DR. ALBRIGHT GIVES OUT A STATEMENT

DR. ALBRIGHT GIVES OUT A STATEMENT.
DIR. Albright, executive officer of the
State Board OF Health, was here last
Thursday and gives the following state
ment for publication:
CT find the situation greatly exagera-
ted and misrepresented. Everything
has been done and is still being done
in the way of isolation, vaccination and
quarantine that is needed to protect the
public against any danger of infection.
The quarantine is under the supervision
of the county board of health ably as
sisted by the municipal board, with DR.,
Matthews as president, and DR.. W. j
Miller, member of the state board OF
health advising. 1 think the quaran-
tine adopted by and in force in the adj
jacent towns and continues against
johnson City is useless and unnecessary
and tends greatly towards injurins
travel and commerce without furnishing
any additional protection to the public
health whatever. I think the DANCE
of contracting small pox at johnson
City has been reduced to minimum
and as quarantine is meant to protec
the public health, it should not be con
tinued unnecessarily thereby interior
ring with travel and commerce.
Very respectfully,

Facts About The Smallpox in Johnson City,
1t is but justice to the citizens Of
johnson City to say that there is not
now, nor has there been at any time,
an epidemic of smallpox in this city.
And that the eleven cases, all colored,
are confined to the four men who came
from Middlesboro, ard their immedi-
ate families. And that these are abso-
lutely isolated, with every known case
of exposure, from all other persons,
and are most carefully quarantined and
effectually guarded. And, in the opin-
ion of the undersigned, there is abso-
lutely no danger to the travelling pub
lie, and no exposure to persons coming
to or going from johnson City. And,
with the profoundest respect for the
public health in general, and the high
est good for all, we request the raising
of the quarantine against johnson City,

NAT GOODWIN'S GREATEST.
He and Miss Elliott Score a Success
in "Nathan Hale"

Chicago. Feb. 1.-Mr. Nat c. Goodwin
presented at Hooleys theater last night
for the first time on any stage, Clyde
Fitch's latest work, Nathan Hale"
Great care had been taken with refer
ence to the scenic environments and
costumes, and the production was a sue
cess beyond all doubts.
Mr.. Goodwin demonstrated that he
is greater in serious work than in COM
edy roles The story, as depicted by
Mr.. Fitch, follows closely the life Of
the revolutionary hero, appealing to
both patriotism and sentiment.
Miss Maxine Elliott shared the hOnOrs
of the evening with Mr. Goodwin. The
enthusiasm of the audience, as the play
progressed, was such that it was freely
declared the new piece is Goodwin
greatest success.
Goodwin and Miss Elliott were called
before the curtain many times Be
tween the acts, Clyde Fitch, the author.
made a brief address. The general
opinion expressed was that Nathan
Hale takes rank as an American
classic with about such a place on the
stage as that occupied in fiction by Ed
ward Everett Hale's famous Man
without a Country.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Union Pacific Fast Train From
Denver to Chicago
Means a Bitter Passenger Rate
War East.
WILL HURT SANTA FE.
It's Only Protection to Slash
Rates to a Finish.
Burlington to Compete With a
Faster Train.
WILL HURT SANTA FE.

Denver, Feb. 1.-The proposed fast
train service of the Union Pacific, which
is announced from Omaha headquarters
as going into effect next Sunday, is
playing havoc with calculations of rail-
way managers.
If the service is carried out according
to official programme, it will upset
plans of managers both in the east and
in the west, and may lead to a paSSen-
ger rate war of far-reaching consequent
ces. Already it is intimated that pressure
is being brought to bear upon the Union
Pacific to declare the tWenty-eiSht hour
schedule off.
Many reasons are advanced for the
opposition to the plans of the new man
agement One is that the rate war
which may follow would deprive roads
of a larger profit which they might
otherwise expect from Alaska travel
Another reason is that fast train ser
vice on the Union Pacific would diSar-
range all trans-continenta1 passenger
time cards, requiring the cancellation
of many long standing traffic agree
ments and throw passenger business of
the west into such a muddle that there
is no knowing where the trouble would
end.
As the Union Pacific and the Burling-
ton have the shortest mileage between
Denver and Chicago, it is pointed out
that the battle royal would inevitably
take place between those two great
CORPORATIONS. The Santa Fe having a
mileage which leaves it out entirely as
a time competitor, would be obliged to
cut the rate. It would be driven to the
alternative of reducing the rate or go
ing out of the passenger business be
tween the two important railway points
of the west. A diffentfaI is something
which the Santa Fe up to the present
time religiOuSly avoided, but many
times it has been pointed out that a
differential is necessity if the Santa Fe
hopes to become an important element
in tie passenger business between the
lakes Cn1nra
the track and the roadbed may be as
perfect as can be made, the public of
today looks to the fastest line, and time
is money to the business man. Off
Gals of the Santa F'e have refrained
from letting their sentiments on the
subject be publicly known, but if ru-
mOrs from Chicago are true, the diff
ferentia1 is becoming one of the warm
questions at Santa Fe headquarters.

