NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 11.-With the
death rate remaining lower than in
previous visitations of yellow fever the
feeling among health officers and the
laity continued hopeful. Although the
present visitation of yellow fever has
been prevalent long enough to assume
virulent type, the fever is apparently
less malignant than 1t was when it
first appeared. Doctors now believe
that IL the first cases had been taken
hold of at once and subjected to prop
or treatment the total deaths would
have been much smaller than has been
now recorded. For the past twenty
four hours are reported: New cases,
so; total to date. 739; deaths, Z; total
deaths to date, 1928; new subfoci, 8; to

FOUGHT SEVEN DAYS.
Insane Man at Stratford shoals Tried
In Vain to Destroy Its Light.


NEW YORK, Aug 1i.-Stratford
Shoals light and perhaps the big Long
Island sound steamers which are guild
ed by it were saved last week through
the heroic struggle which the keeper
of the light Merrill Hulse, made for
seven days against an insane man ma
rooned alone with the keeper and de
termined to extinguish the light
The mailman was Hulse's brother
keeper, Julius Coster, who went crazy
and tried to destroy his light IN at
tempts to get at the light Coster want
ed to kill Hulse.
The lighthouse is situated on Long
Island, midway between Bridgeport
and Port Jefferson.
Hulse had no warning that he was
living with an insane man until one
day Coster attacked him with a weap-
on made of a razor dashed to the end
of long pole. The keeper overpowered
Coster and repeatedly afterward DUR
ing the first two days of his compan-
ions madness was forced to fight for
his own life. Then Coster's mania took
a new turn, and one afternoon Hulse
found him with a hammer and chisel
trying to cut away the walls of the
lighthouse.
That night the light suddenly stopped
revolving and It's keeper ran to the
lamp room to find Coster with an ak
about to destroy the lenses. He fought
his way into the room and saved the
light, but from that time on for fully
five days, doing two mems work, the
brave keeper was forced both to guard
the lenses day and night and to fight
many times for his own life and final
ly toward the end of this period anoth-
err burden was laid on him.
AS Coster's deirium wore off he be-
came DESTROYS of committing suicide,
so that when removed from the light
house he bore self inflicted gashes all
over his neck, which only Hulse's faith
full watchfulness had kept from be-
coming fatal. He has been placed in
4 hospital

THIS STATE THIRD IN COKE.

OF ALABAMA.
Has been Alternating nth southern
state For the Past Twenty
Years.

The United States Geological SUP
vey completed its annual report on the
coke production in the United States,
covering the calendar year 1904. The
following Is said of the coke industry
in West Virginia
Because of a decrease In production
OF 424. 732 short tons in 1904, as COM
pared with 1908, West Virginia once
more falls behind Alabama, and for
the tenth time in twenty years occu-
pies third place in rank among the
coke producing States. Since 1885
Alabama and West Virginia have been
close rivals for second place, each
having held it ten times, and during
the last four years have alternated
each year.
The coke production of West Vir-
ginia in 1904 was the smallest in five
years, amounting to 2,283, 086 short
tons, valued at SO, 757, $50. Compared
with the record year of 1908, when the
production amounted to 2,707, 1913
short tons, valued at 81, 1852. this
shows decrease of 424, 739 short tons,
or so per cent. in quantity, and of
1886 .992, or AZ per cent. in value.
The number of establishments in
creased from 1876 in 1908 to 1877 in 1904,

ovens increased from Is, 613 to 16 ,929,
a gain of 1915, and there were 1919

were 80 esta blishments, having total

NORWAY WANTS FREEDOM.
Only One Person In 5000 Votes
Against Dissolution.

Against Dissolution.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Aug IL
The Norwegian people in Il referendum
have pronounced in favor of the disso-
luton of the union with Sweden with
remarkable though not unexpected
unanimity. OF 100000 voters 100000
cast ballots.
Early returns show that about one
person in 1900 voted against dissolu,
ton. The difference between the total
number of voters and the number of
votes cast is attributable to absentees,
such as sailors abroad and others who
are out of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands OF
women who did not have the right of
franchise signed petitions in the streets
indorsing the dissolution. In Chris
tiania and other cities the total popula-
ton turned out, every one wearing
long streamers of the national colors
and pictures of Premier Nicholson.
One of the members of the cabinet
said; "The result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next of
f1cial steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on Aug. 81, when the
result of the plebiscite will be COM
municated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat the request that
the riksdag declare the riksakt inoper-
alive and the union dissolved. The
storthing will also express a willing.
ness to negotiate concerning the de-
tails of the dissolution. 1t is the ear
nest desire of Norway to conclude the
dissolution amicably. Norway win
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes OF Sweden in
other directions. If peace depends up
on abolishing the forts, they will be
abolished. Norway must remain
monarchy. The people do not desire a
republic"

Twelve Deaths and Fifty-fye New

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.-Official
yellow fever report to 6 p. m: New
cases, 80; total to date, 1918; deaths,
II; total to date, 1866; new subfoci, 8;
total subfoci to date, 30.
With the exception of few squares
all New Orleans below Canal street is
now generally infected. While most
havoc has been caused in this portion
of New Orleans, where foreigners i've,
the disease has spread to many places
in what Is known as the American
quarter, abpye Canal street. Most
cases in the American quarter are iso-
lated, however. Health officers are still
unable to assert whether the high wa
ter mark of daily new cases has been
reached. About Is per cent of all those
thus far stricken with yellow fever
have recovered, the deaths being about
one in every six persons infected.
The marine hospital service is ex-
tending its aid to any outlying place
where yellow fever appears, and eff
forts are daily making to perfect in
spection and isolation. The marine
hospital service will take general
charge of the street and house santa
ton. While yellow fever is not filth
disease itself, experience shows that
persons who live in unsanitary sur
roundings are much more likely to die
Of the disease when they contract it
than those who live in better environ
ments.

paid obedience to the antimosquito or.
dinance is also to be participated in by
