A HuMrL1ArrNa CONFESSION.
Georgia without Laws Concerning
Public Health and Hygiene.


Atlanta, Ga. Aug. Gov. Northen
was forced 20 make a humiliating confes-
sion 20 the federal government and the
French ambassador at Washington TO-
day. He had received letter from Sec
rotary Gresham requesting copies OF the
state laws and regulations concerning
public health and hygiene. Secretary
Gresham wanted this information
for the French ambassador who
had been directed 70
secure 10 by his government. I'm his re
Ply the governor says I'VE have no gen
eral laws upon the subjects mentioned.
Beyond the usual quarantine regulations
affecting localities, the general assembly
has made no legislation looking TO the
protection Of the public health Some
years ago a law was enacted creating a
state board Of health. II was hoped that
this was a step toward complete and eff
fective legislation on this line. But no
appropriation was made to dcfray the
necessary expenses Of the board, and the
law became imperative from want OF
money wherewith TO carry II into
effect. Our nearness TO the southern
countries in which yellow fever and 9th
er contagious diseases are so frequent, and
our situation upon the sea coast with two
ports counting the trade of the world,
would seem to make the enactment Of ef-
fective legislation imperative, but it has
not yet been done. This is a matter for
grave regret and apprehension and 1t IS
hoped that the omission will be rene

that a revision of both lists, Meyers hav-

ALICE WHITES ESCAPE.
The Sensational Stories AllOat Declared
Untrue.

The Girl Not Subjected to Improper
Treatment BY the Guards-She Ad-
mits That She is Not overworked,
and Says Her Food is Not Unwhole-
some-She Processes Penitenoe, and
Says She Means to Reform.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug Gov. Northen
received the special report of the assis-
tant keeper Of the penitontiary, r. F.
Wright, on the recent escapes of women
convicts from the Mattox farm in Ebert
county. The report, which covers all the
escapes, goes into particulars in the Alice
White case. Alice, who is only II years
old, is one of the only two white women
in the Georgia penitentiary. The
story of the crime of kidnap-
ping committed in Savannah where she
was convicted is fresh in the public mind
When she got away from the camp it was
asserted by her relatives that the guards
in whose keeping she was, were response
BILE for her absence from the camp The
girls mother charged that the guards had
taken her away from the camp them
selves and subjected her to improper
treatment.
THE CHARGES REFUTED.
In the report to the governor to-day,
the charges are wholly reputed. Alice
White herself makes statement telling
how she and Annie Wooten planned and
executed their escape on June 30, and
were captured on July s. Alice says she
just got tired of being prisoner, but is
now sorry for her conduct and says she
means to reform
Inspector Wright says that she indig-
nantly denied the story that she had been
badly treated by the guards. She is not
overworked, she confesses, and has been
punished for breach of discipline only
from the time she was recaptured.
HER FOOD ALL RIGHT.
The food she gets to eat is all right but
not as dainty, she says, as she was ac-
custOmed to while resident of Savannah.
The report puts an end to the sensational
stories of Alice White and the guards,
though all the escapes were made possible
by the negligence of one of the night
guards, the negligence of the guard being
responsible more or less for all escapes
from the penitentiary, the report states.

country with a subdued approval The
young couple are, il is said sincerely

hope the statement, in itself probable
enough is actually true, for the English
idea in that respect though no doubt
born of sentiment, has behind II a solid
basis Of reason a prince or princess
must occasionally submit 10 reasons Of

kind of being. He rarely comes in con-
tact with other close relatives who are
usually married away all over the world !;
he can have no male intimate friends

being too incurable-and If he has female
friends, there is sure 10 be scandal. usu-
ally, though not always. justifable. A
behaved, honest, court is the best
security here for the throne. as we have
seen all through Queen Victoria's reign,
and the best guarantee for that-the only
guarantee. indeed. which works-is that
the queen shall be the kings closest

Rome Sayed by the Queen and the Pope.

Emneror Williams passion for uni
forms and his hobby for nocturnal aleries
and the manoeuvring OF troops are well
known.
The great clock Of the Quirinal struck
midnight. Conversation began TO die
away, and the princes and courtiers mace
no effort to conceal their fatigue. The
Emperor alone appeared wide awake and
full of energy. He was dabbling with
cup Of tea Suddenly he turned to King
Humbert. your Majesty does not want
TO retire" said he. with your permits
sion we will now go through a most in
teresting experience. Sound the alarm
and call out the troops!'
Such a thing would be strange and
quite contrary to our custom" replied
the King.
THAT is another reason why 1t should
be DONE" said the Emperor. There is
nothing like II for keeping your Of
ficers and soldiers in shape. Send out
the order for the troops TO proceed Inn
mediately to the manoeuvring ground,

break we will review them in earnest"
you must remember" said the King.
chat Rome is not Berlin. Neither is it
StrasburG or Breslau." But the Empe-
ror insisted. Happily the Quirinal has
good fairy in Marguerite de Savoie. She
appreciated the difficulty Of treating the
Eternal City like a citadel or n town in
revolt But to convince the Emperor was
another affair. However, she was quite
equal to the occasion. "Your Majesty"
said she, "is probably not aware that two
regiments of bersaglieri are quartered
under the walls of the Vatican, with the
Pope himself. An alerie in the night
would create an immense noise, and
arouse the whole Vatican, with the Pope
himself. The august old man might
easily imagine that something terrible
was about to happen, and the conse-
quences might be most serious"
The Emperor had to yield. Through
respect for the Pope and his repose he
renowned his bugle calls and his pro-
posed review.
That is how Leo XIII, without know
ing ii, spared the garrison bad night.
with curses for the Triple Alliance and a
probable panic for the whole population.
The Italian staff officers should burn two
candles, one for the Pope and the other
for Queen neutrality-suspicious. de
