In addition to the original system under which only the ele- mentary branches were taught, a high school department has been established a certificate from which entities the holder to admission without examination into the freshman class of any of the state univer- sities.
 Gadsden Is well supplied with newspapers, which the town and county support quite liberally. The Times and News, is semi weekly, and is published by Messrs. w. M. Meeks & Son. It is democratic in politics. The Tribune, published by M. A. McCann, is issued weekly and is independent in it's politics.
 While I have refrained from any extend- ed personal mention, it is but proper to name a few of the citizens here who will gladly answer any queries made regarding the advantages, natural or otherwise, or Gadsden. Among them are: Hon. Jno L Burnett, congressman from this the Sew enth, district; Hon. R. B. Kyle, Captain w. P. Lay, MT. T. s. Kyle, Captain J. M.

truth The Age Herald correspondent will tell brify, plainly and without embelish- ment of the varied advantages and re- sources of this city and section. In follow ing the positive injuction of The Age-Her- ald that present, without color, facts, and facts alone, regarding the people and what they have, it is more than possible that justice may not be done.
 While the people of Gadsden are proud Of their superior advantages, and do not ob- ject to the world knowing whats athey have, still they are, as rule, averse to what they choose to term presonal flattery, hence the absence of any biographical sketches below. The men who have made the city, and those who are pushing it onward dur ing the present season of prosperity, are men of merit, and merit the highest compli- ments that could be paid them, yet any at- tempt to fatter their personal vanity would be highly repugnant to them
 The people here are not unmindful, how ever, of their inexhaustibe mineral re- sources, their magnificent industrial and agricultural advantages, their unsurpassed railroad and waterway facilities, their sa- lubrious climate and their splendid society, schools and churches, and take pleasure in telling of the same.
 Thus far Gadsden has been exceedingly fortunate as regards the class of her peo- ple who, in point of morals, culture, refine- ment and integrity measureNup to the high est standard of citizenship. In this respect this city is far above the average. Here character is said to count for more than anything else, and it is doubtful if there is g place anywhere, where dishonest or

the splendid manganese beds Gadsden Is better prepared to make steel than any oth- point, owing to the fact that the pureSt of these ores as well as the manganese, are situated so near the place. Iron ore is delivered at the furnaces at Gadsden at a less price, it is said, than at any other point, being worked directly from the mines and needing washing or roasting. The big coal and iron syndicate, which recently purchased the properties of the Gadsden Ala, Furnace company, reference to which has already been made by The Age Herald, appreciated the profitable advant- ages offered the iron industry by Gadsden, and will avail itself of the same in the full lest measure.
 Agricultural Advantages
 The agricultural advantages of this sec tion cannot fail to impress forcibly the most casual observer and it is no exagger- ation to say that this country is without a superior in an agricultural way. Owing to the fertility of the soil, its adaptability to the growth of absolutely every farm pro- duct known to the North American farmer, the excellent climatic conditions, the ex- tremely low price at which land can be purchased and the good railroad facilities and ready market for all products, the grandest inducements are held out to peo- pie of the chilly north and west to come here. The crops consist mainly of corn, cot ton, wheat, oats, rye. barley. clover, grasses potatoes, fruits and vegetables. The valleys grow any cereal vegetable or grass, while the mountain soil produces the finest apples, peaches, plums. pears. grapes, etc. Stockraising can be made profitable here, as cattle require but little feeding during the winter months. Three crops of hay a year can be raised. Valuable lands. cleared, and timbered, can be obtained at from one to three dollars per acre.
 Within a convenient distance of Gadsden are vast forests, of timber, consisting of Iong-leaf yellow pine and hardwoods. Like the mineral resources the timber supply, especially that class of which charcoal is made, is simply inexhaustible.

Gadsden, Ala, July 1.-(Special Cores pondence.)-A visit to this beautiful and progressive little city is always source of delight to Alabamians and, in some re- spects, @ revelation to strangers. In view of the fact that the pictures of towns, as presented by correspondents, are too fre- quently overdrawn, the correct impressions conveyed to the visitor during a days so- journ in Gadsden, would, when related to readers unacquMnted with the people here and their happy surroundings, seem an ex- aggeration. Recognizing this fact, and in deference to the good taste of the people, as well as their characteristic love for

 situation of Gadsden
 Gadsden, the capital of Etowah county, is situated at the southern terminus of Lookout mountain, on the west bank of the Coosa river, 92 miles south of Chattanooga, Tenn, 52 miles west of Rome, Ga, 2S miles northwest of Anniston, and 54 miles north- east of Birmingham, in the midst of the richest mineral and timber sections of the

