A NEW DEPARTURE
 FOR LAND TITLES
The Birmingham Title and Guarantee Company Will Issue Policies Guar anteeing Loss From De.
 fective Titles.

The Birmingham Title and Guaranty Company Is making a new departure and will on and after October l issue Gharan- tee policies, guaranteeing purchasers, owners and mortgages against loss by reason of defective titles. A little history in this connection will be of interest.
 Some two years ago, Mir J. K. Brock man and associates purchased the records and plant of the Garrett-U Underwood Ab- stract Company of this city. MT. Brock man having been In this business for years and being recognized as the ablest abstractor of land titles in the country, with the personnel and influence af his associates, stepped right into the fore front of the business, the corporate name of the new company organized by them being known as the Birmingham Title Company. This name soon became the symbol for excellence, and the demands of the business made 1t necessary from time to time to increase the clerical force.
 As transactions in real estate grew, there came a demand for guaranteed titles. A great many of our newcomers and some of our foreign investors not having been accustomed to our present method and many of our local investors feeling that they should have more safe guards thrown around their investments to save litigation, expense and loss have  Birmingham Title and Guaranty Com pany was the result of this demand. The Birmingham Title Company was reorgan- ized under the name of the Birmingham Title and Guaranty Company. with a capital of s100O00. MT. Brockman, the general manager, was sent North and East to investigate the latest and best features. These methods will be put in practice here, and our people will have the benefit of them.
 The company will issue two classes of guarantee policies. One will be perpetual and absolute, and the other will run during the life of mortgages and trust deeds. These policies besides giving abso- lute protection to the owner, purchaser or mortgagee, will facilitate real estate transactions and enable the seller to close a transaction at once and avoid doubts and delays. The company will continue to furnish abstracts of title of the high standard which it has maintained in the past.
 One of the best evidences of the confi- dence which the company holds Is that 1t has recenly been awarded contract for the compilation of an abstract of title to 300,oo0 acres of land by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company em- bracing lands in fifteen counties of Ala bama. This Is the largest contract of it's kind ever undertaken in the South.
 Attorneys are invited to examine the guarantee policies. Prices as low as Is consistent with the labor, skill and risk involved

She SNternatAoMaA AacAM Race Trial Spins All Over-Coumbia Ready and wIIing-Shan>
 rock Prepared AnxousWill be Memorable Contest
BY PAUL sTELLcoUR.

New York. September 19.-Little re- mains to be said of the two boats which in a day or two will sail their first race over the course of Sandy Hook. Never in the history of yachting have two yes sells been so well prepared for a contest. The prize for which they are to sail Is more highly valued than any other trophy in the calendar of sport. A simple and not particularly attractive piece of hand iwork is the Americas cup. Alongside the massive and pretentious pieces of plate offered by rich men and bearing their names for minor contests 1t looks almost insignificant. To contest for it and to defend 1t millions have been ex- pended, and whatever way the approach ing struggles result, the friendly rivalry on the waters of old ocean will be con tinued In succeeding years. The people of two of the greatest nations on the face of the earth are looking forward with anxious longings to these peaceful con- tests which will result in the transfer of the cup across the Atlantic or in it's re- tention here, which has been It's home for fifty years. The charming feature of
 
 standing the keen desire and ambition to lift the cup and hold 1t until 1t Is won back, and the equally fixed determina- tion and resolve to defend 1t and keep 1t where 1t Is, there Is not the slightest trace of bitterness or i'll feeling between the immediate rivals or the partisans, admirers or advocates on either side. It Is an example which speaks in the words of peace to the whole world. Millions have been spent to win and to defend this simple emblem, which represents pluck, courage, daring, skill, handicraft and the progress In the construction of sailing craft in our own day. In olden days when the sport of kings caused the masses to assemble bloodshed and death were the eliminating features of the gathering When the Columbia ant Shamrock meet when they will on the Atlantic It will be a grand pageant, with the influence of peace, good will, honest rivalry and true sport dominating what is likely to prove one of the most mag niflcent water spectacles the eye of man ever rested upon.
 The trial spins of both boats are over The ships and the crews are now resting. The measurements have been made; all the standing and running rigging have been carefully examined; every precau- ton that skill and forethought could sug- geSt have been exercised on board the Columbia as well as on the Shamrock The American boat has won her title clear to be the defender. This Is not the time to enter into a controversy as to what the Constitution might have done under different conditions. The Columbia won her right to defend the trophy-the same trophy which she gloriously de- tended two years ago. Apart from any petty quibblings about what might have been under such-and-such conditions, the Columbia Is the best boat of her type that
The age-herald., 1901-09-22

