In the heat of midsummer, when actors are supposed to be enjoying the interseason Interval, many of them, in fact, are as busy as bees with rehearsals. So rigid are the requirements of first-class theaters that even plays that have already been used for a season or more are rehearsed persistently by much the same companies that have already appeared In them long before the date of opening the new seaaon. In the case of a new play of moment weeks of the most laborious and exacting work are consumed In perfecting representation. Incident by Incident, scene by scene, act by act, the play Is labored over long before the scenic and dress rehearsals are attempted. It would seem that in most cases' the actors would get so tired of the play that is yet new to the public that they never could give that simulation of spontaneity that ls so essential to the success of a Play on its first presentation in public. Of course, something of the grinding labor of rehearsals is spiced by good humor and good fellowship, and where a celebrated actor schools a cornEany In Its work the apt and studious memers of the organization find in afoelatlon with the master mind an educational equivalent for the necessary and naturally tiresome reiteration of a part nd experiments with its "business." There is no American stage artist more able to make a rehearsal Interesting to a company than is Mrs. Flske. A series of rehearsals with thia actress furnishes an education to the observant and plastic young player. Mrs. Flske has already left her vacation place In the Adlrondacks, and from this time until the production of "Becky Sharp" at the Fifth-avenue Theater. New York, in September, she will be busy in preparation for tax: event.

NO NEW CASES REPORTED

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION AT HAMPTON COXTIMES TO IMPROVE. List of Memb'ers of the Soldiers Home Who "Were Furloughed on and After July 22 Dr. Wyman's Vleivs. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The yellow fever situation at Hampton continues fa vorable and encouraging in the opinion of the officials of the Marine Hospital Service. According to official reports there has been no spread of the contagion since yesterday, nor has any of the cases now under treatment proven fatal since that time. It is hoped to confine the disease to the Soldiers Home and Fhoebus, but Surgeon General Wyman thinks It too early to make a defi nite prophecy regarding the outbreak, as it Is only four or five days since the presence of the fever becamjj'known to the officials here. To-night, at half past 8 o'clock. Dr. Wyman received the following telegram from Dr. Vickery, stationed at the Soldiers' Home: "Situation favorable and encourag ing; no new cases and no deaths." Dr. Wyman to-night received from the home a list of the members of the institution who were furloughed on and after the 22d of July, the day alter a number of the Inmates became sick with the fever. Ac companying the names were the exact dates and time of the furloughs and the destina tion of those to whom they were granted. The surgeon general gave this information to the press and asks that newspapers in the places to which these persons have gone publish it and that medical officers hold under close observation for a period of at least ten days after they left the home, such of the inmates as they may be able to find. Most of the Inmates furloughed, f ortunately, have gone to , Northern cities. The list of Inmates furloughed, with their destination, is as follows: Henry W. Arnold. July 26, Philadelphia; John Fall. July 22. Baltimore; David W. Elddle, July 24. Harper's Ferry. W. Va.: Dnos Brand. July 25. Philadelphia; Stephen Corey, July 24, Phoebus, Va.; Thomas Cummins. July 24. Philadelphia: Thomas N. Craig, July 2?, Baltimore; William T. Flynn. July 25. Norfolk, Va.; Matthew Golin, July 25. Harrington, Del.; Samuel W. Hutchinson, July 24, Philadelphia: James Nealy, July 2$, Philadelphia; John M. Jackson, July 25, Washington. D. C; James C. Lomax, July 2S, Washington, D. C; Solomon Mullen, July 25, Elizabeth City. N. C; John McSorley, July 24, Philadelphia: Hugh McDonald, July 24. Philadelphia; John Peters, July 29. Philadelphia; Martin Specht, July 24. Hazeltown. Pa.; Edward Townsend, July 24. Philadelphia; Joseph Trantwein, July 25, Baltimore; William T. Tallinadge, July 23, Newburg, N. Y.; George A. Vance. July 2S, New York city: William U. Wheeler. July 24, Wellsville, N. Y.; John Young, July 25, Philadelphia.Surgeon Pettus wired from Fort Monroe to-night that there is nothing new to-day and that a good patrol Is being maintained. Acting Assistant Surgeon P. St. L. McCure will be on duty at Craney island. He will ?o there to-night with persons held in deentlon at Berkeley. Some from Norfolk were sent over to-day. Dr. John Archinard, of New Orleans, will reach Washington in a few days for duty that may be assigned to him. Regarding rumors said to prevail in Newport News that government experts had Fronounced the disease not to be yellow ever. Dr. Wyman and General Sternberg each laid to-night that no such Information had been sent to either of them, and that no reason was known for questioning that the disease was fever. The marine hospital officials at Hampton havs succeded In tracing: and locating the former inmate of the soldiers' home who is believed to have brought yellow fever to that place. His name is William Thomas. He arrived at the home on a