NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Yesterday morning. when 1t became
known that there was thirty cases or
yellow fever at Soldiers Home, and
that there had been six deaths. the city
was thrown into the widest kind Of ex-
element. Those who bad people work
ing at Newport News were wild, and
these who were at work down there.
but came home Saturday night, started
to go back. but were not allowed TO do
so. DR.. Hope. quarantine officer, hav-
Ing ordered that no boats be allowed to
land in this city until further orders.
When the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk railroad steamer came in
she was not allowed to land; neither
was the Washington steamer. A rum
Der OF small boats came up, but were
not allowed TO land unless the parties
were we'll known. Extra men were put
on duty. with instructions 10 guard

came here i'll n canoe from Newport
News. We're turned back.
Later in the day a marine guard was
sent down to the hospital with instruc-
lions not to allow any boat to land

Walter Culpepper on board, was sent
down the river. and will remain for n
week. They have instructions not to
allow any boat TO pass them unless
they have n certificate from either the
Board of Health from Newport News
DR.. Pettus or himself to come up, but
to require them to return to where they
came from. Every prccaution has been
taken that could be. ana there is no
reason why the disease should not be
confined To the Home. There is no
cause for fear here at present. at least
Ii is said that the disease has existed
"a the Home for ten days but nothing
has been said about it, During that
time several excursions have been

Their only child is with friends in

HER BRIDEGRooM's UNIFORM.
She Wanted 1t to Be a Combina-
tion OF mn AdmiruPs and
Generals.


One of the young gentlemen who
have just been appointed in the regular
army was married only a few weeks
ago, and his bride takes a great deal
of interest in his uniform. lie left his
measure with a military tailor here the
other day. and the next afternoon when
she was out shopping she dropped in
to give some instructions as to the man
ner in which it was to be trimmed, says
Washington letter in the Chicago Rec
ord.
She told the tailor she did not like the
ordinary uniform of a second lieuten-
ant and desired to have her husbands
different. She wanted to have four
bands Of gold braid around the sleeve,
like Admiral Schley has on his, and
after critically examining all the shout
dcrstraps she instructed the tailor to
put on her husbands coat pair that
had silver birds embroidered on them,
because they were prettier than any OF
the rest.
The tailor tried to advise her that the
regulationsd did not permit second lieu
tenant to wear the insignia of an ad-
miral of the navy or those of colonel
in the army, but she declared that if he
would not make that uniform the way
she wanted she would have her hus-
band patronize somebody else.

The committee in charge of the pur.
chase of the organ recently placed in
the school house desire US to say that
the instrument has been paid for in
full. The organ is now the property
of the community, for its use on all
proper occasions and is not under the
control of either the school or church
holding its meetings there.
Rev. w. L. Strange, although an or
dained minister who holds services
every Sabbath, is not ashamed to put
in six shifts week at hard work, and
has been doing this for several weeks
past. Last Sunday he preached at
Jordan Valley, and coming home, he
remembered that he had left his dinner
pail at the mill the evening before and
stopped and brought it home with him.
Some one seeing him started the story
that he had been working on Sunday.
He did not care for the story, but some
of his church people have asked us to
correct it.

PRAIRIE GIRLS WEDDING.
She Seldom Takes Trip, but Goes
Direct to Her New
Home.

AS the prairie girl has grown up
with her training along practical lines,
SO she asks only of her lover that he
shall be manly and true, writes Charles
Moreau larger, of "A Girls Life on the
Prairie" in Ladies' Home Journal.
Thousands of acres of land do not
make fortune, and social degrees are
practically unknown. The wedding is
nearly always at the brides home. Not
once in threescore' times is it at the
church. The near relatives and few
dear friends are the guests. The
brides white wedding gown is simply
made. lunches of goldenrod or roses
deck the little parlor or sitting-room,
and from the organ comes the wedding
march. Seldom does groomsman or a
brides attendant take part in the cere-
mony, and more seldom is there n re-
ception afterward. Fortunate indeed
ore the bride and groom if they can es-
cape a vociferous serenade. for the
charivari and the bombardment of rice
and old shoes are well-established cus-
toms on the plains. The papers usually
add to the story of the marriage:
After the wedding supper and con-
gratnlations the happy couple drove to
their own home. which had already
oeen fitted up for their occupancy"

His Criticism Silenced.

"There were rough characters" said an
Confederate, 'in both armies. Three or
four years after the war I found an old
Union soldier in the pententiary at Nash
Vile. l was greatly interested in his case,
and it seemed to me that the offense charged
against him-that of stealing mules-was
not with army traditions in mind, grave
one, and through the influence of friends
secured his pardon. He was very grateful
and started North with the promise that we
should hear good reports of him. Before
he left Kentucky he stole ten horses, crossed
the Ohio river with them and made dash
for the central part of the state. He was
pursued and captured and sent to the Ohio
penitentiary.
Il felt very sore about this and tainted
some of my Yank friends with the record Of
the fellow. A year later l went to Colum-
bus to secure the release Of an old Con-
federate soldier from the Ohio penitentiary.
I youched for him because he was one of the
bravest soldiers in our commando rough
daring fellow, who would follow his captain
anywhere. l secured his release by strong
appeal to the governor and started the man
Southwark. He stole three horses before
he got out of the state. Since that time
I have never said much about the Union
soldier who disappointed me at Nashville

What Are We Coming To:

The Chicago University, that renOwn-
ed hatchery Of little plutocrats endow-
ed by the prince Of plutocracy, Standard
Oil Rockefeller, is in turmoil again. One
of the unwritten laws of that institution
is to fire every professor who teaches
anything contrary to plutocracy. In
the past, heads have fallen for such Of
fense, and now Prof. Albion w. Small
is a candidate for the headsman's axe.
Prof Small in addition to filling
chair" in the Chicago University, is the
editor of the Journal of Sociology, and
he is quoted by the press as saying Of
late that:
"In this age of so-called democracy
we are getting into the thrall of the
most relentless system of economic oil
garchy that history thus far records.
That capital from which most Of us,
directly or indirectly, get our bread and
butter, is becoming the most undemo-
cratic. inhuman and atheistic of all the
heather divinities. 1t breeds children
only to devour the bodies of some and
the souls of others, and to put out the
spiritual eye sight of the rest. In spite
of the historic campaigns for liberty
in spite Of the achievements of Christi
anity, there has never been time when
the individual counted for so little or
availed so little as today. 1t is literal
and cardinal fact that our present eco
nomic system cries to heaven for recti-
fication.
We are in the midst CT the most bewil-
dering labarynth of social entangle-
ments in which the human race has
wandered up to date. If you will heed
the symptoms from bank and office, and
factory and railroad headquarters, you
have discovered that the very men who
are making these combinations are be-
ginning to be afraid of their own shad-
ows. These very business men, who
claim to have a monopoly of practical
common sense, have involved themselves
and all the rest of us in grim tragedy
of errors 1t would make infinitely
more for human veal if every dollar of
wealth should be cleaned from the earth,
if we could have, instead of it, industry
and honesty and justice, and love and
faith, than to be led into this DEVILS
dance of capitalism
The audacity of one of Mr.. Rookie
feller's hired men to thus express him
self, shows that some men permit their

Let us suppose that wire nails are
