They must put their ear to the spot whers it throbs strongest. The schools and col1 leges are keeping close in with the cities, The old idea that college must be located out in the backwoods to keep the boys front being contaminated by city life has bsen relegated to the rear never to return. The advantages of a city far outweigh it's evil influences. Educators and parents have awakened to the fact that boys are not primordial protoplasms to be influenced by every passing breath of evil, but strong, enduring human beings. with stiff verte- br@ in their backbones. and capable re- sisting the evil in life. This growing ten- dency to seek the centre will result in Birmingham's winning more schools aud colleges as she grows in population and power and becomes the first city in the land, and emphasizes the wisdom of those educators who have already caught the spirit of the age and opened the portals of learning in this magnetic city.

SOME uaeasiness is felt for the American missionaries in China. MT. J. Young Allen is in Shanghai and Miss Kemp of South Carolina is also there. Miss Hay good, sister of the bishop, is fortunately at home on a vacation. Bishop Galloway took passage for China several days ago. The Americans who are in the seaports will not be in danger, being under the pro- lection of the men -of-war, but those in the interior are liable at any time to be the victims of an outbreak among the natives. Before the war with Japan broke out sev- eral missionaries were killed. The Chinese have great hatred toward foreigners. Minister Denby has been largely instru- mental in protecting Americans. He came over about three weeks ago on the same steamship with Rev. Dr. j. c. Morris, but was ordered back by the government at once. He was appointed by Cleveland in 1884, was continued in office by Harrison and has been retained by Cleveland.

THE AGE HERALD is disposed to deal fairly with all good folks, especially when they assume the title " Democrat;' hence it gives space this morning to the communi. cation of "Democrat, who, in an effort to present an analysis of the late election in this State, gives vent to his previously or primarily conceived idea that Colonel Oates is not strong man. The facts and figures do not warrant the conclusion reached by "Democrat. As Governor Jones' campaign is brought into the dis cussion, comparisons, which are some- times odious are presented. A close ex- animation of the result will show that Oates received a larger majority of white votes than did Jones two years ago, and that Kolb was not able to hold the strength he held in 1892 against the candidacy of Colonel Oates. "Democrat" is fully aware Of the falling off of the negro vote on account of non registration in the Black Belt, and will observe too that the Democratic ticket of 1894 sustained heavier losses in these counties than in the white couates, except Jefferson, where conditions so easily explained consplred in favor of Kobism. For instance, Limestone county (wbite) gave Jones in 1892 81O votes, Kolb 2433. In 1894 it gave Oates 1e97, Koib 1454. Montgomery (black) gave Jones in 1892 7594 votes. Kolb l34O. In 1894 it gave o ates 4930, Kolb 280 votes. We might go on making compari- sons of figures, but this is enough. The truth of the matter is the Democratic ticket of 1894 polled the party's available strength under prevailing circumstances and totally annibiated Koibism under the leadership of Col. William c. Oates. Any other sound and pure Democrat might have done as we'll, but none better.

Mans True Character Shown by This
More Than by His Religion.
When man habitually speaks slight
ingly of any woman, or of women as a
class, he betrays S::gs5elf in attempting
to injure woman. It is related, says
the New York Advertiser, that at a
public dinner recently, at which no
women were present, man of this ilk
was called upon to respond to the toast:
ssWoman.'' He dwelt almost entirely
upon the weakness of the sex, claiming
that the best among them were little
better than the worst, the difference
being in their surroundings. At the
conclusion of his speech one of the
guests rose and said: ST trust that the
gentleman in, the application of his re-
marks referred to his own mother and
sisters and not to ours" This answer
turned his weapon against himself
with vengeance. A celebrated au-
thor says: 1.-THE criterion of a mans
character is not his creed, moral, in
tellectual or religious; it is the degree
of respect that he has for women" An
eminent clergyman pays this noble
tribute: 81 am more grateful to God
tor the sense that came to me through
my mother and sisters of the substan-
tial integrity, purity and nobility of
womanhood than for almost anything
else in the world" Such golden mem
ories color the book of life with the
beauty of God.

expressly continues the Hawaiian
treaty, which it is asserted gives the

July Is, 40 men of the Fourteenth bat
tallion left place called The Pilares Tor
Cruise de Piedra. and from there started
on the 9Oth for Rio Yaqui, near the out
post of Los Guasimas. They were
ambushed in a thickly-wooded part of
the road by party of about 100 indians,
who had divided themselves on each
side of the road. At the first fire, de-
liVered at pistol range, nine federals
dropped. Captain Gomez in command
rallied his men on the defensive, little
outside the ambush, when the Indians
attacked the troops furiously, but were
repulsed more than once. The fight
lasted more than an hour and a half,
the federals remaining in possession OF
the field. While some of the men were
fighting, the remainder got away with
the baggage, animals, and ammunition oi
the troops they could manage to carry
off. Twelve were killed, six wounded

Bruneau 0uIIotined. !.

Laval, France, Aug 3O.-The execn-
ton of Abbe Bruneau, formerly vicar of
the church of Entraigues, convicted of
the murder of Able Fricot, passed off
more quietly than the authorities antici-
pated. Fully 5000. O.people were present.
The Able Bruneau was awake when the
public prosecutor, the examining magis-
trate and other officials entered his cell
this morning in order to inform him his
last hour had arrived. Unaided the
condemned man donned his black trous-
ers, and then put on his shirt, stockings
and shoes. When dressed the able was
led to the chapel of the prison; where
representatives of the press were already
seated. In passing the holy water font,
the abbe dipped his fingers, knelt and
crossed himself fervently. He was then
led to the altar, where he prayed few
moments, and afterwards with the
prison chaplain retired to a corner,
where the latter heard the prisoners
last confession, after which mass was
celebrated, Bruneau following the
prayers with great devotion. After
breakfast the prisoner again communed
with the prison chaplain, and asked
that the clergy might pardon him for
breaking his vows of chastity. He then
informed the attendants he was ready,
and showed great coolness until he ar
rived at the foot of the scaffold, where
his fortitude seemed to desert him. Up
on the guillotine platform, Bruneau
kissed the crucifix held up before him
by the chaplain, and murmured short
prayer with his eyes turned toward the
sky, and then at signal from Diebler
he was overturned upon the bascule,
and thrust rapidly forward, and about
5 :05 the knife fell, and the priests head
dropped into the basket. The death of
the priest was the signal for loud cries
of Bravo from the crowds.
Able Bruneau was found guilty of the
murder of Abbe Fricot, cure at Entraig
yes, by stunning him and throwing hin
into well, pitching blocks of wood up
on him as he struggled for life, anC
finally striking him with long pole un
til dead. He was also shown to have
committed robberies. spent much money
in fast living, and was also indicted fol
the murder of widow named BouIdais
herist, found stabbed to death and he

the stolen money was traced to the pos
session of the abbe.

stole the M,nister,s oloths..

Sioux CRY, Ia, Aug. 30.-While the
Rev. s. G. Jones, of the Methodist church
at Salix, was baptizing some converts in
the Missouri river last Sunday, his
clothing was stolen by hoodlums. He
had doffed his clothing and donned his
robes in the woods near the river, and
when the baptism was over his position
was embarrassing. While attending a
Sunday school convention here yester-
day, Mr Jones was arrested on charge
of lewdness. The warrant was sworn
out by a saloon-keeper, who alleged
that the minister had disrobed in plain
view of his entire congregation. Mr..
Jones has been active in prosecuting
saloon-keepers, and his church will help
him make the fight more fierce.
