In the Sam Jones tabernacle in Nashville 1000 people attended his three performances, and at Philadelphia, his last engagement he drew nearly 200 900 people in his six weeks record breaking engage ment.
 A reporter of the Age Herald interviewed Jim and 'his trainer, Dr. Key, at the invita- ton of MT. Rogers of New York, Jim Keys owner, and asked Dr. Key how he had taught him to read, write, spell, count, fig ure etc. He said:
 'I began to teach him when ne was one year old First, l taught him to lie down and roll, and soon after that to give symp- toms of bots and collie. Next he learned how to make believe that he lame and act as though he were suffering with diff ferent kinds of troubles, the general symp- toms of which he would reproduce. 1 had him learn to bring me different things and then to learn different coors. The hardest thing l had to teach him was to learn how I way it tied to the bridle, but Jim would always spit it out.

ADAMS FUNERAL
 WILL OCCUR TODAY Remains Will Rest Beside Those of His Brave Companion. FELLOW . OFFICERS MOURN Post-Mortem Was Held and the Bullet Located Near the Heart-Move-
 ment Started For Monu-
 ment Fund
FELLOW : OFFICERS MOURN

Scarcely had the intense sorrow resulting from the death of Officer George w. Kirk ley worn away, when the Birmingham po- lice department was again plunged into grief over the death of Patrolman J. III. Adams.
 When the policemen were shot by the safebo'wers it was thought that both would recover. In a few hours, however, it was seen that Klrkley's wound was fatal. He passed away, and the whole city was in sorrow The only consolation then offered to the brother officers and friends of the unfortunate men WAs that Officer Adams would probably recover. But, like brave Kirkeys, his condition rapidly grew worse and pneumonia set in, resulting From the frishtful wound near tie shoulder. He fingered longer than his companion, but deaths grasp was upon him, and despite the efforts of lhe physicians he succumbed to the murderers bullet.
 Will Rest Beside KirkIey
 After a consultation between the heads of the department and the relatives of the deceased officer, it was decided that his remains be laid beside those of his brave out unfortunate companion in Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral will take place from the family residence this afternoon and the body will then be escorted to its final resting place.
 A post mortem examination of the body oi tho dead patrolman was had yesterday morning by Dr. Whelan and his associates, and tns bullet which caused his death was found in the region of his heart. After striking the collar bone the Dall turned downward, and if it had gone tli an inch further death would probably have been il stantaneous. After carefully examining the bullet it was found to be of SS-caliber and evidently of Smith X Wesson manu- lecture. The doctors now wonder how the brave man lived so long.
 Monument Fund
 The movement towards raising a fund to erect monument to mark the spot where the two officers lie has been started. Chief Austin and Captain Weir have been ap- pointed a committee to receive subscrip- tions, and il is expected Iat a sufficient sum will be raised to pay this lasting trib- Ute to the officers who lost their lives in attempting to protect the property of the citizens of Birmin sham. It has been sug- seste1 that the monument be plain gran ite shaft to cost not exceeding $3G0.
 The Age-Herald will receive any subscrp- tions to the fund and will see that they are turned over to the proper persons in charge of the work.

Paul. If the evil doer be without the
gates of the city, where is the difference
in principle? Shall the nation do right
and suffer or do wrong and be at ease ?
The words of our Lord on the question
OF resistance have been quoted without
their qualifying words and circumstances.
Peter used the sword wrongtullv and
was reprimanded. Later our Lord
showed that, under different circumstan-
ces, he was favorable to force. On one
occasion he said; He that hath no
sword, let him sell his coat and buy one ;
He clearly meant to advise his followers
to neglect no ordinary precautions, and
clearly recommended self defence by force
OF arms. He wiled to allow evil to
work it's will on him, and spoke and ad-
vised accordingly. Such knowledge we
do possess. We have our natural iacul-
ties, and have the sword committed to
us, with conscience to direct it. Honest
collision between mankind is evidently a
law OF progress, whether its origin be
law OF man or law of Cod"
