Lai YELLOW FEVER SLOWLY SREAD1NG Total Cases in New Orleans Numbers 283, With 57 Deaths. QUARANTINES ARE SEVERE New Orleans, July 31. In spite of every effort of the local.ealthL-.uthor-Itles to stamp out the yellow fever plague. It steadily increases and is spreading over the city with unex pected rapidity. New cases reported up to last night, 27; total cases to date, 283; deaths, 3; deaths to date, 57; new foci, 4; total foci, 45. The work of fumigating, oiling and screening goes on and will continue dally until the city has been thor oughly screened and made mosquito proof. The record for yesterday shows little change from that of Saturday except in the reduction of the number of deaths. The decreased number of new foci is also again a source of en couragement. The success of physicians in pre venting serious outbreaks in new neighborhoods in which the disease has appeared is, of course, taken to mean that practical results are ob tained from the thorough system of screening which is now in vogue. So thoroughly has the work been syste matized that as soon as a case is re ported representatives of the board, armed with screens and disinfectants, are hurried to the house of the suf ferer, and every precaution Is there after taken to make him or her im mune to the attacks of mosquitoes. Railroads continue to be seriously hampered by quarantines which are constantly becoming more onerous as the disquietude increases in the south. A panicky feeling exists In many places outside of New Orleans, and promises still further to burden the railroads. Every day a half dozen villages are scratched off the list ofopen towns, and very often the embargo is clapped on so suddenly that passengers are caught with tickets already purchased to leave. Suspects at New York. New York. July 31. Health Officer Doty visited the quarantine islands in the lower bay, and shortly afterward three passengers of the steamer Se- gurance, namely, Miss ttgciuer, nenry Boyd as.d Miss Wempe, Were released, together with the two members of the crew of the steamer El Dorado, which arrived Saturday from New Orleans and were held for observation owing to high temperatures. The 10 mem bers of the crew of the Seguranca are pleasantly situated at Swinburne Island in the two new wards recently erected on the island. Of this number only two are seriously 111. uhey are Thomas McGill, one of the faegu- ranca's stewards, and Vincent Novo, a fireman. McGill is resting comfort ably and somewhat better. Vincent Novo, however, is quite ill. Dr. Doty said he could not definitely state whether these men are suffering from yellow fever. It was announced later that of the 10 members of the crew of the Seguranca under detention eight were suffering from malarial fever only. SCHLEY'S SISTER SEEKS DIVORCE Mrs. Marie A.

Henderson may well be proud of her physicians, for there are few towns in North Carolina of the size of Henderson where the general ability of the medical profession ra tes higher in professional skill and in ability. There exists also among the physicians of Henderson what is too rarely found elsewhere a feeling of generous good will toward one another unmarred by strifes and petty jealousies.

The Henderson Baptist Church. BY T. M. PITTMAX. The Henderson Baptist church, commonly called the First Baptist church, was constituted about 1856 by Prof. W.T. Brooks, D.D.,ofWake Forest College. It was admitted to the Tar River Association at Poplar Springs church, Franklin county, in 1858, and the fact noted as evidence of its progressiveness, that it had a Sunday-school. Dr. Brooks was pastor for some twenty odd years, until forced to re- tire by declining health, and is still i ia i . j i held in loving and warm remembrance bv older mem tiers of the church. Rev. R. H. Marsh, D. D., Rev.M.V. McDuffie, D. D., Rev. R. Van Deventer, D. D., Rev. J. W. Millard, D. D Rev. J. D. Hufham, D. D., have been the pastors succeeding Dr. Brooks, all still living and held in high regard. Rev. J. D. Larkins, the present pas tor, has served the church since 1903. The present brick meeting house was erected during the pastorate of Dr. McUnme at a cost of some $7,000. With the accession of Dr. Van De- venter May 2, 1887, was first iuaug- urated in Henderson every Sunday preaching, a policy which was soon j adopted by all the other churches in - - . .a .a a a a 1 ! tin t l-J i a rkruaf -in f nr a t r r i wrt and progressive one. The work at Carey Chapel, some four miles from town was begruri and the house of . 1 j i rni .1 1 t I worsnin erecteu. j. ne meiuuerisiiip 01 the church grew to something over two hundred, and its contributions a . ' 10 various omeccs reacueu u point wnere tney amounted ro some per capita. The short administration of Dr. Millard was signalized by the organ ization of Carey church from the mem bership of this church, which lias since grown into a self-supporting and prosperous work. During Dr. Hufham's administra tion the North and South Henderson churches were constituted, a house of worship completed at South Hender son and one begun at North Hender son. An excellent parsonage bought at the beginning of his pastorate was fully paid for as the closing feature of his work. That property is worth probably 2,500 or $3,000. Dr. Hufham's ministry here was hampered by physical weakness and ill health, which finally compelled his retirement. This was the occasion of a most unusual demonstration. The other churches of the town held a service at the Methodist Protestant church and gave many expressions of I affection and good will. Rev. Living ston Johnson, corresponding secre tary of the Baptist State convention, and Gov. C. B. Aycock, came to Hen derson and took part in the service. There has been a steady advance in all departments of the church under the present pastorate. This church has given hearty sup port to all the enterprises of the de nomination, particularly to Wake Forest College, the Baptist Orphan age and the Baptist University for Women, the largest and best equipped woman's college in the State, which was organized in this church during the session of the State convention in 1889. A woman's missionary so ciety and a Sunday-school are in ac tive operation in the church. And it has recently co-operated with the other Baptist churches of the county in organizing the Vance Baptist Union. Two ministers went out from she church during the Van Deventer pastorate, Rev. A. Cree and Kev. A. L. Cree, both highly regarded as preach ers, and able, scholarly men. Henderson Masonic Lodge. BY PROF. J. T. ALDERMAN. Henderson Masonic Lodge, No 229. was chartered Dec. 6, 1865.

