Civil Officials in the Army.

An interesting question has arisen at the
War Department in connection with the
appointment to military places in the vol
unteer army of persons who now occupy
federal positions. 1t applies tc the cases
of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, Consul
General Lee and Representative Wheeler
of Alabama. The judicial authorities at
the War Department say that when a per-
son holding civil office returns to the duties
thereof, after having been sworn INTO the
military service he ceases to De an officer
of the army. They base their conuel zion
on section 1222 Of the Revised Statutes,
which reads as follows:
mo officer of the army on the active list
shall hold any civil office, whether by cleo
ton or appointment. and every sucn officer
who accepts or exercises the functions Of
a civil office shall thereby cease to re an
officer of the army, and his commission
shall be thereby vacated"

walker for Assistant Secretary.

Chairman Boutelle of the House naval
affairs committee called upon the Presi-
dent yesterday afternoon to urge the ap-
pointment of Rear Admiral John G. Walk
er, retired as assistant secretary Of the
navy to succeed Theodore Roosevelt In
his representations Captain Boutelle in
formed the President that his committee
was unanimous in urging upon him the
great desirability, in this time of special
exigency, of availing himself of the excer,-
tional experience and ability of Admiral
Walker. He cited to the President the re-
markable service rendered by Assistant
Secretary Fox during the administration OF
President Lincoln, which, he said, was due
largely to Mr.. Foxs previous experience as
an officer of the navy. Mr.. Boutelle said that
his action was taken entirely without the
knowledge Of Admiral Walker and solely
with a view to the public interest at this
time, when the experience, In SO important
q position as that of assistant secretary OF
the navy, was unusually desirable

FOR TEMPLE EMANUEL.
A Novel Entertainment Given in the Rooms
 of the Y. M. P.A.

novel and enjoyable entertainment was given at the rooms of the Young Mems Hebrew association in First avenue last night for the benefit of Temple Emanuel
 The entertainment was a phantom party and was participated in by large number of young folks. The room was darkened and the participants each mask ed beneath plain white sheet bearing lighted candle in the right hand presented a weird sight as they gracefully kept step to the music of the grand march.
 The merry ghosts then unmasked and dancing was indulged in until late hour.
 The entertainment was largely attended and proved both a social and financial success, a neat sum being realized for the temple. The following ladies were in charge of the affair and deserve much credit for its success: Mrs. Louis. Sals Mrs. Herman saks, Mrs. A. B. Loveman Mrs. A. Slaughter and Mrs. R. Loven- thai.

TROUBLE IN MAKING
 BOND FOR FRAZER
SEVERAL BONDSMEN WERE RE.
 FUSED BY THE SHERIFF.
Writ of Habeas Corpus May Be Sued Out Hearing of Similar Action For Re-
 lease of Collins Tomorrow.

More trouble is being experienced in getting bond for Hugh Frazer than was first anticipated.
 Frazer is still in the county jail and 1t is said that he does not relish his confine- ment He says his liberty is denied him for nothing and that he is perfectly inno- cent of any complicity in the Collins mur- der. Several gentlemen who have prof fered their services as bondsnen have been refused by Sheriff OBrlen because of their not having sufficient property to come within the bounds of the law, which says every bondsman must be worth double the amount of the prisoners bond. This means that any man taking S5,OOo o3li- gation must be worth s100O0.
 It is possible that his attorneys are not anxious for him to make bond and in- tend to sue out a writ of habeas corpus. This action was rather expected yesterday but was not taken.
 Renewed interest will be taken in the casa tomorrow when the habeas corpus proceedings in behalf of Thomas Collins come up before Judge Sharpe The type written evidence taken in the Bessemsr trial will be submitted and the attorneys will argue the case.

DO NOT RECOGNIZE
 SOCALLED STRIKE
SOUTHERN OFFICIALS SAY LITTLE
 ABOUT BOILERMAKERS.
One Said Boilers Could Be Made in other Cities If Men Would Not Work
 -Strikers' Statement.

