The Quarantine.

On account of the tendency of DOT ton of the public to impose on the authorities in the issuing of free health certificates, the statement was made this morning that it Is probable that in the near future nominal charge would be made in connection with the issuing of the certificates again.
 It appears, from statements made, that many persons apply for certifi- cates who do not leave the city at all and others request a certificate all though going to points where certifi- cate is not required. Dr. Sanders. president of the State Board of Health. is said not to favor the issuing of the free certificate giving as a reason that the quarantine maintenance requires a large outlay of money and it's main- tenance means a protection to the pub lie health.
 A fee for the signature of a notary to a health certificate Is charged in Montgomery and Mobile, so 1t is stated
 The certificate is issued free, but the holder Is notified that 1t is useless with out the signature of the notary. whose signature causes an outlay of about 25 or 50 cents on the part of the pur- chaser. Upon the recommendation of MT. Morgan, the local supervisor of quarantine, it was decided by quaran- tine officials In Montgomery yesterday

 Birmingham, Oct. 4.-(special )-Un- Sa1k inf Hale. who was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Ed. Allmon, a fagman on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad near Oxmoor. the first part of the year. will be hanged in the jail yard here tomorrow morning. Ef- forts have been made to have the sem tence commuted to that of life in the penitentiary. Hale gave State evil dence in the court which caused the conviction of two other negroes who were given life terms in the peniten- tiary. Hale was shot by Allmon when the latter was atecked and for a while 1t was believed that he would die from the wound inflicted. He says that he would be pleased to have his sem tence commuted. but if the law says he must be hanged he will abide by the inevitable, as 1t were. Considerable sympathy is expressed for the negro.
 A. c. s. Stockholders Meet.
 The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company was held here today in the ofice of Superintendent A. Griggs The meeting was as formal as 1t could be-, the stockholders sending proxies to attorneys and local parties. The report of the superintendent shows that the road is in splendid physical condition. The business on the line right now Is being interfered with considerable by the quarantine regu- lations. but otherwise everything Is in fine shape. The roadbed, according to the report. is equal to any railroad in the South. There Is no change in the board of directors growing out of the meeting here today.

THE PLAN FOR THE CANAL.

1t is. out Of place at this time to set
up cry that the difference Of opin-
ion that exists with regard to the plan
that should be pursued in digging the
Panama canal indicates that the ex-
ponents Of one or the other Of the
plans is swayed by motives that are
dishonest. In these days it is so nat
nral to attribute anything one does
not thoroughly understand to graft"
that the habit has become bad one,
one that is bad for the general public.
There is no need for the country to
get excited over the difference In opin-
ion between the engineers of the con-
sulting board and between some Of
them and President Roosevelt. Such
a difference is no more than is to be
expected and 1t is easy to see, when

ESCAPE FROM DEATH

1t is very fortunate-almost miracu-
lous, railroad men say-that the Rock
Island passenger train which struck a
steel rail laid across the track near
Clif1and yesterday was not wrecked.
Had it been derailed several deaths
would no doubt have resulted, and at
any rate there would have been many
passengers and trainmen injured, all
because some person or persons con-
ceived the idea of placing an obstruc-
ton on the rails, whether through
spite, malice or with the idea of rob-
bling the train it is not known. 1t Is
hardly probable, however, that the
motive was robbery, for there are
many trains on the Burlington, only a
few miles from the scene Of the at
tempted wreck, that carry more treas
ure than did the train that was chos-
en- for victim by the would-be wreck
ers yesterday.
The officers and the railroad Off
Gals are at loss to account for the
occurrence. Had the obstruction been
lighter, so that one man or boy
could handle it, the conclusion might
have reasonably been that someone
partially demented had placed 1t on
the track or that some youngster, not
knowing what the danger might be-,
had done it. But indications are that
there were at least two men concern
ed in the plot to wreck the train, and
consequently the men who have tried
to solve the problem are baffled.
Despite the apparent hopelessness Of
their task, however, the authorities
will not give up the quest for the
miscreants and they may yet effect a
capture. For the general good it Is
to be hoped that they may bring the
criminals to justice. There are few
acts more cowardly than wrecking a
train, no matter what the reason may
be. Such criminals, when they are
caught, should be punished to the full
est possible extent of the law and ev-
erything possible should be done to
discourage such a practice.

