Steamers that stopped at Newport News and those that took on passeniiers nt Old Point Comfort were not allowed to tie up at Norfolk. The city Is in excellent Knnitnty condi tion, ami nil that skill can avail will lie done to prevent the introduction of the fever. There nre no case and no sus pects in Norfolk. The hotels at Oil Point Comfort are practically deserted. The Soldiers' home is strictly jrunrded. a cordon of soldier surrounding the place nnd allowing no ne to enter or leave. It is believed that the fever in ay be confined to the place of its origin, as everything thnt science or discipline can do will be done. Newport News nnd Old Point Comfort are believ ed to he snfe. The last epidemic of yellow fever in Norfolk nnd vicinity wns the great plague of l.N.Vi, which devastated the three communities of (losport, Norfolk and Portsmouth nnd ranks in medical history as one of the most severe epidem ics this country has ever witnessed. Ie splte the fact that a third of the popula tion of these three towns (fled when the disease reached epidemic proportions the total death lint for the three months of pestilence was 1,8)7. The death rate was more severe than during the black plague in London in 1 .. Thut scourge carried off 100.000 people, hut the mor tality was only 1 in 17. During the Nor folk epidemic it was 1 in 3. The fever was brought to the port by the West In dia steamer Den Franklin from St Thomns, where yellow fever was raging. The latest report received here from the Soldiers' home gives the total number of cases as 33, an increase of only three during the day. There was one death yesterday afternoon. The universal hope now is that the disease will be con lined within the home limits, and the authori ties nt the institution by telephone ex press confidence thut this will be done. Cnptata Slionld Not I.nr Out Ills Ves tal's Oonrar Without A slstnnee. All theories nbmit magnetic attrac tion and unknown currents will have to be dismissed so far ns the Paris ncci tfent Is concerned, says the Philmlel jilihi Press. It demonstrates one weak feature in the. method now followed In determining the course of n, vessel at ecu. The captain of n vessel determines the course wlthput consultation with the other navigating officers. If lie makes a mistake there is no cheek on him, unless the man on the bridge dis covers land or a light thnt causes a change. The suggestion made some time ago, thnt more thnn one officer should take )art in laying the course of n vessel, 'neons to be a wise one. The captain could, for that matter, proceed ns he does now, but if unot her officer were re quired to make n separate calculation and give it to the captain, a mistake Biich ns thnt made by Capt. 'Watkins might easily be discovered in time nvert disaster. Age and experience do not guarantee freedom from error. Accidents more often happen to the experienced cap tains thon to the inexperienced ones. Terhaps in a long course of years they are apt slightly to relax their vigilance, nnd then comes the dnnger. The cap tains of all the steamship lines lay out the course of their vessels without check of any kind from other officers. There would appear to be need of a change In that respect.

The Peitry Itellef. ST. JOHN'S, N. F., Aug. 1. The Pea ry relief stentner IMnim passed out the trait of Hello Isle on her way north mst Tuesday. She signaled off Untile ilarbor, Labrador, "All well," Judging from the reports of shipping from north tii Labrador, the IMnnii will meet heuvy ce packs in the vicinity of the (Jreen sod coast, and this will probably dcluy .uer return considerably. An orchestra, composed entirely of young women, is playing at a South side summer garden, says the Chicago Jour nal. The star of the organization, viewed from the standpoint of the young men, is a brunette. She is an exceptionally pretty woman, easily the fairest of the players. She is almost as big a draw ing card as the whole orchestra. The other evening two men seeking pleasure dropped into the garden, nnd immediately fell under the spell of the young woman. To be as near as possi ble to the musician they moved to the table nearest the orchestra. The belle of the negregatlon wos operating her trombone industriously. The young men sat entranced.

