JULES VERNE.

Jules Verne, the indefatigable au-

ably unique feat of having written six
more books than the number of years
he has lived. Miss Braddon, amongst
English writers, perhaps most nearly
approaches this marvellous literary
record.

Britons and Boers.

The battle of Farquhars farm is still dis cussed with considerable bitterness in En- gland; but the live question of moment re- lates to the retention by Gen. White of un- broken railway communication to Durban, about hundred miles, Twenty miles away is Colenso, an important point Thus far no intelligence has been received, going to show that telegraphic or railway com munication in Whites rear has been cut by Boer cavalrymen. It is surmised that Gen. eral Joubert will attempt to concentrate his forces at Colenso. As Ladysmith Is provisioned for two months this might not lead to it's evacuation. A direct assault OH Ladysmith is evidently not to the taste of the Boers.
 The disaster at Farquhar's hill will soon be overcome. The length of the passage. to Capetown is three weeks, and to Durban the spot by December in numbers suf- ficient to meet any Boer attack. The Boers decline to attempt selges. In a month more forward movement will be begun. that all the Boers under arms cannot stop. The result not changed in the least respect at Farquhar's Hill, unless it be in the terms of settlement, which were made all the harsher.
 It should never be forgotten that this war is on the part of England an absolutely, just war. The Boers invited and welcomed the outlanders to their country, for they Dos sessed neither skill nor capital with which to carry on deep mining for gold The Boers soon began to tax them unmercifuly, and then they took away all their civil and po- litical rights, never remitting any taxes, however. They were politically serfs Their condition became so hopeless and insupportable that they at length asked England. the suzerain, to succor them
 Taxation without representation, without any political rights whatever, would never be submitted to in America. It is wholly and utterly un-American. England is fighting for equal rights for all, no mat ter what the.r nationality may be, and in- cidently for paramountcy in South Africa The civilization of interior Africa is at stake, for the Boer could never accomplish, that, and the Brlton alone can. Whether We look at the war as a matter of the worlds progress, CT as a matter of liberty for the individual it is on England's part unselfish and wholly praisworthy. The Boers are brutal. backward fanatics. and any sympathy expended over iaem Is mis- placed.

dered at Santiago!
Birminaham and Pittsburg.

All should read Colonel A. M. Shocks ar ticle elsewhere printed In it the great Pennsylvania iron and steel center is com- pared to Birmingham, the iron and steel center of the south. In the comparison 1t appears that each has been bountifully sup piled by nature with coal, but that Pitts burg has to transport its ores 1000 miles, while Birmingham has practically inex- haustible quantity within distance of twenty miles.
 Birmingham does lack accumulated capi- tai, but MT. Shook shows that it's iron and steel industries have two strong and faith full allies in the Louisville and Nashville and the Southern railroads, both managed with Pittsburgs water transportation will soon be matched in the Warrior improvement and Van Hoose's canal.
 But Pittsbur's surprising strength lies in the fact that it does not market pound of pig iron, although it makes 3,OO0,0OO tons year. Here is a lesson to be pondered. Pittsburg cannot afford to sell iron in an unfinished state. It aims to carry it's iron to finished forms that will bring in the most money. It may not manufacture watch springs, bu it is steadily pulling in that di rection. Pitsburg's example is an object lesson to us, and this is what MT. Shook de- sires the people of this district to under stand and appreciate.
 MT. Shook finds much in Birmingham's favor when compared with Pittsburg He finds that the raw materials can here be assembled at lowest cost He finds more lumber and more cotton here, and bet ter climate. But all these advantages will be comparatively valueless If we continue to market our products in an unfinished state. Fortunately for all this district is preparing to follow in the footsteps of mighty Pittsburg It cannot do better It's pig iron should be basic pig iron; it's basic pig iron should become steel; it's steel should be turned into manufactured goods. Mr. Shook clearly presents this lesson and the Age-Herald suggests a careful reading of his excellent paper by all who love Bir mingham and have faith in it's future.

Such betting as this can't be stopped and will probably be indulged in here, as it is every where else.
 England has big job on her hands in her battle with the Boers. Casualties ID. to date in the English army in South Africa, after but two weeks of war, have been greater than the entire casualties on the American side during the recent war with spain. The casualties among the English officers have been almost as great as snong the privates. This is perhaps due to the fact that in the English army there is an unwritten law that officers shall always be in the front ranks and shall remain stand- ing, even though the prlyates may be close ly hugging the ground. Every American. and especially every Irish-Amer.can. is proud of the work of the Royal Irish Fusi- leers. That there are no better soldiers on earth than the Irish has been proven in many wars, but never more thoroughly than by this gallant Irish regiment in the South African contest
 Eventually England will conquer the Boers, but it will be no easy task It will require the full 10000 troops which have been called for, and it will take many months-perhaps year or more-to end the contest. The Boers are a hardy and cour- ageous race. They have lived for nearly century to themselves, dependent upon their own resources; their lands are fertile and productive and their food supply is ample, rendering them independent of for eign aid They are thoroughly armed and equipped, good shots, well supplied With ar tillery and ammunition and are capable of holding out for a long period. No man can predict when the end of this war will be-
 
