Federal Quarantine.

The quarantine bill is to go through minus Judge Richardson's Section r, which was based strictly on the ascer- tainments of science. The offending section provided that when the marine hospital service started a man on d train he could be carried straight through a state, but he could not stop in state except by permission of the state authorities. Science and human ity were both arrayed on Judge Rich ardsons side, but prejudice born of limited and antiquated knowledge was on the other side, and it went down under the blows rained on it by the Mississippi delegation.
 So long as a stegomyia mosquito was not ticketed with passenger starting from an infected town, it would be i'm possible to carry infection to another state, and there was and is no evidence that any infected town would dispatch yellow fever mosquitoes with passen- ger. However, early preiudices, like primitive knowledge, is stubborn, and the provision goes out of the bill.
 The bill carries an ample appropria- tion, $500 900, and every cent of it will be needed. If the marine hospital service gets busy at once, the bill can be put into full effect in a weeks time at all danger points. and that no doubt is what will be done. The yellow fever season Is young yet, and New Orleans has already taken many precautions against reappearance of the disease. Among other things 1t will begin a campaign against the stegomyias to a | finish It has been fighting them in a desultory way, but on Monday next | will be begun campaign which will 1 determine which is the bigger, the | mosquitoes or the people. This is the business way to fight yellow fever. It is the way it was fought down at Ha- vana, and later still at Panama, and it is the way to keep the disease out of this country.

AIabama's Home-C Coming Week.

New Hampshire instituted a home. coming week several years ago, and the fashion has spread far and wide. This week Kentucky will welcome 600,- 900 of her sons and daughters who live in other states, or rather she will wei come all of the number who desire to see their native state again. Enough, it is known, will come to make the week memorable.
 Alabama is almost a century old. She lacks but thirteen years of a cen tury, but we need not wait until 1919 in order to have homecoming weeks. Other states have them every year, and October Is delightful month in Alabama, and the old red hills and the Black Belt and the canebrake sections and the great valleys, and the little valleys, too, would in October be glad to welcome back even for a short. stay tAe wanderers
 There must be 100000 Alabamians living elsewhere, living away from the dear old state they were born in. Sen ntor Culberson would no doubt be glad to come back to Dadeville, and Ham. Patterson of Tennessee to Morgan county, and so on to the end of the long list, and the railroads would be glad to carry them at reduced rates. There Is really nothing In the way but lit tie effort and a general invitation and a nome coming welcome.

Zombory and His Dou,

Sportsman Zombory of Budapest, Hungary, has a dog. That dog bit Johan Sauces, a clerk In the Hungarian land mortgage bank. Sauces railed at the dog, and Zombory insulted Sauces. On the following day Sauces challenged Zombory to mortal combat, but NJ. Zombory said the clerks social posi- tion precluded the customary satisfac- ton.
 Things began to hum at Budapest, or at least in Budapest's banks, for Il 7Aank officials championed Clerk SzEwts' cause, and promptly chal- lenged Zombory. Six hundred and four seconds-four for Zombory-held a meeting on Saturday night, and ar. ranged to have the duels fought with pistols on Sunday night, one bullet to be exchanged in each duel until satis- '<rticn is secured-that is to say, until '(mbory has piled up enough dead to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-06-12

satisfy him, or until zombory has a streak of daylight in his irate and stormy person.
 But on Sunday morning Zombory apologized to the 150, and he decided that, lofty as he and his dog are in the social scale, they could and would fight Sauces. The date of the single duel had not been determined at the latest report
 It is widely regretted that an apology prevented the 150 challengers from standing in rows formed in military fashion, from whom by lots men would be drawn to fight the dog owner and sportsman to a standstill.
 The Budapest people have not had so much fun in a long time as they have drawn from Zombory and his dog. Sauces is the hero of the day, and Zombory and his dog have few friends outside the ranks of the cartoonists. The cartoonists are coining money ana zombory and his dog are accommodating epithets of all sorts.

Presidential Pay.

