Guests Leave Hotels at Old Point Comfort at Three O'clock This Morning . on Special Train. Entire Country About Hampton May be Quarentined. Washington, July 31.-The War De partment officials are greatly alarmed over the yellow fever situation nt the Soldiers' Home at Hampton, Vu. Sur geon General Sternberg conferred with Secretary Root about the mutter this morning. It iK probable that the Josiah Simpson Hospital lit Hiiinpton will be turned over to surgeons, under Surgeon General Wynian, to use as au isolating hospital. The authtitics here are preparing to ' adopt stringent regulations to prevent a spread of the disease, but admit that the deluy hi properly diagnosing the '.-axes has made the situation serious. Excur sion parties been to the soldiers' home since the appearance ther of yellow fever and they are now scattered iu all parts of th United States. Surgeou-Geueral Wyuian and Surgeon General Sternberg will confer today on tbe proper steps to be taken to prevent an epidemic throughout the country. It is not probable that Norfolk and the en tire country about Old Point Comfort 'and Hampton will, be quarantined. More than 4,000 veterans 6f tin civil war are sheltered in this home. When this fact is considered, the feerUmsne.-s . of the situation may readily bo seen The Norfolk Board of Health iis quarantined against Old Flint, Hamp ton, and Newport News. Police uft'cers have beeu sent out along the water front to watch for tugs, sail t'"i'g and ether craft. There is much excitcun n:. '1'he board of health at midnight issued his order: "Until further orders a stdict quaran tine is hereby declared ngiinst Old Point, Phoebus, Hampton, Newport News and adjacent country." QUESTS LEAVE. New Port News, July 31. Two more cases of yellow fever are reported In the soldiers' home today and one more death. No tains or boats are running frui this city. Over a .hundred guests left the hotels at Old Point Comfort at three o'clock this morning on a special train. . 40 CASES, DEATHS. Washington, July 31. According to advices to the War Department the to tal is forty cases of yellow fever at Hampton and six deaths. ... AN IDEAL INSTITUTION. The home at Hampton has always been regarded as an ideal institution of the kind, admirably situated and excellently managed. There are 4,000 boys In blue who fought in the War of the Rebellion, and at Mexico with Scott and Taylor, installed as guests. Food and lodging in a first class hotel are no more invit ing than the living held out by the gov ernment to the hoary veterans who at the autumnal stage. of their life find Lord Bountiful in Uncle Sam. Col. Woodfin, the Governor of the home, is a firm, bat kindly ruler, and has the ' love and isteem of every soldier. The home, or, literally speaking, the homes; covers a broad sweep of territory over looking Hampton Roads, where the first combat between iron ships the Monitor and Merrlmac was fought. That Gov. " Woodfin is familiar with the adage which places cleanliness before godll- - ness la seen by an inspection, of the bar racks and hospitals and the immense .'dining ball, which feeds tbe veteran in squares of 1,600. Strangers have al- - ways been admitted dally and the home ' thrown open to callers, thus accentuating the publicity of the institution. i Tbe first "essential for enduring hot pells is to get plenty of sleep. There is eminent medical authority for tbe state ment tbat. heat prostrations are due much more to the exhaustion incident to insufficient sleep on V successive v hot nights than to the actual intensity of tbe daily beat .

The finance committee will probably recommend hat the city pay for what water the city uses and require the water company to pay tax, I President Lewis stated before the Finance Committee that the plant was worth $100,000 when the matter of paying the, water rent was up. The Water Company has refused to allow the city to use the automatic tl ushers, which the city has put iu nt the cost of $17 each, because the con tract calls for flushing by hose, cisting the city, $1,200 a year, which would j be saved by using automatic Hustlers. ' If the comptny does not rescind .ind j allow the automatic flusers then the city j will retaliate by using the hydrants the ten in in ii tea allowed for duelling and will also flush the gutter sfroui all the 1-3 hydrants with two inch hose .la'ly. This will doubtless bring .no company to terms. The taxes on $100,000 would amount to $1,233, and the city would pay $75 a year for water to sprinkle streets. Ac cording to contract the city now pays $5,000 for water for other purposes. The finance committee is now waiting to bear from the Water Company. MONTH OF AUGUST.

"I am glad he stated plainly that his interest was aroused particularly on this subject now by The Times-Visitor. There is no doubt but that tbe great public interest awakened on the subject here is due to The Times Visitor." I Capt. Denson's modesty doubtless pre I vented him from, giving due credit to himself, for by his labors the facts have been brought to light. In him the re forniiitory has its strongest champion.

