BOGRS AT BERMUDA.
Lxfe OF the Prisoners and Their Sem
timent Toward the British.

The Boer prisoners recently trans
ported TO Hamilton, Bermuda, are as
whole a fine looking lot of men. The
Free Staters. who number about 500
men, have been placed on DarrelIs Is
land. and the TranSvaalers, a less con
tented crowd, whose confessed desire Is
20 be free to fight again and who num-
Der about 130, are on Burtt's or Moses
island, says the New York Times. The
former are orderly and quiet, well man
nered and many of them educated.
They say they never wanted to fight,
but that It was case of fight or be
shot" They recognize also that their
cause IS hopeless and only desire to re-
turn to their homes to live peacefully.
One of them said:
Il am a wagon maker. Before the
war broke out l used to earn $40 day
at my trade. | own n farm, for which
have paid In full; at least l did own
1t. | suppose the British government
owns It now. | was pressed into fight
ing. Had l refused l would have been
shot. | know our cause Is lost. All l
want Is to return to my family, my
wife and my six children. l left them
enough money to last them u months,
but | have been away now for III
months. However l trust the British
government will take care of them"
The want of occupation is the chief
cause of complaint among the prison
ers. They want tools, which, Of course,
are not allowed them. They have bus
led themselves In the manufacture Of
various souvenirs, which they readily
sell but their only tools are penkniyes,
most Of them with broken blades, and
sharpened nails and pieces of wire. The
local authorities have taken into con
sidcration the matter of providing for
the prisoners amusement.
When the prisoners disembarked
from the troopship the other day,
crowds gathered In boats, and several
persons got an opportunity TO speak
few words to the Beers. One woman
was accosted by a prisoner, who apollo
gized for addressing her by saying that
It was so long-l8 months-Since he
had chance to speak to woman.
The same woman got some souvenirs,
such as carved stone brooches, meChan-
ical toys and carved boxes, most Of
them bearing carved images of Mr..
Kruger.
Since the prisoners occupation of the
camp martial law has been proclaimed
on the islands. Two gunboats guard
either end and buOys are placed to de-
fine the dead line

Unless Russia learns to overcome the
difficulties of Siberian winter the
Transsiberian railroad will not prove
to be very efficient instrument Of
military or commercial aggression in
the orient. The breaking Of the 90
pound rails used on that read caused
many derailments last winter, and the
snow made 1t impossible to run heavy
trains. Furthermore, the railroad fer
ries ON Lake Baikal, which were sup
posed to be ice crushers, not only failed
to accomplish their purpose, but were
themselves badly damaged and for two
months were out of service. Resort
had to be had to a road over the ice,

BIBLE FOR GOOD ROADS.
Commanded That Valleys BE Exalted
and Mountains lowered.

Speaking at a good roads meeting at
Grenada, Miss, the Rev. w. 4. Ham
lett said:
THE subject Of good roads, now be
ing agitated is worthy the profOundcst
consideration. The necessity of such
Improvement is so potent that he who
would oppose it would only advertise
his stand against progress. This mat
ter of good roads Improvement is not
without its precedent, both anciently
and scripturaIly. We. in this modern
age of energy and invention, are rather
inclined 10 scotf at the people whose
existence is but dim historic memory.
Nevertheless, on the subject of inn
proved, well kept highways, we may
well sit at their feet and learn. \
mere glance at Rome teaches us that.
"What would Romes senators or
legions of war have done for the City
of Seven Hills had it not been for her
splendid system of good roads? Hay
ing conquered an outlying province, she
linked it to herself by one of her en-
durable highways, over which social
and commercial communication was
established or over which an army
could march with ease in time of re-
bellions. Today traces of these roads
still exist, and, having endured the
ravages of weather and time, they re
main TO remind us of that principle of
Rome worthy Of imitation by any ma
ton. Rome would never have been
what she was had it not been for her
roadways. 4 system of good roads
makes a good city or nation. This is
automatic.
Moreover, Scripture uses this prin-
ciple as n figure: When the Almighty,
through prophecy, had promised Say
iour, he Hkened him to a king who
was about 10 visit his people and in
honor of whom the highway should
be put in perfect order. Prepare ye
the way of the Lord; make straight in
the desert highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low
isaiah Xl, 81 Even so there is another
king though an uncrowned one, who
wishes to visit our cities, but who is
hindered by the unsatisfactory con
dition of our roads If he comes, he
will bring plenty with him. l refer to
his majesty the farmer. He can exist
in his Independent way without the
cities, but the cities can't exist without
him. Prepare your highways, eXalt the
valleys bring low the hills, and let this
king come i'll. Citizens, build good

