Ice Cheap in Southern Cities.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 Ice Is sold at lower price in the cities of the South than in those of the North. In only one Southern city, Montgomery, Ala, does the price charged approach that exacted in some Northern cities. By a combination among the Montgomery ice dealers the price to domestic consumers is held at 50 cents a hundred pounds Nashville Ice men are also in combina- ton, but 1t Is not a grasping one, being satisfied with 35 cents per hundred. In the other cities the price varies from 2 cents in New Orleans to 25 cents in Sa- vannah and 30 cents elsewhere. The con trast appears the more striking when il is remembered that practically all the Ice now marketed in the South is manufac- tured.

the New York Press

From the New York Press.
 In the bosom of his family J. Pierpont Morgan is a very lovable old fellow, and in the sacredness of the home circle his wife addresses him by term of endear- ment that she learned In their sparkling days. Mir. Morgan is giantesque When he walks the earth seems to tremble un- der the pressure of his heel. He is big in every way-mentally and morally, as well as physically To think of him responsive to n dimin,Itive is enough to make horse laugh. Nothing could appear more con- gruous But Mrs. Morgan affectionately calls him "Ponty."

 The question of whether Tuscaloosa shall have a new court house is attract ing a good deal of attention in the coun- ty at present. The present quarters are notoriously inadequate for the needs of the county. An effort will be made to have the commissioners sell the present court house, record office and county Jail and erect a new combined court house and jail. The city owns a valuable half block a few blocks from the main busi- ness portion of the town. A large num- Der of the people of the county and city favor the building of the court house at once. The commissioners will meet in a few days and some action may be taken at that time looking towards this end.
 Judge Joseph Carthel, the well known public man and Sunday school advocate of Montgomery, was a visitor to the city of Tuscaloosa yesterday on business. He is we'll known here and is much liked.

MOTHER OF PEARL CLOUDS.
A Beautiful Celestial Phenomenon of
 the Arctic Regions.
London Standard

LOf-QOn standard.
 The last Danish expedition which was sent to the polar regions to study the aurora borealis observed the so-called mother of pearl clouds which are de- soribed in the reports of the Danish Academy of Sciences. These clouds re- St mble the so called shining clouds.' IEese formations were given their singu- lar nams bv the Norwegian meteorolo- eis t, Professor Mohn. The Danish scien- lists twice had an opportunity of seeing such celestial phenomena. Once they succeeded in measuring tho distance of these clcUds above the earth. which was found to be about forty kilomcters.
 The second time measuring was not possible because all the members of the expedition were in one place, but they were able to make some remarkable ob- servations about the movement Of the cloud. At first it looked like horizontal band in the southwestern horizon at height of thirty or thirty-five degrees. Then 1t moved slowly toward the east. stopped and finally returned to its origi- nal position. During its retrograde mo- tion a part of the cloud was torn off. the fragment assuming circular shape and floating alone with rapidity of one de- gree In four seconds toward the south. Having passed through seven degrees of the Armament, this small cloud was dis solved.
 It is evident that these motions are peculiar to the mother of pearl clouds. because another cloud which was in the same tract of sky at the same time re- mained motionless. The color of these

A NEW DEPARTURE
DEMOCRATS IN THE SOUTH WILL
 BE GIVEN OFFICES.
Good Men A-e to Be Chosen With out Regard to Political In- fiuence or the Negro
 Vote.

Washington Special Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Pr ssident Roosevelt has several South ern appointments ready to announce which will surprise the whole country, but they will demonstrate the sincerity of his declaration that he proposes to name the best men for office regardless of old party lines in the South. He has selected for appointment to high office in the South several prominent Demo- crats who have never voted d Republi- can ticket. but who are now no longer in sympathy with the free silver, free trade and anti-expansion policies of their party. They are also opposed to the con stitutional amendments in their State de- signed to disfranchise the negro voters.
 Southern Democrats have for years said that decent white men could not affiliate with the Republican party in the South. and that the white men were compelled to stand together to protect groes. regardless of the economic politics of the Democratic party.
 To Test This Sentiment.
 President Roosevelt proposes to test this sentiment. He will invite prominent white men in the South who do not be- lieye in the political principles of w. J. Bryan, to assist him in the administra- tion of the Federal power in their States, and he will ask only that they adminis- ter their offices. according to their high est ideals of right and justice. They need not call themselves Republicans. nor identify themselves with the Republican party in their communities. If they sup port his general policies of governm ent as laid down in the National Republican platform there will be no barrier to their Identifying themselves with the Admin istration.
 The President is not trying to build up a personal following in the South. He desires to help restore popular govern ment to that section where it is rapidly declining.
 Half the White Men Do Not Vote.
 While in Illinois and other Northern States 90 per cent of the men of voting age cast their votes at the last presiden- fial election. in such States as Mississippi and South Carolina only 20 per cent. of the males of voting age voted, and not 50 per cent. of the white men voted. The last census shows that Mississippi has 150.923 are white and 19S,25o are colored, but the total vote of Mississippi in the presidential election was only 70.5i5, or less than one-half the number of white vo- ters.
 The same conditions prevail in all the Southern States. though not so strikingly illustrated in the discrepancy between the votes cast and the number of men of voting age. Alabama has 413.S .S62 men If voting age of whom 232. .294 are white fgl .56S are colored. Alabama's total vote last year was 159,523. or little more than half the number of white men of voting age. Georgia 800 752 men of voting age, 271 AS white and 233, BOA colored. The total vote of Georgia was 122, 715, less than one half the white men of voting age. Lou isiana has 125943 men of voting age, l77,S79 whites and 14S,O65 colored. The to-

has not been learned. In digging it out it comes up in large Jumps and consists of layers just as other coals.
 Soon after arriving at the creek. the parties dug out heap of it, which burn ed freely and made glowing fire. They also dug into the bank of the creek as best they could on a level with the bed and found 1t to extend into the hill, which rises abruptly, soon reaching an altitude of one hundred feet. It is re- ported that large quantities of this sub- stance has also been discovered in the bed of Big Creek, about one mile distant from where 1t was discovered in Sweet water Creek. It is thought that coal exists there in large quantities, and that it means much for this part of the State
 There is a considerable complaint, both on the part of the farmers and the mer- chants, about the short cotton crop. The receipts up to date, are less than has ever been known to corresponding dates in other years, and merchants are complain ing of exceedingly short collections for the time of year.

An observation through the spectroscope gave only the lines of the common spec trum of the sky at daylight together. cate a great quantity of vapor. It was perhaps the strong sunlight which pre- vented the observation of any peculiari- ties in the spectrum of these clouds.
 Their motion cannot be caused by any wind. Professor POulscn, the head of the expedition, is rather of the opinion that the mother of pearl clouds are moved by other forces. partly perhaps by electricity. looulson explains the for nation of such cloud by currents of ne gative electricity. by virtue of which the atmospheric vapor Is condensed. The clouds probably move in the direction of tEe electric currents.
