and Magnificent.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The chancel-
lor of the British exchequer may get a
goodly sum from the estate of John w.
Mackay. 4E
In legal circles it is considered nice
point as to whether the British gov
eminent is or is not entitled to claim
the death duty of s per cent on what
Mrs. Mackay may inherit under her
husbands will, since, although not nat
uraliZed, she is domiciled in England.
A death duty must be paid on all the
testator's investments in. England Sc
curities, which are said to reach near
ly $10,000,000. But Mr.. Mackay's
friends assert that foreseeing a pros
pect that his estate might be mulcted
by the English treasury because his
wife was domiciled there, he assigned
to her four years ago the greater part
of the fortune he intended to bequeath
her, including his English investments,
and that the balance of his fortune
goes to his son.

By Inspector Zimmerman
Resolved, That the Board of School
affirms it's belief in the general funda-
mental principles that adequate school
facllities and equipment should be pro-
vided for those who, under the law. are
entitled to school privileges in this indie
pendent school district and that in pro
vlding this, wise and just economy
should be practiced, in no way. however,
hampering liberal use of essential and
necessary provision for the maintenance
of the schools. Also, that teachers en-
ployed to conduct the work should devote
their time to the discharge of their du-
ties in a manner that will prove beneficial
to the interests of the school, and that
in carrying out this principle we believe
that it would be well to arrange:
|. That those principals who have
eight or less room buildings should have
charge of room and conduct work of
grade. or division of a grade.
2. That an enrolment providing an
average attendance of forty pupils to
each room would prove most satisfactory.
3. That halliday sessions should be
discontinued as rapidly as possible, and
that, hereafter. all persons engaged to
conduct the work for halliday only, shall
receive half the salary paid for whole
day service.

P. F. BURFORD SHOOTS
 DR. W. C. MILES IN TEMPLE

and with assault with intent to murder. pr. Miles made bond for $500 and was re- leased from jail.
 The trouble grew out of some state- ments which are alleged to have been made about Mrs. Burford. It seems that pr. Miles and MT. May were sent for to come to the room. May was asked first If a certain statement was true. and he said that it was. The same question was then asked Dr. Miles. and he also stated it was true. Instantly Mrs. Burford drew the pistol and tried to shoot Dr. Miles. When she failed the pistol was taken from her by her husband. and he fired at Dr. Miles three times one of the bull lets grazing his forehead Dr. Miles then drew pistol and shot once.
 MT. Burford was seen at the city jail last night and refused to make a state ment further than that he was going away from Birmingham when the trouble occurred, and had a telegram calling him out of town to go to work.
 Dr. Miles made a statement which Is practically the same as the statement above. He also added that Mrs. Bur ford was seated on a trunk when he went into the room. He refused to say what the statement was concerning which he and May were questioned.

of the evening will be that of the grand worthy chaplain who has travelled sev- eral thousand miles to be present at the initiation
 The Order of Eagles is probably the youngest fraternal order in the United States. It was organized four years ago in Seattle, Wash. and grew out of a local organization called the Order of Good Things These things were so good that the Seattle men decided that others over the country should be allotted to enjoy them. The Order of Eagles was organized in the fall of 1898 and since that time it has spread all over the United States, it now having in the neighbor- hood of 300,000 members, including many of the men whose homes are best known with the development of the country in all lines
 At present there are 260 aeries in the United States and new ones are being instituted every week. The order has met with popular favor. The emblem. the emblem of the United States and the colors, red, white and blue are also those of America.
 With it's patriotic flavor the order has grown to a surprising place in the sec ret order world. The initiation Is said to be one of the prettiest and most im- pressive of any secret initiation in the world, and men who have gone into many other orders say 1t Is one of the best.
