the Hawaii Yacht Club will be sit
uated at Puuloa, on land belonging to
nitely selected for the clubs head
quarters, one of the buildings of the
salt works may be utilized and the
necessary alterations made.
The place proposed is very popular
among the local yachtsmen. 1t is shell
tered, and there are excellent facilities
for mooring. 1t is also but a short
mornings run from Honolulu and pos
sesses swimming. fishing and anchor
age advantages.
The Hawaii Yacht Clubs headquar-
ters will probably be opened, if ready,
on New Years eve, with a masquer-
ade ball. Preparations for the event
are already being made. The idea IS
to transport the guests to Pearl Har-
Dor by steamer. Those going via Wal
pahu will be met by busses and con-
veyed to the boathouse.
The boathouse will be erected with
an eye to social features A contem-
plated floor space of 5000 square feet
will give dancers plenty of room.

German Immigration to Alabama.

It is proposed to hold a convention next month in this town for the pur- pose of taking steps towards inducing more Germans to come to this State. The condition of Germany is such that increased emigration from that coun- try is more than probable, and it is also more than probable that a ma jority of emigrating Germans will come to this country.
 We need them in this State. They are the people we do need, as Chair man Lesser states in recent circular. We are Germans ourselves in origin. all of us who are Anglo-Saxons. The Germans that we have are a source of strength, and if more could be induced to come they would build not only new Cullmans, but they would induce Alabama soil to yield much that it does not yield now. They might make

Alabama grow her own sugar. for they are familiar wi.n the sugar beet.
 We need German tnoroughness in all parts of the State and in all branches of our work. No one is as thorough as a German. Theysdo well whatever they undertake. Alabama wants them, and The Age-Herald hopes the September convention will take steps that will attract more Ger mans this way. Every German that we have should try to attract thither another one of his people, and then the two should attract two more, and so on, until we have enough white people to develop to the utmost our forests, shops and mines. And we would not mind if in the number a Krupp came along, and would set up gun factory that would supply the world with shooting machines.

MURDERED BY BoERs.
Kitchener Has Sworn Statement That
 Two Privates Were Shot Down,

London, August 2S.-A dispatch from Lord Kitchener from Pretoria, August 25, says:
 Sworn evidence has been brought to my notice by General Elliott that on June 6, Lieutenant Mair of the New South Wales Artillery, and Privates Harvey and Blunt, were shot down after sur rendering at Graspen, near Reitz. have forwarded to Steyn and Botha copies Of these statements"
 The war office has teiegraphed Lord Kitchener as follows:
 We understand that you have not yet received satisfactory assurance respect ing the murder of our wounded at vlatk- fontein. Tn view of the occurrences re- ferred to in your telegram of August 3. We are of the opinion that you would notify by proclamation that the members of any commando where such an outrage is committed may be captured, and after trial proved to have been present on such occasion, will be held guilty whether they actually comitted the deed or not; that the leader of the commando will be sen- tenced to death, and that the other mem- bers will be punished with death or less, according to the decree of complicity."

ficers of our citizen soldiery is not like ly to be satisfactory.
 Probably taking suggestion from Gov ernor Candler, the somewhat young Gov ernor Yates of Illinois recently appointed a young woman who was Mrs. Yates guest. to be colonel of militia, and this official action. coming swiftly upon the Georgia appointment. has provoked a great deal of adverse criticism.
 The trouble wdth these pretty com pliments Is that they tend to make toy of the National Guard. which Is intend- ed to be a very serious institution. The Army and Navy Journal has taken up the subject seriously. It bases its chief proteest upon the importance of public respect for the national guardsmen, if they are to be effective dn restoring order when domestic trouble gets beyond the control of the police. From the point of view of the regular army officer there Is vast room for improvement in discipline in the militia organizations In the south and west. Nothing should be done to les sen that dignity and respect for which they need to strive"

In Parallel Columns.

