TEACHERS PAY VISITS.
To Watch the Work In Each Others
Classes.

Classes.
practice has been inaugurated among
the teachers of the public schools that
promises to become popular and at the
same time be productive of admirable re-
suits. This IS the payment of visits to
different classes. 1t has been tried several
times recently and was particularly sue
cessful this week when a visit was paid
the first grade of Henry street school by
all the teachers of that grade in the city
. While the regular teachers were absent
at the Henry street school their places
were filled by the assistants. 1t was found
that great deal of good could be gained
from watching the methods of one teacher
After time spent in observing the
work, the visiting teachers are all gotten
together in one of the rooms by the super
intendent, who closely questions them
upon what they have seen and heard
Supt. Ashmore hopes that all of the visits
of the teachers will be as productive of
good as he judges that to the first grade
of the Henry street school to have been.

THROWING ROCKS.
The Bad Practice Came Nigh Incit-
ing 81 Juvenile Riot.

Ing Juvenile Riot.
People in the neighborhood of Broughton
and Jefferson streets were somewhat
"shook up" last night between and 8
o'clock by the appearance on Broughton
boulevard of about hundred Caucasian
kids" intermixed with few black and
indifferent colors of the same species, all
brought about by young Scipio Africanus
indulging in the favorite pastlme of "trow-
in rock at de white bucllra."
The white kids gave chase and landed
their game in the cigar store at the cor
ner Of jefferson street, and he was yanked
by the collar back to the scene of his
transgression by one who seemed to be
the boss" and, after being given good
talking" was let with the admonition
not to throw rocks again.
The crowd of white kids did not relish
his easy release and followed the black
sheep up Broughton, but a star of the
ninth magnitude shed it's rays upon the
scene, and the GRANTEES thought they had
better be looking after their home sur
roundingS.

FELL FROM HIS BICYCLE.
Police Sergeant Davis Escape From
a Serious Accident.

A painful injury was sustained by Sar-
geant of Police r. e. Davis yesterday
in a bicycle accident at Bull and New
Houston streets, by which one of the
smaller bones of his left leg was fractured.
The officer was removed to the office Of
DR.. Sidney ]. Lanier on New Houston
street, where the broken leg was set.
Sergt. Davis lost control of the bicycle
it seems He was making the turn from
Bull street TO New Houston street. The
front wheel struck an obstacle and began
wabbling the jar of which caused the
officer to lose his grasp on the handle bar.
The release of the handle bar caused the
front wheel to turn abruptly, throwing
the officer to the ground in violent fall
The entire weight of his body fell upon the
left leg. The fracture ii is thought, was
caused by the jerk when the foot struck
on round rock or surface.
1t is not the opinion of the attending ply
sician that the injury is serious, and he
does not think it win be the means of
disabling the officer more than a week.

NEWSPAPERS IN VENEZUELA.
Matters of Interest Reported In the
Caracas Herald.

Matters of interest reported In the
Caracas Herald.
A copy of the Venezuelan Herald. pub
lished at Caracas, Venezuela, was received
yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Wheel
er, from their nephew, Hon. Francis B..
LOOMS, the recently appointed minister of
the United States to that country.
The Herald is only a single sheet, one
side being printed in English and the other
in Spanish, the news in each language be-
ing the same. Tho date is Oct. 8. The
leading article is an account of the recep-
ton of the new United States minister by
Vice President Gtizman, President
Crespo being prevented from receiving the
minister by reason of illness. The address
of Mr.. LOOMS and the reply of Vice Pres
ident Guzman are printed IN fun, both adj
dresses being brief and appropriate.
Mr.. Loomis is an Ohloan and personal
friend of President Mckinley, and is a
newspaper man by profession.
The paper also accounts for the sudden
visit of Gov. Pingree of Michigan to Ven
ezuela, which caused no small mystery in
this country about a month ago. The
Herald states that Gov. I'ingree's mission
to Venezuela was not a political one, but
that he came there to investigate and Sc
cure option upon several mines of asphalt
in that country. Under the division of
territory by the big asphalt companies.
Michigan it seems, has been allotted to
the Barber company, just as Savannah
and other cities in this section have been
allotted to the Warren-Scharf company
Gov. Pingree's idea, the Herald states. is
to break the hold of the Barber company
upon Michigan, and thus make 1t possible
to carry out plans of extensive asphalt
pavement in the cities of that state.
There is no mention of a revolution in
the paper.

PLUCKED OF HIS MONEY.

a Sailors Charge Against Two Nc
GuIre Street Women.
]. Bedford, a sailor, was relieved of $40
yesterday by Emma DeLoach and
Blanche Thornton, according to Benford 5
story TO the police. Emma is 30 years OF
age and Blanche has celebrated birth days
for the last thirty-two years. The women
live on Mcclure street, and the sailor said
he had navigated around in that direction
with the money in his pocket.
Detectives Barrett and Sculy placed the
women under arrest upon the complaint
of the sailor, but none of the money was
found in their possession. and it is thought
that there is very little evidence upon
which to predicate the charges. The wo-
men were held at the barracks. however,
and will be given hearing by the recorder
this morning.

The first arrests made under the new
ordinance of the city, making it a viola
ton for small boys to swing on or off
moving trains, was before the recorder
yesterday. Sam Ferebee and Prince Brown
were arrested for stealing rides on cars in
the Savannah, Florida and Western yards.
They were fined SO each. Brown succeeded
in paying his fine, but the Ferebee boy was
not so lucky and had to go to Jail

the companies are subjected to damage

been made, and it is thought by the au-
thorities that the restraining ordinance
will have the effect of stopping the prac-

This enterprise, so auSpiciouSly entered into by a lady possessing every requisite to success, with means at disposal to give to the cultured and refined citizens of the Magic City a school in every re- spect worthy of their patronage, will fill a needed want in our midst.
 The projectors of this institution do notsexpect nor desire to reap all .he bene- fits of bhis Institution, but like some of our wise. and asagacdous politicians, ad- vocate the principle of reciprocity, and, as every avenue of trade will be benefited more or lesss.by this enterprise, and no cheeks. given on which there will be a 20 per cent. discount, they hope to con- vince the good people of Birmingham that the seminary will prove to them a permanent blessing, and no short -Nvd idea, to vanish a. the first disaster
 Indeed, heard a gentleman of great business sagacfty remark a few days since that "a f1ourishing day and board- ing school would be worth as much to Birmingham as a furnace in full blast"