"A 'dummy.' Who?" "Why, the brunette. Not a note come from her trombone." "Nonsense," "Fact; listen." An el the two listened again, and found it was even so. The young wom an probnbly drew her snlary for her good looks. CURED BY JEALOUSY. How One 'Woman Va Made Well and nosy by the Green-Ryed Monster. It would never do to give any clew to the identity of the physician who con ducts a private hospital and who has just successfully accomplished a new eparture in medicine, says the ban Francisco News Letter. One of the patients is a wealthy but ignorant woman, who has been for many years a confirmed hypochondriac and who had successively tried allopa thy, homeopathy, hydropathy, osteop athy in short, everything pathtc. The patience of her husband was final ly exhausted and he consented to enter into a conspiracy with the doctor to play upon his wife's jealousy. It was arranged that he should seem deeply smitten with a young widow, healthy, rosy und jolly, who is secretly engaged to be married to a Los Angeleno, There was no question about the un happy hypochondriac's jealousy. It blazed out in a hysterical declaration thut the pretty widlow was waiting for her old bhoes, but she vowed that she would get better just to spite her sup posed rival and to be avenged upon her' faithless husband. She lias kept her word and is now cer tainly fair, fat and 40. But her doctor says she is an example of the jealousy cure. DID NOT DREAD DEATH.

While drinking whiskey was the fashion all about him, Abraham Lin coln never forgot his dead mother's request to close his lips against intox icants. Once when he was a member of Congress, a friend criticised him for his seeming rudeness in declining to test the rate wines provided by their host, urging as reason for the reproof: "There is certainly no danger of a man of your years and habits becom ing addicted to its use.' "I meant no disrespect, John, an swered Mr. Lincoln, "but I promised my precautious mother only a few days before she died that I would never use anything intoxicating as a beverage, and I consider that promise as binding today as it was the day I gave it. "There is a great difference between a child surrounded by a rough class of drinkers, and a man in a home of re finement," insisted the friend. "But a promise is a promise forever, John, and when made to a mother jit is doubly binding, replied Air. Lin coln. Niagara Falls Excursions. Low-Rate Vacation Trips via Pennsylvania Railroad. Suicide Became a Moral Epldrnile la the Later IJnjs of the Ho. man Umpire. . Among the cultivated men and wom en of the later Human empire suicide became a sort of moral epidemic, says the London Spectator. The fashionable Stoic doctrines, acting on a race which hud begun to degenerate und decline and lose its grip on life, killed the dread of death. Men If ft the world for a whim, "only on the thought to do the same thing over and over again," The Christian doctrine that self-slaughter is a sin did not affect them, and the no tion that there was something base in quitting one's post was not yet born, Drydeu, in one of his dramas, contrasts finely the feeling about suicide of the ancient und modern world. The Itom ans, he says, might "discharge their souls" and give them leave to euter the other world. Uut we, like sentries, are compelled to BSMid " 'iieath starless skies und wait the appointed hour." llr. Cioodhardt, speaking of the dreml of death, says: ' "I am never tired of saying, becuuse I am sure it is u truo us it is comforting, although in oppo sition to the general belief, that death lias 110 terrors for t lie pick man.

In Bedford county six horses have recently died of the disease and two men have been attack ed by it, one of them fatally. A year ago two tanneries in the vicinity, in which these deaths occurred, were im pregnated with the germs of anthrax, brought into this country in hides from China, and a number of cattle died as the result of drinking from a stream near the tanneries, which had to be abandoned by their owners in the in terest of the public health. Last spring a gypsy camped at the deserted tanneries, and soon after a horse he had with him died of anthrax. An epidemic of the disease followed the occurence, because the animal had not been properly buried. The early destruction of the infected tanneries is probable. Delightful Vacation Trip.

Smoke of calcimined walls may be removed by rubbing the soiled place lightly with stale bread, changing the pieces of bread as soon as they be come soiled. This may make the spot a little lighter than the surround ing surface; in which case pass a piece of cheesecloth lightly over the wall, working toward and over the light part, as this will take a little of the color over, and so shade up to the light spot that it will not be notice able.