transport from Santiago, where he had been visiting between July 2 and 5 last. He was admitted to the home as a veteran and shortly afterward developed chills and fever. In the light of subsequent events the experts believe there Is little doubt that he was affected with a mild case of yellow fever, although it was not diagnosed as such at the time. When well enough to travel he left the home, and his baggage was sent to Phoebus. The man himself went to Columbia City. Wash., where he now is. Regarding the probable duration of the present epidemic, Dr. Wyman said to-day: "It Ls too early yet to make predictions as to the suppression of the outbreak, only four days having elapsed since the discovery of the fever. The fact that Thomas, the original suspect, has gone north takes considerable weight off our minds, as he ls now in a latitude where there la no chance of yellow fever doing any great damage. Our past experience in the South has shown, however, that yellow fever can be suppressed and confined to the original focus of Infection when the precautions are taken early enough In the outbreak. This was shown at Brunswick in 1S94. It was also true in the outbreak at McIIenry, Miss., and Franklin, La. In the two latter epidemics there were other outbreaks In Mississippi and Louisiana about the same time, but there Is good rea son to believe the infection was carried to the outlying points before the quarantine on the original focus was put in force. We believe that the quarantine precautions as now enrorced in the south are effective. Where there has been aprjarently a spread through the official lines it has been due to tardy information of the outbreaks.. This shows the necessity of prompt reports in all suspicious cases." It was finally decided this afternoon that the garrison at Fort Monroe should be taken away on the government transDort Mc Clellan. which will leave New York to-night ana win arrive at tne rort to-morrow. Statement from Governor Woodfln. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Governor Woodfln, of the Soldiers' Home at Hampton, tonight wired the Associated Press as follows: "In view of the exaggerated reports In the daily press throughout the country as to the epidemic of yellow fever at the home, I deem it Incumbent to the duty I owe the public and particularly to the families of the four thousand members of this home to make the following statement: The dis ease nrst made its appearance about the 22d of July, when several members were sick in quarters, but did not consider themselves sufficiently ill to require hospital treatment, but on the 27th the surgeon ordered several to the hospital and not until the next day did any symptoms of yellow fever appear, at which time Surgeon Vlckery reported the facts to me and recom mended that a yellow fever expert be re quested from Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, who ordered Dr. Wasdln to report to Dr. Vlckery for the purpose or investigation. On Saturday he reached here and hesitated about rendering a decision until such time as he could hold an autopsy. Such autopsy was held on Sunday and the doctor, without hesitation, declared it to be yellow fever. Since the outbreak of the disease there has been forty cases, out of which number five have died to this date. The outlook at the present time is that if the present favorable weather continues we shall have no further spread of the fever and we feel confident the home is so thoroughly quarantined by land and water that there ls no probability of the fever spreading beyond the home limit. I am instructed by Gen. W. li. Franklin, president of the board cf managers, to spare no expense in efforts to eradicate the scourge and for the employment of immune t'octora and nurses and supplies, and can assure the public that, with our efficient medical staff, trained nurses and well-appointed hospital service. In every respect, the care which these veterans receive is equal to the best that could be provided elsewhere, even in their own homes. The Improvement in the condition of the patients. I will add. in conclusion, is so great that of the total number referred to, as having the disease, ten have been transferred back from the hospital as convalescents." Norfolk Safe from Fever. NORFOLK. Va.. Aug. 3. Dr. F. 8. Hope, quarantine officer of the port of Norfolk, who is in charge of the quarantine here, gave out an interview to-day In which he says tftere ls not a case of yellow fever nearer Norfolk than Phoebus, on the other side of Hampton Roads, adjoining the Soldiers' Home. There is a cordon of armed guards to protect Hampton and Old Point Comfort, from Phoebus. Newport News ls also maintaining a strict quarantine not only against Phoebus, but against Hampton and Old I'omt as wen. orroik. Portsmouth and all other municipalities this side of Hampton Roads have Quarantined against all the points mentioned on the peninsulas. The beach extending from Ocean View to Lambert's Tolnt, and from Big Point to Craney Island, ts also patrolled by armed land forces. Tbo lines of traffic leading into this quarantine district, both steamboat and railroad, are in charge of competent inspectors. "I think these precautions should insure not only our own people, but the

outside world that we will bar the disease out of this section," said Dr. Hope. "It cannot. In my opinion, cross Hampton Roads. There is not. nor has there been, a suspicious case this side."

