quired of them by their paths. This, how ever, seems to have been the case in the Cudahy trial. They regarded it as a fight between wealth and poverty. and do not seem to have considered either the ex- tremely criminal character of the offense nor the boys deprivation of liberty, and the possibility of his being murdered had not his father paid down the ransom
 The offense itself has already led to numerous cases of Kidnapping in different parts of the country, and this outrageous acquittal of kidnaper will, doubtless, lead to more.

ouckenberger, Parker and Others.

The Birmingham May Music Festival is passed into history as the greatest and most successful event of its character that has ever transpired in the South
 Prof. Gucl<enberger, the acknowledged head of the musical world of the Gulf States, receives the expression of Bir- mingham's most profound gratitude. The presence of Theodore Thomas alone would lend distinction to any city. Prof. Guck- enberger, who Is of Birmingham and for Birmingham. adds to that distinction. He is the master musician of the whole South, this same Prof. Guckenberger
 And it is pleasing to all of us home folk here in the valley, those of us who do not wait upon ceremony, that John Lake Parker was so immediately and so great ly concerned in the Festival. The tickets were on sale in MT. Parker's drug store in First avenue, and he made their sale his own business; he did, in the most worthy and practical manner, associate himself in that which was the most high ly cultured and moral public influence that has ever blessed Birningham-Bir minghams May Music Festival of 1901, under the direction of Prof. GuclSen- berger. first of all Southern musicians!

Center of Population.

N~%~
 tion has moved westward about four teen miles and southward about three miles. This is not a large movement in a ten-year period, and it goes to in- dicate that the adjustment of popula- tion as to locality will proceed at slower pace. The present center Of population is about six miles east of Columbus, small city in southern h. diana. The movement of population westward has been checked by the factory cities and the great growth of towns in the older northeastern States. The east and middle west promise to hold their own hereafter against the far west
 The denection southward was not great, but that 1t was something is
 interesting and comforting. The great tide will not sweep into and through the Southern States. chiefly because the land is cheaper and the climate more genial. But for color prejudice this movement would have been in full operation long before this. Color prejudice will be answered by large colony movements, and these will in turn attract the individual immigrant.
 The northward movement of the cen ter of population has at any rate been checked after covering 9h degrees since 1880, and now a slow but prob ably accelerating tide will carry 1t back perhaps to the point reached in 1880 by the development of Alabama, and the annexation of Florida.
 The center of area is fin Kansas, and in the several decades the center of population has been steadily seek ing it as follows: Tn 1790-1800. forty one miles; in 1SO0-1S1O, thirty-six miles; 1S10-1S20, fifty miles; 1s20-1830, thlrty-nine miles; fS30-1S40, fifty-tive miles; 1S40-1S5O, f1fty-fve miles; 1S50- 1860, eighty-one mites; 1s60-1S7O, forty two miles: 1s70-1sSO, fifty-eight miles; 1880, 1890. forty-eight miles; 1S90-1900, fourteen miles. This is a total west ward movement ot 519 miles since 179O.
 It should be explained that the me- dian point is the point of intersection of the line dividing the population equally north and south with the line dividing it equally east and west. Tn short, it is the central point of the population. It differs from the center of population in the fact that distance from the center is not considered It's movements from census to census bear no relation to the movements of the population. since only movements by which bodies of population are transferred across it's parallel or it's meridian have any influence upon it's position. To illustrate this. million persons may move from Minnesota to Washington State. without affecting it's position. while the movement of a hundred persons from Michigan to Wisconsin might affect it appreciably. in 1900 the meridian of S4 deg 51' 20" equally divided ,he population of the United States east and west, and the parallel of 40 deg. 22" equally divided it north and south. The rnedian point, therefore is located at Spartanberg, Ind.

Heavy Rains win Canse Big River

Heavy Rains Will Cause Big River.
The heavy rains, of the past two days
have been very general over the entire

There will be solemn vespers at 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon and sermon
and benediction at eve O'Clock in the

be a sermon and benediction at 1880

The Blessed Mary Magdalen, whose
feast day is to be thus celebrated, was
born in 1857 in the palace of her father,
Count Leopard Martinengo de Borgo,
at BreScia, in Italy. Her father died
soon after and she was placed in the
care of an Ursuline nun. AT the age of
ten she was sent to an Ursuline con
vent, where two of her aunts resided.
She remained there for two years and
was distinguished for her piety and
acts of modification. At the age of
thirteen she took a vow of perpetual
chastity. Her aunts, looking to the
prestige Of her noble house, attempted
to persuade her that she had no voca-
tion to the religious life, and oon after
an order came for her return to the
world. She pleaded with her father
and brothers to be permitted to become
a Capuchin nun, but they objected to
an order so severe in its poverty and
penance.
On September Sth, 1705, she entered
the novitiate of the Capuchin nuns, in
the convent of st. Mary at Brescia,
receiving the name OF Mary Magdalen.
1t is said that she did not find the life
strict enough. A year later she made
her solemn VOWS. It is recorded OF
her that her life was one of severest
penance. For a year her food con-
sisted of roasted bread and water. She
mixed NORWOOD and other bitter
herbs with her food. She used thorns
to torture her flesh, and her garments
were usually wet with blood. She ex-
plains this in her memoirs-"When l
cast my eyes upon Jesus on the cross,
all this suffering that I bear seems to
me the sweetest Joy" 1t is said that
upon one occasion when ready to re-
ceive the Holy Communion, the sacred
species few from the hands of
the priest and rested on her tongue.
There are two miracles related in the
decree of Qualification, the i%nstantan-
eous cure of a woman in the last stages
of consumption, and the miraculous
cure of a man whose left eye was
sightless.
The nun lived for thirty years in the
order and died in 1877.
