Hide0us Front Fences.

The ragged, jagged front fence, of q thousand patterns, none of them good, fingers "in our midst" and will not down. It is made more conspicuous
 and if possible more hideous by stand ing out in some cases defiantly alone. Its inherent ugliness and out-of-placed- ness, so to speak, then become appar- ent.
 The front fences will not be pulled down until their owners can be induced to travel far enough to see town that has no front fences in it's residence streets. A trip to Peachtree street or other streets in Atlanta would suffice. It is want of travel, of knowledge, of aesthetic training, that is the matter. The eyes of the property owners in this town have not been trained, and an object lesson is needed. All progress i've and improving towns long ago pulled down street fences, and quickly made kindling wood of them, and trip to one such town may have to be or ganized before much can be accom- plished here.
 This town is located in a beautiful valley. The enclosing hills are clothed with noble trees, and from those hills flow crystal streams of water. The val ley itself is ample. Nature has done much to make the location of the city beautiful, and if the rigamajig front fence can be put out of sight beauty will return to it's residence streets. Nothing can be done while they re- main. The front fence is pivotal. It's
 presence is ugliness, it's absence beauty. Which shall it be?

It was a scene of marvellous human n- terest, and so absorbed was I In its real national character that the carriage of the Princess, a plain black doub1e-seated vehicle, with the crimsoned diverted coacn- men of the crown, was within fifty feet of me to the right front before I realized that I was enjoying the privilege, wish ed for all my life, of seeing the nobIy beautiful Princess of Wales And so there she was, her three beautiful young daughters with her, happy school girls each with her hair hanging loose down her back after the tasteful and graceful custom of all girls in the British island Every man in the crowd stood with his hat in hand smiling and lowing, and every woman stood lowing and smiling, and the Princess was lowing and smiling, almost laughing, all the time, her little daughters following her graceful example prettiy. The women looked adoringly at the occupants of the royal carriage, and every man felt in sense that his future Queen had bowed especially to him, so wonderfully skillful and gracious is that wonderful woman.
 All in all, that scene of which the pres ent Queen of England was the radiant cen- tral figure, in Hyde Park fifteen years ago. was the most brilliant. beautiful and in- spiriting I have ever seen in all my wide wanderings. And often as I think of it cannot recall any other woman of all my observation who was as beautiful as her present most gracious Majesty Alexandra Queen of England.

Another Grade Crossing Horror.

The Board of Aldermen certainly do not need any more object lessons in the matter of grade crossings. If the acci- dent in First avenue, and tne narrow escape from a slaughter pen in Ninth avenue were not enough to illustrate the dangers of unguarded, ungated grade crossings then the accident in Avenue E at Twentieth street should suffice. All were accidents that gates or watchmen would have prevented. Iu one case freight car was pushed with out warning into a street car; in the next flying switch nearly caught a crowded trolley, and in the third case an engine pushed at good speed flat cars against the front end of South Highland car, showing it out of the way and passing seventy-five feet beyond it. These accidents in quick success ion show how great the peril to life and limb is in this city of tracks and troll leys. One-half of the people are in this manner exposed daily to accidents of the most serious nature. Freight cars are hustled about in these active times without much regard to the rights of foot travellers or trolleys or vehicles.
 If the trolley car in Avenue D had been six feet further advanced the very horror of the calamity would have aroused the indignation of the entire city; and there is no reason why action on the part of the Council should be less positive because the occupants of the car escaped by a hairs breadth, Let it be understood first and last that the responsibility rests upon the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. They have ample power in the premises. They can render life secure even on grade crossings, and the people expect them to do it. The question is up to them.

government factor at St. Stephens was requested to supply the government at that point with provisions for several hum dred Choctaws expected to come to the talk. Gaines advanced the money, deliv- cred the provisions and the Indians assem- bled The object was to effect an exchange of their lands in Alabama for full equiv- alept in what is now Indian Territory The government has never to this day paid Gaines or his heirs for his outlay at Rab- bit Creek.
 There was, however, an understanding reached, at one or another time as to the land exchange Some of the Choctaw chiefs invited Gaines to go to the new land to direct them in the selection of 1t. lie went. He also went with the first train of wagons, trayersing the distance from Alabama to Indian Territory, transporting Choctaw squaws and papooses: The chiefs insisted on electing Gaines chief of the tribe. He declined nor would he ever ap- pear again as agent of the government in the transfer of the red immigrants He gave as his reason that the government had disgracefully failed to perform it's part of the contract with the Choctaws in that the supply of wagons and provisions promised to transport them was fraudu- lently short of the stipulations of the treaty, thus imposing upon the squaws and papooses the greatest suffering route

We Were "The Land Grabbers."

"Of course Uncle Sam must body-up In- dian Territory in his holdings; Indians there Indians nowhere But the treaty is on record in the archives of the marble halls at Washington which expressly stipu- lates that the exchange of land here for land there shall carry all rights in the iginal owners of this land over to the treaty beneficiary of that land. In a word, the jChoctaws surrendered their original and undisputed title to the southwest corner of Alabama in treaty equivalent of land in Indian Territory. That land is now to be taken from them sequel to protracted and insidious scheming of politicians at Washington.
 "Yet the canting self-satisfaction of 8 few of our countrymen-only a few, be it said to Americas honor and its virtue of self-respect-seeks to apply all manner of harsh eqithets against our mother country in all parts of the world, in South Africa especially, for 'outraging' and suppress ing the natives and robbing them of their lands! These noisy few try in their ignor- ance to accomplish the outrage upon their own country of leading other peoples to the conclusion that g. true 'Ermurikin' al- ways uses coarse language and seeks to insult everybody in sight. That Is not true! The true American is not iil-manner- ed. coarse boastful vulgar.
 But our. present Indian troubles will bring about a great dead of new study of old history, and through the row with the Choctaws and the tale of the splendid old Choctaw kingdom in Southwest Alabama there will be excellent opportunity, to see ourselves as used to be-ths worst of all aand- grahbers!'

were Protestants and members of the

chapel down by the navy yard and
bought at junk shop an old bell which
had been discarded by one of the Pres

Having thus got rid Of crack the
