YELLOW FEVER AT HAVANA.
Sick Soldiers Not Being Sent There
Formerly.

In his report to Surgeon General Wyman
for the week ended last Saturday, DIR. w.
F. Drummer, sanitary inspector for the ma
rine hospital service at Havana. says:
IT he deaths from all oavses are increasing
rapidly each week. The deaths from yell
low fever show a slight increase over the
preceding week OF the twenty seven
deaths from this cause twenty-five &C.
CURED among the Spanish soldiers and
sailors. While comparatively few eases
are reported as occurring among the crews
of war vessels, il is noticed that tho
largest man-of-war here has been removed
from the Havana side of the harbor to A
point in the open bay considered to be
farthest from infection. 1t has been the
policy of the Spanish government in the
last few weeks not to send sick soldiers
here from all parts of the island, as had
been done formerly. and this in a measure
accounts for the decrease of cases. Con-
yalesoents among the soldiers are being re-
moved rapidly to Spain. Recruits are not
&C ming over to take thr places, and it is
probable that there will be less of yellow
fever curing the following months than
for the corresponding time during the past
two Years. rhe weather conditions are
most unfaN orahle; intense heat during the
greater rart of the day, followed by heavy
rains which now fail to cool the atmos-
phere
A cabIegr an. to the surgeon general says
that DIR Bergen, United States sanitary in
spector at Havana, who was reported quite
i'll ten days ago, is improving. He has
pneumonia and congestion of the brain.

LICENSE FOR LAWN PARTIES
Proposition Made to Have Such Entertain
ments Pay Tax.
Described as q Growing EVIL and
Frequently an Annoyance-Aases-
sOr to Draft q Dill.

Lawn parties are growing evils. and
some means should be taken to regulate
them- So says Major Moore in his indorse-
ment Of a report upon the subject by Lieut..
Boyle Of the third precinct.
Assessor Trimble has given the report his
Endorsement and he will be directed by
the Commissioners to draft a bill whereby
license fee shall be charged for the priv
ilege of holding such entertainments
In Lieut. Boyle's report upon the subject
he says:
Since it has become generally known
that license is not required to give enter
tainments for gain, the proceeds to be used
Tor charitable or religious institutions or
societies, the number of entertainments
given where it is claimed the proceeds are
to be used as above mentioned has become
enormous
They given under the name of lawn
parties in lots and yerds, in residence
neighborhoods, that are not at all suitable
for the purpose, and are frequently an an
noyance to many who live within hearing
dis stance Of the music and hilarity of those
assembled, which often keeps them awake
until midnight and sometimes later.
Complaints Made.
There have been several complaints made
to me about it, but are unable 10 de-
termine where these lawn parties shall be
held. and can therefore give no relief. 1
would respectfully suggest that you bring
this matter to the attention of the honor
able Commissioners. with view of hav
Ing law enacted whereby a small license
fee may be charged for entertainments as
above mentioned. not source of reve-
rue, but simply 10 put them under the
control of the authorities. license 20 be
granted or rejected at the discretion of
the honorable commissioners, with a PEN
atty sufficiently severe to deter persons
from giving them without a license.
IF complaint is then made that they
are an annoyance in any locality license
could be refused. AS it IL now. they can
be given anywhere and everywhere, and 1
am under the impression that in many
cases the proceeds not used for the
purpose stated. / will also state that from
all that / can learn the same state of af-

section the map can be employed as a
guide. 1t SHOWS the route to be taken from
Juneau up the Lynn canal as far as the
Porcupine river, and gives much informa-
ton in detail which has not been hitherto
published. Gen. w. w. Duffied, superin-
tendent of the survey, directed the making
of the map.
The map is drawn to a scale of twenty
miles to the inch, and a table is appended

HOME MARKET THE BEST.
Wearing Apparel is Better and
Cheaper Here Than Abroad.

Il have been spending my time since 1
returned to Washington walking around
the streets with my mouth wide open in
establishment at the cheap prices that are
displayed on everything, but more particu-
larry on articles of wearing apparel"
So said Huh Smith, who has just returned
from a two years consular duty in Con-
stantinople, to Star reporter in front of a
big establishment yesterday afternoon.
Look at that he said, waving his hand
at the window where neglge shirts were
displayed with 6S-cent marks on them and
night shirts for 80 cents and hosiery, I'M
DEPARTMENTS, neckwear and similar things
at proportionately low prices.
II L go abroad again." continued Hub,
III never bring back that hundred dol
lars worth of wearing apparel by permits
sion of the Dingley tariff bill. All this talk
about being able to get clothes cheaper
abroad than you can in this country and
particularly in Washington, is NONSENSE
pure, unadulterated, ribald nonsense In
texture in cut. in finish, in workmanship,
the garments made in this country whether
Tor outside or inside wear, or which. if not
made here, are sold here, are superior TO
those which can be gotten abroad for any
thing like the same price. l tell you it is
astonishing, and the more I move around
town the more surprised l am"

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
RumOr of Call to DR.. Talmare So
Designated.

