Oh, the summer rose is bobbing
On the airy winter hat,
And for warmth the cabby q jumping
With a will.
While the bulldog is hobnobbing
On the snowdrift with the cat
The toboggan's humping, humping,
Down the hill.
Oh, the winter wind is whining
Round the chimney with vim.
Der the ice Matilda's tripping
On her toes.
And with eyehalls shining, pining,
See yon little skater skim,
While the hide is rudely ripping
From his nose,

While the hide is rudely ripping from bio
Oh, the golden corn is popping
With an effervescent bang,
And the merry blazes ripple
On the rug,
And on fairy seas I'm Topping
Like b1ithe orang outang,
While dream about the tipple
In the jug:
There's Shanghai rooster nesting
On the spinal Of the cow,
And the crust the sparrow dirkles
On the jump,
And yon little urchin wrestling
With his romping bow.wow-wow
Sees the mtlkman as he circles
Round the pump.

Pile the logs upon the blazes.
Let them sizzle with q sizz,
While within the chair that's easy

Oh, float through fairy mazes,
Like the berry on the fizz,
When the summers breezy, greasy
Zephyr blows. |
Willie the wind Is weirdly whining
Through my music haunted dream,
Ring the sleighbells' ding a.linglets
On the street.
Oh, the apple jacks combining

And I'm happy from my ringlets
To my feet,

Opinion.

judges. 2: Greene. of the criminal
court, heartily favors a state reformatory
for yJtnhful criminals. In the past twelve
monthS--he has had at least dozen boys
under IL years Of age before him. These
youthful.criminae were confined in the
countg-1ail after sentence, at the expense
of the-eoanty. The only other alternative
was to Send them to the mines, where
they would be brought in contact with
hardened criminals. This the judge re-
fused to do. Crime is now looked on rs a
disease, and a boy predisposed to crime
should've separated from his kind just
as smallpox parent is isolated Judge
Greene, had before him last year negro
boy who was arrested time after time
for horse stealing 1t seemed impossible
for the boy to resist the temptation to
steal a. horse when he had the chance.
Judge Greene has some doubt as to Mount
Vernon being the proper spot for the re-
formatory, as 1t is too far from the center
of the state and the center of popula-
ton. The cost of transporting criminals
will be considerable. However, as the
state OWNS Mount Vernon this may Off
set the cost of transportation. But the
location is a. small matter-the thing is
to get the reformatory, and the sooner
the better.

+ Tuscaloosa, Jan. 19.-(Special Cores

made by Gov. Johnston in his first mes

university was not progressing in point of
attendance as it should, are in the city
and have gotten down to work.
The committees headquarters are at
the McLester, but they will hold meet
ings at the university during the MORN
ings. Every citizen of the state feels
an interest in the work of this commit
tee as 1t is generally recognized that the
university is not keeping pace with the
other schools of the state in point of at
tendance. Where the fault lies. is the
question, and this committee proposes, If
possible, to find it out.
The committee is composed of Hons.
John Y. Fitzpatrick, of Wilcox, and John
r. Rogers, of Sumter, on the part of the
! senate, and Hons. B. L. Hibbard, of
Monroe, Edward M. Robinson, Of Mobile.

= The committee held their first meet
ing in the parlors of the McLester Sat
urday night, and perfected organization
by electing Gel. Hubbard as chairman of
the Joint committee. Mr.. Offnere Hope
was elected clerk of the committee The
committee is allowed ten days to sit, and
1T is probable that most of this time will
be consumed.
Col. Hibbard was seen by Times man
after the meeting was adjourned and
made the following statement:
I'VE have decided to hold regular ses-
| sions every day from 10 to 2 o'clock
Our sessions will be held at the university

upon, and will not till we can see further

the service possible to the university.
| With. that. end in view. cordial in

| information as to the management of the
school. This invitation is general They
will find us at the McLester after the
morning session at the university"
Col. Hubbard and the entire committee
are good friends to the school ard il they
can render it aid it will be done A num-
Der of those who will go before the COM
mittee are going to suggest abolition OF
military, as there is a large drift of opin-
ion that in this lies the fault No citi-

Mobile. Jan. 12.-(Special Correspon-
nce.)-Willie Williams alias One
Eye" and Joseph Watson alias Charley
King, charged with completely in the
Hurns' robbery in New Orleans Thurs
day morning last, were arrested in this
city yesterday morning. The negroes ar
rived in the city about o'clock on a
freight train and their capture was ef-
fected within two hours by Detectives
Morris and McGovern on inforn;at ton re-
ceived by Chief Burke from Chief Caster,
notifying him to be on the lookout for the
negroes. The dispatch also stated that
the negroes had shipped to Mobile by ex-
press valise, thought to contain some
of the stolen articles. Up TO a late hour
last night the police had not secured the
valise. -
When taken to the police station the
negroes strenuously denied having been
connected with the robbery, but when
confronted with the despatch and New
orleans paper containing their photo
graphs and the particulars of the rob-
berry as told by their pal to the authori-
ties, they made q confession.
The house of Thomas Hurns. who Is
employed at the New Orleans race track,
was entered Thursday morning by Jo-
seph Watson and William Johnson, who
stole therefrom the following articles:
Goods to the amount of 1904 and $92 in
cash, an open face gold watch valued at
$3.50, pair of opera glasses, a dark tan
valise containing SIT, dozen white shirts,
several suits of underwear, ten pairs of
wooden socks, black sack coat, pair of
trousers, brown sack suit. a pair of tan
shoes, and S75 which was left by the VIC
tim in his vest pocket. Williams re-
manned outside the house as guard while
the house was ransacked. The three ne
groes walked a short distance together,
but Williams soon left them with the I'M
Outstanding that he would meet them at
a designated spot the following day,
when a division of the booty would be
made. Johnson and Watson proceeded
with their plumber down the street. Their
actions aroused the suspicion of Special
Officer John Blanc. who commanded
them to halt. The negroes advanced on
the officer, who pulled his pistol and fired
five shots at them as they were fleeing.
Ore of the bullets struck Johnson in the
calf of the right leg. but ne managed to
escape in the darkness. He was subse-
ouently arrested. however. and made a
confession duplicating Williams and
Wa tson.
Watson is Mobile negro and has been
in Jail upon several occasions. Williams
is said to hail from Philadelpha.
The New Orleans authorities are ex-
pscted to arrive today to take the prison.
ers back to that city for trial. Z
