3 HULL HOUSE :
SAND ITS FOUNDER :
Q Why Miss Jane Adams Has 8
Been Received With So
= Much Enthusiasm
Q In Paris. o
BY MILDRED MERRIAM,

Miss Jane Adams, whose address at
the Paris exposition recently attracted
widespread attention in the French CAPT.
tal is the founder Of Hull House, Chi
cago, and the head and front of that uni
versity settlement for which Hull House
Is home. When Miss Adams modestly
told Of the work done by the Hull House
in the slums of Chicago, she was treated
to an unexpected ovation, and she has
since received many complimentary no.
tees from European sources.
Few Americans are fully aware Of oil
that Hull House Is doing for Chicago.
Even Chicagoans themselves do not seem
to realize the extent Of this work. It Is,
however, the most important movement
Of its kind in this country. According to
the charter Of Hull House It's object is
ITO provide center for a higher civic
and social life; to institute and maintain
educational and philanthropic enterprises
and to investigate and improve the condi-
lions In the industrial districts Of Chica-
co." Hull House itself consists Of sub
stantial group Of buildings on South Hal
sted street, right In the heart Of one of
the most unclean and most unenlightened
sections Of Chicago.
The big corps Of settlement workers y
Hull House, led by Miss Adams, urg
the slum people to nobler and better
things by various means. They educate
them by inducing them to join classes for
the study of many things. To improve
social conditions there are the Hull House
clubs, which furnish refining entertain
ment for men, women and children who
would otherwise be out of the reach of
all refining influences.
One of these clubs is composed of 80
working girls who maintain q house Of
their own on the cooperative plan. They
all live together as one big family, with
a Hull House girl for president. Each
member pays weekly dues Of s.. which
includes room and board. Then there il
the Hull House Mems club, which Is or
ganized on somewhat similar lines. The
Hull House Women's club does work In

We take this method of extending to the honorable mayor of Birmingham, the board Of aldermen, the police commissioners, the chief of police and entire force, the attend ing physicians and the faithful nurses, the daily press and friends too numerous to mention, our unspeakable gratitude for all your kindness to our loved one, J. W. Adams, and for your sympathy for our family in our bereavement. hat could be done to save his life and to relieve his sufferlngs you did. What could be said to show your appreciation of the sacrifice he made to duty, and since his death to afford us comfort and consolation, you have said. Our words are weak. We can not tell what our hearts feel, We can only assure you of our appreciation of all you have said and done, and pray God to slourdantly bless and reward you for the same. Gratefully,

 sacred trust. The members of the board of revenue have drawn a strong indiet- ment against the administration, and 1t is one that cannot be successfully assailed ia ethics or in law. The board has simply done its plain duty. but it is entitled to the thanks of the people for the frank, open and undertaking expression of opinion that went with its action. It could have smashed the assessment in a half dozen words, but 1t preferred to set forth the nature and scope of the attempt to punish the univer- sity, and for this explanation the board deserves the thanks of the people of the entire state.

General Butler ought to foe able to fight. He has fought in China, in Canada, and in Africa (north south. east and vest. Chinese, Indians, half-breeds, Ashantis, Kffirs Zulus and Boers have all had their share in making Butler a soldier, says the London Daily Mail.
 He comes from the land of whipped cream, and has spent most of his time in whipping those who were black He began 42 years ago, when he joined the kings royal rifles as ensign in India, just when The Indian mutiny was at an end. But, un- like Lord Roberts, Butler has never seen fighting in India. For a few months after he became soldier his regiment was or dered to China to pull the ceiestials' pig tails.

State University Lands.

The retaliation programme has broken down, and no taxes will be collected from lands belonging to the state university. The scheme was indeed so transparent, so wanting in legal support, that even Gover- nor Johnstons appointees in Jefferson county would not sanction it. Ilhe board of revenue unanimously tured it down.
 The state, say the members of the board of revenue. cannot tax the university lands for its own benefit, because the state is trustee, and the university lands are trust from the hands of the federal gov- ernment. If that trustee, ehe state say the commissioners, should violate the terms of the~trust by taxation "uhe United States through its attorney general, could go into the supreme court, and compel the state to righteously perform its trust" And the opinion is concluded with an order vacat- ing the assessment of Back-Tax Wetmore, thus making the opinion cover the last grant as we'll as tine original grant to the university.

