Alex l. London Suggests SeV-
 erI Municipal Changes
WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARD
Thinks the Board Should Not Become Too Close a Corporation and Should Follow Plans of
 University. 5f

The following Is a card from Alex T. London in which he discusses methods to prevent the city board of education from becoming too close corporation and suggests putting three women on the board. The question of publicity in the matter of granting public franchises is also discussed. MT. London says: To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l desire to thank you for the sugges- tion contained in your editorial in your Sunday issue in regard to the board of education for the city. The suggestions l had already considered. It is my idea to make the board of education self continuing. something like the present arrangement of the university, giving the power of approval if need be to some other board in regard to the persons selected to fill vacancies. This last Idea is to prevent the board from becoming too close a corporation. It has further occurred to me. that there is no other field in which the good women of the city can be more useful to the communi- ty, and hence would favor putting at least three good women on the board of education. This is no novel experi- ment and in my opinion would do much towards giving activity to the board and securing public confidence
 There Is one other suggestion which l made, which desire to call to your par ticuar attention. and that was in regard to advertising proposed grants of public franchise, the need for which Is fully shown and exemplified by the situation at present confronting the city.
 About two years ago the Peoples Home Telephone company requested fran chise, in which they specified rates which would be satisfactory to themselves, SIS for domestic and $36 per annum for busi- ness telephones. At the last meeting of the board. this same Telephone company filed a petition, asking modification of It's contract with the city, and to be al- lowed to increase the rates. No further publicity, than the bare statement that an application for authority to increase the rates was giv,l out so far as my ob- servaion extended. It develops now that the proposed increase will make the rates as follows:
 For residence telephone. per annum, $24; for business telephone. per annum, $42; until they have secured three thousand subscribers and after that date, by the terms of the proposed amendment, there Is no limitation on the rate to be charged
 do not propose to enter into dis cussion of the merits of this question, but simply desire to ask whether, i:i your op. nion, justice to the community does lot require that this application and the proposed changes should be submitted to the consideration of the public before the board of aldermen acts on it. If the com munity wants higher rates can stand it personally, but do not believe this is the temper of the public at present Yours truly. ALEX T. LONDON.

The Sewanee alumni will meet at il o'clock this morning in the office of J. A. vanHoose in the Potter building to dis cuss plans for entertaining the sewanee football team which will play Auburn here next Thursday. ~
 Robert Jemison, ,Jr., chairman of the committee on arrangements which was appointed at a meeting of the alumni last week received a letter yesterday from Vice Chancellor B. L. Wiggins of the university granting permission for the team to stay over day in Birming- ham. The manager of the football team was not in sewanee at the time this let ter was written and he has not yet been heard from as to whether the teams engagements will permit 1t to stay over. but 1t is probable that 1t will.
 It Is proposed by the alumni to make the college boys have a good time while here, and also to show them the indus tries of the district. The street railway company will grant them the use of a special car and several theatrical and dinner parties will be gotten up In their honor.

JESSE FRENCH GO.
 WINS THE PRIZES
ALABAMA STATE FAIR AWARDS FIRST AND SECOND DIPLOMAS TO THIS POPULAR FIRM--ARTls- TIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

The Jesse French Piano and Organ company has received the first and sec ond prizes from the Alabama State Fair association, both on its general exhibit and it's instruments. This was especially gratifying to the company in view of the fact that there were several other exhib- itors who made creditable displays.
 The artistic character of the Jesse French company's exhibit was remarked by every person of taste who visited the fair. And when 1t came to the instru- ments in particular all music lovers were enthusiastic over the pianos and the great vocation.
 The Starr piano which Is manufactured by the Jesse French Piano and organ company, was heard with delight last week by professionals and amateurs. Ezra Wyatt gave recitals on this instru- ment. He attracted crowds and every one praised his touch, but as a musician said the Starr Is so luscious in tone and so human in it's singing quality that any performer on it would have a good touch. A majority of the world-famed virtuosos who have endorsed the Star refer espe- cially to its responsive action and its pure, rich tone. This piano won the gold medal at the Chicago Worlds fair in 1893 and at the Tennessee Centennial at Nash vile. It also won the gold medal at the last Alabama state fair.
 The Starr is naturally a quick seller and it is hard for the French company to turn the instruments out fast enough. Other fine pianos sold by this concern are the Steinway and the Knabe.
 The splendid vocation also gave great delight at the fair. It is singularly sweet voiced and is powerful enough in volume to fill cathedral. It has full combi- nation of beautiful stops. No vocation so large was ever before exhibited at a state fair.
 Emmett Beckwick gave recitals on the vocation and among those who tried 1t and praised 1t was Miss Belle Mccoy, the brilliant organist of the First Methodist church.
 The exhibit of the Jesse French Piano and Organ company not only reflected credit on Birmingham, but 1t would have done credit to Cincinnati or any other commercial and musical city. sss

