THE RoTHscHILD LITTER.

One of the strongest pieces of evidence adduced
before the Court of Cessation was a letter which
purported to have been written to Esterhazy by his
uncle AS matter Of fact It was proven that this
was forged by the nephew. In this epstle the uncle
who for years had supplied the nephew with cash,
was made to say that in consequence of the latters
marked friendship for Dreyfus he the uncle, washed
his hands OF him for all and good. Esterhazy for
warded this letter to Baron Rothschild and asked
that the banker, in view of his having forfeited his
unce's good will, advance him 10000 francs to be
used in Dreyfus's defence No answer was made to
this, but later 1000 francs were sent to Ester
hazy and on Rothschild's book opposite the amount
was the entry, g For the poor of Paris"
But here is the strong point. This letter was
written on the same paper and in the same hand as
the famous bordereau" and the identical sentence

Mr. Cohen is exceedingly proud of the fact that
his predictions to the satisfactory of the
case have been verified, and in concluding patriot
cally remarked: Next year, 1900, La Belle France
will be La Belle France again."

communicated this to her husband, who treated the
matter as a joke. and in the midst of his amusement

The Earth's Weight.

Professor Rioharz and DR.. Krigar
Menzel of Berlin announce, as the
result of investigations extending
over IL years, that the density of
the earth is such that the globe
weighs 54,6s1, 900, 900, 600, 900 tons. I"
The odd trillion gives such an air of
extreme accuracy to the statement
that one is almost tempted to in
quire whether the Berliners use the
French or the English system of no
tation in making their computa-
tions. 1t would make quite diff
ference-on paper = according to
whether the one or the other method
were employed, but somehow the
yearning to clear up the uncertainty
is not very strong. ~ New York

IN MEMORIAM.
Expressions of the Eastern Star on
the Death of Mrs. Badgett.

Whereas, Mrs. Mamie Badgett,
a member of Purity chapter No.
Is, 0. E. S., was called from
among US upon June 23rd, 1899, it
is meet and proper that express
sion be given of the sorrow we
feel and of the hope that comes as
a solace for our wounds. To the
bereaved family we extend our
sympathy, mingling our tears with
theirs. Why the Creator has seen
tit to remove from our midst the
last member to cross our portals
and bow at our sacred altar, and
by the same dispensation take
from the home a loving and de.
voted wife and mother, will never
be revealed to US this side the
veil. But turning to the great
light which adorns our altar we
read, BLESSED are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God,"
and are strengthened and encour-
aged to say, THY will be DONE"
Our hope and the hope of all
mankind in the hour of bereave.
which makes life en-
durable to the living-is found in |
the answer to the question, "If !
man die, shall he live again?" and
we hold up our heads and are
strengthened.
The example of devotion to
'amily, to friends and to duty
which our sister has placed before
is we commend as worthy of emu
alton. Her daily life was a con-
'lstent answer TO the query, "Who

1t is directed that our charter be
Iraped in mourning and this mem.
rial be spread upon our records

Gray Gets a Job

Washington, March 29.-Former Senator George Gray, of Delaware, has been ap- pointed United States circuit judge for tho Third circuit.
 Senator Gray's term expired at the close of the last congress. His service in that body began March 19, 1885. when t1e was appointed to i'll the vacancy caused by the appointment of Thomas F. Bayard as sec- retary of state. Senator Gray was recog- nized as one of the leading democrats of that body, and was recently a member of the commission which met at Paris to pre- pare the treaty of peace with Spain, and was also a member of the United States and Canadian joint high commission.

It is not likely that the land company will rebuild the university, at any rate not at the present time, so it would seem that the recent fire has robbed Bessemer of a splendid educational institu- tion not soon to be replaced.
 While there Is comparatively little build ing going on just now, painters, paper hangers and carpenters are kept busy making repairs and generally improving the appearance of Bessemers homes

SOUTHERN PUBLISHERS.
Afternoon Associated Press Papers Wi II
 Be Admitted.

