PRESIDENT HAYS.
Man Who Receives Highest salary
of Any Railroad Executive.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Only twelve years ago Charles -.
Eays, the new president of the Soul
ern Pacific railroad. held clerical
position. Now he receives the highest
Sc airy paid to any railroad president
in America-probabl in the world
This is said TO be $55, 900, or $4,000 NOR,
than Is paid to the president of the
United States. The popularity of Mr..
Hays mental equipment which enables
him to command this splendid income
is we'll illustrated by a certain bunch
of old letters reposing in the pige0
hole of the desk of an official who vas
subordinate to Mr.. Hays when The
latter was general manager of the
Wabash road. Some of these epiStles
are cnly two or three lines In length,
but not one of them is too short to
contain sentence of official commen-
datiOn of a kind calculated to stir the
heart % the most Indifferent subordln-
ate. The ability to bestow approval
with the same uIscernment and
promptness with which he metes out
criticism is held to be the secret of
his phenomenal success.
His complete demonstration of re-
markable abilities for harmonizing
conflicting interests and attracting a
large, popular and loyal following was
made as vice-president and general
manager of the Grand Trunk line.
Here he encountered deep-seated
prejudice against his Yankee origin
and American methods. From flag
man to directors the road was
staunchly British. Red tape and Of
ficialism were highly developed in the
service. There was not, 1t Is said, a
typewriting machine III any Office Of
the system.
One of the first orders issued by Mr..
Hays was for force of stenographers
and typewriters, and an equipment Of
machines for the entire system. But
the most revolutionary practice which
he carried into effect on the big Cana
dian road was the "open door" policy.
Not only did Mr.. Hays keep his own
door open to all who had legitimate
and important business, but he also
saw to it that the doors of the Of
fcials under him were broadly open to
the public. Mr. Hays is only forty
four years of age and was born in
Rock Island, Illinois.

and coarse waste, after being care
fully washed to remove all grease and
dirt, is crushed under a revolving
stone and sifted into six sizes. The
sitting is done by means OF revolving
cylinders of wire cloth having from 10
to 30 wires to the inch. A surface Of
thin glue Is spread on the paper and
the sifted glass busted over IL with a
sieve. One patent process consists of
coating cloth in this manner instead
Of paper. two applications Of glue and
sifted glass being applied.
The process of soldering glass is not
very common, and the fact of ever re-
sorting to a soldering process for the
purpose of uniting two pieces Of glass
would hardly be thought Of outside of
the business.
In Vienna, a process is worked
which makes curled or frizzled yarn
from glass. The composition of the
glass Is peculiar and 1t is kept a care
ful secret. The material costs but
little and the yarn is made rapidly. It
Is woven into fabrics, which are used
for many different purposes, such as
carpets, table linen, shawls, etc. A
dress made for the Hawaiian princess,
Lilliokuoani, was written and talked
about some years ago, though the ma
terial has not become fashionable, A
cloth is made having a warp Of silk
with a glass woof, which Is very lus-
trous and pretty.
1t would be impossible to enumerate
the extent or give an adequate idea of
the scope Of the glass exhibit at the
Pan-American. Such thoroughly
classified history of glass, Its useful
ness and its ornate value was never
before attempted. Besides the exhibit
proper, a glass actory will be in oper-
alton showing the process of manufac-
ture in great variety Of articles from
the crude materials to the finished
product. Herbert Shearer.

ly Labor Involved.
Q. G. Adams, in The Worlds Work.
The textbooks which our school
children used one hundred years ago
told them nothing of the Rocky Noun
tains or the ranges of the Pacific
slope. The exploration OF three
fourths of our vast domain has been
the work of our government and pri-
vate citizens. In a broad sense. it has
been well done; and in the past twen-
ty-one years 1t has been succeeded by
detailed studies and surveys which
should be specially mentioned for they

been carried out on a large scale only
in the nineteenth century, and which
Is essential to the production of the
most accurate maps. No topographic
feature or town or the distribution Of
economic resources can be mapped
with the greatest attainable accuracy
till these surveys are made. They in

These surveys and the resulting
maps are one of the most scientific de-
velopments of geographic research in
this century They have been COM
pleted in all countries of Europe ex-
cept in Norway, Spain, Turkey, and
some OF the Balkan States. The great
survey of India is one of the monu-
ments of cartography, and similar
surveys are far advanced in Algeria
and Tunis. The topographic work has
been carried by our general govern
ment, with the assistance of a few
states, into all the states and territor-
les, and nearly a third of our entire
area has now been completed. The
labor is enormous and costly and
many years will elapse before the
whole country can be mapped with
the refinement and accuracy that
characterize the map sheets of the
most of Europe.