Nothing appears to be known in this
city about the rumored offer of Plymouth
Church of Chicago to the Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage, to fill the pulpit made vacant by
the illness of its pastor, Rev. Dr. Frank
w. Gunsaulus.
A Star reporter today inquired of Mr.
Sargent, an elder Of the First Presbyterian
Church, regarding this rumor The report
was in the form of news to Mr.. Sargent.
who replied:
50 far as the officers of the church know
there is no foundation for any report that
Mr. Talmage will leave the First Presby-
terrain Church. At the last session meeting
OF the board of elders held in June, Mr.. Tai
mage was asked regarding the truth of his
return to our pulpit in order that we might
be able to SUPPLY his place during his ah-
sence. He replied then that he expected
to be back in September, and SO far as we
know that is the way the matter now
stands"
When :ast heard from in this city Mr..
Talmage was at Chautauqua.

KEEPING HATS ON.
Many Appliances Patented. hut the
Long PIN Is Most Popular.

Many Appliances Patented. but the
Long PIN Is Most Popular.
Two persons have lately lost their eye
sight in London by having the sharp point
of hat pins run into their eyes by accident
One was the case of passenger on
coach next to lady with her hat fastened
by one Of these pins, and another was that
of a child who was injured while playing
with companion. AS a result of these
accidents the newspapers of the English
metropolis are making a warfare on the
use Of the long hat pin.
The most peculiar thing about the hat
pin question is the fact that while the
United States patent office has issued fifty
four patents for hat fasteners, the pin in
use Is one that has never been patented
These patents comprise every Imaginable
device for keeping a hat on woman's
head, from pin little more complicated
than the hat pin in common use to the
most intricate piece of harness for the
same purpose. But this great variety of
apparatus has had to give way In popu-
lsrity to the simple long pin used in the
feminine world for keeping hats on.

Stop Marching.
GENERAL STRIKE SITUATION

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 26.-There was
no food in camp Isolation at Plum Creek
for the strikers breakfast, and for the first
miners experienced the hardship of doing
without anything to eat.
The absence of provisions, however. will
not continue. 1t was due to break in the
arrangements, rather than any helpless
ness on the part Of the commissary de-
partment.
Capt Bellngham of the Plum Creek
camp sent two men into Williamsburg yes
terday afternoon to purchase supplies
They Were expected to arrive during the
night. but failed to show up until late in
the forenoon. Dinner was served in the
camp as usual
There was no marching INDUCED in by
the men in Camp Isolation. That vicinity
is in very quiet state. Both sides are
confident of victory, and are resting and
awaiting developments.
The miners are satisfied with the work
which is being done by the men who &C
over to Center every night, and have not
marched since last Monday.
the men at Center were out at early
hour doing active missionary work. The
deputies were not taken out to the cross
roads at am, as usual, and the road
was left completely unguarded.
They were satisfied with concentrating
about the towns of Center, GAINESVILLE and
Plum Creek.
Superintendent Samuel De Armitt, when
asked why the deputies had been with
drawn, said they did not need to stop the
marckers any longer.
He was confident that none of his men
who were now working could be taken out
Of the mine. The deputies would hereafter
be used only to guard the property of the

CATHOLIC INDIAN MISSIONS,
A New Plan of Establishment to He
Discussed.

Owing to the reduction of the congress
sional appropriations for Catholic Indian
missions it is stated that at the next meet
ing Of the Catholic archbishops, to be held
here in October, a new plan will be formu-
lated for the administration of the affairs
of the Indian missions SO far as they come
under the control of the Catholic Church
The plan that seems to have most support
is for the various archbishops who have
Indians under their supervision to under
take their education and civilization just
they do the care of their orphans. The
Catholic missions now receive but 40 per
cent of the amount allowed them three
years ago by Congress- and they find i;
impossible to keep up the old establish

The Rule Dismissed.

Judge Bradley today dismissed the rule
issued several days ago against Stephen
R. Collins. who is being sued for divorce
by Aurelia B. Collins in which Collins was
required TO show cause why he should not
be punished for alleged contempt of court,
it being charged that he disobeyed an or
der restraining him from molesting his
wife.
Mr.. o. D. Barrett, counsel for Collins,
showed to the court that the man had an
alteration with one Edelin,, in a visit to
his wife's residence, but that he did not
understand the courts order to restrain
him from visiting the house in the absence
of Mrs. Collins.
