New Orleans Taking Every Precaution
to Check the Disease
NEW ORLEANS, July 20.-The Board Of
Health last night adopted a resolution
advising the Governor to issue a procla-
nation establishing quarantine against
all Mexican, South American and West
India ports, to take effect Immediately.
No infected vessel, nor any vessel having
had yellow fever or cholera on board. will
be allowed under any circumstances
to come to the city, nor will any person
on board such a vessel be permitted to
visit the city. A resolution was also
adopted requesting the Governor of Illi-
nOiS to forbid DR.. Ranch, the Health Off
Ger of that State, from intermeddling in
sanitary affairs and to cease his designing
efforts to impair public confidence in the
Louisiana State Board of Health.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-The Depart
ment of State has telegraphed the United
States Consul at Vera Cruz to advise all
vessels bound to Southern ports in the
United States to stop at Ship Island for
inspection in order to avoid being sent
there from their port of destination by the
health authorities.
HAVANA, July 20.-The steamer CITY of
Washington, which has arrived here from
Vera Cruz, and which is to sail for New
York on Saturday, is kept isolated and
under observation in the harbor, owing to
the fact that there are twenty-seven sick
persons among her passengers and crew.
One death occurred on the passage from
Mexico. The character of the sickness is
not well defined, but it is believed to have
been caused by drinking water takeu on
board at Vera Cruz. When the steamer
left that port there was no sickness on
board. When she touched at Progreso
five or six cases of sickness were reported,
and the number increased to otwenty-seven
on the passage to Havana.

THE COMP PANY'S PART

Another Declaration that No COmDro-

New York Reported to be Picking I'm
Fast
NEW YORK, July 20.-At 10 O'Clock this
morning there were singularly few evil
dences of the strike about the Western
Union building. There was the usual ac-
tivity about the receiving windows. but
nothing more. None of the strikers an
peared either in the basement or in the
operating rooms. The executive depart
ment was early on the ground and full of
business. Not small part of their occu-
patton was the reading of congratulatorv
and encouraging kilograms from various
offices, and the Superintendents of the
Company. Most noteworthy of these was
that from General Superintendent R. C.
CloWTy, sent late last night from Chicago.
Col. Clowry's is the largest and most i'm
portant district in the country, covering
the entire West as far as the Pacific
coast. He reports as follows: ''The sit
uation is improving rapidly. st. Louis
has a full force, and the Southwest is
loyal. At the principal points in Texas.
The whole force returned to work at St.
Joseph, Mo-, stating that they had been
deceived. Five of them will return at
Evansville, and five or six will 90 back
in the morning at Cleveland. All the
force at Columbus. o., are in the union.
but they refused to strike"
Superintendent Miller, at Cincinnati.
reported business clear last night except
for Memphis. He says that everything is
''up" at Cleveland and Detroit.
superintendent Wallick, of the Indian
apolis district, says that everything is
very solid and that business is up in his
district.
Superintendent Dickey, of Omaha, re-
ports that his offices are well manned,
superintendent ClOwry adds: ''We have
more men in Chicago tonight than we
can use and they are still pouring in.''
In the operating room in New York there
were this morning about three hundred
operators. The manager stated that every
principal wire in the office was manned
by competent operator, and that they
mad at that hour more men than they
could md work for. Constant accessiOns
OF operators were being received and
there was no delay of any kind of busi-
ness. The most encouraging part of the
situation to the local authorities was the
TACT that every wire was manned at the
oUu0l Gnu 40 wen dS mere. ana tnaG no
time was wasted in securing answers to
calls. The cable wires have suffered no
stOppage or interruption.
Several of the Western Union branch
offices were reopened this morning, and it
is expected that more will be opened TO
accommodate the public.
The subcommittee of the Western
Union Executive Committee was in ses-
sion again to-day, but nothing was done
that would be diyulged. The officers of
the company stated positively that the
company would not yield, but would fight
it out to the bitter end.

COnkIing and the Shorthand Men.

To report Mr.. COnkling is one of the
cOmpensating features in the life of the
stenOgrapher. Whether he Is making a
speech or putting five-folio question to
a witness in a railroad case, he speaks
deliberately, distinctly, and always gram
maticallY. When returning TO the exami-
nation of a witness after debating a con-
tested point, he very often begins with
the word question" prOnOuncing it with
a marked rising infection on the
first syllable, a marked falling in
Election on the second, and with
the syllables distinctly separated.
When it is necessary for him to
preface his question with an explanation
Of considerable length, he separates the
explanation from the interrOgatory with
the words, ''My question is this.v Some
times he punctuates for the stenOgrapher.
as When repeating a question to-day he
turned 10 the stenOgrapher and said, 's'The
question Is Did you dissent to the fact

he considers of great importance. he leans
forward toward the witness, beats off the

ONLY HALF A ROMANCE.
Saving an Heiress' Life, but Marrying
Poor Girl.


