TIE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Who knows himself a braeaart,
Hannis Taylor's New Book.

Elsewhere will pc found a review of MT. Hannis Taylor's new book on in. ternational law. The Register con- cludes that the man who wrote the history of the English constitution and has now presented in the fullest and most comprehensive manner the INV of nations, would be man who would bring honor and prestige to the University of Alabama. The Age-Her- aid wholly agrees with the Register when it says it is unnecessary to go out of the State in order to find suit able man for president of the Uni versity.
 The Age Herald asks a careful read ing of the Registers article elsewhere printed in this issue. The presenta- tion of MT. Taylor's name should have good consideration.

TypIoid Fever Germs.

The annual report of the Connecti- cut State Board of Health includes the story of typhoid epidemic at Forest vile in that State It is clearly shown that the water supply of Forestville was contaminated by drainage from a lttle factory town in which single isolated case of typhoid fever occur red. The evidence is overwhelmingly convincing, and 1t points to the need of greater care in the guarding of water supplies against dangers of con- tamination, and especially should water supplies from small streams be closely patrolled.
 The report of the Connecticut State Board further shows that the mortal ity in hospitals for the treatment of typhoid cases was cut down last year to 68 per cent, whereas the mortal ity in the homes of the people from this cause was 20 per cent. of the actual cases. Hospital treatment is thus shown to be vastly preferable to private treatment.
 But it is better to prevent typhoid than to handle it, and this can be done by preventing the pollution of streams from which water supplies are taken We may safely assume that every case of typhoid is due to the water supply, for the chance of germs in milk contained in cans washed with water from weos or springs. is not very great. AS a rule experience shows that typhoid is the product ot drink ing water. The germ finds lodgment in the intestines, and it must enter the system through the mouth.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

Marianna Wheeler, in Harper's Bazaar.
 Diphtheria is confined to no particular season of the year, but seems to be more prevalent in damp weather. The mem brane of this disease is rarely seen in small separate patches, but in one con- tinuous patch or membrane on one or both sides of the throat; sometimes it is seen only on the uvula, and again spread ing, it covers the entire throat in 8 con- tinuous irregular membrane. When seen at the earliest stage of the disease. the membrane is very misunderstanding, re- semblng somewhat thread of cobweb. or a particle of milk which has not been swallowed, but remained in a little gray streak across the tonsil. This patch does not, however disappear on swabbing. and soon assumes dirty yellowish appear ance; the tissue about 1t Is reddened, and the throat bleeds easily when swabbed.

Mules in Court.

The American mule was brought into Judge Parlange's court in New Orleans at the instance of the Boer l agents, and the mule won in his cus- tomarily easy and jaunty manner. The fundamental principle is that individ- uals acting in their individual capac- ity in a neutral nation can buy and sell and dicker as much as they please in goods, provided of course they ship their goods in merchant vessels, and altogether behave in the ordinary mer- cantile manner If man come along and offer $100 apiece for 100 mules or 100 guns or 100 cases of ammuni- tion, one may sell and the other buy without limit, and such goods may be shipped away in merchant vessels to any port, no matter what war may be going on in some remote corner of the world.
 The contention of the Boer agents in New Orleans was in fact an effort to establish new rule. Heretofore neu- trality has been invoked when people were engaged in fitting out a hostile expedition or in equipping war ves- sel. In no country has there been an attempt to prohibit the dealing in SUD- plies by individuals. Mules may be useful in war, but mules may be bought and sold and shipped away without reference to ultimate use. The wheels of commerce cannot be blocked by distant war, in other words. Mules en route to Capetown may be contra band of war, and the Boers possess the right to seize them on the high seas, but they cannot seize them in their native land. An extension of the contraband theory to all markets would be preposterous. It would par alyze trade in all parts of the world wherever war was begun. This will never do.
 International law is directed against goods headed for the seat of war, but not against transactions between mer- chants in a neutral port, conducting .--emselves as merchants ordinarily do. The mule is at liberty to go to south Africa whenever he sees fit. His liberty is not to be curtailed, and the New Orleans decision involves nothing more than familiar interpretation of international law.

Divorce over the Sea.

''The statement is being made that Italy Is now the only country in Europe with the exception of the Spanish Penin- sula where divorce does not exist the discussion having arisen over some re- cent remarks of Pope Leo in pleading for higher morality amongst the peoples said layman.
 ''The statement Is not true. There is not and has never been any divorce court or law in Ireland, and divorce in Ireland Is impossible except by special personal act of the British Parliament naming the man and woman who may be directly concerned in any proposed or desired di- vorce. The British Parliament being the supreme power over Ireland, as over all the Empire, can enact any law 1t wills upon any subject, there not being su- preme court to annul parliamentary acts.
 There is no divorce in Ireland, and students of and learned writers upon the morals of the different peoples unhesitat- ingly accord to the Irish the first place as a generally moral race. Illegitimate births are almost unknown In Ireland. It is a common experience of travellers or sojourners in Ireland to meet an aged doctor of wide practice extending over a half century, say, who never personally knew of an illegitimate birth. This Is the proudest glory of the Irish race-the mo- ble purity of it's women, whether in the field. the factory or the palace.
 For fifteen hundred years the priceless possession of personal purity has been a most important part Of the religion of the intensely religious Irish, and the result Is a degree of high morals that challenges the praise of the world. In the ancient and densely populated city of Cork. for example, .nere is not house of ill-re- rute, nor so much as one room that could be hired for immoral purposes Glory to Irelandr

Call Out the Voters.

The constitutional convention prop. osition will be submitted to the people on Tuesday next, April 23, and at the Aaene time delegates will be hauofed for. Tfe hen elected will net become delegates T ess the people vote in favor of the \ koldhng of convention.
 The sole difficulty next Tuesday consists in getting out the vote. Every busy man will push his duty to the State upon his neIgf1bor, and if the neighbor be also busy, the vote will be very light. This should not be. for no election of equal importance has been held in the state since 1875-not one.
 Surely no man is so busy that he cannot go to the polls next Tuesday. 1T he be a farmer, let him postpone purchases until Tues.ay, when they can be made, and he can also vote. If ne live in town, he has put negli-
  gence of public duty as an excuse. No man who loves the State that shelters him, and that. gives him protection both in life and property, will stay away from the pons next Tuesday.
 The Age-Herald appeals to every man who desires to put an end to the demoralization that attends ballot box Irregularities to see that he himself not only votes, but that his neigbbors vote. The vote must be brought ont A light vote will be considered eyi- dence of indifference, and the enemies of reform will take courage from if A light vote is the danger to be avoided vote of reasonably full proportions is needed in order to show how deep the interest of the people IS in the movement which has for it's chief object cons ..tutional reform. and It will serve to hold the delegates m 10 their high responsibility.

RICHLY INTELLECTUAL.

From the New York Sun. For the benefit of students of compara- tive magic we take pleasure in registering such college "yells' as disturb the peace from time to time. The Phi Lambda NEp- silon fraternity of the Kansas City Gen. tral High School loves to stir the ether with these awful words:
 Fig. Boom! Alli-ca-rax!
 Rah! Hoo! Rah!
 Phi Lambda Epsilon,
 Rah! Rah! Rah!
 Ching! Ching! Ching
 Chow! Chow! Chow!
 Room a-lack-a! Boom! a-lack-a!
 Bow! Wowl Wow! This college yell" brings out a peculi- arity of the best "yells' which has been too little noticed by scholars. If ever a common medium speech for man and the so-called lower animals is found, it will be an extension and application of the rich intellectual resources of the college .'yell.'
