FIG GERMAN SOLDIERS

From the London Chronicle.
 "The tallest man in his army" who is &C., companying the German emperor in his visit to the east, is a grenadier named Chiemke, who is nearly six feet ten inches in his stockings. This Frederick William mania of the kaiser's is an old device of his for impressing the foreigner. On returning from his first visit to Constantinople In 1889 the emperor sent the sultan complete set of kettledrums, which he intrusted to the tallest officer in his army, Lieutenant Pleskow, who is very little, If at all, under seven feet. Once, indeed, when this Prus- sian guardsman looked over a seven-foot garden wall and asked girl picking goose berries therein what was the, way to so- and-so, the simple maiden told him to ride first to the right and then to the left, and he would find the place he wanted. The nymph had honestly fancied that an officer overpeering her garden wall like that must necessarily be on horseback!

SUPREME COURT DECISION
Which Affects the Building and Loan
 Associations.

An important decision has been handed down by the supreme court regarding building and loan associations which is of much interest to the people of Alabama.
 The decision was rendered in the case of Mrs. H. A. Lindsay vs. the United States Saving and Loan company, of St. Paul, Minn., on an appeal from the chancery court of this county.
 Mrs. Lindsay borrowed a certain amount of money from the company, giving as se- curity mortgage on her homestead at Woodlawn. After paying interest for some time she requested a settlement with the company, and according to the statement rendered was indebted more than the orig inal amount borrowed. A tender of the amount understood to be due was made, but the company foreclosed and advertised the property for sale. An injunction was granted restraining the sale and the case was appealed to the supreme court, resist ance having been made on the ground of usury. A decision was rendered reversing and remanding the case Attorney s. w. Johns represented Mrs. Lindsay.

is believed. too, that MT Robbins has done equally well in the Fourth. Unless the re- turns are misleading the latter has carried the white counties in his district Shelby included.
 It Is a glorious result. and too much Johnston and Senator Morgan and all others who aided the indefatigable candi- dates in these two contested districts. It was a warm campaign in both. but the re- suit justifies all the work that was done. It was work that will tell, not only in the new congress, but in congresses that will follow it.
 In the other districts of the state, seven in number, the sitting members were re- turned, thus giving the state delegation that is at once democratic and experienced in the transaction of public business.
 MT. Underwoods return in the home dis trict was practically unopposed. He will go to Washington a veteran in the service of the people, as members go in the house, and the district will have faithful and capable representative. And so it is in all the other districts of the state. Alabama has elected a good and wholly worthy dele gation.

FRENCH SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

From the New York Herald.
 The small boy who has to go to school in New York looks upon the small boy who has to go to school in France with some thing of the envy with which Lazarus may have looked upon Dives. It Is the question of holidays which constitute the difference infavor of the lad who attends a public school of instruction in the French repub- lic The school boys of France have more holidays than work days in the year. and in that fact lies the grievance of the Amer ican youngster. Two hundred and six holi- days in the year, against 159 school days is the record of public instruction in France To begin with, there is the regular midsummer holiday, which covers a period of sixty-four days. That's pretty good for a starter. Then there are the Sundays. are holidays of course everywhere, but they count an additional fifty-two days. Then ten days are allowed for the proper celebra- tion of Christmas and New Years To be thoroughly observant of the great feast of Eastertide fifteen days are given. Thurs days are holidays and that means fffty-two more days of no labor. All Saints comes in for three days holiday, St. Charlemagne two days. Shrove Tuesday and Ash We'd nesday two days. Whitsuntide. three days. and three days to make merry when the national fete in July rolls round. The rest of the year the chuldren are supposed to study.

The New York Election.
gation.

