High Living and Cancer.

Sir William Banks advances the the
DRY that overeating or even high
standard of general nutrition may pre-
dispose to cancer. which he believes to
be eminently a disease of the healthy
and robust. From this point of view
the abundance of food. which Is a re-
suit Of national prosperity and on the
whole a powerful factor in the i'm
provement Of public health, is not with
out it's drawbacks. Sir William points
out that the increase OF cancer In Great
Britain comedies with an increase
throughout the country. Ever since
the passing of the corn laws bread has
been cheap and plentiful. while during
the last 20 years the Importation of
animal food from other countries has
been enormous. The Increased wages
and profits of all classes have enabled
them to buy freely of the best things
to eat and drink The working classes
fare admirably. The better classes eat
a great deal too much, taking animal
food at brea kfast. lunch and dinner.
Fortunately the people are of athletic
tendency. and there Is n general pas
sion for games and exercises; other
wise this overstuffing would before
now have proved very dangerous. Sir
William Banks Is convinced that when
a man is over 40 excess I'm food Is &C
tually worse for him than excess In
drink and believes one OF the results of
too nourishing food Is the production
of n widely spread second rate kind OF
govt, a modification, in fact. OF the
acute and furious attacks produced In
former days by the copious drinking of
beer and port wine.

Young Mems Christian Associate n.

At the First Methodist Church tonight a
mass meeting will be held in the interest
of the building in this city of a Young
Mems Christian Association home, for the
association is without a home in city
full of young men. The association needs
who do not frequent clubs and saloons do
need place where they gain at least COM
partnership and friendships and the social
contact that every young man naturally
finds somewhere. The question takes this
form: Shall the young men of Birming-
ham have a rallying point, open and ac-
cessible at reasonable prices to all who
desire its aid? 1t is eminently a practical
question. No one is asked to provide an
endowment fund for the proposed institu-
ton. No one is asked to pay for baths,
or athletic exercises or literature used by
young men in the proposed building. The
young men who use the building must
meet ali current expenses. The member
ship fees must do this here as it does else
where. All that the community is asked
to do is to build home for the associa-
ton. All else will be attended to by the
members themselves. In every case they
will be required to pay for what they re-
ceive. The community that puts up
building receives the benefits that attend
the various efforts OF the association to-
wards better citizenship. Every influence
of the building Will pun towards q higher
standard. and as an investment towns
have invariably found such buildings pro-
ductive and desirable.

HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY

In Pittsburg the other day occurred
water duel between Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Gray and Mr.. and Mrs. James Duleney.
The Grays and Dulaneys are neighbors,
and their hydrants are close together
Mrs Gray and Mr.. Dulaney while drawing
water had some words and one began TO
squirt water on the other. Their respec-
tive spouses, who had married them for
better or worse, Immediately came to the
rescue, and a grand water, If not sea,
fight began. This naval encounter lasted
for some time, when all parties, being
drenched mutually retired and, put
ting on dry clothes, proceeded to swear
out warrants against each other for disor
derby conduct and assault and battery.
Now, this was a great mistake. Law. is
an expensive thing to fool with, and the
dragging of their private affairs into the
law courts was a descent from the SUBJ
lime to the commonplace.
There is no better way to settle little
disputes than by a water fight. Deweys
achievement at Manila pales into insig-
nifeance compared to the sublime sight
of neighbors settling their differences at
the hydrant. This method of warfare pro-
notes cleanliness and is apt to cool the
anger of the combatants. The fact that
it did not do so in the case OF the Gray
Dulaney matter should not be taken IS
conclusive proof that the system is bae
until it has been more fully tested.
At Moore's Landing, Miss, on Friday
last Charles Wilson came very near being
lynched as the supposed murderer of T.
Mike, a contractor. Wilson had the rope
placed around his neck. and was about to
be strung up, when some one in the crowd
noticed a scar on his neck which did not
tally with the description of Johnson, the
murderer.
The report of the occurrence states the
rope was reluctantly loosened from
around his neck when investigation de-
veloped the fact that Wilson had no con-
nection with the murder.
Had this Identification come too late.
there would have been nothing left for the
lynchers to do but follow the ancient ex-
ample of the Western lynchers who sought
out the lynched mans wife and informed
her that they had made mistake, but
that the joke was on them this time.
AS Wilson escaped lynching he will not
necessarily hereafter consider Friday an
unlucky day.

number of 2,4isooo. IT may possibly have
100000 today, but it has few Industries,
and is not increasing rapidly
London is the first city of the world,
New York the second, and Paris the third.
Whether Chicago or Merlin is the fourth
remains to be seen when Berlin is re-
counted. The two hold between them
fourth and fifth places. Vienna is sixth,
with Toxic and Philadelphia running neck
and-neck for seventh place in the list of
the worlds cities. AS Toxic had 1,a4,OOO
in 1893 it is but fair to presume that 1t
holds seventh place, and Philadelphia is
therefore the eighth and last of the cities
of the world that are known to hold one
million people and upward.
To the factories and the railroads of this
country are largely due the tendency to-
wards town building and town accumula-
ton in it, and no one can see why this ten
dency will not be maintained during the
new century. If 1t is, Boston, Baltimore
and St Louis will reach and pass the
LOCO, 900 mark, and at least six other towns
will be within hailing distance of it.