The best document that could be nrepared in the interest of the instru- ment prepared by the convention would be one consisting of the New and the Old in parallel columns, sec ton by section, article by article.
 An edition of 50O,OO0 copies of this document would be none too big, for there are 413,S62 males in this State of voting age. There are 232, 2,294 white males in the State of voting age. But such an edition should not be confined to the whites. All should see the diff ferences between the New and the Old.
 Let the document go out without comment or notes or other work of the esteemed and learned annotator and fixer except of course orderly ar rangement. Let the deadly parallel be trusted to convince every fairminded man.
 The truth is, there is too much dis trust of the New. No one loves the Old, which was built in the interest of obstruction and old-fogyism. No one will say the New Is ideal. But every fair-minded man who compares the two will say that the New is bet ter than the Old. Let us then get ready to give every voter an oppor- tunity to compare in a close and criti- cal manner the two instruments-the present constltulon and the one, let us hope, that is to supplant it.

LEAVE IT TO THE PEOPLE.
n the Huntsville Mercury.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The Mercury is unalterably opposed to making the ratification of the new consti- tution party issue. There appears to be no good reason for such action since there is no opposition of consequence, either among the Democrats or the Re- publicans.
 The Mercury has always advocated tho principle of majority rule and if there was an organized opposition to the con> stitution inside the Democratic party 1t might be well enough to call the Demo- cratic delegates together and allow them to speak for the people, but in the ab- sence of such opposition the new organic law may well go to the people without any further demand for Democratic sup port than is superiority over the old con- stitution.
 For the Democratic executive commit tee to declare that any man who de- clines to vote for the ratification of the constitution is not Democrat would create antagonisms which do not now ex- ist. A great many men may be easily led hut will not be driven an inch. Such action of the committee will probably not be asked, but state convention for the same purpose would have the same effect.
 Those who fear the constitution will be defeated at the polls have reckoned without their host. vast majority O. the voters of Alabama believe 1t so su- perior to the present constitution that they will support 1t without a word of criticism or complaint

Not L ookinq at All.

The Montgomery Advertiser knows about as much about public schools and public school systems as the devil does about holy water, and its interest It quotes with great relish an article denouncing public schools and laudihg private schools, thus exposing it's real position on the school question in gen. eral. At heart it is antediluvian. It would oppose all public schools If its courage were equal to it's desires; it did oppose the 3-mill tax and com pulsory county tax, and no power on earth couid induce it to favor real To- cal taxation for school purposes. It is a hidden foe to public schools, deal ing them blow whenever 1t can, and never supporting any measure for their benefit except of course its fairy bond scheme. When the fairies se- cure passes perhaps it's bond scheme
 
 will become expedient.
 Its attempt to show that The Age Heralds position as to local school taxation and State school taxation is unconstitutional is simply due to it's lack of gumption. The proposed State tax is generosity itself, but $1.S5 a year, or whereabouts will not educate a child as he should be educated. The Advertisers pet private schools charge much more than that a month. The Age-Herald desires in addition the right of local taxation, both because in many places additional money is needed, and because additional local interest is needed in all places. We state this, not for the Advertisers benefit, for it is beyond conversion on the school question, but to the end that others may not be misled by the Ad- vertiser's claptrap.
 What the State sadly needs is gen. uine local taxation and better county superintendents. She does not need general abuse of her public school system with no recommendations for improvement. Abuse with no reform attacnment is the esteemed Adver- tiser's plan, and in this it Is wholly consistent. Consistency is it's strong card, and it has been consistent in it's school policy from the Palmer-B Buckner or assistant Republican day down to the present time. It wants no public schools. It simply wants to pander to an aucient prejudice against them. It is very ancient itself.

France and Turkey.