Very little that was new developed in the
 case of the striking boilermakers of the Southern railway shops yesterday The boilermalers gave out the following statement which about explains their po- sjtion:
 To correct what might be a mistaken im- presson and injustice to ourselves, we the boilermakers employed formerly in the ser vice of the Southern railway-at present | djscbarged-wish to lay before the public the scale of wages of Birmingham boiler | shops:
 Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, per hour, 30 cents. Birmingham Boiler works, per hour z'1s cents Alabama Boiler works, per hour. 2z71s cents
 Fulton's Boiler works, per hour, 2ih cents
 Williamson Iron company. per hour, 271k cents
 Hood Machine company, per hour 211a cents.
 | Linn Iron works, per hour 27h cents. Huntsville and Nashville railroad, per l hour, 25.65 cents. l Alabama Great Southern, per hour, 25ls | Highland Avenue and Belt line, per hour,
  | 271a cents.
 Southern railway, per hour, 27 cents. The public is left to decide as to whether the Southern is paying 15 to 20 cents more per day than any other shop in Birmifg- ham. We only insisted that the new man, who went to work Saturday, be paid the same rate of wages as the old employees, and the strike was not because he was | non- union man. (Signed) COMMITTEE. An Age-Herald reporter visited several
 of the officials of the Southern railroad,
 but they would not talk. Said they didn't know anything. One of them did say, however, that while they knew nothing
 whatever, about any strike. that ten boil
 ermakers whom they were paying from
 s27O to $279 per day had asked for their time, had received the money due them and had quit work of their own accord. The railroad people presume that this action was taken account of a new
 man they had hired at the rate of s2.5o per day. This official also said that the
 Southern road did not really need any boil
 ermakers just at present. as the new boil
 CTS they were making could just as easily
 be made in other cities if necessary, and
 that as there was very little repairing
 being done now, they could get along very
 well with the two or three boilernakers
 remaining.

THINGS WORKING SMOOTHLY.
Three More Marine Service Men Arrive From
 Washington.

The corps of smallpox inspectors have settled down to work and everything was running smoothly yesterday.
 pr. Hill Hastings, assistant surgeon in the United States Marine Hospital Service together with two trained hospital stew ards, arrived yesterday and entered upon their duties at once.
 There are twenty-eight inspectors at work in the city, having all the houses and premises cleaned up and making other prep arations for the wholesale vaccination which is to commence as soon as the new supply of virus arrives. The virus to be used will be that put up in glass tubes and not the virus-tipped ivory points that were so popular last summer.
 On Monday Dr. Magruder, the surgeon of the Marine Service corps, who is in charge of the work here, spent the day in Bessemer organizing his corps of assist ants there, and yesterday he was in Cardiff and one or two other small towns for the same purpose.

PAID ANOTHER VISIT
And Gave the Sequel to Her Story of Domestic
 Troubles.

Mrs. Emma Gregory, the prepossessing brunette who paid The Age-Herald office a visit Monday, was a welcome caller again yesterday. Mrs. Gregory was too modest to tell the whole story of her domestic troubles on her first visit, and perhaps by this means injustice, although unin- tended, was done her.
 It appears, according to the recital of the lady, that her husband made charges against her about one year ago and insti- tuted divorce proceedings. The matter was carried into print and he sent papers con- taining the account to her relatives. How ever, he was unsuccessful in securing the divorce. When she instituted proceedings she was successful. True to womanly in- stincts, she never forgot wrong, and she desired to send a printed copy toher hus- bands relatives.
 Mrs. Gregory is quite an unassuming and charming lady.

WRIT OF i'm = OUT IN BROWN CRC> caSE.
Thought to Be Test Case In Event of Fa- yorabie Decision. Similar Action
 Will be Taken in Others.

Yesterday afternoon Attorney J. l.. Meade sued out writ of habeas corpus in the city court in behalf of Officer w. T. Rollo in which 1t is sought to obtain his release from custody on the charge of bur glary and grand larceny from the store of the Brown crockery company, under which he was bound over to await the action of the grand jury under $500 bond by Judge Feagin
 The writ will be heard by Judge Wilker- son in the second division at 10 o'clock Friday morning.
 Rollo has been bound over in two other cases, and it is thought that the habeas corpus proceeding is a test that will be resorted to in the other cases in the event of a favorable decision ..a
 Rol,o has been installed as turnkey in the first corridor at the county jail and seems to be hopeful.