Being in Canada on garrison duty, Bull ler's regiment came in fer the Red River expedition, which was under Colonel Gar ret Wolseley's control The northwest provinces had been added to Canada, but the French half-breeds, under Louis Riel, became unruly, took one of the Hudson Bay company's forts and made some Eng llsh prisoners.
 In this roloodless expedition Butler got a great deal of experience, which served him to good purpose in our Soudan troubles. One thousand two hundred men had to be conveyed 12GO miles, and boats were neces- sary for the purpose This occupied four weeks. But arriving at their destina- ton it was found that the rebellion had collapsed. In this campaign Butler was a captain, and did splendid service in direct ing the transport.

sTHE HON WEBSTER DAVIS

From the New York Commercial-Adver
 tiser (Rep)
 The extinction of Macrum's brief candle of notriety might have warned Webster Davis from the same course, one would think. Davis has not even the chance Macrum had of attracting public notice Macrum managed for time to keep up the fatal fascination of mystery. There is no mystery whatever about Davis. He was appointed to a place of moderate impor- tance as a reward for his exertions as a speNbinder. He thought he had talents for larger place, and his superiors soon be- gan to question his qualifications for the place he had Such wide divergence of view bred mutual coldness, and Davis realized that his time in the department was short He arranged this Boer oarn-storming busi- ness for a theatrical exit and safe refuge when the public service would hold him no longer. IIe thought heaven had made him for a statesman, but made a mess of the trade when he tried it. Now he thinks he can make of his failure an advertise ment for his cid vocation of spellbinder.

HE onlY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
The Aue-HeraId Leads.

Printers Ink, the wel-known advertls- ing journal of New York, which is ac- cepted as the standard for this country, fin an editorial article on Sunday News papers, in it's issue of March 18th, has the following in regard to Alabama news papers:
 "In AIabdma the BirmiRgham Age Berald IS entitled to first consideration from tts accepted actual issue of 6,SS4 in 1899, aohiIe the Mobile Register and Montgomery Advertiser, both reliable substantiaI mediums, aoith c strong pro- pensity for claiming more and son'e- avhat persistent reputation for aoithhoId- ing definite tnformation, are rated, the former aoith an estimated issue iR ercess of 2,250 copies, and the latter in ercess of 1000. The Advertiser in 1894 shosced q smallest issue of 5,700 and the Register in 1887 had daily aUerage of 4,677. There IS nothing later in detatl from either paper. The Directory re- ports seem to indicate that the output of the Register and AdUertiser combined may not noao e1ceed thdt of the Age Herald D
 The Age-Herald does not, as a rule, in- dulge in blowing and boasting of its cir culation. It is striving for daily circula- tion of 25,OOO, and when this point is reached which should be within the next twelve months, then The Age-Herald will be at liberty to feel proud of itself. In the meantime, it is gratifying to The Age Herald to make acknowledgement of the above purely voluntary statement on the part of Printers Ink.

Mobile and Senator Morgan.