is, therefore. no hazard of investment here on that score.
 Typographical and Geological
 The typographical conditions in the vicin- ity of Gadsden consist of inequality of sur face, produced by erosion and upheavals lending to the country picturesqueness of scenery that is not surpassed any where on the face of the globe Alternately are towering mountains and beautiful valleys between which are rapidly flowing streams of clear water. Here there is no abiding place for such a thing malarial or other levers. In the geological structure of this section, or in the variety, location. mater ials and development of it's geological for nation, and in the present position of the outcrops of these formations and the man. ner in which they have been thrown to- gether and exposed and in the economic wealth of these formations a field of the greatest interest, especially to geoligists, is presented Here is the centre of that sec ton of North Alabama which is a part of the southwest end of the great coal basin of the Ohio, consisting of a species of sand stones, conglomera tes sholes and clays in which are imbedded seams of stone coal, rich and comprising very thick coal meas ures. The great variety of bituminous coaIs together with the fine grades of iron ore which abound in great abundance within a stones throw of Gadsden indeed some be- ing within the city limits. show that the people here possess a vast deal of natural wealth.
 Rich Iron Resources
 As has been truthfully said no state pos sesses such excellent quality of iron ore, accessible to the market as does Ala bama, and 1t is interesting to note that Gadsden is situated right in the heart of this region, so rich with minerals. On the east large quantities of hematite and fossilferous ores extend along the Coosa river far into Georgia. On the west is the famous Red mountain, in which there also vast quantities of fine iron ore and coal. This deposit is one of the largest of the state. A great body of fossiliferous orc runs from few-mile east of Tuscaloosa to the northeastern limits of the state, being about one hundred miles in length and from half to mile in width. What con- stitutes an interesting and important fea- ture in relation to this remarkable deposit of is its proximity to other materials necessary for its reduction. Coal, iron and limestone overlap each other or lie parallel and separated by few miles throughout it's entire length. The position of Gadsden, as have stated is central between these two great deposits; the richest and purest being at her very doors. The claim is made, and contraversion challenged that these products can be delivered at the furnaces cheaper than at any other point in the mineral belt; that with charcoal at a nomi- nal figure and an ore carrying with it suf- fcient lime for self f1uxing, charcoal iron can be made here as cheaply as any where else in the world, and, further. that with

 Religious and Educational
 Gadsden has a number of churches of various denominations, several of the edi fees of worship being new and handsome in design A large percentage of the popu- lation are of a pious disposition, and as 8 rule the churches are in a fourishing con dition.
 Another source of pride on the part of the people of Gadsden is their excellent educational advantages, having one of the finest public school systems in the country, which are open to and patronized by the

efforts to induce capital to locate here, they have now goodly share of the larg- est and most prosperous industries of the south. Among them are the Dwight cotton mills, Elliott car works, one of the largest car manufacturies of the south, and whose head and founder is Captain J. M. Elliott, president of the Southern Car and Foun- dry company; the Weller pipe works the mills of the Kyle Lumber company, the Southern Manufacturing company, foundry and machine shops, ice plant, grist mills, wagon and buggy shops, a large electric plant lighting the city and furnishing pow for propelling street cars and small in dustries, dummy line seven eight miles in length, and magnificent system of wa ter works Among the larger industries are the furnaces and mining properties of the late Gadsden, Ala, Furnace company, re- gently purchased by T. J. Bush and asso- ciates who represent a syndicate with a $2,000,000 capital.
 Banking Facilities
 Gadsden is well provided with banks, hay ing two of those institutions, the First Ma tional and the Queen City bank, the former, as its name implies, being national bank and the latter a state bank. Each have a paid up capital of $50,0O0 with $100,000 au- thorized, are amply able to meet the demands of the business community, are operated on a most conservative basis, and

MT. O'Sullivan, who has been the chief figure in the talk about Insurance Con- missioner Betts and the settlement of the famous suit, appeared yesterday be- ford and by the advice and with the assistance of counsel succeeded in trans ferring the responsibility for further proceedings in the case from himself to the committee. It was an ingenious move. It is but fair to MT. O'Sullivan to say that his offer to tell the commit tee what he had heard was full and frank, and it is not his fault that he was not allowed to. He furnished the names of those who gave him the "in- formation that has been the basis of what he has said.
 As the matter now stands there are no actual charges against MT. Betts. MT. O'Sullivan says he has made none. He has simply repeated what has been told him. He declines to put himself to the trouble and expense of trying to get evidence in support of what has been said and what he has repeated and he would doubtless be glad to be well out of the whole unpleasant matter. But his action, or inaction, ought not to end the investigation It is due to Mr. Betts that all those named by MT. O'Sullivan be called to testify and made to tell what they know. MT. Betts should and undoubtedly will demand that this be done. The stories or yarns, have received some attention. They should now receive such thorough at- tention that they will be forever dis posed of.

