MORTALITY WAS LESS.
Good Showing Made by Georgia In
Urinary During 1901.

Not so many patients were received
for treatment at the Georgia Infirmary
during last year as during 1900 and
there were twenty less deaths. These
facts are shown in the annual report
of DR.. ]. Weichselbaum, superintend-
ent, submitted at the annual meeting
of the board of trustees, yesterday in
the office of DR.. T. ]. Charlton. the
medical director.
Very little was done at the meeting,
and the business will be finished at an
adjourned meeting, to be held in the
near future. No officers We're elected
and the two vacancies on the hoard of
trustees were not filed. This will
probably be done at the adjourned
meeting. A committee was appointed
to report on the death of Col. r. d.
Walker.
n special committee was appointed to
thoroughly look into the conditions sur
rounding the hospital, and to learn
just what is needed, and what is the
smallest sum with which the infirmary
can be properly operated. Until this
committee gets these figures on finger
tips nothing will be said to City Coun-
Gil about the decreased appropriation
The committee desires to be in posi-
ton to go into minute details when the
request is made to the city for more
money. AS soon as the committee has
finished its work another meeting will
be called and the leftover business will
be transacted.
The reports of Mr.. NJ. S. Baker, the
secretary and treasurer, and DIR.
Weichselbaum, the superintendent
We're received, and from the figures
submitted, President Gilbert will COM
pile his annual report to the Mayor
The figures furnished by the secre-
tary and treasurer have already been
given in the Morning News.
The report of the superintendent
shows that on Jan. /, 1901, there were
80 patients in the hospital During
the year 524 were received for treat
ment against 636 for the previous year
The death list shows 122. against 142
for 1900, and 407 were discharged. Dur
ing the year there were IA births,
against the same number during the
previous year. Special attention is
called to the fact that Al patients were
taken to the hospital in moribund. The
mortality was 21.82, and less the mort
bund 14.49 per cent making a much
better showing than that of 1900. The
largest number of patients on hand
on one day was 40, and the smallest Is.

ROBBED AT CARDS.
COuntryman Fleeced ont of His
Money by Card sharpers.

Countryman Fleeced Out of His
Money by Card sharpers.
A visitor from one of the rural dis
tricts was flim-flammed by several
card sharpers at an early hour yes
terday morning, and reported his loss
at police headquarters. The identity of
the stranger. or the amount of money
that he lost could not be secured from
the police.
The man is said to have been induced
to get into a game of cards only to
be fleeced OF his bankroll. The matter
was placed In the hands OF the city de-
tectives and one of those said to have
had a hand in the affair was placed
under arrest. He denied having had
anything to do with the robbery, but
admits that he secured the deck of
cards which was used by those who
did turn the trick. All efforts by the
detectives to induce their prisoner to
furnish the names of those who fieeced
the countrymen failed, but two men
are under suspicion and will probably
be arrested to-day.

Superior Court To-day.
Hon. Pope Barrow received a tele-
gram yesterday morning from Gov.
Gambler notifying him of his appoint
ment as judge of the Eastern Circuit
of the Superior Court. Mr.. Barrow
replied. accepting the appointment.
Gov. Gamblers telegram to Mr.. Bar
row was as follows;
Have appointed you judge of the
Eastern Circuit. Please accept and
wire acceptance"
To this Mr.. Barrow made the fol-
lowing reply:
Telegram received. l accept the APP
pointment of judge of the Eastern Cir
cult"
Mr.. Barrow was seen by a represen-
tative of the Morning News, to whom
he showed the kilograms. He was
asked when he expected his commits
sion to arrive, to which he replied that
it would probably reach here this
morning. As soon as he receives his
commission, Mr.. Barrow said. he will
receive his oath and there swear to
discharge the duties of the judgship
to the best of his ability.
When the court convenes on Jan. IA,
to which date a recess was taken sew
eral days ago because of the illness of
the late Judge Falligant, Judge Bar
row will be on the bench He will
assume the duties of the Office imme-
diately upon being sworn in.
There seems to be some doubt as to
the proper authority to qualify the
newly appointed judge of the Superior
Court of this judicial circuit. 1t has
been the custom in the past for the
judges to qualify before the ordinary
put the county commissioners have
lately asserted is claim to perform this
duty on behalf of all county officers.
Judge Thomas NJ. Norwood of the
City Court stated last night that in
his opinion the newly appointed judge
should qualify before the ordinary, but
Judge Norwood did not seem to be alb
solutely certain. There is some APP
parent conflict in the law on the sub

