And Ministers of Atlanta Promptly
Condemned Them.

Atlanta, Oct. 1.-THE State Fair will
open on Wednesday, and there is a big
hustling time now at the fair grounds, the
majority Of the exhibitors having put
things off until the last moment and now
being engaged in a frantic effort to finish
up by the opening
This morning al daylight special train
bearing the Midway attractions rolled into
the grounds. There was everything in the
collection from the human skeleton and
the rubber-necked man to the new woman
and the Streets OF Cairo. The Midway is
TO be a great feature of the show, though
the management predicts the best collec-
ton of exhibits of an agricultural class
that has ever been got together In the
state.
The arrival of the Midway shows this
morning was the occasion for a prelimi-
nary roast by the Minister'S Association.
When the midway train started for Al
lanta, Dr. Dabney president Of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, decided to give it
send-off and so telegraphed 10 Rev. Theron
Rice of this city that the shows of the gay
Mid ought TO be condemned.
DIR. Rice at the meeting of the minis
ters, accordingly introduced a condemna-
tory resolution and the ministers prompt
~ passed it, though, Of course, they have
no idea what the Midway shows are COM
posed Of They thought anything under
the name of Midway shows was worthy

JURISDICTION Is DISPUTED.
Louisiana's Claim for an Injunction
Against Texas.


Washington, oct. 16.-Acung for the at
torney general of the state of Louisiana,
Mr. Edgar D. Farrer to-day entered a
motion in the United States Supreme Court
for leave to file a bill for injunction on
behalf of the state of Louisiana against
the state of Texas, prohibiting the freight
embargo OF the yellow fever quarantine
against New Orleans.
The attorney general of Texas was pres
ent in the court when the motion was
made, and asked until tomorrow 10 ex-
anime the papers in the case. He said he
would object to the motion on the ground
that the court had no jurisdiction.
The further hearing was postponed until
tomorrow, in accordance with this re-
quest
The action is directed against the Texas
law of 1885, and an injunction is asked to
prevent the Governor and the health Of
hcer of Texas from establishing an elnbar-
go against the commerce of the city Of
New Orleans, because of the reports of
the existence Of yellow fever in that city
While recognizing the power of the state
OF texas 10 take proper precautions for
the protection of the people Of the state
against contagon, the attorney general OF
LOUISIANA takes the position in his bill that
the cover of exercising police powers to
burden interstate commerce so as to make
II impossible, which he claims. is the ef-
feet OF the existing quarantine regulations
The assertion is made that no discretion
Is used as TO the articles to be kept orr
and that tie Texas health officer has
shown himself TO be content only with
an absolute embargo to be established
at MS pleasure, and to last as long as he
chooses to maintain it,"
The fact is pointed out that commerce
is permitted between the Texan ports ana
ports of Mexico, Cuba and South America
which are permanently infected with Tow
er and the statement is made that the
effect of the embargo against New Or
leans is to enhance the trade or Galveston
and other Texas cities at the expense of
the mercantile interests Of New Orleans
Hence the declaration is made that Tho
quarantine is nothing less than a com
mercial war" The conclusion is drawn
that the quarantine is in direct viola ion
Of the interstate commerce clause of The
constitution of the United States Relief
is asked in the shape Of an order restrain
ing the state Of Texas from using its quar-
antine regulations as an embargo against
commerce between the two states

Feyer-proof People.

Next to consumption, the disease
which kills most OF the worlds in
habitants Is malaria. In every hot
country in the world, from Italy and
Australia to America, the deadly
swamp-germs poison mems blood and
kill them by hundreds and thousands.
Many different shapes does malaria
take, and, except the low races OF
blacks, who inhablt the steamy
swamps, few are exempt from its dead
iy influence. Yet now 1t Is known that
there are a few white men on whom
these poison germs have no effect
whatsoever. They never suffer from
ague or chills and fever. Some OF these
have gained immunity in the same
way that vaccination saves one from
smallpox. But the curious fact re-
mains that others are from birth abso-
lutely fever-proof. No reason can be
assigned for this; 1t is still one Of the

Look Was Missing.

A drill sergeant was unpopular
among his men. They found him too
particular. One day he had on hand
a party of recruits whom he was
putting through the funeral exercise.
Opening the ranks so as to admit the
passage of the supposed funeral cor
tege among them, the instructor, by
way OF practical explanation, walked
slowly down the lane formed by the
two ranks, saying, as he did so: Nov,
I'm the corpse. Pay attention." Hav-
ing reached the end OF the line he
turned, regarded the men with scru-

Virtue I'm the Apple.

The apple is such a common fruit
that few persons are familiar with its
remarkably efficacious medicinal prop
critics. Everybody ought to know that
the very best thing he can do Is to eat
apples just before going to bed. The
apple Is excellent brain food, because
1t has more phosphoric acid In an cas-
lily digestible shape than any other
fruit known. 1t excites the action Of
the liver. promotes sound and healthy
sleep and thoroughly disinfects the
mouth. 1t also agglutinates the sur
plus acids Of the stomach, helps the
kidney secretion and prevents calculus
growth, while It obviates indigestion
and Is one of the best preventives OF
disease OF the throat. Next to lemon
and orange 1t is also the best antidote
for the thirst and craving Of persons
addicted to the alcoholic and opium
habit.

HIhernation of a Frog.

According to Simon Henry Sage, the
frog does not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks Of trees, but In a dry hole In
the ground not likely to freeze. He
scratches the hole with his hind feet
and enters backward. Once inside,
there is apparently no trace OF the fact
outside, says the London Globe. Frogs
found under frozen leaves are still able
to move about. Mr.. Sage has found
hibernating frogs with their extremi-
ties and skin frozen, but their vital or
gans were still intact, and they recov-
cred their activity on being liberated.
