M|LLER'S LATEST EFFORT
 ID ESCAPE TIE GALLONS
Starts an Endless Chain of Letters Through a Good Sister of
 Mercy in New York

Frank ailler, one of the gang of des- perate criminals who Is in the county jail under sentence of death for killing Officer Adams of the Birmingham police department, Is using every effort to es- cape the gallows and is undauted by tho failure of several of his plans to carry. His latest effort to arouse public sympa- thy and to secure funds with which to make a fight for his life Is perhaps the most ingenious plan ever resorted to by condemned man. It Is the "endless chain" scheme, and came to light in New York city several days ago, when Sister Mary Xaxier of the Convent of Mercy at No. 1915 Madison avenue received the initial letter which has started an appeal in the prisoners behalf that may bring him thousands of dollars.
 The New York World of Sunday, which reached Birmingham yesterday, contained the following interesting account of Mill CTS plans and the full text of his letter, as follows:
 Sister Mary Xavier of the Convent of Mercy, at No. 1075 Madison avenue, yes terday received one of the strangest ap- peals ever made to her in her long ca reer of aiding the helpless and afflicted.
 Frank Miller, who is awaiting death by hanging in the jail at Birmingham. Ala, for the murder of two policemen, wrote her a pitiful letter declaring that he was inocent and that he will be execu- ted unless financial aid be given him to get a new trial.
 He makes the unique request that an endless chain be started to save him from the gallows. each subscriber contributing ten cents. In this way, he says, a fund him new trial and save his life. This is has thought of using the endless chain system.
 MlIer's Letter.
 Tn his letter to the Sister, Miller says: Standing in the shadow of the gallows, a stranger in the land, everybodys hand against me and convicted of a crime of which I am innocent, I pray a kind consideration of this appeal, which may save a life.
 1900, two policemen of this city were shot with the crime, and thirty-ntpe days af- ter my arrest was tried, convicted and sentenced to meet death on the gollows
 "Being a stranger without money or friends here, l was given no time, nor chance to make proper defense and secure witnesses in my behalf In order to prove my innocence.

interest TO the geologist as well az to the
anthropologist.
Upon being asked for his opinion as to
the origin of the men who drew these
pictures, DR.. Merriam replied that it
was question not yet definitely decided,
whether or not these Indians came from
eastern Asia, or are descendants of Pale
olithic men, those of the stone age, the
earliest known with but one exception.
Remains Of these ancient Paleolithic
men are found scattered over Europe,
particularly Belgium and France; also
in Asia Undia), and possibly northern
Africa. With their bones are always
found flint implements. The theory for
believing that the American Indian is
descended from the Paleolithic man
rests mainly upon the fact that flint in
struments Of much the same type as
those in Europe have been found here.
These differ slightly in form, but this
has been ascribed largely to difference
in the material. The Paleolithic man
had Il receding chin and forehead, and
small brain. lie had peculiarly large
and strong back teeth, which cores.

This Pnleolithic man, as said before,
is the earliest known form of man with
but one exception, one found in the

others an ape. lie is evidently closely

CHINESE TO CUT OFF CUES.

The leaders Of the Chinese Reform

from the chief officers OF the society
that cues must be sacrificed on the al

recently 10 a New York sun reporter:
"In my opinion, the reform Of China
does not necessitate the cutting of Of
cues. In fact, such reforms, where
they touch the religious obseryances
and old customs Of China, tread on
dangerous ground. The proper way 10
reform China is 10 adopt such educa-
