Hooks LOrdly Tip.

It required such man as Theodore
Hook to cope successfully with the ra-
pacity Of the gentlemen of the hall, in
contradistinotion to the road, and on
one occasion; at all events. he proved
himself equal to the task.
It Is related that once when dining
out he, before the entertainment came
of, provided himself with several bright
farthings from the mint and that when
proceeding after the festivities to his
carriage he discovered several servants,
including the cook, awaiting him in
the hall, he forthwith slipped coin
into the hand Of the latter. The man
glanced at it, noticed the size and
bowed low in thanks. under the impress
sion that he was a sovereign richer,
while Theodore, dispensing largesse Of
like nature to the other servants,
went on his way rejoicing, nor did he
cease doing 80 when, as he stepped into
his carriage, one of the footmen, who
had discovered the real value of the
pourboire. ran out, saying, "Sir,
think you have made mistakel''
''Not at all, my good man" replied
the humorist, with a gracious wave Of
the hand. II never give less. Coach
man, drive on"

SEATTLE, WASH, July 29.-The Times
prints what purports to be full list of
fatalities in the American army in the
Philippines up to June 2. The list was
furnished by Fred F. Eitelle, repre-
sentative Of the Manila Freedom, who
claims to have obtained it from the sur
geon generals Office at Manila.
The total number of fatalities is 1856
% officers, 500 privates and IA civilians
attached to the army. A remarkable
feature of the record is found in the
statement that the number of officers
killed in battle is out of all proportion
to the number of privates killed. On
the other hand fewer officers died from
disease, proportionately, than privates.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 1.-The latest
official advices received show total of
81 cases and deaths from yellow fever
at the soldiers home at Hampton, Va.
One new case occurred during the day.
Thus far the disease has been confined
to the home, but all surrounding towns
Rre excited and vigorous quarantine is
being maintained. DR.. Wasdin of the
Marine hospital service is in charge at
Hampton and is working in co-opera-
tion with the local board of health. He
has strengthened the Gordon about the
town of Phoebus, which he reports in
bad sanitary condition. The fact that
only one new case appeared during the
day is
Encouraging to the Omcials
here, who are taking every measure to
prevent spread of the disease. They
feel that the fact that the infected ter
ritory is in the hands of the govern
ment and under one management will
be of great value in dealing with the
scourge and enable better measures to
be taken than if it were in some COM
mercial place.
Messages were received by DR.. Wy
man from quarantine officers through
out the United States asking whether
they shall impose maritime quaran-
tine against Norfolk. He has replied
that there appears to he no necessity
for such restriction in the case of Nor
folk or Newport News.
