King Edward seems to be spending
time in looking after the
aummeries OF royalty. and perhaps it
is all that is left for him to do, since
his gracious subjects long since deter
mined to take all the real powers Of
government into their own hands. The
Kings latest effort has been in revis-
ing the national anthem, God Save
the King" Instead of shouting God
save our gracious king" his subjects
are instructed TO sing God save our
lord. the King" This act invites close
inspection of the words. and we are
compelled to say that one form is
about as absurd as the other.

BURNETT SAYS DISTRICT
 HAS GONE TO THE YANKEES
The Pucky Little Congressman Sore Over the Result in Hi 0istrct-He Does Not Believe That Auditor
 Youngblood Will be Appointed

Age-Herald Bureau, cla1cey's Hotel. Montgomery, April 25.-tspecial.)-C gressman John L. Burnett of the Seventh Alabama District is in Montgomery to- day He came to secure the use of the Supreme Court library in preparing some important case for the Supreme Court. which will convene again on Monday. May $.
 MT. Burnett was not in hIs happiest mood this morning He was deploring the vote in his district against the Con stitutional Convention. "Al of the coun- ties in my district save Culman, seem to have gone over to Yankees. ' said the plucky little Congressman.
 MT Burnett was originally opposed to a constitutional convention, but when his party endorsed it. he was ready in the front rank fighting for the measure.
 "The vote against the convention up in my section was largely due the apathy on the part of the white people, how ever,' MT. Burnett continued. Somehow the whites seemed to be not aroused while in many counties the negroes were

ELK COMMITTEES
 REPORT ALL WELL
Manager Leavitt Was Presented With a Beautiful Watch
 and Chain

meeting of all the sub-committees of the executive committee of the Elks was held last night and everything pertaining to the Street Fair and Carnival was re- ported in perfect condition. There is little left now but to open the big gates and let the show begin. All of the booths have been taken and some of the appli> cants are having hard job getting places in which to display their wares. MT. Leavitt has reserved three booths for The Age Herald, Birmingham Ledger and tho News.
 Before the executive committee ad- journed last night MT Meglemery arose and stated that to express the gratitude of the local lodge to MT. H. L. Leavitt for the work he has done in promoting the Street Fair the committee would present him with a beautiful watch and chain which he mint always carry as a token of the esteem in which he is held In Bir- mingham. MT. Leavitt was taken com pletely by surprise but responded in a short speech of thanks in which he said he felt sure that the Birmingham Elks were the best people on earth. The watch is of the Howard make and has a plain gold hunting case. On the inner side of the case is beautiful engraved inscription which tells the story of MT. Leavitt's hard and faithful work and ex- presses the thanks of all the Elks.
 The railroad committee announced that many excursions had been planned in the smaller towns throughout the State and they felt confident that Birmingham would be filled with visitors throughout the coming week of festivities.

thoroughly organized, and they voted solidly against convention MT. Bur nett expressed the opinion that the work of the convention would be brief, believ- ing as he did that the elimination of the ignorant negro from the privileges of the franchise was the principle matter to be considered.
 From a discussion of the convention question, MT. Burnett branched into dis cusion of Republican politics "Notwith- standing the newspaper talk to the con- trary, I do not believe that Auditor Youngblood will again land his position, V he said. '1 am rather inclined to the be- lief that Youngbloods position will go to the South Dakota man, as forecasted in The Age-Herald's special from Washing ton this morning. Collector Bingham IS another Alabamian who is going to nave a hard time to land his job. l doubt very seriously if the President can again be induced to name him, since Chairman Vaughan has been recognized by the President
 MT. Burnett's views on this question are especially interesting to Republicans who are seeking office in Alabama, and would indicate that State Chairman Vaughan's endorsement is still essential to obtaining a piece of pie.

