RICH M EN
Have Taken Up the Fad of Keeping
 Private Guards.
Washington Correspondent Chicago chron

Washington Correspondent Chicago Chron-
 icle
 The Letters, in pursuance of the fashion which is generally practiced in New York have a watchman who does sentry duty out side of the great mansion in Dupont circle from early evening to the dawn of the morning. He Is a husky, athletic, dan4r- ous-looking man, who wears a short pea jacket and siouch hat, and usually car ries his right hand in his pocket The late Cornelius Vanderbilt was the first million aire to employ a watchman. Philip D. Ar mour of .CiAicago followed Mir. Vanderbilt's exemple after some thoughtless person had sent him an alleged infernal machine. Then nearly all of the conspicuous millionares of New York began to take up the thing as a fad, with the result that the fine resi- dence district of the country's metropolis is tine most thoroughly guarded n the world President Cleveland kept an armed sentry in box where he could command the main entrance to the White House and while President Mckinley has permitted the box to remain in a part of the White House grounds, where it is less conspicu- ous than it was formerly, he, too, has sub- scribed to the watchman habit. The Lett CTS. however. are fife nrsr or tne 1ss.sifny- ton millonaires to employ distinctive guardian. and now that the example has been set 1t will probably follow as matter of course that other rich families will also have watchmen.

RISING COST OF SOLDIERS

From the New York World
 General Macarthur has recommended the payment of a bounty of $25O to every sol- dier in the Philippines who re-enlists for another term. And so anxious are the men to return home that no certainty is felt that even this liberal bonus will suffice to keep our standing army in Asia up to the 6O,OOO mark, at which General MacAr- thur says it must be maintained Almost simultaneous announcement is made that the British government has been forced to multiply by four the per diem pay of its mounted troops in South Africa in order to recruit their constantly depicting ranks.

Olmsted Resolution.

With thanks largely to the skill of Messrs. Underwood and Richardson, the minority were enabled to send the Olm- sted resolution to the census commit tee, and there, to use MT. Underwoods words, 'let it die." It doubtless will The apportionment bill now under con- sideration in the House will be passed without reference to it, and thus for ten years big question will remain dor mant, doubtless.
 The Republicans showed their teeth and their retaliatory disposition over the Olmsted resolution. for they supported it almost solidly. The vote in favor of considering the resolution was 1O3 to 91, which very fairly represents the two parties in the House. But for the determined fight led by Mr. Underwood, backed by MT. Richardson this attempt to reopen sectional strife and to renew the passions of the civil war might have become the basis of serious effort looking to reduction in Southern rep resentation. It is dead now, and no more attention need be paid to it.
 It was directed against the State of Mississippi, South Carolina and Louis- iana, although in the resolution an in- quiry was called for in all States. Un- der it the poll tax qualifications of Pennsylvania should have been investi- gated, for these qualifications would, in a Southern State, be sufficient to dis franchise thousands of it's negro votes. But the strength of this effort, together with the approaching decision of the Supreme Court upon the grandfather clause" of Louisiana and North Caro- lima, should be taken into consideration by the constitutional convention which meets in May.

Beautiful Day, wretched Streets.

Yesterday old Christmas, the festival of the Epiphany was an ideal day, such as might come in early spring. The sky was cloudless, the sunlight brilliant, and the atmosphere clear and warm. Thousands, of the inhabitants journeyed the trolley cars into the country, and caught the full free breath of spring in the middle of Win ter. The streets of the city were hlthy, muddy disreputable-the entire general ap- pearance of Birmingham was far from good. The hundreds of houses which have needed paint for years and the hundreds of disgraceful front fences, all looked rustier and uglier than ever before What has be- come of the Secret Society for the Destruc- ton of Front Fences?

Confederate Wounded.

After the battle of Sharpsburg, or Antie- tam, in September, 1862, aome noble wom- en of Baltimore obtained permission of the Federal authorities to nurse the wounded Confederate prisoners in the Burly war hospital. Amongst those women-angels of light and goodness-was Mrs. Amelia B. Chenoweth now residing at 1429 East Fay cite street, Baltimore, and understood to be kinswoman of MT. w. A. Chenoweth one of the most highly honored of Birming- hams business men,
 Mrs. Chenoweth has been telling a writer for the Baltimore Sun some of her exper- fences. and they will appeal to every old Confederate veteran, and to every blessed woman of the South who can remember the years of the terrible war This wom- an of mercy and charity says, and old be- roes like Hon. w. c. Ward can bear her out, that the chief matter of concern to the suffering was the fear that in case of death they would be buried with the "un- known dead' and their families and friends would be left ir ignorance of their fate. In response to many earnest appeals Mrs Chenoweth made list of those soldiers who came under her care This list has never been published before and will be whose names are given bur dy all who bear in sweet remembrance the gentle mnistra- tions and undaunted courage of the women of Baltimore.
 The men cared for by Mrs Chenoweth and her assistants were largely from Ala bama, Georgia, and the Carolinas and were mainly from the ranks. Mrs Chenoweth gives these names of Alabamians: Fourth Infantry. J. A. Chapman, Company B: Fifth Infantry, T. c. lille, w. E. McCartv Company K; Sixth Infantry. A. A. Me Queen; Twelfth Infantry, George Wbitfe,d Thirteenth Infantry, T. E. Kutt. Comnanv D; Fourteenth Infantry B. F. Idndsev Company G.
 The Georgians were: Phillips Legion Capt. James M. Johnson, Company,I, Mar ietta, Ga.; N. l. Davis. Company -: George D. Brown, CompanyB. Eighth Infantrv-s D. Sarthink, Company D; M G. Christian.

Register both object to this list of the six eading counties of the South:
 | Orleans Parish (New Orleans) . 2S7, ,1O4 ?. Shelby County (Memphis) ........ .153 557 3. Jefferson County (Birmngham) 14O52O 4 Davidson County (Nashville) ..... .122 S15 5. Fulton County (Atlanta) ........... .117, ,36s G. Henrico County (Richmond) ........ I15 112
 If our memory serves us correctly this list has appeared before in the Age Herald, and we see no reason to doubt its correctness. The Atlanta Journal urges that the number of square miles, in its county should be stated, intimat- ing that if it's county had more square miles it would~have more population, whereas our information is that the more square miles one has of outlying territory in the Atlanta district the worse he is off, for it will support neither man nor beast.
 The Mobile Register insists that "Jef- ferson county has dozen cities and towns in it besides Birmingham. True. but every one of those cities and town is tied to Birmingham by trolley or dummy lines, and each and all are a part of this community, even unto Ish- kooda and Wylam. The esteemed Reg ister should be proud of the fact that an Alabama county is scarcely outrank- ed in the cotton States in population, wealth and industrial activity.