Miss Millie COOmbs. beautiful orphan
Of seventeen, and an heiress with some
100000 in her own right, arrived here
from st. Louis with her aunt on Monday
of last week. They found that at the
West End, at which it was their inten-
tiOn to stop, no rooms could be obtained,
so they took rooms temporarily at the
Morris Cottage.
Just before sundOWn the other evening
Miss COOmbs, accompanied by two ladies
and a male cousin, went into the surf
The surt was somewhat rough, but Miss
COOmbs did not heed it. When about 200
feet from her companions a scream from
the young lady told everybody that she
was in danger. The young man. her
cousin, hastened with the other two ladies,
who were on the point of fainting, to the
shore. In the meantime the keeper
launched the lite-DOat and rOwed to the
girl. The screams ceased, and it was be-
lieved that the sea had swallowed her.
Suddenly. a dark object was seen to
mount a wave and a cry was heard,
'.Here, Here.' The boat was directed
towards the spot, and two persons climbed
into il. They were Miss COOmbs and her
rescuer, William Whittlesey, who had
been swimming some distance out in the
sea.
Before the boat reached shore Miss
COOmbs was cool and collected, pouring
out her thanks to her brave rescuer.
When she reached the arms of her aunt.
who was standing on the beach, a shout
went up from the crowd. The cousin of
Miss COOmbs approached young Whittle-
sey, shook him heartily by the hand and,
placing a well filled wallet in Whittlesey's
hand, said: "Here, take this
''Oh, no." replied the young man, Il
only did my duty" and all the per-
suasiOns could not tempt the young man
to accept the prOffered wallet. The young
man was persuaded to accompany Miss
COOmbs and her friends to their cottage,
where he blushed like a school girl under
the praises poured upon him. He finally
consented to accept a gold watch and
cham. which the girl he saved will pur-
chase for him. Whittlesey is twenty-One
years of age and is a clerk in a railway
office at Iowa City.
To a reporter Miss COOmbs said: 81
have been dying all my life to be the vic
tim of some real good romance, and l
guess l have got one that will last me for
some time"
The ladies who heard the story eX-
claimed that it was real shame that Mr..
Whittlesey was engaged to be married to
an estimable young lady residing at Sioux
City. The young heiress herself at first
did not seem to like it, but it is said OBJ
tanned young Whittlesey's consent to stand
as bridesmaid at his wedding. There is
every likelihood that young Whittlesey
will start out on his voyage with much
better prospects than a railroad clerks
salary can give.

The Pleasure of Business.


No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is satisfied
without an aim or purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not in the
mere accumulation of riches, but in being
able to acquire wealth with a disposition
TO apply 1t in such manner that it shall
be comfort and blessing to others-not
in the mere giving away of money, but
In putting people in a way to labor
and help themselves. There is no
pleasure in oppression. There is
no joy in grinding and eXacting gold from
the poor, but there is a great deal of
genuine satisfaction in being able to Of
fer steady and honorable employment to
the many willing hands that have nothing
to do. One of the greatest enjoyments Of
the prosperous business man consists in
being able to comfortably provide for the
many employees in his house and manu-
factory. In doing this he is fulfilling his
obligation to society; he becomes a useful
and honorable citizen; business TO him
is real pleasure; he enjoys his success,
when 1t is fairly won because he feels that
he deserves 1t.
When a business man has the right kind
OF purpose in life be enjoys his occupa-
tion, he feels just and worthy pride in
his prosperity, he is pleased with the re-
spect and gratitude of those whom he Ci-
rects and controls in the management Of
his affairs, and he feels that in benefting
himself he is comforting favor upon

A Sensational Tragedy.

LONDON, July 20.-The town of Bedford
is in the greatest excitement over lawn
tennis tragedy A party were playing
lawn tennis near Ship Inn, at st. Cuth-
bert's, in the centre of the. town. Among
the players were Mr.. Devere, a Young
army officer, and Miss Mckay, an ex-
ceedingly pretty young lady twenty years
of age. Suddenly, and without apparent
provocation, Devere pulled out revolver
and shot Miss Mckay dead. He then
blew out his own brains. Both victims
are well known in society, and in both
cases the only surviving parents are wild
ows: 1t is believed that jealousy was the
motive for the crime.

HOW CROOK WAS CAPTURED.
The General Explains How He Secured
Peace in the Apache Campaign.

