WAS APPOINTED COMMERCIAL
 AGENT OF sEABoARp.
Ability of Well Known Young Rail- road Man is Recognized by oficials-Newsy Notes of
 Railroads.

A piece of news was given out last night that will be read with genuine pleasure by the many Montgomery friends of Charlie Adams of the Sea- board Air Line.
 A circular from the Headquarters tf that road in Portsmouth. Va. was re- ceived by The Advertiser last night with the announcement of the appoint ment of MT Adams as Commercial Agent of the Seaboard in Montgomery
 Several months ago when the up- town office of the Seaboard was open ed Charlie Adams was appointed clerk by MT. Wade Allen who was the Gen eral Agent of the company in Mont gomery. MT. Allen divided his time between the uptown office and the To- cal freight office on North Perry Street. Charlie Adams was kept in the uptown office all the time. doing tho bulk of the work there. So well and so thoroughly did he perform his dp- ties that attention was attracted to him officially. A few months ago when MT. Allen received the appointment with the Woodstock Company in An niston his chief clerk. Mir. Burgess, was appointed local agent of the com- pany at this point MT. Adams remain ed in the uptown office and has had en- tire charge of its affairs ever since MT. Allen recommended him in the most fiattering terms to the officials of ,he Seaboard and the result has been that they have recognized his ftaess for the position and appointed him Com mercial Agent in Montgomery.
 Charlie Adams has a most attractive personality and a disposition at once engaging and pleasing. He is peculiar ly fitted for the position to which he has been appointed as he has the fac ulty of easily making and retaining friends-a most essential point in tho making of soliciting man, either freght or passenger

destructive, and with these cats Kaiser
found still another source of enjoy
ment. The mistress of the house
would not let the cats sleep in the
house at night, but compelled them to
sleep out in the hay, and Kaiser set
himself the task of bringing them all
to breakfast every morning. He never
stopped to consider how they might be
most easily carried, but catching them
by that part of their anatomy which
CHANGED to be most convenient he
would race to the house as if possessed,
drop his victim, and hurry back for
another until all the cats were brought
to the house.
His desire seemed to be to make such
haste that none OF the little witches
could have the privilege of walking,
and he seldom failed to carry out his
plan to his entire satisfaction. Sure
it was hard on the poor devils, more
especially those that were so carried as
to allow the greater part of them to
drag, but Kaiser enjoyed it. Frequent
punishments failed to break him of this
habit; and you know the practical
joker seldom thinks of any one but
himself. STRABO.

opportunities for the commission of
unlawful deeds is the proper scope and
direction of all efforts of police de-
partments looking toward the preven-
tion of crime. The distinction drawn
between the criminal class and vagrants
using the latter word in its commonly
accepted sense-brings us to a con-
slderatlon of the term vagrancy and it's
significance in the eyes of the law. 1t
has been ruled time and time again by
the higher courts that crime in some
form or another is an essential in
gredient of the offense; either by the
commission of so many crimes in the
past as would lead to the inference that
the individual positively refuses to
provide himself with an honest SUBJ
sistence, or by some overt act done in
contemplation of an indefinite crime,
or by some act which is made a crime
in itself; Q. g., begging. The real test
is whether or not the means of liveli-
hood are repugnant to the law.
consequently we are drawn to the
following conclusion: That in so far
as it relates to the above mentioned
class, the order is merely repetition;
a repetition, in fact, of the oath which
should have been taken by Mr.. O'Neill
when entering upon his official duties,
and is practically an acknowledgment
of his neglect in the past. That as to
all other persons, it is without authority
in law and is repugnant to the fund
amental principle that penal statutes
must be construed strictly, and is an
attempt on the part of minor
executive official to usurp the functions
of the legislature and encroach on the
liberty of the citizens. A.

cend, yet it was seldom allowed to
touch him; but without the impetus it
furnished he could not be induced to
lind the shoes, and as he never con-
cealed them twice in the same place
their whereabouts could not be learned
without his assistance.
No naughty boy could have shown
himself more cunning than Kaiser
when contemplating mischief, and he
was seldom caught carrying off things.
Frequently, when things were missing,
it did not seem possible that he could
have taken them: but when search
had been made, and the switch taken
down as last resort, he never failed
to point out their hiding place. Very
often shoes were concealed in places
that were bad for the leather, and when
the rain CHANGED to be falling and
their loss had not been discovered for
sometime after their concealment, they
would be found in convenient pool
of muddy water. Kaiser's love of a
practical joke made him very much of a
nuisance.
Three tOmcats and four female cats
were kept at the home where Kaiser
lived, for rats were plentiful and

out the shortcomings of the Germans.
That the failings of most of us exceed
our virtues, is true of nations as well
as individuals. Next to an American,

