WANTS MORE SHIPS.
Admiral Dewey Requests That More
 Vessels be Sent Him.

Washington, March S0.-(Special)-T president is still undecided whther to enlist the full one hundred thousand men or not. The president does not want to increase the army over the present force unless necessary to establish peace in the Philip pines. General Corbin said today that he thought the present force now in the Phil ippines would be sufficient to put down the rebels there. provided no assistance could reach them from the outside.
 Admiral Dewey has asked for more men and ships, so it was stated at the navy de- partment this morning. It was further said that this request was nos made on account of any change in the condition, but in order to perfect the control and make it efficient and complete against filibustering exped!- tionS.
 It was said here today, though 1t could not be verified at the war department, that General Wheeler would be ordered to Ma nila at an early date It is pretty well understood that he will not be mustered out now, but will be- given a command in the Philippines, where he is desirous to be sent.

 "A white man, what works in a furni- ture store," was the cause of a pretty lit- tie row between three of Birmingham's col ored maidens. Officer Patton says that he heard loud cries of murder" at Alley c, Wednesday night, and on investigation, found Evelina Barney, Pearl Debson and Suvilla Harris mixed up in a general melee. Evelina was doing the yelling, and when the officer pulled the girls apart, she was found with an open knife in her hand. She claimed before Judge Feagin yesterday morning that the other two girls had jump ed on her and although she had knife, she didn't use it. The judge put Evelina's assailants through a severe cross examina- tion, and from their conflicting stories it became evident that they had followed Evelina from Morris avenue to Alley c, and had there attacked her.
 Suvilla and Pearl, on the other hand claimed that Eveina was "followin alter a white man what works in a furniture Store," and that she would do dirt" to any grl-"girl was not the exact word used, though-whom she caught with him. also that she had accused Suvilla of vio- lating this Injunction, and had slapped her
 Judge Feagin though that Suvilla and Pearl were to blame for the affray, and fined them accordingly, acquitting Evelina
 Sophronia Mitchell, black, was fined for walking on the streets after o'clock, and John Caraway, also colored, for walking with her.

 "I tell you, judge, 1t war too cold to work, so I run erway," said Will Graham, charged with escaping from the prison.
 Why didn't you keep on running and get away from Birmingham for good ?" asked the judge, as Will was escorted be- hind the bars to serve out his fine.
 Other convictions yesterday were Lewis Morris, yellow; Tom Graham, black and Pen Cost, white, for disorderly conduct

 Ut is mighty hard to make good Chris tian out of hungry man. A negro goes home from church, where he has been shouting and praying, as a negro so loves tosido, and if he finds nothing to eat at nome, he very generally goes out and finds something to eat before morning"
 The audience applauded Professor Wash iDgton for over a minute on a story of old negro woman in Mississippi He sad that she went into an Episcopal church one day and took her seat away in the rear, and as the rector began to preach this good old aunty, as was her custom, began to moan and clap her hands. Her demonstration practically broke up the services, and one of the officers of the church went back to stop her.
 What's the matter with you, aunty, are you sick?"
 "No, sir; Tse happy; Tse got religion. Yes, sir, Tse got relgion!'
 "Why, don't you know" said the officer, without thinking, "bhat this isn't the place to get religion?'
 Will Not Attend Dollar Dinner
 As is well known, Professor Booker Washington, the colored teacher, who spoke at the Lyceum last night, has been invited to be present at the famous "dol- lar-dinner" which is to be given in New York on Jeffersons birthday, April 19, at which William J. Bryan and so many other prominent democrats of the United States will be present.
 Professor Washington when seen last night, said that he had as yet received no invitation from any of the managers of the dinner, and didn't want to put himself in the position of declining invitation he was not going to receive, but that if the invitation did come, he would 'be com pelled to decline it, as much as l appre- ciate it."
 He said that the New York Journal tele- graphed him the other day asking him if he intended accepting this invitation.

RELAY RACE At OXFORD.
summey, the Last Runner Won for
the Freshman CInss

Oxford, Ga, Nov. THE annual relay
race was finished here just at dark Mon
day evening, the freshman class carrying
off the associations banner. The time
was 50 minutes and 20 seconds, the last
runner being H. H. Summey.
The relay is an event in the college year
which all look to with great anticipation.
It is, undoubtedly, TO the student, the
brightest date in the college calendar.
The distance covered in the race is ten
miles, and that covered by each man is
one mile. The starting point is at the
little town of Walnut Grove, ten miles
north of this place. For weeks the boys
have been training hard for this contest,
and the winning team well deserves 10
hold the banner.
Every afternoon from evening chapel I'M
Ill dark, and from sunrise until morning
chapel, they have been pracuciug. NO
time has been lost nor efforts spared by
the team managers to put them in shape
for the contest.
At 1870 a. M the runners started for
Walnut Grove in carriages provided for
each team. AT the end of the tenth mile,
in Oxford, there were at least 500 people
who had come from Covington and other
points to witness the race.
Enthusiasm prevails among the boys at
this end of the line. Each class had a
good representation here who gave their
yells and sang their class songs, while
their cOlors were floating everywhere. All
eyes were turned towards the track, where
the tenth mile men would come.
Long they waited for a glimpse of them.
But just as the sun, in all its splendor,
was bidding farewell to this section of the
country, there was shout; instantly all
eyes were turned upon the track, where a
quarter of a mile up, the four runners
were coming abreast. AT the sight of
this enthusiasm burst forth again in loud
er terms than ever. Glass yells rent the
air. and class coors fioated everywhere,
and amid the shouting and confusion
Summary came in ahead and won the
lauTels for his class
In 1S97-9S the present senior class won
the banner but last year came out third.
In 1S9S-99 the present sophomore class car
ried off the honors, but this year they
had only three of the old runners back.
This year the order of finish was, fresh
man. senior. sophomore, junior.

Truth and Fable About the Camel.
From the Cornhin Magazine.

There are many fables told about the
camel. Riding him is supposed to make
people seaslck. He has the reputation of
being very vicious. He is supposed 10 have
several stomachs, and 10 go for several
weeks without water as matter Of
choice. | can only say that in nearly four
years OF eXper ence have never met with
a case of seasickness or heard of it; neith-
eT have l known a really vicious camel
except when they are in a state called by
tho Arabs "saim," which means "fas ing"
and corresponds TO the "Tutting" periods
in stays. AS regards the cameFs stomach
/ believe it is idenucally the same as that
of any other ruminaut, or that at any
rate, there is no formation of omachs
which would enable him 10 do without wa
ter.
His abstinence is merely the result of
training, and ii is a falfacy to suppose that
he is better without water or can work as
well. In the camel corps we watered our
camels every second day i'm the summer
every third day in winter, giving them
their fill Of water morning and evening on
those days, but if in the summer we eX-
pected a long desert march without wa
ter, We trained them beforehand by only
watering every third day But | never
found that this improved their condition
The Arabs keep their cameTs longer with
out water it is true but then they travel
slower, and their animals are grazed on
soft food. containing a certain amount Of
moisture. This lowers their condit on and
makes hem inferior to corn-fed camel
when hard work and lcng, fast journeys
have TO be done.
We always found that if We put a grass
fed Arab camel alongside of ours 1t failed
in work and endurance. If corn-fed IL cried
out for water as soon as and sooner than
ours did. / say "cried out" because a
camel when il wants water means contin-
ually and there is 10 mere painful sound
al night in the desert than the ceaseless
moaning of thirsty camels.