QLENN ON REFORMATORY Pastor of Central Methodist .. Church Says His Aileniton .s Direc ted to the Subject by Times-Visitor- Rev. Dr. Brnttou, rector of St. Mary's school, conducted tbe services Sunday morning in th church of the Good Sheph erd. Dr. Bratton is n pleasing speaker and the purity of his soul is plainly writ ten upon his countenance. He -took for his text the 25th verse of the 24th chap . ter of Acts (narrating Paul's trial be fore Felix) "And lis be reasoned of righteousness, temperance ami judgment to come, Felix trembled, am) answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have n eoiiveiiient season I will call thee." I'nul was on trial for being a Chris tian, fur turning from despised .luilisin to Christianity, which was held in the most supreme contempt. This great trial is ever being re-enacted.. Felix was brought face to face with life and death. Felix was satisfied that there was im ease against Paul, but his curiosity was amused anil lie heard I lie apostle anil as Paul reasoned of righteousness, tern Iterance and judgment to come, Felix trembled. Dr. Bratton said that the iiiestioii might be asked why Paul ssiki on tln.se subjects, why he did not talk of Christ' Paul sought to prepare tin way by lirst securing conviction. If he hail spoke of Christ's life then he would have nrouscd Felix's ridicule. There are elements of universal truth which must lie known and felt lief. ne the message of the Savior can be received. Puul rcusoued on three subjects and carried conviction to Felix so that he trembled. Dr. Bratton discussed these in their order: 1. Righteousness, giving to all they dues. Christians as well as Felix need this call to their duties today. Shall I'nul cease to speak before us today? 2. Temperance, its broad sense, meaning self-restraint. Men fall into intemperance when they make their piiuds subject to their appetites and passions. Temperance refers to meats and other things as well as to drinks. Tbe temperate man holds the reigns of action in hand subject to judgment, reason uud conscience. Sin seen is not more sinful than siu concealed. "Shall Puul cease to speak before nsV" 3. Judgment to come, ami as he rea soned Felix trembled. But trembling did not save him. Conviction is not conversion; if precedes the new birth. Dr. Bratton, iu discussing Felix's post ponement until u more convenient sea son, said that when we consider the re sistetice to the gospel, the pleasure-loving world iu which we live, the pressing exactions of business, the passions clam oring for gratification, the wonder is not tlmt the gospel bus so few but that it has so many. But Felix dismissed Paul until a more convenient time. Each man bus his opportunity. However, many n mail since owes his conversion or new birth to the biblical account of Felix's lust opportunity, while many, like Felix, say, "At some duy, but not now, not while 1 am strong." Such is the very time they need the check of God's mes sage. In closing Dr. Bratton spoke of the danger and sin of delaying until ill. when death is in sight, when the pleas ures of youth are the pain of age, when the day is spent and night has come. These opportunities we must answer for when we stand With Paul and Felix in the great day of final reckoning. Service t the Central . -ist church yesterday morning were full of Interest and het sermon, was on nn importiiut subject and along thorough ly practical lines. The pulpit was . -citpied by tbe pas:..r. i.c. i- ami his theme was "The Increase of Crime ami Its Cure." Iu the outset Mr. Glenn referred to the editorial in The Times-Visitor of lust Thursday afternoon referring to the increase of crime, and juvenile crimi iioi Is uud said that this had suggested his theme. While distinctly stating that he was not a pessimist yet in tthe light of the farts 'presented there could be no doubt that crime was on the increase. Mr. Glenn read two para graphs from the report of Secretary Den- !.... St...,i..1 nt Chjiritlm. anil son w i 1 1' 1 1 1 1 v ....... v v. . I pressed home to his congregation the importance of exercising a strong relig ious ipfiue'hce, especially in the lives of the young, to cheeky the increase of crime In this city and State. He also referred bis congregation to the sta- tistics published in the Times-Visitor i bf Saturday evening regarding the ar- rest of minors in Raleigh. Mr. Glenn , brought put many strong points showing the necessity of a reformatory In North Carolina as already exists in almost ' every other State. - . ' ... THE CITY WILL ACT All Curbed Side-walks Must be Paved IE OWNERS D0NT CITY WILL Hargett and Davie Streets Will be Paved with Belgian Block Street Committee at Work Chairman Drewry of the street com mittee said today that the work of paving the sidewalks will be rapidly pushed.

Notices will tomorrow be issued to every single property owner, without exception, where the walk has been curbed to put down paving.

This was the case on South and Jones streets, but now no exceptions will be made. The street commissioner has also beeu instructed to measure up all the mac adam and charge up the pro rata p'irt to each property bolder.

