Strict Quarantine Established
Against New Orleans.
ONE DEATH FROM THE DISEASE
Board of Health at indianapolis Re-
ceives Report of Death from the
Plague in Knox County-Precaut iop'
Against Its Spread.

Mobile, Ala, Sept. News was re-
ceived here Friday night that three
cases of yellow fever and one death
had occurred in New Orleans. The
board of health was Immediately
called together, and a strict quaran-
tine was declared against the infected
cities.
Various reports have been received
that the dreaded disease has spread
over New Orleans. The midnight train
that arrived here from New Orleans
was stopped on the outside Of the city,
and no one from that city was al
lowed to disembark.
The train was sent through Mobile,
and will not be allowed to stop in the
state of Alabama. The train crew was
ordered to a detention camp. The
news of the fever caused much excite
ment in Mobile and will cause many
residents to leave until after the scare
is over.
Death Was from Yellow Fever.
New Orleans, Sept Am autopsy
held on the body of young F. Adolph,
who died here Thursday, showed the
death to be due to yellow fever. The
case was reported to the Louisiana
board of heath as yellow fever two
days ago by the experts, but DR.. Muir
ray of the United States marine hos
pital service does not think it was that
disease.
Mobile is quarantined against New
Orleans. There is another case, which
is regarded as very suspicious, and it
is almost certain that the physicians
will diagnose it as yellow fever.

STORYETTES.

The captain of country football
team finding himself unable to get to-
gather team to fulfill an engagement
with club in town five miles away,
wired to that effect to the secretary
of the opposing team. Cant let YOU
off, was the answer: "crowd waiting
already" The captain made another
effort to get his men together, but
without success, and was once more
obliged to wire his inability to fulfill
the engagement. The answer came:
IF you can't come yourselves, please
send your sweaters. We can pick up
teal from the navvies working here
on the railway, and the people won't
know the difference
Richard Cumberland, the play
wright, was extremely jealous of his
young rival, Richard Sheridan. 1t is
related that he took his children to
see one of the first performances of
1.-The School for Scandal" and when
they screamed with delight their irrit-
able father pinched them, saying:
what are you laughing at? You
should not laugh, my angels; there is
nothing to laugh at" adding in an
undertone: Keep still. you little
ounces" When this was reported to
Sheridan, he said: at was migrate
full of Cumberland to be displeased
with his children for laughing at my
comedy, for when / went to see his
tragedy 1 laughed from beginning to
end!'
Henry Guy Carleton, the play-writer,
when living near Madison Square,
New York, used to pass daily the New
York club, of which he is a member.
One day one of the young and frivol-
Gus members said to him: 81 saw you
this morning Carleton, carrying your
poodle through the square. Good ex-
ercise, isn't it? But I'd rather let
somebody else do it for me-" "Und-I
doubtedly," replied Carleton, grimly,
if haultingly; "when any one sees nj
me carrying m-my d-dog, they say,
There -g-g-goes Henry G-Guy
Carleton with his d--dog' But If |
they should see YOU they'd ask,
'W-w-who's that in--infernal il
idiot c--c-carrying p-p-poodle?
Roy Bean, at one time justice of the
peace IN Langtry, Texas, administered 7
the law according to his own lights
He held court in his saloon, and it
was his custom in minor cases to fine
the defendant "drinks for the crowd"
and ad journ court till the fine had
been collected: One day he acted as
coroner in the case of an unknown
man found dead on the outskirts of
the town. Nothing was brought out
by examination beyond the fact that a
revolver and two twenty-dollar pieces
were found on the corpse, whereupon
Bean pocketed both weapon and
money, declaring that ''the deceased
came to his death through some I'M
known means, and, in-as-much as it
was guilty of carrying conceale ed wea-
pons, against the peace and dignity of
the state of Texas and this commu1
nifty, the court fines it forty dollars.
In life we count upon the uncertain,
but the inevitable always surprises
us.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 5.-The person

principal theme of discussion in the cam
paign which will end Tuesday. The repub-
Iicans in the fight for their ticket, when
Is headed by w. 8. Taylor, present attor-
ney general, have directed their energies
mainly against the democratic leader and
the policies which have become associated
with his name, notably the Goebel election
law and the present statute affecting rail-
roads. Mr.. Goebel is also antagoniZed- by a
faction of his own party, which placed In

Young Brown. This element, under the
name of the Honest Election league has
waged a bitter personal campaign against
Goebel, assailing his conduct in the con-
vention which nominated him. his entire
career in the states politics and the Goebel
election law
On the other hand Mr.. Goebel has had
the support OF well-organized state ma
chine, the endorsement Of the democratic
national committee and the active assist
ance of several Of the national leaders OF

LAFAYETTE SOUVENIR COINS
10 lie Placed on Sale In Chicago and
Washington the First Week
In December.

CHICAGO, Nov, 5.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says: The
Lafayette souvenir dollars will be issued
from Washington or Chicago between the
lst and 10th Of December by the LAFAYETTE
memorial commission. There will be so, 900
of them and the regular price of each will
be 81, but 1t is expected others will sell for
much greater sum- This is particularly
true OF the first one to be coined.
1--WE expect to make about $1OO. 900 off the
sale OF the souvenir dollars" said Robert
j. Thompson, secretary of the Lafayette
memorial commission. "The school chill
dren who have given many thousands of
dollars to the Lafayette fund will be given
hrst chance and thousands of coins will be
sent them.
The new dollar" said Mr.. Thompson,
will be unique in its way and something
unlike any other piece of money ever issued
by this country in the past. In the first
place ii will be different from any other
on account of having two medallions on
one side, These will represent Washington
and Lafayette. In this respect it will be
the only coin in modern times having a
double medallion on one side Another
feature will be its representation of two
countrles-Franee and the United States.
This Is certainly out OF all former prece-
dents. Altogether the souvenir dollars will
be of extreme value and We have not the
least doubt about their quick sale"

understood that the instruments brought by
Marconi to this country are unsuited to
greater distances than twelve miles by land
and thirty miles by water. The signal corps.
which operates a system of its own at a
distance of twelve miles, was unwilling to
have demonstrations made unless there
could be assurances of greater distances than
those promised. This concluded the negotia-
tions, which have been in progress for some
