YELLOW FEVER
AT HAMPTON
Forty Cases in Soldiers
Home.
The Situation Admitted to be
serious-A Rigid Ouaran-
teen Established at
Other Points.

Newport New, Va, July 3d.
Thi rty cases of yellow fever in the
Soldiers Home at Hampton and ten
deaths in the proceeding day is the
startling report that come from the
reservation Sunday night.
1t was learned from an official
source late yesterday evening that
there is no doubt regarding the
nature of the disease. 1t first ap-
peared in the home nearly a week
ago, but the physician were in doubt,
and did not decide until yesterday
that it was genuine yellow fever.
AS soon as it was definitely deter
mined that the dreaded scourage
was raging in the institution, steps
were taken to protect the public.
The cars were prevented from rum
ming within half mile of the reser
vation. 1t is feared however, that
much risk has already been taken, as
there were two or three excursion
from the interior yesterday which
spent the Sabbath on the beach and
in Hampton.
The health authorities have taken
steps to battle with the scourge, and
it is believed that they will be able
to haudle it successfully. There
were seven deaths Saturday and
three Sunday, but it is said that all
OF these wore not from yellow fever
More than 1000 veterans of the
Civil war are sheltered in this home.
when this fact is considered, the
seriousness of the situation may
readily be seen.
The Old Point hotels are prac
tically deserted.
1t is believed that the fever will be
confined to the place of it's origin,
as everything that science or disip-
line can do has been and will be
accomplished
Newport News and Old Point are
believed to be safe.
The Marine Hospital officials are
astounded at the presnce of yellow
fever in that locality. The last
epidemic of the disease occurred at
Norfolk in 1855, having been brought
into port on the steiner Ben Frank
lin on June 7th of that year, and in
the epidemic which followed there
were 1907 deaths.

ON THE WAR.
cit Is Not in Behalf of Liberty,
But Against It.

But Against It.
During recent visit TO the far
West, as late as May, Colonel Inaer-
soil was asked for his opinion pub
licly on the war in the Philippines.
The following was his reply:
II have one sentiment for the
soldiers-cheers for the living and
tears for the dead. If it.were meet
to weep over the sacred dust of the
brave who died to render our flag
stainless and keep it in the sky, it is
low in order to food the graves of
the boys who are falling in the
PHILIPPINE Islands. For they are not
fighting to add lustre to old Glory
or to save the Union, but as mere
machines at the behest of Admins
tration, which. for the time being, is
the Government of the United
States.
WAR with Spain, for which the
volunteers took up arms, has long
since ended. Congess has not de-
clared war against the Filippinos
nor voted money to carry ON q for
eign war of conquest. Then why
this thunder of guns. the flying
thunderbolts of hell and these new
made graves as numberless as the
stars? 1t is war not in bhalf of
liberty, but against it. Our arms are
not adding glory to the flag, but
instead are staining that starry EN-.
blem of freedom with the blood and
tears of the people fighting for the
rights of self-government. The
soldier is not to blame. 1t has al.
ways been considered glorious
thing to die fighting for truth,
liberty and eternal right But when
one falls in the PHILIPPINE War there
burns no halo of glory above his
sad, untimely, uncalled-for death
causes tears to moisten the eyes of
every patriot in the land. There
foro when he falls in such war his
bier should be draped in deepest
mourning and drenched with the
tears of his fellow countrymen.

SHAM FUNERAL TO
GET $4,000.
"A Wax Figure Claimed
to Have Been Buried.
Was a Hypnotic Subject and it
Is Alleged was Probably
Held in a Trance-An
Investigation.
Investigation.

Bristol, Tenn, July 24.-Thomas
Chase. farmer, aged about forty
eight, nnd residing at Milligan, Car
ter County, Tenn, was reported as
having died of grip after an Hines Of
few days in February last. On the
following day q simple funeral oc-
Cured and what was supposed to be
the remains of the farmer was buried
in the country churchyard at Mil.
ligan.
1t was announced In a local news
paper few days later that Chase's
life was insured for $4,000. In
round numbers this was correct, and
later the several insurance com
panies in which his different policies
were written deposited the money
in the banks of Knoxville and John.
son City, Tenn., to be paid to the
widow of the insured.
Mrs. Chase received about $4,000
of the insurance it is stated, but the
banks have just been enjoined
through Chancellor Smith, of John.
son City, from paying over the bal.
ance of the funds.
In their application for and In.
junction the attorneys for the insur-
ance companies allege that fraud was
prepertrated to obtain the insurance
money, that the insured had probab.
ly been made the victim of scientific
hypnotism on the part of some per.
son or persol in IN collusion with
the wife of Chase. that a wax figure
was buried and pronounced to be
the body of Chase, that the in.
surance had been obtained in the
first place by Misrepresentation, and
that Chase had been seen alive in
Knoxville, Tenn, two months after
his reported death.
1t was reported at the time Chase
was supposed to have died that he
showed signs of being under hyp-
motto influence, and that when he
was being prepared for burial he
arose from the bed and talked with
those about him, but expired few
minutes later.
The latest developments in the
case above cited indicate that
the whole affair is a sensational fake.
1t has been proven within the past
few days, by reputable citizens OF
Milligan that Chase did die, and was
buried without question. This
statement is verified by parties, who
were his neighbors. and who saw
him breathe his last and assisted in
preparing the dead body for burial

Up Goes Leather, UP Goes Shoe.

Up Goes Leather, Up Goes Shoes.
With the aid of the tariff the rich
and prosperous leather manufac
turers have formed Il trust and have
put up the price of leather. So the
shoe manufacturers are compelled to
put up the price of shoes. This does
not mean the shoes which people of
wealth wear, because tie cost of the
leather is in them subordinate to the
handiworkmanship. 1t means the
shoes of those who earn wages and
salaries. The shoe manufacturers,
according to The Worlds news this
morning, are debating whether to
lower quality or put up price. The
chances are that many of them will
do both. This leather incident is we'll
worth thinking about 1t is so
typical.

LUETGERT'S FUNERAL.
Attorney Harmon Claims that
Mrs. Luetgert is alive.


Chicago, July O.-Thousands of
persons attended today the funeral

murderer, who died at the Joliet
penitentiary. Prominent in the
groupe about tue bier at the North

at the close of which he said;

missing woman for whom he suffered,
without ever uttering an unkind
word regarding her, to come forth
and remove the unmerited stain from
from the name of the father of her
inocent children"
Luetgert's sudden death has
..brougt to light the fact that States
Attorney C...S. Dineen has had locked
eup in the vaults of the Criminal
SCourt building for Two year state
:ment made by Luetgert to fellow
prisoner in the Jail. It was sworn to

Sorney..
From this document it would
appear that Luetgert asked his wife
to 60 with him to the sausage fac
tory office on the plight of May 1,
1897. She refused. This angered
him. During the quarrel that fol-
lowed he gave her violent kick in

come to but she did not. Seeing
that she Lad died, he disposed Of her
body in the factory vat.