No republican except the Rough Rider could have been elected in the normally democratic state of New York, especially in a year of canal fgrauds and boss despot- sm All through American history the gall la mt soldier has been an attraction to young voters at least, and Colonel Roosevelts victory yesterday was abnormal and prob- ably beyond duplication. The state under normal conditions is democratic, and every year adds to the democratic strength in pro- portion to the gain in the urban vote; for in New York the city is as preponderantly democratic as the rural vote is republican.
 But abnormal as the vote in New York two years. Colonel Roosevelt becomes at once a presidential quantity, a rival of MT. Mckinley His ambition is simply bound jess, and his audacity equals his ambition. He will never consent to play second fiddle on a Mckinley ticket, however strenu- ously he may be invited to displace MT. Hobart-we believe that is the name-of New Jersey. MT. Hobart is still living but he would probably lay down his fifth wheel position without serious objection; but Colonel Roosevelt will never consent to step into the place. Never. He is not that kind of a man. He will seek the top, and much fire and fun in republican cir cles may soon be anticipated.
 The defeat of Judge Van Wyck will be widely regretted To him 1t Is a Waterloo He cannot become a presidential quantity The Knickerbocker in politics has found the turning of the lane. And New York; great as she is in population and wealth, will not be a Warwick in 1900 The west and the south will name the next demo- cratic nominee for president, expecting to elect him, but hoping of course for the aid of democratic New York in rounding out victory.

Redemption of North Carolina.

No one of the many gratifying results of yesterdays election is more gratifying than that of North Carolina. A state that has two white men to one negro has been re- deemed, not only from negro domination In the eastern counties, but from political mongrelism in the state at large. The un- holy alliance has been defeated, and the democrats have resumed control of the state.
 The new legislature meets in January, and 1t will soon sweep away the mixture of republicans and populists that has afflicted the state. Governor RusselPs many mis- deeds doubtless will be fully investigated, and an impeachment trial of passing inter- est may be the outcome of such action on the part of the legislature But whether impeachment be resorted to or not, the state has passed into democratic hands for a long period to come. The experience of the past three years will not soon be for gotten. The white men of the state will hereafter be content with the conditions that have always accompanied democratic rule in the state.
 The most signal victories were won in the negro ridden counties or New Hano- yer. Onslow, Craven, Wayne. Robeson and other eastern counties So far as returns have come in, all have been rescued from negro rule. If any remain In republican hands, they will not long be left in that condition. Means will be found to give personal worth and property due represen- tation. Mere numbers have proven de- structive to good government The elec- tion of yesterday bids Eastern North Car olna to share in the better government that is now the portion of all the south. There are a few negro-ruled localities left but no considerable section. Yesterdays election practically eliminated negro rule in the south. It was glorious victory for good government, peace, order and prosper ity, and all the south will to some extent share in the result.

Toniuht's Conference.
Editor

Politics should not keep the people of the suburban towns, from East Lake and Gate City to Ensley and West End, from attending the conference to be held tonight at MT. John s. Kennedy's office in this city. The Age Herald hopes that every To- cality in the proposed new city will be represented, and that every representative will go to the conference feeling that he is acting not alone for the people of today, but that his action means much for those who are to come after him.
 The consolidation of the towns of the valley into the one great city of the state is in fact broad and far-reaching problem. What it may lead to in the way of pros- can foresee, no one can measure. In every section of the country such consultations are taking place, and in case has the work been undone regretted. In every case it has been confirmed and strength end. What has been good in towns of all sizes, from the biggest in the land to even small towns, must prove beneficial In valley shut in by hills of iron and coal upon which all are dependent.
 There is, in a word, community of n- terest in Jones valley, community of To- ca tion and environment, rarely found else where. We are all in one valley. and that valley is not bisected by a great river or by lagoon, or by intervening hills. Ma ture made one people, and we cannot free ourselves from the valley circum- stances and surroundings.
 There must be way in which people with such common interests can be brought into political union. There must be a way in which they can pull together towards common ends, instead of pulling Adversely, and to find that way Is the task of to- nights conference. The union, if it come at all-and no one should despair of such a desirable endng-must come in the form of compromises and concessions, and yielding of claims and desires on the part of both central town and suburb. The Age-Herald has great confidence that pa- tirotism and belief in Birmingham against the world will rule the conferences of tonight and tomorrow night, and that the outcome will be basis that all reasona- ble people can sanction and endorse and promote both at home and in Montgom- cry,