ARCHITECTS BOYCOTTED Because Senator Hanna Wrote Letters Recommending; nn Iron Firm. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. The morning ses sion of the Mazet committee was largely given over to the examination of Francis T. Lantry, commissioner of correction, a to the methods adopted by the now famous architectural firm of Horgan & Slattery in its dealings with the department of correction. Nothing sensational was elicited, though the interesting fact was brought out that one of the witness's objections to the employment of Withers & Dickson, the architects, was that United States Senator Hanna had written letters recommending an Ohio iron company, which they repre sented. During the afternoon a number of the members of the Municipal Council appeared before the Maet comm'ttee and explained their views on questions relating to the double municipal assembly. There was a wide difference of opinion among them as to the value of the second house. II organ A Slattery Bankrupt. NEW YORK. Aug. 3.

A Talk Before the Ocean Grove Summer School on "Practical (Politics and Decent Politics.' OCEAN GROVE, N. J.. Aug. 3,-Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, was the guest of honor at the Ocean Grove Summer School to-night, when he delivered an address on "Practical Politics and Decent Politics" before an audience of 10,000 people. Crowds met Governor Roosevelt at the New Jersey station on his Journey from New York, cheering him heartily. At Ocean Grove he was met by a great crowd and one hundred bicyclists escorted him to hit stopping place. In front of the house a company of boys, dressed as Rough Riders, saluted him, to his great delight. The audience to-night was so extraordinarily enthusiastic that Governor RooseveJt was obliged to beg the people to moderate their cheering. The Governor said. In part: "It is idle for the mats of good citizens to try to set themselves apart as not responsible for our political shortcomings. In the end the politicians must be axactiy what the people allow them to be. They must represent the people perhaps the vice, perhaps the virtue perhaps the indifference of the. people. This does not In the least excuse ftoliticlans that are bad, and we roust keep n mind the fact that every vicious politician, above all, every successful politician, tends to debauch public conscience, to render bad men bolder and decent men who are not far-sighted more cynically Indifferent than ever. But, in blaming the politician, do not forget that we are ourselves to blame for permitting his existence. Again, do not fall into the mistake of thinking that we shall ever make politics better by hysterics In any shape or form. "It is a shame to us as a Nation that we should have tolerated. In a city like New York, an administration against which it it necessary to war, not on grounds of political expediency, but on grounds of elementary morality. , m "Just at the moment the Nation ls face to face with a duty that calls for heroism. I mean our attitude in the Philippines. We put our pick into the rotten foundations of Spanish government, botn In the East and West Indies. We tumbled the building down in as righteous a war as was ever undertaken.. Now, if we are worth our place among the great nations of the earth, we must see to it that the ruins are cleared away and the temple of Justice and honesty reared In their places. We shall be guilty of a terrible wrong to humanity if in the Philippines we retreat betore armed savagery instead of organizing a suitable government, which shall guarantee Justice to every one and an ever-increasing measure of liberty to those who prove themselves worthy of It. "The whole history of the world shows that the wrong done by the mere sentimentalist ls often of larger proportions and more elastic than any other kind of wrong, and of this wrong we shall be guilty if we fall to do our task thoroughly and well. It will call but for the merest fraction of our strength, provided only we choose to exert that strength. If, however, the people let their representatives in Congress hamper the administration, as they did last winter, when they refused to put the army upon a proper footing as to size, permanence and organization, then the people have themselves to thank if the war lingers with difficulties and dangers Increased. What the people have to do is to resolve to back up the President to the full in seeing an outburst of savagery Is suppressed once for all, and, what ls even more important, to see that these new tropic Islands In the east and west alike are not left to the prey of partisans and spoilsmen, but are governed primarily in the Interest of their Inhabitants, and, therefore, ultimately for the honor and renown of America." Governor Roosevelt spent the night at ice President Hobart's summer home, at Norwood. Jones Will Delay Resignation. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: "Senator Jones, of Arkansas, wished to return home from Europe as early as Sept. 1, but his physicians laid on hint the injunction not to leave there before Oct. 1. The senator writes to a friend In this city that he feels as well as at any time in twenty years and has not the slightest premonition of another attack of the heart disease from which he suffered. It is learned from a friend of the senator that he is not ambitious to hold the chairmanship of the executive committee of his party, but that It was not deemed wise to resign at this time and invite a scramble for the place. Hence, without quoting Senator Jones himself, he says that the senator will resign the leadership of the Democratic committee by the time of the national convention so as to give an opportunity for the choice of another man." To Succeed Bland. FULTON, Mo., Aug. 2. The Elehth dis trict Democratic convention this evening nominated Judge uorsey w'.

