JAPANESE LOAFERS.

There is a large number of idle and
loafing Japanese hanging around Wal
luku, who absolutely refuse to work
even when it is offered to them. These
men must live, and they are developing
a tendency toward a parasitic exist
ence. A comprehensive vag law EN-
acted by the approaching Legislature
and strictly enforced by the police,
would be a good remedy.

FAMOUS ARENIc STARS.
Sixty Acrobats in One Big Display
 With RingIing Bros.' Circus.

Ringing Brothers, whose famous big
 Circus exhibits in Birmingham Monday,
 November 4, offer an absolutely un-
 equalled company of high class acrobats
 this season. This remarkable company of
 gymnasts and athletes comprises 60 of
 the highest salried acrobats in the world,
 and the performance they present Is in-
 finitely superior to anything ever before
 attempted in the line of acrobatic en- deavor. The keynote of the performance is novelty. There Is nothing old-nothing
 stereotyped-nothing that is hackneyed
 or out of date. It Is novel because 1t is
 new, and 1t Is unique, because it is abso-
 lutely original In a company embracing so many star performers 1t Is difficult to individualize, and yet there are several of these great artists whose surpassing skill entities them to special mention. First and foremost is the famous Garccinetti Troupe of Italian Acrobats. This great company of performers embraces nine men, women and children, who present series of acrobatic performances entirely original with themselves This is their first appearance in America, and they have created a genuine furore. New fea- lures that have also attracted wide at- tention are the grotesque posing and bar rel jumping of the Three Marvelles, and the globe juggling of the Wartenberg Brothers. The DaComa Family of aero bats. comprising seven ladies and gentle men, who present the most difficult feats of high-class acrobatism in evening cos tune, has never had peer either in this country or Europe. The Alpine Sisters present an unequalled sister act Ahrens and Ashton and the Three Lamonts be- long to the new school of acrobats. The Feeley Troupe of English gymnasts pre- sent some of the most astounding aero batic feats ever seen in a circus ring. These are only few of the great spe- cialists embraced in the roster of famous acrobats. In addition to these superb ar lists there are 60 aerialists, the greatest concourse of mid-air gymnasts ever seen in America; a superb com pany of thirty riders, led by Miss Amelia Feeley, the greatest lady rider that the world has ever produced, and John Rooney, the worlds greatest somersauit rider; 40 fun ny clowns and an immense congress of other clever people, who appear in the greatest three-ring circus performance ever seen in America. The trained animal features include Ringing Brothers latest elephant sensation, in which 20 of these ponderous brutes go through a most in- tricate and sensational performance, in one ring at one time, under the direction of single trainer; O'Brien's remarka- ble sixty-one horse act and many other trained animal acts of surpassing merit. The hippodrome introduces all kinds of thrilling race contests. The menagerie is the largest and finest geological collec- ton on earth. while the street parade that circus day is the most superb display of processional pageantry and i'm perial splendor ever seen upon the streets of any city in the world. This is the only show in the world that exhibits a giraffe.

DOZEN NEW COTTON MILLS FOR TEXAS Yarns Underwear and Hosiery
 Will be Made BAKER, NOISE 6 FARRESTER A Firm of Selling Agents State They Are Willing to Assist Any
 Town That Wants
 NH.
BAKER, NOISE 6 FARRESTER

