TAI,

Havana-A special to the New York
Journal says that yellow fever in it's
most malignant form has broken out
among the American soldiers stationed
about the city wharves. The utmost
and civilians alike. One death has al
ready been reported, and there are
said to be other serious cases.
The excitement over the outbreak Of
the dread disease and its particularly
dangerous form, is intense throughout
the American colony. Plans for evac-
uating the city are being made rapidly

II years old, son of Lewis I. Martin
fell into the Spokane river at the big

had gone home, but a Kodak enthusi-
asst, who was taking snapshot at that
portion Of the river, including the cof-
ferdam, while focusing his instrument,
saw the boys body pass across the pic
ture on the sighting lens. He was the
only eyewitness to the tragedy.

age of improvement nobody has made
joker-the man who does scraps for the
comic weeklies and for the funny de-
partments of the dailies, and who. fol
the time, is the chief exponent Of the
humOr Of the nation, says writer In
the Saturday Evening Post. That this
joker is exceedingly effective as a
mirth-provoker one has but to watch
the merry reader to understands; but,
after all, is there not more to joke
than a mere laugh? Is not the effect
of a joke upon the serious tendencies
Of the public matter for thoughtful
consideration? Should not the joker be
governed by sense of moral RESPONSE
bility? The subjects Of the American
humorist are few and are mostly kept
in stock. 1t Is scarcely necessary to
mention them seriatim. as they have
already been mentioned a large num-
tramp joke one cannot quarrel serious
ly, although perhaps it is not calculated
to discourage vagrancy or to fOrtify the
general sense Of financial responsible
ty. The motherin-law joke is showing
signs Of decrepitude, after vitality of
fifteen or twenty years, and may be dis.
missed with the grateful reflection that
it has never been worse than an exhi-
bition of execrable taste. The joke Of
the delayed lover and the toe of the
fathers boot is no doubt useful in it's
sphere Of influence, and may be per-
mitted without cavil to delight, for
generations to come, those whom it is
capable of delighting. There are, how
ever, at least two of the stock subjects
of the American humOrist which should
have been confiscated long ago, name
ly: liquor intOxicatiOn and the insecu-
rity of the marriage tie. Few funny
publications are considered complete
which do not picture a man Keeling
home from the "club'' with a maudlin
excuse to his waiting wife, or welded
pair commenting fippantly upon the
passing of love or the felicity and IA
cility Of divorce. The youngster who
is inclined to blame himself severely
LOI Ills AISI olcp III ulSSlpdllOu tuTuS
to the humorist, and Is Informed that
what he has done Is not a sin. but
joke; why should he worry over some
thing about which the world Is laugh
ing? The young couple having their
first tiffs are grievously worried until
they chance upon the sarcastic philoso-
ply of the funny man; then they laugh
bitterly at each other, and ask why so
absurd thing as love should be taken
seriously. Their efforts at self-control
and self-abnegation diminish; it Is USE
less, they conclude. for them to strug-
gle to maintain an ideal relationship
in society which finds opportunity for
mirth in proceedings for divorce. In
such subjects as these there can be no
real humor, and the man who tries to
joke about them is guilty of moral
lesc majestic which should not 60 un-

CLEANING OIL PIPES.

To those of inquiring mind who have
seen or read of the long pipes that car
ry crude petroleum from the wells OF
western Pennsylvania to the rehneries
on the Atlantic seacoast il is source
of wonder how the pipes are cleaned.
As the oil flows through these under
ground conduits the paraifin in the fluid
is separated, and this residuum incrusts
the sides of the pipes and proves Sc
rious hindrance to the free passage of
the current of oil.
The device that is used to remedy this
evil is knife, about two feet in length,

Went Looking for Trouble.
Girl operators who have caught the strike
fever have been making 1t lively for the last
two days at the silk waist factory Of j. and NJ
Cohn, 1872 to 1919 Greene street. Tho con-
Germ employs about 800 girls and 100 men.
For some time the girls have been attending
labor meetings. and recently some of them
thought it would be great idea to order a
strike By diligent agitation thoy got about
two-thirds of the girls in the operating de-
partment to agree to quit work. Grievances
had then to be considered and it was decided
to demand an increase Of seventy five cents a
dozen waists. The demand was granted be-
fore the girls had time to put on their wraps.
Several Of the girls were discharged by the
firm soon atterward. so second strike was
organ ized to have them renstated, The sec
ond strike was not a success. however. only a
ew Of the girls quitting work. Ten OF the
discharged girls stood on the sidewalk in
front OF the factory yesterday morning and
tried to get tho others to strike, but the other
girls remained ut work. and the ten girls be-
came SO d"monstrative that a policeman was
summoned from the Mercer Street station He
drove them away.
The firm says that most OF the girls who
have been discharged were dismissed because
OF slovenness in their work. The strikers
and discharged girls have established head
quarters at lG5 East Broadway. Some OF
them threaten to return with reinforce
ments to the factory to-day and try to brighten
the rest OF the girls into striking. They dis
covered new grievance yesterday. 1t is that

NOT ENOUGH RAW MATERIAL.

Interesting Features of the Boom in the
Iron Market.
PITTsBuRG Pa. Aug. 11.-There is a POSSIBLE
ity that some OF the steel and iron mills In this
vicinity may be oompelledto shut down as soon
as the stock OF pig iron and muck bar which
they now have on hand is exhausted. as
there ia practically no more to be had in
this market. Conditions are shaping
themselves or q general advance In raw
materials within the next month or two.
There is no possibility OF a slump. because
there is no material on hand. and the demand
shows no sign OF decreasing. This is true in
the face OF reports OF continued increases in
section.
The reports fthe production for the month
OF July show that the estimated weekly output
was 261 O32 tons. as against 25S.S 7S tons for
the month previous which is an increase OF
II. 1916 tons week. There was very con-
siderable increase in the production during
the month CT June. which at the time the re-
port for that month was made was considered
remarkable. but it was only an av-
erage weekly increase Of l $3.50 tons. The limit
of production, however. has not been reached.
as number OF furnaces went out of blast last
month. and new ones building are about to be
fired. 1t will be some time. however. before
the production catches up with the demand.
The coke production is being forced to the
utmost capacity Of the plants. The shipments
for July were the heaviest in the history OF tho
Connellsville region. One f1rm the Fl. c. Prick
Coke Company. alone shipped 33.0S3 cars Of
coke. each car averaging twenty tons.
