Pensacola a Fever Center.

On Sunday nineteen new cases of the fever were discovered in Pensa- cola. If a corresponding number had been found in New Orleans about four hundred cases would have been re- ported Instead, there were on that day but nineteen in New Orleans. Nine teen new cases in New Orleans means that the fever mosquito has been killed or screened against, and that the dis ease may be stamped out before the coming of frost Nineteen cases in Pensacola means that the disease Is epidemic, and that the mosquito has not been successfully combated. In Pensacola there are today nearly one hundred cases of fever under treat ment.
 When the history of the present scourge is written it will be seen that 1t was curbed and controlled at every point except Pensacola. It did, it is true, run full course on some Louis jana plantations and perhaps two or three little Louisiana towns, but in no city did it become epidemic or beyond control, Pensacola alone accepted.
 The reasons why Pensacola became exceptional should be brought out, be- cause in that way lesson will appear that will be helpful in the future, The nature of the neglect which handed over Pensacola to the scourge should go with the story of the brave fight that Dr. White and his co-workers have conducted in New Orleans. It Is admitted even now in Pensacola that the campaign against the mosquito has not been conducted as 1t should have been. Ignorance blocked the way, and the entire truth should be brought out and widely published.

Wood Pavinq in New York.

The silent pavement has long been familiar to people in European cities, and it Is now gaining foothold in this country. It is not the poorly-laid and wholly inadequate pavement that was laid in many American towns gen. eration ago. It is a pavement laid in accordance with engineering skill and knowledge, and it seems to meet every wish of those who use or live in city streets, for it Is as substantial as 1t is noiseless, as easy upon horses as 1t is devoid of slippery surfaces. It seems to be almost without faults.
 The city of New York recently let ten contracts embracing nearly one hundred thousand square yards of wood pavement. It is to be laid in Lower Broadway, West Broadway, Ce- dar street, Dey street, Battery Place, Greenwich street Old Slip, Park Place and Worth street. These streets are we'll known to business men, for they are all in the downtown district, and what will serve public purposes in that district would certainly be useful and acceptable in towns of lesser traffic.

 Paris.-M Claude Anet, the well-knowh French traveller. gives in the Temps an amusing description of the interior or th' Shah of Persia's palace at Teheran. He says:
 "One is sorely disappointed to find that in the Persian monarch's home nothing of the exquisite old Persian art IS 10 De seen. The palace is furnished in the worst European style. The furniture Is uphol- stered in the cheapest kind of garish plush. In every room. even in the shah's bedroom, there are musical instruments without number, from automatic plano players to barrel organs and concertinas. I looked for the bed and found 1t not. The ruler of Persia prefers to sleep on cushions thrown about the floor. In his favorite corner there is little table bearing his own photograph, fianked by the portraits of the King and Queen of

inefficiency of state and local quaran tines, each bending to this or that branch of trade, and none efficient, IS established. Such quarantines belong to the unscientifc past, and something better is needed in the future, and Congress can furnish that.
 But federal control of international and interstate quarantine does not and should not relieve local boards of health from rendering all the assist ance they can in combating the fever mosquito. General sanitation is as needful as it ever has been. Sewerage and general drainage are by no means shelved by the mosquito theory, sim ply because the individual should be kept in the highest possible degree of vigor. In that way he is kept In a position to render harmless many an attack of the fever or malaria mos quito that would be deadly were he in an enfeebled condition. Local and state boards of health will still be needful. They should cooperate with the ma rine hospital service. The two should work cordially together. There is no reason why they should not. Congress can pass an act that will not trespass upon the proper rights of the states, while it retains to the federal govern ment powers that protect interstate and international commerce, neither of which the states are competent to transact or handle. A state has no more jurisdiction over affairs relating to interstate commerce than the gen. eral government has over business go- ing on between two interior counties. Congress" says the constitution, shall have power to regulate con- merce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian trlDes. The preservation of such com merce from wasting disease Is neces- sarlly incidental, and Congress should do its duty.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
 There is hardly any way to learn swear ing like having the rheumatism.
 Because man is engaged is not sign he has no sense in every other way.
 It is almost impossible for a man to have so much money that his family can't spend it for him.
 Either a woman Is likely to scratch you when she is smiling at you or smile at youNwhen she is scratching you.
 The trouble with putting anybody in your family on an allowance is you have to give her twice as much to let you off from increasing 1t. A woman wouldn't enjoy being homesick bit if she couldn't cry over 1t. You can always tell if a woman Is jealous by the mad way she pretends not to be mad. The smartest thing women ever decided to do was not to understand money mat ters.
 More people get their names in print for going to states prison than for going to heaven. A man always thinks he has sense of humor because he can make fun of the way his wife adds up a column of figures wronG. M s

Half Holiday Proposition.

