day. DR.. Trotter reported from Tampa to-
day that he had made house-to-house in
spectioa and had visited st. Petersburg but
had found nothing suspicious. No one Is al
lowed to leave Key West without going to
the detention camp at Dry Tortugas unless
he Is certified as an immune. Egress is not
prevented from New Orleans, but there is
a steamboat inspection there of boats bound
up the river and passengers are taken.

Locomotives Run with Oil.

All the locomotives on the Santa Fe
railroad in California are run with petro-
leum for fuel. The supply comes from a
big petroleum ranch near Fullerton,
where there are II wells yielding an av-
erage of 400 barrels a day. Altogether
there are - locomotives on the Califor
mia division fitted with oil burners, and
they have not only proved eminently sue
cessful, but cost no more than coal burn
ers. \ ton Of old will carry them twice
as many miles as a ton of coal and haul
the same load Coal is worth 81 a ton
and oil about the same price
The petroleum output in southern Cali
fornia now amounts to 10000 barrels a
day, and it is all consumed upon the Pa
cihc coast. 1t was discovered about ten
years ago and has been in use for about
five years. \ tank steamer runs regular
ly between Santa Barbara and San
Francisco, carrying refined petroleum to
the latter market. The Southern Pacific
runs its local trains by oil, and it is also
consumed as fuel in several manufacture
ing establishments in this section. There
is no smoke and there are no cinderS.
The locomotive tenders on the Santa Fe
road are big tanks, and the engineer

BGIlkG CANARlES.
The Change That Came over Young
DIPLOMATS Fancy.

One of our Washington bird merchants
tells good story to illustrate the waver-
ing course of young loves fitful fever.
Something over year ago swell young
diplomat, wearing a trim little white top
coat over his dress suit, came rushing into
the store one night and asked to see the
canaries.
Il wcesh you would he so vera kind to
show me ze canary-ze vera fines you
saf."
A number Of the little wooden cages
were set out before him, and he looked at
bird after bird, but did not seem to find
what he wanted
Il will tell you why want re canary"
he said at length. Il hat met a vera lofty
young lady. She ecs beautiful. She ees
vera fine I will gif her re canary-ze
vera fines you hat How much ees Eat
canary"
The price of that canary, said the bird
store man, sis So.
"Oh, Eat ees not enough! l want ze
vera fines canary you hat
! The dealer went again TO the shelf where
he kept his stock of yellow songsters and
brought out Il bird the price of which on
ordinary occasions was the same as that of
the rest. He would have been glad any
time to get so bill for him.
There, " he said sis an exceptionally
good singer That is "a trained bird. The
price is SO.
"Oh Eat ces re bird Now 70 cage"
He bought "a $40 cage, and leay ing di-
rections where the bird and the cage Wore
to be sent, rushed out as fast as he came
evidently thoroughly satisfied with his
purchase.
A few days ago the same young man
came into the store and again asked for a
canary.
The dealers eyes snapped. He saw an
other chance to sell $l5 bird in a $40
cage
He briskly set out the finest canaries he
had and gave stiff prices on them. But
the diplomat didn't warm up bit. Ho
shrugged his shoulders and kept saying
"Too much Too muchl''
Finally he threw up his hands and ex-
postulated:
"Ze price ecs too high. Half you a cheap
er bird? Zis canary ees not for beautiful
young lady. am married now, and a %
bird will do, "
The dealer made the best of the situation
and sold him a 80 bird and 81 cage, and
he trotted off seemingly as happy as he
was a year ago after paying five times as
much for the same thing. Washington

Mr.. J. c. Anderson of West Virginia
said to u reporter: THE other day l
was invited to the home of Major Willis
to IA reception, and while there met Cap
tain William Hammond of Florida l
had never seen him before. When Cap
tain Hammond learned that | was from
West Virginia, he said that he served
there during the war. He was in one
battalion and | in another.
I'VE got to telling stories, and Cap
tain Hammond gave an account of how
he escaped the Yankees by a clever ruse
one day. He was at the house of Colo
mel Mcneil, when it was announced
that the enemy was approaching, and he
ran ont hurriedly to hide. The only
place Offering safety was a henhouse,
and the captain climbed up on a roost.
He was not seen. When the soldiers
left said Captain Hammond. "a little
girl came up and told me to come out.
She carried me into the house. She
was a pretty child, and while the Yam
KEGS were searching the place she stood
guard over me.
Major Anderson says that after Cap
tain Hammond had spoken of the inciF
dent he remarked, well. captain. here
is that little girl" and he introduced
him to Mrs. w. II. Wilson of Chatta-
nooga. Mrs. Wilson is the daughter Of
| Colonel Mcneil, and she was the child
who watched Captain Hammond while
the soldiers were hunting him She had
not seen the captain since that day

came an awful pause in the turmoil of
the air.
They had run into the dead, MINDLESS
center of the tornado.
Relieved of the steadying strain of
the wind the ketch plunged madly ev-
cry way and shivercd helplessly in tho
heavy seas. Guthrie knew that the lull
was but for moment and that if they
let this opportunity go there might be
for hours no other chance for Dolly to
regain the cabin. The respite. brief as
it was, must be used at once.

most of it had escaped again by the
broken and gaping scuppers, they made
their dash. The companion was reached,
and with no chance to give him moro
than Land squeeze Dolly went below
to the shelter of the cabin.
The young man made his way for
ward again to his post with his shoulder
bruised and tingling from blow
against the combing of the hatch. Then
the tempest spoke again and, with a
shrek wilder and more awful than be-
fore, struck the ketch. But this time it

ter of the compass.

Arab Music.

Who shall define Arab music? It has
been described as the singing of a prima
donna who has ruptured her voice in try
ing TO sing duet with herself. Each
note starts from somewhere between n
sharp and fiat, but does not stop even
there, and splits up into four or more por-
tions, OF which no person can he expected
to catch more than one at time.
John Oliver Hobbies says there is a great
law of infidelty in the human race A
man must be faithless to something either
to a woman or his deity or his most cher
ished belief, The Arab musician is al
ways unfaithful-to his stave and his key
note But faith unfaithful makes him
falsely true to the ears of his hearers, and
they enjoy and applaud his wrangles with
harmony. Their singing reminds one Of
