Brice at Politics and at the Theater

Young Stewart Brice, who is about to
make his debut in politics, is one of the
familiar figures at most of the first
nights in New York, and he usually sits
in box. He is a blonde young man
with an appearance of great det,armina-
uor. and impetuousness, and since his
graduation from college has been in
business for only few morths Tha was
in the west. But he returned to New York
and resumed his place as regular
among the persons who make business
of seeing plays first performance here.
He is never accompanied by the mem
bers Of his family, and indeed, his COM
panions are likely to be theatrical peo-
pie. Mr.. Brics sat in box at a first
performance last week and witnessed
the debut as singer of a young woman
who had previously been associated with
other kinds of stage work. There wer.A
no particular demonstrations of uncon-
trollable enthusiasm over the young
woman, and some persons went so far as
to laugh when she sang for the first time
after long course of vocal preparation,
which had not been altogether kept from
the public knowledge. Mr.. Brice had
frequently been seen at the theater with
her, and viewing the young woman from
across the footlights in the gaze of cru
ely Indifferent audience emphasized the
usual intensity of his gaze. But even in
his Interest he did not so far lose control
of himself as to put his hand to his ear
to try to catch the far-away, gentle
sound of her voice, which positively re-
fused to trust itself over the footlights.

THE COST OF YELLOW FEVER
Losses Estimated at $3S,OOO,OOO
Suffered in the Stricken Section


New Orleans, Lathe course of the
yellow fever is being most prominently
marked by the cost of the maintenance
CT the quarantine regulations in this city,
in the state and in Mississippi, Florida,
Alabama and Texas. The people are
more fearful of loss of prestige as points
of commercial promine nee than of the
ravages of the yellow fever The history
of the plague in all points, Ocean Springs
excepted, shows that there is the ecanti-
est hope of stamping out the disease
before frost comes Current statistical
experience shows that the fever will
probably cost the, lives of $50 people in
the infected districts.
COST OF THE QUARANTINE
Only men of admitted statistical abil-
ity can estimate the loss of commerce
which this city will sustain and COM
parative figures only afford a basis for
calculation of the cost of quarantine
The town of Shreveport, La, has ex-
pended $4,000 to maintain a quarantine
for twelve days. Natchez, Miss, is pay
ing out $500 a day. Vicksburg, Miss,
/ embarrassed by an expenditure of $500
day, has been forced to economize, and
men are now drafted into duty as quar-
antine guards. 1t is believed that nearly
$100, 900 has already been expended in
Louisiana alone, outside Of New Orleans
1t has, or will cost, Mississippi about
$125 900; Ala bama, $50, 900; Texas, $50 900;
Tennessee, $40, 900, and Florida, $40 900.
New Orleans has paid out $4,000 for
Salaries of guards, $4,000 for the river
quarantine station. $4,000 for the de-
tention camp at the Rigolets, and $25, 600
for the camp at Fontair'ebleu. These
figures show that the quarantine alone
has cost, or will cost, upward of one-half
million dollars.
DR.. Joseph Holt, former president of
the board of health, originator of the pre-
vailing system of maritime quarantine,
and a gentleman in every way compe-
tent to judge, told me that in his opinion
the yellow fever here, the consequent
scare and the general quarantine de-
clared against New orleans, will mean
a loss of $25, 100000 to this city. Mobile
Ala, the only other city of prominence
affected, will lose, comparatively speak
ing, tenth as much, or $500 900
Other losses may make the total about
$3S, 900 900.
This loss is not represented alone in
trade actually lost or in the paralysis
which commerce is now suffering from
but in the amount diverted to other
ports. This is the question more serious
to the future of the south than ever
the fever itself.

In this way an exact course can be taken
and stops can be made wherever de-
sired.
The first experiment was a complete
success, although it was not attempted
at any great depth, the inventor claim
ing that the machine was not quite
ready for deep sea work. In a few
days, however. it will be sunk in the
deap sea off Havre, where it will be
put to work at depth of AGO feet.
Should it prove entirely successful the
syndicate backing the inventor will at
once start out upon the manufacture
of its structure. and a new impet etua
will be. given to- the ever fascinating
work Of recovering lost treasure from

The Good Mans Invocation

Down in the rural districts it happened
when the Mean Man invited the preach
er to dinner. The Mean Man had plenty
of money, but he didn't spend it on his
table, which on that occasion showed
but scant fare.
"Parson," said the Mean Man, "times
air hard an groceries high; but. sich as
it is you're welcome. Will you ak q

II WILL" replied the parson, fold your
hands" And then he said: Lord, make
us thankful for what we are about to
receive-for these greens without ba-
con, this bread without salt, this coffee
without sugar, and, after we have re-
ceived it, give thy servant strength to
get home in time for dinner!"-Atlanta

phone wire which runs along the cable
by. which the machine is lowered to the
depth of the sea.
This cable is very fine one, but in
case it should break, the boxes of ballast
which are fastened to the bottom of the
globe can be severed from it, and the
globe will then rise of itself

ever invented. There are no automatic
doors that open and close as the diver

consequently there is no chance. for the

being lowered, and the supply of air is
sufficient to last the men until they are
raised again. When they feel that they
need air, they can give the signal, when
the air can be renewed.
The weight of the machine is such that
it is almost impossible to handle it on
land. 1t floats in the water, and being
hollow, il bobs like ball upon the sur
face of the ocean. Its weight is ten tons,
but owing to the nature of its construc-
tion it will not sink without the boxes of
