FAMILY SHOES

Health Officer Woodward estimates that at least 600 cases are under treatment in the district today For the four days of this week eleven deaths from typhiod fe- yer were reported, and no doubt some deaths reported due to kindred con- plaints really are said to be from typhoid.
 For the first week ending September 27 there were twenty-one deaths New York city, with seven times the popula- ton of Washington, reported only seven teen typhoid deaths for the same period, and most of the cities of the size of Wash ington reported not more than two or three deaths, if any at all. The epidemic Is attributed to the low stage of the water in the Potomac river, which constitutes the city's supply, and the use of well water in families, The disease is as gen erally distributed in the best sections of the city as in the poorer quarters

A THOUSAND MEN D1sFRANcHIsED
Inmates of the Sailors Home Must Go Home
 to Vote.

New York, Oct 11.-Justice Gaynor sitting in Long Island City. filed a deci- sion yesterday which disfranchises, so far as the island is concerned, between 900 and 1000 men. The decision pradti- cally wipes an entire election district of the town of Castleton. The action in which the decision is rendered was brought by the attorneygeneral at the instance of Good Government clubsmen on Staten island.
 Thomas H. Meyers, an inmate of the Sailors Home, at Snug Harbor, was chosen as an election officer in Snug Harbor and the little adjoining territory which makes up the Ninth election dis trict of the town of Castleton. The ac- ton sought to oust Meyers from his po- stion as an inspector of elections in the Ninth district. Justice Gaynor found that the inmates of the home cannot vote there, as they still retain their old homes from which they originally came, and must vote from there. Both republican and democratic leaders when seen last night said they were glad the case had been decided as it had,

WARREN IS CHAMPION.
There Are Several Riders Here Faster I'll
 Lum or Parquette.

There Are several 6lOerS Here raster Than
 Lum or Parquette.
 Its all fake" said MT. Will Pickens, in speaking to State Herald reporter of the articles which appeared in the Mont gomery papers and specials which were sent out from that city in regard to tri-match race between Warren of this city, Lum of Montgomery and Parquette of Mobile. Its all fake, pure and simple. Neither Lum nor Parquette want to meet Warren again. Because Warren met with several accidents Lum won three state championships in Mont gomery on September 26-27. But the way Warren won five open races from these so-called champions was a caution. War ren also won six straight races from Lum in Meridian in August. Their scheme is simply to get free advertising in news papers, as they can't advertise them selves on the track. All have to say is that if Messrs. Lum and Parquette want to race with a Birmingham boy that we have several second-raters here who can hold their own with them, as Warren Is clearly out of their class, and still holds his title of champion of the Snf1th I"

 SugRestions and Adiol1rnaI

They Made Many Recommendations and
 Suggestions and Adjourned.
 Richmond, Va, Oct. 1.-The state good roads convention adjourned this after noon after adopting the report of the committee on good road improvements. This report says:
 We favor the adoption of a road by which state aid will be extended to the improvement of the main roads under equitable conditions, by which the coun- ties shall be allowed to issue bonds for the permanent improvement of the main roads under proper conditions and re- strictions; by which both state and coun- ty convicts will be employed in improy- ing the public roads; by which the road work will be placed under the control of boards of supervisors. or of special road boards of the respective counties and by which the actual supervision of the road work will be entrusted to county engineers, thus connecting the authority and responsibility and insuring intelli- gent supervision"
 e The report then recommends in detail a state tax of per cent on the $100 val uation of real and personal property for a state road fund; that similar amount be appropriated by the supervisors of each county for permanent road im- pavement; that a state highway com mission be appointed by the governor, and that the present laws in regard to graduates in engineering education at the state expense be amended so that such graduates may serve as county en- gineers for two years when employed by the board of supervisors instead of teach ing for two years
 Provision is also made as to the form of petition by land owners for road i'm provement assessment against property owners in proportion to benefits derived, etc., the amount to be paid out of the state fund.
 The president of the convention was authorized to appoint a committee to prepare bill in accordance with the sug- gestions in the report for presentation to the next general assembly,

In Texas and Arkansas, passed through
st. Louis today for Chicago and New

Jamos ]. Corbett in the latter city and
urge him to agree to a meeting with
Fitzsimmons near Juarez, Mexico. Stu
art says that he does not accuse Corbett

explain TO the world what he means by
his action.
