ARE STILL SkEPTICAL.
Government Officials Say 1t is q Quee
Variety of Yellow Fever.

Government Ohicials Say 1t is q Queer
Variety of Yellow Fever.
WASHINGTON, Sept. SIN addition to
DIR. Guiteras, Doctors Murray and Car
ter, also yellow fever experts, have been
ordered by the Marine hospital authori-
ties to the scene of the epidemic at
Ocean Springs. .
The officials at the surgeon general g
Office are quite anxious that DR.. Cult
eras should be on the ground as soon as
possible, as they think so much of his
opinion in yellow fever cases as to be
guided entirely by it in their action.
So far their advices are confirmatory of
the press reports that the epidemic is Of
the nature of yellow fever. Still it is
evident that even yet they are not en-
tiHely confident of the correctness of the
reports received. They say that if the
disease is yellow fever, it is very strange
that out of 600 cases, there should have
been only IL deaths.
The treasury department has pro-
cured 300 tents from the war depart
ment for use at the permanent yellow
fever detention camp, which has been
established at Waynesboro, Ga. There
are no fever patients there, but the
camp has been established as pre-.
cautiOnary measure.

SCOURGE is CHECKED
No New Case of Yellow Fever
Makes Its Appearance in
New Orleans.
One Death at Ocean Springs,
Miss, With Symptoms OF
the Disease.
Latter Place Entirely Isolated
and Serious Suffering
Is Certain.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8.-Night fell
case of yellow fever having been re-
ported to the board Of health. But one
imported case thus far has been devel-
oped here and death has wiped that
out. The board of health declares that
in spite Of all reports to the contrary
not one of the many who had come
hither from Ocean Springs have been
stricken with the fatal disease. Physi-
clans are promptly reporting cases of
fever that come under their observa-
tion. DR.. Walmsley said four or five
doubtful cases had been reported and
that members of the board Of experts
had Investigated them all. In none of
them was there trace or symptom OF
yellow fever.
Ocean Springs Isolated.
Only one additional death has been
reported at Ocean Springs with symp-
toms of yellow fever. No new cases
had been reported during the afternoon.
Ocean Springs has now been absolutely
cut off from the outside world and the
only means of reaching the town are by
wire or mail. Serious suffering is GER
tain to follow. It was said during the
afternoon there was only one ton of ice
in the town and there was no way to
get more. Ice is necessary where fever
RACES. Physicians at the Springs get
but little rest and it is not so certain
the medical supplies will not soon be
exhausted, but in the course of a day or
two means will be found whereby re-
lief will be supplied.

WEST is PROSPEROUS.

So Says Secretary Wilson, Summing Up
His Observations.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Secretary
Wilson was at lis desk in the agricul-
tural department. during the day for the
first time for month, having just re-
turned from his tour of the transmits
sissippi states. He went as far west as
Montana and Utah, giving especial at.
tention to the agricultural interests of
the states visited, with particular atten.
ton to irrigation, horse raising and
sugar beet growing. 81 found the
farmers in especially good spirits wher.
ever I went" he said. .sThere is nc
doubt that confidence is restored and
that the country is justified in its an.
ticipations of better times. The people
are all busy in the West. Indeed, I dc
not believe there is an idle man west OF
the Mississippi who wants work.

Colorado Democrats Nominated a Man
Who Led Bolt for Cleveland.
DENVER, Sept. S.-There is conster-
nation among the Democrats over the
discovery that the state convention
which met here, nominated Cleveland
Democrat as candidate for justice OF
the supreme court. The nominee, John
A. Gordon of Trinidad, took an active
part in the Pueblo convention in 1892,
and led the boilers from the convention
after it repudiated Grover Cleveland,
on account of his position on the money
question. Many of the delegates voted
for the nomination Of Gordon in ignor-
ance of his record and have no hesitancy
in expressing disgust at their hasty ac-
ton, which was taken in their anxiety
to prevent the endorsement of the Pop
ulist nominee, w. FL. Gabbert.

LONDON, Sept. S.-The Marquis of
Salisbury's latest proposal for the set
Element Of terms of peace between
Turkey and Greece is generally re-
garded as victory of German diplo-
macy, and much bitter feeling is dis
played in England over the British
premier's backdown. A fresh proposal
was what Germany had been holding
out for, namely: The control of the
Greek revenue interest of all the credit
ors of Greece, as well as for the security
Of the loan to Greece for the purpose Of
paying her indemnity to Turkey.

Details of the Treaty of Peace Will Be
Settled in a Day or Two.
CONsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 8.-The only
remaining question in the treaty of
peace is the dates for the payment of
the indemnity. The powers desire to
insert these dates in the treaty of peace,
but the British ambassador suggests
that they leave the dates to be deter
mined upon by the international COM
mission. The ambassadors expect that
all the details of the treaty Of peace
will be settled on Thursday next. Lord
Salisbury's proposal for the constitution
Of an international committee repre-
senting the six powers to assume con-
troll Of the revenues for the indemnity
payment was accepted.
A dispatch from London says: The
correspondent of the Times at Constan-
tinople telegraphed that owing to a
note from Count Muravieff, the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs, in.
timating that Great Britain was respon-
sible for the ''incalculable evils from
which Greece and Turkey are suffering
through the delay In the conclusion Of
peace between the two countries, +"
the Marquis of Salisbury submitted
fresh proposals for the settle
ment of the permanent peace be-
tween Turkey and Greece, namely
he constitution of an international
commission, representing the six
powers, under whose control Greece
shall pay her revenues guaranteeing the
interest to the holders of old bonds and
to the holders of the bonds of the in
demnity loan, this step to be followed
by the prompt evacuation Of Thessaly
by the Turkish troops.
A dispatch from Vienna said the
Politische correspondent ANNOUNCED
that Greece had abandoned her opposi.
ton to the demands of Germany re.
garding the control Of Greek finances.