the president win be given authority to
select the route. Few more cowardly
actions have ever been taken by any
great deiiberative body than that Of
the senate yesterday. Hating between
two opinions. afraid TO go before the
people as the sponsors of either, the
Republicans of the upper house Of con-
gress adopted the Spooner amendment
as the only ioophole through which
they could escape the disagreeable di-
lemma before them
It IS more than probable that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be pleased if the
house accedes to the senate's PROPOSE
ton. Roosevelt likes to stand in the
center OF the stage. The glare Of the
HmeIight is agreeable to him, but the
responsibility IN this case should not
have been thrust upon him. 1t is true
that he would have to bear the respon-

come necessary to the growing COM
merce of this country. The sentiment
Of its citizens is practically unanimous
on that point. The only difference Of
opinion is as 10 which route is the bet

Clark Of Montana very aptly remarked
during the senate debate, If half the
objections to both routes were valid
neither should be adopted. but he be-
neved the Nicaraguan route should be
chosen.
Tt is hardly probable that the house
VIII consent to throw the matter into
the hands OF the president. The senate
doesn't believe it win. and the evident
purpose Of the proposed legislation is
to prevent the enactment Of any canal
bill at this session.

RAILWAY MAIL Clerks PAY

DURING THE PROGRESS Of the
- house debate on the general de-
ficiency appropriation bin on Wednes-
day, Congressman Loud of California
incidentally touched on a subject that
should cause a responsive throb in the
heart Of every citizen. Mr.. Loud called
attention to the salaries drawn by
railway mail clerks and suggested that
in common decency these. government
employees should be given better pay.
At present the railway mail clerks re-
ceive an average of s.. 020 per year, and.
considering the risks they are required
to take. they are the poorest paid men
in the employ of the government.
That is to say, in proportion to the
hazard, they are the worst paid men in
the United States. Railway mail clerks
are required to work as long as there
is any work to do Their labor is per-
formed in swaying. swinging, jolting
cars which are whirling over steel
rails at the highest rate of speed it is
possible to drive a locomotive Ten.
twelve, sixteen hours. and frequently
longer, they work under circumstances
which fall to the lot of no other skilled
or unskilled laborer Of like salary
grade.
In every railroad wreck one reads
about, II any one at all is hurt it is a
mail clerk. The engineer and fireman
often see the danger in time to escape.
The mail clerk. penned in his rough
wooden box, has no possible chance.
He must trust bllndly to Providence
and the man at the throttle If he es-
capes he thanks his lucky star and
goes on sorting mail II he is killed.
somebody who is standing by takes his
place. the grave closes over him and
he is forgotten.
If ever a laborer was worthy of his
hire the railway mail clerk is that in
dividual. Mr.. Loud proposes TO make
his salary $500 a year. Public money
could hardly be more wisely expended.

GERMS ON NOM BLANC.

To THE ORDINARY OBSERVER il
would seem that il any spot on the
globe were absolutely free from the
insidious onslaught of the deadly germ
it would be some place where the ice
is eternal and where the snow never
melts. It was in order to ascertain
just what powers Of resistance ice and
snow now offer TO germ life that some
French scientists recently conducted
experiments on the summit of Mont
Blanc. They found germs, in small
numbers, it is true, but germs just the
same.
Or. Blnot. who IS &C the head Of the
Pasteur institute laboratory. was in
charge of the experiments. In the ice
on the summit" says Or. Binot II
isolated a virulent type OF pyocysnic
bacillus. In the crystalline and adj
mirably pure water Of a spring on the
trail from Montanvert I found twelve
colonies Of virulent colon bacilll in
one cubic centimeter"
The scientist explains the presence
Of the bacilli on the theory that they
were blown 20 the top OF Mont Blanc
by the winds from the adjacent wood
cd mountains and valleys. The ice and
the old snow contained a great many
Of them. but in the fresh snow the
quantity was very much smaller. The
air OF the summit Of Mont Blanc was
found to contain very few microbes.
One hundred liters were analysed with
out the discovery Of a single one. and
subsequent experiments were almost
equally Ruthless From tilc summit
down to the valley the number OF
germs increases at practically every
step untn. when the valley is reached
the air and soil are found to be fun
Of them
The experiments of DR.. Binot are
interesting In shat they show that
deadly germs and bacili can live in
any climate or altitude. Intense cold
does rot affect them and intense heat
is the only safeguard. The pyOcyanIc
bacillus. It should be stated. is one
that causes, or produces. blue pus. 1t
gets into wounds. unless the latter are
carefully cleansed, and causes blood
poisoning.