Richmond, Va, March 29.--The Southern Publishers association reconvened this morning with President Ochs in the chair. The first business transacted was the cleo tion of officers for the ensuing year. Col c. O. B. Cowardin of the Richmond Dis patch, the vice president, was unanimously elected president. Leland Rankin of the Nashville American was elected vice presi- dent, and A. R. Holderby Jr., of the Rich- mond Times was made secretary and treas urer.
 The following directors were elected: C. P. J. Mooney, Memphis Commercial-Ap- peal; l.. J. Brooks, Jackson (Tenn.) Whig; George w. Ochs, Chattanooga Times; S. s. Nottingham, Norfolk Landmark; Clark Howell, Atlanta Constitution; R. M. John son, Houston Post, and J. c. Hemphil, Charleston News and Courier.
 The following resolution was offered and after some discussion was ordered on the table until the next semi-annual meeting:
 Resolved That the bylaws of this asso- citation be and are hereby so amended that evening papers taking the Associated Press news shall be eligible to membership.
 The association then adopted resolutions of thanks to the chairman and press bodies and to the people of the city for courtesies shown them, and to retiring President Ochs.
 After some discussion it was decided to meet next year in New Orleans, and the association adjourned sine die to meet at the call of the president within six months at the city designated.
 The representatives of the association were then taken in hand by commercial bodies of the city and shown various points of interest.

Valedictory, made by John w. Barksdale was chaste and full of feeling. Ihe graduating class consisted of: John Woodson Barksdale, Richmond Va Fred Eustis Davis, MonteWallo. William Cowden Miles, Wymond. Ala.
 David William Class, Birmingham.

 It is a noteworthy fact that Miss White IS the first woman who has ever received an M. DIS diploma in Alabama. She ws. naturally the exposure of many eyes as she sat modestly to the right of the class She has singularly intellectual face and singularly charming grace of manner, and her white gown garnished with silver was extremely becoming.
 Well may Birmingham feel elated over the Birmingham Medical college and its success. Its faculty is able and conscien- tious and every member of it is a gentle man. This latter remark may not seem to every one to be of high importance, and yet the public appreciates full we'll and every right-minded man, and woman. knows full well that with all the science and Knowledge imaginable, a doctor of medicine is far short if he be not gen. tleman by breeding and by habit. This quality of good breeding and refinement in the Birmingham faculty, therefore, counts --and counts for great deal.
 But what the friends of the college lay especial stress on is the high educational standard of the institutions; Its equipment, ness. From the scientific point of view 1t is the equal of any in the country. It is far above any institution Of its profess ional character in the state, and, perhaps, in the whole south. With scientific ap- paratus it is well supplied, while in its clinical department 1t has practical advant- ages in many ways. In the first place, the college is located in an iron working and mining district which necessarily furnishes a large number of wounds and other ail- merts to be healed. And in the next place, it is in proximity to number of hospitals that furnish many clinical patients-pa- tients of peculiar interest The students have the privilege of attending all the clinics in these hospitals.
 Young men from the south formerly went north to attend medical colleges This was perhaps natural, when the institutions of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore held out so many more inducements than any southern colleges did But conditions have changed. and a medical student will do just as well in the line of his studies right here in Birmingham, and at one-third or one-half the cost, as he would do In New York or Philadelphia. Medical science has made marvellous strides in the past few years. and the Birmingham Medical college has kept fully abreast of all medi- cal progress.

ANOTHER RIOT.
Seamen of American Navy Disgrace
 Themselves at Kingston.

Kingston, Jamaica, March 29.-Another riot among sailors of the United States fleet ashore on leave of absence, occurred last night during which the men fought a number of water police and civilians, re- sulting in the combatants receiving plenty of contusions. The most seriously injur- ed were William Lynch of the Brooklyn, and Edward Barry of the Texas, who were removed to the hospital, the former suf- ferng from a fractured skull and the lat ter from a smashed face. Lynch and the two sailors of the Texas, Green and Arm strong, who were injured during the riot ing on Monday night, are said to be in a critical condition. In consequence of the riotous conduct of the sailors shore leave has been stopped.
