FOREIGNER WANTS TO
 BUY THREE DEGREES
Writ ps to Alabama University and Inquiries
 as to the Price of Each-They Are Not For Sale

Tuscaloosa, July 25.-(Special 1.-The fol- lowing is a verbatim copy of letter ad- dressed to "The Provost of the University of Alabama, America" recently received by President James K. Powers of the Uni versity of Alabama:
 "Trumera, Montrath, Ireland June 2S, 1900.-Dear Sir: I am a retired member of Her Majestys Civil Service, and wish to obtain the honorary degrees of A. B., A. M, and LL. D., Can you assist me? If so, statee cost of each. Yours faithfully"
 The president replied in effect that the University of Alabama was not in the market for the sale of degrees. This is no new experience. Within the past three years several offers to buy degrees outright have been made. In one case an offer of $500 was made to be paid to any interest designated by the president
 The Trustees of the University have sol emnly declared by ordinance in effect that they will not in future confer for the sake of honoring, any degree that on its face represents work actually done. This is in accordance with the usage of the recog- nized universities of the country. This eliminates A. B., A. M. and Ph. D. as honorary degrees. If the Legislature would take steps looking toward the limitation and regulation of the power to confer de- grees in Alabama it would make them of more value to those who honestly earn them.

SENATOR MORGAN SPEAKS TOMORROW He Will Fill His Appointment at
 Clanton. EXHAUSTED BY THE HEAT He Was Forced to Rest-No Joint Dis cussion Between Col. Sanford and Judge Adams, Says the
 Democratic Chairman
EXHAUSTED BY THE HEAT

Senator John T. Morgan, who has made several speeches in the State recently, had to cancel some of his engagements on account of the extreme heat.
 The Senator came to Alabama two or three weeks ago and was anxious to take part in the campaign now in progress, and especially did he desire to go into some of the counties where he had not been for several years, and where he believed he could be of greater service to his party His services were very much in demand, and in response to numerous requests that came from various parts of the State a number of appointments were made for him. He was in fine health and started out to fill all of the appointments, but the heat and the trips he had to make to reach the different places were too exhaust ing, and some of the appointments had to be filled by other speakers
 The campaign committee has been be- sieged with numerous requests from all portions of the State for Senator Morgan

PRATT I CITY.

Pratt City, July 25.-(Special)-St Cathe- rine's Reading Circle entertained it's friends and we'll -wishers last evening at d book reception, held at the hospitable home of MT. and Mrs. A. J. Reilly, on the North Highlands. The evening was delightfully."- spent by the numerous guests in that pleasant, informal way characteristic of the gracious welcome accorded each guest by the hostesses, Mesdames Reilly and John Hannigan. The beautiful lawn and spacious verandas were aglow with cleo tric lights throughout the evening" Dr. Thaxton's band discoursed sweet music Many selections were rendered by the pia- nola. MT. Miller of Birmingham, favored the guests with several songs, which were enthusiastically received. The fancy dances by little Lydia McIlvain were de- lightful feature of the evening. On the lawn, beneath the lights, was a huge block of ice, artistically decked with ferns, from which delicious lemonade was dispensed Refreshing ices were also served. The large double parlors were waxed to a nice- ty for those inclined to dance. The recep- tion may be reckoned one of the most bril- liant functions in the social life of the city for some time.
 St. Catherine's Reading Circle, though recently organized, is a fourishing circle, under the direction of the following off cers: President, Mrs. A. J. Reilly; vice president Mrs. John Hannigan; librarian, Miss Mackinaw; secretary and treasurer, Miss Maggie Hannigan. The membership already numbers twenty-four enthusiastic students of American history during the colonization period. With last nights re- ception the circle received sixty or seventy volumes of standard and popular authors, donated by their guests, who are indebted to them for a thoroughly enjoyable even ing.

ecutive head of the organization and has authority to order the secretary and treas urer to transfer money from the insurance fund to the general fund of the order. MT. Perham declined to make transfer of this kind and appealed to the board of direct ors, but Mir. Powell was sustained.
 Charge follows charge and each Is an swered in turn. Regarding the failure of the order to win their strikes in late years, MT. Perham says:
 Had the president devoted more time to protecting the membership at large, the defeat that we have sustained on the Bos- ton and Maine, the New York, New Haven and Hartford the Big Four, the Central of Vermont, the Fitchburg Railway and the Southern Railway would not now be a part of the history of this organization"
 Secretary Perham charges in a circular of recent date that in the strikers news paper published in Atlanta during the strike, personal vilification was heaped upon the officials of the Southern Railway in such a manner to preclude the pos sbility of a settlement being made favor able to us and that it had tendency to lower the organization in the eyes of the railway officials throughout the country"
 In reply to this President Powell says:
 Tt Is true we met defeat and this trouble cost the organization many thousands of dollars" Regarding the establishment of the newspaper in Atlanta, President Powell says 1t was made necessary by the ''re- fusal of a monopolistic press to print any thing whatever in reference to the strike'