Friendship of mutual confidence being the strongest bond of union between man and man, and only existing where honor has an abiding place, is adopted as a foun- dation principle. As the Ideal knight Of the Olden time was the personification of all uie mguer uuu nouier aiiriuutes oi mans nature, the candidate lor kmghthood had to prove himself worthy of acceptance by those who valued friendship, bravery, honor, justice and loyaltv The Order, Knights of Pythias founded in friendship, Charity and Tk a a .

C, when "war was in the heart of man and sorrow in his home" when from oceon to ocean, from lake to gulf,our glorious land was engaged in scenes of carnage and death. Its founder, Justus H. Rathbone, saw in Grecian history the germ of an Order that should prove a power in dispelling the warmth of sectional strife, and restoring the hearts of man to a ba.8is Of Universal brotherhood. Being a part of such an Order; founded upon such principles, and for such high and noble purposes, it is nothing but natural that Hender- son Lodge No. 85, composed of some fifty of the best men of Henderson, should be in fine shape and enjoying an era af good feeling. The Lodge is in fine condition; has a complete set of paraphernalia for either short of amplified degree work, and has money in the treasury.

GUESSING AT PEACE TERMS Tokio, July 31. The following dis patch has been received from the Jap anese army headquarters: "Our independent cavalry which en tered Rykoff (on Sakhalin Island, 45 miles northeast of Port Due) July 27 withdrew on finding order in the city unfavorable to its occupation. Our army, intending to crush the enemy's forces before they retreated from the eminences west of Rykoff, commenced to advance at 3 a. in. of July 28. The van, together witn an independent body of cavalry, advanced by forced march, attacking and dislodging the enemy holding the northern extremity of Rykoff and rushed Into the town. Confused street fighting ensued, but the town was completely taken at 8.30 o'clock in the morning. "The enemy's. main strength, which opposed our right column, fled In dis order southward, taking the short route leading to Pareono. "On July 28 a detachment which was sent soutn in pursuit oi me en emy met the enemy's infantry, some 800 strong, at a point six miles south of Rykoff and killed over 200 and cap tured 500. "The enemy's strength opposed to our right column was oi some avvv Infantry and four guns and four ma chine guns, and that opposed to our left column some 2000 infantry and four guns. 'The enemy's loss in trophies Is un der Investigation." England Stands By Japan. Washington, July 31. Japan comes to the Washington conference assured that whatever her peace terms they will have the sympathetic approval of Great Britain. Several suggestions from Washington to London that the cause of peace would be served by an expression to Japan from her ally favoring moderation in her demands upon Russia have not availed to change the British government in its apparently inalterable determination to stand by Japan however severe she makes her conditions of peace. Nor has the British government seen Its wav clear it render uuistance to Washington in the efforts which this government is making to obtain an armistice. Advices reaching here show that London is opposed to an armis tice until Japan has beeen satisfied that Russia's plenipotentiaries are prepared to do more than discuss means of ending the war;Jif Russia is readv to conclude neace ' and haa so empowered her plenipotentiaries. Great Britain, it Is believed, might t lavor an aransuce. urn even in such I . f . . . I J 1 event it is said she wouM not be will ing to offer Japan xdvir e upon the subject. It is known that Japan will demand an indemnity mat .win appro. maieiy cover the cost of the war to date. This was communicated to Russia early In the preliminary negotiations. The amount is still a secret, but It Is based upon the most careful estimates of the cost of the war. and will be accom panied by a more or less detailed statenuU showing the method by which the final figures were computed. It will not fall far short of $1,000,000. 000, according to advices reaching here from well informed sources. Be sides the indemnity, It Is believed. Ja pan's other esseptlals to the continu ance of the negotiations are the cession to Japan of Salihalien. of the Llao Tung peninsula and of the railway as far as Harbin; the recognition of Ja- pan s predominating innuence in Korea, and the return of Manchuria to China. If the Russian plenipotentiaries are preparDd to accept tnese essentials, tne officials here are confident that the bases will be laid for negotiations sure , to lead to the signing of the treaty of j Washington, bringing peace In the Far ' East.

A WOMAN'S ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs.Plnlr.ham, Lynn, Masa, and Receive Valuable Jkdvic Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, reliued woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, ven when those questions are asked by her family physician, and xnanj continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which ko many physi cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; ; and this is the rea son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre sponding with Mrs. Iinkham. at Lynn. Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women tnore wisely than the local physician.