WILL GET THEIR Y.

There are always lions and other things in the way of great undertak- ing. Slatin Pasha has been giving his opinion on the subject of Mr. Rhodes Cape to Cairo railroad and telegraph schemes. He holds that telegraph line south of Khartum would be of lit tie value without means of transporta- ton, but admits that it might hasten the construction of the railroad. But, he says the laying of the wires is no easy task From Fashoda to Dutile- that is to say, the last cataract on the Nile-and thence to the Great Lakes, the difficulty of the work is less in the character of the country than in the transport of the material. The White Nile is closed to navigation by the sudd or barrier of vegetable tlotsam. Camels could scarcely be employed as it would make the transport too costly. It would, therefore, be necessary to open a passage through the sudd, which would not be difficult if there were a sufficient number of steamers. But the construction of the railroad is the main point As the direct route would close ly follow the course of the Nile and lead through districts which are in a marshy condition throughout the greater part of the year, number of detours would be unavoidable. Slatin Pasha is of opinion, however, that it will not be considered desirable to pro- ceed with the section of the line be- tween Dufile and Khartum for the pres ent. If an open channel were secured through the sudd and regular steam- ship communication established, it would be impossible for the obstruction to form again. As the White Nile is navigable at all seasons and has a suf- ficient depth of water even for steam CTS of large draught, he does not see the instant necessity of a line from Khartum to Dufile.
 Impressive, and perhaps all very true, but Cecil Rhodes and other great Eng lishmen wont be much depressed by the "sudd," or anything else that op- poses them. They will get there.

 of the cloth except for yoke of heavy cream lace and front of the surah. Of course the two sorts of plaided skirts are not in the same list, one be- ing solely for the promenade, while this pictured gown is of considerable dress mess. Both stand as proof that many women have a strong liking for strk- ing plaids at all times and seasons.
 There is noticeable a decided fancy for an under edge of velvet set at the
 top of the yoke line of bodice. This
 piece serves as something solid to
 which to fasten down the yoke, and

 velvet that contrasts with both yoke
 and gown. it also affords a touch of
 color that is very desirable just now.
 Thus, simple gown of white-f figured

 made dainty with lace insertion. An edge of velvet set in at the top of the silk lay against the yoke, and was

HTS NDS AND TTYEg

The decision of Judge Thomas H
 Peabody, of St. Louis, that under cer-
 tain conditions q man is justified in striking his wife has attracted much attention and encouraged some hus-
 bands who do not need encouraging. As many families, even in this we'll or
 dered and loving community, are inter- ested in the decision it is perhaps well appears that Bernard Kretzer wanted his son Robert to go on an errand on Sunday morning, while Mrs. Kretzer
 was anxious that all three of her chill
 dren should go to Sunday school A dispute followed and Mrs. Kretzer or
 dered them to start to church in def- ance of her husbands order, whereupon he slapped her in the face. Kretzer was arrested. When Judge Peabody | had heard the evidence he declared that l the father had the same right to order his children as the mother: that when | he had once started his son on an er-
 rand she had no right whatever to change his course, and, therefore he was justified in what he did, so long as he did her no injury. What he did, the judge submitted, was done in the heat of passion provoked by his wife's er- TOT.
 Since giving his opinion on the bench Judge Peabody has felt obliged to ex- plain his decision little. He says that when he ruled that Kretzer was not guilty for beating his wife he didn't want to be set down as a wife beater. If Kretzer had harmed her, or done any bodily injury, it would have been diff for trying to contradict and thwart her husbands will in the presence of their children. It was setting a bad example. And the judge adds: When d woman takes a man for her husband she does so knowing full well that he is to be the ruler of the house, and shall have as much to say as Sne, w WneneVer there is a dispute between them, and the hus- bands desire is good one, it should certainly be acceded to. If he is then provoked to undue anger I think he would be partly justified in striking her. 1t would be good thing to warn the women of the country that their hus- bands have the same rights that they have in the home, and they should all ways be respected. A man should have the right to slap a wife occasion ally.
 How different this from the poets opinion of the man who lays his hand upon a woman save in the way of kind ness. Do the married women of this | country need to be warned that their | husbands have rights that should be | respected? That is, do they need any more warning than they get from their l