Acting Mayor Cooper speaking as a business man, struck a popular chord when he proposed half holiday on the occasion of the Presidents visit to this city. The Age-Herald hopes MT. Cooper's proposition will be sec onded by every other business man and manufacturer in this city. It is a generous proposition and very time ly one It is eminently appropriate, for it enables young employees to see the man who marched up Santiago Hill, and yet the man who brought the Rus. sians and Japanese to peace terms.
 In turning out to honor a President we not only honor the high office he holds--the highest in the world-but we honor man whose courage has never failed him. He brushes aside as unworthy of consideration the perils likewise all through the years of his active life. He does not represent the south in his political views, but he does represent every true southern man in his devotion to principle re- gardless of personal consequences. It is this devotion to truth as he sees it that is fast separating him from the upholders of Privilege in his party. He does not stand pat when that mon ster rears its baleful head.

 Now there is no money in his job. He Is ridiculously underpaid. Double his whole present salary would be no more than q moderate allowance for the mere social and decorative expenses expected of the ruler of the first nation of the world.

About the Weather,

Birmingham people have had no cause to KICK on the weather for several weeks" said an old citizen last night. We have had about as good weather as one could desire at thise time of the year and now that we are having a little rain we should grin and bear it.
 T think that we will have some co,d weather after this rain and that it will be cold enough to kill out the mosquitoes. 1T that is true then we can -aisa the quarantine against Louisiana and parts of Mississippi and Florid :, and business can resume its normal pror ,rtions.
 Had we not had the yellow fever this summer this would have been the greatest fall in the history of the south. Even with the fever business coalitions are better than I have known them in many years and I do not hear a word of com plant from any one. Even the chronic kickers who have kicked and klcxel for these many years are now smiling and rubbing their hands with pleasure.
 q think that frost will fall carry and as soon as 1t comes there will be an im- petus to business that will be wonI, ,i full |"

Our Quarantine Problem,

"If," says the conservative New York Times, Congress shall transfer the control of the whole ques- tion of quarantine, external and internal, to one of the federal departments with supreme powers for the protection of interstate com merce and the rights of citizens, those who denounce such action as an inva- sion of the rights and powers of the states may remember that 1t was not taken until it became necessary, by reason of the fact that state and local powers were abused"
 The nearly-won victory at New Or leans, where the marine hospital serv- ice is in full control, and the unhappy condition of Pensacola, where state and local boards of health reign SUI preme, Illustrate the difference be. tween a consistent and persistent fed eral supervision and system that confessedly cannot conduct campaign against the mosquito. The marine hos pital service has already demonstrated in it's work at New Orleans its power to cope with the fever mosquito. It is plain to all that if Dr. White had been in charge of health matters in New Orleans in May there would have been Do fever in this country this year. The

Money in the Treasury.

The actual cash in the state treasury on October 1, the first day of the pres ent fiscal year, was $1,311 ,26704, as against s1,191, ,624.13 one year previous.
 Against the balance of $1,300,000 there is not real claim save that of the old soldiers. This claim will re- duce the balance somewhat below a million dollars. It is not fair to say that the school teachers must be paid out of the million dollars remaining in the treasury. It is not even true. The money due the teachers in the public schools will be earned between the present time and next May. and in that time money will be pouring into the state treasury from sixty-seven coun- ties. The dollar in the treasury is not distinguishable dollar. It becomes a unit of the accommodating mass in the treasury, and the teacher is as apt to receive a dollar newly arrived as a dollar that has been in the treasury a year. In other words, plenty of money will flow into the treasury to meet the current expenses of the state, leaving just about a million of dollars as sur. plus. If the surplus is trifle below a million dollars now, it will be above a million dollars at the end of the pres ent fiscal year.
 Is it good business sense to let a million dollars lie idle in the treasury?
