Yellow ever at Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz, Mex, April 26.-Several cases of yellow fever have occurred among peo- pie recently arrived here, and the fever has broken out at Salina Cruz, on the Pacific coast. Unusually hot weather for this sea- son is believed to be the cause. The fever has shown itself again at Tehuantepec. where Sir Wetman Pearson has offered the authorities a suitable site for a hospital. There will be little chance of banishing yellow fever from this point until the new drainage works and water system are com- pleted, and sanitary experts believe the city will then be as healthy as any tropi- cal port.

FEIGNED PIETY TO STEAL.
Recent Convert Steals Silver Altar
Ornaments From Cathedral

Louisville, KY, Aug. 17.-Forty brass
candlesticks, eight silver candlesticks
and several small vessels from the altar
of the Cathedral of the Assumption were
found in the room of Joseph O'Brien, a
recent convert, when search was made
there by the detectives this morning.
Two weeks ago O'Brien was confirms
ed. His piety was excessive. He attend
ed every service and remained after the
congregation was dismissed for silent
prayer and meditation. The priests and
his family encouraged him, and he ad-
ded morning and evening prayer, always
entering the cathedral alone.
Then it was noticed that the number
of candlesticlSs in the church became
less after each visit. Finally some of the
altar vessels were missed. The matter
was reported to the detectives ard
O'Brien was discovered in pawnshOp
trying to dispose of a silver candlesticIc
from the statue of the Apostle Peter.
This led to the search and the recovery
of the remainder Of the stolen property.

EXCLUDE YOUNGER MEN.
Commander Shaw Wants Only Civil
War Veterans in Grand Army.

Rome, N. Y, Aug. 1S-Commander-
in-Chief A. D. Shaw of the Grand
Army of the Republic, is emphatically
against admitting veterans of the Gu
ban, Philippine and Chinese wars to
membership in the G. A. r. In an in
terview today hesaid:
Il find that the idea is overwhelming
ly, opposed by the comrades every
where. 1 am opposed to a union of the
younger veterans with those of the
civil war, because there is no common
bond of service between them. The
members of the G.. A. r. are particular
ly sensitive as to their records. They
prefere to have no outsiders in the
organization. When they are all gone
another similar organization can be
formed, composed of those who have
served as volunteers in later wars"
IF the matter is brought up at the
coming encampment in Chicago, Com
mander Shaw is sure to be found on the
side Of those opposed to the admission
of any but veterans of the civil war to
membership in the Grand Army.

kinson, aged 81, and Sarah Ann Coal
aged 70, were married here today, and
the shadow of a lovers quarrel of fifty
years ago was wiped away. Tears
glistened in the old couples's eyes as
they clasped hands and took each other
for better or worse.
They walked bashfully into the reg
listers office this morning and nervousIy
but quietly answered the necessary
questions. The groom said he lived at
Tanner, this county. Got a farm
there he added. The bride said she
lived at Weatherby. Each had been
married before, but their first marital
partners were dead. After getting the
license they went across the street to
Alderman Masterson and were married
Fifty years ago this summer they
were as happy young couple as could
be found in the county, and deeply in
love with each other. One summer
evening something happened, they will
not say what.
