MRS. JEFF. DAVIS Homs.

A Protest against the Confederate rf"si-
dents Widow Rosiding in the y III.
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. IA The contin-
ued residence of Mrs. JeEerso.. y ,v,s IN
New York city, has been quietly criti-
cised in Southern circles for some time.
Tne Herald, of this city, gives iu.l vo4ce
TO this feeling in tho following p1r1-
graph in Editor Cartcr's gossip columns:
much has been said by the southern
press of the effort to have the leg - IL
lures of the various south states 10
give pension to Mrs. Davis They speak
as though gift OF this kind would pe
charity. A Mississippi paper has gone
so far as to state this opinion editorial
ly; but certain it is that the people look
upon It as a recognition of her rights.
The fact that Mrs Davis and NJ IS
Winnie continue to live in New
York is a constant surprise TO their
friends. The statement that it would
cost great deal to entertain at Beau
voir. rs in ante-bellum days. is but u
poor reason for continued residence
among people who were her husbands
enemies, for there is Richmond, New
Orleans or Atlanta where she might
live as cheaply and comfortably - ia
New York-among those who fought
and bled for the cause for
which her illustrious husband ruff
fered. True, there are many
southern people in New York. and
there are many northern people
in Atlanta Still, we could hardy
imagine Abraham Lincoln's widow
choosing home here. I would not
write one word to keep alive sectional
divisions for the rising generation, but
it seems to me 1t would make a grand
chapter for the closing of such life as
Mrs. Davis that she died among those
who fought for and loved her husband
among the people that he chung to

Consul General New on the Quarantine
Bill Passed by the senate.


LONDON, Jan. 14.-Consul General
New says in an interview that the speed
with which the quarantine bill passed
the senate is noteworthy as evidence OF
the virtually unanimous feeling among
Americans in regard to the measure.
It shows, moreover, to the world that
the American people are determined tc
prevent the importation of disease ano
to dr6c.' pcs.i,ence from taking root in
American soil.
Fno action OF the senate is especially
noteworthy in view Of the approaching
Worlds fair, and the unanimity with
which the bill was adopted makes il
certain that the house of represen ta-
tives will pass this measure either in
its present form, or if not in that form,
then in some form that will insure the
strictest quarantine, maintained by tho
resources OF national authority.
