 ing Announcement
 A Montgomery special published in Thursdays New Orleans ,Picayune, says: "Col. E. L. Russell, lately Pres ident of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and now it's General Attorney, has been in Montgomery for two days. He left tonight, and his friends have admitted that he is an avowed candidate for. the United States Senate to succeed Sena- tor Pettus. Colonel Russell was a warm supporter of Governor Johnston in his race against Senator Morgan last year, and starts the race with the sup port of all that faction. He did not, however, become involved in its per- sonal phases. and has much general popularity and strength regardless of faction"
 The Mobile Register of yesterday copies the above and says:
 Colonel Russell was asked last night as to whether or not the report Is true that he is an avowed candidate for the position of United States Senator to succeed Senator Pettus. He said that he had been strongly urged by in- fiuential friends to announce himself as a candidate for the United States Senate, and that he had taken the mat ter under advisement and was consid- ering 1t but as yet he had reached no conclusion with regard to 1t.

that the man who has acquired or

and pfiyatlon, shared by his family
has no right TO deprive them OF 1t by
indulglng a dying impulse or fear OF his
own Yet the aspiration to crown the
work OF life by some conspicuous act

desire and to make the satisfaction felt
during years of work. instead of limit
ing It 10 the final act to associate II
with professional or business activity,
and thus ennoble every employment, the
influence cannot fail to be good, not
only in thus rewarding the giver but
ia stimulating the practice OF wise and
efficient benefcencs Such a method
Is suggested by the vast extent which
life insurance has attained In our days.
Widespread as the practice Is, 1t is
chiefly limited as yet TO provisions for
the family or for the purposes 10 which
the estate In general is destined. But
Il Is obviously appropriate also To
make provisions for charitable ends.
