Our weekly runaway was not so mo-
notonouS as usual this week. Mr.
Gerber's team, fine large span of
horses. started from Sigler's carpen-
ter shop and came west to Main street
and started down at fearful gait,
making straight for Poffenberger's
barber shop Mr.. Sellers headed them
off and they crashed into Alex Sellers
mule team, causing them to break
loose and both teams went on down
towards the depot Right at the
crossing the. horse team caught the
hind end of the Sellers wagon, and
then nothing was visible for few Sec
onds except mule ears, tails, and an
occasional wagon wheel in the cloud
of DUST The big team crossed the
railroad and damned into some build
ings down at the lumber yard where
Mr. Dieboid caught them The cause
of all the mischief was the unmanner-
ly expressions of disgust at their sit
nation given by two small pigs in Mr.
Gerber's wagon.

And" remarked Jones, in response
to the story that Smith was telling.
you say that you and Brown couwe6
the same lady for ten years."
Exactly. That is to say. it may
have been a month or six weeks shr
of that, but, to all intents and Dur.
poses, it was ten years.

ooh, Brown, of course. If you knew

You are to be pitied, really you are,

brushed an insipient tear from his

lady?"
He didn't marry her" said Smith
with emphasis.
Didn't marry her?" exclaimed Jones,
why didn't you say that he vas

"Of course I did. l was the man VITA

Wants a Donation

Rev. R. H. Kellar, the city missionary for the Alabama Colored Orphans and old Folks home at Avondals, is trying to get up a large Thanksgiving donation for that institution this week. He says that any thing in the way of money, old clothing. food, furniture, bed clothes, or in fact, anything that would be serviceable in the home, would be greatly appreciated both by the inmates and by the managers of the institution. Donations may be left at the Penny Savings bank, in Twentieth street between Third and Fourth avenues. or if notice is left at the bank. a committee will be sent to the house to get the donation. Many of the white people of the city en- dorse this charitable institution as being a worthy one. and give 1t their support It has been established just about a year.

POLICE COMMISSION BILL
 BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE
Continued From Fifth Page.)
DAVID J. FOX.
He Does Not Agree With Commissions ,-- -McCartin. ---,---z


 Commissioner David J. Fox was seen, by an Age e-Herald reporter yesterday, and said; q cannot agree with MT. McCartin in ref erence to the police commission being political machine and used to pay political debts I have been member of the com mission as long as has MT. McCartin, and during that time the commission has elected only three men to the force. and if one of them was from another county, as he says, that in itself is good evidence that there was no politics in the selection I was placed on the commission by the governor at the solicitation of the mayor and ma- jority of the aldermen. MT. McCartin was taken from the board of aldermen and placed on the commission. MT. Lesser and MT. Lane were also favored by the present city administration. and there has been perfect harmony between the two boards. ''The milk in the cocoanut is that some gentlemen could not have their man elected chief of police by the commission and they boldly stated that they would have the pos lice commission abolished and elect their man chief by the board of mayor and all dermen for the sole purpose of getting him out of the race for mayor" .s
The age-herald., 1898-11-20
MT. Rainbow Explains

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In reply to the criticism of Editor Lesser, of the Birmingham Courier, refiecting upon my official record as member of the board of aldermen, allow me briefly to state:
 First-That I voted for the resolutions seeking to abolish the police commission as it now stands because it deprves the people of this city of local self-government. I vted in the German-American union for the resolution asking that the board of mayor and aldermen be allowed to elect the commission, because that would abolish the present plan, and restore indirect representation, which I prefer to no popu- lar represen tation at all. There seemed to be no formal move before the legislature for the latter plan; there was of the for mer.
 Second-As to the German professor of calisthenics in the public schools Every intelligent man knows ,or ought to know, that the board of aldermen has nothing whatever to do with employees of the pub lie school system and that the board of education has absolute control of the schools. I am not member of the board of education. As a patron of the public schools and as citizen have paid $5 to- ward the support of Prof. Speidel in his very important work for the children. Ia 5
 Third-The park committee, to which has been delegated the management of the city parks, employs and discharges men in that department. I had nothing to do with the appointment of nor the discharge of MT. Klein, as I am not a member of the park committee. f.e With these explanations decline to enter further into controversy with MT. Lesser leaving the people, and especially niy friends among the Germans, to decide whether or not l have consistently per formed my duty toward them. Respect fully, c. T. RAINBOW, Alderman Second Ward.
