Do Not Fear Spread.

Washington, September 2.-Atlanta is not regarded as infectible territory for yellow fever by the public health and marine hospital service, and no spread of the disease there is anticipated. This view is based on the experience of the past Cases of yellow fever have sew eral times appeared in Atlanta, but have never produced a new case.
 Surgeon General Wyman said tonight he had received a report of the case de- veloped here by Surgeon Weitberger of the marine hospital service. The infected person had been removed several miles out of town and screened. Dr. Wyman said. however, that the yellow fever mos quito does neeebreed in Atlanta. and for that reason no spread of the disease need be feared

pr. Sanders Decides That Alabama Will Not Quarantine Against the Georgia City-Several
 Cities Raise Bars.

Atlanta September 2.-John c. Car ruthers, a carpenter, who arrived here from Pensacola Thursday evening, has a pronounced case of yellow fever. He has been isolated in the detention hospital three miles from the city and every pre- caution has been taken by screening and fumigation.
 Carruthers. who says he lived within one block of the first cases announced at Pensacola, left that city as soon as he learned of the nature of the disease there. He had several degrees of fever when he reached Atlanta, and his case was report ed immediately by the train inspector to the city health office. Carruthers 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 officer, said today that Carruthers is very III, but did not think his condition is alarming There is no excitement here as the ex- perience of past years, when refugees have come from other cities where yellow fever has existed has been that the dis ease cannot spread here.
 Mayor Woodward, on learning of the ex- istence of this case, at once gave orders that the public shall be kept fully in- formed of the development of the case
 Health Certificates Stopped.
 On the announcement that yellow fever existed here, Dr. c. P. Wertenbaker of the marine hospital service, today stopped issuing health certificates to travel. This undoubtedly will work great inconven- fence, as a considerable number of people have come here to secure certificates from the federal office.
 The Georgia state board of health met this afternoon and decided to advise the health officials of the larger cities and towns of the state to quarantine against infected points.

Cards a Waste Of Time.

"At best the handling of cards is but
waste of time" says wise exchange,
which observation causes editor Tom
Harter of the BellefoBte Gazette to deliv-
er himself of the following short sermon:
Fright you are brother but so is any
other amusement; and yet, all work and
no play makes Jack dull boy. What
has often amused US was TO see people
play 'geiRle,' 'fiinch. pitt or lot of
other like games who would shudder at
game of euchre. And yet either of
these games invite more cheating, pro-
duce more excitement and more frequent
ly lead to qusrrels than does euchre.
But they say, a euchre deck invites
the spirit of gambling. So does 4 re-
volver invite suicide, or a match fire.
Yet both are useful If not abused.
"What is the difference between play
ing checkers, chess, doninoes, etc., and
csrds7 Nothing so far as waste of time
is concerned. All are amusements and
unless carried to extremes, are decided
benefit to the tired mind and weary eyes.
But when such amusements are driven
to extremes, when time is devoted to
them which ought to be put in at work
then they become injurious. Some peo-
pie would play croquet whole day who
woHld abhor game of pool or billiards.
Yet the latter games are more scientific
and require incalculsble skill to play
them right, while the best croquet player
we have ever known had No. 6 head
and No. IL feet.
"Csrd-plsying is not injurious when
not conYerted into gambling, but the
young man who pursues the game to the
neglect of nobler duties, will find that
the expert manipulation of deck OF
cards will never strengthen his recon-
mendstion to sought.for position, nor

Wanted to Join the Navy.

Some time ago when Mrs. Roupe, wife
OF Rev. W. B. Roupe, of Oil City. was
employed in the Navy Department at
Washington, letter came from boy
who wanted to join the navy. 1t was 80
characteristic of "young America" that
Mrs. Roupe wrote up the little stoly for
Washington paper, which published 1t
as follows:
Every peculiar ideas exist in the minds
of some regarding the United States navy.
People are often inclined to look upon it
as reformatory school, and If q mother
has a son who is rather hard to manage,
and has begun to SOW his wild oats. she
apprentices him.to Uncle Sam, thinking
he will turn out all riLht. Others who
are lonesome and without homes join the
navy, knowing that there they will have
plenty of company and be we'll provided

all his sailor nephews.
There are others with a naturally row.
ing disposition. who think that If they
can get on the blue sea under the Stars
and Stripes all their desires will he graft
fed and their lifelong hopes realized. A
good illustration of this is contained in a
letter from a boy in Michigan who says
he wants to join the navy very much. He
is somewhat deficient in spelling, but has
probably made special study of geogra-
ply, for he knows just where he wants
to go and what he should find in the
countries he visited. Whether he ex-
pected the ship to be under his control is
not known. but at all events, he was look
ing forward to long cruise that should
enable him to girdle the globe, for he

be great disappointment to him when
he learns that two good eyes are abso-

STARTLING HnI Trne.

People the world over were hoirified
on learning of the burning of the Chicago
theatre in which nearly six hundred peo-
pie lost their lives, yet more than five
times this number or over 5000 people
died from pneumonia in Chicago during
the same year, with scarcely passing
notice. Every one of these cases of pneu-
monia resulted from cold and could
have been prevented by the timely use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A great

monia have warded It off by the prompt
use of this remedy. The following is an
instance of this sort: "Too much cannot
