THE FEVER PUZZLES THEM.
The Question is How Did it Get to
OrWood

Washington, d. c., September 2.-The
Marine Hospital Service was officially
advised to-day of the ten new eases OF
yellow fever which have been discovered
at Orwood Miss The officials are at
sea as to the origin of the fever there
and have no definite theories TO work
upon. They are endeavoring to trace the
cases. There is a possibility that the
victims brought the germs in their clothes
to Orwood from some point heretofore
infected but the nearest one IS Dur
rant, where the epidemic touched last
year. and even on this theory the warm
weather should have brought out the
fever. OrwOod is far from the railroad
and the fever therefore might not have
been brought by that means. a thorough
investigation is to be made. There is
no disquieting news from any cther
point save Orwood.

The most brilliant chapter in
American history is the achievements
and victories Of the American navy.
From the days Of Paul Jones to the
persent time it has never been defeat
ed nor seriously wOrsted. Tt has sus-
tanned losses in action, but nothing to
be compared to the damage inflicted
on the enemy. In the civil war the
development of the armor-clad vessel
revOlutiOnized naval architecture and
made the navies Of the old world only
worthless hulks. Then we led the
powers a merry chase on armOr-p ierc-
ing ordnance, until to-day there is not
an armOred man of war ahOat that can
resist the terrific impact of American
ordnance. In naval architecture, in
the torpedo and torpedo boat, in the
submarine boat, in ocean going battle
ships and cruisers, but above all in
naval gunnery we lead the world. 1t
is a claim that may seem boastfull, but
we make it, that the American navy is
a match for any Of the navies Of the
world. We now have 800 vessels of all
kinds, and this number will soon be
increased by new ones constructed in
the highest and best style of naval
architecture. Let US not be lifted up
with pride, but firm in the right, loyal
to humanity and working for the sled
Grafton of the world, the parliment Of
man"
