A Damaging Hoax.
From the Galveston iTexnsl Nows.l

NA+N NNA' NNNNN NASA"of ANONosJ
Satisfied that the report emanating
from Washington of an epidemic spread
of yellow fever on the South Florida
coast must be greatly exaggerated, if
not wholly untrue, the News dispatched
for information to Lake City, the near.
est point to Key West accessible by tel
egraph. The result is the special from
Lake City given in our telegraphic col
umns. 1t shows that there is no unusual
or alarming appearance of yellow fever
either on the South Florida or the
Cuban coast. Indeed, it is thing
utterly unknown in medical annals for
epidemic yellow fever to visit any Of our
Gulf or Atlantic shores as early as
March Or April. The warning from the
Treasury Department with reference to
such a danger at Galveston, New Or
leans, Mobile and Pensacola is alto
getber gratuitous. 1t looks very much
as though the Department had lent itself
to the dissemination of a groundless
alarm, designated to turn trade from
our Southern ports

No Songs Heard There.

A recent traveller says: What always
impresses me more than anything else
in Egypt and Palestine has been the
entire absence of cheerful and exhilarat.
ing music, especially from the children.
You never hear them sing in the huts.
| never heard a song that deserves the
name in the streets or houses of Jerusa-
lem. One heavy burden OF voiceless
sadness rests upon the forsaken land.
The daughters of music have been
brought low. The mirth of the tabret
ceaseth; the noise Of them that rejoice
endeth; the joy of the harp ceaseth'

A supernatural incident is said to

Joyful, waa satisfying to the soul, and they went
home determined to stick it out to the starvation

1eayera think they must, but older mills will
support the three which are now closed BY pay
Ing them far proportion OF their probable

ity OF their surrender. The Directors own the
majority Of the stock, aud they viii see every

the request OF the operatives. The Eeduc-
ton from 81 cents to a cents. the rate
which all are now paying. took effect jan 1,
adoct the following Lis: of prices to takc eNec-
as soon ~ work il resumed 10 al tho mills hore-

spinning warp, Der 100 skeins, ~ cents; SPIN

and 1arping- room, and cloth-1oom. cue third OF

til snol resumption OF work no change Will be
made from the present price of labor. So It viii
bo seen that all tbs operators in the three mills

three mills are on strike. It IA not ques-
ton whether the mills can afford to