The Sultan of Turkey agreed to con- vey to certain French citizens the quays of Constantinople, and he also owes about 12,00O 900 francs to certain other French citizens. He agreed to convey the quays and to pay the bills, but in the end he refused to do the latter, and M Constans, the French minister at Constantinople, has ended diplomatic relations between his coun- try and Turkey.
 This does not, however. mean war It is simply a measure intended to hurry the Sultan into keeping his promises. He Is not in the habit Of considering promises as things to be carried out. He considers them prop ositions to be evaded by further prom ises. Promises are his stock in trade, and he keeps a good assortment of them on hand, ready for any comer Any applicant can have all the prom ises he may desire, out France pro poses to have fulfillment or two be- side.
 But France Is a friend, if not an ally. of Russia, and she will do noth- ing that Russia does not desire, espe- cially in Turkey. Russia is just now busy in Manchuria, and is beside full of schemes of internal improvement. France is also peaceful. She will en- deavor to gain her desires in Turkey, but the measures she will take will be pressure and possibilities without war. It. may be that some naval prepara- tions will be discussed, but those preparations will be intended for ears in the Yildiz palace only.
 The times are not ripe for settle ment of the Turkish question. When it does come all the powers will take a hand, particularly Russia and Aus tria and England, and none of them are ready for changes at Constan- tinople that would be far-reaching and controlling, for Constantinople may again become the heart of the world.

THE AMERICAN QUEEN BEE.

N. Y. Letter in Chicago Record-Herald.
 Queen bees by the thousands are swarm ing through the United States mails. The American queen bee has established her supremacy over the rulers of the hives in all other climes, and enterprising dealers in apiarian supplies are shipping her to all parts of the world.
 As a suitable travelling carriage for the queen bee there has been devised a neat little wooden cage, covered with wire net ting on the top and with bit of candy at the end.
 When the bees are received by mail a piece of cardboard is removed from the end of the cage, exposing the candy. The cage Is placed on the frames of the hive, wire side down, over a space between the top bars. For five days the hive is not opened, and during that time the busy insects at work on the candy will have released their queen and introduced her to the hive.
 One New York dealer has this year sent out more than 5000 cages of American queen bees. When twenty-five or thirty cages arrive at one time In the general postoff1ce they announce their presence by loud humming, which renders the postal clerks rather uneasy.

 MT. Frank A. Vanderlip, who recently resigned the position of Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury to become Vice President of the City National Bank of New York, is noted among his associates for readiness in repartee, relates the Sat urday Evening Post. Only once during his career in the treasury department was he konwn to betray inability to frame a swift and appropriate remark when occasion called. It was on the day his resignation was to take place. A gold and silver loving cup, boxes of roses, and other tokens of esteem had found their way to his desk. and clerks followed in procession to bid him farewell. Among them was one who had written a brief tribute which was not without eloquence It slightly embarrassed MT. Vanderlip Looking up from the panegyric to the young author he aid;

 And I wish I could inspire 1t was the instant reply.
 MT. Vanderlip bowed and smiled. It was the first instance on record of his failure to overmatch the graciousness of a visitor.

 REUBEN WAS IN TOWN.
Memphis Scimitar.

From the Memphis Scimitar.
 He was from the country and stood helplessly before the naughty young lady clerk of the downtown store.
 What do you want, please?" she de- manded, icily.
 He gulped down his embarrassment for he was hopelessly young and shy and awkward, and she was most superior looking creature
 'I want twelve yards of blue predomi- nant,' he finally said.
 ''What?" demanded the startled clerk.
 'T-twelve yards of b-blue predomi- nant," he stammered again.
 I'm sure don't know what you mean,' said the clerk Then, womanly kindness and intuition getting the better of her hauteur, she said: Tell me just what it was your mother or your sister told you to bring"
 He gave sigh of relief and said:
 They wanted some wash goods for my little sisters dress. They said they were not so particular as to quality and color, just so I got blue predominant. Can't get 1t here?"

SURGERY IH NOVEL STYLE.
Painless Operation Performed With an
 Ordinary Lucifer Match.

