AS the result, therefore, it may be
said with truth that there is no place
in the civilized world where the es-
capped law breaker can hide his head
To-day his government could follow
him to any pot where he might go,
for even those places where there is
no definite treaty are always willing to
give up the criminal who has taken ref
uge in that land. Among all civilized
powers the principle Of ~eXtradition is
found and demands for the surrender
of a fugitive by one government to an
other are usually complied with on the
ground of international comfy.
OF course it must De remembered that
there are certain ofenses in the mon
arcbieal states OF Europe that could
not be regarded as crimes in this u
trv. and in no possible way can the
present extradition treaty be 50 twist
ed as to permit OF the surrender OF for
eign fugitives Who have Z refuge
in the United States because OF such
offexlses.

NEGROES DISMISSED.
Were Charged With Robbing Ed Dish
 erman.

H. J. Reed, Hunter Worthington, Aaron Fryer and Eugene Williams were given a preliminary trial yesterday before Judge I. H. Benners on the charge of highway robbery. The prosecutor was Ed Disher- man, he and the four defendants all be- ing negroes.
 Disherman claimed that the defendants robbed him last Saturday night on Twen- ty-second street and stole two coats, one vest and a pair of tan shoes. He claims he informed the men that the clothes did not belong to him and that he would rather they would take his money. One of them he says, exclaimed: "Yo' ain't got no money, nigger," but proceeded to search him, nevertheless and found $3.75, which they took, in addition to the clothes.
 Judge Benners heard the defendants testimony and discharged them, declaring ing the evidence insufficient to convict.

BUTCHERS NOT PLEASED.
Say They Were Not Treated Fairly
 By the Council.

In speaking of the action of the Mayor and Aldermen at the meeting Monday night, a well-known member of the Bir- mingham Market Association, otherwise known as the Butchers Association, said
 ''We are at a loss just now to know the next step to be taken. When the Mayor and Aldermen were considering the build ing of a city hall last year a committee from the Birmingham Market Association called on them in regard to the market house. They promised to have a delega- tion from the association present when the plans were submitted, and did not do so. We feel that we have not been treated exactly right by that body.
 ''The space given us in the new market house is only 54 by 67 feet. and the old quarters, including the vegetable market, were about twice that size. According to the present plans, only about seven stalls can be erected therein About the only thing that can be done is for some of the substantial butchers to go out of business altogether, and several of them have dis cussed this"

Though somewhat disfigured the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad freight de- pot is still in the ring. Business is being conducted there the same as before the fire The exact amount of loss to the freight has not yet been ascertained
 The fact that not more damage was done Is a. credit to the Birmingham fire department. There was a great deal of infiammable stun in the depot, such as barrels of crockery packed with straw, wax, oil and numerous pine crates.
 The record room. where the fire start ed. was itself full of papers and docu- ments, but these are not damaged as much as would be supposed. The backs of the record books are burnt off. but the records themselves are practically intact.

 Hon. W. M. Drennen, Mayor, Birming-
 ham, Ala
 gather that within the next few days the remaining portion of the new fire appa- ratus will probably be received in Birm- ingham, though we have not received any official notice of the fact. Our informa- tion is also that the new steamer was re- ceived sometime ago. This communica- tion Is addressed to you to ask if you think all will be ready for special agent of the association to be in Birmingham by Monday next to pass upon the appa- ratus and proceed with the work of revls- ing the insurance rates
 As MT. Tanner has done all of the previous work, the company to which he is now attached promises to let him visit Birmingham at the proper time to in- spect and pass upon the apparatus, though MT. Caldwell will continue the work of revising the rates. At present we can see no reason why, we cannot be represented in Birmingham Monday next September 2. You will understand we do not wish to take MT. Tanner from his agent to Birmingham until all is quite ready for the new apparatus to be in- speoted.
 Thanking you in advance for your ad- vices, in reply we beg to remain yours truly,
 CHARLES c. FLEMING Secretary Southeastern Tariff Associa- ton.

GERMAN IMMIGRATION.
Letter On This Subject Sent to Promi-
 nent Men of the State.