one looks at the matter closely, that
the questions Of time and money In
huence the advocates of the lock
canal. Such a waterway can be con.
structed for less money and in less
time than the sea level canal. The
difference in money is big, as are all
amounts that can be mentioned in con-
nection with the canal, and the differ.
ence in time would be some three
years.
These are considerations of import
ance, but they are not decisive. The
canal is intended for all time. or as
long as vessels sail on water. There
fore, we want the best which can be
had. On all sides 1t is conceded that
the sea-level type would have many
important advantages. 1t would allow
quicker transit Of ships. The liability
to obstruction from any source would
be far less than in the canal with
lifts. The cost of operation would be
much less. After it got to work the
sea-level canal would, In few years,
pay its extra cost of construction by
the saving in operating expenses and
by the shortening Of the time of pas
sage through 1t. In war 1t would be
far easier to defend lock canal, for
the destruction of any Of the locks
would make the canal useless for the
time. But it would be useless as q
waterway for defenders as well as for
their enemy.
President and commission are anx-
ious to get the canal at work at the
earliest possible moment. This is the
chief reason why they favor a lock sys-
tenn If the sea-level type could be
built as quickly and as cheaply it
would be favored by them as we'll as
by everybody. Nobody would want
the lock type of waterway if 1t costs
as much as the other in money or
time. Time and money, however, are
not the factors which will determine
the peoples choice. They want q
canal which will meet all the demands
of the future in broadening and deep
ening and in facilitating the transit
of vessels. These elements added to
the greater cheapness in operation, are
decisive in favor of the sea-level canal.
If a sea-level canal is to be built, new
legislation must be had, but 1t is safe
to say that congress will readily enact
1t. This is a subject which will get
exhaustive discussion in the press be-
fore the matter has chance to come
up in congress-

THE PURPOSE OF ATHLETICS.

Major R. L. Billiard, regular army
officer, who is the superintendent Of
athletics at one of the largest mill
tary posts, that at Fort Smelling,
Mimi, is engaged in a crusade to sup
press all idea OF sport, of play, in the
athletics employed in the army, and
to replace that idea with business
like purpose to get the utmost attain
able physical training for beneficent
purpose. In the army he wants ath-
letic training rendered no longer a
matter of choice, of diversion, on the
part of the soldier. He wants it all
done by order.
He Is inclined moreover, to think
that the attitude Of the American peo-
/ pie in general towards sports is this
same businesslike view of his own.
Why, he asks, should love Of mere
sport suddenly burst out in the Amer
lean character, requiring whole lit
erature Of its own? Have we all at
once been converted from serious
ways to passion for child's play ?
Not at all, says Major Billiard. It Is
only development of the business
genius of our people. They have
awakened to realization of the ne
cessity of physical training, to make a
sound mind in a sound body, in order
that the race may be in better shape
| to do business. Away with the play
ideal" says the major ;''give us good,
hard, required work in athletics"
Such man in the army would find
few fellow officers who would agree
! with his views on the subject Of ath.
letics. Major Iullard is no doubt
alone in class. If he ends 70 enjoy
ment, no enthusiasm in the old strug.
gle of man against man to win-if he
/ can see nothing in the word, sport, y
he is indeed to be pitied. Men strive
!; to win in athletics Just as they strive
! to win in mental studies and in bust
ness deals. The victory is to the
strongest, or the most agile, or the
most skillful in the use of his
strength, as the case may be. Some
, such feature Il natural In athletics
and 1t lends more than half the zest
!. to the pursuit Of manly trials. II ath'
letics Of this sort should be thrown
! over and the monotony Of drill sub
stituted, the reform" would be moth.
ing more nor less than death blow
to athletics Of any kind in the army
1t would add only another irksome
and Objectionable task to the daily
grind of the soldier which is already
i 50 monotonous that army officers are
| amazed at the vast number Of deser'
(, tiOns.
