With Bang When the Ore Deal Was
Reported Closed--Last Hours
Were Busy Ones.

New York. Oct. 5.--The sluggish
hour of trading today to buoyant
and animated uprush which made up
almost large volume Of business
as the whole of that for the rest of
the day. The revival of the statement
verified shortly after the close of
trading that the "ore deal was ready
to be announced once more, caused
Weakening of the market. Up to that
time dealings had been so dull as to
offer only a small field for comment
outside the general puzzled conjec-
ture as to the cause for the sudden
relapse from speculative animation in
the week.
The forecasts of the bank state
ment were for an increase of $800o0,-
000 on to $90,000,000 according to
the computation of usually accepted
authorities This gain is mostly due
10 the deposit of government funds
with banks under the offer Of the
treasury department which was later
modified To increase the New York
allotment by reason of rejection of
the offer by interior banks. Money on
call was much easier. A halt in the
operations by large capitalists was at
fributed in some quarters to a desire
to await the clearing of differences
over the ore deal. Stocks Immediately
connected with the project were NOT

Triton, Ga, June 18.-A small cy-
clone struck Tifton Tuesday afternoon
doing damage to the amount Of $10,-
600, and probably causing the loss of
one life.
It's path was probably $50 yards in
width through the main residence part
Of the town, and but for its narrow
scope, the loss would have been enor-
nous. 1t was travelling in a wester-
ly direction, and first struck near the
public school building, crossing Love
and Central avenues, and going to
Second street. The first house struck
was the home of G. c.. Guest, which
was badly damaged, the piazza being
unroofed. The outbuildings in the
rear were demolished, as were the sta
bles of DR.. N. Peterson. The loss of
these two was about $400 On Cen

ker and J. H. Hillhouse were damaged
and the outbuildings destroyed The
loss here is about $40O. On the west
side of Central avenue the homes of
DR.. G. w. Julian, J. M. Paulk and E.
T. Forrest were damaged, and the sta
bles and outbuildings were destroyed.
Their loss will be $1,000.
Conductor w. S. Newton, of the At
lantic Coast Line, who lives with For
rest, had his leg severely cut with
broken glass.
Presbyterian Church Wrecked.
The Presbyterian church is a total
wreck, lifted from it's pillars to the
ground. The loss is near $4,000. The
Baptist church was damaged about
$25. The storm passed along the
north side Of the lumber milling plant
and variety works of the Triton Man
ufacturing company, blowing the stack
from the boiler and unroofing build
ings, int1icttng damage of $2,500.
Crossing the railroad tracks of the
Georgia Southern and Florida, the cy-
clone unroofed and wrecked three
tenant houses, belonging to H. H. Tiff,
and badly damaged another. The
house occupied by the families of r.
win Proctor and J. A. Weather was
lifted 20 feet from it's pillars and to-
tally wrecked. Mr.. Proctor sustain
ed severe injuries, having two ribs
broken, his shoulder bruised and sus-
tanning severe confusion of the head.
His injuries are not considered nee
essarily fatal.
Several other persons were hurt,
but none seriously. Another house
was occupied by the families of J..
W. Wennedy and Mr.. Kemp, who had
narrow escapes, and another B. G..
N Blount, whose daughter had been
Ill in bed for several days, and who
was carried, wrapped in bed clothes,
in pouring rain, to the home of the
nearest neighbor. The home least
damaged was occupied by E. E. Lytle.
The total loss at these cottages will
be about $4,000.
After leaving Tifton, the cyclone ap-
parently rose, and no further damage
has been heard of.

A MODERN ARCADIA.
Nowhere Are Life and Property So
Safe as In Labrador.

Nowhere Are Life and Property So
Safe as In Labrador.
A traveller who recently visited the
coast of Labrador says that nowhere
on earth are life and property held so
sacred as in that little known and bar
rem land A thousand miles of lonely
seaboard, along which is scattered a
population of some 10000 people, about
one-third of whom are white would
seem to give every opportunity for
crime, yet there is no police officer of
any kind, no court and no jail Nor
are they needed. The only criminal
charge within fifty years was one
against an Eskimo, who shot a rival in
love.
In addition to the resident popula-
ton the coast is visited every summer
by about 10000 Newfoundland fisher
men, and, while Newfoundland itself is
not by any means free from criminals,
none appear to come among the fishers
or else the example of the natives of
any wrongdoing while there. Years
ago a circuit court visited the coast
every summer but as it found nothing
to do it was abolished. Now should
any serious charge be made against a
man a magistrate would be sent from
Newfoundland to investigate it-Har-

NAVAL RESERVES ARE DROWNED
Supposed that They Tried to Swim
to Tybee Island.

