HOW ALLISON BROKE A RECORD

Washington, March Ex-senator William
B. Allison knows a thing or two about en-
gineering legislation. AS chairman of the
appropriations committee the duty of press
ing the $2O,OO0,O0O indemnity for Spain de-
volved upon him. He got wind of a plan
on the part of Vest, German, Cockrell and
others to use the bill as means of further
discussing the Philippine question.
1t was getting along towards fnal adj
journment and Allison did not care to take
any chances with the bill. On Wednesday
the senate met at II o'clock. Vice. President
Hobart in the chair. Allison had the bill
in his hand Scarcely dozen senators were
in the chamber, when he hurried up to the
vice-president's stand and whispered some
thing in his ear.
Allison returned to his place, presented
the bill and it was being read third time
when Senator Vest entered the chamber,
approached Allison and said, whats this
going on?"
Allison laid his hand on Vests shoulder
and whispered in his ear fully a minute,
evidently telling funny story. while the
clerk hurriedly read the bill. The bill had
passed and Allison was still talking to the
Missouri senator.
The Iowan accomplished in FIVE minutes
a task that ordinarily would have con-
sumed a day or so.

RUHLIN WHIPS GODDARD.
The Akron Giant Was Two to One Fa-
vorite in the Betting.

New York, March 7.-Gus Rubin, OF Ak
ron, o., met and defeated Joe Goddard, of
Australia, in the fifth round of what was
to have been twenty-round bout before
the Lenox Athletic club tonight.
Both men stripped In excellent condition,
but Rubin had the call in the betting.
This was certainly justified by his appear
ance, and from the outset he held his op-
ponent cheaply. He evidently saw that Joe
could not Offset his rushes, and from the
very beginning forced the fighting. The
Australian went down frequently with
good cause, but toward the close OF the
contest he dropped without cause and was
deservedly disqualified. Rubin was q 2

Local Federation of Women's Clubs of Biz
mingham 1t will probably become also the
official organ of the Colonial Danes of Al
ALBANIA, and it aspires to be made the rep
resentative of the State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs.
AS there appears to be a certain degree
of confusion in the minds of the club women
of the state upon this question, brought
about by MISUNDERSTOOD causes, the an
nouncement is hereby made that the New
Era will make formal application before the
annual convention of the State Federation,
which will be held early in April at Mobile
to become the official organ of this impor-
tant organization of Alabama women.
1t has been understood by the parties
most concerned in this matter that the
final decision regarding an official organ
unbiased by any previous influences, would
be left to the action of the convention at
Mobile Such being the facts in the case
the New Era's claims to recognition and
endorsement will be placed before the dele
gates of the convention.
Representing, as this paper does, so many
influential feminine organizations, ii is am
bilious to stand for every club in the state
Published weekly, as it is, at the club CEN
ter of Alabama, and already the official or
gan of the Birmingham Womens Clubs, it
will go to the convention with very strong
claims upon the attention and interest of
the delegates.
Before the New Era was published last
August a very persistent effort was made
to have the paper appointed the represent
atfve of the State Fedora ton, but without
avail. The application for the coveted hon.
or will be duly presented to the annual con-
vention of the State Federation at Mobile,
notice of which is now given.

Miss Wheeler Will
Probably Go to Manila

The papers state that Miss Annie Early
Wheeler, who at present is in Washington,
will probably go to Manila as a volunteer
nurse. Since the close of the war she has
taken a special course of study at ST.
Luke's hospital, New York, not for the pur-
pose of becoming a trained nurse. but sim
ply for the love of the work in which she
rendered such effective service IN the Gu
ban hospitals and on the battlefields. Sin
gularly enough, this course of study is like
ly to be brought into most effectual play
during the coming twelve months in man.
ner unlocked for at the time by this daugh-
ter of the wars most distinguished SOL
diers.
Washington writer says that Miss
Wheeler's ambition-and with her ambition
and achievement are synonymous-is to go
to Manila as volunteer nurse. In this, as
was the case when, ignoring the advice and
admonition of her friends, she started off
for Cuban hospitals in the early summer,
Miss Wheeler is actuated by the desire to
be near and render service to her father.
General Wheelers fondest dream at the
present time-his overwhelming desire--ts
is to, be sent to Manila. For this he will
make no application, as he modestly asserts
ne WILL IN all Things, conform TO the preSi-
dents idea as to where and how he can be
of the greatest service to his country; but
should the chief executive issue the longed-
for order to duty in the Philippines. Gen
era1 Wheeler will drop everything and, If
need be, go straight to the transport named
in his military order. In this case Miss
Wheeler will either accompany her father
or follow him to the Philippines to resume
there the duties of volunteer nurse so ably
discharged In Cuba. 1t will be remembered
that several weeks ago there was intro
duced in congress bill by Representative
Joy of Missouri to thank Miss Wheeler for
her services as volunteer nurse during the
war with Spain. The inception of tho bill
was a story as pathetic as it is unusual
Representative Joy was one day in the ear
ly winter walking along the streets in ST.
Louis, when he was approached by a man
in the uniform of a United States soldier
Touching his hat in military salute, the
soldier inquired if the one to whom he spoke
was not a member of congress. Upon re-
ceiving a reply In the affirmative, the SOL
der responded:
''For Gods sake sir, introduce bill in
congress to thank Miss Wheeler for the
lives she saved In Cuba!'

