 He is directly from Egmont Keys, place out at the entrance of Tampa bay, oppo- site Mullett's Point, where a quarantine station was established at the beginning of the Spanish war. The object of it was to keep people from Havana and other points in Cuba from entering the United States until the quarantine regulations had been compiled with, and the surgeon-general says that 1t enjoyed a large patronage ali summer. He made the trip down there to see about getting it in shape for next sea- son, for he intends making a permanent camp out of it. Dr. Corpitt was temporarily in charge of the station this summer.
 Petition to Re .nint Reports
 Practically all of the members of the Mobile bar have signed petition to the governor, requesting that he recommend to the general assembly the advisability of having the reports Of the supreme court reprinted The petitioners recite that many of the reports out of print, and the earliest volumes have gotten into the hands of booksellers and are held at ex- orbitant prices. set of reports is now worth SS0J, whereas third of that amount would be reasonable price. It is a well recognized fact that a set of reports is a necessity to the library of every practicng lawyer The petition suggests that the re- printing Of the reports is public neceS- sity, and that sales of the new edition by the state would largely if not entirely pay the cost of the undertaking within year or two. The bar of the state will undoubt- edly unite with the Mobile attorneys in the campaign for the reprinted reports.
 The following wel-known attorneys have signed the petition from Mobile:
 R. H. Clarke, Richard w. Stoutz, Hannis Taylor, Joseph c. Rich, I. Irwin Burgett, | Ralston Burgett. William B. Inge, N E. stallworth, George J. Sullivan, c. L. Hybart, William P. Mollett, John E.
