 Victims to the Altar of Gold.
 Prescott tells us that the Aztecs were in the habit of offering up human victims to secure the favor of their gods. Our opponents sometimes speak in disparaging terms of those who inhabit the land of the Aztecs, but let it be remembered that a huge sacrifcial stone that once surrounded the great Teocalli in the capital of the Montezumas, now harmless and unused, forms one of the most interesting exhibits in the Mexican national museum, while in the United States fresh victims in ever in- creasing numbers are being immolated upon the altars erected in honor of the gold standard.

THE CANDIDATES ARE OFF A Call For the State Executive
 Committee ID CONVENE FEBRUARY 22 Will Meet in the City of Montgomery to Make Arrangements For State Conyen-
 tion in April.

The horses have been at the post impa- tiently stamping for some months and now they are off. The campaign is on and the call for a meeting of the democratic state executive committee has been issued.
 Simultaneously with the opening of the campaign in Jefferson county came the cali to the state executive committee to convene Feb. p. It is as follows:
 The state executive committee of the democratic and conservative party of Ala bama is hereby called to meet in the city of Montgomery on Tuesday, the 22d day of February, 1898, for the purpose of fixing the time and place of holding the next state convention of said party, and for the transaction of such other business as may come before it.
 JOHN B. KNOX, Chairman.
 NATHAN L. MILLER, Secretary
 At this meeting all arrangements VIII pc made for the holding of the state conven. ton and the date set. The committee VIII get together little later than mas peeh the rule heretofore.
 The late meeting will render the cam paign short, and it may be stripped Of some interesting features, because 1t has been almost universally conceded that Gov. Johnston will have no opposition TOT re- nomination.
 The question of county conventions or primaries will be settled at this meeting. It is likely that the mode of holding them will be left to the counties, as 1t has Tn the past. The campaign is on in a ma- jority of the counties and the battle will continue until August.
 The fight will come after the democrats have chosen their standard-bearer. The populsts according to the recent meeting of the executive committee, will hold an early convention. By some 1t is believed that they will put out candidate for governor, and others say they will not.
 The executive committee secuted the idea of an alignment with the republicans, but this declaration may prove as big de- fusion as in days past.

ARE PERFECT WORKS OF ART The Mardi Floats Seen in the
 Studio. WORK PROGRESSING APACE ]. A. German Tells of How the Different Figures Are Gotten to State
 of Perfection.

"No, they won't hurt you; come right in," said J. A. German yesterday at the building at Tenth avenue and Eighteenth street, where the Mardi Gras floats are being made. This was said to an Age Herald reporter as he walked through the door almost into the jaws of monstrous dragon.
 Inside the long, low building was a per feet wonderland. strange mixture 1t was, of the weird with the beautiful. On the one side would be a great uncanny float that fairly makes ones flesh creep. so life like it looked, while on the other side was some beautiful image that would have graced an artists studio.
 The floats all represent some scene of history, literature and mythology, and they are historically correct in every detail. Neither are they painted canvas floats that are seen so often, but each of them is a work of art, specially designed and con structed with the most car .ful workman ship throughout
 The method of their construction is very interesting to onlooker. Whenever a figure is to be made for float, for in stance, the figure of a woman, a model in clay has first to be made. This, as in all
  done in clay, and requires the eye and hand of an artist to do it. From this clay model plaster cast is made and this cast is in turn filled with paper mache. This paper mache when dry is just the shape of the original clay model, and after 1t is trimmed and painted it is ready to be at tached to the float. The frame in which these paper mache shells are attached are constructed of wood by the most exper- enced carpenters.
 The work is under the direction of MT. J. Anthony German, an artist by profess sion, and one who has had twenty-two years experience in the building of floats. MT. German studied the art in France and Italy, the home of the carnival, and has supervised the construction of carnival floats in all the leading cities of the United States
 The construction of nearly all of the floats is well under way, and MT. German will soon erect tents outside the building under which to mount them on the wagons that are to carry them in the parade.
 A visit to this novel workshop is a most interesting one to any who are fortunate enough to be given a glance at it's hidden mysteries.