Fences Ethically Considered.

A fence in a town-what is it? What is
it in ethics? We know what it is in aes-
thetics. The unframed eye even pro-
nounces it blot upon the landscape. 1t
mars streets that would otherwise be at
tractive. 1t is hideous, an oifense to tbs
sense of the beautiful, reproach to the
artistic tastes of all whc harbor it.
But this has~ayain and again been
stated --assfd accepted. Custom alone up
holds the abomination. There are no
wandering, trespassing animals to be kept
out. City ordinances and officials attend
to that branch of the business Why then
are fences still maintained?
There can be but one answer. Either
there is something inside that must be
isolated from neighbors, or else there is
some fear of aggressions by human beings
from the outside. Isolation or aggression!
The man that mars the beauty of city
street either desires the one, or fears the
other. He is either afraid of his nighbors.
or else he desires to be recluse for rea-
sons best known to himself. His fence is,
in other words, a reflection either upon
himself or upon his neighbors-perhaps
upon both.
Ii man have patriotism he will strive
to beautiful his town and neighborhood,
instead of marring it. If he love his
neighbors as himself, he will seek them
instead of fencing against them. If his
life be an open one, he will not hide be-
hind fence.
These are the ethics of the hobgoblin
fence. These ethics not written down
for use in Siberia, but for application in
this town. 1t is the story of the town
fence on ethical lines. 1t is not an over
drawn story, either.

THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

| ness, which is worse to hapless husbands
The mincing miss makes a wife who casts
stones and does other devilment. Women
must giggle, laugh, be jolly; be abundant
in cheerfulness and joy; doing good by the
manifold means open to women. That Is
what women are here for in the plans of
providence.
Out of the unattractive mystery of lang
uage vulgarism is come a title that is
needed, and is most expressive from pref
ty lips. 1t is jollier; one who seeks to
give pleasure by speaking pleasant
speeches He is the wise man against the
fool who says what he thinks, the candid
friend. The devil put such social beasts
as the candid friend in the world to act as
his agents.
If ye have no pleasing speech to speak,
hold thy tongue, o heir of the ages, lest
We become a worker of inquity accursed!

any moral transgressions of which they
may be guilty: and their attire is such as
their taste and means may provide. Ma

have their natural and their spiritual
counsellors; in department they have their
own culture. For guidance in business
they can appeal to men of business. So
the mission of the candid friend is simply
| devilish. Unsought advice is inexcusable
impertinence. Information is favor of
friendship.
If murder ever be pardonable 1t is when
it removes the bore who tells you of your
personal faults and individual misfortunes.
That person is churl who feels kind
ness towards another, but fails to lend it's
impression. Yet half the world waits for
the other half to die before saying kind
words. Slang says of the jollier that he or
she throws bouquets. Better that than the
ill-conditioned swineherd throwing mud or
worse: to pursue in the parlance of the
pavement and the dramshop. The vener-
able son of Africa who declared, in car
rying on his shoulder his beautiful young
mistress over a slushy ground, that he had
toted barrels of sugar before had court
esy worthy of my lady's drawingroom He
was an old-time jolier, and he told an
evident truth of civility, just as the jol-
lier of today's cultured society tells a
thousand truths to one polished falsehood

about every cultured woman and some
thing admirable about every cultured man.

