ANOTHER CONCESSION TO rHE BRANCH.
A Passenger and Msn Train will be Added Next
Sunday to the Service on the ST. Paul Road.

The Sunday train service on the La
Crosse & Southeastern road between
Viroqua and La Crosse has spurred the
st. Paul Company to the necessity of
competing with the new line, and hence
an added train TO run between Viroqua
and Sparta on Sundays, something we
have never enjoyed. Next Sunday is
the date set for establishing the new
service. The train will leave Sparta on
arrival of the fast mail from the east,
about ten o'clock, arriving here shortly
after eleven. Returning the train will
depart from Viroqua about noon, ar
irving at Sparta in season to connect
with the east bound passenger Passen-
ger and mail service only will be given
on the Sunday train.
This added service viii be welcomed
by the travelling public and citizens
along the line.

stroy a woman's love of home. These three things are womens clubs and bridge among the upper and middle classes and religious revivals among the lower
 The passion for bridge has accen- tuated thousandfold the dislike of home, which was begun by the wo- mems clubs. The overmastering de- sire to obtain money that has not been earned by work Is about the most dis integrating and vulgar passion to when an idle woman gives way to this insidious excitement home life may call In vain. The worst part of the bridge craze is its effect on young girls. What chance is there of a girl ever edeveloping love of home when she has once drunk deep of the ex- citment of afternoons and evenings devoted to bridge and winning or los- ing of money? The feminine brain is not as rule remarkable for its strength of balance and Its tendency to exaggeration either in good or evil is a well known characteristic"

 Rev. James N Thompson. the negro rector of the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, had an exciting experience to- 7. err Louis sDolive for an excursion to the eastern shore. An immense crowd of negroes thronged the boat. All went we'll until the boat got under way, when she began leaking and had to put back to port. Once the negroes got ashore they began clamoring for their money. Thompson went to his home on State and Warren Streets and the crowd followed.
 So de .nonstrative were they that the riot call was sent to police headquar- ters and Chief Rondeau and a posse went there. The minister returned the money to a large number after the po- lice arrived. Chief Rondeau said when he arrived the negroes looked very ugly and threatening.

ENFORCING QUARANTINE.
Dr. Sanders Satisfied With Work
 North Alahama

North Alabama.
 W. R. Brassell, Chief Clerk of the State Board of Health. returned from Birmingham last night after an in HpectioE of the quarantine operations in the regions of that city and Annis- ton. Gadsden and Huntsville.
 He reports a few changes in men and methods made on his suggestions and at the instance of State Health Officer W. H. Sanders. These are expected to increase the efficiency of the service of State quarantine which was reputed in certain quarters to be lax in the north ern part of the State.
 pr. Sanders yesterday confirmed the statement that Quarantine Supervisor B. Frank Toe for the Birmingham circuit was removed from the service on his (Dr. Sanders) last visit to Bir- mingham. The State Health Officer would not discuss the details of the cause of Supervisor Yoe's removal but said that there had been unnecessary friction between the officer and the train guards working under him.
 It Is said that Supervisor Toe was remiss In the matter of paying off his subordinates. mixing the time of the men so that they were very frequently complaining.
 While Dr. Sanders was in Birming- ham Monday he was in conference with few. of the train men who pre- sented their complaints. The confer once resulted in the demand for Mir. Yoe's resignation.
 As a successor to MT. Toe Dr. San ders has appointed w. Barnes Morgan. a well known man of Birmingham. MT. Morgan was appointed yesterday af- ternoon and took immediate charge of the office. He was highly recommend cd by Mayor Ward, the Chief of Police and other officials of Birmingham. MT Toe has seen considerable service in the State quarantine service. He be- gan in 1897 as a regular train guard and was promoted in 1898 to the posi- ton of supervisor of the Birmingham circuit. He served throughout the re- mainder of that epidemic in the capac- ity os supervisor.

Health Officer Would Not Dignity Bfr- minmham Case ms Suspicious.

