YELLOW FEVER PATIENTS.
Three Urder Quarantine at ship Island
 Station.

New Orleans, June 1.-The fact that three cases of yellow fever have been under quarantine for the past ten days at Ship Island, a government station in the Gulf of Mexico about midway between the mouth of the Mississippi river and Mobile Ala. was made public today by Dr. C. H. Irion, president of the Louisiana state board of health.
 The announcement of the yellow rev. CT cases was the result of discussion between Dr. Irion and Health Officer Hunter of Mississippi over the fact that they had not been notified immediately of the fever's presence. The cases came from Colon and were taken off the steamer Whitehall which was bound for Gulfport, Mississippi. Ship Island is short distance South of the Mississippi coast and in charge of Uniteo States Marine Hospital of ficers, who immediately notified Sur geon General Wyman of the United States Public Health Service and Ma rine Hospital Service. Dr. Irion com mented upon the circumstances under which this report was made.
 He announced also that quarantine orders have been issued against Ceiba, Honduras at which port Is reported that refugees are gathering to escape yellow fever which is said to be breaking out at several points in Hon duras. He also said that he had re- ceived reports that there is yellow fev- CT in Havana

 St Petersburg, June 1.-The organ ization of new party of the center. midway between the Octoberists and the constitutional democrats, is an- nounced today in an interview with M. Vermoloff, formerly Minister of Agri- culture and now a member of the council of the empire.

Though M Yermoloff was dropped from the ministry on account of his liberal opin- ions he does not hesitate to call many of the most cherished plans of the con- stitutional democrats, including their agrarian project "nonsensical wfll-'o- the wisps" The center party is op- posed to the council assuming the ini- tiative in Legislation which would only fruitlessly exasperate the lower house. In general 1t takes its stand on the principles of the fundamental law and the councils response to the speech from the throne but the members are not bound to details by hard and fast policy.
 The St. Petersburg newspapers are filled with dispatches representing agrarian troubles in the interior of the empire, in which the hand of the. revo- lutionists and central directing brain are clearly manifest. Where it is impossible to incite the peasantry to open arson and destruction, the propa- ganda inanifests itself in agrarian strikes.

 The reverse of humdrum, however. though it is In the heart of an artificial civilization. is the thrilling death leap taken twice daily in a circus by Mile.

Mrs. Kerrs husband is a mining engineer and for twenty years she has lived and camped in the trop- ics She Is extremely fond of hunting and collecting natural history speci- mems. and her present expedition Is for the purpose of getting the stuffed skins not only of >jabirus, but of other rare birds and animals. The bird Mrs, Kerr is after especially is nearly six feet tall and Is snowy white. It belongs to the crane family and Is an aquatic bird.
 Once. in Guatemala, Mrs. Kerr was standing beside a pool of water when suddenly overhead there appeared an immense white bird flying. Instantly she raised her rifle and shot. and it fell with a great splash into the wa ter It was a white jabiru.

 He was sent aboard the Lancaster in 1908. He soon decided that the navy was not the place for man inclined toward the ministry and deserted. He became a student at Furman Univer- sity at Greenville, S. c. The police learned the history of his enlistment and arrested him. He Is now in pr's- on. The President suggested the young man stand trial for desertion and promised to take up the case after the trial and ascertain what could be done in the way of leniency.

 There are aboard seventy-two cabin and IT'S steerage passengers and crew of 250. While some of the more timid ones were greatly wrought up with fear of something happening, they were cas- lily assured that there was no need of worry and there was practically no exciteemnt among the passengers. Life saving crew No. 40, under Capt. James w. Eldridge. went out to the steamers assistance and will remain aboard until the vessel is foated.

NEGRO CHURCH DESTROYED.
Zion Baptist Church Burned at Lat
 Hour Last Night.

The Zion Baptist Church, a negro
 house of worship. on Goode Street, in
 Oakley, was completely destroyed by fire at 11:30 o'clock last night. The loss will reach several hundred dollars An adjacent house occupied by negroes was damaged. but the loss on it was small.
 The origin of the fire is unknown but 1t is believed that it was the work of an incendiary. In the early part of the night ne groes had held a meeting there but several of them declared that every lamp had been totally extinguished and that they confidently believed someone had applied torch to the building.
 The fire department was handicap ped by the long run, and by the fact there Is no water supply near the church which is barely inside the city limits. The firemen, by the effective use of chemicals, succeeded in prevent ing the destruction of the adjacent negro house.
 | A large crowd of negroes and many whites gathered around the blaze and watched the church crumble into ashes.