Ahe UeherdI Explains HOW He Secured
Peace in the Apache Campaign.
Washington Special Neao York World 16tl.
A gentleman who was present says that
at the Crook conference between the Sec
retaries of War and of the Interior. Com
missioner Price. head of the Indian
Bureau, asked Crook whether it was not
true, as reported, that he had been practi-
cally captured by the Chiricahuas, and
had only succeeded in getting back by
bringing them with him, promising to put
them back on the San Carlos reservation.
and that General Crook admitted that to
be the fact
General Crook explained that, trusting
TO the faithfulness of his Apache scouts.
he did not take large enough contingent
OF white troops, and the Apaches proving
unfaithful, he was in hot water from the
time that he crossed the border. He re-
allied that only the most polite course
would prevent HIM and his white soldiers
from being massacred, and that he must
employ cunning measures in order to get
back with the semblance of honor, so he
marched right on surrounded by watchful
foes. The scouts insisted on dividing all
the duties of the march with the white
soldiers and Crook had to let them do as
they desired.
Arrived at the refuge of the fugitive
Apaches, Crook used his personal in
nuenCe Win I1e SCOUTS, asking them to
induce the fugitiYes to return TO the
United States. He told them he was
man of peace and of honesty. He would
like to see wars end and peace come. He
was willing to guarantee the fugitives a
peaceful life on their old reservation if
they would return peacefully.
This suited the fugitives. They knew
Crook to be honest, and We're willing to
take his word. The braves would not re-
turn with him, but they sent back some
of the squaws and children rather as spies
than as hostages.
Meanwhile the braves are waiting the
ratification Of Crooks agreement. When
the refusal of Teller to permit the hostiles
to come back to the reservation was teIe-
graphed west some of the scouts got wind
of it, and sent some of the sOuaWs with
the news to Mexico.
The fugitive braves may be on the war
path again.

AMERICAS TEAM AHEAD.
The British Team Eight Points Behind
in Three Ranges.

WIMBLEDON, July 20.-The Americans
at the two hundred yards range scored
352 and the British $40.
The total score of the English at five
hundred yards was $40, and the American
score at that range was 366.
Tine total scores of the 800 yards range
gave the Americans $50 and the British
354, making a grand total of 1,07S for the
Americans and 1910 for the British rifle
men. The former are thus points ahead
on the days shooting at the three ranges.
Rain fell constantly during the shoot
ing at the 200 and 800 yards, but ceased
when the firing at 600 yards began.
The middle squad of the Americans
shot with Remington rifles. The others.
used Browns rifles. The Americans say
that their firing was slow. One English
man and one American counted on the
wrong target, and each consequently
scored ''miss." The greatest cordially
prevails all around. The large crowd
cheered the Americans on their quitting
the ground at the close of the shooting.
The Americans are elated at their present
success. They were somewhat doubtful
of securing as many points as they did.

THE DUTY ON COTTON TIES.
The Convention of Exchanges Opposed
to Its Increase.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 20.-The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the National Cotton
Exchange, which has been holding it's
biennial session here, has been instructed
to prepare system of rendering crop re-
ports, which shall be uniform, to be sub
mitted to the constituent Exchanges,
and which will become the rule when ap-
proved by a two-thirds vote of the Ex-
changes. Gen. Dodge. of the Agri-
cultural Bureau, by invitation, addressed
the convention and explained in detail
the manner in which crop reports were
collected. He also stated that he would
try the system suggested by the conven-
ton in addition to that now in use. The
convention took up the reports of the
business and of other committees, and
after full and lengthy discussions on
various points the presented reports were
adopted. The report of the Committee on
Cotton Ties brought most of the members
to their feet, and the prevailing sentiment
was that strenuous efforts should be made
to prevent an increase of duty on this in
diSpenSable article, as such all in
crease would fall entirely on producers.
The members of the Exchange, having
completed their labOrs, left Old Point
Comfort this morning on the steamer Lu-
ray, of the Old Dominion line, for Nor
folk, and were taken in charge by the
Portsmouth Cotton Exchange. After Wis
ltlng various places of interest along the
water front they proceeded by the Nor
folk and Virginia Beach Railroad, just
completed, to Ocean Beach, a new sea-
side resort that promises to rival Long
Branch. An elegant collation. was served
in the newly constructed pavilion, and
after toasts were drunk, and addresses
made by President Allen, of Norfolk, eX-
President Gardner, of Mobile, John
Chatlee, of New Orleans, Mr.. Warren, of
Norfolk, and others, the party separated,
most of the members going to their re-
spective homes.