Health OnCeE W Outu GNVt Dk8AhAs AAA
 minEham Case as Suspicious.
 While pr. w. H. Sanders, State Health Officer. was in Birmingham Tuesday he investigated what was thought to be a suspicious case of yell low fever at theF Birmingham deten- ton camp.
 It required only a brief examination of the patient for Dr. Sanders to deter mine that instead of being afflicted with the yellow fever he was suffering from ordinary chills and fever.
 Dr. Sanders said yesterday he would not dignify the case by calling 1t sus- picious, although he admitted there was excitement in Birmingham when 1t was bruited about that the case was from Montgomery. The excitement would not be allayed by the assurance that the patient went to Birmingham before Minnihett ever thought of com ing to Montgomery from Louisiana.
 This stubborn resistance of facts may also account for the onerous restric- tions imposed by the Birmingham quar- antine officers beginning the first of the week. A passenger who may be compelled to- change cars in Mont gomery and desires to do the same in Birmingham upon reaching that city Is given no choice, but is locked in a coach or Pullman car and sent out Of the city to change cars as best he can. In this way absolutely harmless pas sengers, from no infected point, are driven to another city to make connec- tions at the sacrifice of tickets already purchased via Birmingham. < ..r s-.
 It Is said that when Dr. Sanders vis- ited the detention camp to look at the supposedly suspicious case he was met by a healthy-looking young man who showed him about the place.
 This is interesting" Dr. Sanders Is reported to have said, but I came to see the suspicious case of sickness"
 q am the suspicious case" the young man is said to have replied.
 The young man, so it Is said, left Montgomery before William Minnihett came here. but having had chill in Birmingham he was bundled off to the detention camp

A RELAY STATION.
Conyenieuces for Train Crews at Pratt
 yfllc Junction.

Conveniences for Train Crews at Pratt ville Junction. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad has provided conveniences at Prattville Junction for train crews operating on the south and north division. Birminghams quarantine regulations provide that no train crews from Mont gomery shall enter the precincts of the Magic City. Accordingly a relay sta- ton has been established at Pratt ville Junction. Conveniences for the crews that have to lay over at the junction have been established. Pratt vile Junction consists of a railway station, a store that Is opened at un- certain periods and a fine old ante belfum plantation four miles up a sandy road.
 The railroad recognized that con- veniences for the men must be estab- lished at this relay point.

CULLED FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

People who perspire easily do not wrinkle. and generally have a fine. clear
 skin; 1t Is therefore a good thing to in-
 duce free precipitation by exercise and
 hot baths. The face should be steamed.
 to soften the skin and smooth out the
 lines: 1t must then be bathed In cold
 water. This will act as tonic and
 make the flesh firm and pink. A muddy
 complexion will be greatly benefited
 by a course of mineral waters. Too
 much uric acid in the system Is respon-
 sible very often for a coarse. sallow
 skin. This may be entirely remedied
 by taking a dose of Rochelle salts (one to three teaspoonfuis. as necessary
 every morning for a few weeks. This treatment Is also good for any one with a rheumatic tendency.
 "Superfluous hair, that most distress | ing of all blemishes to a woman, can be ! entirely removed by piece of toilet 1 pumicestone. It must be passed firmly but lightly oyer the skin, care being taken not to chafe 1t. It is better to do this at bedtime. afterward applying g little cream to the parts (without rub bing), which should be left on all night. This Is a perfectly harmless remedy. and I hope 1t will meet the eyes of
 many who may be tempted to try de- pilatorfes. which only promote the
 growth of hair and too often inJure the
 skin.
 Those who suffer from hay fever, &C., companied by extreme irritation of the
 eyes. may be glad to know of remedy
 tried by a medical man. who. unable to pursue his work from the same cause, obtained instant relief from the use of adrenalin ointment. Douching the na- tA H. -U,. l tion Is beneficial and cleanses the mem- brane of poisonous secretions.
 A simple way of freshening and fumi- gating a sick room Is to sprinkle some brown coffee on a fire shovel eff there Is | an open fire in the room, on which two | or three red cinders have been placed.

 There have perhaps not been be- fore greater number of pleasant and distinguished people visiting in Bristol than are here this summer, and while there have not been many large social functions. a number of rather infor- mai but most pleasant affairs and en- tertainments have been given for the pleasure and entertainment of visitors here.
