SECRETARY HAY IMPROVES
Condition of DistinEuished Patient
Continues Favorable After
Comfortable Day.

NEwBURY, n. H., June 27.-The condi-
ton of Secretary of State John Hay con-
tinued favorable tonight, after a comforta-
BILE day. DR. Frederick L. Murphy of Bos-
ton, returned this afternoon and remained
at the secretary's home tonight. DR..
Scudder of Boston went to Boston today
but will return here tomorrow. The ply
scians decline to discuss the case, but DR..
Scudder said just before his departure that
the secretary had passed pleasant and
comfortable day.
The cold, wet weather, has proved a
slight drawback. but Notwithstanding the
dampness, Mr.. Hays condition has i'm
proved noticeably since Sunday night.
Mrs. Hay felt greatly encouraged today
and sent telegram to Payne Whitney, her
son-in-law, advising him and Mrs Whit
ney to sail for Europe as they intended
The arrival of nurse and Of physi-
clan, DIR. Jackson, from Boston, during the
night was the result of the belief that
! the secretary would undoubtedly need the
most careful nursing and medical atten-
! ton during the coming days. The family,
| however, does not apprenend any danger
| whatsoever from Mr.. Hays illness, but
| they realize that the attack Of uraemia Of
| Saturday, following, as it did, a period
| Of illness for which MIR. Hay went abroad
| for treatment, weakened the secretary's
! physical power and required at least that
he remain quietly in bed for several days.
During the night and morning a number
| Of telegraphic messages arrived from
| friends inquiring as to the condition of
the patient and expressing the hope Of i'm
mediate return to health.
At Il o'clock it was stated at the Fells,
Secretary Hays home, that the secretary
was decidedly better" today than he was
| yesterday.
Among the kilograms received was the
| following from President Roosevelt:
| cannot but be concerned about your tel
! egram, but am utterly confident that the
! trouble is but evanescent.

COAL BARONS THIRD
 IN PENNANT RAGE
THE REVISED STANDING SHOWS SHREVEPORT AND MEMPHIS TIED FOR SECOND PLACE JUST AHEAD OF vAUGHANITEs

The Age-Herald thls morning presents 4 revised standing of the teams In the Southern league championship race. The revision places Birmingham In the hrs' division, two points in front of Montgom- cry. which is only three points In the rear of Shreveport and Memphis, which are tied for second place, with g per centage of .53O.
 Montgomery will doubtless claim that the result of yesterdays game entities the Pretzles to second place, but the or fioial figures do not read that way.
 It is well known that in order to be correct, figures showing the standing oi the teams must balance. That IS, the number of games won and the number lost must figure out even.
 If eight teams should play four games in one day. four would have lost one game each, and the other quartette would have won the same number
 The revised standing presented this morning shows that altogether 460 yic- tories have been won by all the teams, and of course the same number of battles must have been lost. That is exactly what is shown by the revised standing Figures are usually trLe, and the standing as presented Is undoubtedly correct, re- gardless of many standings that are be- ing presented daily.

COUNTY BOARD
 TO MEET TOMORROW
MAY TAKE UP MATTER OF CHILL DREN OF UNION AND NoN-UNloN MINERS ATTENDING THE SAME SCHOOLS.

The regular meeting of the county board of education will be held tomorrow morning in the office of County Superin- tendent of Education McAdory on the third floor of the court house building.
 This will be the last meeting of the beard before the majority of the schools throughout the county open for the fall term. It is very probable that the mat ter of the trouble between the children of the union and non-union miners in att tending the same schools will be brought up. Routine matters relating to the opening of the various schools through out the county will be taken up.
 The recent trouble experienced at Brigh- ton in the opening of the school at that place will come up. It is thought that the board may take an opportunity to ex- press itself in regard to the matter.
 It will be remembered that there were two factions in the board of trustees of the school, and one faction sought by the use of padloeks to restrain sle other from opening the school The assistance of a claw hammer opened the doors to the children and the school has started with a good enrolment.

Atlanta, September 7.-Georgia's s state board of health late this afternoon is- sued a proclamation quarantining the en- tire state against all yellow fever in- fected points. The quarantine will become effective as soon as inspectors can be placed on trains entering the state, but the order Is expected to be in full opera tion tomorrow. Certificates showing that the person in entering the state has not been in infected places within the preced- ing ten days will be accepted. It Is not likely that this quarantine will be en- forced strenuously for day or two, and those who have started before the ac- tion of the board can be made generally known are not likely to be seriously inconvenienced. The state board issued the following proclamation:
 'Whereas, information has reached the state board of health of Georgia that yellow fever exists in various points out side of the limits of the state of Geor- gia; and
 Whereas, the disease is highly infec- tious, and persons coming from such in fected points are liable to spread the con- tagion in Georgia, thereby endangering the health and lives of the citizens or this state
 Therefore, in pursuance of law aSd under the authority. of law vested in the state board of health of Georgia, all persons resident in said infected terri tory or who have been in the infected territory within ten days, are hereby warned and admonished that they will not be permitted to enter thls state under penalty of the law. and the state board in pursuance of authority granted hereby requires all counties and municipalities in this state to aid in the enforcement of this quarantine.