Bir1ningham's reputation as a carnival city has gone out to the world. as is evil denced by the many inquiries that are being made for hotel rates, etc., by people from all parts of the United States.
 A party numbering forty from Chicago have written for hotel rates, which were at once forwarded to them, and yesterday it was learned that the party would attend in a body. Seventeen of this party were here last season and so pleased were they at Birmingham's display. that they are coming again greatly increased in numbers and enthusiasm.
 This is only one of the many parties and clubs that will attend the festivities of the gay Mardi Gras season.
 It is expected that the largest crowd ever assembled in Birmingham will witness the magnificent official parade by the Carnival society on Tuesday night, February g. which, it is said, will rival any Mardi Gras display ever attempted in the va rious carnival cities
 The subcommittee of three composed of D. Lesser, Jack W. Johnston and E. J. Me Crossin, which was appointed by the com mittee on designs to select Rex Vulcan III, held a meeting yesterday and are still un- able to decide. The applicants are so nu- merous and their claims and influences so strong that the committee in despair post joned action for day or two. As was announced several days ago, the military companies and the bicycle clubs will participate in the parade. Besides these it is now announced that the Order of Red Men will take part and put up a handsome show, as will also the Associa- tion of Dairymen.
 The Italian society, which had such a pretty display last year, is negotiating with the grand chief architect and governor of the royal menagerie, J. A. German, for the construction of one or two beautiful floats for their display in the parade.
 It is given out, unofficialy, however, that the contest for the honors of Rex Vulcan III has narrowed down to three or four opponents, and in event of either being se- lected, the assurance is given that Rex and his courters will rival in splendor the royal courts of the ancient kings. An important consideration in connection with the selection of Rex is his queen. Many of the most prominent young ladies of Birmingham society have been men toned in this connection. Of course, "the common masses of the common people" will be compelled to await in suspense the unmasking of this royal couple before their identity is known.
 Hail to Rex Vulcan III. and his fair queen.

ST. PAUL'S MISSION.
Father Roberts on the Cause of Death By
 Mortal Sin.

The mission services at St. PauPs Cath ollie church last night were opened by Father Bonaventure with discourse on sorrow He developed the idea that sorrow is necessary for forgiveness of sin, and sorrow must be supernatural predominant and interior.
 Father Roberts sermon was on death as the consequence of mortal sin. The fact of death is proven by reason. Experience teaches us that we must die, but we know not the time nor the hour when we are to die
 Dr. Roberts dwelt for long time on the fact that we may die at any moment, and illustrated it by some thrilling examples, and he concluded his sermon with an ap- peal to the cross, begging our Lord to pre- serve us from sudden death, and above all from an unprovided death.
 The music last night was unusually good Miss Norma Scholar sang beautiful se- lection. The quartette, composed of John Cartright. Mrs. Davies and Misses Marga-

THE OTHER SIDE.
MT. Noin, Who Owns the Stock Yards, fx-
 presses Himself.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 An article in this mornings Age-Herald
 headed "Mr. Greshams Objections,' does
 me such gross injustice that cannot let it pass unanswered. I care nothing for Gresham's objections but do care for his misstatements in regard to my stock yard,
 Morris avenue and Twenty-fourth street.
 where I have stable room to comfortably
 cover GOO head of stock. Owing to the un-
 precedented demand for stock room, about
 the last of December my stables were crowded and was forced to keep some in the lot. On the 30th day of December had notice served on me by the city sanitary inspector (the assertion of Gresham to the contrary) that the stock must be sheltered and the place put in good sanitary con- dition. At the expiration of the time h. spector Thomas came round and after look
 ing through the yard Git being during>the
 rainy spelD and being informed of the great
 difficulty of getting cars to ship the cat
 tie, he granted me extension of time.
 So deeply was MT. Gresham interested in
 this matter that he reported it to Dr. Bar clay three times. WI at a pity this ex-in- spe ctor did not develop '.lis great interest in the public good ,ou. year ard half sooner T. M. NELL. Birmingham, January il.
