MEN FOR OUR wARsHIPs.
1t May Soon he Possible to "Put None
Hut Americans ON Guard"

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. January T.
That American warships can at last be
manned by American seamen is demon
strated in the case Of the new cruiser

ready for sea at Philadelphia. Secre-
tary Herbert announced to-day that re-
port from Commander Cooke. commanding
that vessel. shows that in the compile
ment OF that vessel pl sailors sgere en-
listed of whom but thirteen were aliens.
This proportion is Insignificant, COM
pared with that of other warships here
tofore commissioned; and is IL believed
that i'm a short time il Will be possible
in the navy to put none but Americans
on guard"

WHITES JUVENILE FICTION.
Western Author Whose Stories Are
Ponuiar with Young People.

Writing juvenile stories so as to In
terest and hold an army of boys and
girls numbering not less than 100000
week after week and year after year,
is task involving not only skill and
judgment, but positive genius. There
has come about vast change in juven-
lie literature during the past decade.
Both the wishy washy and the highly
spiced sensational have been relegated
to the background, and freshness, orig
inality, and, above all, vim, must per-
meate a story nowadays, in order TO
attain popularity among up-to-date
youthful readers.
Eastern publishers say that 1t is the
Western reading field that pays best
just now. A Western man holds the
palm for juvenile fiction. Weldon j.
Cobb has not been known in this line
under his own name until quite recent
ly, as tie same was controlled by Il
large Eastern publishing house for ex-
elusive use in the mature field, until
some three years since. AS DR.. VIII
lizard Mckenzie, Ralph Hamilton, and
Paul Ingelow, however, Mr.. Cobb has
since 1880 been very prominently be-
fore the reading public. To his Ready
Boys was given the best reception AT
tending any story of its class, while
The Tattooed Boy" which won the
Munro prize after the casting of 272.000
votes, was the work of the same au-
thor. He is Il busy writer, one New
York publisher putting out nine books
from his pen in a single year.
Mr.. Cobb proceeds on the basis that
the average boy of to-day is ten times
better informed and more critical than
the youth of the last generation. One
Of the best signs of the time Is the get
ting away from the trashy and imprOb-
able, and in this work Mr.. Cobb has
been a crusader. In complete harmony
with his readers, he gets very close to
their predictions and preferences-in
such near touch, indeed, that among
the seven hundred odd juvenile ath-
letic and social boys and girls clubs of
the country his name is a household
word.
Some of this authors best works are
"The Oldest Man in the World THE
White Dwarf Elephant" The Gilded
Boy" and his first great story, "Honor

Diana casts her dusky robe DER heavens

Earth's deepest wales are sleeping, in mist

Wrapped in slumber so divine, as though

voices, clear and sweet,
Tell DER and Ger the story of old, Of

The flowers, their heads uplifting, send

To mingle with the clouds above, and shed

While gentle zephyrs, singing through

Cool many hot and feyered brow before

So, thus with voice ascending in praise to

No Change in the Fever situation,
and People Are Less Excited.

No Change in the Fever Situation,
and People Are Less Excited.
New Orleans, Sept. 15.-There has
been no change in the fever situation
since the official bulletin OF the board
of health last night, declaring five new
cases Of yellow fever. Numerous sus-
pected cases are being reported, but
many of them show no traces of yell
low fever.
So widespread is the concern in the
situation that 1t is doubtful ii any case
of fever appears with suspicious Cir
cumstances attending that it is not i'm
medately brought to the attention of
the board by neighbOrs. Every case
reported is quickly investigated, and
/ the board is constantly adding to its
staff of inspectors. The absence of
/ mortality is having a tendency TO
strengthen public confidence IN the
methods which are being applied in the
treatment of the cases. and unless the
disease suddenly assumes most ma
lignant form, many people who had in
tended to leave town will probably re-
main and help fight the battle 'ather
than run the risk and inconvenience of
travelling through parishes and counties
terrorized by the wild reports of the
plague, which are receiving visitors
with shotguns instead of open arms.
At the close of the days investiga-
ton the fever situation, so far at least
/ as New Orleans is concerned, was con-
sidered to have materially improved,
and there was less anxiety than at any
time since Monday.
1t is not easy tonight to find physi-
clan who is prepared to hazard an
opinion that New Orleans stands in i'm
mediate fear of an epidemic.
During the day there were 30 cases
reported to the board of health for in
Vestigation. OF these two are still UNI
der investigation, two were reported as
suspicious and requiring further dag
nosis, IA were found to be harmless
cases of fever, and two were pronounc-
ed genuine yellow fever.
Millions of gallons of water have al
ready been pumped through the streets
and with the general situation as much
improved as it is tonight, confidence is
strengthened. Conductor Johnson Of
the Louisville & Nashville was stricken
today, together with three others. One
new case was reported at Biloxi. 1t is
that of Rev c. F. Emory, pastor of
the Methodist church, making three in
his family.
Biloxi has now 40 cases Of sickness.
OF these 10 are yellow fever, six ale
suspicious, and a diagnosis as to l3 is
reserved
New Cases at Mobile.
Mobile, Ala, Sept 15.-There were
/ five new cases of yellow fever and one
death in Scranton today The Mobile
board of health received reports today
/ showing that there We're no new cases
of yellow fever and no suspicious cases
Refugees at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 15.-Yellow fever
refugees poured into the city today
Duriu the day three special cars OF
refugees came in from New orleans anC
other infected points. One car was
filled with troops from Jackson bar
racks in New Orleans. This stopped
here but a few minutes and then passed
or to Chickamauga National park
where they will camp.
