IN A ROSE GARDEN.
By John Bennett.

By John Bennett. A hundred years from now, dear heart.
 We shall not care at all, It will not matter then a whit
 The honey or the gall. The summer days that we have known Will then forgotten be and flown, The garden will be overgrown
 Where now the roses fall. A hundred years from now. dear heart
 We shall not dread the pain,
 VIII not have left a stain. The song we sing together, dear, sS The threat'ning shadows that we fear. Will mean no more than means . tear. D
 Amidst summers rain. A hundred years from now. dear heart
 The grief will be OCT, ls sr {S} The sea of care will surge in vain
 Upon a careless shore. The glasses we turn down today Here, at the parting of the way We shall be wineless then as they, cs fg
 And shall not mind 1t more. A hundred years from now, dear heart. -
 We'll neither know nor care What comes of all Hfes bitterness
 Or followed loves despair. So, fill the glasses up abafn 1s sas And kiss me through the rose leaf sralDs Wen build one castle more in Spain,
 And dream one more dream thsz<s ss.7 q

Scranton. Pa., April T.-The two hun dred Delaware, Lackawanna and Vest ern yardmen who went on strike Tuesday noon because two of their number were discharged, returned to work at 2:a0 o'clock this afternoon after a six hour session with the national head of the smitchmen's union, Frank T.

Bid Plant in Small Town.

''Yery few people are aware that the largest boiler-making plant in the south and one of the best in this country is at the rather obscure town of Newman. Ga, yet it is SOL said a travelling man.
 This boiler plant was founded in 1852, and it has grown so great that it now em- ploys about 800 skilled men. The sons of the founder conduct it. On a capital of s225, ,000, the plant cleared last year a net profit of $7S,000, and has surplus of $15O,- GOO. The trade of the establishment ex- .tends as far away as Russia, it's boilers being shipped to the dominions of the Tsar, as is the case with Alabama-made cotton gins"

Cost the City $1,ooo, ,ooo?

To-day, for the first time, comprehend something of what you mean by the tyranny of the Dust Devil in Birming- ham," said William A. Davis of Anniston.
 "In my experience of cities, which is considerable, south and north, I never saw as much dust in any streets as that which have encountered in Birmingham during the past four hours. The immen- sity of this Birmingham dust must be inconceivabe to any one who has not suffered by It. For long time I have read the Age -Heralds persistent com plaints and protests against the Dust Devil, but I never before realized its force. and it seems to me today that you have barely told half the truth concern ing the disgraceful condition of your streets
 As Mir Davis spoke, he and his friend were covered and fairly overwhelmed by a dense cloud of dust that swept down First avenue. It was monstrous, and bore upon it's black pillows hundreds of scraps of the flthiest paper of the filthiest streets in the world.
 There were a great many eastern and western visitors in Birmingham yesterday all of them apparently men of money on the lookout for profitable investments. The dust of the day as it befouled these visitors may have cost Birmingham mill lion dollars
 After 3 o'clock rain began to fall light ly but it failed for an hour to appre- ciably effect the rampant and raging Dust Devil. Fjt

Germany's Ambition

Germany can never rule the seas or found great colonial system, or make the goods of the world; and yet she aspires to do all three. There are obstacles in the way in all three cases England is an island country. and Englishmen are by tradition, birth and education seadogs. Comparatively few Germans know anything about the sea her coast line being narrow, and often ice-clogged. In her cold seas there is not much comfort. The great major. ity of Germans are as ignorant in sea. going matters as are their neighbors in Austria. England will long control the seas, and when the sceptre passes from her hands It will be transferred to populous America. When that event occurs America will have BOG. .OOO. .000 of people. and Germany one-third of that number.
 Germany comes into the field too late to acquire great and valuable colonial system. All the surface of the globe is now occupied or pre- empted. She chafes under the Mon roe doctrine, and Sue finds Africa and Asia occupied, and so are the isles of the sea. Her present colonies ere vaIueless. and not one of them VII support . white population. She has not secured . single desirable colony, and no ono can see where she car ob-