From the New York Times
 An aged, well-dressed man, with white sided whiskers and a general appearance of substantial prosperity and eminent re- spectability. stepped into the retail store on Fifth avenue of a book publisher the other day and asked one of thte young clerks in confidential undertone:
 Have you a match?'
 Certainly, sir," replied the young man. producing a handful of lucifers from his vest pocket but you will permit me to say that 1t is against the rules to smoke in this shop
 "Oh, that's all right" replied the old gentleman amiably; T never smoke" With that he began to tumble in his pock- cts. Not finding what he wanted he asked the clerk for the loan of a knife Then he lit the match, blew 1t out ifnme- diately and began to sharpen the burned end into point
 "Ah, I see you need a toothpick." re- marked the clerk, as he watched the whittiing process.
 The old gentleman made no reply, but when he had put a nice point to the match he again spoke.
 Perhaps" he said, ''you have quiet place where could sit down for a few moments without being observed?"
 The clerk wondering what the old gen. tleman might ask for next, politely led the way to corner of the store fitted with easy chairs for the benefit of such patrons of the firm as might want to glance over book before buying 1t. The old gentleman sat down and without moments hesitation rolled up the left leg of his trousers to point above the knee. Then using the back of the knife as hammar with a few well-directed blows he drove the match into his knee. Then, readjusting his trousers. he handed the knife back to the astonished young man and said:
 'T am very much obliged to you. You see, have wooden leg, and one of tho pins holding 1t together fell out. The match will do very nicely until I can get home. If you should happen to be cver in Newark and have anything the nat ter with your leg. just step into my of flee and I shall be glad to assist you
 Then. as he handed the clerk a card bearing the name of a prominent hnancier in Newark. he smiled. bowed politely and walked out.

 Lost Mony C0m10vts of Ls1s

The trouble between the races on ac- by the negroes and lynching by the whites has resulted in some western towns in putting negroes out of business in certain kinds of work. The Louisville Courier-Journal tells of case in which the negroes were expelled bodily from an entire eounty--the county of Comanche, in Texas. Following Is the article:
 You are all southerners. aren't you?'' asked a gentleman yesterday of a group of his associates.
 There was unanimous assent given not by single word spoken, but by a strongly assentive silence.
 ''Did you ever live in a county in the south where there were no negroes?"
 Every head swung from right to left and one of the party, who was possessed of considerable old-time sentiment said:
 "I hope I never will, because this old south of ours Is a sweet smelling savor. It has produced thousands of men. I mean white people, worthy the name of southerners-or had I not better say Americans But the negro. although even now an embryo American citizen, in Its fullest sense, has been an essential part in the bringing of our southern folk to the present full measure of their material prosperity Our people, of course, gave the negroes all the morals they have"
 ''I made a mistake, I see now" said the first speaker, "in my questions. I will ask another question. Did you ever want a negro boy or man to run an err rand-did you ever want one of them to bridle and. saddle your horse and when you rode home save you the trouble of riding to the barn, unbridling and unsad- ding the animal, watering him, halterins him in the stable and then feeding him with either rain or snow falling, or even in good weather--after a long rider"
 There was bow of assent and no phil osophizing.
 Now" said the first speaker, "I lived years ago where negroes were not al- lowed to live. except one family"
 What county?"
 'sComanche, about one hundred miles southwest of Fort Worth"
 How did 1t come about?'
 Away back in the latter part of the s0s-about '86-one of those horn- bly frequent crimes was committed by a negro. He was quickly caught and was punished in accordance with the rules of the unwritten law.
 "The county was sparseiy settled. It was largely used for pasturage of cattle, but was rapidly developing into grain region. The whites were in considerable preponderance, but hey lived at some dis tance form each other. They met at Comanche. the name of the county seat. which had a population of. possibly 400, and was distant from one railroad six teen miles and from another fourteen miles.
 'sThe meeting was different from most American meetings. There was very lit- tie speaking. Every one knew the work at hand and on the verbal motion of some reputable citizen 1t was resolved to give every negro in the county one weeks notice to leave the county, and
