Quarantine Matters

DR.. Rhett Goode, president of the
quarantine board of Mobile bay, has
received notice from Secretary Cortel
you that the government has accepted
the Mobile quarantine plant located
near Fort Morgan The transfer is tc
be made this week, with the sanction
of the state of Alabama.
At the same time the government
will take over the quarantine station
at the mouth of the Mississippi river
together with four minor quarantine
stations owned by Louisiana along her
coast. The marine hospital service will
hereafter conduct and maintain the
five stations.
1--WE will enter" says the New Or.
leans Times-Democrat, upon the sum
mer, therefore, with a quarantine that
will be uniform throughout the south
barring Texas only, and which will pre-
vent any possibility of friction between
the states such as has been too fire.
quent in the past"
The transfer of maritime quarantine
on the gulf to the marine hospital sery-
ice has long been considered desirable,
and the only regret is that Texas for
commercial reasons refuses to become
a part of the movement. But Texas will
tire of independence and commercial
ism in this matter, and after while
she no doubt, too, will hand over her
port quarantine stations to the service
best fitted to conduct them.

WANE OF RELIGIOUS
INTEREST IN N. Y.

Washington, March 13.-The decline of
religious interest in New York, particu-
larly among workingmen. was the sub
ject of a conference at the White House
today between the President aud DR.. a.
p. Atterbury. president; DR.. Walker Laid
law, secretary. and Dr. Sage Donald Mac
Kay, representing the Federation of
Churches of that city. Their visit was for
the purpose of enlisting the Presidents
aid toward arousing a greater interest
i'll religion in New York, and thereby eff
fecting the establishment of additional
churches. 1t was pointed out that there
are three less Protestant churches in New
York this year than there were six years
ago, although there are six more Catholic
churches and eighteen more synagogues.
The federation believes, however, that
notwithstanding these increases, religious
interest in New York is on the wane, and
its members are doing everything possible
to check the condition by holding daily
services in various parts of the city where
considerable numbers of workingmen are
employed.
The President displayed deep interest in
the matter and promised to aid the cause
in every way possible.