On a strictly technical parliamentary point the item of S25,OOO for the travel ing expenses of the President was stricken out of the sundry civil appro- priation bill, but before it had been cut out there were free expressions in it's favor. It will doubtless reappear in some other form either at this session, or in the one beginning next Decem- Der.
 It is a mistake to say that the Pres ident's salary is $50,000. Congress man Sullivan showed on the floor of the House that the annual pay of the President stands at present at $2S3,- 3t0, even without the addition of $25,- 900 for travelling expenses, and MT. Sul- livan, a democrat, favored that addi- tion.
 MT. Williams of Mississippi opposed the addition for travelling expenses be- cause the President travels too much, especially when Congress is in session. Congressmen, too, did likewise. Alto gether the House seems to have been glad to get rid of the item for travel ing expenses. If the republicanism had the courage of their convictions they would have ordered palace car for the use of the President, and this would mean in the course of time a yard full of palace cars for the use of various officials of high degree, real mandarins of the new republic. But an election is coming on, and the re- publicans could not be induced to face the mustic. They tried to sneak out by putting on item in the sundry civil bill, and even this was weeded out be- cause 1t was new legislation. The President will therefore have to get along on $2S3,31O during the coming fiscal year.

Summer Drink.

"The most satisfying and cooling sum mer drink yet found is buttermilk, said a travelling man last night. Tt is sold over every bar in the north and west, and the demand is greater than the sup ply. I am surprised that such is not the case here for the south Is the home of buttermik.
 q remember the time when people in the north would not drink buttermilk. 1t was not to be had at the restaurants there because they had an idea that it was fit only for pigs, as they said. It is absolutely the most refreshing thing in the world. It beats all the limeades and Iemonades to death. Of course. tulips are all right. That is different. They hold an undisputed place as a business mans drink But just for something soft to cool and refresh give me buttermilk every time"

THE HEAvINe OF THE LEAD.
Charles Dtbdin

By Charles Dtbdin. For England when with favoring gale Our gallant ship up channel steered And, scudding under easy sail,
 The high blue western land appeared; To heave the lead the seaman sprung, And to the pilot cheerly sung,
 By the deep-nine!' And bearing up to gain the port,
 Some well-known object kept in view An abbey-tower, harbor-fort,
 Or beacon to the vessel true; While oft the lead the seaman flung, And to the pilot cheerly sung,
 By the mark-seven!'' And as the much-loved shore we near, With transport we behold the roof Where dwelt a friend or partner dear, Of faith and love a matchless proof The lead once more the seaman flung, And to the watchful pilot sung,
 Quarter less-five.' Now to her berth the ship draws nigh, We shorten sail.--she. feels the tide,- Stand clear the cable is the cry The anchors gone; we safely ride, The watch Is set, and through the night We hear the seamen with delight
 Proclaim-"Alrs well!'

LOUISIANIAN'S DEADLY
 LUNGE AT RACE SIJJCIDE

expense We are inclined to think. indeed. 'nal wedding bells will ring in every HOOK ana corner of Louisiana until the whole superficial area of the state ia taken up with government baby farms. Within ten years, and the new stock of bachelors and marriageable females will nave emigrated to Arkansas Mississippi or Iexas. By that time 1t will be no longer possible to walk or ride or drive any, where without doing bodily injury to a public baby. Altogether, we see no reason why Louisiana shouldn't try the experi- ment. It reads mighty pretty, and you never can tell about these things until they are tried.

Dewey's Advantages.

"Taken all in all there is perhaps no man in the United States, in the service of the government or out of it, who is in more enviable position than is Ad- miral Dewey" said a citizen yesterday.
 Congress has given him the rank pay and allowances of an admiral of the navy, reviving the rank for his benefit He Is absolutely independent of the Secretary of the Navy and of the President of the United States He cannot be retired and he cannot be disciplined by reduction in rank or any of the other usual means employed The place gives him an- nual income of $15.500 If he chose to do so he could close down his desk, go home and never turn his hand over in the way of work, either for the navy or any one else, and his pay and allowances would go on as long as he lives But the ad- miral prefers to work and to work hard.
 Across the street from the big stone pile in which the navy department is housed a wealthy retired naval officer named Mills has built a great ten-story granite and marble building. which is
 
 all of the bureaus which have been creat- ed since the navy building was erected, and hence for which there is no room in it, are located
 Admiral Dewey has his office on the fourth floor of this building, and there is nothing in furnishings or otherwise to distinguish 1t from the other government offices. He is at the head Of the navy general board. This board is charged with the duty of devising all of the gen. eral plans for construction and improve ment of the navy and for the management of the ships. the handling of officers and men, and the control of the great govern ment shipyards. Every day. when he is not at sea for the maneuvers. he is at his desk in his office or attending to the meetings of the board. There are few men in the government service who keep longer hours and accomplish more in the way of work