LIEUT.. ROBSON MOURNs.
Thinks the Spanish Cruisers Loss Was Due to
 Weakness Caused by Bombardment.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The saddest man in New York city yes- terday was Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, United States navy, the hero of the Merrimac.
 The lieutenant had read in the news papers of the loss at sea of the cruiser Maria Teresa, Admiral Cerveras flagship. It was Lieutenant Hobson who had first suggested to the navy department the ad- visibility of saving the warship. His plans had been accepted and had proven to be successful.
 When the lieutenant read that the ship he had hoped to add to the American navy had been lost during heavy storm he could scarcely be consoled.
 Lieutenant Hobson paid several visits to the Army and Navy club, in West Thirty first street, yesterday. The members of the club, who have learned to worship the Merrmac hero, tried to cheer him. But their efforts were useless. ss9
 "What can I say?" said the lieutenaht when seen by a reporter. "The Maria Teresa is at the bottom of the sea and there is absolutely no hope of recovering her. wish had been aboard at the time she encountered that gale. I have no doubt that everything possible was done to save this splendid ship to our navy.
 q would rather have seen any of the big ships of our own service lost than the flag ship of Admiral Cervera. But suppose it is all over now as far as the rest of the Spanish ships we destroyed are concerned I don't know whether an effort will be made to save any of the other ships of that fleet.
 .sWhen the Maria Teresa started from Caimanera Bay, on October 29, last I was assured that the vessel was perfectly sea- worthy. I supposed that she was in good condition to face any storm. But the bom- bardment to which she was subjected at the hands of our gunners must have weak ened her."
 Lieutenant Hobson said he could not tell how long he would remain in this city. He said that as far as he knew he would not return to Santiago in the near future.

The south's Cnly Hope
From the Sheffield Reaper.

From the Sheffield Reaper.
 Yes, the raft1e is highly creditable to the gentlemen who provided the ponies but it is discreditable to the state and it's boasted intelligence and virtue that raffie should be necessary to educate any of its children. Just as discreditable as the widely adver- tised Trace wars" which occur every two years on the eve of election. Those race wars originate in ignorant, stagnant sections, sections where the public school systems most active enemies have their strongholds; sections where the politicians of every shade and creed prey upon ignor- ance. Education is the only hope for the south's salvation. Face wars and a lack of schools hold the south's nose to the relentless grindstone of diversity.

THE HOMEOPATHS.
Doctors Meet in Annual Session in This
 City.

The fifteenth session of the Southern Homeopathic Medical association met in the parlors of the Morris hotel yesterday, Dr. Lizzie Gray Guthrez, of St. Louis, the president. being in the chair. and Dr. Fran ces McMillan, of Nashville, at the secre- tarys desk.
 President Guthrez and Dr. McMllan are both women. and have taken high rank in their profession. The fact that they occu- py the positions they do is the most inter- esting feature of the present meeting.
 Owing to the non-arrival of expected members the presidents address was not delivered and the regular programme was set aside until today.
 Two papers were read, one by Dr. Bal lard, of Birmingham, on Obstetrics" the discussion of which was ably led by Dr. Susan Hicks, of Atlanta, and another on "Paedology'' by pr. Whitman, of Beaufort, s. c.
 The discussion caused by these two pa- pers was of great interest, and was so prolonged that at it's conclusion the meet ing adjourned until today, when the regu- lar order will be proceeded with.
 President Guthrez is an Alabama woman, who removed to St. Louis some years ago.
 Amongst those present are the following:
 Lizzie Gray Guthrez, M. D., president of the association, St. Louis, Mo-; J. A. Whit man, M. D., vice-president of the associa- ton, Beaufort. s. C.: Frances McMiIlan, M D., secretary, Nashville, Tenn; Dr. Albert Irving Babendreier, of Cincinnati: Dr.. w. W. CIapp, city; pr. A. N. Ballard. city; A. D. Meadows. M. D., BloctOn; Susan M. Hicks.
