REGULATIONS THE SAME Quarantine Was Handled by MT.
 Jones as It Is Now. NO CAMPS OF DETENTION Capt. Amerine, Who Handled the Force Then and Is in Charge Now, Gives Some
 Points of History

Thosnas G. Jones was once governor of Alabamn,
 During .he time that MT. Jones bore tfe titqe of governor Alabama had to deal with an epids mic of yellow fever.
 According to Capt. M. H. Amerina, WCho then had charge of the quarantine off, cers and who was sought out as the man to handle the force during the present eptdemic the regulations then and new are pEactlcaITy the same.
 The people have besD1nformed through several volumes of congregated words hIhat MT. Jones objected to Hhe present quarantine regulations
 A sltricc quarantine was established, no refugees allowed to stop within the borders of the state and the only diff erence is ehat time and experience has made the quarantine regulati ions and their enforlce.mens rnore psrfecit.
 'I was in charge of dhe etate quafan- tine force in 1S93," said Captain Amer inc yesterday. Governor Jones wlas governor at the time and Dr. Jerome Cochran was sltalte health officer.
 we were instructed 6lfal; all persons ard baggage from any infected place must not be allowed to enter the sla.e of Alabama, unTesas the persons held a through ticket dor points beyond line suate limits and on a Through train mak- ing a continIous rlun only stopping for fuel and waiter.

The Rig Gold Is There.

Chicago Times-Herald: 1t is not the
mere hiding Of a lot Of gold on or be-
low the surface of the earth in eastern
Alaska that electrified miners through
put the world, but the existence of great
hidden treasures of gold which the dis
covery at Klondyke reveals. Some
where heal this district. no one can tell
how far, there must be mountains con-
tanning large quantities Of gold bearing
ore. The loose gold found in and hear
the several streams centering at Klon-
dyke was detached from the original
body and carried dow there from high
er ground centuries ago by natural
forces. Gold does not grow In rivers. II
Is manufactured in natures alchemy
and no man knows the process. In the
beginning nature hid her gold under the
earth's crust.
Let it not be understood that the find
at Klondyke is unimportant OF itself. A
handful OF men have washed out more
than 81, 900, 600 in pure gold. 1t Is esti-
mated tina the next steamer will bring
down $4,000. coo. Probably 500. 600. 900,
perhaps more. will be taken out before
the placers are exhausted, but the end
will come sooner or later. Not SO with
the ore in the mountains. Basing the
opinion on the worlds experience in
mines presenting precisely the same
geological features as those of Klon-
dyke. quartz mining in eastern Alaska
has a future for half OF the next cen.
fury. This is not n dream. The gold Is
there.

Green aud Purple "a Drug on Market

New York Sun: In these days the
windows of the millinery shops along
Fifth emu are fairly certain to con-
tain announcements that the goods in
side are to be had at greatly reduced
prices, and in some cases a low figure
is named with the statement that any
hat in the shop can he had for that
amount. Even the most casual obser-
yer could not fail to notice o certain
similarity among these window dis
plays of unsold headgear all along the
street. The most noticeable point of
resemblance is the preponderance of
the greens and puppies in every win
dow. There is scarcely a shop which
does not display its unsold greens and
puppies, and the demand for these col
ors must have fallen far short of the
point it was expected to reach. There
were prophecies last winter that pur
pie was to be the dominant tone this
summer, and in the early spring there
were signs hat this prediction might
be realized. But there was a revolu.
ton of taste or the supply was great.
err than the demand. The greens are
seen nearly as frequently as the pur
Piles. The latter come in every shade
from mau to deep purple and they
are awaiting buyers still.

expected tears, agitation, despair, however
she might seek to hide their real source.
Her mode OF receiving his communication
also amazed him. He could not under
stand how IL was hat she fell in so readily
with his suggestion, and was, in truth,
mortified In no small degree, when he
found that the elaborate scheme OF sooth.
ing caresses and ingenious reasoning he
mad prepared, was SO much trouble vast
ed. III she had cared for him, she could
not be so good-humoredly ccmposed--some
singing words would have escaped her
lips. some indication OF the rage and pain
that must be gnawing her heart would
have been visible.
He was absurdly anxious TO see her again
to ascertain IL she still kept up the same
friendly ease which had baficd him.
Meantime he waited In London while his
uncle was engaged In arranging with the
military big-wigs the details OF his new
command. IL would be much better to 20

Mona was unable to approach him. Still,
an odd soreness surrounded her image,
which was so deeply stamped upon his
mind. He was determined TO see her again.
A few days after having called In vain at
Mrs. Newburgh's, Lisle had been break
fasting with General Stafford, and had re.
manned for som time discussing plans.
Walking down Piccadilly to his club, hi
found himself face to face with Sir Robert