foaming stems, and as Mr.. Dooley

out concluding that animals enjoy fun
almost as we'll as people do.
Kaiser had been purchased for little
Nellie who loved dogs, and altho he
would threaten to hite anyone whenever
he heard little Nellie cry, his love for
her did not prevent him from amusing
himself even at her expense. He would
run away with her toys, holding them
just beyond her reach, exactly as mis-
chieveous boys delight in doing, and
her big rubber doll seemed to have a
particular charm for him.
One of Kaiser's ideas of humor con-
sisted in carrying off the hired mans
shoes and hiding them in all sorts of
unexpected and inconvenient places.
When he saw the man hunting for them,
his joy was intense and was every bit
as evident as if it were put into words.
The mans soul was stirred with wrath.
and when he called down Kaiser to find
his shoes there came a most ludicrous
change in his demeanor. He might
then be seen travelling alta provokingly
snail-like pace, his nose close to the
ground, his tail thrust between his legs,
his whole demeanor abject and un-
happy, with some member of the
family close behind him switching the
ground at every step. He would
whimper as if he had been struck
every time he heard the switch des

The Chicago Police
Regulations.

TIME article in The MIRROR a
fortnight ago, referring to a
recent order of Chicago's
chief of police concerning the
unemployed, deals with topic worthy
of consideration in any civilized COM
munity.
1t appears that Superintendent
O'Neill has announced his intention to
cause the arrest of all unemployed
men found floating about the streets,
and we are at once brought to inquire:
First-What object has he in view in
giving such an order? Second-Has
he the necessary authority? Third
What individuals may be affected by
the order? Fourth-Is there a reason
able probability of the desired object
being attained?
The first, third and last of these
queries were answered in the article
referred to; but some further comment
might not be out of place. Prevention
of crime is at all times desirable and
cOmmendable object, but it scare ely
warrants administering punishment
for an offence which has admittedly
not been committed. And tho the fact
that man is hungry may induce him
to steal, and may be an extenuating
circumstance in case he does steal, yet
it is by no means certainty that
man so placed will steal, nor does such
a fact excuse himfrom the consequences.
What comment would have been
made if the chief Of police of Buffalo
had issued an order for the arrest of all
persons in his district, for assault, at
the time of the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley? Yet every person in
Buffalo at that time had an inducement
to make violent attack on the
assassin, and probably would have
done so had the opportunity presented
itself.
In this case no assault was made
because the opportunity was taken
away; and lessening the number of

Mr.. Potts was shoemaker in civil
life, but at the outbreak of the war he
enlisted. He was good soldier and

CONFERENCE WITH MORGAN.
Rev. Phillips and Others Talk with
the Great Promoter.


NEW YORK. March 27.--A delegation
composed of five men representing trade
interests in the Pennsylvania anthracite
coal regions with the Rev. Edward 5.
Phillips, acting as chairman, held confer
ence to-day with J. Pierpont Morgan in the
private office of Mr.. Morgan in this city.
The conditions of unrest in the anthracite
coal region at present were set forth in the
briefest possible form by Father Phillips.
who presented the delegation to Mr.. Nor
gan, and to whom Mr.. Morgan expressed
his interest in their errand and his willing
ness to make personal effort to prevent a
strike, though he declined to hold public
conference with the labor leaders.
The delegation which met Mr. Morgan to-
day comprised the Rev. l.. S. Phillips, from
Hazelton, and Edward Lauterbach, the
treasurer and A. II. McAlester, the secre-
tary of the Hazelton Board of Trade; j.
II. Sorbey, president, and l.. w. Mar
quardt chairman of the manufacturers
committee of the Pottsville Board of Trade.
Arrangements for this meeting Were made
last week by the officials of the various
boards of trade of the coal region of Penn
sylvania through Rev. Father Phillips as
chairman. The conference lasted less than
haif an hour. Father Phillips made a brief
presentation, saying that the delegation
was there merely trying to bring about
some action that would prevent a strike;
that it was ready to act as an intermediary
body, or to be used in any way that would
compose any differences existing.
Father Phillips asked Mr.. Morgan if he
would meet John Mitchell. president of the
United Mine Workers Association, who
has been in New York for several days. Mr..
Morgan in reply said in substance that his
attitude up to the present has been to-
ward the prevention of a strike. He said
he was mucn interested in the mission of
the delegation, and he assured them that
they could rely upon him to do all within
his power to prevent any action that would
paralyze business. He remarked. however.
that he was disinclined to hold a public
conference with the labor leaders, indicat-
ing as a reason for this attitude the be-
lief that should a public meeting between
himself and labor leauers be held the pub
licity thereof and possibly attendant con-
clusion might hamper me achievements of
the best ends which all were seeking H.
other words, as Mr.. Morgan remarked
should he hold public meeting or con-
ference half of New York would be upon
my heels"
Mr.. Morgan added that the ends sought
could best be achieved through other chan
nels, and he assured the delegation that
he might communicate with the boards of
trade later. You may rest assured that |
believe there will be no strike" remarked
Mr.. Morgan. Mr.. Morgan shook hands
with the members of the delegation and
they parted. Mr.. Morgan after the confer
ence declined TO make any statement rela-
tive thereto.
