2 ATLANTANOTIMMUNE So D 1 Claris Dr. Guiteras, Thought No Danger of it Spreading Nov. FAMOUS EXPERT T LKS OF FEVER Says I€-It Was Not For the Lateness of the Season the Situation Would Be Very Grave. Dr. Guiteras, the famous fever expert, who is in the government service, was in Atlanta Sunday. He has completed his work and is en route to Washington to make his report. He is possibly the greatest living auth. ority on yellow fever, and his opinions are regarded as accurate in every parti cular. To a Constitution man he had much to say, and a portion of the inter view is printed below; Dr. Guiteras says Atlanta will not be affected this year, on account of the late date. He thinks there is no danger at present in admitting the refugees. He says, however, it is not impossible for fever to become epidemic in Atlanta. In fact, he intimates that if the scourge had started earlier, and that if we had admitted refugees as we have for tbe last few weeks, there would have been great danger of an outbreak. He does not believe by any means that Atlanta is im muned on account of her excellent sanitation and climatic conditions. ‘•I have been making a very careful study of the situation,” said Dr. Guiteras last night, “I would consider the con dition of the fever extremely alarming, were it earlier in the season. I have scarcely ever seen the disease spread over so many localities in so short a time, and if it had started in June or July the ■death rate would have been very large, and there would be no telling what the results might be. “Under present conditions, however, I am inclined to think the situation is hopeful, to say the least. The type of fever appears to be comparatively mild, the death rate not being great so far. The usual mortality of epidemics of yel low fever is about 10 per cent. In Brunswick, during their most trying times, the mortality was about 8 per cent., and in Jacksonville about 12 per cent. It is, of course, impossible ( to estimate now, but I think the present epidemic will be about 10 per cent. “I do not regard with much favor the manner in which fever is spread ing over the country. I think, how ever, it will be confined entirely to the south, and will not go much be yond its present bounds. “Atlanta, in my opinion, cannot have fever this year. It is too late. Had the disease started earlier, how ever, and the refugees admitted as they are now, you might have had some trouble. I do not believe At lanta is immune. True, climatic con ditions, as well as elevation, would prevent to some extent, but the argu ment that yellow fever has never spread here does not hold. Other places which claimed never to have had fever, have been unexpectedly and grieviously surprised. I think every precaution should be taken. The city is practically safe, however, at this time.” Will Be No Fever Next Year. Dr. Guiteras does not think there will be any fever next year. The government is taking steps to kill the germs now. Arrangements are being made to thoroughly fumigate every house, and every locality where the fever has been in every city and town in the south. It is hoped in this way to wipe out the disease entirely. Dr. Guiteras uses every"precaution in preventing spreading the disease himself. Every time he visits an in fected district he chsftges clothes from head to foot. This requires a good deal of expense and an elaborate wardrobe, but he deems the change necessary on account of -coming in contact with other people. GRAND LODGE TODAY. Pnoininent Masons From All Over The Country Will Be In Macon. The grand lodge of masons will meet in Macon this morning. It is said that one of the most import ant questions to be discussed at the meeting will be that of establishing a Masonic orphans’ home, and that one of the schemes for raising the necessary funds is to reduce the mileage now al lowed grand lodge delegates, As has been well-known for the past hundred piFEGT MO BThe world admires t2ie perfect itlanl Not courage, dignity, or muscular development alone, but that subtle and wonderful force known ut SEXUAL VITALITY which is the fclory us inanlicod-tho pride of both old and young, but there an thousands of men Buffering the mental tortures of a weakened manhood, obattereti nerves., and failing sexual power who can be cured by our Magical T reatment which may be taken at homo jnder our directions or we will pay R.

Omaha, years, the delegates are allowed 10 cents a mile each way for railroad fare, while as a matter of fact the cest to them is never more than 2 cents. When tie lodge was first organized in Georgia the delegates had to travel by stage, in wagons, etc., and tbe 10 cents mileage each way was a very reasonable sum, but now since the railroads have reduced the fare to 2 cents a mile for the delegates, some of the members of the order insist that the mileage ought to ba changed, and reduced to actual cost. There is some argument against this, it being! held the wage-earners who have to leave their work and go to Macon to attend the meetings of the grand lodge are en titled to something more than bare ex ] .eases. Although Atlanta and Macon are both laying claims to the masonic orphans’ home, there is no doubt, whatever that Rome will secure it, should the masons decide to establish such an institution.

State Department Not Received the Answer to the United Miates. Washington, Oct. 25.—1 tis stated positively at the White House and at the state department that up to noon the answer of Spaiu to the United States had not reached the president nor Secretary Sherman, nor had they received the 2,00 u-word cable communi cation, which it is said Minister Wood ford sent in cypher from Madrid last Saturday. Under these circumstances it ia itn« possible that any formal consideration could be given by the executive author ities here as to the next move on th, part of this government. There is an abundance of speculation in and about the White House as to the issue pre sented by Spain’s answer, as briefly summarized in cable reports, but from no authoritative source could it be learned that the administration had outlined any line of policy to meet the situation presented. Secretary Sherman did not come tc the White House during the morning, and Assistant Secretary of State Day had gone to Ohio, so that there was no opportunity for a conference on the Spanish-Cuban situation. CAS WO XilA-. m. Always in the Lead, v Speaking of the bicycle, the New York World in a recent issue says: The bicycle was originally a French invention, but American workmanship and ingenuity have so greatly improved and cheapened it that we are supplying the French with a large share of their wheels. Consular reports state that the French government received last year no less than $551,000 in tariff duties on American bicycles, while the importa tions from England amounted to nearly nothing. On the other hand, there is scarcely one French wheel in all America. This seems to show that when the American workingman undertakes to compete with foreign labor be is gen erally far in the lead of the procession.

