Four Hundred Cases Of Fever to
Date at Key West-The
Mortality Low.

Washington, Sept. I9.-Ihe
yellow fever situation at key
West is regarded as grave
Since the fist case was reported
about three weeks ago, the cpl
demic has been steadily grow
ing until today there are almost
400 cases. New cases are ap
pearing at the rate of thirty a
day. but the mortality is low
Fifty four cases and two deaths
were reported for Sunday and
Monday. Attendant Hall, one
of the Marine Hospital staff, de-
ve1oped the disease last night
and he has been isolated. AS
Key West is situated below the
frost line the epidemic will have
to run its course. -fhe Marine
Hospital Service has been di-
recting its efforts to conhning
the epidemic to the island and
has been rewarded with signal
success. Only one infected per
son is known to have escaped,
and he was discovered at Miami,
and isolated. He has since re
covered. All the suspects at
Port >4'ampa were placed in a
detention camp, and Assistant
Surgeon Trotter today reported
that the camp would be osed
in Wednesday as all suspects
had been under observation ten
days. None but known immunes
are allowed to leave Key West
direct and tllen only On certlh
Gates. Others who desire tc
leave must first go to the deten>
ton calnp at Dry Tortugas. The
treatment of the cases in Key
West is entirely under the su
pervision of the Florida State
Board of Health. The Marine
Hospital Service is simply en-
forcing quarantine regulations
with a view to preventing the
spread of the disease.
One new case Of fever was re-
ported to the Surgeon General
from New Orleans today.

A BRAVE GIRL.

Some days ago a little CIR a
daughter of Mrs. Fields, living
on Lake Gibson, near Lakeland,
Fla, jumped off the wharf on
the lake to take swim. She IS
an expert swimmer, but had
hardly touched the water before
she was seized by the leg, be-
tween the knee and ankle, by an
alligator. She was pulled un>
der the water by the saurian, but
managed to break away, and
started hastily toward the shore
only few yards distant. The
alligator again came to the at
tack, this time seizing her in the
Aeshy part of the side, between
the ribs and hip. The little one
was plucky, however, and man
aged to again break away from
the cruel jaws, this time reach~
ing the shore, the alligator fol-
lowing until she was on dry
land; then he disappeared from
view. The girl never lost her
presence of mind, which prob>
ably was the reason Of her es-
Gaping alive. She gives a, very
graphic description Of the dan~
gerous encounter, and has two
very ugly wounds to vouch for
her story. She says she could
not see the entire length of the
beast, but from what she could
see would judge it to have been
only about five feet long-a
small alligator to attack a person.
The girl is ID years Of age.

THE MAN WHO SUCCEEDS.

The man who makes a sue
cess of an important venture
never waits for the crowd. He
strikes out for himself. It takes
a great lot of grit. But the man
who succeeds has both. Any
one can fail. The public adj
mires the man who has enough
confidence in himself to take a
chance. These chances are the
main thing after all. The man
who tries to succeed must ex-
pect to be criticised. Nothing
important was ever done but
the greater number consulted
previously doubted the posi-
biltty. Success is the accom-
plishm ent of what most people
think can't be done.

INCOME OF SIo.65 a MINUTE.
While Vanderbilt Slept at Night
He Got About s4,474 Richer.

NEW YORK, Septumber So
Great interest continues to be
taken here iii the distribution
which the will Of Cornelius Van
der5ilt, when probated, will be
found to make of his great for
tune, estimated at s15o,ooo,o 900.
Young Cornelius, eldest son
Of the dead millionaire, is be-
lieved by Wall street meu t
have the best prospects Of get
ting the largest SHARE of this i'm
mense sum. 1t is pointed out
that in the last few years he has
shown steadiness and business
capacity which might overbal-
anCe his fathers strenuous but
ineffective objections to his mar
rage with Miss Grace Wilson.
The income which the elder
COrnelius enjoyed during his
life was one of the largest in the
country. OF his estimated wealth
of $I5o,ooo,ooo it was said in
Wall street about SIo,ooo,ooo
was i'll unproductive assets 1t
was also said that the average
income on the remainder was
between 4 and 5 per cent.
Calculating an income Of 4
per cent. on $40, 900, 900, it
would amount to S5,6oo,ooo a
) ear, Of $I5,442 II day. Per-
haps a man having this income
would be willing to drop the AZ
cents. Dividing the even sum
of $I5,342 by LAO, the num-
Der OF minutes III d uay, gives
an income Of about SIo.65 a
minute. This would amount to
little less than IS cents a sec
ond. Thousands of persons are
glad to work All hour for IS
cents.
Now, suppose that Mr.. Van>
derbilt slept seven hours at
night that was said to have
been about his average While
he was thus in bed in dreaming
Inconsistencies his incom e
would have amounted to $4,'
47475. Not every man car go
to bed and wake i'll the morn
ing $4,47475 richer.

The Lake Drummond Canal
Opened.

The Lake Drummond Canal
and Water Company wish to
aive notice that the Old Dismal
Swamp Canal route between
Norf TX and Elizabeth City is
now open tor business and the
fro boat will leave every other
dgI except Sunday, conmen-
cing August 28th, making trips
as follows: Leaves Norfolk
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
davs. Returning, leayes Eliza
beth City, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.
The Canal Company insures
nine feet Of water at present
time between the locks, and in
q few weeks they will have ten
feet of water in the canal. The
Company has dredged fifteen
feet in depth for a distance of
three thousand feet below the
locks in Deep Creek. They
have also made deep water be-
tween South Mills locks, in the
waters of the Pasquotank river.
The Canal Company has dredg-
cd the Old Turner Cut to the
depth of ten feet at low water.
Thus far the Canal Company
can insure a sufficient depth OF
vat
The Canal Company would
rot at present guarantee a safe
rassage between Norfolk and
Elizabeth City for boats draws
ING more thar seven and a half
feet of water-as the Pasquotank
has one shoal place, and Deep
Creek at low water has not more
than seven and a half feet al the
present time.
The government has appro>
priated money to deepen and
widen Deep Creek and also to
deepen and straighten the wat
ers of the Pasquotank river.
This work is to commecc at
once, The Company in the
meantime intend to improve
and widen the canal, and in the
near future the Canal Company
believe that they will have a
canal and waterway between the
points named that cannot be ex
celled in this country.

