also to be used for shipment of mer-
ehandise bv store keepers. The com
pany at Marion propose to make
store collections and deliveries with
its own teams without added cost,
1t proposes To do for freight trans
portation what electric lines have
done for passenger transportation.
There is no second handling of the
load until it reaches the place of des-
tination. The system, so the invent
ors claim, opens endless acres of rich
outlying lands to the zeal and energy
of the market gardner, the creamery
supply man and the fruit grower.
Farmers will be able to have coal,
lipe. brick, etc. delivered to them
at a cost not heretofore dreamed OF
by teaming or otherwise.

Company III tie prop6sed bui!ding Of

asked further Instructions and plat
from which to Indicate the placing of
the stakes. 1t seems that in the
original agreement the placing of the
stakes was Indicated
Later on the company made some
changes in their plans, and desired
the stakes set according to these
plans. The engineer did not feel
war anted in making these changes
without the sanction of council and
asked that this plat be regularly filed
and approved by council who dele
gated this authority to the regular
railroad committee. At the meet
ing yesterday an agreement was
reached and the stakes driven; and
the plat as approved by the COM
mittee was filed in the engineer s
office to be approved by council at
next session. The preliminary work
for the new station may now be said
to have been done, and actual work
may be expected at any time
At the meeting yesterday a full
agreement was reached, ard the mat
ter of these approaches was left in
the hands of Messrs. Weber and
Worthinstop. engineers for the CON-
pany and the city.

NO DEATH PENALTY IN KANSAS.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The action of the Kansas Sate Senate in defeating a proposed bill for capital punishment leaves this matter in the same unsatisfactory condition as before Under the existing law persons convicted of murder, where the jury makes death the punishment are sent to the peniten- tiary, to await there the Governors o.- now a dozen or more convicts of this kind who could be hanged if Governor Stanley were to order it. but he Is not likely to do so, nor Is any other Govern or who may follow him. Governors are not eager to take the sole responsibility for hanging a man. and the result Is that conviction for murder in Kansas means lifo Imprisonment. The recent lynching episode at Leavenworth was believed to be partly due to the absence of the death penalty in the State, and the bill now de- feated was introduced for the purpose of removing this excuse for mob law The refusal of the Legislature to provide practical and legal method for adninis- tering the death penalty amounts to an indorsement of present conditions. As natural result no one should be sur prised if the Leavenworth horror is re- peated from time to time in various parts of Kansas.

$15,ooo FOR JEAN DE REszKE.

From the New York Evening Journal.
 It will cost you just $500 minute to entertain Jean de Reszke, and your claims to social distinction and your list of guests must also meet his approval.
 Society Is discussing the topic with much interest. M. de Reszke did not sing at the Gould dinner party on Tuesday night, although he had been announced Society wonders if it was because MT. Gould would not pay the price,
 When MT. Gould approached the distin guished tenor, 1t is said, and asked what it would cost the reply was:
 "Oh, $1O,000 will me sufficient"
 "Of course, you have arranged it with Mir. Grau," remarked de Reszke. "I-am under contract with him and cannot sing for anyone without his permission"
 Mir. Gould had not thought of that, so he hurried off to see the impresario MT. Grau was willing that his star should en- certain MT. Gould's friends for few mo- ments, but what would the concession be worth to MT. Grau?
 "Oh. s5O00 will cover it." the producer of operas is said to have declared Mir Gould. it is said had to be helped to his carriage.

Rivers and Harbors Bill.

It is very plain that some of the Re- publicans in Washington desire to de- feat the rivers and harbors bill. hoping in that way to avert public indignation over their extravagant expenditures in many directions. Mark Hanna's subsidy coterie desire the defeat of the rivers and harbors bill in the way of revenge, and MT. Hanna's denuncia- tion of the bill in the Senate on Friday was not therefore surprising. His rage over the defeat of the subsidy bill is unbounded, and ne may be trusted to work all the mischief he can.
 The record of this Congress is not an enyiable one. Through amend ments of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty it prevented the passage of a Nicaragua canal bill, thus keeping in the treasury about $100,000000, while at the same time piling up expenditures that will aggregate $S00,vV0.000. It stood ready to pass the subsidy steal which calls for $1S0.oOo,0Oo more, and this was prevented by the freedom of de- bate in the Senate only.
 For extravaganza and general cuss- edness this Congress has never been beaten. Jobs have gone through al- most without number, and the bill that makes for the general development of the country, namely, the Nicaragua bill, stands neglected. The improve ment of the rivers and harbors is en- dangere4 in order that big army and big jobs generally may be foisted upon the country.
 The people will in the end see what is the matter, and then there will be a clearing out of trust promoters and jobsters. The evil will run its course in the second term of this Hanna-Mc- Kinley administration.

Death Sentences In China.

The hitch in negotiations for a set clement of the Chinese trouble and for the opening of the country to trade seems to relate more to sentences of oeath passed upon prominent Chinese offenders by the foreign envoys than to anything else. The emperor of China, and presumably the empress dowager, have consented to carry out the sentences so far as power in them Hes, and they have called upon the offenders, about dozen in number, to select their favorite method of suicide, and try it on themselves respectively Several have already done so.
 But then there fs'the commander of the imperial army, Gen. Tung Fu Hsiang. who is "worshpped" by his soldiers, who is a Mohammedan, and who has no use for Chinese executions of the suicide sort. He may say old age is his method of suicide, and the

A Lenten Greeting.

Upon the eve of the Lenten time, the season of penance for all tho penitent, these tenderly musical and moving lines from the good-hearted and faithful Mike Grammar, kindly and generously remem- bered by a multitude of Alabamians come with especial force and fitness, and they will awake sweet echo In many a faithful heart that cherishes the sweet hour of prayer" said one who holds this singer in affectionate recollection.
 " Mike Grammar has the soul of the poet and Is skilled In the poets measures of melody, like so many of the men of his happy-hearted and impulsive race which has given to the world such a vast store of real music, together with the noblest examples of faith tried as by fire. These Irish have been kept in pow erty because of their faith, and that faith has led them through centuries of con- ditions very like martyrdom; but still they have sung and laughed and rejoiced. and have made the world all the hap pier.
 MT Brannan has written many beau tiful sentiments but nothing quite equal I gan, which he sends as something of a penitent's faithful greeting to his old Alabama friends. It is pleasing to know that this piece is copyrighted and is to be set to music. MT. Grammar had one of his songs set to music about four years ago, and it had wide circulation amongst that overwhelming moral ele- ment of the population which is unable to appreciate the ragtime' stuff of most of the so-called coon songs of the music halls and the Bowery.
 MT Grammar is engaged in the inter- nal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury at Washington, and spends his odd hours in literary labors, ever delightful occu- patton for him."
 "The Voice in The Organ" Is sent by MT. Brannan for special publication in the Age-Herald.
