The pursuit of pleasure is a universal
Instinct throughout all animated nature,
says Lady Cook The love of pleasure
is as much natural appetite as the
love of food. We may safely assume,
therefore. that its qualification, when
nationally indulged, serves some useful
and important purpose. All inquiry
not only confirms this, but shows that
pleasure is necessity, morally, mental
ly and physically. If this be so the
asceticism which condemns all pleasure
is as immoral as it is foolish. Our de-
sires seek great diversity of objects.
These may be worthy or unworthy, and
our methods of attaining them right or
wrong. But the end purposed is
pleasure, and frequently its mere pur-
suit brings about a modified gratifica-
tion. There is wide distinction how
ever, between pleasure and happiness,
because pleasure may be virtuous or
vicious, whereas happiness necessarily
consists in the former. Socrates beauti-
fully described happiness as "unrepented
pleasure" And it must be self-evident
that the pleasures which need no re-
pentance are those alone which are
worthy OF attainment. Prudence Is
their basis. The great founder of the
philosophy of pleasure, Epicurus, the
best abused and most misunderstood of
the Greek sages, said: "All other vir.
tues grow from prudence, which teaches
that we cannot live pleasurably without
living justly and virtuously, nor live
justly and virtuously without living
pleasurably." In these busy days, when
men and women, and too frequently
children, arc worked at high pressure,
the need Of pleasure becomes the great.

VERY POOR PROGRESS.
Peace Committee Fail to Visit the
 Street Gar Companies.

The committees appointed at the joint meeting of the citizens of Woodlawn and Gate City to call on the officers of the Br- mingham Railway and Electric company and the Birmingham Traction company with view of settling the differences be- tween these two corporations have not As yet made much progress.
 One of the committee had an enga cement to meet General Manager Robert Jemison of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company at o'clock yesterday afternoon, but only one member of the committee showed up at the appointed hour and the conference was deferred until another time.
 The bone of coatention between the two companies is the Church street crossing in Woodlawn, the Traction company having been prevented by injunction from using the crossing, which was put in at night. The citizens of Gate City and Woodlawn are desirous of having the matter settled and to that end have taken steps to see what can be done
 Mr. Jemison was seen yesterday and said that he would be glad to meet with the citizens committee at any time. and that permission to cross the tracks of the High- land Avenue and Belt line on Eleventh ave- nue the Traction company would be given permission to make the Woodlawn cross- ing Il 4i

An enthusiastic meeting of local NO. lz5 Retail Clerks Benevolent and Protective association was held last night in Clerks hall in Nineteenth street and important business transacted. Three new members were initiated and several applications were received.
 It was decided to put back the initiation fee of s1 which was suspended several weeks ago during which period many new members were added, including about forty salesladfes who heretofore were not received into the association.
 The early closing movement which was taken up some time ago will be pushed to an issue. The committee to visit the mer- chants on this question has been instructed to complete it's work at once and it is probable will render report at the next meeting.
 The entertainment committee reported that series of entertainments were being arranged. the first of which. a dance, would take place at an early date.

Hughes, "The National Peace Jubilee"
 Hadn't we better strike out the word national and the word southern both, and call it simply, '"The Peace Jubilee,' said Major J. w. Johnston.
 'I am afraid" said MT. Burns. ''that too many other cities may have celebrations. and it would look little too big in us to call ours the National Jubilee Name it The Peace Jubilee.'' ts
 "Call it the Southern" said John w. Tomlinson. flor while we must make it as nearly national as possible. Birmingham is still too small city, as compared with the big cities of the north. that will have celebrations, to call ours the national
 "I should prefer" said Dr. O. T. Dozier, ito call it the national or Interstate Peace and Victory Celebration"
 Victory As Well As Peace
 "I agree with pr. Dozier" said S, Stein- CT. "Ours must be visitors as well as a peace celebration. It is Spain's part to celebrate with peace jubilees. not ours. I think majority of the American people were sorry when the war was over, and I am sure we could have kept it up for some time to come By all means let's celebrate
 
 diers and seamen in this war by calling our affair the Southern Victory and Peace Jubilee.'"
 'I dislike some of the remarks that have been made about Birmingham" said M V. Joseph, saying that it is a large enough city to do so-and-so Birmingham is big enough to do anything 1t wants to, and our jubilee should be as national as we can make it."
 "I think 1t should be called National Peace Jubilee" said Charles G. Brown. ''and believe the people of the north would be glad to come to Birmingham to attend such celebration. I rejoice over the name because 1t means victorious peace to the whole nation and peace which has a great destiny in store for every section of country"
 "I am in favor of striking out the word Southern said A. R. Dearborn, which always recalls the sectionalism between this part of the country and the northern, and calling it the National or simply the Peace Jubilee"
 One or two amendments were suggested to the committees report, as regarded tho name of the celebration. but they were voted down, and the name of Southern Peace Jubilee was retained.
 Chairman Rountree was instructed to ap- point the committees today and they Will be announced at another meeting tonight. At that time the date for holding the ceie- bration and other details. such as the in- | struction of the committees on the work assigned to them, will be decided upon.

DECLARED ADOPTED.
Gov. Johnston Issues Proclamation on
 Birmingham Amendment.