Houston, October 6.-(SpeciaL)-A doen new cotton mills for Texas is the present plan of big Southern firm that Is already selling the product of large number of Southern textile factories.
 MT. A. G. Baker of the firm of Baker, Noise & Forester is in the city, and says 1t is the intention of his firm to have a chain of cotton mills in this State.
 ''We are selling agents for many of the largest Southern mills" said MT. Baker. and are bringing carload after carload of manufactured goods into this State, and do not see why big part of what we sell here should not be manufactured here.
 There are already dozen or more mills in the State that are manufacturing piece goods. We next want several mills that will be devoted to yarns, under wear and hosiery. One big mill to manu- facture yarns, and several small ones to make the print goods would be paying investments, and our company will take stock in all of them.
 Will Assist Any Town. W C dAC AOouJ LO db5iSA 0iAJ tOWi tAtSN wants cotton mill of this kind. and believe that it would be a paying invest ment anywhere in the Texas cotton belt.
 = Just at present our agents are buy ing the long staple cotton raised in the Brazos bottoms, shipping to mills out side of Texas to be made into hosiery and underwear, and then we bring the .fn f<la l<aN fxNfN fla "a and sell it by the carload to Texas mer- chants.
 "Wouldn't 1t be far more profitable if this cotton was utilized right at homer
 If other states can afford to send to Texas for this raw cotton, why can't Texas make even a greater profit by manufacturing what is within such easy reach?
 Since the discovery of fuel petroleum at Beaumont the question of home manu- factures has become one easier of solu- ton than ever before. We have cheaper fuel than any other southern state that is manufacturing cotton, and we have many other advantages.
 Great Faith In Texas.
 "Our company has great faith in Texas. and we are willing to show our faith by working with any town in the State to To- cate cotton mill. The mills of the class I mentioned do not require large plants nor heavy investments. They are among the smallest mills that utilize cotton yarns and are generally the most profit able.
 Houston should have two or three such mills. The, advantakes of this city as a manufacturing and distributing point are known to every business man in the State, and now that you can get your fuel at next-to-nothing prices factories should spring up here by the hundreds.
 And they will if your citizens will put forth just little effort. and don't get into the Micawber habit"

ATHENS
William T. Sanders Speaks in Favor of
 the New Constitution.

Athens, October 26.-(Special.) )-Hon. w. Thomas Sanders, who was the represen- tative from this Senatorial district in the constitutional convention, spoke today at the courthouse in favor of the new con stitution. His line of argument was edu- cational, and he had at his back large blackboard with the disputed points plain ly set out. Colonel Sanders has the con fidenee of his home people, and when he assured them that no white man was to be disfranchised he carried conviction to his hearers. He also argued in behalf or the new constitution the fact of it's re- .ducing the tax limit, and also spoke of the great advantage that will accrue to the public schools, assuring the people at least five If not nine months of public schools each year. This argument was particularly foroefuL for there was pres ent every township trustee in the county, they having been summoned here by the county superintendent of education to at tend trustees meeting. Hon. Emmett ONeal tqwas to have filled this appoint ment today, but was detained at home, and Colonel Sanders had not expected to make an address, but he made many friends for the constitution by his honest and unequivocal argument.

RUSSIAN SCHOOLS.
The School Garden and What It Does
 for Pupils.


 From Pearsons Magazine.
 For the commencement of the move ment for school gardens in Russia one has to go so far back as 1871. At that time the Russian government adopted measures for the introduction of native studies and for practice in rural indus tries in the primary schools of the em- pire. The peasantry, however, were gem orally apathetic and often hostile. School education, 1t seemed to them, should con- sist of book learning" As a result of their indifference at the end of ten years only six school districts were thus equip ped Gradually, however, as the benefit of the new movement became more wide ly understood, opposition was silenced and applications for special appropria- tions for the establishment and mainten- ance of gardens began to pour in so fast as to actually strain the resources of the central administration.
 By the year 1897 the number of school gardens In the whole of Russia proper was 7521-in other words about 100000 chil- dren were receiving practical tuition" From the reports of Consul Heenan and from other sources it would seem con- servative computation to put the number of Russian children at present enjoying this particular branch of instruction at 52O,0o0.
 When the subject first began to engage the attention of the Russian authorities 1t was found-as 1t had been in other countries-difficult to obtain teachers of sufficient versatility to successfully dis charge the duties of the new system This difficulty was. however, met by an action of the government, which guaran- teed the salaries, not only of the local tutors, but of itinerant experts intrusted with the initiation of the teachers in their new studies As a further encouragement medals diplomas. and even premiums were awarded. while in many cases the teachers were permitted to derive profit

FRENCH SHIPS BEST.
Minister Says They Cost More, But
 Are Worth 1t.

Brest, France. October 26.-Presiding at the launching today. of the armored cruiser Leon Cambetta. the minister of marine, M. de Lanessan. said she was one of new contingent of upwards of one hundred warships. each of which pos sesses perfect fighting qualities.
 Unless unforeseen difficulties occurred abroad, the naval programme would be completed in the time fixed by the Cham Der. and then France would enjoy at sea the same security that her numerous solid battalions assured her on the continent of Europe. While the French vessels were more costly, they were also worth more than the ships of other maritime nations. The French navy was directing it's efforts to the fighting quality of it's ships, rather than to numbers. Only strong. nations could hope to honorably preserve peace and liberty.
