THRILLING PHASES OF THE BATTLE
BEING WAGED IN THE STRICKEN .
DISTRICTS OF LOUISIANA
4 CLASH OF ARMED FORCES IS THREATENED
Exciting Incidents in Which the Governors of Two
States Figured-Federal Government in Charge
Directing Scientific War the Disease
and the Mosquito.

New Orleans, La. The shotgun puar-
antine which has prevailed in the
southern states bordering on the fever
stricken districts OF Louisiana has
been one OF the exciting and spectacu-
lar features OF the outbreak OF the
scourge this year. Refugees from New
Orleans and the other Louisiana TOWNS
in which the yellow fever has appeared
have been hemmed in with gatling
guns and muskets in the detention
camps along the coast or near the
state lines Of Mississippi, Texas and
Alabama Great railroad and steam
ship transportation lines, extending
around half a continent, have been
'shut down. SO far as New Orleans
and all Louisiana are concerned. Pas
senger traffic Is paralyzed, and even the
freight traffic Is affected.
In the railroad stations Just across
the Louisiana lire In Mississippi and
Texas-but most rigidly in Mississippi
ALI travellers through Louisiana are
placed indiscriminately in the "refu-
gee" class. They are herded for hours
and sometimes for days in these "bor-
der stations" Or tn so-called camps
to which they are removed by force.
Once In detention camp" which Is
seldom particularly sanitary place,
there Ii little or no chance for the de-
tanned traveller to gain his freedom
until the end OF the customary term
Of five days quarantine. Only then Is
he allowed to go his way, and all that
he gets for his loss OF time and the en-
durance of the horrors OF the detention
camp IS health certificate Of doubtful
value iii the next state he enters.
In the enforcement Of the quarantine
there have been numerous clashes Of
authority, and clashes Of arms were
Imminent on several occasions. Armed
forces of Mississippi and Louisiana
confronted each other during the early
stages of the outbreak on land and
water Menace Of an interstate war
was preVaIent and hostilities might
have begnn On " grand scale at any
moment. Intervention Of the marine
forces of the United States was looked
% and invited as the only means Of
preventing bloodshed Il
Governors ia Wcrdy War.
Spectacular berating of each other
by the governor Of Mississippi and the
governor of Louisiana preceded the ar
raging of the two states armed forces
IN positions mutually hostile. Invasion
of Louisiana territory by land and
water was charged BY the Louisiana
governor against the militia forces Of
Mississippi. sss
Usurpation OF authority over naviga-

! Ing appeal to the federal government
at Washington to intervene and curl
the fiery Vardaman's naval operations
y1mbroglio on Land.
A clash between the land forces OF
the two states seems to have been more
probable than between the forces afioat
| in gulf and bay. Violation OF the
sacred soil of Louisiana by invasion Of
Mississippi soldiers was the cause OF
the imbroglio on land. Dunbar, q
small town on the Louisiana side o1
the state line, was the place invaded
by the troops from Mississippi. 1t was
not claimed that the invaders came
with hostile intent and their real mis-
sion was known to be to get their
meals, as Dunbar was the only ac-
cessible place to get food in the coun-
try where the armed men Of Mississip-
pi were maintaining one of the guar
antine camps. But the governor OF
Louisiana had hardened his heart
against the governor Of Mississippi be
cause of the latter's sensational pro-
nonuncement, In which the authori-
ties of New Orleans and all Louisiana
were charged with deception and mis-.
representation" In the alleged with
holding from the outside world Of the
information that the yellow fever had
broken out In the Crescent City. So
Gov. Blanchard ordered Gov. Vardaman
to keep his troops at his own side Of
the state line, which in effect was de-
NAL to them of a place to eat on
Louisiana's terra firma
/ Because OF the friction engendered
by the fierce controversy Of the two
governors the travellers seeking to
break through the quarantine lines
were held hack at the cannon's mouth
and the point of bayonet. It was an
unusual state of affairs condition
unique in the history of the country.
When the New Orleans populace
realized that soldiers OF the neighbor-
ing state had invaded Louisiana with
arms and gunboats the Indignation wan
so intense and general that even the
pressing necessity Of fighting the
spread Of yellow fever by making war
upon mosquitoes was not permitted to
stand N the. way Of preparations for
measures of reprisals and retaliation.
IA light-draft vessel was chartered for
the naval brigade OF the states militia
and it was announced that this vessel
would be fitted out and armed with
howitzers aud machine guns and would
start out to protect Louisiana citizens
from further aggressIons.
At Beaumont and Marshall. as well
as other points on the Texas border
and coast, the citizens have armed
themselves with shotguns to reinforce

Colonel Greene, the cooper King"

From Leslies Weekly.
From time to time there come to the
front, In the financial movements of Wall
Street, men of brains and strong individ-
uality who dominate the situation with
their special interests. In the history of
the Street." the railroad king" the
copper king, the cotton king and
the industrial king have played infiu-
entail parts, and today 1t is about the
copper king that the business of the
financial district largely turns. The man
to whom the latter title is accorded is
Col. William Cornell Green, we'll known
as a successful mineralogist and president
of the Green Consolidated Copper Com
pany, which is with only two exceptions.
the largest producer of copper on earth,
it's rich mines being situated in Sonora.
Mexico Colonel Green. who is of dis
tinguished colonial and Revolutionary an
cestry, was born in Westminster county,
N. Y, In 1851 and at the age of sixteen
entered business in New York City. His
life is like a romance. Three years later
he went to the far West and for many
years engaged in mining and cattle rails
ing. He studied mining as science, locat-
ed valuable coITer mines. and amassed
wealth. He Is the largest landowner in
the world. possessing 100000 acres. on
which he keeps 100000 cattle. During his
long residence In the West the colonel
became noted as scout and Indian
fighter In addition to the copper COM
pany Colonel Green Is connected with
a variety of IL portant enterprises. A
man of signal courage and rare natural
ability, he also bears the reputation of
being thoroughly square a CO. blnation
of qualities to which his enviable sue
cess is no doubt due.

Girls and Boys Names.

From the London Chronicle.
A correspondent points the decadence
of the simple old-fashioned names for
gins. He has been looking over the
list of successful candidates for the Com
mercial Travellers schools, and finds no
Eliza, no simple Susan, no Jane no Anne,
nor even Louisa; the list contains Ivy.
Gwendoline, Violetta, Rita, Vera, Desiree
and Gladys On the evidence Of the list
that lies before us we conclude that
Gladys is the favorite. or was the ia
vorite in the nineties.
From the same small document we
draw the conclusion that in names as
in dress men are more conservative than
women. James, Henry, Walter. William.
Charles, Robert, Joseph, Alfred and John
occur again and again, though as Sec
ond name there is Collin, as a man may
make modest experiment with new
tie. But men seem to retain their old
fashioned names.
