| asked Mr.. Stronach about the Home
and whether it was up TO its capacity
He said:
I'VE have 10S inmates of the Home,
and every day applications come in
from soldiers anxious to be taken in.
But for the kindness Of the railroad in
giving transportation it would be int
possible on an appropriation of $500
to care for the present number on our
rolls. We have now applicants from sixty
Confederate soldiers who write beg
ging to be admitted. We are anxious to
admit them, but we cannot do so unless
we have the money to buy provisions to
feed them.
Our regulations are framed with a
view to securing the welfare of the in
mates. We have no motive EXCEPT the
good of the Home and the soldiers
who are cared for there at the EXPENSE
Of the State We are trustees. We have
til" least stringent regulations of any
Ilome in the coun'T1y an give the in
mates every liberty consistent with good

HE FLED IN FRIGHT.
Remarkable Experience of Hottentot With
 the German language.

From the Critic.
 If any one in speaking to you used the word hottentotenstrotlertrot characterization gitterwettetr kottetrbeute- latte, it's harmonious sound would assure you that 1t was German, and such it really is being taken from a Dresden paper, Der Weidmann. Here is the explanation of 1t: Among the Hottentots (Hottentotten) the kangaroos Cbeutelratte) are very numerous. Many of them roam about the country free and respected; others, less fortunate are caught and shut up in a cage (kotter) furnished with cover Qattengitter), which shelters them from bad weather. These are then called. in German, latten- gitterwettetrl5otter and the Kangaroo, once imprisoned, takes the name of latten- tterlSotterbeutelrattc. One day an assassin (attentaeter was arrested, who had killed the Hottentot mother (Hotten- totenmutter of two children, one half Wit ted. tho other a stammerer (strottertrot- tell, This mother, in the German tongue, is designated by the word Hottentoten- strattertrottelmutter. from which 1t fol- lows that the assassin takes the name or Hottentotenstrotertelm CT i. The murderer was shut up in kangaroo | cage (beutelrattetnattengitt ter) from which he shortly escaped. But unfortunately, he soon fell into the hands of a Hottentot, who went joyously to the mayor of the village, exclaiming: T have caught the beutclratte! (Which

snecial to The Age-Herald.


 Selma, Ala, Feb. 5.-Messrs. Hanson and Kirkpatrick of McMinnvilie, Tenn, are here tonight, looking for one Smith, who is badly wanted in that place. Smith went to McMinnville in October last, refugeeing from Mobile and secured place with the Singer Sewing Machine company.
 About month ago he went to Biles Brothers stables and secured team to carry his wife to the country to be con- fined. He was given a fine pair of bays and a new Columbus buggy. Neither was returned to the stable, and it cropped out that Smith was short in his accounts with the sewing machine company some $2Oo. The pair were easily traced owing to the woman's condition, and were in Selma about two weeks ago. Here the trail has been lost. It is supposed they were making their way to Mobile.

THE GADSDEN MAY0RALTY A Decision by the Supreme
 Court Yesterday REVERSING JUDGE BILBR0 Who Dismissed the Petition to Dust Captain ]. Nj. Elliott From the 0fice-An
 Interesting Case.

An interesting decision was rendered yesterday by the supreme court in the case of the state of Alabama as relationed to Pink Harris and others ys. J. M. El- liott, mayor of Gadsden.
 It was claimed by the plaintiff in the original suit that Elliott was not eligible to the office, which was resisted, and on the trial of the case before Judge Bilbro, of the circuit court of Etowah county, the petition to oust Elliott was dismissed. It was subsequently, dismissed by Judge Disaue, of the city court of Gadsden. The case was appealed, and yesterday Messrs Denson & Tanner, attorneys for the ap- pellant, received a telegram stating that the supreme court had reversed the judg- ment of Judge Bilbro, who dismissed the petition to oust Capt. Elliott from the of- flee of mayor of Gadsden.
 This judgment of the supreme court re- quires Judge Bilbro to try the case on its merits and determine whether Elliott IS disqualified to hold said office. At the same time the supreme court affirmed the judgment of Judge Disque, of the city court, dismissing appellants petition to oust Elliott.
 This latter suit was brought as a mere matter of precaution to meet any emer- gency that might arise in case of the af- firmance of the judgment of Judge Bilbro. Of course it was known that both deci- sions of the lower courts could not stand, or that both would be reversed.
 The reversal of Bilbro's judgment sus- tains the position first taken by appel lant, that the petition did not assail the validity of an election that could be con- tested under the code, and that Judge Bilbro was bound to retain the petition and hear the case on it's merits.
 The decision of the supreme court Is quite a victory for the appellant in this now celebrated litigation.