 HAVING TROUBLE Secretary Perham and Presi-
 dent Powers at War. WHY THE STRIKE WAS LOST Perham Claims That it Was Badly Mis- managed By Powell and Too Much Money Was Spent Use-
 lesslv-Circular Issued
WHY THE STRIKE WAS LOST

Atlanta Ga., July 25.-Copies of letters which have been passing between President w. V. Powell of the Order of Railway Photographers and H. B. Perham secretary of the grand division of that organization, with headquarters at St. Louis, indicate a serious dissention in the order. Secretary Perham has requested the subordinate divisions over the country to vote for a special session or extra convention of the order. Twenty-one divisions have already voted in favor of the convention, and the remaining four divisions are expected to take action in few days.
 The trouble grows out of the Southern Railway strike, which was directed from Atlanta by MT. Powell, and copies of the correspondence between the two officials have been sent to all members of the order. Secretary Perham charges that the strike was badly managed and that the order suf- fered greatly in prestige because of the failure He alleges that the president has caused to be withdrawn from the treasury the funds of the order, charging specially that $35,3S6 was dispersed by the presidents order and that the protective fund of the order, instead of having $50, 900 on hand, has practically no available funds. On June 26th last, when Secretary Perham issued his call for the special session of the organization he stated that the order had only $365 in bank.
 MT. Perham states in his circular that the relations between himself and President Powell has been very much strained and this MT. Powell corroborated
 President Powell, in his reply to Secretary Perham under date of July 13, and from St. Louis, says, "The circular is extra ordinary in character, is in violation of law and the things complained of are badly distorted"
 The president claims that he is the ex-

and in so far as possible the committee tried to comply with these.
 Senator Morgan Is now in Anniston, rest, and announces that he will be ready to speak at Clanton, Chiffon County, to- morrow, the date fixed for him by the com mittee.
 Senator D. ". Pettus will make two speeches in the State before the election, one at Mobile August l, and one at Gadsden on August 4.
 Joseph B. Graham, who had appointments to speak in Cullman and Lawrence Coun- ties next week, will not be able to do so as he is now sick at his room in Talladega. His appointments will be filled by Attorney General Charles G. Brown. Tennent Lomax of Montgomery will speak at Gadsden on August 1, the same day Senator Pettus is to be there
 Chairman Robert J. Lowe of the State Executive Committee will speak in Lamar County on August and 1.
 There will be no joint debates between Colonel W. J. Sanford, the Democratic nominee for Governor, and Judge Samuel M. Adams, chairman of the populist state committee. A report gained circulation the early part of the week to the effect that one or more joint debates had been ar ranged for them, but this is denied by the Democratic campaign committee In speak ing of this rumor yesterday Chairman John V. Smith of the Democratic campaign committee said:
 '"rhe reported joint debate between Col onel Sanford and MT. Adams is absolutely without foundation. The campaign com mittee has stated explicitly that Colonel Sanford will not have a joint discussion with any one during this campaign Captain Frank s. White will speak at Pin Hook, Lawrence county, on August 4.

are in contact with the floors, the
floors with the walls and the walls

personal magnetism a man has in him
goes away in the nighttime, leaving
him like a log on his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insu-
lators from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts of his
guest bed. so that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce the very day he
got home insulated his bed, and from
that moment to the present his insom-

The Cost of Cutting an Old Atlas.

In the state department at Washing
ton is the most comprehensive and
complete set of aliases and maps to be
found anywhere in This country. As
can be readily appreciated, they are
vitality necessary to the carrying on Of
the department. and therefore neither
trouble nor expense is spared in keep
ing them constantly up to date. 1t
would he supposed that their extreme
value and Importance would be patent
to every one.
Some years ago however. one of the
most valuable aliases was found with
two of the maps cut out The maps
had not been distracted. They had
simply been detached from the bind
ing. Investigation proved the mutila-
ton to he the work of a certain clerk,
who on being hauled up by his superior
explained why he had done it as fol
lows:
''Those books are terribly heavy and
hard to handle, and SO | cut the maps
our in order to get at them easier. The
aliases were very old. and l didn't sup
pose they were of any value or that
any one would care"
To the state department an atlas is
like a bottle of wine to a judge of fine
drinks-its value increases in direct
ratio with its age. Il was felt in the
department that that particular clerk
had mistaken his calling in life, and to
him was accordingly given an opportu-
nifty TO pursue another one.-New York
