indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 4.-The
state board Of health received a report
of a death from yellow fever from the
health officials Of Knox county Friday.
The report did not give the name Of

antine. Immediately on his arrival at
Sanborn his condition became serious.
He developed all the symptoms Of yell
low fever. Dr. Keffinger, the attend
ing physician, diagnosed the case as
yellow fever. He called in all the other
physicians in the town and they agreed
with him. The man died Friday morn
Ing and was Immediately buried. The
house has been fumigated and all those
who came into contact with the suf-
ferer have been ordered into quaran-
tine for five days. The action Of the
local health authorities has been ap-
proved by the state board. Secretary
Hurry says the conditions are favora-
BILE for spread Of yellow fever, but he
believes the precautions taken by the
local health authorities are sufficient
to check the disease.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, Sept. 4.-Bradstreet's
says:
with an exceptionally heavy bust
ness already booked for the latter por-
ton of the year, the mercantile COM
munity faces the trade situation with
confidence, testified to by very general
ly firm prices and with quotations in a
number OF lines showing further
marked advances. The most conspic-
uous exception to this is found in &C.
reals, which are weak and declining.
Wheat Qncluding -FOUR shipments for
the week aggregate 3,613,413 bushels,
against 3,313,S25 bushels last week.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
4,167,S bushels, against 4,59O,O97 bush
els last week"
R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says:
The astonishing feature is the mag
nitude of demand, Notwithstanding
prices which would ordinarily cheek
it. In products directly consumed by
individuals the larger employment and
better wages Of the working force give
explanation. Efforts to meet the de-
mand call for more stores, manufactur-
ing works and machinery and facili-
ties for transportation, as If every
mans wages were in part diverted to
build up the nations machinery OF
manufacturing and distribution. The
occasion promises quick profits, the
building is largely for the future, and
it goes on in spite Of unusual prices.
Sales of wool have been moderate,
6,32S,7O pounds for the week, and for
five weeks 42,OO5,S9O pounds, Of which
80, Ass, 29O pounds were domestic. Fail
ures for the week have been 141 in the
United States, against III last year,
and 25 in Canada, against % last

WALES AS GUEST.
The Prince Very Particular About Din
ing with Elderly Ladies.

ing with Elderly Ladies'.
New York Sun: When a New York
woman invited the Prince of Wales to
take dinner with her several years ago
at Hamburg, and sent him, as usual,
the list of guests for his approval, her
mothers name was stricken OFF, with
no further explanation than the i'm
piled suggestion that the Prince of
Wales did not care for the presence Of
old persons at dinner. So the hostess
mother was not allowed to make her
appearance. The Americans in London
have many similar notifications in
their efforts to secure this guest, and
amusing stories are told of the changes
in their plans made to suit the princes
pleasure. One Of these deals with the
predicament of an American who was
informed at very short notice that ar
rangements had been made by the
prince to dine with her on a certain
night, and who found difficulty in get
ting just the persons the royal guest
wanted to have invited. They were Sc
cured after a great deal Of scurry and
persuasion, for the notice was brief,
and most of them had engagements al
ready. Then the prince, to the chagrin
Of his expected hostess, declined the in
vitation at the last moment, on the
ground that he was compelled to be
out Of London at that time. Even his
Oldest English acquaintance are
usually compelled to be as careful
about the selection of the guests as the
Americans to whose houses he goes.
They have to make parties congenial,
and it is said that they are sometimes
put to great straits to keep out the
names Of guests who may be accepta-
BILE to the prince but Objectionable to
his wife. The woman in society most
admired this summer by the prince is
said to be an American girl with a
French name who was introduced there
this year. She is described as beauty,
although her wit and vivacity are said
to have made more Of an impression on
him.

War Prepare lions.

London, Sept. 4.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Morning Post says
President Kruger told a prominent
Boer that war was practically certain.
Every Boer is now armed with Maui
ser and has 100 rounds OF ammunition
strictly for future use, with forty
rounds for practice. 1 am convinced
that the reports of the Beers not be-
ing prepared are only a pretense, and
that they will strike a blow when it is
least expected"
The Johannesburg correspondent OF
the Standard says: 1T Is generally
understood that there is the strongest
inclination in the volksraad to repu-
date British suzerainty. A large sec
ton Of the Beers is strongly opposed
to a concession of the franchise on the
basis of a five-year residence, and the
position is still very grave"
1t is reported at Aldershot that the
First Royal Dragons, under Lieut.
Col. Burn Murdoch, is under orders to
be in readiness in the event Of hostili-
ties in the Transvaal. The regiment,
which figured at Waterloo, Balaklava
and Sebastopol, has not left England
since the Crimean war.

And kisses and burning tears,
They met in a foreign land
After some twenty years
Met as acquaintance meet:
Smiling, tranquil-eyed;
Not even the least little beat

They chatted Of this and that,
The nothings that make up life.

Yet once she had leaned to his kiss,
And once he had known her tears.