WORK WILL BE THOROUGH Government Takes Charge of
 the Smallpox. INSPECTORS ARE EMPLOYED Who Will Institute House to House lnvestga- ton-Three More Assistants Will
 Come From Washington.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, Ian. S.-Representative Un- derwood had Q coe---ance today ~7In the secretary of the trea~-Syy and Surgeon-Gen- eral Wyman, at which it was practically agreed that the order should be issued plac- ing the national authorities in control of the smallpox cases in Birmingham.
 The contention regarding the expenses has been settled, and as soon as Assistant Surgeon Magruder of Memphis reports that government control is necessary to keep the disease from going into other states the order will be issued. Gen. Wyman is ex- pecting this report at any moment, andI will then issue the official order.
 The city yesterday accepted the services offered by the government in aiding them in suppressing the smallpox scourge. pr. Magruder of the United States Ma rine Hospital Service, who has the work in charge, was seen by an Age-Herald reporter last night, and he gave out the following statement as to the method which would be pursued by the government officials in their work:
 Thirty men, said he, "have been em- ployed, and work will commence tomorrow, and we shall make a house to house inspec
 ton of the city. We shall go to the differ ellt nOuS0S, eSpeclal1y ln the lnIeCteu QlS- trict, and go through each house looking for smallpox cases and vaccnating where it is necessary. A record of each house showing the name of each inmate, the date of last vaccination, the appearance of the scar etc, and re-vaccinating if necessary. "Of course all smallpox cases will be re- moved at once to the quarantine camp. Those who have been exposed to the dis ease will be isolated and the infected premisis will be disinfected.
 'As soon as the house to house inspection of the city is completed, 1t will be repeated and repeated as often as may be neces- sary in order to suppress the disease en- tirely.
 As soon as the corps here is thoroughly organized and becomes familiar with their work, will then go to all cities and towns in the county and inaugurate the same course or follow whatever plan may seem best to the individual towns. My head quarters will be in the government building. Assistant Surgean Hastings and two hos pital stewards will arrive to assist in the work in q few days.
 "I shall take this opportunity of request ing through the columns of The Age-Her- aid the people to aid the inspectors as far as possible in the performance of their is necessary to suppress in the shortest possible time the present outbreak of the disease"

BIRMINGHAM TRACTION COMPANY
Sought To Be Restrained From Crossing the Line
 of Electric Company.

A writ of injunction has been served on the president of the Birmingham Traction compnay through the chancery court, en- joining that company from crossing the tracts of the East Lake electric line at Woodawn.
 The injunction was sued out by the Bir- mingham Railway and Electric company.
 The Birmingham Traction company re- gently came into control of the East Bir- mingham dummy line, and are making ex- tensive improvements, with view of changing the road from a steam to an electric line.
 The present line passes through East Woodawn and crosses the East Lake line at what is known as the East Woodlawn crossing. Desiring to obtain Woodlawn patronage the company decided to change their road bed and sought to cross the East Lake line at Chruch street, some dis tance west of the present crossing.
 The Birmingham Railway and Electric company opposed this on the ground that it is a busy crossing and would be danger ous on account of a curve at that point.
 The injunction will be heard in a few days.

EMINENT FRENCH wIDOws.

. Mime. MacMahon, the wife of the mar shal and president of that name, declined to accept a state pension when offered to her. She is, however, well provided for, and during the winter is to be found in her mansion, situated in the Rue de Belle chase, but during the summer months she retires to her chateau in the Loiret. The royalist circles in which she moves are of a very select and exclusive nature.
 Mime. Carnot lives an extremely retired life but still receives the visits of princes and other distinguished people who come to condole with her. In her house she has a little chapel which she has arranged her. self and filled with souvenirs of her late husband. She also, like Mime. MacMahon, has declined a state pension.
 The wife of the "Grand Francais," M. de Lesseps, spends the greater part of the year at La Chesnage, where her husband died. She receives pension of $24,000 a year from the Suez Canal company.
 One of the most active of the famous widows is the wife of the historian, Mitch eet, who lives quite alone, and occupies her time in bringing out new editions of her late husbands work and editing the MSS he left behind, including his memoirs.
 Mime. Aexandre Dumas is busily engaged with her husbands MSS, for her object is to prevent any of the numerous works or fragments of works he left behind from being published.
 The wife of the illustrious composer of Faust" Mme Gounod, refuses to allow the performance of some of Gounod's ear Her compositions on the ground that the reputation of the deceased musician might suffer from the criticisms passed upon them.
 M. Pasteur's widow has taken up her residence at the institute bearing her hus- bands name, and is in receipt of pension of $5,000 year.
