FAMOUS OLD MAN
 HAS PASSED AWAY
First Superintendent of Tele- graph in the Succeed
 ed Lucien Julien Walker

New York. April 2S.-James Douglas Reid known to telegraphers throughout the county as "The father of the tele- graph" died today at his residence in this city. In 1889 he was appointed United States consul to Dunfermline, Scotland, through the influence of Andrew Carnegie, who, as a boy, had served as messenger and telegraph operator under MT. Reid at Pittsburg.
 MT. Reid succeeded Lucien Julien Walk CT of Alabama as consol at Dunfermnne and took office January 1, 1890. Mr. Walk CT had been appointed by President Cleve- land in 1885, at which time he was the youngest full consular officer in the American service. He served throughout the Cleveland administration and was re- tained in office nearly year by President Harrison but MT. Carnegie, although very friendly to him. pursuaded the Pres ident to appoint MT. Reid, MT. Carnegies old drtinle Ffaastersof tefegraphy. MT. Reid was then "A. and so at his death he was S5. He was retained throughout the sec ond Cleveland administration, during which period MT. Walker served in the higher capacity of United States consol at Cork, Ireland, and the venerable tele- grapher felt perfectly certain of being kept in office by. President Mckinley, but he was early. replaced by. a college professor from Michigan. MT. Walker re- mained nearly year in office under Pres ident Mckinley.
 Dunfermline Is Andrew Carnegie's birth place, and the lowly little stone house in which he was born in 1884 still stands and is pointed out to sightseers. It seem ed to have been sort of personal ambi- tion of his to have his first American master made American consol in his na- tive city, the Aud Grey Toun" of Vest ern Fifeshire. MT. Reid was born in Edinburgh. 'ss.st-''.
 This notable old man had double dis tinction in having been called "The Fath- CT of the Telegraph" for not only was he the oldest telegrapher in the world, but he was the first superintendent of a telegraph line or company who ever liVedi

Elks Will Roam the Streets With the Freedom of
 the Forest AT 1I3O P. M. FAIR BEGINS  Floral Parade Starts at 2:3o and the Queen VIII Deliver the City Keys to the Director Gen
 eral at the Grounds.

The gates to the Elks Street Fair will be thrown open at 1:s0 o'clock this after noon.
 All the members of the local lodge of Elks will assemble at their hall at Il o'clock and will form procession and march to the entrance to the Street Fair At 2:3O o'clock the floral parade will form at Capitol Park. The queen of the carnival will be presented with the key of the city by Mayor Drennen, and the line of decoratedl vehicles will begin their drive through the city, entering the grounds of the Street Fair and finally dispersing at the Southern Club, where prizes will be awarded.
 At the judges stand in the Fair grounds Director General Meglemry will be pfssented with the city key by the queen, and the great carnival will for mally begin.
 Birmingham is bathed in royal purple and white, and in every avenue and street long streamers and hundreds of flags proclaim the success of the Elks and the beginning of great Street Fair and Carnival.
 For many days all Birmingham has la- bored to make this week of pleasure, and rainy weather is all that can cause disappointment. To-day the. merry maker viii bes given license and six days of fun begin.
 eThe Street Fair buildings are complete and beautiful arch bearing the insignia of the Order of Elks obstructs Second avenue just below Eighteenth street. Be- hind this arch there are several blocks crowded with booths and tents all elab- orately decorated. The red fez of the Turk, the arched eye of the Jap and the stolid countenance of the Arab mingle with the crowd and make up a scene on the streets of the Midway intensely inter- esting.
 The Elks have done a great work in promoting the funmaking project, and are being heartily congratulated by out side citizens who haven't the honor of wearing antlers. Everybody joint with the Elks in their enterprise, and the Girl With the Auburn Hair greets all alike.
 All day yesterday the Street Fair grounds were thronged with sightseers, and the Midway artists who happened to be lounging around their quarters were kent busy answering questions. The Mid way is hardly large enough to accommo- date the various shows, but Manager Gaskill has succeeded in getting them all in position and will present one of the noisiest and most interesting attractions ever seen in the city.