GRAND JURY'S SENSIBLE
SUGGESTION.

dated Sept. 9Th, says:
The grand jury, upon being
discharged to day by Judge
Dobler, in the Criminal Court
made the following suggestion
in its report:
The punishment of death
VIII -ther judiciously or illegally
carried out, would be considered
the most effective punishment
for rape which could be inflicted
it having failed, however. in its
results, we would suggest cas-
tration and Imprisonment in all
cases of conviction, instead Of
hanging.
-"This punishment, unques>
tionably, will prevent the crim>
inal from again committing this
crime, and he will become a
marked object and a living
warning, which we think will
cause others of the same brutal
propensities to hesitate before
they give way to their passions. y
We have long held the opiui
on that punishment by death
does not meet the case for crime
of this kind. Break the cul-
prit's neck, or burn him at the
stake it you will, aud the thing
is speedily over with and the
example soon lost upon others.
So we say, in view Of past ex
perience We do not believe
hanging for rape meets the case
The punishment suggested
by the Baltimore grand jury
would come nearer to it we
think, but it does not go far en-
ough. In addition to thus malm-
ing the criminal he should be
marked in some way so as to
make him readily recognized
and his crime read of all men.
This could be done by the cut
ting off of both ears and brand
ing in the forehead. Nor should
he then be confined in prison
but turned loose.
This would be terrible punish
ment to be sure but it would not
be as bad as taking the wretch S
life either on the gallows by due
process of law Or by the slow
aud tortuous methods devised by
mob violence. And certainly
this form of punishment would
be more deterring and the effect
more lasting. A man so mark
| ed would be a living, walking
advertisement of his crime anC
the dreadful penalty that woulc
be inflicted upon others guilty
of the same thing. Such a per
son would be hated, Stunned
despised-an object of contempt
1oathing and disgust,-abhorree
and kicked out, made to move
| on from place to place, friendles'
and alone, a wanderer in The
world looking for sympathy ant
rest but finding none, until a
last, worn out and weary of life
death would be courted as
sweet boon and balm to hi
vretched soul and an end pu
to his miserable existence.
The Gold Leaf believes th'
Baltimore grand jury is moving
out along the right lines. LIE
the law be changed to fit tn
case.-Henderson Gold Leaf.

DREYrUS
PARDOnED.
The Pardon Was Signed at
Cabinet CounciHTues-
day,
STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
M. Scheurer-Kestner the first
Champion of theCondem-
ned Soldier, Dies
Suddenly.

PARIS, September 1o.-The
President pardoned Dreyfus af-
ter the Cabinet meeting to-day.
Premier Waldeck- Rousseau pro-
posed the pardon. There was
little opposition, the plan being
entirely in line with the policy
of the government and the
troubles connected with the
case.
Dre1 fus has relinquished his
appeal for a reversal of the Judg
ment of the court>martial.
1t is said that Dreyfus will be
sent abroad before the promul-
cation of the order to avoid
demonstrations.
LONDON, September 1o.-A
special says that the pardon of
Dreyfus does not annul the con-
sequences of the civil and mill
tary verdicts against Dreyfus. 1t
simply makes him a free man,
and no longer attached to the
army. 1t is understood that he
will settle in the South of
France or in England.
A STRANGE COINCIDENCE
There is much remark here
on the strange coincidence OF
the death of NJ. Schurer>Kest
ner, the first cham pion of Drey
fus, and to whom Dreyfus will
virtually owe his freedom, On
the very day the cabinet decided
to pardon the prisoner.
M. Schurer>Kestner's death
was sudden. lie had been i'll
during the last few days, but it
was no. thought that his illness
would prove fatal.
DREYFUS FREE.

Dreyfus at 3 o'clock this morning
left his prison and proceeded to
Vern, where he took a train
bound for Nantes. His depar-
ture was completely unnoticed.
He was looking very pale, and
smiled as he saw and EN- braced

hour was expected.

TWO FIRES
AT NORFOLK.
St. Nincent's Hospital and
Norfolk Flour Mill De
strOyed.
THE LOSS IS GREAT
It is Feared Two Of The Pa
tients in The Hospital
Were Lost in The
Flames.

NORFOLK, VA, Sept. al
The Norfolk Milling Company S
-four mill, adjoining the Nor
folk and Western railroad tracks
and fronting on Brambleton av>
enue, was totally destroyed by
fire last night between 10 and II
o'clock. The loss is estimated
at $4,000 to $4,000. The in
surance is $4,000.
The building and machinery
is estimated to be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 and the
stock of wheat and -four from
50 900 to $4,000. The insur~
ance on the blilding and ma
chinery was $4,000; on the
stock, $4,000. It was equally
divided between the Indiana
Miller andOhio Miller Insurance
companies.
The origin Of the fire is a
mystery, but Mr.. Keely thinks
it probable that a hot box caused
it. There is a peculiar atmos,
phere of combustibility about a
-four mill and a fire is easily
started. The enginehouse is in
the rear and was not damaged.
The mill was built nine or
ten years ago and has been q
paying investment Every year
with the exception Of one, the
owners have realized handsome
dividends. It is, therefore, con :
sidered probable that it will be
rebuilt.
The owners of the mill are