A BRIDGE LIKE OURS.
One to Be Built at the City of Wash
ington.

The plan to build a melan concrete
bridge of nine spans in Washington, D.
C., has progressed so far that plans for
such a bridge has been adopted by
the commissioners IN a competition.
The Washington Star prints a cut
of the proposed bridge and gives the
report of the commissioners on the ad-
vantages of a concrete bridge over 9TH
ers.
A part of the report is as follows:
"A metallic structure progressively
deteriorates with age; a masonry one,
especially a concrete one, progressive
ly improves.
Concrete of a high grade is properly
making for itself an increasingly large
field of application as material of con-
struction. 1t is believed that its prepa-
ration and use was never better under
stood than at present, and that the
materials for it's proper preparation
We're never more available. 1t can be
substituted, with proper care, for al
most any other class of masonry with
safety and with agreeable results as to
the appearance of the completed work.
It can be made to simulate, if desired,
the highest class of finished stone work
or it can be prepared as a mOnOlithic
type, which shall possess the simple
dignity of massiveness.
1T is the pronounced characteristic
of the design that it lends itself, far
beyond all the others submitted, to the
adVanta geouS use of this material. This
is accounted for by the relatively small
amounts of masonry proposed in the
other designs, so that a decrease in the
cost of the masonry in the latter struc-
lures would make a relatively small
decrease in the total cost.
1.-The use of the concrete type is ad-
vised primarily as an economical con-
struction, but without intended impli-
cation that it is cheap device or with
any reservation as to its structural suf-
ficiency.
This design contemplates a masonry
viaduct of full centered arches of a to-
tai length between abutments of 1,341
feet.
1.-The arches are nine in number five
of which have spans of $50 feet and four
have spans of 80 feet. The piers be-

investigation shows that so far the dis

only outward sign of retrenchment

ent all of the through freight and the
California limited passenger business
is handled by the Southern PACING from
Deming to Los Angeles.
The expense that follows the handling
of the business by another road, to-
gether with the expense of working on
the tunnel, will make quite a difference
in the net earnings of the road for the
year.
The through California trains 1 and 2
are run over the Santa Fe PACING
tracks to either side of the tunnel and
the passengers transferred in convey
ances, as is also the baggage and ex-
press.
Work is still being carried on at the
tunnel, and it may be that the noun
tain will yet be blasted and deep cut
made out of the now demoralized tun-
mel.
Investigation shows conclusfvely that
the new fire was caused by spontaneous
combustion. The geological forma-
ton of the mountain through Which the
tunnel passes is chiefly limestone OF a
high degree of purity. The lime is
part of a series of strata, lime, lava
other The fire of the past week, to-
gether with the natural moisture of the
soil and the water which has been used
to extinguish the former blaze, has re-
suited in starting the lime in the noun
tain to Stacking
The casing of the tunnel has been put
in place in an air tight ship, which
serves to confine the gases from the
stacking" lime, and finally they broke
out, and, flaming up, set fire to the cas-
ing again.

TO SHOW THE FLAG.
The Mohican Will Make an Eight
Months Cruise in the Pacific.

washington. Feb. 1.-The navy de-
partment is about to arrange the tin
erary for the coming cruise of the Moh-
lean, with her crew of apprentices,
through the island of Oceanica, and par
ticularly to Samoa. The vessel is ex-
pected to start about the last of Feb
ruary and to occupy eight months on
the cruise Probably the first stop will
be made at Honolulu and the next at
Tanning island, half way from Hawaii
to Samoa. The vessel win not stay
long in Samoa waters, but it is expect
ed will return to Mare island by way of
the Society islands. There is said to be
no diplomatic significance in the voy-
age, beyond a desire of the state
department to avail itself OF this Op-
portunity to show the American flag on
a warship in Samoa in partial payment
of the obligation imposed upon the Uni
ted States by treaty to take turns with
Great Britain ard Germany in keeping
a man of war among the islands.
