THEODORE NOT A BLUFFER,
And When He Ordered tho New York City
Saloons Closed They Closed.

And When He Ordered tho New York City
Saloons Closed They Closed.
New York, July s.--This city yes
terday had somewhat the appearance
of Maine prohibition town. There
were fewer saloons doing business than
on last Sunday. Many which had
done a quiet business on previous
Sundays were closed yesterday beyond
all doubt. Many of the saloon pro-
prietors had been impressed by the
statement of President Roosevelt
of the police commission during
the week past, that the excise law
would be strictly enforced on Sunday,
and that any one caught violating it
would be arrested. President Roose-
velt had convinced the saloonkeepers
that there would be no bluff in en-
forcing the law, SO most of them, de-
cided not to take any chances. A few,
however, kept open, but, as on last
Sunday, they would not admit anyone
unknown to them.
Heretofore, on Sundays, in the hotel
cafes, small plates of cheese and
crackers were placed on every table
and any ybody who presented respecta-
BILE appearance could take seat and,
by eating, or pretending to eat some Of
the cheese or crackers, could get what
ever he called for to drink. This
was changed yesterday at all Of the
hotels. Patrons were handed menu
and requested to order something to
eat before anything to drink was
served to them. The famous tender.
loin district was no exception to the
dryness prevailing in other parts Of the
city and the Bowerv was practically
deserted. In many churches the min.
listers delivered sermons extolling the
crusade against the opening of the
saloons on Sunday.

and Dying Victims Of Smallpox.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July s.-About
twelve miles south of this city is the
levee camp of c. F. Degaris, though it
now contains only two tents. These
are in dense and muddy swamp. Its
desertion by all the former occupants
of sound health is due to smallpox.
A vigorous shotgun quarantine is
maintained. While the camp is on
Tennessee soil, a narrow strip of Mis-
sippi land intervenes, and it is to pre-
vent the crossing of this that the
guard is kept. In the tents are four
cases of smallpox, one of them q
corpse. Nothing can be done with or
for them, despite the desire of the
local health authorities to remove the
living patients to the pesthouse and
to bury the dead. The dead and dy-
ing are all negroes.