TURNER'S PlTlFUL STORY.
He Is Destitute and Will Wend Hts Way "Oer
 the Hills to the Poor House."

Tom Turner, a one-armed man, is in the city jail, charged with vagrancy. His story is pitiful one.
 He came to Birmingham last Christmas from Blocton. went on a spree and stayed drunk for two months. He had been sell ing furniture on commission and had saved something over $1O0. When he finally so- bered up, he was without money and with out friends.
 The man he had been working for at Blocton had, meanwhile, been put in jail at Bessemer for attempting to bribe wit ness in case to recover some furniture.
 Turner is unable to do any manual labor and the charge of vagrancy has been put against him in order that he may be sent to the county poor farm.

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS DISPATCH BOAT WANDA,
Key West. May 19-Morro light is
still burning at night and absolute quiet
prevails.
The rumors of heavy firing off Car

target practice of some of the gunboats
on the hulk of a sunken schooner De-
tween Cardenas and Matanzas.
ALL QUIET ON THE COAST.
KEY WEST. May 19-Some of the
smaller ships which returned from var
ious points on the blockade line to-
day brought no news. They confirm the
statement from the Associated Press
dispatch boat Wanda that all is quiet
along the coast Although some of the
small ships cruised slowly along the
Cuban shore, there was no sign of hos
tility toward them. There was a rumor
circulating about town to-day that the
Spanish squadron stole unmOlested into
Havana last night. It originated in a
manner peculiar to Key West stories,
and not a shadow of confirmation of the
report could be obtained here. The re-
port of the bombardment of Santiago
de Cuba is discredited here.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Probable That They Will Soon Be
Temporarily Occupied by Troops.

CHICAGO, May ia special to the
Journal from Washington says:
1t is probable that American troops
Will soon be occupying Hawaii. Presi-
ment Mckinley agrees with all callers
that the temporary occupation of the
Philippines is out of the question
Whether we desire it or not, we will
be compelled to retain the islands for
long time, if not permanently More
troops than now decided on will have to
be sent to Manila in the course of sew
eral months.
This contingency has appealed to the
Administration with such force that the
advisability of making Hawaii a base
for both army and naval operations has
been discussed. 1t is not known at
what time the American commander in
the Philippines might need additional
men. The distance between San Fran
cisco and Manila might endanger
American prestige and many lives To
offset this possibility it is proposed to
send probably 10000 volunteers to Ha-
wall, there to be held in reserve. They
could be trained there, and from that
point could be sent to Manila twenty
days earlier than they could if kept in
the United States.
The climate of Hawaii is excellent
No finer point could be selected for or
gG2izing, drilling and eQuipping raw
recruits and getting them into shape
for active field service.

FIRING AT SANTIAGO.
Spanish Batteries Open Up On Two
American Warships.

KINGSTON (Jamaica), May 10, 3
p. m.-(Copyrighted, 1898, by the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Two American warships.
whose names were not discernible from
the shore. appeared off Santiago de
Cuba yesterday while the steamer
Adoula, which has arrived here from
that port with refugees, was in the
harbor They approached and drew the
fire from the batteries at the harbor
entrance. 1t is not certain whether the
warships replied to the fire.
The firing continued from noon to
o'clock. Captain Walker of the Adoula
when coming out could not see any
marks on MORO Castle, and inferred
that the American ships drew the fire
of the batteries to learn the range
There was much excitement in the
city. The regulars and volunteers were
called out and new earthwork batteries
erected on each side of the harbor en-
trance The number and caliber of the
guns are unknown, but it is known that
there are twenty-one torpedoes in the
channel electrically connected with the
shore.
The cruiser Mercedes, whose boilers
are disabled has been anchored so she
can rake the channel for 800 yards.
