 AND NOBLE WOMAN
Mrs. Wm. Newbold Passed Peacefully Away Remains Shipped to Louisville for
 lnterment-Funeral Today.

At 4:05 o'clock yesterday morning at the family residence, 712 North Twenty-frst street, death relieved the sufferings of Mrs. Alfretta N Newbold beloved wife of w. M. Newbold, superintendent of the North and South division of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad.
 Death resulted from a fatal malady with which she had been afflicted number of years, but the end came peacefully.
 Mrs. Newbold was 49 years of age, and for the past eleven years had resided In this city. She was a woman of many noble traits of character, devoting much of her time to the cause of charity, in which she took an especial interest. Mrs. Newbod was an active member of the executive hoard of the Hillman hospital, and was closely identified with the United Charities and other mediums through which she reached the poor and needy, who will call her blessed.
 Mrs. Newbold was a native of PenIsyl- vania, and met and married her husband at Erie, In that state. She came with her husband to Birmingham from Evansville, Ind, and soon drew around her a circle Of friends who loved and esteemed her for the true worth of her womanly character.
 Her home life was beautiful in the ex- treme, and the grief-stricken husband and son who survive her can find consoat ton in the sweet memory of her noble life. j
 The news of Mrs. Newbold's death ere ated profound sorrow throughout the city, especially among the railroad employees un- der Mir. Newbold, who had learned to love and esteem her. Many floral tributes were sent to the home, and the casket contain-i ing the remains was banked in flowers. Funeral services were held at o'clock at the family residence by Rev. John G. Mur- ray. Rector of the Church of the Advent, of which deceased was a staunch and de- voted member. pr. Murray was assisted by Rev. Thomas J. Beard Episcopal mis- sonary of the district. A large concourse of friends gathered to pay the last respects At 12:33 o'clock this morning the remains were taken to Louisville in the private car of General Superintendent Leeds of the machinery department, and were accom- panied by the bereaved husband and son, Mrs. J. w. Bush, Mrs. J. w. Worthington, J. R. Wheeler and T. R. Harrison. The funeral will occur this afternoon from the residence of s. H. Newbold. brother of Superintendent Newbold, and the remains will be laid to rest in Cave Hill cemetery, Louisville's beautiful burying ground.

MEETING OF THE
 DIRECTORS HELD B. R. 6 E. Co. Officials Consider Question of ReimburS!ng City, MAY ACCEDE TO DEMAND Ready to Put Electric Cars on High land Avenue Line as Soon as Con-
 nections Are Made-Anoth-
 CT Meeting Today
MAY ACCEDE TO DEMAND

The directors of the Birmingham Rail road and Electric company held a meeting yesterday and discussed the question of re- fmbursing the city for street improvements along the Highland avenue line in Avenue G and Twenty-ninth street. Without final ly agreeing upon anything they adjourned until today, when the matter will be again taken up.
 After the meeting of the directors Robert Jemison, vice-president of the Birmingham Railroad and Electric company, stated to an Age-Herald reporter that his company was ready to put electric cars on the High land avenue line just as soon as the con nections could be made between the High land avenue and Avondale lines. He said he was unable to say what action the directors would take today with refer ence to reimbursing the city for the street improvements above alluded to.
 As to the agreement between the city council and the receiver of the Highland avenue line, he had no positive knowledge and had nothing to say.
 It is probable tht the directors will, at their meeting today, agree to the city's demands, and order the connections made between the Avondale and Highland ave- nue lines.
 While the Highland Avnue and Belt com- psny was in the hands of a receiver the city graded Avenue c, from Twenty seventh to Twenty-ninth streets: Twenty ninth street, from Avenue G to Highland avenue, and Highland avenue, from Twen- ty-ninth to Thirty second street Clubbing was also done a few feet from either side Of the track, and grass planted in the space between for a considerable portion Of this distance.
 The city claims that the receiver of the Highland avenue line made verbal agreemnt to reimburse the city for these Improvements.
 MT Jemison stated yesterday that he knew nothing of this agreement when his company purchased the Highland avenue line.

 by Board of Revenue. BE KNOWN AS ENSLEY BEAT  Will Have Representation on County Democratic Executive Committee.
 Beat Officials to be Appointed
 by the Governor
BE KNOWN AS ENSLEY BEAT

Politically, Jefferson county is now divid- ed into forty-fve parts. This does not mean that forty-five different kinds of poli- tics are represented within the confines of the county, but that forty-five precincts or subdivisions go to make up the whole.
 At a meeting of the board of revenue held yesterday the Ensley precinct, which will be known as beat 45, was officially formed, being created out of a port of beat 9, Of which Elyton is the principal voting place.
 The new precinct includes Ensley and suburbs and is quite populous.
 Beat officials consisting of two justices of the peace and one constable will be ap- pointed by the governor to serve until the next election. At the next meeting of the county executive committee a beat com mitteeman to represent the new beat will be elected.
 Some months ago the citizens O. Ensley petitioned the board asking that Beat 9 be divided and that a new beat be created out of the west section of the beat, claim ing that the population justified 1t.

A Good Suggestion,

1t has been Sug ge5tel that one
day of the big fair here in October
be de5i 5iglated Chavps county day,
one as E Idly county day, one as
Lincoln county day and tie last
and best as New Mexico day. The
first day being the least desirable,
Chaves county is willing to take
that and then let Eddy and Lincoln
counties choose as to the next two
days. The idea, if carried out,
wouId be to have the people from
each Of the three counties have
entire charge on their dty, 1t is
certainly good idea. 1t is demo-
cratic and gives all the people u
chance to work out their idea of a
fair.
The above suggestion of the Ros-
wen hccolu is certainly as sensible
as it is magnanimous, and the
EAGLE is sure that the conditions
of the foregoing will suit Lincoln
county, These three counties can
make an exhibit that will interest
thousands Of people throughout
the country-No section of the
Southwest can show such resources
rs these three counties. The world
can't beat us for stock, mining, and
agriculture. This fair will be an ef-
fective means of bringing capital
into tLese co, mites for investment
that would probably never reach US
through any other channel. A fair

"One of my chaplain friends was
on an army transport, going south
with officers and men from various
regiments. The officers were play
ing cards in the cabin from morn
ing to night. When Sunday came
the chaplain took a good supply of
reading matter from his cabin, and
was on hand with it as the break
fast table was cleared off and the
officers were getting ready to play
cards as usual. Stepping TO the
head of the table, he said, good
naturally; Gentlemen, tracts are
trumUs today and it's my deal
All right, chaplain the officers re-
sponded. give us a hand The
books and prayers were given out.
No cards were played that day.
The chaplain had his opportunity
unhindered, because he showed
tact in his way Of presenting his
case. New York Tribune"

A BIG THING FOR Ell PAsO

Editor McKic's Opinion of the Mint Ad.
yocated by the Herald
From tn. International In lustrial Record.
With the establishment Of a
government purchasing mint at

would m moke great bound forward
The mint would bring othersmelt,

increase the incentive for men to
prospect for the precious metals.
The mint would make it possible
for miners to get much quicker
action for their money, thereby
making the strongest appeal to
mans in>tinctive desire for wealth.