warded three minutes afterward by see ing the patient open her eyes. In few seconds more she raised her head and asked for something to eat The doctors could hardly believe the woman was alive after the remarkable occurrance. While the power of salt to bring the dead back to life has been commented on by the medical journals of the country, few prac- titioners have had the hardihood to risk the chances of failure in giving it trial. Dr. Richstein is probably the first phy- sican in the West to make the test The doctor Is confident that the woman would now be a corpse had he not resorted to the normal salt solution.
 While the discovery of salt as stimu- 1ant Is not new, the manner of it's applica- ton has only been In vogue a short time. The results have. however, been so sat- isfactory that physicians are confident the fluid is capable of starting the ma- chinery of tle body even after it has been stopped for several minutes
 Mrs. Allen went on the table in the best of spirits and we were all surprised when she unexpectedly collapsed" said Dr. Richstein today, in speaking of the case. Everything known to medical science was done to revive her, and we had entirely given up hopes of bringing her back to life when 1t was decided to inject normal salt solution into her veins The injection was made after she had been apparently dead for at least three minutes and we were rewarded almost immediately by seeing her open her eyes. The first thing she did after coming back to life was to ask for something to eat and she is now resting well, with every indication pointing to a speedy recovery. l am satisfied the woman's heart did not pulsate for at least three minutes, and every movement of the respiratory sys- tenn stopped before the injection of the salt solution was made.
 Salt is a wonderful product. and it's value is realized more now by the medi- cal fraternity than it ever was before. Salt promises to revolutionize medical science, and I would not be surprised to see 1t some day become the agent by which the slender thread of life will be prolonged to a remarkable extent"
 Mrs. Allen is 40 years old and the moth CT of twelve children. Dr. Richstein is one of the youngest physicians in the city and obtained his medical education in the East.

SALT REvIvEs THE DEAD.
Remarkable Success of an Experiment
 in an Evansville Hospital.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
 Evansville, Ind, April 14.-The bringing back to life of Mrs. Sallie Allen at a To- cal hospital by the injection into vein of a normal salt solution is being widely commented on by physicians in this sec tion of the country. The solution was nothing more than a teaspoonful of com mon salt dissolved in a point of water. Mrs Allen is getting along all right and the chances of recovery are greatly in her favor.
 Mrs Allen had long suffered with ab- dominal trouble, and decided on an oper- ation as the last resort to save her life. She was taken to a sanitarium Friday night, and when the operation was fin- ished, three physicians examined the womans pulse and pronounced her dead. Her respiratory glands failed to perform their functions Nitroglycerin, strych- nine and other stimulants used to revive her hearts action were brought into use, but they failed to revive the patient.
 As a last resort Dr. Richstein opened a vein in the woman's arm and injected a pint of normal salt solution. He was re-

 At Huntington, W. Va, although the river became stationary tonight at 57.3 feet, a great portion of that city as we'll as of the surrounding towns, Is still under water.
 At Parkersburg, W. Va, tonight, the river had fallen to 24 feet, and was fall ing at the rate of an inch an hour The flooded districts showed much damage, and hundreds of people at work
 At Charleston, w Va, the Kanawha was rising again tonight, and registered 21.4 feet at 10 o'clock. Elk River was also rising because of the melting snow in the mountains.
 At Frankfort, Ky, big damage is re- ported up the Kentucky River. The gov ernment lock gates at High Bridge, in Jessamine County, have been washed away which will cause suspension of river traffic above that point for week or more.

CURIOSITY IS EXCITED.
Appearance of Engineer Corps Causes Considerable Speculation at Selma.

Selma, April 25.-(Special.) l.)-The appearance of a surveying party, consisting of twelve white men and three negroes, which have started out surveying from Thomaston, the pres ent terminus of the B. s. &S N. O., has Seiyen rise to reports, of what is likely to De the ultimate destination of the Great Short Line" The Age-Heralds s correspondent has been informed thai an engineer has just recently re turned from making trip on horse
 back from Martins to New Orleans
 and has nlade his report to the proper authorities. This has come on good authority, and appears to be true. It is stated that three surveys are to be made, one to New Orleans, another to Meridian, Miss, and another to Jackson, Miss How true this latter 1s could not be ascertained. Colonel Abbot himself is authority for the statement that the surveying corps is in the field for the purpose of lay ing out the route for another fifteen mile extension, which will place the road nearly to Linden.
 If the contention is correct that the Louisville and Nashville is behind the B. s. & N. O., then the extension to New Orleans means simply that the Louisville and Nashville, not caring to doubletrack Its present line, expects to build the road from Selma to Bloc ton, and then will have practically a double track from Birmingham to Pen sacola, Mobile and New Orleans.