 Mayor Drennen, of Birmingham, has re-
 gently been to New York He was there
 for several days. He is an interested stu
 dent of municipal affairs. For the past
 three months he has been giving close study to the facts and figures of the gov ernments of cities all over this country He has been comparing the cost of public necessities in Birmingham with the cost of the same in other cities. He may make strong recommendations to the board of aldermen soon. Such action his part is highly probable. There are quite number of reforms which could be brought about in Birmingham. Mayor Drennen is strictly a business man, and I would not be sur prsed to hear some interesting facts from him ere many months have passed. l see the mayor combined pleasure with business in New York. He called on Miss Helen Gould and invited her to Birming- ham. Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, who
 introduced Birminghams mayor, tells the story that Miss Gould appeared more gra- cous to him than to any one he had ever seen in this distinguished young woman's presence None of us can tell what is go- ing to happen in this word but we all know that Admiral Dewey recently made business trip to Washington to report to the president, and soon thereafter made surprising social announcement.

Manual Training in Public Schools.

At the beginning of the present school year manual training was introduced into the public schools of Columbus, Ga. Two l graduates of the Pratt institute, New York, were engaged to take charge of the work In the white schools, and two graduates of Booker T. Washington's school to do like work in the schools of that city filled with negro children.
 The white people of Columbus are very enthusiastic in praise of the new work. In the schools three and a half hours each day are divided between cooking, sewing and working in wood. The sewing ex- tends from the fifth to the ninth grade; the cooking from the seventh to the ninth, and the woodworking from the fifth to the ninth grade The girls take very readily to the sewing and cooking. After a little over a months practice some of the girls who could hardly thread a needle when they began, are now very handy, and are able to render valuable help to their mothers in the family sewing. The cooking lessons have already put an end to some of the crude ideas practiced in the hcmes. The boys are fully as interested the girls. Thus far they have been occupied in fitting up rooms for the girls and themselves. They have made tables, closets, shelves drawers, and whatever else was needed. Their tachers report that their skill has, in many. instances, has been turned to good account in repairs on their homes. They are very short of tools, but the boys, in order to meet their needs. have bought their own tools, and the girls have furnished mate rials for cooking and sewing
 It is the purpose of the superintendent of the Columbus schools to make the new in- struetion very practical. The children will be taught not only malral training. but the making of useful articles. the repairing of buildings, and, as far as possible, what ever work will help them, when they go out of school toward making living. The parents are very much encouraged and it is hoped that one result will be the keeping of the boys in school to the end of the course. The school board of Columbus con sists of excellent and enterprisng men, and it is their purpose to make a fair trial in both schools, and, if it be promising. to add, as soon as they conveniently can, work in iron and leather

The Aqe-HeraId Today.

In this issue the New Age-Herald be- gins it's third winter of active and progress sive life Like Birmingham, it has grown and prospered. Today it becomes necessary to print forty pages, that all the advertisers who desire may have space, and in order to set forth what there is to Birmingham, to- gether with the current news of the day.
 This will be a gala week in Birmingham. Building and business will in part be ob- liberated from the minds of the citizens in order that they may turn out and welcome gallant Admiral Schey, and enjoy a week of festivities within the state fair grounds. The fair makes no pretense to having the handsomest buildings or the largest grounds of any exposition given in the south. From this point of view it is modest; yet there will be everything within it's confines to furnish agricultural and mechanical infor- nation, and there will be more than the usual pleasant acquisitions of fairs and expositions. The cattle and horse show will be feature and the racing will be the best seen in the south for many years. Indeed, there will be ample amusement for all classes of people.
 When the fair is over, the Birmingham Deople will again turn their attention to the upbuilding of this great manufacturing city. As stated in another column, more that five million dollars has been spent in building new manufacturing plants within the past year, not to speak of the many hundreds of thousands of dollar invested in opening new coal and ore mines.
 v The Age-Herald, in the futuce. will tell, day by day, as it has in the past, of the up- building of the Birmingham district. It will continue 10 give the news-all of it-and give it first. It will likewise give 1t daily every day in the year.
 Beginning tomorrow morning .-he Age Herald will print an issue every Monday morning, as we'll as every other morning in the year. When necessary it will print ex- tra editions throughout the day in order that its readers may always get the news fresh in its bloom.