F. Lesser, chairman of the committee, has issued a circular letter to the prom lnent men of Alabama, asking them to attend a convention to be held in Birm- ingham sometime during next month to consider: Shall German Immigration to Alabama Be Encouraged" The letter fol- lows:
 "Our economists and statesmen &C., knowledge the great benefits which have resulted to the United States from the emigration which during the last fifty years has come from northern Europe. This class of people is homogeneous with the Anglo American population. The em- igrant from northern Europe Is easily assimilated; he is 1aw-abiding and in short time becomes the owner of a home.
 Alabama is destined to become the leading state of the south. Wood, coal. and iron ore-the basis of nearly every industry-are found here in lavish abun- dance. The great natural resources of our state have been but lightly developed. Her soil Is capable of producing many times moro than the present annual yield. What is needed is more white labor for our fields and forests, shops and mines.
 For some years past there has been little emigration from Germany. This was due to the great prosperity of that coun- try But Germany has reached her in> dustrial limits. and the signs are many that as a result of the business depres- sion which set in about one year ago, the surplus labor of Germany will again go abroad as at former periods. The United States will receive the greater part of the expected emigratio Shall anything be done to divert portion of 1t to Ala bama?
 ''The suggestion has been made that a meeting be called of public-spirited citi- zens of Alabama to convene at Birming ham, on, day in September, to consider what means ought to be employed to se- cure for our state a part of the expected emigration from Germany. While a geod share of the work to be done will neces- sarily have to be assigned to those who are acquainted with the German lanr euage, the committee which has taken the initiatory steps in this matter be- reve that your cooperation would ma tertally aid in securing the object sought to be promoted.
 "The purpose of this letter Is to ask you to give this project your considera- tion and to notify me as soon as conven- tent, whether you will be able to attend the coming convention at Birmingham. The date will be announced shortly"

TO KEEP FOOD CRISP.

A novel way of opening package of food is shown on the Grape-Nuts pack age, where a line indicates that a slit should be made with a knife, and the package squeezed, which makes 1t gap enough to pour out what Is needed for a meal. then the package automatically closes, preserving the contents from the moisture of the air.
 As a rule, Grape-Nuts packages are not kept on hand very long in any family, but 1t is well to knsw how to keep the contents of the package in prime condition. Grape-Nuts Food Is ready cooked, very crisp, and can be served immediately with a little good cream or milk. This feature is of great advantage to those who appreciate ease and convenience in preparing breakfast.

Poultry Notes.

Never feed laying hens on one certain
diet or any coarse grain that will pro-
duce fat.
1t costs no more to select the best and
improve the flock than 1t does to breed
without regard to system.
One advantage with ducks is that a
large number can be raised on a small
space, but more is required.
Fowls in the orchard work a twofold
benefit, the orchard and the fowls Sc
curing better growth with both.
Geese and turkeys require plenty of
room and it will not pay to keep them
unless they can have a free range.
When hens have scours good remedy
is to feed powdered chalk in their soft
feed, but the best regulative is variety
of food.
Fowls should be allowed to run out
every day that the weather will permit
during the winter. They will be
healthier.
Geese live many years and 1t is of no
advantage to sell off the old stock, MS
they are the best for breeding purposes,
as also for feathers.
If 1T is desired to have the greatest
number of pounds of meat produced
with the smallest amount Of feed select
the large breeds-Cochins, Brahmas or
Dorkings.

Effects Of Lime ON Soils.

There are certain soils in which lime
is naturally deficient, though the use
of ground bone. acid phosphate and
wood ashes for the sake of the phos-
phoric acid or potash in them helps to
increase the lime often to the full
amount Of Its needs. So also does the
use Of land plaster, gypsum or sulphate
of lime, which are all the same thing,
though sold under all three names.
While lime will accumulate In dry
soil 1t teaches out of damp soil or in
damp climate, which helps to explain
why 1t should and does prove beneficial
to apply dry slaked lime to soils where
the lime rocks abounds. Whatever Of the
lime has become free may have leach
ed away. Good results may be expect
ed from its use where the soil is nat
urally deficient in 1t, or where 1t has
become acid or sour, n frequent result
Of the presence of stagnant water in
undrained land, where other plant food
elements are in the soil, but largely I'M
available, from lack of friability and
porousness. This may be in stiff, heavy
soils, and the use Of lime will help to
tighten them up. Lime also holds mois-
ture and prevents teaching in loose
soils, and helps to destroy insects and
fungous diseases.