NEWSPAPER DIFFICULTIES.
How Dailies of San Francisco Have
 Been Issued Since the Quake.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 In the great effort to re-establish busi- ness houses few can appreciate the ex- traordinary efforts put forth by the news papers to serve subscribers daily with the worlds news.
 Probably in no commercial enterprise was greater exertion put forth than to find new homes for the great San Francis co dailies, every one of which was com pletely burned out, and plants wrecked. This drove the dailies across the bay to the homes of smaller journals, most of which operate with a single press and from two to five typesetting machines.
 Commencing with isues of four sheets the first day after the earthquake, pa- pers like the Chronicle have steadily grown until they are issuing now sixteen page editions. To do this every job print ing office in Alameda, Oakland and Berkeley, and in fact, every available machine within a radius of ten miles of Oakland has been pressed Into service and kept working the full twenty-four hours.
 As a sample of the manner in which the sixteen pages of reading and advertising matter was assembled in the Chronicle to- day, ten columns were set in a neWspa- per office in Alameda, carried by wagon to the composing rooms of the Oakland Herald from which the Chronicle is being issued. Other papers have had to resort to the same expedients, getting part Of their matter set up in some instances twenty miles away. The limited supply of tyue and paper in the smaller offices to which San Francisco dailies have been driven has also been a great handicap. It has been often necessary for a compositor to distribute story the same night-it was set up in order to secure sufficient type for another story for the same edi- ton.
 Despite these obstacles all the big dailies are being issued regularly, and subscribers are obtaining their favorite papers as though nothing had occurred Prosperity Is manifested more clearly in the newspapers than in any other way It is impossible to meet the demands or advertisers for space. Many times day the allotment of space has to be cut, de- spite the fact that business men are ready and willing to pay the full advertising rates with cash.
 With all the extra work necessary to get out the papers in Oakland. no effort is be- ing spared to re-establish the plants of the San Francisco papers in their old homes Many complete eastern plants have been offered and with machines that had ai- ready been ordered and which are on the way from the east the proprietors of the three morning papers expect to be pub fishing papers on their own premises with in a few weeks.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Would Join Birmingham.

While I believe that majority of the citizens of Fairview favor incorporation, and will vote that way in the election to be held June 2s there are number of the best people who do not favor the move," said citizen of that place yesterday.
 T am of the opinion, and there are a number of others of like convictions, that Fairyiew would be benefited by being taken into Birmingham. This condition is inevitable some day in the very nature of things. and I am of the opinion that the earlier many of the small comnpni- ties annex themselves to the parent mu- nicipality the better for them and the better it will be for Birmingham.
 T find a growing sentiment in favor of annexation in all the small municipali- ties lying close to the city, and l believe that in a few years this sentiment will be almost unanimous. We all claim Bir- mingham as our city, and are proud of it's development and I believe that every adjacent community would be benefited by joining in and completing the whole"

Chancellor Day Auain.

Chancellor Day knows how to adver- tlse. He is almost a match for pro- lessor in Chicago university In the Triggs era. He again attacks Presi- dent Roosevelt, but this time he at tacks him because of his exposure of the beef trust. He thinks government by the people for the people is a de- ception unless the people continue to eat hog cholera sausage, and potted goods of mild makes and favors.
 He assails everybody who assails the Chicago packing houses from Upton Sinclair to Theodore Roosevelt, and yet all the while he has only Brother Arch bold in his knowing eyes. The chan cellor has undertaken to upset an ad- ministration which does not fear the firm of Rogers & Archbold, but he never mentions Archbold or Rogers or the Standard Oil His new raid upon the administration Is wholly based on beeftrust exposures. It is perhaps easier to assail the Sinclair Roosevelt raid upon the horrors of the packing quietly but steadily bringing to light the underground methods by which the Archbolds have crushed competi- tion in the oil trade, but whether it was easier or not that is the line Day took He defends Archbold by assail- ing Upton Sinclair and the magazine writers.
 Let Chancellor Day stick to his first love-to the delightful competition crusher-to Archbold Let him stick to him, and not endeavor to cover his tracks by throwing beef-trust rhetoric in our faces. Day is committed to Arch bold, and he should not desert him when he is on trial in Ohio, in Kansas. and in Missouri, and will soon be on trial in all the states. Day lacks cour- age when he swaps Archbold for Ogden Armour. Armour has not called for defenders, and Day should rally once more in defense of Brother Archbold, who is almost good enough to be fitted with wings. He certainly is in Days estimation much too good for these times and this country. and he may fly away, laeving us bereft and uncom- forted, for Day would not lift hand to aid the land if Archbold and his cneckbook should be eliminated.