TUESDAY, OCTOBEtf 26, 1887 BONDS ARE ISSUED Chattanooga, Rone & Southern File Pa pers On $500,000 Worth. WILL THE LINE BE EXTENDED? Chattanooga Railroad Officials Think That it Will Be Done, But Nothing is Known of it Here. The Chattanooga, Rome and Southern railway has issued $500,000 5 per cent, first jgold mortgage bonds to the Union Trust company, of New Yoik, payable July Ist, 1947. The interest on the bonds is to be paid semi-annually, says the Chettanooga Times. Early yesterday morning the papers were filed with the county register. The law requires that a copySof the mortgage be filed in each of the several counties through which the road passes. In the mortgage it is stipulated that the holders will have a lien on all of the appurtenances, equipment, property and franchises of the entire system from Chat tanooga to Carrollton, Ga. This mort - gage is subjected to a first mortgage lien of $150,000, due the Farmers’ Loan and Trust company, of New York, due on the Rome and Carrollton road. The document is srgned by Charles B. Wilburn, president of the Chattanooga, Rome and Southern, and W. E. Huff, secretary of the company, on behalf of the road, and A. W. Kelly, vice presi dent of the Union Trust company. Railroad official who are in a posi tion to know express the opinion that this issuance of bonds has some spe cial significance, and that an extension of the road is possible. The company has long contemplated the reconstruc tion of suitable shops in Chattanooga and other improvements necessary for the proper maintenance of the road. The Chattanooga shops, it will be remembered, were burned by fire and were only temporary repaired The money, it is reported, will be used in making general repairs along the road. This railroad, it will be remembered was only recently bid in by the bond holders of tbe line and there still re mains some old debts which will have to be provided for out of the $500,000, also. If it is the intention of the owners to extend the line, the fact is not known by the officials here. The pol icy of the present management is to keep expenses down as much as possi ble, until the line is firmly established. It is not probable that any building will be done in the immediate future.

HIS UNIQUE LIBRARY, An Italian Bibliophile Who Keeps a Fruit Stand* [Special Correspondence.] Nashville, Oct. 25.—Possibly it is a result of atavism. The owner and gatherer of it may be of classic strain, reverting to the original type. He is an Italian of Italians. His name is Vin cente Costello, his business the selling of fruit from a street stand, his local habitation Nashville. He came to this city a good many years back, knowing no letter in any man’s book and speaking no word of any tongue but his own. Naturally he had hard lines at first. Good luck made him acquainted with a learned man and kindly, who, seeing something in the stout young stripling, was at the pains of teaching him his letters and some faint rudiments of English. Faint as they were, they sufficed tc waken in the young Italian a passion for books and the reading thereof. It is a-passion that has never flagged. The fruit business has brought him to de cent if modest competence. He lives with wife and child in airy apartments in a good quarter some small way from his store. There is a piano for the girl, who is rising 12, and pictures of Hum bert the Good and Margherita, the Pearl of Savoy, upon the walls. Queen Victoria is there, too, and his royal high ness the Prince of Wales. Yet for al! that Vincente Costello is a good Amer:-' can citizen, fully imbued with republic an ideas. Over against the royalties hangs the picture of Garabaldi, the liberator, with various and sundry great Americans to keep him company and countenance. The pictures, however, claim but a passing glance. It is the books you have come to see. They are well worth look ing at. All the spare space is taken up with tall cases, whose shelves are crowd ed in double rows with the cream of modern literature—English, French and Italian. Those three languages the master the reads d aftcy If the valuable properties of Tarrant’s Effervescent Seltzer Aperient were universally known, no family would be without it.

Sold by Druggists for 50 years. ■speatTß. msrreacnng is mernoaio and to a degree continuous. He keeps a big box of books at his shop and spends each fragment of leisure in their company. He reads also at night, and if he wakes restlessly anywhere after midnight tarns on the light and buries himself in some one of his beloved volumes. By consequence he is learned—not only beyond most fruit sellers, but above the average of ordinary business men. Not infrequently he and his li brary are called upon to settle some nice point of pronunciation or some knotty one of grammar or history. He has be come, indeed, a sort of literary court of last resort for gentlemen of any cloth who happen to disagree about such mat ters. He has dictionaries galore—in all three languages; cyclopedias, too, like wise polyglot and rare editions of Greek and Latin classics. Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” is on the shelves both in English and Italian. You find’there, too, exquisitely kept, but with marks of use, full sets of Her bert Spencer, Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin, Carlyle and Ruskiu. Taine is there and Guizot and Reuan and Bhgo; some volumes of Thiers also and, very plen tifully, the French classics. Altogether the library embraces about 6,000 volumes. A good many of them are old and nearly all of literary value. Fiction is almost conspicuously absent. A few very old Italian novels and a set of Dickens in 44 volumes, with illustra tions by Landseer, Cruikshank and oth er famous artists, serve to represent the imaginative side of literature. But the poets from Dante and Shakespeare down to Swinburne and Rossetti are there in force. There are several Shakespeares, indeed—one a big illustrated quarto, the bare sight of which fills a book lov er with longing and somewhat envious desire. There are Bibles, Latin, Greek, French, Italian, English—the English several times’over. In fact, it would be hard to name any conspicuous branch of literature that has not helped to fill Vincente Costello’s shelves. Taken as a whole, his library is as unique as it is interesting. Nowhere in the world, per haps, is there a nobler exemplification of native bent triumphing over unfavor ing environment. Martha McCulloch Williams.
