YELLOW FEVER.
thirty Cases, Believed to Be Genuine.
In Soldiers HOme-Three Deaths.
There Are Four Thousand Old Veterans In
the institution and Several Large
Excursion Par ties Went There
During Last Week.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, July 31.-There
are 80 cases of what is believed to be
genuine yellow fever at the Ma
tional soldiers home near Hampton.
and three deaths from the disease were
reported Sunday. There were several
other deaths at the institution Satur-
day, but 1t could not be stated Sunday
night that all of them were caused by
yellow fever. Newport News and
Hampton quarantined against the SOL
diers' home Monday morning.
The government authorities at Old
Point have already adopted this step
and no strangers are allowed to enter
the reservation. Quarantine officer
Hobson, of this port, went to soldiers
home Sunday night and verified the
statement that there are now so cases
of the disease at the home, and that
= there were three deaths from the mall
ady Sunday.
While no one outside of the soldiers
home knew about the existence of vel
low fever until Sunday, it is said the
disease made its appearance three days
ago. The most rigid quarantine regu-
1ations will be enforced to prevent the
spread of the malady. The news has
created great excitement in Newport
News Old Point and Hampton and the
most vigorous measures will be resort
ed to to prevent its spread. There are
1000 old veterans at the home and sew
eral large excursion parties were there
last week.
WASHINGTON, July S1.-Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman, of the marine hospital
service, was informed Satu rday night
of an outbreak of what it was feared
was yellow fever at the National sol
diers' nome at Hampton, and immedi-
ately dispatched surgeons in the service
from Wilmington, n. c., Norfolk and
Washington to investigate the sickness
there, report on its character to the
authorities here and to take measures
to prevent the spread of the disease.
DIR. Wyman, himself, will 60 to
Hampton in a few days to take charge
of the work of preventing a spread of
the disease if it develops into genuine
yellow fever. Two of the surgeons
dispatched to the home reported Sun
day that the symptom very much
resembled those of yellow fever
and that while they could not
be positive in their diagnosis as yet
they were inclined to the belief that
the illness was the dreaded yellow
jack. The government will adept
: strict precautionary measures to pre-
ventsa spread of the disease and viii
fight its progress with all the skill anC
resources at its command.

NO OUTBREAKS.
Cars We're Running on Schedule Time
in Cleveland Sunday.
Gen. Axline in Favor of Declaring Martial
Law in the City-He Thinks That
Would Put an End to the
Trouble EffectualIy.

CLEVELAND, o., July 31.-Notwith-
standing the fact that big crowds were
upon the streets Sunday, there were
no outbreaks of violence and apparent
ly little attention was paid to the Big
Consolidated cars, which ran on all
lines on schedule time. On the South
Side and out Broadway to Newburg
the cars were run practically empty,
but the East Side lines, especially
those running to the parks, were well
patronized, though they carried fewer
passengers by far than usual on fail
Sundays.
Adjt. Gen. Axline, speaking of the
fear of the people to ride on the cars
in certain sections of the city at night,
said Sunday night:
''This state of affairs is likely tC
continue for several weeks or months
unless a settlement is reached. The
only way to put a stop to it is
to declare martial law. That will
require 1000 or 5000 soldiers, and
every street will be natrolled. Every
body will be required to remain in
doors after a certain hour and all who
are out after that time without a per
nit will be arrested. But martial law
would put an end to the trouble eff
fectually."
The only exciting incident on the
South Side was the hold up of an ice
cream wagon by a crowd of soldier:
who took from it a four gallon freezer
full of cream. They offered money
for the cream but the driver of the
wagon refused to accept it, saying he
could not sell it. The soldiers say:
they ordered the cream several day:
ago and the dealer promised to deliv
er it but it did not come. probably be
cause of the boycott. When tbs sol
diers saw one of the company's wagon!
they stopped it and took the cream
offered to pay for it.
The people in the neighborhooC
looked upon this as a great outrage
but the soldiers only laughed anC
treated it as huge joke. Business
Agent Pratt, of the union of + > ri.
Consolidated strikers issued a state
ment Sunday in reply to the intima
ton that there was breach between
the strikers and the employees of tn
Little Consolidated. The latter hav
organized separate union, and hav
decided not to take part in sympath.
strike.
Pratt thinks they should have JONES
his union and he says in his statemen
that the motive which prompted tn
organization of the separate union wa
not pure. He accuses certain of tn
Little Consolidated employees of tryinl
to head off a strike on those lines, an
he intimates that it would be unwis
to divide the funds and energies of tn
two unions.

An Extensive Knife.

An old man went into a cigar store

had Il fancy for one of the knives, bat
thought the price. 10 cents, too high.
After parley with the proprietor he

He lost the money and then that much

lost S121, all the money he had, but
the proprietor made him a present of
the knife.
In the afternoon he returned, saying
he was dissatisfied with the knife. He
had paid S121 for it, but would will

dealer kindly made the exchange, and

~rcn the Curious Youth,

ETawinS over the unclaimed mail IS
u favorite amusement among n certain
set of idle youths said n hotel clerk
Yesterday. ANY letters for So-and-
so? they will ask, giving an imaginary
name, their object being apparently to
crafty idle curiosity by studying the
superScriptions and reading the post
ais. Last fall an idiot of that type re-
ceived q severe lesson here ia this
house He made the usual request,
giving rather 4 peculiar name, which
he afterward admitted he had thought
of on the spur of the moment BY re-
markable coincidence two central Office
detectives were standing near the desk
at the time, and the name he gave was
that of noted crook who was wanted
by the police of Chicago very badly.
Without word more than was nee
essary they took the young gentleman
by the arm and carried him off 70 po-
lice headquarters. He was so astonish-
ed that he was unable TO make CO.
herent explanation and really present
ed picture of guilt. His story at head
quarters that he had asked for letters
under an assumed name was regarded
as SO improbable that they held hinr
until telegraphic inquiries could be
made. OF course it turned out that he
was not the Chicago crook, but he got
the scare of his life. and you may rest
assured that he has dropped that form
of amusement from his indulgences."-

Why the Apartment House Manager

The manager of the apartment house,
q well fed, well featured, well dressed
man, was standing in the main door
way of his establishment, which, by
the way, is owned by an out of town
capitalist who is not the most generous
proyider in the world and insists upon
the fiat being conducted upon the most
economical lines The manager was not
happy, however fair he may have APP
peared to the eye, and he heaved long
drawn sigh as a friend approached and
greeted him.
What's wrong?" inquired the new
conner.
.'Oh, we've all got our troubles"
was the vague and lugubrious reply.
"You oughtn't to have any
but 1 have, just the same"
"What, for instance?"
"Well, I'm worried sick because l
haven't got an elevator boy.
There shouldn't be any difficulty in
removing that trouble, 1 should say.
There is. I've tried 40 and can't
get one to suit.
lyon must be very hard to please. "
sit Ism that, signed the manager.
I'm all right, but it this way: The
old man insists on having the elevator
boy wear a uniform, and he furnishes
it. Uniforms cost money, and when the
last boy retired he left a brand new
uniform, and the old man won't get
another. That's the rub. l can find
plenty of boys of sufficient intelligence,
ample experience. Industrious habits,
good moral character and fine address,
but I'll be darned if 1 can get one that
the uniform will fit, and there you have
it, Now what the dickens am to do?
Amt that enough trouble for any one
