Want Him Lynched.

The people Of the north, even
that the Dorthern press and pul
pit, seem willing to admit at last
there sre some crimes which would
seem to justify lyrching on the spot" "
Such a crime they consider the ruthless
shooting of so noble a man as the na-
tion's chief executive. As revolving
as it really is, can it be considered more
so than the assault and murder Of q
pure woman by 5 black iend? Il the
cogaldly shooting Of = president can
50 arouse people as to cali forth senti'
ments in Justification tf lyrching, what
in the name Of heaven must be the
frenzy Ct the neig ghbozs when they find
some innocent wife and mother cold in
death, with, perhaps, her helpless in.
fant lying beside her in a pool Of its
mother blood? Is awful IS IS the
punishment tina. So swiftly follows such
crimes, how light does it seem in com.
ps.ison with the crime itself.-Atlanta
Journal.

Fat Job For Parker.

The Atlantis negro, James Parker,
who felled the presidents sssailans st
Bufslo, will probably secure a lucra.
tive berth from the administration the
reward of his courageous act. Parker
ia still employed as waiter on the e1-
position grounds, but from press in
dications there is talk at Washington
Of providigng the negro with govern
ment position thst will be suitable re-
cognitlon Of his prompt action in knock
ing Czolgosz to the floor. The public
seems willing to accept the theory that
Parker actually saved the life Of the
president by ovarpowaring the anarchist
before he hsd opportunity to hre the
third time. Parker, according to reports,
is being heroiz:d in Buffalo. The
clothes worn By him on the day OF the
shooting have practically sll been dis
posed Of and at Parker's OWE price.

a BOSTON MANS PRIDE
And How It Met With g Great
Fall.

Fall.
A fall has been taken out Of one
Robert Treat Paine, Of Boston, in q
way that merits applause and it was
handed gentleman by man bearing
tho same name who resides in New
York. It is common in this age Of
similarity Of names for men to have
their letters mixed and it was through
just such an occurrence that Paine, Of
Boston, discovered to his sorrow shat
there livsd another Paine in New York.
L SEEMS ths New York man got some
CT the Boston mans letters, and see
irg that ahey were intended Tor another
sent tham forward With this note:
please f7d enclosed letter opened
by ne By mistake. Fer your own con-
vepiecce, kindly notify persons send
ing money to you Of your proper ad-
dress"
pne man from the Hub was angered,
not only because the letters were mixed
bat because there vas smother bearing
tie same name. He sent the following
r7plv to New York:
Your letter with the er closure has
baeu received by me. hope sou will
allow me- to express sincere regret that
you should bear the name that by right
Of lineage belongs TO NE and my family
here il Boston. There is no other d.
rect descendant OF Robert Treat Paine,
gigner Of the Declaration Of lndepend-
eaee, who gas the first to bear that
name. IL the name was given to
you out Of honor to the siguer, I think
such practice should not receive the
sanction Of any thoug ugh:ful person."
Plain Mr. Robert Treat Paine Of
New York VAS surprised at the tone Of
The letter written By Mr.. Robert Treat
Paine, Of Boston, 80 he wrote him Sc
lection that seems to fit the case eZ-
acsly:
Your remarkable letter has been
received by me snd for tn, reason that
it is impossible to stop the bray of the
donkey without killing the ass, I will
allow you to express your sincere re.
gret. The family to which I have the
honor to belong existed long before the
signing Of the Declaration Of Independ,
enoe, and your statement tha. the sign
er was the first to bear the name sug-
gests thoughts as to his sntscsdents.
l have never been sufficiently interest
ed to trace up ny genealogical tree,
and certainly I shall not do it now, lest
I might find that one Of its withe1ed
branches reached out to you"
So the Boston man doubtless reslizes
by this time that There are others"

DEAL FOR STREET RAILWAY.
Montgomery Car System May Bs
 Bought By Eastern Syndicate.

Montgomery, December 17.-(Special)- There was a rumor current in Montgom- cry this morning that the property of the Montgomery Street Railway Company is soon to change ownership. A well in- formed attorney told a correspondent of The Age-Herald this morning that all arrangem ents for the transfer of the property had been made, and that the deal would be fifinally consumated before the end of the present week. According to this attorney the property will be sold outright to an Eastern syndicate, and with the sale there would be an entirely new set of officers in control. About $150,O0O Is to be expended in putting the property in first-class shape.
 The rumor of this sale could not be con- firmed today because of the absence from the city of President Dimmick. who is re- ported to be in Gotham. It Is believed his absence has to do with the sale The change of ownership will be welcomed by the citizens of this city, c- very un- satisfactory service has be n furnished under the present ownership.

