ON THE WAY TO eRANDMA's

BY Llebohen Y. .Harrls-class A-Thir-
teen Years
"Good-by Charley, DEAR" said mamma
and papa to their little boy, "be good
boy, won't you darling? You won't
give grandma much trouble will your"
And mamma kissed her little boy again
and again.
Charles pride was little hurt, all
though he was used to being petted,
but there was that big driver in the
stage looking at him, and smiling TO
himself. Was he laughing at him? was
what little Charley wondered. Anyway
Charley thought, after he had got into
stage he could tell the man all about IT..
"Dood bye mother and father an
Jippi" he said but he did not kiss them.
Charley was going to the farm of his
grandma. She lived two or three miles
out Of the city, and her daughter
! (Charley's mother) had written her
that Charley's birthday was soon and
she was sending him out there to spend
month or so.
"Good-by," once more, and then with
dozen "sit STILL" don't fall' don't
get off the wrong place." "be careful"
"be good boy" the stage was gone, to
Charley's delight, for little tear slid
down his cheek, but quick as a flash he
wiped it away before the driver turned
around.
eyer amt cryin' be yer?" inquired
the driver.
"Oh, no." said Charley.
whats your name, eh?" asked the
driver.
Charles Alexander HARRISON was
the response.
That's too long, I'll call you Charley,
should L? and you call me Bill"
"All right said Charley.
"How old be yer?" said Bill.
"Fourty, today" answered Charley,
for he took four for forty.
"Ha, ha. no, no, ha," and Bill fairly
shook with laughter.
Charley was mortified.
When Bill had stopped his laughing
Charley asked: How old are you?"
"Forty-two.'
"Oh!" and Charley thought, "how
funny, we are both forty"
The stage rolled away and Charley
watched for "grandmas house." as he
called it.
Its a good ways off YETI said the
driver as he saw his small charge look
ing anxious.
over bitches and fields they went,
passing haystacks, old sheds, farmers,
corn, horses and everything" as
Charley said.
One mile was gone and half of the
next, when Charley saw a huge hay
stack in front of them, II just know
that's my grandpa's wagon" he de-
clared.
The stage ran up alongside of 1t, and
a farmer, wearing old fashioned cloth
ing, hailed the stage. saying: rs my
grandson Charley on that er STAGE"
"Yes, sa," answered Bill.
The farmer got down and lifted
Charley out of the stage.
"Good-by, BILL said Charley.
On the way to grandma's, Charles
Alexander Harrison said: Grandpa,
Bill said to me he was fourty years
old, an he's a great big man and I'm
only a little-I mean a-a pretty big
boy"
But grandpa laughing, explained the
difference between four and "fourty."

A soRRowFuL STORY

A bachelor of forty grew tired of single life:
He looked around a little and then annexed a
wife.
She was a type that's common, was very nice
and prim,
And filed with an ambition to have things
neat for him.
And so. soon after marriage. he found his
things arranged;
From which it's very certain his mode Of life
was changed.
His clothes were put in order; he found his
slippers too
With greatest ease at evening when the repast
through
Upon his varied garments the buttons soon
appeared,
And with frequent dustings his divers hats
were cheered.
Oh IL l were to tell the whole, 'twould take
age,
And make these simple verses jut o'er the
seventh page!
But did the man enjoy it? All. no! I grieve to
say.
He peaked and pined most plainly. was very
far from gay.
The strange, unheard-of neatness so wrought
upon his mind
He died at six one evening and left 1t all
behind.
But ere he died he murmured to parties stand
ing near,
"I want this short inscription, and want It
chiseIled clear:
He had a wife whose goodness twas very
hard to match,
And yet she killed her husband with neatness
and dispatch!"

