MATTRESSES ON ASSISTANTS
 VIRTUE OF PATIENCE.

geons who are to do work in the foregin neighborhoods the great virtue of pa- tience. Many of the Italians and other residents are unfamiliar with the methods of the health authorities, and Dr. White Is seeking to treat them with the least possible harshness In order that they may have confidence In what is being done to control the fever.
 A force of 100 men were engaged today In the work of disnfection in the lower section of the city The district runs from St. Ann to Esplanade. and from Rampant to the river. Every room In every house in these limits has been treated to one course of disinfecton and the whole ground Is to be covered again and again until the mosquitoes complete 1y disappear These men are divided into squads and enormous quantities of sul- phur have already been burned by them In their work.
 There were eight-three patients at the emergency hospital today. Earlier in the campaign when the number of cases treated there were considerably fewer the death rate was high. but it has now been considerably lessened. and daily patients are being discharged as cured.
 Some of the latter because of their treatment have since their discharge brought other patients to the hospital. Not all the patients who have been ad- mitted to the hospital have developed yellow fever. From visual examination 1t is not always possible to tell the diff ference between yellow fever and ma larla. and some of those who have been treated have developed the milder dis ease, Outside of the hospital there have also been cases which. reported first as yellow fever have subsequently, been d. aPuOsed aS malarfa.

WAIVED TO GET OFF

Over 200 refugees passed through Bir- mingham yesterday on the various trains. Some of them were from New Orleans and Louisiana and some of them were merely passing through from Montgomery to points north
 The local quarantine office now employs about twenty-five inspectors and every train in or out of Birmingham is care fully inspected The last of the trains to have an inspector was the Southern be- tween Birmingham and Selma. Chief h. speetor Morgan yesterday placed inspec- tors on all the trains between the two cities as matter of precaution. He also has inspectors on the Central of Geor-

Trouble sifted.

iiObbiC OIItSu.
 MT. Morgan returned yesterday from Anniston, where he had been in conference with MT. Thrasher, the inspector in charge of that city. There had been some mis- understanding about which inspectors were to have charge of the trains between Birmingham and Anniston and about which city would be responsible for hav- Ing inspectors on the train. The matter was adjusted and the service on the Southern will continue uninterrupted.
 MT. Morgan yesterday asked Dr. San ders, president of the state board of health, to allow J. A. Oliver to remain in Birmingham until Monday MT. Oliver is one of the chief inspectors VITO travels from place to place in the state assisting in organizing. The request was granted.
 The only trouble yesterday was on the Queen and Crescent train last night at 10:2O o'clock. Robert Palestine, who has the contract for one of the school build ings being erected, insisted that we would get off the train in Birmingham. although he had only been out of New Orleans six days.
 Mr. Palestine told Inspector r. E. Wood that he would get off at Birmingham He said that Capt Frank S. White was his attorney and that he would cause trouble when he did get back. Mir. Wood tele- btdphtu 0nlel Inspector MOfRen about the situation and Mir. Morgan placed Mir Palestine under arrest when he reached Birmingham and sent him out of the state under guard.
 Amusing Incident.
 One of the amusing incidents of the quarantine yesterday was on the Louis- vile and Nashville at noon. c. J. Shee- han and his wife. who were only mar ried Thursday night in New Orleans, were given an entire Hcach to themselves The young couple vera put into quaran- tine coach when the state zine was reached. and they were carried through 10 the Tennessee line in the same coach all to themselves.
 At the station MT. Sheehan stated that they had been married the night before and were going to Cincinnati. He took the enforced separation of himself and wife from everyone else cooly, and said he guessed it was the best that they could do
 The county quarantine is still being en- forced. Inspector Voc has inspectors on every train out of Montgomery, or which makes connection with Montgomery. and he has instructed the men to keep a sharp lookout and not allow anyone to leave the trains in Birmingham if they have come from Montgomery.

SALARIES ARE roo LOW.
CompInipf of Hitchcock Rs to Fay of
 Postal Clerks.

Postal ClerkS.
 Washington, Dec. 27-In his annual report, made public today, First As sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock says that the low salaries paid clerks in first and second-class postoffices is decreasing the standard of efficiency. It is impossible, he says. to induce efn- cient men to enter this branch of the service when the salary to begin with is but $500 per year, with no certainty of promotion for perhaps several years. Mr. Hitchcock strongly recommends discontinuance of the practice of in
 staIling postoffice in public buildings
 devoted in part to the other branches of the Government service. The best type of quarters for postofice purposes. he says, is single large room In a one story building
 The system of renting boxes in post offices Is being completely revised and a new schedule of uniform rents Is to replace the present intricate methods.
 There has been an increase of more than &1S.0O0,000 in the amount of do- nestle and of more than $5,000,000 in the amount of foreign money orders is- sued during the year over the one pre- ceding.
 A aew money order blank Is to be in- troduced in the service before the close of the fiscal year, which Is calculated to prevent fraud in raising the amount of the original orders.
 While the number of undelivered let ters which found their way to the dead letter office during the year was smaller than during the previous year, the number of undelivered letters with valuable enclosures greatly increased. General prosperity of the country Is given as one reason; another is the sup pression by the department of concerns using the mails for fraudulent pur- poses. Nearly 11,000.000 pieces of mail were received at the dead letter office during the year.

This Type VIII Be Recommended by
 Engineer Stevens.
 Washington, Dec. 27.-Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer J. r. Stew ems of the Isthmlan Canal Commission have arrived In Washington. +.:
 MT. Stevens has come to Washington to give his views to the commission on the type of canal that should be con structed. His advice to the commis- sion will be based upon his study of the great engineering problem. as he has been on the ground for several months.
 MT Stevens. 1t may be definitely stat ted, Is in favor of a lock canal and at a moderately high level. He will recommend to the commission the con- struction of a lock canal for a number of reasons which he Is prepared to pre- sent, hut principally because, in his opinion, the cost and length of time which will be required for building such a canal can be estimated with n great degree of definiteness. while the cost and time required for constructing a sea level canal presents a problem so indefinite that in his opinion it's consideration is not advisable.
