QUARANTINE AGAINST ORLEANS.
New York Will Inspect All Vessels
From Bubonic Plague City.

New York, June 29-Health Officer
of the port, Jos. J. O'Connell, tonight
declared quarantine against New Or
leans, on receipt of advices that sew
+eral cases of the bubonic plague had
been discovered in that city. Similar
action was taken with regard to San
tiago, Cuba, where cases of the plague
were reported.
The health officer notified steam
ship companies having vessels en-
route from New Orleans to New York
to direct the captains to report to
him on arrival for visitation and in
spection. Under his directions no
vessels from New Orleans will be
permitted to land until they have
been thoroughly inspected and treat
ed for. the destruction of rats. Ships
from Santiago de Cuba will be sim
ilarly treated. Besides New Orleans
and Santiago, the plague is said to
have been prevalent in Havana for
some months, 25 cases having been
reported in that city.
Il do not think we need fear any
plague visitation in New York" said
DR.. O'Connell tonight. However, we
are we'll prepared to cope with it. 1t
is one of the most difficult things
with which a quarantine service has
to deal. The peculiar nature Of the
agency of transmission, the rat flea,
puts it out of the question to declare
positively that it will not invade any
port, as rats and ships have been as
sociated since the beginning of his
tory.
"Fumigation for the destruction OF
rats is the most modern and efficient
measure of defence for port. This
course was initiated here the summer
before last when the plague was cpl
demic in Porto Rico and it has been
in practice with regard to Havana
ships ever since the pest was reported
there -

If you knew that you could cure
yourself or your child of malignant

its after effects.
Modern science has discovered a
vegetable substitute that produces all

AN EARLY TRAVELLER
He Brought $4,000 From Prov1-
dence to Charleston.

Few Americans OF his day travel
ed so much as did Elkanah Watson
After staying at Mount Vernon for
several days after the Revolutloh'
he said Washington invariably "aV-
ed aside all mention of his great
achievements His servants "atcheu
his eyes continuously to detect MS
wishes"
Whom Watson in the middle of the
night had a fit of coughing the Fath-
ar of His Country fetched him pot
of tea. Uppermost in Washington S
mind was a plan to connect the Poto-
mac with the Great Lakes by canal.
Watson spent a half dozen years IN
France and dined dozens OF times
with Franklin-"Papa Franklin, a
prettv Partisan lady called the phlios-
opher as she patted him on his cheek.
When still under 20 Watson had
carried $4,000 in money over 1'Zoo
miles on horseback from Providence
to Charleston, S. C. On his return
North he visited Valley Forge, the
army being still there.
According to Watson. whose own
uncle was a notorious Tory, the rich
Tory farmers of Pennsylvania could
easily have prevented the misery OF
Washington army that winter.
Years later he came to Phlladei-
phia and dined with Robert Norris
swho lived in great splendor.' The
Yankee traveller was deeply impress
ed by the floating bridge across the
schuylkill, which had been built oy
Howe's British army the winter 1t
occupied this town.
This same New Englander was
shocked when he saw the German
women working in the Pennsylvania
fields. He made one good guess, to
wit: The population of the United
States would approach 10o,oOo,oOo
by 1900.
But he made a bad guess when he
predicted that Alexandria, Va, would
become a greater city than Baltimore.
Washington also thought the same
thing.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Slow Work.

It was on an east Texas train. The
little coffee pot of an engine, having
wheezed laboriously over serpentine
rails, jolted to restful stop at no
place in particular. Time passed te-
diously. Some of the passengers
stalked nervously up and down the
aisles, while others drew their felt
hats down over their eyes and tried
to forget it. When a half hour had
elapsed, the conductor came through.
Say, friend" said a querulous
voiced old man, "as near as you can
tell, what's holdin' u.s."
Were taking on water" was the
explanation.
well, why don't you git another
teaspoon? That un seems to leak
something fearful"

Masters of Opportunity.

