPAREirrXT ILli-FOTJirDED. It appears, from the dispatches received yesterday, that such discoveries as hare been made by. the divers as to the' causes of the destruction of the battle-ship Maine at Havana indicate that the accident; theory will hare to be abandoned.

Of course, nothing, official has been made public; but it is entirely possible that some of the facts of the discoveries made the divers have leaked out. No matter what may. be discovered in the course of the explorations now in progress. It may be set down as established that no connection with the disaster will be traced to -the local Spanish authorities. There win not be any effort to do.v?.s,i.,::'i:r.rVi If it shall be shown that the ship was destroyed froni the it will vindicate the surviving officers and men, and the dead officers and men, from the imputation wMch was so promptly placed on them by many high in authority that either they had been guilty of some gross negligence or mismanagement In the cart of the ammunition and explosives on board, or that there had been some fatal defect in the of the ship which everybody; concerned had 'overlooked; If it shall come to pass that the officers of the lost crew, or that the constructors' of thr ship and the officials who inspected and accepted her from the builders, are innocent of.

the crimes Imputed to them, there ought to be no delay In giving out officially the information that will clear the memory of the dead and the reputations of the living. It is a curious phase of character that so many of the American people seem always so and trilling to believe the worst of their countrymen, instead of giving them the benefit of a doubt. From the very first announcement of the destruction, of the til-starred battle-ship, it was given out to the press that the authorities at the Navy Department held that the fatal explosion In all. probability, the result, of an accident from within the ship. If tiiis theory should prove to be false, it should teach the American people to think better of their sailors and ships; and not to condemn them upon mere vague suspicion.

SEITSATlOICAl, KEWS-OATHEKISG. The efforts of the sensational papers of certain of the large Nothern cities to outstrip each other; in' publishing high-colored stories concerning the Maine -disaster would be laughable were it not for the fact that they do great injury to business, and have a tendency. to complicate "the relations of this country with Spain, and seriously impede the efforts' of diplomats to bring about a better feeling. It Is absolutely safe to say that rally ninety per cent of the. matter which 'is published about the Maine disaster is utterly unreliable and sensational.

Take, for instance, the so frequently made that the. officers of the ill-fated ship have expressed the opinion that she was destroyed through treachery. There is really no reason to believe that any of the officers of the Maine said anything of the is practically certain that they, have one and all refused to express any.eplnion until the disaster has been officially Investigated. Having worn the details of the Maine disaster threadbare, the sensational journals are how devoting much space to alarmist reports as to preparations being; made, by the Government fir war. At Washington all these storijs have; been Rigorously but o- cial deniala.do not appear to distr'b the sensationalist- the least.

The great cyclone was the wind storm experienced here on Saturday last which scarcely attracted any attention, and which resulted in nobody's death, nor In any greater dam age than the overturning of a couple of dilapidated The story was sufficient, to startle such of our citizens as now happen to be In New York, as was evidenced by' a letter received 'yesterday bjr a prominent business house here.
