IN AN AFRICAN HOME.
Natives Will Not Work When They
Get Chance to Play.

The Rev. David Carson, graduate
of the Union Missionary Training In
stitute, Brooklyn, gives an interest
ing picture of his African home:
MY room in neat little hut of mud
and thatch and is twelve by fourteen
feet The bed is constructed with
branches, holes being augured in posts
for the sides and ends to be inserted
The support for the grass mattress is
of leather thongs laced across both
ways, thus holding all secure.
my chair is the same. The table
and washstand are of branches with
reed mat tops. There are no boards
The desk is the same, with the inside
case of my steamertrunk for top;
very good.
"The windows are of white cloth
tackled to a frame which can be open
ed right back and fastened to the wall
Hinges for doors and windows are OF
skin. No mats or rugs are used on
the floor, as they harbor insects"
Mr.. Carson is member of the in.
dustrial mission of the Phil-African
Liberators' league, located at Lincoln
on the west coast And the following
will illustrate the difficulties of teach
ing the African to work:
There is practically no routine
here. The unexpected most always
happens. Here is one day out of many
varieties. We rise with the sun, 5: 35
a. M, have private devotions from 6
to $50, then breakfast, after which
the rams horn is blown for native roll
call
"Our superintendent seats himself
outside his house; the associate work
ers, six of us, stand beside him while
he rattles off the names, to which the
people shout 'ame'-the personal pro-
noun |.
He then asks us how many helpers
we need in our various departments.
We begin to calculate, and he calls
those qualified for certain kinds of
work, when there is a terrible barking
down in the valley and a shrieking
like that of child.

bay with three wild dogs barking at
it. They see the rush of people, and
jealous of their prey pounce on him
and tear him limb from limb in a twin
King, so strong are their mouths and

"The rush of natives on the poor
dead beast is more terrific. it would
seem. than that of the dogs. They cut
him up, Indifferent as to whether they
have a rib, or a steak, or the tail, or

The consequence is, no work that
day; days pay is gladly forfeited for
such treat. Presbyterian Banner.

 FAIR GROU"'DS 
Exposition Building Destroyed at an Early Hour This Morn-
 ing-A Total Loss

At 3:SO o'clock this morning the Exposi- ton building at the Alabama State Fair grounds caught fire and in less than an hour Ii was burned to the ground. The Northside Fire Department made a run to the grounos, but arrived there too late to even attempt to save the building, which py this time was mass of flames. The hremen however, went to work with a will, and prevented the flames from spreading to the adjoining buildings. The value of the building was estimated at $250O, but whether there was any insurance could not be ascertained this morning The picket renee between the burned building and the race track was also destroyed
 The Exposition building was the proper ty Of MT. Gumpert of Evansville, Ind, and was leased to the new Alabama State Fair Association for six years.
 The building was to have been used as the Woman's Building during the coming State Fair.

l. I. -CURRAN DEAD
 AT ST. V|NCENT'S
Young Lawyer Passes Away After a Brief Illness
 of Fever.

E. Terence Curran. well known and highly esteemed as a young lawyer of Bir- mingham, died of typhoid fever at St. Vim cents hospital at twenty minutes to o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 MT. Curran fell i'll about week ago. From the outset his condition was very critical, as set forth in yesterdays Age Herald, and when he was taken to St. Vincents, which was done immediately. his temperature was 105 At the hospital the Sisters of Charity gave him the closest and most constant personal attention, di- rected by expert medical skill. He grew worse, and his friends were not permitted to see him. Father O'Reilly took warm in- terest in him, and at his request saw him frequently.
 There was a consultation of physicians yesterday forenoon, and they gave out the impression that MT. Curran could not live twenty-four hours. MT. Ed Winston, MT. Curran's personal friend, immediately tele- graphed to MT. Curran's brother in New York. The end came even more quickly than had been anticipated, and MT. Curran died with the cancellations of the Catholic church. in which faith he was born and had lived.
 MT. Curran came to Birmingham rom New York about two years ago, bringing letters of introduction to Father OReilly and several other well-known citzens. He had been educated at Georgetown Univer- sity, where he took the law course. and he began at once to qualify for admission to the Birmingham bar. He was admitted 10 the bar within few months, and has since practiced in the courts with constantly brightening prospects.
 MT. Curran was born in France of Irish American parents, but in his early life was taken to Dublin, Ireland, where he was partly reared, returning to the United states to be educated. His family reside in New York. He was about 2S years old and was a man of extraordinary physical strength; his chest measurements and muscular pow CTS being very great Personally he was Of the polished and courtly manners Of an ex- perienced man of the world, and he won the warm friendship of many men in Blrm- ingham, and the cordial esteem of the gem eral public.
 Father OReilly received telegram last night from MT. Curran's brother in New York, requesting that the remains be buried here. Therefore the funeral will take place from St. Pauls church at o'clock tnls afternoon. Interment will take place at the Catholic cemetery on the southside.

SUNDAYS WAR NEWS.
Cronje U~nyielding British Smelling
Not Doing Such Great Damage-Gat-
acre RepulSed.

Following is The Baltimore Suns
summary of the war news received up
TO the time of that papers going to
press yesterday morning:
That General Cronje has neither
yielded to the British nor forced his
way out is indicated by dispatches
from Paardeberg drift. Orange Free
State, where he has been defying Lord
Roberts army since Saturday of last
week. In Natal General Butler has
met unexpected opposition in his ad-
vance to the relief of Ladysmith, and
the Beers have been holding him at
bay at Grobler'S kloof, a high hill
sloping down to the Tugela river on
the northern side, opposite Colenso.
General Sir William Forbes Gatacre
has suffered a reverse at Schoeman's
farm. Northern Cape Colony, where
he advanced, met the Beers and was
compelled to retire after the burgherS
had poured in a deadly fire. These are
the leading developments of the South
African war as told in the latest dis
patches.
London is beginning to doubt the
tales of alleged horrors suffered by
General Cronje as set forth in most
of the censored British dispatches. A
dispatch received yesterday by The
IluO lIIltS Sldltu lIdl IlS lilCI ltdu
good cover from the British artillery
and had considerable stores of provis-
ions.
Lord Roberts, whose army of sc, 900
men is trying to capture Cronje's 5000,
sent to the London war office a dis
patch dated Saturday, 1920 p. M,
which the war office made public yes
terday. This states that parties of
Beers recently arrived from Natal
attacked our %outposts in force again.
They lost a good many killed and
wounded and nearly 100 prisoners
The British loss in this fight is put at
nine killed, twenty-seven wounded and
two missing. In the advance to and
at Kimberley Lord Roberts states the
British lost six killed and ninety-one
wounded.
A series of press dispatches from
P~aardeberg drift give accounts Of the
fighting there Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. They represent
Cronje's position as hopeless n say
he is willing to surrender, but that
the young T~ransvaalerS in his army
| refuse to yield. There are women and
children in the Boer lager, and Lord
Roberts offered a safe cOnduct for
these, but General Cronje refused. Gen.
eral French captured a kopje and the
Shropshire regiment gained 200 yards
by an advance at night. The accounts
indicate that the British COMMANDMENT
has been considerably relaxed. Up to
| Thursday Lord Roberts, it is stated,
had captured 400 Boer prisoners.
In opposing the advance of Genera
Butler toward LadySmith the Beers
have adopted the plan Of taking a
stand on Grobler's kloof and a range
| of hig hills near it, close to the Tu-
gela river on the north side. They have
trenches on the tops of h hills and
also on the slopes, from which they
fire down on the British as the latter
