YELLOW FEVER AT MONTAUK.
By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor.
MONTAUK, August 17. The number
of suspected yellow fever cases in de
tention at the hospital have lncreas
ed from twenty-seven to thirty-six by
the discovery, of nine new cauea aboard
the St. Louis. The camp physicians
consider this discovery of new cases
as having a serious aspect, as the camp
has not been quarantined as yet. Last
night the following notice was posted:
Orders have been received to quaran
tine the camp, but General Young says
the order is not effective. In the opin
ion of army officers the camp should
be quarantined should fever appear,
but the right of State officers to force
unv sort of regulations upon what is
practically a government reservation
is pointedly disputed by the officers,
considering that General Young alone
can act in the matter. Some fear of
civil and military authorities becoming
entangled.

Recently Captain Denson and Mr.
W. N. Jones, from the Board of Public
Charities, made their annual tour of
Inspection through the Central Hos

I 'eigh
Captain Denson stated to-day that
the Institution was found in excellent
order. There are now more patients
In the asylum than ever before in its
history. However, the committee
found the accommodations for females
Inadequate since there are now 255 wo
men, in the wing when it was onlv
built to provide for 224.
Captain Denson said that theVinnex
to the north wing for males which has
Just been completed is a perfect gem.
It Is" a well-arranged hospital with an
admirable system of shower-baths,
pleasant balconies, is finely lighted and
ventilated and can be reached without
access to other parts of the building,
thus affording good classificatio. The

MRS. T. R. FENTRESS DEAD.
Yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock,
the home of her son, Mr. Herbert
Fentress, -in Wilmington, Mrs. T.
at
L.
R.
Fentress breathed her last. She was
for many years a resident of Raleigh,
coming here when first married, and re
maining until after the death of her
husband, the late T. R. Fentress. Here
was raised her family, consisting of
Miss Maggie Fentress, who married Mr.
E. M. Nadal, of Wilson; George Fen
tress, who died In California; Miss
Blanche Fentress, of Wilmington;
Theo. L. Fentress, who died here, Her
bert F. Fentress, of Wilmington; Mrs.
Effle White, wife of Sam C. White;
of Baltimore; and Mrs. Lula Taylor,
widow of the late W. Ford Taylor.
Mrs. Fentress was a most lovable
lady and was held in the highest es
teem by a large circle of friends in
Raleigh, for her christian virtues, mod
esty, wisdom, dignity of character and
gracious manners. She was for many
years a" leading member of Edenton
Street Methodist church.
The remains of this good lady arrived
here this afternoon and were met at the
depot sby the Rev. W. C. Norman and
friends of the family, and carried direct
to the oemetery for Interment. - . V
MUSTERING OUT
R gimeut Will Doubtless be
B ought to Raleigh Agaiu
The announcement from Washington
that 50,000 of the volunteers will soon
be mustered out of service and that
either the Second or Third Regiment
from this State will be among this
number, has caused no little interest
throughout thee tiy. Many questions are
asked as to how the troops will be mus
tered out.
If the Second Regiment is mustered
out of the service as a body, as many
think will be the case, it can be stated
with reasonable certainty tV;it the plan
of procedure will be as follows: The
regiment will be ordered to the point
where it was mustered into service,
namely, Raleigh. The government will
then send or designate some armf Of
ficer to muster the regiment out. A
detailed report must then be submitted
to the army official from each com
pany. This report will be a complete
muster-roll of the company, namely, a
concise history of every man in the
company, from the day he entered the
service until he is mustered out. The
officer will then pay off the entire regi
ment according to these muster-rolls
from the various companies. The gov
ernment not only pays for al the time
spent in the service, but in addition
each man receives a day's pay for
every twenty miles he has to travel to
reach his home or the point at which
he entered the service.
The work of compiling these muster
rolls and paying off the men requires
much work and can not be accom
plished in a day. Hence if the Second
Reziment is mustered out now it is
reasonably certain that it will be or
dered to Raleigh and will remain here
a week or ten days before the soldiers
are paid off and get their final dis
charge.
If the Third Regiment is mustered
out an officer will simply be sent to
Fort Macon and there pay off the men
for their time and also one day's com
pensation for every twenty miles from
Fort Macon to the point which the re
spective companies came,
MICAJA AND THE HOBO.
A Jewel Picked Up in the Street.
A typical hobo, who appeared, as one
the Vesuvius might have blown from
Santiago here, was led to the bar of
Judge Roberts' court this morning by
Micaja, the janitor. His gait was sail
or-like, yet his toilet betokened the
want of naval discipline, decorum and
sanitation. The Judge scanned the
hobo closely and opened the blockade
with hot shots of interrogatory:
"What is your name?" asked th
Judge.
"Name," what's in a name," replied
the hobo. "I have stood within the
dock of police courts with George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Henry
Clav, John Brown and others, you
might register me as Dewey, Schley,
Hobson, Cervera, Weyler or even
Blanco, yet I have been known as plain
John Smith Simply John, without an
"What do you do, sir?" continued the
Judge.
"Do," responded the hobo. "Why sir
when I strike a village I ruse, and
here I find a splendid opportunity to
fuse."
"How do you subsist?" inquired his
worship.
"eubsist, why sir, I eat pie, with
without a top crust. It is the funda
mental law in fusing to eat pie. This
bailiwick owes me pie. I let a gener
ous public act as confidential agent
and collector of pie. The Dockerys can
not eat It all."
"Where is your home?"
"Home, home, sweet home, be it eve
so humble there's no place like Ral
eigh for grassy sidewalks, dog killers
and pie-eating fusees."
Should I release you now, will you
report to me tomorrow morning?" ask
ed Judge Roberts.
"Report! a fusionist never reports.
It is inconsistent with our organiza
tlon to permit the right hand to know
if the left hand holdeth pie. We eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow there
may be NO PIE."
"What do you think then, I had bet
ter do with you?" finally interrogated
the Judge.
"That, sir, may it please your wor
ship, is asking of me an opinion from
which. If given you might dissent. Yet
since vou ask it I will say, take me
into keeping, wash and scrub me, sleep
and grub me but give me pie. Then
prerjare your protocol of peace and
I will scrutinize its conditions and del
egate authority to my friend John Up
church to reject it or for me and in
my stead affix my signature."
"After thirty days hard labor on the
roads," said the Judge, "there will be
an order issued for a cessation of pork
and beans and you can return to your
pie."