Whatever the rest Of the state may do it is impossible to believe that Mobile will refuse to endorse and support Senator Nor san; for the chief work of his long, active and splendid public career is the very canal that is to make Mobile a great port. Mo plies future greatness will assuredly spring from waterways, and of these waterways the Nicaragua canal is first and foremost. The Nicaragua canal will fairly demand the opening of the Warrior from the mines and frrltat es of this district to the sea. The two waterways will give Mobile the monopoly of an immense carrying trade.
 Inc time is fast coming when the fuel supply of a good share of the Pacific mer- chant marine, and of Pacific ports will be supplied from Mobile-wth coal and eoka When the Warrior is opened to slack water navigation and the Nicaragua canal is built, Mobile will simply possess a mo- nopoly that will render competition impos- sole Baltimore is too far away; Penn sylvania coal costs more at the mine than Alabama coal will then cost at the sea, and Norfolk will be distanced by distance and price. Alabama coal Will be supple nlented by Alabama iron and steel and manufaetured goods, all at prices that for bid competition.
 All this has been brought within sight by Alabamas great senator, and Mobile mot only needs him in the senate until the Nicaragua canal is completed, put it owes him a deot of gratitude that it can never repay. He has laid the foundations of Mo- piles greatness; for he has brought the isthmian work within the grasp of the present generation. He has built up pub lie sentiment until it is about to triumph over the transcontinental railroad combine. Mobile. certainly will not reject the great seantor who has done so much for the city's best interests and whose valuable services and influence will be so much needed in the senate up to the hour of the completion of the interoceanic canal. The Age-Herald is prepared to listen to almost any campaign invention, but it refuses to believe that Mobile will reject the experi- enced Morgan to accept the inexperienced Johnston.

LIVING WITHOUT FOOD

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The length of time a human being can go without food before death varies considera- bly. Dr. Tanner was the pioneer of profes- sional fasters. He, with his forty days of starvation, was outdone by Succi, with forty-five. Succi in turn was outdone by Jacques, who, in London. ten years ago abstanned from food for fifty days. There is no authentic record of Jacques feat be- ing equaled by any professional faster. But a still more wonderful effort of abstinence was that of Guillaume Grainle, French murderer who refused food in the hope of escaping the guillotine. This was in tae jail at Toulouse, and the circumstances were such that no deception was possible. He lasted for sixty-three days, during which dime he drank only eight or ten pints of water. Then ne died.

No Half Gents Wanted.

This is not a farthing country, and the proposed coinage of fathrings or half cents is not needed. Half cents were coined be- fore the civil war, but no one used them except the coin collectors. An article not worth a cent is not worth buying, and if it fer of two articles for cent.
 It is said that the demand for half cents arises in department stores. How true this charge is we do not know. It may of course be that such stores desire to show that this or that piece of goods has been marked down to 9aa cents, but this would scarcely justify a change in the coinage of the country.
 No sound reason has been advanced in favor of the proposed change. and it is safe to say that none will be. The one cent American people are not half-cent people. In China one can get for a dollar coins enough to baffle count, but there is no req son why this country should adopt Chinese monetary methods. Stamp taxes of var ious sorts render the one-cent piece very useful, and it has come into the south to stay but there is not now and will not be a change in this section for half cents or farthings. Even in England farthings are not in general use. They are occasionally seen, but the universal minimum coin is the ha penny or one cent piece.

Marine Hospital Needs Money.

The request of the secretary of the treas ury for an immediate appropriation of $50O,- GOO to enable the Marine Hospital Service to begin at once it's fight against the plague and yellow fever and other epidem- ic diseases, is reasonable and should be granted. And it cannot be granted one minute too quickly. The preparations for combating these diseases are not confined to this country Surgeon-General Wyman has his agents in all infected ports, par ticularly in the fruit ports of Central and South America, where yellow fever may be found in almost any month of the year, and in the Pacific ports where bubonic plague fingers.
 Mississippi neglected to vote money for fighting yellow fever, and the entire bat tie has been thrown on the Marine Hos- pital Service. F'or this reason, if for no other, every southern congressman should support the request for a large and im- mediate appropriation to the Marine Hos- pital Service, Five hundred thousand dol lars is none too much. The battle against
  disease germs has to be waged nearly around the world Medical officers have been detailed to guard the mainland and they are at work in Yokohama and Hong Kong, ds well as in the West Indies and in Central America.
 The near approach of summer renders an appropriation urgent, and the Age-Herald hopes quick action will be had in congress. Our relations with the West Indies are now much greater than they ever have been, and the danger of germ introduction is correspondingly increased. The Marine Hospital Service is, however, well equipped for the work, and an appropriation of the sum named will give good assurance that epidemics of imported deadly diseases will be avoided.
