ALABAMA'S MINERALS
To Be FttingIy Displayed at Atlanta-Hon G. W. West of This City Will Have
 Charge of the Exhibit.

It is safe to predict that Alabamas s mineral wealth will be fittingly displayed before the many thousands who will at tend the Cotton States and International exposition at Atlanta. The assertion will be readily borne out by the many who know him when it is announced that Hon. G. W. West of this city has been asked and has consented to take hold of and properly arrange a display of the many mineral resources of the state
 MT West was honored by the manage ment of the Chicago Worlds fair, and Alabama has conferred like honor upon him. one, perhaps, which he will the more appreciate because of it's being for the benefit of the state of his adoption. MT West is chased among the leading mineralogists of the south and his repu- tation is not confined to the narrow linn it's of our city, but is known far and wide
 There is much for Alabama to show in the way of minerals, and in MT. Vests hands will be exhibited befittingly AL ready has he decided that there will not be sufficient space in the state building and has informed the board of managers that it will be necessary to have payil- ions adjacent to the building in which to present for inspection the bulllier ar- ticles which he will have on hand.
 The coal and ore exhibits MT. West in tends to make especially interesting, and will, besides showing the different quail ities of these mlnerals, have arranged devices by which the height of each vein wial be shown This will be novelty in exhibiting minerals, and will give in- struction without necessary questions.
 It was learned that MT West will call upon all the manufacturing enterprises in the state for samples of their work for his exhibit. and when the request is made it is needless to say a response favorable to his request will be received

BooTBLAoKs IN BROOKLYN CARS.
If They Were Only on New York Trains
 TheV,d Have Moneu tn Hat


 Bootblacks have been introduced as an experiment on the Broadway line of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad, says the New York World. There is one in every smoking car ready to ''shine 'em up" for nickle at any time of the day or night. They clean the cars and work on a commission. They are not directly hired by the company. The privilege was leased to a man, who hires the boys. If the experiment proves successful the boys will be put in the smoking cars of all the elevated roads in Brooklyn
 One of the boys was asked how he was doing.
 Bully, boss,' he said. flor Brooklyn. But, hully gee, if we only had dis snap in New York we would have money to eat Why, 1t knock de spots out of workin on ferries. But desc blokes in Brooklyn would just as soon go widout a shine and save de nickel to buy dere dinner half de time. Still, de job pays, and wot's de use O kickin'?

HE SLIPPED AND FELL
And inc Remorseless Wheels Did Their Work. ACoIored Man Killed by a
 Dummy

Felix Bolds, a negro about 25 years old, a striker in the blacksmith shop of the Georgia Pacific railroad shops, was yes- terday. shortly after D. m.. run over and killed on the corner of First ave nue and Twentieth street by Highland Avenue dummy, which was taking a ne- gro excursion to Green Olive springs.
 The train was in charge of Conductors Brown and English with Engineer Flu qua at the throttle, and was going at a very moderate rate of speed
 The train was loaded with a large crowd of negroes, who had special cars to take them to their excursion grounds at Green Olive springs. When Felix at tempted to board the rear platform of the second hindmost car he missed his hold and fell between the two platforms, and before he could regain his hold he was drawn under by the wheels of the rear coach and badly mutilated.
 His body was drawn diagonally across the track and was crushed in places into pulp, both sets of wheels of the rear coach passing over him.
 crowd immediately gathered and an examination was made, and 1t was found that life was not extinct. Mayor Van Hoose and Officers Goggan and Wilson tried to keep the throng at distance to give the injured man some air, and at times they were compelled to use force to partially disperse the throng.
 The police patrol was telephoned for and soon arrived and the injured man was placed in and driven to the city prison, where Dr. Gibson was, telephoned for and promptly responded, but without avaiLthe injured man dying at S:30 o'clock
 Messrs. Warner & Smley's dead wagon was sent for and the body was taken to his home on First alley between Twen- ty-ffth and Twenty-sixth streets, from where he will be buried this morning.
 There was no inquest held, as the ac- cident was entirely due to his own care 1essness, and no fault can possibly be placed on the railroad company, as they did not even know of it's occurrence un- til told of the fact on their return trip.
 The negro was wel-known and we'll behaved man, and is related to nearly all the best known negro families in this city, who will attend his funeral in a body.

Success of the Electric Locomotive.

Baltimore American.
 "Wir it pull?" is question that has been frequently asked while the big cleo trlc locomotive for the Belt railroad was untried Yesterday an informal test or this 100-ton machine was made There IS no uncertainty about it now. It pulls. Wednesday night the large electric gen. orators in the power station were start ed, and the electric current was thrown upon the overhead lines in the tunnel. Then electric locomotive No. l, flrst or the Baltimore and Ohio, and first of the world as well, was pushed from it's posi- tion or a sidetrack. The signal was given that everything was in readiness. A little sputter was seen in the overhead conductor. and the electric locomotive, with apparently no effort. started on it's way through the tunnel with a steam To- comotive in tow. While the electric loco ri1etve was waiting at the Bolton lot open cut for train orders. consternation was created in the large crowd which had gathered there by the blast from the whistle which the electric locomotive car ries, Believing bull-frogs, croaking fog horns and shrieking steam whistles wDud have to form a syndicate to beat the toot from electric locomotive No. l. Itsis as loud as the whistle of an Atlantic liner. The mightiness of this voice is explained by the fact that there are car ried on the locomotive great reservoirs of compressed air, which is used for the operation of the train air brakes. The air is compressed by pump driven by an electric motor. In one end of the cab which is large and roomy, is the con- troller, which is operated by a wheel very similar to a steersmans wheel on a steamboat. There are also electrical in dicating instruments and an air-gauge in the cab. Each of the four motors Is connected with one of the four axles of the locomotive, which are all drivers A speed of twenty miles an hour was made in the trials, and it is the intention to get all the bearing surfaces in proper condition before any burst of speed will be attempted. The first notches only of the controller were used. so that there was plenty reserve power not applied in the trials.

