In his manual on matchmaking in
Cuba General Roy Stone speaks highly
OF the guava tree or brush, which
grows in luxurious abundance through
out the island. He gives diagrams by
which this is to be cut and the boughs
bound upward, making a compact roll
about the size of small log. These
guaya bundles, known as fascines, are
laid lengthwise, one row of bundles lap
ping over another, like shingles. There
are successive layers of this, bound to-
gether, making serviceable roadway,
strong enough for troops and even for
field ordnance. While these bush roads
might seem insecure, they are, as a
matter of fact, more solid than an ordi-
nary corduroy road, the bundles of
bushes being crowded together with
crowbars until they lie with the solid
ity Of baled hay.

AS an illustration Of the way in which
the United States is cutting the ground
from beneath the feet of the English,
compare the difference in value of the
exports to South Africa during 1897 and
1898. During January in the earlier
year $4,000 would have covered the
value of the American cycles imported
into South Africa. In February the
total value Of cycles and cycle Access
sories imported amounted to over $685.
900. The same month in 1898 showed
an Increase to $755,0o0. Nor is this all,
for further statistics prove conclusive
" that the drop in English trade re-
turns is proportionally large.

COMMISSION BILL
 BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE
Was Introduced by Representative Van Husy of Jefferson
 County at Yesterday Is Session.

Now if the people directly, by their own votes at popular election elect the police commission, then they the people, are re- sponsible wholly and absolutely for their election. If they err in their selection then it is an error of the first and only source of power, to-wit, the people themselves. In view of all these facts, my own views Is the election of a police commission by the people,
 ''In regard to Greater Birmingham. This is indeed big question. My opinion is it would be to the best interest of the people now included, and those in the proposed territory to be included in Greater Birming- ham. But the rights of the people both in and out of the present city should not be disregarded.
 My own views upon the matter is that if an election is ordered those in the present limits and those in the territory to be added should vote separately, and majority of each should be necessary for the incor- poration in Greater Birmingham of the new territory. However, we should bear in mind that the principle of the right of eminent domain belongs to cities. to be ex- ercised, of course only under the authority of law and for the greatest good to the greatest number Therefore, there might be circumstances of such nature and charac- ter that this power should be exercised regardless of the popular will in the new territory. This should only be done un- der circumstances and conditions that are dangerous to the whole community and should be the last remedy. I hope the people will get together upon this really great matter for the best interests of all concerned" KERSH.

DISCUSSION WARM.
Alderman Pearce Believes the Bill Will
 Win.

Alderman Pearce believes the bill will pass the general assembly. He says that the masses of the people want the com- mission abolished, and the legislators are becoming impressed with this fact.
 "The people are lining up against the commission" he continued. With a pop uar vote in the city there would be no doubt as to the fate of the political ma chine. The people are against one-man rule, and they would vote overwhelmingly to put the control of the police department back into the hands of their representa- tives. It is perfectly natural that they should feel this way. Why shouldn't the men they elect and whom they trust with their welfare in other matters be trusted with this?
 What do think of MT Lesser's attack? It was not an attack. It was just bit ,of genial Mr. Lessers humor, which he corral led into comedy and placed on paper MT. McCartin may want to be mayor and he may want to be chief of police have not heard him say whether he intended running for either office. I suppose he, has a perfect right to make the race for either. He is an American citizen and a good dem- ocrat. MT. Lessers comedy is not without real tragic climax He bolts from the democratic party, practically renounces his utilization with that body and goes off after an independent, popust or some canu.uale for mayor whose name he does not mention More than this he tries to take his German American friends along with him, but I don't believe they will want to go.
 There are several privates on the Bir- mingham police force who are glad that the citys czar did not remain long in Mont gomery. They were glad to see his face back again. The gladness was from a mon- etary standpoint. I am told that when the cZar went to the legislature two years ago to tell them what to do the police force was assessed so much per head to pay his expenses. Of course, they thought the same programme would be adhered to this year, and the longer the czar stays in Montgom- cry the bigger the expense account Two men on the force said some hot things two years ago about being compelled to stand the expense for something they did not

1.-THE PLAYS


Two hours and half of solid fun; two hours and half of farce comedy abound dng In bright lines and comical situations; 7 a comedy so literally punctuated by laughs of the audience that it Is almost a mass of punctuation marks, and that's What Happened to Jones'" This farce comedy by George w. Broadhurst is said to be most pleasing surprise. When Jones ar- rives on the scene and the things commence happening to him, they happen so fast and in so many unexpected ways that ones side aches with laughter.
 There is a man with the uncommon cogno- men of Jones, just Jones'" as he says. He and the master of a certain residence, to- gether with young man affianced to the masters daughter, get into scrape owing to the fact that they went to a prize fight. The three of them escape the police and seek refuge in the house of Goodly. The latters brother, who is bishop, is expected from Australia, and suit of his new clothes has just come. In order to hide his identity, Jones, with the consent of Goodly and his prospective son-in-law, dons the garb and impersonates the bishop, taking all the liberties of a relative. Then the real bishop arrives on the scene, and some more things happen to Jones. Jones is MT. George c. Boniface, Jr., well-known in comedy parts. He has all the nerve and resource fulness of the American drummer and just Q little more. Cissy, the girl without any romance in her makeup who has been out to San Francisco. who knows thing or two, and does not object to real fun. is what the men most elegantly and express lively call brick" Cissy is girl as true as steel, but without any yellow-back novel sentiment, and that's the kind of girl that happens to fall to Jones' lot in the play.
 ''Jones" will be at oBrien's tomorrow night.

MANY years ago the people OF Silver
CITY were greatly Mortified because a
newly appointed judge OF this district
brought his niece" with him. Tue
judge was a republican, but the Silver
Citizens made such a CONJUNCTION over
the 'niece" that the judge retired
from the bench. Al this Is ancient
history, but is brought To mind by the
fact that there Is another "niece" In
Silver City, now. The good people Of
that town do not greatly admire hay-
ing ''nieces" in town but as the
"uncie" is a democrat a great many OF
the objectors are keeping quiet.
There are other and financial reasons
why some people should not make a
row over Sc innocent a thing as a
