NEW ORLEANS CHECKING THE
 PROGRESS OF YELLOW FEVER

6aiQ 10 nave gone 10 nm ana aSkcu II he had not changed his opinion to make Texas officer here. who had oonsider- able experience with yellow fever in Texas and Mexico. Dr. Goidberger in. dignantly denied ever having intimated that Tracey did not have yellow fever.
 The news of the two other cases of yellow fever was first made public to- night and created no excitement. These cases were considered suspicious by To- cal health authorities, but they decided to await the arrival of Dr. Goldberger and his diagnosis of them. Both Has, lit and Miller claimed to have come from Arkansas, and both denied ever having been In New Orleans or in the infected districts elsewhere.
 Revenue Cutter Quarantine. Washington. Aug. Tn addition tc now at Gulfport, Mss. the revenue cut ters Forward, now at Key West: Ham ilton. at Tampa, and Seminole. at Will mington, N. C., have been ordered to proceed at once to Gulfport for the pur- pose of maintaining the national quar- antine. They have been directed to act under the instructions of Capt. w. G.. Ross chief of the revenue cutter ser vice. who left tonight for New Orleans.
 It is expected that other and smaller boats will be needed in order to make an effective patrol and to this end any boats required will be employed and the revenue cutter flag hoisted over them and a revenue officer put on board. They will then be, to all intents, Gov ernment vessels, and have the same tu- risdiction as the revenue cutters, which will enable them to go Into any wa ters. It is believed that in this way an efficient quarantine can be main- tained.
 Provision was made by the Treasury Department today for the employment of three launches at $20 per day each to assist in the Gulf patrol. The following despatch on the subject was tonight sent by Acting Secretary Taylor to Cap tain Chaytor at Gulfport, Miss, of the revenue cutter Winona, who is assist ing pr. Wasdin in the patrol opera tions.
 Department has today approved em- ployment by public health and marine hospital service of three launches. Grace, Carolyn and Noreta and they will be considered as part of your com mand under general directions already given you with regard to the Winona in assisting Surgeon Wasdin, who has charge of the Gulf patrol. You will place a revenue flag and commissioned or warrant officer on each launch and they VIII cruise m any waters. LOul- siana and Mississippi authorities will be notified that these vessels are govern ment vessels"
 In a despatch to pr. Wasdin sent by Surgeon General Wyman tonight he says the launches will have authority to cruise anywhere In American waters. But" he adds. your directions to Captain Chaytor, as indicated by the secretary of the treasury, should be to warn vessels from Louisiana that they will not be allowed to land anywhere on the Gulf coast without their having un- tion which should be five or six days as may be required and offered the alter native of returning to Louisiana or go- ing to Ship Island. to live out their quarantine"

AUcrIoNEER STORIES.
The Successful cryer Is Generally Very
Versatile.

Take the contents Of three country
stores, one secondhand shop and one
colonial mansion, fill In the empty
spaces with many excited people, place
an able auctioneer on his throne and
you have a wonderfully interesting pic
ture. The auctioneer alternately roars
and entreats, the people elbow each
others backs: even the furniture helps
the noise by groaning and shrieking
as 1t Is drawn into view.
The types are almost as numerous as
the people for those who have the auc-
ton habit are apt to be interesting In
some way. and a crowd Of interesting
people Is worth watching. There are
young wives who are determined TO
furnish their homes we'll and cheaply,
trembling old men who hope to buy a
chair or a picture that Is dear because
Of its association; sharp-eyed con-
noiseurs who often know the values OF
antiques better than the auctioneer,
small dealers who buy regularly, and
few idle persons who are fascinated by
the magnetism Of the auctioneer. But
as different as these people are In ap-
pearance, they have the one desire to
find a bargain, they want something
for next to nothing.
The auctioneer Is, Of course, the CEN
trail figure. He Is above the rest Dy
the height Of the chair on which he
A.yt &c
ness Of wit and readiness Of tongue.
A good aucrioneer must be an expert
"hypnotist," a keen detective, some
thing Of a comedian and ready Dusi-
ness man. One Of the best auction
eers in Baltimore says that the main
requisites are knowledge Of faces ana
an ability to talk convincingly and In
cessantly. Things are sold, he says by
never allowing the minds Of the lis
teners to rest. A constant flow OF ex-
PLANTATION, exhortation and humor keep
people from thinking, and the price Is
raised by them recklessly IL they are
goaded on and not allowed to think.
Most crowds are good humored,
though occasionally the auctioneer
meets a bargain hunter who Is easily
angered and who makes trouble unless
he Is quickly silenced. At certain
sale some years ago a local auction
eer had occasion to hope that the Unit
ed States would annex Cuba, because
then we would get real Havana cigars
and not up country stogies. A man In
his audience seemed to think that the
remark was intended to insult him,
and he requested the auctioneer to
come out of this chair, that he might
get satisfaction from the face Of the
said auctioneer. The auctioneer In
vain explained that there were many
men in the crowd who were smoking,
but the man was angry, who listened TO
nothing that the auctioneer said, and
had to be removed after demoralizing
the crowd
Sometimes the witticisms Of the
auctioneer come back to him like
boomerang and he has to take them
gracefully. At a recent sale of watches
and clocks the auctioneer, referring 10
previous sale, said that he had sold
twelve clocks in twelve minutes. which
was fast rime. "Very fast" answered
an old customer: "the clock you sold
me makes sixty hours every day..