Years ago railroad travel wasn't as
well developed as it 1t to-day. A pas
senger on the old Peninsula railroad,
between Battle Greek and Lansing,
Mich, tells o; q ride he took many years
ago. Not only was the road rough and
dangerous. but. after going for some
time at d snail's pace, the train stopped
suddenly In the midst Of a deep forest
For half an hour the engine puffed ell
ergeti,.ally, but the train did not start
At last the passengers grew discOurag
ed and got of TO see what the matter
WAS They found that the fireman had
run out Of fuel, having used his las1
stick Of wood. Accordingly the train
men and passengers went OF into til.
woOIS. picked VI, Fallen limbs and lOgs
dra Geed teen W to the track and load
ea taem into the tender. At last the
fireman got up steam enough to blow
the whistle; the passengers climbed
aboard and the train started. In few
minutes however. 1t stopped again.
Two of the leaders Of the wood cru
sade went out and found several cows
lying on the track in front of the en-
gine. They helped the brakeman drive
them off and then the train started
again, finally pulling into Lansing safe
and sound.
Not much like railroad travelling to-
day, was It!

Traced Back.

A recent writer attempts to trace ta-
BILE utensils-mOst of them OF recehs
introduction-tO their origin.
The Romans, he declares, took their
meals lying on very low couches. ana
II was not until about the time of Char
Iemagne that q stand was used round
which guests were seated on cushions.
while the table made its appearance IN
the Middle Ages, and with 1t came
benches with backs.
The Greeks and Romans ate from a
kind Of porringer, yet during a portion
Of the Middle Ages slices Of bread cut
round took the place Of plates.
The spoon is very ancient, and many
fine specimens are in existence that
were used by the Egyptians In the sew
enteenth century b. G.
The knife, though very old. had not
come into common use as q table uten-
sil In the tenth century.
The fork was absolutely unknown to
the Greeks and Romans. and appeared
as a curiosity In the Middle Ages, and
was first used upon the table by Henry
III.
Drinking cups-in the Middle Ages
made from metal more or less precious
naturally date from the remOtest an
tiquity.
The use of glasses from Venice be-
gan to be general in the fifteenth cen.
tury.
The salt cellar appeared at n very
early date, and occupied the place of
honor at the banQuets of the Greeks
and Romans. many Of them being
made Of gold and silver and richly
chased.

The BALLAD Of MAJOR MAHeEA

Major Mahone was Us gallant man
As ever looked into a gun;
They say he was one of the last to re-
treat
When things went wrong at Bull Run.
he fought and be bled in the Wilderness,
He waded the Rapidan;
Whenever a rebel saw Major Malone
He threw down his musket and ran.
High up at window a maiden once
stood,
The flames and the smoke swept around:
Despair filled her breast as she gazed ut
the crowd
Twas seventy feet to the ground:
A hero rushed up through the fiery mass,
The death demon howled for his own.
But the fear-stricken maiden was snatch
ed from his teeth
By the valorous Major Malone.
With the heart of a lion all the dangers
he met:
He knew not the meaning of fear;
In peace and in war he was dauntless-
and yet
We must shatter the idol right here;
The man who had rushed into ruins en-
brace.
Who had bled on the bullet-swept field,
When the dentists cold forceps were
thrust In his face,
Forgot all his valor and "squesled-"
-Clsv Gland Leader.

Never had a pleasanter case in my
life," he chuckled. You know what
big, powerful fellow Sens is. Never
was sick day and has always derided
the idea that pain was q thing to make
such fuss over as Is made by some
people. Even his wife and children
never got any sympathy from him and
he was always ready to give them IA
good going over for not displaying
more stoicism.
Tuesday morning about 2 O'Clock
there was a terrific ringing at my tele
phone. On answering 1t I was urge,.
by an agitated voice to hasten to SENS
as quickly as possible. 1t was q case
of life and death. Getting there post
haste l found that great big fellow
walking the foor In his night robe,
groaning so that he could be heard any
to the whole household, looking pale
as a ghost, and stopping every few
minutes to hold up one foot while he
howled. His head wa, enveloped IN
towels and one side of it steamed with
hot poultIces. He sailed into me for
not getting there sooner, said that half
the people died whlle waiting for n
doctor, jawed his wife because she
hadn't sense enough to tell him that he
had no slippers on, and then told her
to call a lawyer 30 he could put his
affairs into shape. l vetoed this until
we found out whether there was any
thing the matter.
"'Anything the matter? echoed
SENS. Great heavens, man, the side
Of my heads coming OF. l can't last
till daylight in this torture. No mortal
ever suffered such agony. If you're go
ing to do anything. do 1t quick. My
own opinion Is that I'm done for,' anil
he let out the loudest howl Of the night.
What do you think was the matter with
the big calf? Earache; just common,
old fashioned earache. His little girl
had had 1t worse and gone to school
with a piece Of cotton in her ear. I
fixed him up and then told him II h.
happened to prick his finger with a pin
or bump his shin against chair, not TO
hesitate to call me out Of bed, even If
there was a blizzard."-Detroit Free

several Of the hah-dozen different col
ored disks Of various sizes which are
furnished with the top over the cAnter
mouthpiece, fat on the disk part Of the
top, and they will revolve with vary

Any one with a little ingenuity can
make any number Of colored disks,

them to it, and obtain many different
effects ranging through all the cardinal