When he was twenty-five years OLD
Archibald Sylvester White organized
the first trust in this country. When
he was twenty-three years old he re-
tired from business with a cold
million. When he was fourteen
years old he came to New York on
the money he had saved as news
boy.
White is today forty-six years old.
He is a sturdy, sanguine, active man.
who plays as hard as he works. He
is possessed of dynamic devil. Upon
occasion he will hunt or fish or play
golf infuriatedly all day and then
keep his stenographers up all night
taking dictation. He not only wants
to get things. done, but he wants
them done his way at once. He is OF
the same type physically and mental
ly as William J. Burns, the great de-
tective. Both men are sandy haired
and blue eyed, well set up, confident,
and couple imagination with a mi
crometer shrewdness. They have the
wide-angle eye which takes in land
scape, but no detail is so trifing as
to be overlooked.
White was born in Newark, O., OF
a good family-his mothers Harring-
tons came over in Mayfower times
but reduced" BY selling papers
at morning and night he just manag-
ed to stay in school until he was four
teen years old. From the time he
was eleven he was driven by an am
bition. Newark was too small for
( him. He wanted to go to New York.
AS means to that end he saved ev-
cry penny that was not wrested from
him by the need Of the moment. When
he reached New York he started for
the Wall street district like bee for
the honey tree. Somewhere he had
heard the name of Thomas c. Platt,
who then appeared every day at the
Office of his express company. So
did White,
"You can't see Mr.. Platt," said
the clerks at the door to the small
boy from the country.
But 1 must see Mr.. Platt," said
Archie White.
He stayed in the express company's
Offices just as long each day as the
clerks would tolerate him. He came
back at the earliest possible moment
next day. He replied to urban gibe
with rural jeer, but he could not be
driven away. By and by he became
a joke with the clerks. They gave
him place on the bug bench. y
Hoping to coax smile from the
great man, one of the clerks told
Platt of the odd little boy who had
laid seige to the Office.
Send him in" said Platt curious
ly. I'D like to look at him."
He bore inspection. and Piatt gave
him a job as assistant to the driver
of an express wagon. The boy studied
at Cooper institute at night. walking
each way from the Battery to Tenth
street in order to save the dime car
fare he could not afford to spend. BY
and by he was promoted to an Office
job. He specialized on mathematics
Between times he read every book he
could find on the life OF Napoleon
Today he owns one of the most COM
plete collections of Napoleoniana in

America. He became acquainted
with a saltmaker who owned little
plant on Cayuga lake.
60 to work for me in my New
York Office" said the saltmaker. You
will have a better chance than as a
cog in a corporation business"
White has always been profound
student. From the day that he be-
gan TO enter items in the salt books
he began to study the history and
chemistry and future Of salt. He
was about twenty years old when he
resigned his ledgership and went in
to business as a saltmaker with the
little money he had saved. Veteran
saltmakers pitied him. But White
knew OF new methods and he saw
new routes by which old markets
could be reached. Within a year
the other saltmakers were begging
him to quit.
You'll ruin us all" said the vet
erans, passionately. You can't make
money at such prices"
But White was making money. BY
and by he called the saltmakers OF
the State into consultation and pro-
posed a combination Such combina-
tions have since been known as trusts.
White resists and denies that title.
His combination was just combina-
tion. He proved to them that, unit
ed, they could cut costs and add to
profits. Singly, they were headed
down hiH. The saltmakers angrily
resisted the arguments Of the boy,
largely because he was but boy.
Eventually they yielded. White be-
came president of the combination,
and, in lieu of salary and promoters S
fee, was given a large block of the
common stock. The first thing he
did was to reduce the price OF salt.
He has always justified his business
combinations by the fact that he sold
his finished product at lower price
than the individual. manufacturers
could afford, and at the same time
has invariably raised wages.
White salt combination" was
the first of the sort in the United
States. When he was twenty-three
years old he sold out for 100000
cash and 100000 in gi!t-edged Sc
curities Then he began to play a
little. He had what was perhaps the
first automobile ever seen on the
streets of New York-it was cer-
tainly the noisest-and he taught
dukes and counts in Europe how to
enjoy themselves. A little of that
tired him. A natural gas combina-
tion in the West attracted him. His
pipe line from West Virginia to Cleve.
land was the first great line ever
built. He became the foremost nat
ural gas producer. 1t is his boast
that he has never gone into COM
munity in which he did not reduce
the price of gas. The Standard Oil
company was also in the natural gas
business, but it couldn't fight White
successfully. He could think too
fast and too far for the oil men. So
he sold out to the S. o. at profit.
Whites success has been due to
his ability to harness Pegasus to a
plow. He has had the breadth OF
vision of great military commander
He sees a business situation in a high
lights and colors. Then. having de-
termined on what can be done, he ar
ranges in the most practical way to
do it. He gets every infinitesma!
bit of information before he moves
The event shows that he always
knows something the other fellow
doesn't "t.-Eerbert Corey in Atlanta
