ton Post a ranchman from Sa-
bine, Texas, was greatly sur
prised to see a Chinaman rid
ding a wheel on one Of the
avenues of the Capital City and
the picture was so ludicrous
that he burst into Uproarous
laughter.
Jast why il should prove any
more surprising or hilariousIy
funny to see a bicycle ridden
by a Chinaman than il he were
Frencbman or an Englishman,
unless it might be because Of
his peculiar oriental costume,
Is not stated, nor is it even men,
toned that there was anything
peculiar about the Chinaman's
appearance, except that he was
on a wheel.
There is, however, something
very peculiar about the state
ment of the Sabine ranchman
in connection With the incident
aud the impression il made up
on his mind. The visitor from
Sabine is quoted as saying: IF
a cowpGncher down in my sec
ton were to see a Chinaman
astraddle one of those new
tangled arrangements that are
simply paralyzlng the horse in
dustry, it would be a bad day
for the Mongolian. The boys
are not very fond of the wheel
down there at best, and the
combination of Chinaman aud
wheel would be entirely too
mech for them. to stand. There
would be 8 shooting bee on the
spot.'

PUERlLE AND BASELESS.
That Is What Prof. Cunningham Says of Mir,
 Perkins Statement.

Concerning the question of the alleged Perkins, J. B. Cunningham, the principal of Paul Hayne school, said to an Age Herald reporter yesterday:
 "In The Age-Herald the public was informed that ths united efforts of the White Shield, MT. Perkins and the threatened mandamus had resulted in the reinstatement of Mr. Perkins son to his class in the Paul Hayne school.
 MT. Perkins evident sollcitude for truth has caused him to make, from time to time, references to statements and acts by me. In capacity of principal. The school has adhered strictly to it's rules, before and after the numerous interviews of MT. Perkins.
 According to the school regulations of the city of Birmingham no teacher has the power to suspend a pupil from school This duty is assigned to princi- pals solely When the principal sus- pends a pupil, suspension notice ad- dressed to the parent or guardian must accompany the pupil. When such mo- tice is given, no officer of the school sys- tenn, except the superintendent. has authority to reinstate the pupil.
 Accordingly, MT. Perkins son was not suspended, but merely sent home for information relative to his fathers willingness or unwilllngness to comply with the regulation. This action is not novelty, for when pupil is tardy or returns after a days absence without a reasonable, written excuse signed by the parent or guardian, he or she is sent home for the proper excuse. This course is made mandatory upon the teacher by express regulation.
 'It is evident from MT. Perkins own published statement that his grievance is an imaginary one. His child was never prohibited the privileges of the school, and his gratuitous information that the fear of mandamus influenced his sons return to school, is as puerile as 1t is baseless. MT. Perkins having given this notification publicly, that he refused to give privately, his willing ness to pay the tuition fee at the end of the month, the school had no further opposition to offer against the boys en- tering upon his duties."

WALKS AND TALKS.

There are all kinds of people in this world If such were not the case life in this world would be uncomfortable. The systematic people need the Bohemians to enliven their existence, and the Bohemi- ans continue to live because they se. the contentment of the others and hope some day to attain it. The gaiety of nations and individuals is not created by the ordinary.
 Some people in this city have funny signs One that noticed is that of a pawnbrol1ing esta blishment. The pawn broker, who conducts a legahzed and therefore a respectable business has placed an apostrophe between ths "L" and the 70" on his "loan office" sign, making the first word read "roan." A Frenchman yesterday stood and survey ed the sign; then said: "E ave my watch. e lave my parapline, but 'e 'as no right to ze apostrophe; zat belongs to ze Francois"
 By the way, why is it that intelligent citizens will stultify their intelligence by keeping misspelt signs outside of their places of business. There are so many such in Birmingham that 1t would be fmpraoticable for me to mention all of them, and -invidious to particularize.

BUTTER MAKERS IN SESSION.
The Fight On Butterine Was Again Renewed

The fight between pure butter and butterine was revived yesterday at the meeting of Dhe Dairy and Live Stock as- sociatlon of Jefferson county, held in the Fox building on Nineteenth street.
 About forty members we're present. The following new members were elect ed: J. Hawkins, l.. T. Cobbs, William Wilson, J. B. McCarver, J. w. Tate, E. S. Gossett. J. c. Williams, s. L. Brsws- ter, Thomas Smith, E. Bartins T. J. Carver, J. F. Leonard.
 1T. c. White, editor of the Southern Agriculturist, made speech upon the necessity of organization, and was fol- lowed by A. J. Dickinson, manager of the Pulaski, Tenn, Creamery company, who said that all dairymen should com bine to crush out the practice of selling coloFed fat as butter.
 The speeches over, it was proposed to make the initiation fee $2.5O instead of 10c, but the buttermakers voted that down.
 The report of Treasurer P. H. Andos showed that the buttermakers have ST s5 in their treasury.

THE MAS0NS ACT.
Committee Appointed to Look After Destitute
 Children.

The secret organizations of thls city are taking steps to see that no member of their order will be forced to appeal to the board of education nor to keep their children from school from pride because of their inability to pay the tuition fees in the public schools.
 The following plan was adopted by the Masonic organization and has been endorsed by almost every branch of the orderi
 The lodges will establish a fund by taxing each member 10 cents a month. Out of this fund they will pay the tut ton of all children of Masons whose parents are not fully able to do so, and they will pay the fees of children of widows in cases where the latter can not meet the bills.
 The plan was originated by the Scot tish Rite Masons, and has been adopted by Birmingham Fra ternal, King Solo mon and Miles J. Green lodges.
 All Masons are requested to constitute themselves committee of one and to promptly report to the relief committee or the master of any, lodge any case where these conditions exist.
 The matter will be brought before Bir- mingham Lodge No. S5, Knights of Py- thias, at their meeting tonight.
