Will Be No Change.

The interest in the effort to have
change made in the postmaster
ship here appears to have died out.
When this was made presidential

seems probable that he will be aole
to serve through the four Years addi-

GRIEF IN SELMA
Flag at HaIf-Mast-Senator Pettus Is
 Shocked.

Selma, September 14.-(Special. .)-Flags are at half mast in Selma today over the many buildings and at the postoffice crepe bound flags are draped over the entrance. Several business houses are also draped in black, all signifying the sorrow for the dead President of the United States. Last night committee from Camp Jones, U. c. V., was appointed to draft appropriate resolutions and such other steps as were deemed proper when the end, which was reported but few hours off, should oc- cur The committee appointed at the mass meeting of citizens held when the President was shot to take the proper steps for memorial exercises In the event of his death held a meeting this evening and on the day of the funeral business will be suspended in Selma, guns fired and solemn services held in one of the churches.
 Senator Pettus Is much shocked and grieved over the death of the President. He does not look for any visible change in the affairs of government by the eleva- ton of Vice President Roosevelt to the Presidency, for, says he, Roosevelt and Mckinley were both of the same party, and believed in the same principles. I do not look for any change of policies in the conduct of the affairs of government, though 1t would not surprise me to see the republican party in the throes of tur- moil before many months. MT. Roose- welt will certainly be President of the United States He cannot take orders from anybody, and that may create dis turbance."

Al G. Fields Minstrels.

At one time the most favored variety of theatrical entertainments was that fur nished by the minstrels. Then came a time when this popularity fell away. -t remained in late years for a couple of gentlemen to revive this interest and re- store this form of attraction to its proper place in the modern school of popular en- tertainments. The most successful of these workers is Al. G. Field, who, with his Greater Minstrels. are this season making their seventeenth annual tour of the United States and Canada The origi- nality of the first part is an innovation. The concise and stiff arrangement have been superseded by grouping which re- lieves all semblance of monotony. The title of this new production is "A Day and a Night at the Pan-American Expo sition," and is scenic representation of the beauties of the Exposition. A series of views of the different beautiful build ings is presented. All who have visited the Pan-American are conversant with the fact that the spectacle at night, when the S65. 900 electric bulbs are slowly turned on with the great and mighty power of Niagara Falls, is the most brilliant and awe-inspiring sight ever witnessed in the history of the world. The company is .nu- merically. as well as artistically, stronger than last season, and the production bears the stamp of newness. The Al. G. Fields Minstrels will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre next Wednesday afternoon and night.

.SUPT. PHILLIPS TELLS OF SCHOOLS Preparing for ths Opening on
 September 24 GIVES HINTS TO PUPILS Regrets That New Buildings Have Not Been. Completed-overfsow Must
 Be Accommodated In
 Old Ones.

The public schools of the city will open on Tuesday morning, September A, at o'clock.
 For the general information of the pub lie Superintendent Phillips makes the fol- lowing statement:
 "On Thursday morning, September 20, at o'clock, all conditioned pupils, or those who have had work assigned as a condition of entrance into certain classes will report at their schools in order that they may comply with the conditions of promotion. Those who fail to be present on Thursday may not be able to receive opening of the schools.
 'On Monday morning, September g. at g o'clock. new pupils are requested to re- port at the school in the district In which they reside for admission and classifica- tion. This applies to all children that were not registered in the schools last year. Those who for any reason cannot be present on Monday are requested to report on Thursday, the 2Oth. The object of this request Is to secure the classifica- ton and assignment of all new pupils so Lhdt tucTc may Do uO 0tihg WHcA bilcy SA- ter on Tuesday morning. New students applying for admission to the high school are requested to report at the high school building on Monday morning.
 "All the teachers of the white schools are requested to report at the high school building on Saturday morning, September 2l, at 9:30 o'clock, when assignments for work and important directions will be given. The negro teachers will meet at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 Tt is a matter of regret that the new school buildings will not be ready for the opening on Tuesday. Under the t\cum- stances, the children that will naturally belong to these schools will be received and registered in the old schools. It is proposed to use the teachers of the new schools to assist in those rooms of tho present buildings that will be the most crowded. All children on the south of thv railroads will therefore be registered at the Paul Hayne School, and when the Lakeview and Ullman schools are ready, the transfer can be made without loss 70 the pupils. Those living north of the rail- roads and west of Nineteenth street will be received at the Henley School, and those east of Nineteenth street at the Powell School"

 OYER ALL FRANCE
President Loubet Sends Mes- sage of Coincidence to
 Mrs. Mckinley

Paris, September 14-President Loubet has sent the following dispatch to Mrs Mckinley:
 T learn with deep pain that his excel lency has succumbed to the deplorable attempt on his life. I sympathize with you with all my heart in the calamity which thus strikes at your dearest af- factions and which bereaves the great American nation of President so justly respected and loved.
 EMILE LOUBET."
 The Premier, M. Waldeck- Rousseau called at the residence of the United States ambassador.
 The registers opened at the United States embassy office and Ambassador Porter's residence are quickly filling with names of American residents and visitors and with those of notable Frenchmen Paris Is crowded with Americans at the present time and the boulevards are dot ted with little groups reading and dis cussing the details of the Presidents last moments. Numbers of Americans are af- ready wearing black ties and many ladies have donned mourning.
 The expressions of sympathy from Frenchmen Is as sincere now as 1t was when the cables announced the news Of the attempt on the Presidents life. The death of President Mckinley, It is under stood will not interfere with the general programme of the Czar's visit to France. The reviews, maneuvers and receptions will be held, but the public festivities will be subdued to a great extent.
 All the papers print articles deplorins the death of President Mckinley and bi- ographies of the late President and Pres ident Roosevelt.
 The Temps refers to the responsibility of the doctors in giving President McKln> ley too nutritious food. It says: ITO le- gitimate sorrow to the mourning of the entire nation mingles a gnawng doubt regarding the treatment and skill of the doctors"
 A1luding to President Roosevelt, the Temps says: What perspectives? What touch of the magic wahd. What mingled, troubling sentiments must occu- py his mind"