GREAT TROLLEY LINE.
Electric Roads May Connect New York
 ~ and Chicago.
 rsktaa~o aant 9-Tba R Rerord. Herald

2 . 1H H ra 2. Electric Roads May COnnect New York
 aud Chicago.
 Chicago, Sept. 2.--The Record Herald today says:
 Continuous trolley rides from Chicago to New York, over two routes, and be- tween Chicago and Cincinnati are among the transportation probabilities of the near future. William s. Reed, a builder of railroads. who has an ofhce in the First National Bank, has organ ized a syndicate which has purchased the Chicago Electric Traction Company and has organized two other companies which will complete the gaps which now bar a continuous ride on electric roads between the cities named.
 Mir. Reed claims that these transpor- tation features will be made possible by next June and tho traveller may go from Chicago to New York by way of Buffalo. and then through New York State, or may branch off at Cleveland and take a long distance airing through Pennsylyania and so on to the metropo- lis.
 The Chicago Electric Traction Com- many. which is now in the hands of a receiver in Judge Kohlsaat's court, Is to be taken out of litigation and will then he absorbed by the Chicago and South@ ern Traction Company, a new Indiana corporation, which Is capitalized for $2. .0o0, ,o00. This will be increased to $4.oO0,0oo. The latter company is to construct a line from Harvey to Kan kakee, a distance of thirty-six miles.
 Other lines then will take up the con nection, completing the route between Chicago and New York.

PUBLIC PRINTING ROW.
Palmer Requests the ResiEnntion of
 Two Employees.

TWO Dmpk0yG8s
 Washington. Sept. 2.--Public Printer Palmer has requested the resign nations of Oscar J. Ricketts. foreman of print ing. and L. c. Hay. foreman of the job division of the Government Printing once, basing his action upon their aI- legged continued acts of insubordination. Both officials have refused to comply with the request on the ground that they are not required to do SO until furnished with specific instances of in- subordination and given sufficient op- portunity for reply. as required by the civil service regulations.
 MT. Ricketts tonight issued a brief statement of the case, at the same time speaking in behalf of Mir. Hay. His statement says:
 That. acting under advice, he does not feel at liberty at the present time to give to the public the correspondence in connection with this matter. and can only say that Mir. Palmer has requested the resignation of these two officials be- cause of their alleged continued acts of insubordination," without specifying any act on the pant of either of them which would in any way constitute in- subordination. -r
 They insist that the public printer has not complied with the civil service regulations. which provide that specific allegations or causes should be made when any officer Is asked to resign or when it is proposed to relieve said of- ficer from his position. They say that they have at all times in the course of their long service in the Government Printing once been loyal to their chief and to the best interests of the United States 4--
 They know of no reason why this re- quest should be made at this tinne,- un- less 1t arises from the fact that they were called as witnesses and testified in the matter of tho investigation in the purchase of certain typesetting ma chimes and in that respect they gave evidence fairly and honestly, as they were obliged to do under their oaths.
 They have declined to comply with the request for their resignatiops, and have submitted the matter to the civil commission and to the President of the United States. and believe that a. full and complete inveetig alton of the sltua- tIon will result In their being excn- erated rom any changes made against the mby the public printer.

 Resides these 1000 Presbyterian preachers, thousands in other denomi- nations have taken up the question, so that more labor sermons will be heard on Sunday than on any other day in the history of the church. Over 1000 requests for special literature to be dis- tributed after the sermons have come to Superintendent Charles Stelsle, so that millions of pages of printed mat ter will be issued, presenting appeals to both the church and labor as to their respective duties in relation to this problem.
 In the fifty cities in which the plan of the exchange of fraternal delegates between the Ministers Association and the central labor unions is in operation. special services have been arranged.

NO BAN ON ATLANTA.
Alabama VIII Not Quarantine Against
 Georgia City.