1t will deeply grieve Americans who
are given to sporting arms and crests
on their personal belongings to learn
that the English papers consider them
as suitable subjects for criticism when
they display their inherited crests with
out the coats Of arms. which should al
ways accompany them. No crests. no
coats OF arms. says the heraldic au-
thority. 1t is decidedly out of place,
for instance, to place the family crest
upon your harness, servants buttons
and funkies' livery generally or to
paint the coat Of arms upon your car
rIage door or your hatchment or marble
tomb or to have 1t engraved on seal
or signet ring. on book plate or plate
for writing paper. Either without the
other is n sure sign Of vulgarlty or the
bar sinister or some of those dreadful
things which the college OF heraldry
has invented and applies to all those
who do not agree with It's way of look
Ing at things. Anglomaniacs will please
take notice.

Just seven weeks from today the pri- maries of the Democratic party, prelim- mary to the constitutional convention, will take place, and so those citizens who de- desire to be delegates in the convention haven't, in most individual instances per haps, any too much time in which to place their claims before a politics-ridden pub lic," a prominent man said. "As yet the advertising columns of the Age-Herald, show the name of no avowed candidate in and for Jefferson County, and that would indicate that if there be any candidates they are not earnestly enough so to feel impelled to impart their desires to the great mass of the voters.
 "State Chairman Robert J. Lowe IS candidate for the nomination for the State at-large, as was authoritatively declared in this place yesterday morning.

Vanderbilt and Mrs. French will send gen. erous sums to the Newport police relief fund, a charity founded and practically maintained by Newport's summer resi- dents. Nor were the attaches of the Aquid- neck National Bank forgotten, who took care of the wedding gifts.

Hazlnu al West Point.

The strong language of Senators Al len, Money and McCumber against haz. ing at West Point would be much more to the point if they would offer an amendment to the army bill directing the dismissal of all hazers from the academy. That would put an end to the brutal practice at once, and noth- ing else will
 Senator Allen stated on the floor of the Senate that he had information go- ing to show that there is great deal of method in the compound of brutality and cowardice called hazing. He says there is ring of army officers sons vho propose that army officers shall oe exceeded by sons only. Here is a fine chance for the newly established empire. Here is cast of the purest qual- ity An academy for army officers sons, and so on ad infinitum. If the Supreme Court uphold the empire, this lromising army branch should not be overlooked.
 Senator Aliens information goes -ong ways to account for the support nat army officers uniformly give to nazing. It explains why the practice las not been stamped out Cadets can under present rules be dismissed for lazing, and yet not one ever has been. The army proposes to perpetuate itself, or rather the official part of it does. The rank and file are not taken into consideration outside of New Jersey. The dead cadet, Booz, came from priv ate life-just the son of citizen, and he was hazed out of the academy and finally out of this world. The trouble was the brutes who conducted the case overdid their part of the work.
 The people expect Congress to put an end to this practice, be it brutality. cowardice, or merely idiocy, or a com pound of all three. It is we'll determined that army officers will not of their own will stop it, and the people look to Con- gress for action, and very decisive ac- tion at that.

E ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Pennsylvania Democrats Angry.

The Age-Herald has no desire to ques- Democrats of Pennsylvania in dealing with the members of the party in their Democrats who supported MT. Quay, that is their business, and not the busi- ness of the Alabama Democrats. The party in each State should be left free to manage it's own affairs, subject of course to the national platform.
 But if those Pennsylvania Democrats could put themselves in the shoes of Southern Democrats, and could sec things from a Southern point of view they would not be so ready to condemn Mr. Quay and MT. Quay's supporters as they now are. For it was MT. Quay who did more than any other one man to defeat the force bill, and MT. Quay is man that a Southern Senator or Representative never appeals to fruit lessly. So far as The Age-Herald can recall cases MT. Quay never yet refused to vote for an appropriation for the i'm provement of Southern harborsA or riv- CTS or cities.
 The famous Pennsylvania politician is good partisan; he believes in party and party methods; but still he is in q general sense friendly to the South, and the Democrats who supported him at Harrisburg have incurred no enmi- ties in this section of the country The State is Republican, and is entitled to Republican Senators, an4 Mr. Quay is in every way better friend to Southern Democrats than Mr. Wanamaker or any one else of his goody-good crowd would have been in Washington
