Light ON the Halves Tragedy

Tho Birmingham Age Herald
yesterday morning published to the
world the most important evidence
in the Halves case that has ever been
made publish. A special detective
and a reporter from a faint clue
have followed 1900 miles and cap
tured an eye witness,or at least one
who knows an eye witness to the
tragedy. The veryimportant wits
ness is nephew of Fannie Bryant,
the negro woman, and claims that
his brother Robert saw Halves and
their aunt, Fannie Bryant, kill
Halves wife. Whether the pris.
oner is the brother wanted or the
other brother is not known. but ow>
ing to the AgeoHerald the case rests
no longer on circumstantial eviden~
ce. There was an eye witness and
it now remains with proper author
tiles to produce him.
During the excitement that attends
ed the Halves tragedy the Age
Herald conducted itsels in such a
manner as to merit general admir~
alton, and it is hardly probable that
the story it published yesterday was
sensational. If the story is true
as narrated, the Age Herald has
done much toward clearing up the
mystery which surrounds one of the
moot horrible tragedies ever record
ed in the annals of crime.

Bird Civil Engineering.

A New York paper speaks of a
couple of orioles that have built a
nest in a tree at Central Park. In
order that no animal able to climb
a tree might reach their nest. they
built at the extreme end of a light
branch. When the work was half
done they saw that the little house
was bending the branch so far to-
ward the earth that when full of
young ones it would be too near
the ground. They sat on the branch
studying their house for a time, and
then few off in search of a string.
They found some Irvine in the park,
and with it united the two elastic
boughs to a branch overhead, re-
Stunning their nest building after the
string had been firmly woven.-
There were brains in that engineers

The day after the national cleo

man who is described by the Ken
lucky Senator as the wittiest and
loneliest looking man he has ever
met-were together in the capitol
building when they were approach
ed by young Editor Hearst, who
excitedly showed them telegram
from his father, the California Sens
ator. The message ran in this
way:
Gas sure as there is God in
heaven Grover Cleveland has car
ried California"
At that time it was we'll known
| that New York state had been car
Z
ried by Harrison, and it made no
earthly difference what the voters
of California had determined their
verdict should be. Allen read the
telegram, and then banding it back
to the San Francisco editor, and
said to him solemnly:
Young man, your fathers words re-
mind us of an acquaintance of mine
who went out to Colorado and was
thrown from Il bronco pony and
killed, His companions sent this
Geographic message to his widow :
Jim has been thrown by a bron-
co and his neck, both legs and one

message;

The South Moves,

scribing the decay of the whaling
industry in such towns as New
Bedford, remarks that although
the old whaling vessels IRE rottlng
at their docks, the Wamsutta mills,
few blocks away, ale rafting
along with surprising liveliness'
showing that for what seems to be
lost, something IS won, or, rather
that something more modern and
profitable has taken its place.
The correspondent proceeds to
moralize somewhat over this condi"
ton of affairs, and concludes by
saying that in spite of the old es-
tablished property, the Wamsutta
mills, II find myself sleepng.9xe--,
ry night under blanket which
says on the margin Columbus

This seems to strike the corres-
pondent as something extremely
odd, and yet he does not comment
on it unpleasantly. To put south~
ern blankets on northern bead
steads is quite feat, all things cor
sidered, aud yet this is not the only
feat the south is performing OF late.
It is doing a great many things
that do not come to the ears Of the
public through the newspapers. 1t
is true that something has been
said in print about the way that
coarse southern goods are pushing
the eastern goods out Of the mark
cts, but nothing approac hing the
truth has been told. The infor>
nation the newspapers give
is merely hint-an inkling-of
the facts.
The truth is, the south is making
bigger strides in the way of indus
trial development than has ever
before been made by any section
on the face of the earth in the same
length of time; and it is now going
ahead with the intention Of beating
its owd record.
While the politicians have been
snarling and disputing, the south
has been at work, and all that New
England is losing day by day the
south is gaining and making the
most of. The gain in population
has not been conspicuously large,
perhaps, but the the population we
already have here has found abund
ance of work for its hands to do,
and it is doing it well and cheaply.

your eyes on Rome" THIS was
good advice. We widen it and

~ W Il Va IA 'SNtt's
No American poet has attracted
more attention, living or dead, than
Edger A. Poe, Nine lives of him
have been written, yet about no cele-
brated writer of modern times has
it been so difficult to get the real
facts of his life and death. Accord
ing to some of his biographies, he
mingled among men like a bewllder-
ed angel, while others described him
as a yiping ferd or an Ishmaelite,
with his hand against everyone and
everyones against him. The time
and place of his birth were for
many years uncertain; even now
sore OF his hingraphers still differ
as to that matter. The place of
his burial was at one time undecid-
ed, but that was definitely settled
in 1875, when his remains were dis
covered in Westminster Church
yard, Baltimore, and a monument
seven feet six inches high erected
over his grave. The cause of his
death and the circumstances attend
ing it have nor yet been definitely
determined, and everything that
throws any light on the subject will
prove interesting to his many adj
mirers.
A former Baltimorean, now liy-
sng in San Franel.co, gives what
he claims to be true account OF

There, said a neighbor, point
ing to a village carpenter, there is
a man who has done more good, l
really believe, in this community
than any other person who ever
lived in it. He cannot talk very
much in public, and he does not
try. He is not worth $4,000, and
it is very little he can put down on
subscription papers. But new
family never moves into the village
that he does not find it out and
give them a neighborly welcome
and offer them some service.

plants in winter mainly that they
may be able to send bouquets to
friends and invalids. He finds
time for pleasant word to every
child he meets, and you'll always
see them climbing into his one
horse wagon when he has no other
load. He has genius for helping
folks, and it does me good to meet
him in the streets.