Hapless men and women in olden times
were subjected to tests of fire that they
might be forced to demonstrations of men,
tai conditions, and the practice survives in
various forms in our day. Physical tor
ture is resorted to in order to prove quail
ties of the mind; and when the torturers
ring confessions from quivering lips they
proclaim in loud-mouthed arrogance and
folly that they have found truth and forced
its utterance. They drive men and women
mad, and then acclaim the rawlings of in
sanity as the outpourings of aroused con-
sciences. That wrong was wrought on the
heights of Calvary; but the answer then
was the joy of heaven. 1t has been tried
ever since with varied results.
Stout hearts some times master pain of
all conditions, whilst the weak babble their
woes. The deeps are dumb whilst the
shadows are complaining. Strong souls
suffer and be strong. To them torture is
most torturing, whether corporal or spirit
ual Bound to the rocks, they offer no
complaining whilst the vultures are feed
ing. Under the repression OF agony there
is quivering involuntary, the efforts Of
racked nerves at protection, but no finch
the vengeful shout of outraged mental
sensibilities. There is no moaning save of
delirium come of fever's mastery.
There is no cry save the cry of joy as
strong souls are eXultant in the masterful
sweep of exaltation That is a cry which
thrills for ever, shouted in battle, in the
forum, in all the public places; or whis-
pered at the tryst of love when, heart
against heart, desire drunken reels in the
passionate intoxication of tense human
bliss. The love that is regnant Of strong
souls finds its sustenance in materialsm
that is earthly of the earth, yet heavenly
of the heaven. Else men would purchase
statues or wooden images or pictures, ac-
cording to their means, and these they
would adore instead of women who weep
or laugh, suffer or rejoice in material and
mental sensitiveness. Men do not Worship
stuffed clothes. They demand living women
who will bleed If they be wounded. Other
wise the post of the gate would serve
equally as well as the radiant maiden
swinging there and listening to tale of
tenderness very much as maidens have
listened since men ceased to struggle for
their possession in the manner of strug-
Cling for bones of beasts to appease hun
ger.
No woman can be an angel unless she
be woman too. Men have no purpose to
clasp thin air and move upon sunset clouds
or vapory pillows of dawn. Adorable
women are abundantly vital; naturally an
imal, though made sacred by the conven-
tons of culture. Under the roses must
beat heart that bounds because 1t is hui
man. Whilst the best loved women may
be such as know how to giggle and say
howdy'do, mere mincing minicry is in
tolerable, and 1t usually makes pigheaded-

State Primary Needed.

In the recent State primary in South
Carolina 10000 Democrats expressed their
choices for United States Senator, Con-
gressmen, Governor and a wide variety of
other offices, down TO beat constables, with
less friction and much more satisfaction
than was evolved in the indirect conven-
ton system in a single Alabama district.
South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi
each and all prefer direct action by the
people, and it is strange indeed that this
state still clings to the cumbersome, awk-
ward and oftentimes disappointing con-
vention system.
The convention in the Fifth District
should be the last held in this state. The
people desire a chance to participate in
the selection of candidates The mass of
the people have been shut out a long time,
and clique rule has prevailed. 1t produced
the Fifth District muddle, and clique rule
should be abolished. The State primary
system of South Carolina is needed, but
the politicians will never introduce it UNI
less the people make known their wishes
In an unmsitakable manner, for they are
audacous while they dare to be, and then
they are correspondingly obedient. A
state primary on South Carolina lines
should be demanded.
The Kansas City platform demands for
the people direct action Indirect action
through representatives that are quite as
apt to misrepresent as to represent has
run Its course. 1t eliminated in Alabama

abolished, There need not be and there
should not be another convention in the

Closing Scenes of the Boer War.

General DeWet has been pursued until
his forces are worn out and sadly deci-
mated. He had at one time 5000 Beers,
out all accounts agree in stating that he
has but few hundreds of ill-fed follow
ers. The surrender of General Olivier has
rendered his position south of the VaaI
hopeless, and he will be watched hereafter
rather than followed He may be able to
cut the long line of communication now
and then, but In each instance he will be
punished by any small body of troops that
is near at hand.
1t is plain that-the-- movements. about
NNTachadodorp are not directed so much
against General Botha as they are at a
complete control of the railroad that runs
to Lorenzo Marques. When that is secured,
the Beers under Botha. supposed to num-
Der 5000 to 10000 men, will be bottled UP
completely. They cannot then get a pair
of shoes or a box of quinine. Kruger and
steyn and the remnants of the two gov
ernments are with Botha.
Whether they retreat to Lydenburg, In
the mountains across the Portuguese
frontier, which is near at hand does not
matter. 1t is plain that they do not intend
to surrender or accept any terms. They
will hold out to The point of dispersion, and
then the war will be ended.
Within thirty days the Rand will be re-
opened to all Corners, and the government
of the Transvaal will be fully reorganized.
The struggle has been, on the part of the
Beers, heroic, but from its start it was as
hopeless as it was heroic. Heroism should
have at least shadow of hope as basis,
and this the Beers did not have.

class are especially abstemious, but there
is something so out of the usual in Mayor
Woodwards vinous exploits; something so

days, many drinks, many promises to re-

lmpeach it's Mayor, and has appointed a
committee for this purpose.
This breach of many presidents by the
Council has made the Mayor sick. He has
gone to bed-really sick this time. accord
ing to his physician. But even the commit
tee realizes that the Council, by impeach-
ing the Mayor instead of forgiving him,
has violated a custom built up by and be-
tween the two, and they are evidently
working with guilty consciences.
The Constitution says that the Council
is still willing to accept his conditional
resignation. This is to lie on the table with
directions "To be taken after drinking"
When the Mayor takes a drinA, the Coun-
ell takes the resignation, and both parties
then feel better at once.
This is a delightful situation that could
not exist outside of a comic opera or At
lanta. The Council really does not want
the resignation-they only want their