State Health Officer W. H. Sanders last night announced that he would not enforce a quarantine of the State of Alabama against Atlanta for the pres ent As for the contingency of a spread in Atlanta of the fever pr. San ders said that would be different, but that the information he had concerning the one case of fever there was very assuring.
 As soon as Dr. Sanders yesterday af- ternoon received a telegram officially notifying him of the refugee case of fever in the Gate City imported from Pensacola he telegraphed Secretary Harris of the Atlanta Health Board. for a history of the case. Last night early a reply was received which makes Dr. Sanders believe the case all around to be a parallel of the Minhinnett case In Montgomery.
 Secretary Harris's telegram to Dr. Sanders said that the patient was a refugee from Pensacola. arriving in Atlanta Thursday afternoon. Thursday night was spent in an Atlanta hotel morning. For the sake of precaution he was immediately removed to an iso- lation hospital beyond the city limits The room in the hotel occupied by the patient was thoroughly fumigated a few minutes after he was taken out The names or all the hotel guests were taken down by the health authorities and they are being hunted down for scrutiny and isolation until the danger point has been passed for infection.
 These were practically the circum- stances of the Minhinnett case which was. however, imported from Louisiana. There was no spread in this city and Dr. Sanders ventured the opinion last night that there is little danger of a spread in Atlanta. Dr. Sanders. on learning the history of the Minhinnett case and the promptness of action by the local health authorities looking to destroying the stegomyia that might be infected, recommended that no city in Alabama or elsewhere put on a ouar- antine against Montgomery
 It would have been inconsistent. per- haps. for the Alabama Board to ouar- antine Atlanta in view of the recom mendations in the Montgomery case Hence for the present there is no bar to passengers from Atlanta desiring to come to Alabama.

Five Fatal Cases.

DeichseI, Silesia, Sept 2.-The exist ence of cholera in two different districts of Galicia Is confirmed by medical in- VestiRation. The first five fatal cases occurred in the village of Padewnarodo- wa. in the district of Miedec Tannow and a sixth case in the village of Grod- zisko. In the district of Lancutt.
 The local authorities fear spread Of the epidemic, as boatmen in floats are coming uninterruptedly down the Wis tula River from the infected districts. The first steps taken by the local au- thorIties against the epidemic were evil dently insufficient, as after the burn ing of the belongings of the nrst Vic- tims at Padew another case developed there but now the central and local authorities are taking up the work en- erRetically.

The infected person had been removed several miles out of town and screened. Dr. Wyman said how ever that the yellow fever mosouito does not breed in Atlanta and for that be feared.

 A te deum was sung yesterday at the synagogue in St. Petersburg for the granting of political rights to the Jews. but there was no public attend ance whatever. Te deums were also sung in one or two other cities. but with greater enthusiasm. The Jews exchanged congratulations among themselves on the granting of politi- cal rights. but in Wilma. Odessa, Gomei and other places where spontaneous expressions of satisfaction might be particularly looked for. the strong anti Jewish sentiments prevailing served to prevent them, 1t being feared the dem onstrations would be attended by dis orders.

ATLANTA HAS FEVER
ONE CASE OF YELLOW JACK IN THE
 GEORGIA CITY.
Patient is Carpenter Who Arrived from Pensacola Thursdny--No Alarm Is Felt by the Aa-
 th0rfties.


 Atlanta. Ga. Sept. 2.-John c. Ca ruthers. a carpenter. who arrived from Pensacola. Fla. Thursday evening. has a pronounced case of yellow fever. He has been isolated in the detention hos pital three miles from the city and ev- cry precaution has been taken by screening and funigation.
 Caruthers. who says he lived within one block of the first cases announced in Pensacola, left that city as soon as he learned of the nature of the diseasc there. He had several degrees. of fever when he reached Atlanta and his case was reported immediately by the train inspector to the city health officers. Ca ruthers was closely watched through Friday and was sent to the hospital where the case was diagnosed as yellow fever today.
 Dr. J. P. Kennedy, City Health ofi cer, said today that Caruthers is very i'll, but did not think his condition Is alarming. There is no excitement here, as the experience of past years, when refugees have come from other cities where yellow fever existed. has been that the disease cannot spread here.
 Mayor Woodward. on learning of the existence of this case, at once gave or- ders that the public shall be kept fully informed of the development of the case.
 On account of the announcement that yellow fever existed here. Dr. c. P. Wertenbaker. of the Marine Hospital Service, today stopped issuing health certificates tS travellers. This- pndoubt- edIy will work great inconvenience. as d considerable number of people have como here to secure certificates from the Federal office.
 The Georgia State Board of Health met this afternoon and decided to ad- wise the health officials of the larger cities and towns of the State to guar antine against infected points.
