OUARAHriNE ■ REGULATIONS Dr. Barron Says the Conven tion in Atlanta Was a Great Success. OUTLINE OF THE WORE T hat Was Done and Which Will Prove Most Effective in Pre venting Any Ye''ow Fever. r T»r. R. W. Barren •* :o attend. 1 th .conference in Atlanta of health officers an! representatives of the various cities • for ''it purpo-*' of devising .:.■ isures ci! means with wjiich to meet a future epidemic of yellow fever should !■•: Barron express'd himself as very mu h pl> ise.i with the results of the con fer* net. “It could hardly be called a con \etiti<i:i." h> -aid. "It was a conference. I: wi- a thoroughly business-like body, ii i i • implush’J i remarkable amount of work in a short time. A co le of rules and r«-ulat an-, covering all points incident to quarantine work in case of an epidemic, wa a liipti 1. The resolutions adopted by •.ii- confidence will be presented to all the governor- within the territory liable to be ■iff.”;. I by yellow fever with the request 11 :.y be submitted to all sanitary au- : lori; • s within the bounds of their re spect.v. states, with Instrctions that the r.-ul r.oils be adopted as a basis for a .inform quarantine system in future. If t ir-i n immendations be carried out the refill's will be very beneficial in case of any future epidemic in bringing about a uniform system of quarantine and doing tway with the dangerous and objectiona bl sho'gun quarantine. The adoption of a uniform health certificate for use by all Southern cities In ease of an epidemic, is i led le i step In the right direction, and will save much of the confusion and incon venience which resulted from the variety of cert.fi it.' in vogue last summer. The i’tion of the conference in defining what ar -les o’ goods may be shipped as freight without the necessity of disinfection, as well as that of providing what means of disinfection shall be used for other goods and .(-■ •les will prove of great advantage, . specially to 'the transportation lines by liminishing the interference with traffic in case of an epidemic. The provision for I.’tention camps is a wise one. The es .ontial point to he guarded against, so far as non- nfecter territory is concerned, is to prevent persons coming from a non infec.tel territory without taking the nec esesari steps to insure their freedom from infection The detention camps will pro \ le for this, and no person will be allow el to have an infected locality without a certificate showing that he has spent the requisite time in the detention camp, and is free from infection. Such a person will ' ’ a be at liberty through non-infected territory without interference from local ■ i iarm: tie. The detention camps will !>a under :'ie control of the marine hospital .service." The form of certificate adopted by the conference is as follows: Office of Board of Health of H alt’a Off let r Ta whom it May concern: This is to certify that .Mr. ■ — has given satisfactory evidence to me that he lias been in net less than ten lays, and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, he has not been exposed to the (iifec.tion of yellow fever and has no been in any infected or suspected locality for ten days. Pcs p: ion: Age. years: weight, pounds. Hight. —: complex lon, Health Officer. Signature: When 1. med necessary, affilivit shall b ' required by the health officer. The certificate will be issued without The News has already published the res olution adopted by the conference, approv- >g tlje plan of having medical inspectors attached to those consulates where yellow fever and cholera are epidemic, for the better protection of the ports of this coun- -y by enabling the health authorities to o’. a.n prompt and exact information of the san..ary conditions prevailing in such a consular districts. The convention also adopted a resolu tion expressing the opinion that it is a duty levolvlng upon all nations to take meas ures to eradicate any plague centers ex ins in their territory, ami that the exist ence of such plague centers in a menace to all other nations, “and that our state department be requested to take meas ures through proper diplomatic channels for the conveyance of this opinion to the governments deemed obnoxious to this ouinion as herein expressed," The regulations adopted providing for the iifferent features of quarantine afe lengthy an I apparently cover the entire matter thoroughly. Regulations are provided for .he management of quarantine stations, the handling of freight, and marine hos al inspection of shipments. Regulations for yellow fever when it has made its ap pearance. were also adopted. These are more in the nature of instructions, and ; rovide for intelligent and systematic con trol of the disease. Regulations from rail roil traffic to and from infected points . re also adopted.

The entertainment at the Academy of Music last night was enlivened by a pa triotic feature improvised at the last mo ment, but especially pleasing to a large audience present at the time. Just after the conclusion of the singing of aux Italien by the quartet and While the house was ringing with encores the Macon Valunteers marched in. They were just coming from inspection at the armory and were accompanied by Col. C. M. Wiley and Captain Duncan of his staff. The Volunteers were applauded as they entered the house and occupied seats re served for them in front . After the entered the band struck the first few bars of “America. Mr. Harry Edwards appeared on the stage and said that he had been asked to deliver a sentiment on a subject, the in terest in which occupies the attention of seventy million people wanting for the words that passed over the wires that over this city: “Upon your boulevard there is a marble statue, whose imperial pose and change less lines record the Southern hero of a hundred battlefields. The mind that plan ned its foundation and its pose must have been touched by the magic wand of proph ecy. for its back is toward the bloody chasm and the sad, harsh issues of the past; its face is set toward that far harbor of Havana, where in their iron coffins rest America s immortal dead.” When Mr. Edwards had concluded the band again struck up the notes of America and as the audience rose en masse and singing Miss Emma Wise walked on the stage carrying the colors of the Macon Volunteers, which she waved as the na tional hymn was sung from end to end with the deepest fervor. , Then as the last echoes of the great vol ume of sound died away the band played Dixie and the applause that had been loud became as thunder. It was the incident of the evening. The whole entertainment passed off with wonderful smoothness. The Macon post is to be congratulated upon its splendid audience which assured good return from the performance. The great feautre of last night’s per formance was the presentation of “A Morning Call" by Miss Ida Mangham and Mr. Monroe Ogden. It was a delightful surprise to the au dience. The verdiot was that i't was the best thing ever seen in Macon, and Man ager Shaw says that in all his experience he never saw a finer piece of acting than that which was done by these two, who kept the audience pleased and delighted from start to finish.