Governor Johnston has issued his proc lamation declaring the Birmingham amend ment adopted. The estimated vote on the amendment shows that it received 127 ,431 votes out of total of 1S0,OS6 cast
 There has been no doubt since the re- turns were first printed in The Age-Herald that the amendment had carried, but the generous proclama ton clinches it and doubles the revenue derived from taxa ton in the city of Birmingham.
 There has been much talk during the last few days among aldermen and other city officials as to whether the amendment would become effective on the property al ready assessed. The city council is about ready to declare the vote of taxation and this point will probably be decided before the city fathers act.
 Alderman Altman, chairman of the judi ciary committee and one of the leading lawyers on the board, does not believe the amendment can become operative on taxes already assessed.
 It Is understood that the matter has been submitted to Attorney General Fitts for a decision. Many of the aldermen hope that 1t can be made operative, because the city needs money badly, even at the pres ent time.
 It is not thought by the city officials that the opposition to the amendment will amount to much.
 "I can't see why people should oppose it." said Alderman Pearce. "They all know that the city needs money andbthat this is the only way to get out of debt. When the amendment becomes operative we will not have any money to throw away, but will have to run affairs on an economical plan to remedy the present conditions.
 "The city administration" he continued, promised the citizens that with this amendment the city could be gotten out of the hole and if they will let us alone we will fulfill cur promise"

as whether tho First will be mustered out. The people are outspoken Here are some of the expressions:
 JAMES BOwRON-fI think the First Alabama should be mustered out of the army. The boys from Birmingham are nearly all of them young men who left sit nations and sacrificed themselves when their country needed them. Now we have arrived at point where the country no longer needs them. It must reduce the enormously heavy expense necessary to maintain army of over 100000 men, and the Washington dispatches say that about 100,0eO men will haxe to be mustered out.
 Birmingham needs very badly the young men down there at Jacksonville. This city is starting into rush of business and needs the help of these soldiers to do the work. Employers are holding positions open with great inconvenience, awaiting their return, but they can't do this indef nitely. If these boys arc sent to Cuba for two years they will get back looking like some Rip Van Wrinkle, themselves almost forgotten and their positions filled up. Bir- mingham cannot stand still and is not oing to, and the vacant positions will be filled by somebody It would be a crime if these patriotic boys should be rewarded by losing their situations and getting set back in their life's career.
 There are quite enough young men en- listed without sacrificing any position, and who are anxious to remain in the service, to fill all requirements of the country. I am opposed to holding any peace jubilee in Birmingham unless our boys are here to participate in it. Everybody admires Colonel Higdon for the part he has taken in standing by the boys''
 CAPTAIN JAMES T. MEADE-"I must commend Colonel Higdon for sticking up to the privates, the men who have all the hardships to bear. instead of the officers who are getting good salaries. Colonel Higdon himself gets a higher salary than any of the other officers, yet he is willing to continue in service or not, just as the men say
 "The government doesn't want all the men it now has in it's army, and simply asks which of you want to go to Cuba and which want to return to their business at home
 Tn that case the men certainly ought to be heard and their sentiments regarded as well as those of the officers. If the gov ernment needed all of the regiments 1t now has in the army, instead of only about half of them, don't believe 10 per cent. of the men would want to quit
 FAC c. SMITH-"Coonel Higdon is right, and I think that unquestionably the men ought to have a say as to whether they will remain longer in the service. He is the head of the regiment, and should be respected such, both by the men and by the officers under him. After he has said that majority of his regiment wants to be mustered out think it is as unmiltary for the other officers to meet and say it is rot SO, as it is foc. the men to circulate a petition saying that it is so.
 We want the boys back. and we must have them. The boys say they want to come, and Birmingham should do all 1t can to assist them.'

Road Sentiment in Now YORK;.

A large part of recent issue of the
Farmers Union Advocate, published
in Albany, was devoted to the Good
Roads topic. and the bill to be intro
duced in the Legislature was en-
dorsed as Gin every sense practicable,
commendable and necessary. The
whole force of Good Roads sentiment
will be brought to bear upon the
Legislature, with the hope to secure
favorable action upon this bill. The
Good Roads men are alive and ag-
gressive, and they are not to be
halted in their purpose by empty po-
litical promises and subterfuges."
Letters from prominent men in many
different counties were printed, show
ing that the sentiment in favor OF such
measure is growing rapidly. the
Secretary OF the New York League for
Good Roads says: To-day the farm
ors alone maintain the public highways.
which oil the people use, and they as
sess themselves about $4,000, 900 a
year for this purpose. Why should
this be so? We say the State should
do something for the public highways,
and so should the county and the town.
The main roads bear traffic LARGELY
unrelated TO the abutting farms. This
Is especially so near large cities. To
care for Thorn properly, the farmer is
heavily and unduly burdened. This
bill provides n way by which local op-
ton and home rule. main roads may
DO built, and fifty per cent. of tho cost
betrayed by the State, thirty-fve per
cent. by the county, and fifteen per
cent. by the town or adjacent property
owners, If they desire tho improve
ment. This, to large extent, lifts
from the farmer the burden of these
main roads. The cities and towns are
willing to accept this proposition, and
the farmers should not fail to take adj
vantage of the opportunity, while they
are ready to do so"