Savannah, Ca, June 1.-TWO mem
bers of the Savannah naval reserves
OF this city are lost or drowned on
the coast Saturday Afternoon a par
ty of five members of the organization
left here in a launch belonging to the

stormy weather that is prevailing and
the search is being carried on under
difficulties.

new ORLEANS WARS
UPON YELLOW FEVER
City Health Board Begins A
Vigorous Crusade
AGAINST sTEeoMYlA FAscIATA

sixty City Blocks Are Now Under
Searching System of Inspection and
Other Portions of City Are Being
Carefully Watched Over.
New Orleans, June 13.-As a precau-
ton against possible yellow fever out
boards of health announce that sixty
city blocks are now under searching
systems of inspection and that those
portions of New Orleans outside of
this closely guarded section are being
watched over through cooperation of
every physician in the city with the
health boards.
The sixty blocks under especial su,
pervision are those in which the vel.
low fever epidemic originated or was
worst last summer. Each house in
this district is visited by inspectors at
at least every two weeks, their
duties including enforcement of the
law that all cisterns shall be screen
ed and general sanitary regulations.
In this same district an officer watch
es and reports every case of sick
ness, no matter what nature, and
makes investigation as to the contrib
uting causes of such illness.
Mosquitoes, especially are under OBJ
seryation. In several cases where
deaths have occurred within the six
ty blocks, mtcrosmopical examinations
of mosquitoes have been made by the
city board of health in search for the
stcgomyia the mosquito which is be-
lieyed to carry yellow fever
In one case as may as fifty dead
mosquitoes were examined with this
object in view, after they had been
gathered from a house which had been
fumigated. The city board of health
reported that no stegomyia were
found.
A special health map, colored in red,
yellow and green, is kept at the city
health office to indicate the conditions
daily reported by the inspectors and
the precautions taken.
In the scheme for protection of these
sections outside of the sixty blocks,
the city board of health has prepared
a blank to be filled out by physicians
i'll case of death of patients. 1t is
accompanied by the following expia-
nation:
"At this time we are naturally, espe-
cially, apprehensive and anxious to
discover early cases of yellow fever,
if any occur, and we, therefore, are
including in our investigation all cases
or reports which reach this Office only
as death certificates"
Several cases suspected to be yel-
low fever rave already been reported
70 the health authorities by ear. Each
Of these has been examined several
times by state or city health author-
ties acting in conjunction with a COM
mittee Of three local physicians. These
examinations have resulted in each
case in finding that the disease was
not yellow fever.

FISHING FOR BIRDS.
Catching GuIIs and AIbatrOss With
Rod and Line.


Rod and Line.
Curious though it may seem, it is a
fact that birds are caught with rod and
line in many parts of the world. The
pastime is declared to be almost as fas-
cinating as fishing. Gulls in Newfound
land are caught in this way i'll large
quantities. In New England fishing for
gulls and petrels is an important in
dustry.
The method of bird fishing is practi
cally the same as that of ordinary
fishing. Two men go out in a dory and
throw pieces of cod liver on the water
When large quantities of birds have
been attracted to the spot more cod
liver is thrown out on a hook. This the
birds greedily swallow and thus fail
easy victims.
Albatross are fished for in the same
way off the Cape of Good Hope. 4
piece of pork is attached to a long line
and thrown overheard. The bird will
eye it for a long time, gradually and
cautiously making toward it. Suddenly
he will seize it and hold it in his beak.
When he discovers that he is caught lie
will sit on the water and vigorously
flap his wings. However, he will be
drawn into the boat and made a cap
tive.
Albatross fishing is good sport, since
the bird requires careful handling. 50
long as he pulls against the line it is
easy enough. The moment, however,
he swims forward the hook will drop
from his beak unless it is skllfully ma
nipulated, and the bird will find him
self free

The little girl, who was pale and thin,
but whose eyes cleaned with intelli-

assurance.

''You are a Jewess?"
"Yes, sir, by birth, but | have been
