HAS ENTERED VIGOROUSLY UPON THE
 WORK BEFORE HIM.
 Mayor Van Hoose has entered upon the discharge of his official duties with an ap- parent determination to give the people a prompt and vigorous administration. He can be found at his office in the city hall from 8:30 g. m. to 80 p. m. each day; and the first two days have been occupied in giving directions to the several heads of de- partments, hearing complaints and listen- ing to the appeals of clever constituents who are willing to serve the city in almost any or all of the pay offices. The AGE HERALD paid the mayor a visit yesterday and found him with his sleeves rolled up, and with willing hands, moving along as though he understood fully the magnitude of the work before him. He has ordered the street sweeping force to resume work !, and declares his purpose to have clean streets. He has ordered the distribution of about twenty cars Of gravel, and is deter mined to have the holes in the streets filled. He is especially interested in an improvement of the sanitary condition of the city, and requested the AGE-HERALD to urge the people to clean their premises, as il is his purpose to have the sanitary and police forces make thorough examination and to arrest offenders against the health laws.

TO ROB A sAFE-CoNDUoToR ON THE BIG
 FOUR IN A PLIGHT.
 CLEVELAND, O.. Dec. 7.-An unsuccess- ful attempt was made early this morning to blow open the safe in the office. of the Cleveland Stock Yards company.
 Soon after o'clock four masked men entered the office. A Big Four train pulled in and William Hitler, the conductor, rushed into the presence of ! the robbers. They pointed revolvers at his head and ordered him to throw up his hands, which he did with alacrity. Hitler entered the office to leave some papers. He was ordered not to put his hands down, and one of the robbers held a revolver at his head, while the other three drilled hole in the safe and inserted dyna- mite. There was an explosion, but only the combination was blown off, the safe doors remaining intact.
 Three of the employees of the yard, hear ing the report, ran to the office, but they arrived after the robbers had escaped !, leaving Hitler with his hands in the air. He took them down when he was fully as- sured that the robbers were gone. No money was obtained.

HEBREW CONVENTION.
Closing Session in New Orleans Wit nesses Warm Discussion and
 Some Acrimonious Talk.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 7.-The closing ses- sion of the convention of Hebrew organi- cations met today in the grand saloon of the Hotel Royal. Chairman Dinkelspiel rapped the meeting to order at 10 o'clock. Rev. Dr. L. Meyer of Dayton, O., opened the meeting with prayer. The secretary read the minutes of the evening session on Wednesday. MT. Frieburg of Cincinnati rose to point of order or rather for the purpose of making au- ex- plantation. Mir. Frieburg was anxious to remove any false impressions, and desired that his remarks anent the authorities of the Hebrew college be stricken out of the min utes. The speaker made pleasant speech and the remarks were received in the proper spirit.
 Dr. Phillipson moved the appointment of pu blication mmittee and maintained that there was much in the proceedings in the council that should never be allowed to see the light Of day. This brought on rather acriminous discussion, which lasted for some time but the motion of Dr. Phillipson was carried.

 THE Woman's Christian Temperance Union, in session in this city, resolved that newspapers should suppress the pubIica- tion of murders and suicides. This was a good resolution. Some newspapers are but little more than criminal court records. A newspaper is primarily vehicle of informa- tion, not a police gazette. Now, the good ladies should have gone a step further and resolved that Sarah Grand should elimi- nate from her novels all that is objection able. It is a fact that Sarah Grand writes what no reputable newspaper would dare publish No doubt the good ladies would have more influence with Sarah Grand, as she is one of their own sex, than with the editors of newspapers. The novelists of today are breaking their necks trying to outdo each other in the school of "natur- alism.p They proclaim this "gospel of dirt' with boldness that puts the news- papers to the blush They exile imagina- ton and write only the real. They nose about in the deepest dungeons of moral fl tn ard gloat over all that is uncanny, horrible and oiabolical. These authors do incalculable harm, for while they pretend to portray life as it is they really portray only the bad and leave cut the good. This gives the reader a false view of lie and leads to untold harm. The world is not altogether bad, nor is the wicked hero of these novels the true type of man. Now, the strange thing about these naturalistic novels is that many of them are written by women. Here is truly most inviting field for missionary work by the good women of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

SELMA SETTINGS.
A Young Man Gets in Trouble for Stealing Money From His Sisters. Col. w. w. Quarles Pain
 fully Injured.
AGE HERALD BCREAU,o
 SELMA, Dec. 2, [

SELMA, LtCs J Johnson vanderslice, young white man, came to the city Thursday and de- posted $50 with a well-known dry goods house. A man from the neighborhood in which Vanderslice lives saw him make the deposit ,and knowing that the young mans sisters had lost S1S0 from their trunks the day previous hesuspicioned that the money belonged 10 them and sent them word to come to tbe city. A gentleman living in the city heard of the sisters losses and had the young man watched. It was ascer- tained that he had the money and he was arrested and locked up.
 His sisters reached the city this morn- ing, and after considerable parleying he agreed to give them an order for the Sl50, and they agreed not to prosecute him. He was turned loose and went away from the council chamber threatening to paint the town red before night. This is the third time he has appropriated funds belonging to his relations, and it is unfortunate that they permitted him to escape punishment.
 PAINFUL INJURY.
 Col. W. w. Quarles happened to quite serious accident Thursday evening. AS he was going home from his office he stum- bled over bundle of hay forks in front of a hardware store on Water street and one of the prongs was run into his foot. He managed to reach home with very little difficulty and at first thought the wound trivial one, but after sitting in his room little while it began to pain him, and on getting up to walk across the room he tainted and fell to the floor. A doctor was quickly summoned, but he regained con. sciousness before the doctor's arrival.
 The servants became greatly excited and started the report that he was dead, and the report spread like Yildfre. He is much better today, and will be out by Monday, so the doctor says.

THE CONNECTS.


 The AGE HERALD was the first paper in the State to suggest working the convicts on the University coal lands, and so far as we have heard there has been no valid ob- jection urged to the plan. It is indorsed by the Governor and by other leading men familiar with the subject. The State is not now in financial shape to pay out of the treasury any money for the support of the convlcts, and ii it was able it would not be just to tax payers to take their hard earned money that they pay in for taxes and use it. for the support of. criminals. Senator Miner advocates using the con- victs in building the Mobile and West Ala bama railroad. This plan of working con- vic.s has been tried by other States and with some degree of success. The same objection may be urged to Senator Miner s plan that is urged against keeping them in the penitentiary, namely, that the State just now is not able to undertake it. In building a railroad the outlay is very great, and the returns do not come in for several years It has bec found that working convicts in the mines is most profitable to the State, and is also desirable on account of the ease and econ- omy with which they can be guarded. The opJeSbiOH bAouBHt aSaiuSO NOhhiu thSlh III the mines is that they are brought in con- fiict with one class of free labor, aud-th at they are menace to the community. By working them in mines so far removed from centers oipopulation as the coal fields of the Warrior river, and by working them op State account, these objections are met. If the State opens mines on the War rior river the railroads will build to it, ia xri ri addifiopal to labor. The government is now opening