MT. Bacon Returns from New York and Discusses h.
 dustriaI Conditions
RAIL MILL TO START SOON
Shortage of Cars HandIeaps Ensley Steel MlIl-Hundreds of Tons Are Sold and Waiting to
 Be Moved.

Don. Fl. Bacon, chairman of the board and Railroad Company, has returned from New York where he was for sev- eral weeks going over the affairs Of the company. He is now engaged in car rying forward plans of improvements here which he began some time ago.
 In discussing iron and steel conditions and the new steel rail mill at Ensley yesterday he said:
 While we cannot say just what day we will be able to begin the making of rails, we can say that it is only ques- ton of weeks. We have had our work delayed by the failure of Northern man ufacturers to carry out their contracts with us. For instance we should have had in our plant last March quite quan- tity. of electrical-working apparatus, dy- namos and other connective materials, which we have not yet received. This has been shipped, however, and is ex- pected within a few days.
 q find conditions in the district very satisfactory indeed, except that we are SAAN heavy demand for iron and steel on &C., count of the car famine. I cannot give the exact percentage of shipments we are making compared to our contract de- mands, but know we are behind. We have at the steel plant many hundred tons of steel which we cannot move because we cannot get cars. We have the same trouble at our mines and iron furnaces. This same story Is being told throughout the entire country. Everywhere the rail- roads are unable to supply the demand for cars.
 "The demand for steel is greater than ever in the history of steel-making for the month of December. Future-shipment sales call for $26 per ton, while sales for immediate delivery are made at $27. It is generally predicted that the worlds s record will be smashed beyond recogni- ton next year. Necessarily the demand for steel will cause an increased demand for pig iron. Therefore we feel that the future of this district Is now as bright as ever in it's history, and that next year will bring much to add to it."

 FROM SHEFFIELD
RUMoR SAYS THAT ROAD WILL MEET EXTENSION FROM SELMA. WOULD TRAVERSE A RICH MIN ERAL TERRITORY.

Sheffield, December H.-(Special. l-Per- sistent rumors have teen circulated here during the past few days that the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad would ex- tend their line from here on south to meet the extension they ere building north fl om Selma While this rumor cannot be verified, the officials of that system being reticent on the subject, it is receiving general belief here.
 There are large tracts of coal ard iron ore lands south of here that are at pres ent inaccessible to Gny railroad which would be traversed by this extension and having connections on beth sides, no other railroad Is in go favorable a po- sition to fill in this gap asiis the Louis vile and Nasa' He. This would give that system another main line entirely through Alabama, and open up some of the rich est timber and mineral properties in this distriCI.

Stevenson, Ala, June 6, 1901. Dear Sir: I have been great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling mo to have several painful and dangerous operations. I have also taken many different remedies; l taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers sate cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- paring for the third, I saw your Texas Wonder advertised, and purchased bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief, and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and was suffering almost death No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder and I call 1t a world 6 wonder, and I hope all who suffers will give a trial
 Wishing you success, am yours truly.

 IS NULL AND VOID
SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS THE LOWER COURT IN NOT ALLOW ING THE REV. MoUEEN TO SHARE IN ESTATE.

Montgomery, December H.-(SpeciaL )- The Alabama Supreme Court today af- firmed a decision of the lower court in rejecting an alleged will of Miss Julia Wilson of Montgomery, by which Hoper- ty valued at $1o,O00 is beoueathed 10 the Rev.

 The decision of the court is interSsting- It is held that the Rev. MT. Mcqueen occupied confidential relations with Miss Wilson has her spiritual adviser. anf that the decision of the lower court of undue influence was sust aimed.
 The court says the rule of the lhw is well settled that in transactions between those living where a party stands in con- fidential relation to another. such as that of priest and penitent if the dominant party receives the benefit during the ex- istence of such relations, the party re- posing the confidence. may obtain relief from the burdens and duties imposed by showing such confidential relations
