AIGELTINGER SAYS SO.
Expects to Pass to Print The
wO Infamous Resolutions.


Two Infamous Resolutions.
Supervisor Aigeltinger, chairman Of
the Street Committee and the recog-
nized leader of the solid seven, says
that the double track and the blanket
franchises asked for by the Southern
Pacific and the Market Street Railway
will be passed to print this afternoon.
Il expect we will pass the ordinances
to print" he said last night. why
should we not grant these franchises?
There is no opposition to them from
the representative men of the city-the
men who employ labor and who own
property that will be effected. After
the franchises are granted / shall be in
favor of passing an ordinance compell-
ing the street railway companies to put
down fiat rails, doing away entirely
with TT rails, and also to take up all
tracks that are not in use.
The meeting held to-day to protest
against granting the Southern Pacific
the right to lay double tracks over its
right of way through the city was not
protest of property owners. 1t was
got UP in the political interest of
Phelan. 1 do not propose to be fright
ened by such people, but If any man

me why the franchises should not be
granted l will change my vote and help
defeat the ordinances. This is not a
question of favoring any railroad, but
question of acting for the best inter
ests of the city. The street railroad
companies who are asking for these
franchises have declared that they in
tend to begin work at once, and that
means work for a great many unem-
ployed men. The street railways are
needed to develop the city and the
work is needed by hundreds of men out
of employment. If I cannot produce a
property owner who favors the grant
ing of these franchises for every prop
erty owner opposed to them l will do
nate a thousand dollars to the chart
table institutions of this city"

PICKENS AGAINST IT.
County Will Vote Against Holding Con-
 stitutional Convention.

Carrollton, January 21.-(Special.) )-The democratic leaders of Pickens county are opposed to constitutional convention. The executive committee of the party recently met and, after calling a convention to nominate a delegate on Monday, February 20, a resolution was adopted in this strong language:
 "Be it resolved, By the executive com mittee of Pickens county:
 "First-That it is the sense of this com mittee that the calling of said convention was unwise, inexpedient and unnecessary.
 "Second-That we are utterly opposed to the disfranchisement of any man who is entitled to vote under the present law"
 There is hardly any doubt that this coun- tvs vote will be carried against the con- vention, as both democrats and populists are outspoken against it. On the fight over the bill in the general assembly it will be remembered that both Senator w. D. Wind ham and Representative R. F. Henry did all they could against it's passage No can didates for delegates are yet announced.

MANY BILLS OF INTEREST

Montgomery, January 21.-(Special.)-Th general assembly of Alabama will recon vene next Tuesday, January 24th There are twenty-four more working days of this session, and the work that remains to be done will have to be hurried, if everything is finished.
 During the first half of the present session there was but one bill of especial general interest passed-the constitutional conven- tion bill. Consequently there is great deal of very important legislation to be considered, and the last half of the session promises to be exceedingly interesting.
 Some important general legislation is the general revenue bill, the appropriations bill the Moody dispensary bill, the primary election bill and the public school question. Then there is the Mobile school question, which promises one of the liveliest fights of the session.
 Birmingham will also have some interest ing legislation. The abolition of the Jeffer- son county commissioners court is by no means dead issue the Greater Birming- ham bill will cause some slight rifle, as well as the Burkhalter bill to appropriate the retail liquor license money to the sup port of the public schools in the county
 The members of the general assembly be- gan arriving today. Representative Wal lace was the first to arrive. Most of them will wait until Monday to leave home, how ever. The house will be called to order at Il o'clock and the senate at 12 Tuesday.
 Governor Johnston today issued the fol- lowing pardons:
 Henry Turner, Clarke county, false pre- lenses.
 Ruff Norwood, Marengo county, grand larceny.
 Fillmore Covington, Wilcox county, bur glary and grand larceny.
 Robert Shorter, Montgomery, robbery
 Granville Harris, Montgomery, grand larceny
 Bowie Underwood, Autauga county, grand larceny.
 H. s. Henson, Lamar county, fine and costs remitted KERSH.

THE LAPS DEMoRALIZlD

From the Yokohama Mainichi Shimbun
 The Japanese are now inflated with con- ceit The progress made by them in the past twenty years was the result of being humble and working earnestly to supply their deficiencies. With the loss of humility and the development of a conceited mood progress has ceased.
 Look at the social customs of the time There are balls and garden parties in ac- cordance with western fashion, but the spectacle they present is as that of a mon- key in ''bell-topper.'
 And if we turn to the moral side we find an unhappy absence of sincerity. Japanese have been known to export rape seed under pretense that 1t was silk worms eggs They have so loaded their silks with sizing that American haberdashers have been compelled to advertise, not that they sold Japanese silks, but that nothing of the kind was among their goods. There have been men who, obtaining funds under pre- tense of founding a Christian school, have applied them to setting up a tobacco store A Japanese has palmed himself off as a prince and succeeded in swindlng London widow out of her money Students have returned from Europe and pretended to be the possessors of degrees which they never obtained. Others have obtained foreign university degrees under false pretenses
 Insincerty, like a canker undermines Japan's chances of success.

STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.

Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown, II. J., writes:
 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I cannot be. gin to tell you how suffered before taking your remedies. l was so weak that could hardly walk across the floor without falling. had womb trouble and such bearing-down feeling; also suffered with my back and limbs, pain in womb, inflammation of the bladder, piles and indigestion. Before had taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound felt great deal better, and after taking two and one- half bottles and half a box of your Liver Pills was cured. If more would take your medicine they would not have to suffer so much"
 Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St., Warren, Pa., writes:
 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf- fered with womb trouble over fifteen years. I had inflammation, enlarge ment and displacement of the womb. had the backache constantly, also headache. and was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times chok- ing me. I could not walk around and could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast I would feel as though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. 1 was so weak 1 conld not do any thing.
 "I have now taken several bot ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and used three pack ages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink hams medicine had not helped me-"

company, however, is not of this opinion. They have been paid in full for the tract of land bought by the Addyston company and believe that the plant will be built.
 There will be a union service at the First Methodist church tomorrow night. The Moody dispensary bill will be discussed by the Revs, H. w. Film, W. R. Ivey, and G. w. Read, pastors of tho Presbyterian, Bap- tist and Methodist churches, respectively. There will also probably be speakers from Birmingham.

TIPS FROM SENATOR'S

Washington Letter in the New York World Although the senate is popularly known as the "Millionaires Club" the individual members are not as rule given to liber- ality. This is what the white-aproned serv- ants who look after the senator's wants in the restaurant say. The writer asked one of the old walters today if he would rather wait on senators than on sports. He grin ned and said:
 "Ders no compa' son. Gimme de sports. ''
 How much do you average each day from tips?"
 Usually bout $2.''
 'Who are the star tip men?"
 "Well, l reckon MT. Hanna, MT. Lodge MT. Warren and Mr. Smith come near bein' the bestest. O cose dere are oders, but desc ah my men-gimme desc four an I wants no more.'
 The old waiter is right in what he says. Seniors are not prodigal in giving tips. The little page boys, who are paid $2.50 a day, make little outside of their salaries. The writer has seen senators give pages a nickel to get two postage stamps, and take the penny change.

HOW DELEGATES SHOULD BE ELECTED
From the Columbian Chronicle.

From the COlumD1dn CnrOnlcle.
 We have to suggest at this time that the democratic party provide for the nomina- tion of delegates from the state at large by primaries to be held by senatorial dis tricts, in which every white man, regardless of past political utilization, who will agree to vote for the convention and support the nominee of the primary be invited to par ticipate. Following this, let every county committee provide for the same method of selection. This will pave the way for all white men who believe in white rule to come together for the future welfare of their common interests, and leave none an excuse for remaining outside the family altar. It will destroy the only weapon the ofhceholder will have to use in appealing to the prejudices of the people for their own interests It will give his constituency chance to do what his party leaders win never do, and it will give the democratic party a chance to demonstrate its loyalty to the peoples interests We offer this as a suggestion to our party officials, and take this occasion to serve notice that the pro- position will be submitted to the executive committee of this county when it meets.

NEW COLLEGE.
Proposition by Northern Parties to Els

Columbana, January 21-(Special.)- .)-The Commercial association held its regular monthly meeting last night, at which time a proposition from northern parties was considered, in which they offer to furnish as much as s5,000, if the people here will furnish an equal amount for the purpose of establishing a college. In the event such a deal is made, the already commodious public school building will be enlarged and fitted up for the use of the new school.
 A proposition was also considered to es- tablish a local telephone exchange, and an effort will be made to get connection with the long distance telephone at Caera.

 POLICE COURT ,

Charley Bidell and Georgia Edwards col ored were sweethearts; or, in the parlance of the police court, Charley was her "fel- Ter" The inevitable lovers quarrel came, and in this case, as both of them were more or less drunk, it came "good and strong" Georgia had Charley arrested for assault ing and battering her, and left it to Judge Feagin to clear up the difficulty and make the pathway of their true love to run smooth again. It is to be doubted whether the judges remedy was a balm for their broken hearts, but it will impress upon them that their next lovers quarrel must not be so demonstrative. He fined Charley $5 and costs for dsorderly conduct, but ac- quilted him of assault and battery, making Georgia pay the costs in that case, as 1t seems that she had been the aggressor in the fight.
