When the Legislature empowered the
sheriff to appoint as many deputies as
he saw fit to enforce the liquor law, it
undoubtedly intended to throw the bur-
den OF the enforcement of that law upon
that officer. If now that burden is to be
placed upon the Mayors shoulders, and
he is to DE held responsible for its en-
forcement, he ought to have the power
TO appoint men specially fitted for that
work, and who will not have other du-
ties that will demand large portion of
their time. AS Mayor Baxter says:
Eleven policemen cannot patrol this city
as It ought to be patrolled, and at the
same time give the attention to the
liquor traffic which is necessary for it's
complete suppression. If the burden of
completely suppressing the liquor traffic
is to be placed entirely upon the Mayor,
his request for power to appoint special
OH GERS for that purpose is reasonable.

FIRE ISLANDS BIG LIGHT.
The Most Powerful Beacon in the World
win Soon Direct Ships to New York
Harbor.
In. Y. Heraldl


Ocean racers speeding toward this port
at night will soon be guided into haver
by the most powerful light in the world
The United States Lighthouse Board is
rapidly perfecting arrangements to re-
place the present beacon on Fire Island
with the famous LIE Paute lens which
was exhibited at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago
Development in ocean travel has neces-
STATED improved methods for the protec-
ton of craft when nearing shore. The
old Oil lamps, which in by gone times
served the purpose of guiding creeping
sailing craft, are altogether inadequate
IN these days of transcontinental flyers,
which rush shoreward at a speed of
twenty miles an hour. They need
beacons which can be seen lar out at sea
and readily distinguished.
The United States has been quick to
adopt the most improved devices in this
direction. and by the purchase of til e
Le Paute lens last fall for $4,000 came
into possession of light which has no
equal in the world.
AS 10000 ships pass Fire Island annu-
ally, it has been decided to erect the new
light at this, the most important station
in the country.
Experiments are being made with the
new lens at the Tompkinsville SD
lighthouse station under the personal
supervision of Capt. S. Schley, U. S.
N, lighthouse inspector, who glows
With enthusiasm in describing the won
ders to be accomplished by the huge
lantern.

plank OF the Democratic platform. 1t
was put In the platform by the represen-
tatlves OF the party after full deli bera-
tlon and by a large majority. Yet the
herald says substantially that anybody
who represented to the people that the
party meant lit was either 4 fool or a
KnaVe. ccording to the Herald the
declaration of the convention that pro-
tectlon was robbery and violation of
the constitution did to imply that the
party proposed to abolish protection;
the declaration that tariff should be
lad for revenue only did not imply that
that was to be the policy of the party in
legislation, and anybody that drew these
differences from them was very stupid

BIG FIRE IN BIRMINGHAM
The Flames Still Spreading
at Noon.
SEVERAL LIVES ARE LOST
Guests Escape from the Caldwell
House in Night Clothes.

The Fire Had Its Origin in the Stores of
the Steamer Furnace Company-Spread-
ing Rapidly 1t Soon Gets Beyond the
Control of the Local Fire Department.
Aid Asked from Montgomery.
Special Telegram to THE GLOBE.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 21.-Fire
started shortly after midnight in the
stores of the Steamer Furnace COM
pany and spread rapidly to adjoining
buildings. 1t was soon beyond the con-
troll of the tiremen and their efforts were
fruitless.
The flames leaped across the street to
the Caldwell house, hotel opposite, and
before a stream could be thrown on the
building the hotel was in flames Many
of the guests had barely time enough to
escape with their lives They fled from
the burning building in their night
clothes Nearly all the guests of the
hotel lost their personal property. Lit
tie of the furniture or contents of the
Caldwell house were saved
Though it is known that most of the
guests escaped it is believed that several
lives were lost in the hotel The district
is yet raging furnace and the fire is not
under control.
Aid has been asked from Montgomery,
and it is probable that all the force of
the fire department of that city that can
be spared will be sent here at once by
special train.
The fire is spreading in all directions
and there is no telling how much will be
burned 1t is already one of the largest
fires Birmingham has ever seen.
The loss up to noon is estimated at
5000, 900.