Lawyer Tnrple Fell Three Stories. from Lahr Honse and Was Killed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 3 James TI. Turple died at 3 o'clock this morning as the result of a fall from a wlsdow on the third floor of the Lahr House an hour and a half earlier. Mr. Turpie came home on the 11:35 o'clock Wabash train last night, registered at the hotel and asked to be assigned to a quiet apartment. At 1:30 a. m. his nude and bleeding body was found by & messenger boy on the cement sidewalk in front of the hotel, and all efforts failed to revive him. The accepted theory is that he had been sittlne In the window to cool off and fell out while dozing. The bed showed It had been occupied, but the heat was too Intense and he sought relief. Ha had apparently propped himself in the window with a screen, which fell to the street with his body. The gas Jet was found burn ing low in the room after tne acciaent, out this ls a precaution which any one In strange quarters might have taken on arising. Thers is a story out that it may be sui cide, but this idea is not borne out by the established facts. Mr. Turple showed no signs of mental derangement or despondenev on arrival at the hotel and his friends scout the idea of self-destructiotn. Mr. Turpie had been engaged the day before in a lawsuit at iogansport over some property Interests. This city had been his home in recent years, where he owned an elegant residence and other property, but recently his wife and seven children removed to a Nebraska ranch for which he had traded. In the civil war he lost an arm. He was well known and highly respected. Press regorts stating that he was a brother of exenator David Turpie were wrong, as he was In no wise related to the statesman. Turple's Old Lawsnlt. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Aug. 3. There Is much speculation in regard to the probable effect the tragic death of James H. Turple. at Lafayette, this morning, will have on the celebrated Turple-Lowe litigation, extending over a period of about fourteen years. In December, 18S5. James H. Turple transferred all hia real estate in Ohio and Indiana to Hugh Lowe, of White county, in consideration of Lowe's agreement to pay Turpie's debts. The property transferred represented a value of $75,000. Shortly after Turple began suit demanding damages and a reconveyance of a part of the land. The first trial gave him a verdict of $8,000, and a rehearing resulted in a verdict of $52,000 for Turpi. On appeal to the Supreme Court th defendants obtained a sweeping reversal, and a few weeks ago the rlaintiff's attorneys began proceedings making up Issues for a new trial. Lowe is a very wealthy man and Turple was impoverished by the long suit. TO JOIN FEDERATED CLUBS. Woman's International TJnlon Label Lea fine Takes a New Step. Special to ths Indianapolis Journal.

