THE OLDEST READERS
QUESTION DISCUSSED BY ThE ADVERTISERS CONSTITUENTS
This Paper Offers Liberal Rewards to Those Who Can Prove Their Claims to the Honored
 Positions.

Many of the leading citizens of Ala bama have been heard to remark ffe- quently that this or that person or per- haps themselves "were the oldest readers Of The Advertiser alive" On another page of this issue will be found a plan for deciding as we'll as rewarding those who really are entitled to the proud dis tinction of being Grandma's oldest sub- scrlbers.
 A great many communications for re- newal of subscriptions have been accom- panied by these assertions until The Advertiser has decided to learn. if pos- sible. who really are the oldest readers.
 With that object in view, a liberal reward has been offered to the ten oldest regular readers proving their claims.
 The Advertiser appreciates the loyalty with which it's many thousands of readers are ever ready to declare and the outcome of this effort on the part of The Advertiser to determine who are actually the oldest readers will be not only a great source of satisfaction to the many claimants of this proud distinc- ton. but will afford this paper great pleasure In being able to reward those who are justly entitled to this honor to such an extent as will make this contest intensely interesting.

SWEEPING FLAMES
ONE RESIDENCE BURNED AND ENTIRE BLOCK THREATENED.
House Owned by Gay Brothers, Valued at $5,ooo, Destroyed. It Was Occupied by
 Bernard Frank.

Three fiTemen overcome by heat and a handsome two story residence owned by Charles and John Gay, occupied by Der nard Frank on South Lawrence Street destroyed, is the result of fire yeSter. day afternoon.
 The injured fremen are Captain w. T Jones of Hose Company No. 1, Captain E J. Griffin and B. c. Lay. They were unconscious for several hours and are yet very weak from their experience Captain Griffin and Captain Jones are at the fire department headquarters on Mad lson Avenue. Fir, man Lay is at the res idence of J. M. Cody on South Lawrence Street.
 A stiff wind was blowing at the time the fire broke out, and the sparks were blown westward for several blocks. Near ly every house in that neighborhood had man on the roof sweeping off the sparks
 The residence of F. R. Graves on South Hull Street, two blocks away, caught fire and part of the roof was destroyed. Chief Browder sent an engine and a detachment of men around to this residence and two streams were turned on the burning roof.
 How the fire in the residence of MT. Frank originated is a mystery.
 A blaze burst out from the rear of the residence and spread rapidly. At the time the ire department reached the scene the entire upper story was in a blaze. Five streams were played on the building and two streams were thrown on the residence of J. M. Cody, next door. By hard work this residence was saved though the north side was badly scorch- ed The roof of a barn on the north side of the Frank residence was also slightly burned.
 The fire attracted much attention and hundreds flocked to the scene, Willing hands wene to work 10 save the furniture and great deal of the household effects were removed.
 The fire burned off the roof and the up. per story, and it is thought the remaining part of the building will have to be torr away In order to r. build,
 The building Is owned by Charles ant John Gay and Is valued at $500. insured for half that amount. MT Frank carried 8, 900 insurance on his furniture, whicf will cover his loss.
 All the fir men were badly used up ant thOroughlV soaked.

Wants Unlocked Horses.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 President Roosevelt Is still Joking for & span of bay geldings that have not had their tails docked and which in other re-
 spects will be up to his standard in horse flesh The head stableman of the White House returned Saturday from a fruit less visit to the Baltimore horse mar kets. where he inspected a large number of animals and found them all Wanting in some important feature. He reported to the President that he could secure any number of bang-tailed animals, but that horses which had not been submitted to the docking process. of quality such as the President demands, are hard to find.
 The President Is opposed to the dock ing of horses tails. He believes the prae- tice cruel and unnecessary and refuses to help the fad by riding behind a span of banK-tails. His difficulty in securing the horses he wants is due to the fact that when the dealers get hold of high-ciass animals they promptly dock their tails in order to increase their market value.

 "RAGTIME" IS OBSCENE.
"It Comes from the Animal in Man and to That Animal It Appeals"

"Tt Comes from the Animal in Man
 and to That Animal It Appeals"
 Rev. Dr. Robert A. Holland. in his ser- mon on The Morality of Music" at St. Georges Episcopal Church, Pendleton avenue and Olive street, Sunday night, said in part:
 "So-c called "ragtime' music is obssnce music. Those who make it may not know it's real meaning, but it comes from the animal in the man and to that animal na- ture 1t appeals.
 Tt is the measure and motion of the cakewalk
 Ut had it's American birth In the Chica- go midway and it has spread midway sen- sations wherever 1t has gone.
 Any one in St. Louis last summer when the windows were open and rag time vaudeville reigned in the summer gardens could have smeued sour beer throughout the city's atmosphere in the very sound his ears sniffed as he passed along the street"
 Dr, Hollands sermon was an appeal for heavenly music-the sublime, soul satis- flying music that is heard in the churches, music of the quality that 'Dr. Holland said Theodore Thomas orchestra played at the Odeon last Friday night

Betting on Elections.


 What a mockery it is that simple citizen who had made a bet of box of cigars on the New York election was challenged and prevented from voting while hundreds who had made much high CT wagers were not interfered with, al- though their names were published, with the amount of their bets, in the newspa- the kind of discrimination that makes decent people angry. The whole specula- ton of betting on election is as much esraD oT as dse Peraps # cannot Se prevented. Very well, if 1t cannot why pass laws against 1t which, if enforced at all, are enforced partially and upon the least culpabIe offenders? The open defiance of such laws with impunity tends to lessen all respect for law and the de- moralization of the public opinion upon which the maintenance of all legal penal
 ties rests. Better repeal every statute of the kind that stultify justice by unfair enforcement of them.

forecasting the river levels. is the matter of quickly and thoroughly disseminating the warnings. The system of distribu- ton in this section is very complete. As soon as dangerous rise is anticipated, warning is teIegraphed to all of the sub stations, with request that the informa- tion be distributed widely; 1t Is also tel ephcned to postmasters at all places that can be reached in time to make the in- formation of value; the newspapers fur nish one of the best means of reaching very large number of people vitally interested in the river reports"
 The forecastlng of low water stages Is also of considerable moment to the steamboat and other river interests. The general appreciation of the river service has steadily increased in recent years and, taken as a whole. there is probably no branch of the Government service which gives so great a return in public maintenance as the river service of the Weather Bureau.