flies the American flag. She Is better boat than she was two years ago.
 So far as the Shamrock is concerneo all who have seen her at anchor or unne1 sail believe her to be the most dangerous craft that ever visited these waters with designs on the AmeTica's cup. No money has been spared in her construction. The best skill of England's greatest designer has been exercised in her formation. Past experience has taught lessons of which subsequent Improvements have been the result Tn every respect this new green beauty Is worthy of the rival she Is prepared to meet. When these two racers draw into line-the two best yachts afloat will fly the racing flags of the two clubs, the New York Yacht and the Royal Ulster Yacht, and enter upon a contest which will be memorable as long as tales of the sea will possess interest ito hear erc.
 If We may form any idea of the magni- ficence of this marine pageant in advance there Is every reason to believe 1t will be the finest aquatic demonstration ever made in American waters. I do not think I would be accused of exaggeration if I said it would equal-If not surpass any yachting display in any part of the world. The general government has un- dertaken to have the course clear. This Is wise measure, for 1t must be borne in mind that every kind of craft will be af1oat, and we'll loaded. with sight-seers to witness the races. Stately steam yachts, excursion boats, ocean steamers. tug boats. In fact every kind of vessel will be impressed into the service to swell the numbers and lend contrast to the grand pageantry of the scene The broad surface of the Atlantic, with a clear blue sky lining the horizon, Is the canvas on which the greatest marine picture of our time will be drawn The flags of all nations will be happily blend ed. The yacht club burgess from many distant lands will be seen in the throng of masts. There is not a city in this broad land that will not have It's repre- sentative here to swell the crowd of look ers-on and enjoy the grandeur of the picture. It will be the greatest day in the peaceful history of the ocena at our doors. May good winds blow and may the best boat win

Characteristics of corteiyou.

From the New York Times.
 During the four and a half years that George Bruce Cortelyou served the late President Mckinley, first as assistant pri- vate secretary and later as private secre- tary, he developed a remarkable trait of memory.
 As assistant secretary 1t was part of Mir. Cortelyou's duty when the President was travelling to see the reporters from the various newspapers and to furnish them the particulars of the chief execu- tive's movements. Hundreds of reporters throughout the country thus became per sonally acquainted with Mir. Cortelyou, who not only remembered their faces In connection with the newspapers which they represented but in the great majori- ty of cases remembered the personal names of the fnterviewers themselves.
 One day. when a surprised individual mentioned the fact to MT. Corteiyou that he must be the owner of a remarkable memory, he said
 "Oh, I don't know. It seems to me, one might as well do right as other wise"
 Which seemed to indicate that the late Presidents secretary does not realize that he has the remarkable memory which he really has.

TRYING 70 SELL
PANAMA CANAL
UNITED STATES ASKED TO BuY
THE GREAT FRENCH WHITE
ELEPHANT.

New York, April IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
While M. Hutin, president of the
French Panama canal, has been await
ing the participation of Colombia in the
negotiations for the sale of the Panama
canal to the United States, M. Barila,
formerly an engineer of the company,
who says he represents some of the
stockholders, has indicated to the isth-
mian canal commission that the company
is willing to sell it's concession and prop
erty.
M. Barilla will leave in a few days for
France. He has been in Washington for
several days. M. Hutin has seen M.
Barila and the two have talked over the
situation. The representations Of M.
Barila to Rear Admiral Walker, presi-
dent Of the canal commission, have led
to the report that M. Hutin is to be de-
posed from the Office of president of the
French company. 1t Is learned, how
ever, that M. Hutin was advised only 4
few days ago Of his reelection to the
presidency, showing that he is to be re-
tained for another year and the the
majority of the stockholders are satis-
fled with his policy. M. Hutin has con-
tended that under the terms of the con-
cession held by the company, the grant
would be subject to forfeit from the mo-
ment negotiations began for it's sale, un-
less such negotiations had the approval
of the Colombian government. It was
therefore impossible for him to submit
a proposition for the sale Of the con-
cession to the United States. as required
by the isthmian canal commission.

FOUGHT ABOARD
THE HARTFORD
GREY HAIRED HEROES WHO
SAILED WITH FARRAGUT IN
THE CIVIL WAR.

New York, April 1.-About 200 sailors
of Farragut's fleet, with their families.
were entertained yesterday at the Brook
lyn navy yard The feature of the day
was their visit to the Hartford, Farra-
quits old flagship. The old ship was gaily
decorated for the occasion. Among the
visitors We're many who had fought
aboard the Hartford in 1862. They found
many changes in her and when they
looked for her old eight-inch muzzle
leaders and her nine-inch smoothbore
guns they found her equipped with rapid
fire six-pOunders, one-pounders and a
Colt automatic gun. The visitors told
their sons and daughters of the changes
in the ship, sat in their favorite spots
on her decks, recalled old stories of the
war and re-told the old tale of how she
had been struck 240 times during her Is
months of service. The visitors We're
the members of the Association of Vet
Grams of Farragut's fleet and have been
celebrating for a week the entry of the
fleet into the Mississippi river, this being
the 39th anniversary. The nomination
of officers occurred at Saturdays meet
ing. Most of the present officers We're
nominated for reelection. #. H. Grove
was nominated for the office of vice.
commander in place of the present vice.
commander.
Printed ballots will be distributed all
through the country and some sent to
members of the association who are now
living in South America. Many will cast
their ballot by mail. The veterans will
leave for their homes today.