committee had placed the attorney gen. eral on the board, saying it was neces- sary to have some one there to represent the state.
 MT. Sanford of Pike said the attorney general ought to be on the board for the reason that he was familiar with the facts of the case. He had no personal interest in the cases, and was as apt to be mercifui as any other man.
 MT. Sanford then moved to table MT. Pettus motion This was adopted by a vote of s4 to 13.
 Mir. Smith of Mobile moved to amend the section so as to give the Governor power to grant repr1eves without consult ing the board of pardons. This amend ment was tabled.
 Judge Coleman of Greene moved to add to the section the words, "and approved by the board of pardons." This was adopted.
 MT. Lomax of Montgomery moved to add fines and forfeitures as a subject of the Governors report. This was adopt
 As finally adopted section IF reads ss follows:
 Section 12. The Governor shall have power to remit fines and forfeitures, un- der such rules and regulations as may he prescribed by law; and, after conviction. to grant reprives, paroles, communications of sentence and pardons. The attorney general secretary of state and state audi tor shall constitute board of pardons, who shall meet on the call of the Cover nor, and before whom shall be laid all recommendations or petitions, for pardon or communications or paroles, in cases of felony, except impeachments, and the board shall hear them in open session, and give their opinion in writing, to the Governor thereon. after which or on the boards failure to advise for more than

a law. and in this sense it would be the same whether he had one day or ten days in which to approve a bill.
 General Sanford of Montgomery favored the amendment. He said an act which might be innocent when the Legislature adjourned, might ten days later by the approval of some bill be made a crime. Property rights might also become in volved in these ten days, and he hoped MT. Hef1in's amendment would be adopt ed.
 MT. Hefin spoke in favor of his amend ment. He did not think 1t wise to give the Governor ten days to approve bills after the Legislature adjourned.
 MT Wilson of Clarke said he had first thought with Mir Hefiin that this provis- ion gave the Governor more power, but after consideration he did not think it gave the Governor any greater power to kill legislation than he now had.
 MT. Hefin's amendment was then, on notion tabled.
 MT. DeGraffenried then offered an amendment to provide for a bill becoming law when vetoed by the Governor and when the Governor fails to propose any amendment.
 Radical Innovation.
 MT. Lowe of Jefferson opposed both the report of the committee and the amend ment because both allowed the executive to suggest amendments to legislation, which he said was radical innovation in our system of government and struck down the line of demarcation between the executive and the Legislature. It gave the Governor power to say to the Legis- 1ature accept my amendment or your bill fails" He moved to recommit seo- tion thirteen to the committee with in structions to eliminate this feature from the section.
 Governor Jones said the committee had not yet been heard on the question, and as 1t was within ten minutes of the ad- journing hour, which time would not be sufficient for him to explain the section, he moved to adjourn, which motion was carried, and the convention adjourned un- til noon Monday.

 Benjamin Fitzpatrick, who died in 1869, was the first Governor whose remains lay in state in the Capitol. He did not, however, die in office. Governor Thomas H. Watts died in 1893. The Governor ten dered the use of the Capitol to his fam fly that his remains might lie in state. His family however, did not avail them- selves of the offer

COAL MINERS WILL
 MEET TOMORROW They Are Said to Want an h. crease in Pay ALSO TWO-WEEKS PAY DAY Negro Paper Gives Some Advice To the Miners of Both Races, Saying
 That This Is No Time for
 Strike.

A meeting of the coal miners of this district will be held at Elks' Hall Mon day for the purpose of considering the question of the new scale of wages for the coming year.
 It is not known just what will be de- manded by the miners, but 1t is said they will ask for increase in pay, difference in hours and pay day every two weeks After their meeting a joint meeting of miners and operators will be held, be- ginning June "A. .+ this meeting attempts will be made zach satisfactory agreement.
 The colored are taking part in the coming 8, ,le. An editorial in the Hot Shot, negro paper, has the fol- lowing advice on the question:.
 During the coming week the coal miners of Alabama, and there are many colored miners among them, will hold their annual meeting in Birmingham for the purpose of forming their wage scale for the year commencing July l. The miners will meet and formulate the scale on the 24th inst. and present it to the operators for adoption. It Is to be hoped that the miners will present a scale that will be acceptable to the operators, for it must be admitted that these are no times for any strike or set backs The pros perity of the country must be continued and the miners who are doing reasonably we'll must consider before taking any rash steps.
 "The operators claim that the coal mar ket has been very quiet for some time They can perhaps show where their in- terests have b1ffered. It Is wise, there fore that the miners listen to the oper-
 ators and if the latter show satisfactorily that their position is not an assumed one, it behooves the miners to be reas- enable and to offer compromise. The col- ored miners are with the white miners, but 1t must be well understood that the colored miner has his interests to look after as well as the white man. It is not believed that the white miners are going to cast off the colored miners, nor will the colored miners leave the white min CTS of their own accord, but the colored
 man should be ready to listen to the pre- sentation to be made by the operators" fahen01:' y8S- asrdlu acmfwyp amhfawy