True, here I am In a horse baraar await lng my turn to na knocked down by tha auctioneer's hammer, but I will not pretend that I am resigned. No. Not only do I sadly recall when I was an honored member of my roaster's household, but It adds extra anguish that through temporary association with a learned circus Meed I once became familiar with much of the glorious history of my race. And reflection upon this increases my sorrowing wonder at man's small sense of honor in that he Is so willing to cast us aside forever in favor of these unthinking monsters of rubber and steel automobiles and bicycles. In a few minutes moro the decision of the red-faced auctioneer now prodding me in the ribs may make me a life-long drudge upon some Jersey farm. But whatever my fate, I can never forget who I am or the stock from which I spring. And if I kIiow more than usual feeling in thus Indignantly lamenting that Ingratitude can so hand me over to the highest bidder, something of it may arise from the fact that I Uill recall the tradition which runs our lino back to the Centaurs: to a time when men apparently so loved us that it was common belief they regarded us as of one body and feeling with themselves. And when I claim that the voice of all ages, of all progress speaks through me protesting against these mechanical beasts which foreshadow our speedy destruction I think I have good reason for it. Point out any degree of the earth's advancement that we were not helpful la bringing about? Show me any nation or age or brAnch of human effort where we were not honored and useful. The oldest of poets, story tellers, historians and even Holy Writ bear our family their tribute of exalted praise. Most ancient Egypt shows us carved and pictured, with proudly arching necks in her oldest testimonies. Job speaks of our warlike nostrils sniffing the battle from afar. Homer in stately measures sings our fame. Even a, wooden horse, Virgil tells us, was effective at Troy, and Alexander loved as a FOn the Bucephalus that none but a king might ride. And what was Fegasus, on whom the in spired poet winged his flight to the empyrean. Since civilization and mankind had thesa reasons to be grateful to our forerunners, should they not show us, the descendants of these worthies, at least enough respect not to send us to the auction block? But as If to make the enormity of this crime against us even more pronounced, for the past eighteen hundred years the world's obligations to the horse have really been greater than ever before. To omit for the sake of brevity all other channels of human activity In which we had our share of usefulness t will only mention literature. Is It not conceded by even the moM obstinate and unenlightened that among the greatest powers) for the world's improvement has been the printing press? What gave rise to the printing press but literature, and who plays to Important a part In literature as the horse? In fact, withoui us where would letters be? Borak. the horse of Mahomet: Babieca, the steed of Cld Campeador; Black Bess, of Dick Turpln fame; Copenhagen, owned by Wellington; White Surrey, the hump-tackct Rlchard'e mount; Be vis, Lord Marmion'a charger; Roslnante, the peerless possession" of Don Quixote, and the enchanted horse of the Arabian Nights are but a few of thousands of Instances of our lasting ln?uence In tho various utilities of the pen. Let me ask, in parenthesis, whether it likely that these things of wind and wheels, for whom we must step aside, are ever likely to b embalmed In story or In song? When, yielding to the inevitable and giving way to such senseless bits of mtchsnism our tribe becomes as extinct as the dodo or ichthyosaurus, how will the beautiful treasures of all language be understood by future aces? What is to become of that army of noble metaphors that in a horseless age must be without either meaning or vitality? Then, again, what effect must our final disappearance make on the world of the book and stage. Would the summer novel exist without a runaway which carries the heroine to the dread abyss, where the omnipresent hero catches her in the nick of time? And how can the writers of the future, the G. P. R. James', for Instance get along without "a solitary horseman was seen riding." etc. At the same time the very thought of "The Sporting Duchess" without blooded racers ls monstrous. And rising from smaller to greater, when the horse passes away how can the newspaper refer to the expected Man on Horebaclc who Is to modify the destiny of the Frcnclj republic? For all my own unfortunate deetlny nrtght seem to show mo without them, I know our race has still many friends, loving, tried and true. But while conceding this fact, it ls folly to deny that the tide appears to have set against us. It ls not hard for me to remember In my own comparatively short career that some of the best friends we have ever had have passed away, and the number seems to be growing less. Who stood sponsor for more of our good qualities than Bonner, nnd now he is gone? Mjr eyes perhaps are dim. but 1 can still see something of prolongation for our brief future in such men as Cassatt and others, yet 1 cannot rid myself of the dread that what the merciless Juggernaut did for India the automobile may in time do for us. Such are a few of the reflections that come to me over the prospect of the bicycle and automobile shortly making this a horseless world. 1 have merely thrown them out as texts which any who choose may amplify. If ungrateful men and so-called civilisation must drive us out of existence, for their sake In a last wish of love, I pray our extinction may be so complete that regret will not return to them even la the shape of a nightmare. But I am at the end of my tether, for here comes the nonler to lead me to the block. Farewell.