the inner door were tilted to an angle of 45 degrees to inhale the, to them, unusual, but most pleasant odor.
 With voracious haste they ate. the greens. meat and corn bread, and then waited eagerly for the tid-bit which was to tickle and delight their palates. War den Donovan divided the five gallons of cream among the siXty-five cups, and as each man drew his icy prize he would take the cream with his finger and, placing it in his mouth, shut his eyes and give himself up to epicurean visions. The last drop gone, the cup licked out with the tongue, motion was made and immediately carried that "the prisoners confined in the city prison tender their most heartfelt thanks to Mayor Van Hoose for his kindness in giving them this treat and to Warden Donovan for so graciously and equtably dispensing the same"

A TREAT, IN TRUTH.
Five Gallons of Ice Cream Dispensed to the h.
 mates of the City Prison.

The aroma of the vanilla bean per meated the air at the city prison yester- day at about o'clock D. m.
 The strange aroma was caused by the unloading of five gallons of finely favored vanilla ice cream, which Mayor VanHoose ordered to be distributed to the prisoners in commemoratin of the day of independence and was an unusual treat to the stomachs which have been fed with corn bread, fat bacon, greens and beans.
 Every mans tin coffee cup was handed out and it was half filled with the frozen cream, and the sixty-fve nostrils within

, Brandy Drives Out Wine.

Washington, July 4.-Consul Chan cellor at Havre, France, states that the laws of France. which permit farmers to distill brandy for their own use free of tax, are having the effect of closing the large dlstilleries and forcing out of use the light wines which were formerly so popular in France, winch are now supple mented with poisoned alcohol beverages Since the advent of "crooked brandy" the progress of alcoholism in France has been very rapid.

The people of this section OF Oregon,
may Expect to hear some very import
ant railroad news in the next few
months.
There is no question that the G. B.
& @. road will be extended TO the coast
as soon as practicable, but the exact
route has been matter undecided for
some time past.
The main line of this road Is now
extended to a point in the central part
of Northern Montana, and from there
the grade Is completed across the state
and along the south side of Yellow
stone Park to the Idaho line.
Although the company is one of the
best, financially in the country yet 1t
so felt the fleets of the tines that
active operation on h extensi was
temporarily suspended, but it seems
now that operations re to be renewed.
A gentleman who is in position to
know, but who does not desire his
name made known at this time in
forms the Republican that this COM
pany is prepared Ia tXpend 100000
during the next two years in Idaho
aud Oregon in the extension Of this
road.
Preliminary surveys have been made
of all the available routes during the
past two years Dy engineers travelling
in coguito. They were through here
last summer and represented them
selves "a being prospectors which
strictly speaking they were but not IN
the usual accep!ation of the term.
Two routes have been thoroughly and
carefully studied by the company one
passing through the southern part Of
Oregon aud The other through the
northeastern part with the preference
In favor OF the latter.
We are Informed that all the survey.
ing has been done and the road located
as far as Snake river near the mouth OF
Powder river. From there II will be
extended TO Grande ItOnde valley
either by the Catherine creek route or
down the east side OF Pyles canyon and
from Union it will probably proceed
northward and westward on the Hunt
survey.

STATE REFORM SCHOOL.
An Institution ST Which Oregon
Is Proud.
OVER ONE HUNDRED INMATES,
The Best Provisions fer Our
Etrihg Youth.

The Oregon Slate Reform school Is
located about five miles south of Salem
on the through line of the Southern
Pacific railroad. The main building
is one Of the finest belonging 10 the
state, aud it ID said to be Que OF the
handsomest and beat reform school ad-
ministratlon buildings in the whole
country. 1t is brick structure with
four stories and basement. There Il
also combiued Industrial building
and tank tower. This was erected dur
Ing the past seAsnn. and 1t is not yet
finished. The north and south wings
of the main building have also just
been completed and occupied. Some
2, 200, 900 brick were used In this new
work during the past year and the
latter portion of 1898. In connection
with the construction of the new wings
a hot water heating plant was pu In
for the main building. Thi' is said TO
be the largest sing'e plant of the lind
on the coast, and it is Z, cry succe sful
in every way, especially In the impor-
tant item Of economy Uf fue'.
There is COO acres uf land in connec-
tipn with the tchool. This will, even
tually, wiki the proper care, be mag
nificient farm. All the fresh vegeta-
bles, milk, eggs, pork, and hay and
grain for the use of he school are pro-
duced on the farm. The wood Is all
cut from the land by the boys, and
they also do all the hauling, farm
labor, and every other klud Of work re
quired about the growing institution.
They make all their own clothes, even
to their shoes and caps, excepting their
socks, and the management hopes
soon to have them manufacture these.
They do their cooking and house work.
Systematic work Is one of the founda-
ton stones OF the reformatory effort
here. All day the boys 10 the institu-
lion work half of each day aud attend
school the other half. The schools are
graded and conducted Just like regu-
lar public schools of the state.
There are sixteen officers attached 10
the institution. and the daily numbe

I'm Santa Clara county, California,
there are, as shown by the assessment

or less. There are about as many more
of from ten to forty acres. Upon Zach
of these farms there are employed more
men than are today employe by the

"Thc fruits grown there which are
considered the most profitable are the
pune and the cherry. The cherries
of this valley are, as you know, second
