Felix Hall, the negro who is in the coun- ty jail on a charge of killing Commissary Clerk J. W. Clark several months ago, was visited in jail yesterday by J. F. Bowden of Bessemer and J. W. Davis of Ensley for the purpose of identifying him. Hall was taken out into the jail yard where they could get a good look at him. but the visitors failed to make a positive identification, inasmuch as Hall had several weeks growth of whiskers on his face, and until they could see him shaved, the visitors would not identify him positively.

The atmosphere of the jail seems con- ducive to poetic thought Whether sher- if Burgin feeds the prisoners on night engale tongues and eau de cologne, or Browning sandwiches and rose leaves is not known, but certain it is that the prls- oners' thoughts are guided by a poetic muse, who could not live on the ordln- ary prison fare of greasy bacon and corn bread.
 Not long ago, Frank Duncan, who is in jail under a life sentence for the killing of Police Officer Kirkley in March, 1900, wrote a poem for the Age-Herald which was duly published. and now W. J.

 As the result of practical joke, the scalp of a prominent young man in this village is being sought by two irate persons, formerly friends of the aforesaid young nan. This young man was not in the best of health yester- day and he went to Carney's drug store asked for a glass of soda with some effective powder known as salts in 1t. While waiting for it a friend of his, ateamster. who is working on the maeadam road, came in. He guwas asked to have drink. \ Unconscious of what he was to receive, he replied that he would have little of the same. Accordingly he was given a dose of the same. Before they had finished 1t one of the many barbers of the town came in. On being asked to have some lie replied he would have a glass of the same. Innocence is bliss at times, but on this occasion innocence was the cause of all the trouble.

PRAISE FOR BOY CHOIR.
They Were Banqueted by the Ladies
 of Fairfield on Sunday.


 of Fairfield on Sunday
 The boys choir of St Patrick,s church is coming in for unlimited praise for it's fine singing and excel lent department at Father Coleman's jubilee mass in Fairfield last Sunday. Last evenings Bridgeport Farmer has the following about the singing of the Waterbury boys:
 The mass was rendered by the vested boy choir of St Patrick's church, Wa terbury under the direction of Father Augustine Jordan, formerly of Bridge port, and now located in Waterbury. The singing of the juveniles was one of the features of the service, and the excellence of their work brought forth many expressions of favorable com ment from the attending clergy and congregation. The boys were accom- panied by their own orchestra, and Miss Minnie Murphy of the Notre Dame convent of Waterbury, presided at the organ. At the close of the mass, which attracted mixed congregation ill numbers excelling any previous gather ing in the history of the church, tho boys rendered for the recessional "Glory to the Father" Gounod Out side the edifce hundreds, unable to gain admission, assembled and as the vested choir boys walked with measur- edGtread and uplifted heads, singing as they went, the sight was one which for impressiveness and devotion has never been surpassed in this vicinity.
 Instead of vespers in the afternoon, the vested choir gave the sacred con- cert on the green fronting the church. and 1t seemed as if all Fairfield was present. The solo singing of Masters German and Keefe won high encomi- ums from the audience. The mandolin club, composed of members of the vest ed chorus, charmed the assemblage with the excellence of their selections. At the close of the concert the boys were banqueted by the ladies of the town, regardless of religious difference es at St Thomas hall.
 The proficiency which the boys have attained is in large measure due to the untiring labors of Father Jordan, and his Bridgeport friends and admir- CTS will be delighted to hear of the large measure of success his efforts have attained. Father Jordan is stu dent of the old masters and is himself an accomplished singer.

Salary and Success of the Teacher.

Many a teacher does a glorious
work in the schoolroom and re-
ceives but small pecuniary re-
ward. No laborer in this world is
to be more highly honored than
the teacher in the country school
who does a really serious work,
and who continues to do it with
no hope Of an increased compen-
sation. There is no hope that he
will become in time highly paid
superintendent; he is not expect
ing this result; he is happy to be
of the benefit which he feels he is
to the boys and girls who assemble
in the schoolhouse with him.
Such man, if he arrives at the
point in teaching that he does more
than the routine work, is able to
affect the spiritual nature Of the
pupil, may claim to be successful,
no matter what his salary.-Me

Galveston furnishes an example
of the direction in which the pecu-
mary benefits of public improve
ments 60. Since the destruction of
that city by the tidal wave last fall,
Galveston building lots have had
hardly any value. But the talk of
a sea wall has put a little life into
land speculation. The actual cree
ton of sea wall would add mil
lions to the value of those lots.
Real estate dealers understand this
whether the public does or not. One
of them advertised in the Galveston
News about a month ago, soliciting
purchasers of lots on the expecta-
tion of congressional improvement.
"Buy property now and here" his
advertisements read; "Galveston
will have gigantic sea wall in
front, a mammoth moat in rear, a
channel 36 feet deep and 1900
feet wide in front of docks. The
present republican congress will
build it. Hurrah for Mckinley
and the sea wall Bargain No. l."

The Orange Industry.

Two years hence, If not next
year, the California orange crop
will supply every market in the
country, and, it is asserted, at prices
that will exclude all foreign com
petition, without the aid of a pro-
tective tariff. Last year II, 900 car
loads or oranges and lemons were
shipped from that state, and this
season the crop is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000 cars. Yet there
are 100000 trees which have not
yet come into bearing.
In Florida the yield for the pre-
sent year will be 1000, 900 boxes,
or 3, 300 cars. Arizona has devel-
oped this industry to the extent of
shipping 100 cars week, and yet,
previous to 1872, oranges were not
commercially grown in the United
States. All we ate were imported.
A nearer view heightens the
meaning of these figures. Thus so
cities east of California receive one
load or more of oranges per week
from the coast. This is not large,
when thought of in connection with
New York, but when spoken of in
with Dayton, Utica,
Indianapolis, Grand Rapids and the
like, it becomes more interesting.
Lots of five ears are frequently cut
out of through trains at Detriot and
distributed up the east coast of
Michigan-thus Mount Clemens,

one car, and so on,-"Fruit

Get the Best Teachers.

Our schools can never be what
they ought to be until the very best
men can be kept in them as teach.
ers. It is not enough that each
state can boast q few educators on
an equal in ability with the best
lawyers, editors and business men.
Every community with hundred
or more children to educate should
have at the head of its schools a
man the equal in ability, in edu.
cation, in experience, in culture
and in business tact to the best.
And what right has the community
to expect this unless it is willing to
pay what the best men can obtain
in other callingsi Make teaching
the most honorable, the most In

Abuse Of the Title ..Proeessor.

Abuse Of the Title Professor.
Discourage the use Of the title
professor" Let it be restricted to
those who teach in colleges which
grant degrees. It is not misused
in Michigan SO much as in our Sis
ter states Of Indiana, Ohio, and
Illinois, but it must be redeemed
or discarded by educators. The
term is appropriated by every corn
doctor, tight-rope walker, dog
trainer, dancing master, sleight of
hand performer and fakir. Many a
village school master is dubbed
professor" by his pupils and his
people, and frequently the smaller
the school the thicker the titles.
Let us do our share to correct this.