J. R. Elard was the candidate for mayor
who favored the issuance of bonds for pub

Elard won by vote of 259 to So. His al

majority
The vote in detail is as follows

1t was the most holly contested primary
Ayondale has ever experienced, yet the
people kept in a remarkably good humor
Only one difficulty occurred and that was
between two negroes. One knocked the
other down, and that was the end of it.
Tho negro vote went almost solidly for
Ellard.
Suydam Gone at Noon
The Suydam forces had two carriages at
work, driving furiously from one place to
another, rallying their voters. They work.
ed heroically, but at noon it was apparent
that their candidate did not stand the
slightest show. At 2 o'clock it was an
nounced that the vote stood 81 to 20 in favor
of Ellard, which caused the Suydam crowd
to loose hope, though they stubbornly
maintained that their man was not yet de-
feated, and still had fighting chance. At
o'clock three to one was offered on Ellard,
but found no takers. One enthusiastic
Ellardite offered as high as ten to one, but
his money. The result was officially an
nounced shortly after o'clock.
1T was q political landslide" said one
man, that relegated Suydam and his, can
didates to political obscurity for the pres
ent at least. My guess was that Ellard
would defeat Suydam by to l VOTE and
he did it, too, with one to spare.
His Third Term
This will be Mr.. I1llard's third term All
of the old councilmen were also reelected,
with the exception of Mr.. Sumner, who de-
clined to make the race, G. T. Roberts be-
ing elected in his stead.
As will be seen by the results above,
Ellard lead the ticket with 259 votes, Dr.
Martin being a close second with 256 The
smallest number polled was n, by s. A.
Jones.
The registration book shows 4O5 names,
the largest number ever recorded in a mu-
nicipal election. Probably a dozen were
registered only about two minutes before
polls were closed, and were forced to run
for 1t, arriving barely in time.

They Fought at Franklin.

Mr.. A. H. Langley, of this city, re-
lates recent pleasant experience that
recalls one not quite so pleasant. He
has again taken charge of man he
captured about thirty-four. years ago
and is inficting OH, him all the kindness
he is capable of. 1t came about in this
way:
About two weeks ago Mr.. Langley
was on Main Street, when man III the
blue uniform of the kind the Confedc
rates used to shoot at with great unc-
ton, came along and stared him full in
the face, grabbed his hand and ex-
pressed pleasure and surprise in terms
more earnest than elegant. Mr.. Lang
ley could not recall any acquaintance
with the man in blue until reminded Of
warm occasion in 1864 around Frank
lin, Tennessee. He soon got his recol-
lection to work and it all came back to
him, how he and anumber of comrades
of Co. D, 10Th S. c. Regiment, dashed
through the Federal lines and got in
the trenches with the Federal soldiers,
capturing many Of them. He remem-
bered carrying back to his command in
triumph a slim yankee boy. He
saw much of his captive later and
formed regard for him, but in the
rush of events he had forgotten him.
This captive, Union soldier then, a
Union soldier now recognized his cap
tor and called him friend. In the last
few weeks they have spent many hours
recalling the incidents of that other
and sure enough war.
Mr.. Langley's captive is named Nc
Grath, and he is with the Fourth Mis-
souri, regiment. He is too old to be
enlisted, but he stays with the boys
and does soldiers duty. He was
lately under arrest for missing a roll
call while visiting his whilom enemy.
He is pensioner by reason OF service
in the war between the States.
A great many people are interested
in this little romance, and are pleased
at this marked exhibition of human
change and chance that is really
rs strange as fiction.-Grcenrillc Noun