THE BEAUTIFUL CHORUS GIRL.
Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 If beauty lies in the eye of the be- holder, all chorus girls no doubt, must be considered beautiful, The ancient jest concerning their possible ugliness in pri- vate life has no real pertinence. With that the beholder has no concern; he should be content to survey them as they appear in the witching illumination of the footlights. If he seeks to investigate their appearance from the point of view of the stage entrance and Is bitterly disappointed the fault is his own. Nimium ne crede colori. The chorus girl is beautiful sim ply as a chorus girl; no more is required of her. It Is a dangerous experiment, therefore, on the part of the management of the New York Casino to start beauty contest among the young women who novelty of the scheme, of course, lies in >its application. Votes for the superla- tive in any category. the prize to be a trip to Europe. have been plenteously cast for many years. But there are pe- culiar perils in awarding the palm to the
 
 Doubtless the girls themselves are free from envy, malice and all uncharitable- ness. Miss Violet Jewel. with 20 votes, Is delighted to see Miss Della Spray climb ing up to S52. Possibly, like Jane Eyre. she knows she is not beautiful save in a professional sense. Yet if 29 persons thinks she is. her case cannot be re- garded as hopeless. It may be only the presence of her rivals which makes her seem less fascinating than they. The vio- let by messy stone, half hidden from the eye, may give greater pleasure than a whole bush of Haunting rhododendrons, and a star may be very fair when only one is shining in the sky. No public test of beauty can possibly be just. The fact that the young women at the Casino move rapidly up and down on the list demonstrates that. Irmas admirers are out in force one night. Edna's the next She who gets the most votes will go to Europe, but her title to the honor will be warmly disputed, if not by her com petitors. at least by her admirers. It would not be surprising if "The Social Whirl' were in the end broken up al- together by this hazardous device to pro- long it's career.

Mobiles Progress.

Mobile is growing steadily and we are planning as many and as great improve ments as Birmingham and other southern cties,' said w. F. Tebbetts, collector of ports at Mobile, who was in Birmingham yesterday en route home after visit to Anniston. The money has been raised for a hotel to cost s1,OOOOOO to be erected on the site of the old Battle house. which was burned down. It will be one of the finest in the south and it will be owned practically by Mobile people. All the money for the hotel was subscribed by Mobile people.
 Beside that we have just completed another large hotel with very good ca- pacity and with modern appointments in every way. We needed it just like all the southern cities need hotels.
 Mobile Is also making many other m- provements and she is advancing very rapidly in business circles. What might be called a new life has come to the city and the visitor can see the signs of improvement on all sides
 We are all greatly interested in the reported deal for the purchase of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad by the Frisco system. That is one of the longest independent roads in the country, ested in 1t financially It Is a splendid piece of property and has the finest termi- nal facilities in Mobile"

WINTER ON IBsEN.

From the New York Tribune
 The death of Henrik Isben removes rom the scene one of the most conspicu- ous types of the modern spirit of unrest. He was the spokesman of those dndivid- uals whose discontent with themselves and with existing conditions urges them to rebellion but who lack either the re- ligious faith or the intellectual power to force their destines to happy issue. It IS the natural tendency of such fevered souls and yeasty minds to take the line of least resistance. and Isben indicated 1t for them in declaring that the ego should have it's chance, though the heav- ems were to fall. This comfortable doc- Urine being the burden of his writings. he naturally came to assume tremendous importance in many quarters and his death must undoubtedly be noted with interest wherever social questions are dis cussed. Isben brought to the handling of those questions something of the artis- tic temperament, but more of the sardon- ically philosophic mind. He had a strange ly mixed nature. Nominally he dealt with the problems of mankind at large. He sought to give the personages in his drama universal significance; he tried to make them symbols of modern life, rather than exemplars of purely local con- ditfons. He starts with the presumption that his characters are nothing If not rep resentative. He was not gifted however, with quite enough creative power, with quite enough sweep of imagination, to lift his men and women above a pedes- trian level. He was born provincial, and provincial pettiness limits the ef- feet of all his plays. These leave the inn pression, not of genius for taking wide and penetrating views. but of a talent for dramatizing episodes of human weakness, wrong -headedness. viciousness or fiat stu pidity, as the case may be. The philos- opher has glimpses of broad laws of con duct or of fate, but he cannot see deep enough, to rise high enough, to grasp their secret or to interest them in such wise to make them truly inspiring.