SHOULD REINSTATE PROF. 1RBY. i Communicated.) To the Editor: Being an alumnus oi the A. and M. College I have watched with great interest the ninny chnng-s that have taken place there of late. Two years ago many changes were made, one of which has especially been regretted. I took the agricultur.il course, and naturally I feel more interest n the welfare of that department. I urn somewhat puzzled to know why Prof. B. Irby has not been reinstated. He was unjustly removed by the fusion board, nnd I thought, as did every baily else, that this wrong would be righted ns soon as possible by a Dem ocratic board. Prof. Irby was always regarded by the students ns one of the best teach ers in the faculty. His influence for good among the students was recognized by all. He was one official nguinst whom there was no fault to be found by the board of trustees, and, to my knowledge, never any just complaint against hm by nny student. He gave his classes thor n gn instruction, and conducted his farm de partment in a business-like manner, thereby winning the confidence of all. By inquiry I find that his opposition comes not from the college frtcu'ty, but from a few members of that body. It strikes me that the appointing power resides in the hoard and not in tbo faculty. Now shall we set aside a man who is thoroughly conversant with the needs of our North Carlina farmers nnd who is already well acquaint 'd with our people, soils, climate, etc., of our Stale for a stranger who has all f these things to learn and who in the end may prove to be a failure. Prof, Irby Is a Southern gentleman, educated in one of the leading South ern A. and M. Colleges and home tabnt should be recognised if we expect to offer any encouragement to our South em young men, . Prof. Irby has had a broad experi ence in farnilnn. and has the 'conn- dence of the farmers generally through- out the State. ylt is desired by the leading agricnl- turigts of -b. State that the ' board may see their way clear to Telnstatlng Prof. Irby at their next meeting. Respectfully yours, OLD STUDENTv WHO WILL SUCCEED? Gossip Among. Politicians Over Wilmington Postoffice RUSSELL VS. CHADB0URN Mrs. Darby Mentioned as .Probable Suc cessor to Chandbonrn Fred Rice in a Tangle The Times-Visitor stated last week on apparently good authority that Post master Clindliourn of Wiliuinglni. !i .-. resigned his position. It was further said that G. Z. French would succeed him. Anent this matter the following spe cial from Raleigh appeared in several papers of the State last Saturday: "A few days ago the fact was re portitl that plaiKs were on foot to rein. ice William 11. Chadhotirii, postmaster at Wilmington, because of his liavlng writ ten a letter to Senator I'litchmd last year saying there was mgro dr.niria tiou in North Carolina, this letter be ing regarded by State Chairman Holton as the prime cause of the republican de feat. News comes today that Chad Iiiiiiiii has teinlered his resignation; that it has been aiieteil, nnd that George Z. Frciu-h, tine of the repuNMi-ans wh. were driven from Wiliiiinx'ion iiiiiiic dintely after the Inst election, will suc ceed him. The plain declaration is made in Wilmington that French will not be permitted to return there. He went there for a few hours thwo months ago, but received formal notice that if he repeated this it would be at the risk of his life." The resignation of Mr. Chadbourn is now the principal theme of the poli ticians here and the question of his suc cessor is much discussed. The special above quoted is not entirely correct. For instance, by that account Governor Russell desired Chndbourn's retention, while as a matter of fact he was even more anxious to have him removed Or sci lire bis resignation than was Chnuc nniii Ilolton. Mr. Clindliourn has thus far declined to disciissbis reported resignation. He keeps ominous silence. Various charges, it is rumored here, were brought against his administration of office. As a -,en-tleuiau remarked, "It seems strange that Postmaster Chadburn would quietly resign unless charges were brought. A United States Senator niay be power ful ,liut he cannot have a postmaster re sign just because he wrote a business letter stating tbe social and political condition in his city at the time." If charges have beeu brought against Mr. Chadbourn, who is considered one of the best business men in Wilmington, and has the confidence of all, then they should be made public. If his resigna tion was secured simply because he wrote an honest letter in the campaign then such conduct by the administration should be denounced. So far as a successor to Postmaster Chudbouro is concerned, the statement that Gerge Z. French will succeed him is not credited here. The administration does not intend to antagonize the wishes of the people of Wiluiingtn and there is no probability of his being appointed. Among those con sidered most probable here are: Col. Foster, a prominent Republican. and a business liiim of the place. The assistant postmaster, who is said to be acceptable. Mrs. Darby, who was the Governor's stenographer. There are several indications that Mrs. Darby may get the place. Fred B. Rice could be appointed, it Is said, but he has already secured a $2, 4X life job. However, Rice is now in a tangle over getting the place. W. H. Gannon, for many years United States inspector of hulls and steam ves sels, was at Xewbern Friday and in spected a vessel. Fred B. Rice, who has been commissioned to succeed Gnm- niin, was also there, aud also inspected a vessel. Gannon intends to hold his dice, uud will take legal steps to prevent Rice from serving. Rice made formal demand uhiii Gannon, whu declined to retire. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Regular meeting Centre Lodge, No. 3 every Monday night. Members and visiting Knights cordially invited. G. J.