MR. TAYLOR'S NEW BOOK
 ON INTERNATIONAL LAW
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
 As we are not regarded as bookmak- ing people. 1t is something for the south to be able to say that Hannis Taylor is the only American who has ever attempt ed to write the history of the English Constitution, the foundatio of our sys- tenn of government. His work Is the only American work upon the entire subject, good, bad or indifferent. When the manu- script was first sent to Boston the then unknown Mobile lawyer was told very frankly that, while 1t would be examined, no such book was expected from this part of the country. Nevertheless it was pro- duced in Alabama, and before 1t appeared MT. John Fiske had said that 1t was "eyi- dently a masterpiece judgment promptly confirmed at home and abroad The permanent success of the book was assured when 1t made good it's claim In the great universities in the British isles. It has received the highest tributes from the leaders at Oxford and Edinburgh, where 1t is in use, and in June, 1899. 1t was formally adopted as a textbook by the University of Dublin and made a part of the curriculum. In this country the success of the book was handsomely recognized by President Cleveland, who gave to its author the mission to Spain as 1t had been given before to Irving and Lowell In some parts of the south, at least. there seems to be a clear under standing of the position MT Taylor has made for himself as an expounder of the science of government and law. A few months ago the Christian Advocate of Nashville, of which. Dr. floss Is editor, said:
 If it be an achievement worthy of any mans ambition to have written a single great book, then MT. Taylor ought cer- tainly to congratulate himself; for the work before us both in its scope and aim and in It's execution, Is fairly entitled to say that the work as a whole is entirely 1t to be compared with such productions as De Tocquevilles American Democ- racy," Bryce's American Common wealth." Burgess Political Science and Constitutional Law and Francis Lie- ber's Civil Liberty and Self-Govern- ment." That 1t should have been under taken and completed by a young Southern lawyer far removed from literary cen- ters and great libraries, Is nothing less than wonderful.
 The signal success of the authors first undertaking imparts special interest to the announcement just made by Messrs. Callaghan & Co.,, the lawbook publishers of Chicago, of MT Taylor's forthcoming work on International Public Law. While the North has made notable contributions to that important subject in the works of Kent, Story, Wheaton, Halleck, Woolsey, Wharton and Field, the South has here tofore contributed nothing. In their eight page circular the publishers say that the new book Is 'the most comprehensive and exhaustive treatise upon the subject of International Public Law which has ap- peared in this country since Dana 8 Wheaton, embracing as it does, in a com- pact and attractive form, the results of .A A a-A 4

New Constitution Needed.
rom the Huntsville Tribune.

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 One week from today Is election day the day upon which Alabama says whether or not she will have a constitu- tional convention. It is to be hoped that a small vote will not indicate an apathy upon the part of the people Every voter in Alabama should indicate a preference for a constitutional convention. Alabama needs it; the present one clogs the wheels of progress, and every moments delay in removing this embargo is expensive to the State.

The little pools of water formed in the streets by the showers of yesterday after noon were covered with the yellow pollen of the fresh-fowering trees which must have been brought long distances.

In places in the downtown streets where the flowery sub- stance seemed thickest there were no trees, and no towering trees that were not distant in the direction the wind came from.

 We are sorry to report the death last week of an old and faithful servant of ante bellum days, Aunt Margaret Minor who was owned by Elder L. W. Allen, the we'll known Baptist preacher of this county, but has been living with MT. o. W. Southworth several years. To prove she was a regular old time dar- key It was her request some time ago that she be buried with and by white folks which was carried out by Mir. Southworth. She was faithfully cared for during her last illness by MrE South worth, and after death her body was neat ly prepared for burial, after which she was laid in a nice casket and taken to the grave yard and buried by the side of the family burying ground, after funeral ser- vices by Captain Allensworth. Only three colored men attended the burial She was about 90 years old, we think