 fair the visitor enters the heart of the fun-making department. In all direc- tions are side shows of every description and the shouting of the spielers, accom- panied by the popping of revolvers and the peculiar notes from the various mu- sical instruments lend color to the scheme. This Is called the Esplanade. A few feet further Is the entrance to the Stadium and here the Gaskill-Mundy Carnival company can be seen in all its glory. The doorways to the varions the aters are enlivedaby huge arches painted in faring colors and from the inside comes sounds of revelry. m
 These shows are really meritorious and as all are conducted on clean, moral plane persons in any walk of life can en- ter without hesitancy. The one remark able thing about the carnival is the ab- sence of the "hoochee-coochee" which has frequently caused embarrassment and suppression by the police authori- ties

The trained wild animal show. was the center of interest last night from the fact that La Belle Salina, French wo- man, made her debut in America as a dancer. She enters a den of African lions and dances with as much ease and self composure as though she were before the ordinary footlights.
 The free performances are considered the best in the entire show. They are the spiral tower act by Philion, the high div Ing and Fitzpatrick, the one-legged bi- cyclists ride down the stairway.
 The Gaskill-Mundy shows arrived yes terday morning and occupied 30. cars, the unloading of which was done in skill full manner and witnessed by large crowd of curious persons. The work was done so quickly that in three hours the carnival city had been built.
 The grounds will be open today at 1 o'clock D. m. and everything will be in full blast until midnight.

 In seems that the negro woman and the cat went to sleep in the. room and that the cook accidentally left the gas turned on in tine gas stove. The escaping gas asphyxiated the woman and the cat would have met the same death had it stayed in the room a short while longer.

 Many Attractive Booths, and
 With the Free Shows There is Something Entertainingfora!l

Tn the glare of hundreds of twinkling lights and with the plaintive notes from the midway horn in the distance. the Birmingham Trades Carnival was declar- ed ready for fun last night and the crowd poured in the gates.
 The carnival management had done its work well and those present last night declared 1t by far the best of it's kind ever witnessed in Birmingham Every thing that goes to make a street fair att tractive has been secured and for ten days all classes that make up an indus trial city can revel in music, sideshows. pop corn and crimson lemonade.
 Proceeding the opening of the gates a procession made up of platoon of police. the city officials and the members of the Trades Council wended it's way through the streets, arriving at the grounds at 6;30 o'clock.

SIMPSONS RETIREMENT.

The fact that William T. Sampson
was so III as to be unconscious at the
time he was retired from the navy last
week because of having reached the age
limit Of 62 years, accounts for the abb
sence of the coarse abuse which would
otherwise have been heaped upon him
by certain newspapers of the country.
To speak nothing but good of the dead
may be stretched to apply In this case
to a man who Is in the last stages of
disease.
touching incident of the rear adj
mlral's notification of retirement was
the enclosure of copy of President
McKinley's letter. addressed to him after
the battle of Santiago, and which read
as follows:

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ID, .cO2.

The efforts of the Inter Mountain to
point out to loyal republicans the dis
advantages of factionalism and the need
of harmony II the state Is to be carried
for the party that stands for justice,
good government and prosperity in this
country, have brought to this office a
flood of letters from private citizens, in
dorsing the utterances of this newspaper
and urging the prompt and effective dis
couragement of any men who seek dem-
ocratic aid or follow democratic advice
I'm fomenting trouble within the ranks.
If any grievances exist in the matter of
party management, the place to correct
them Is In the state convention where
the representatives of the people are
regularly called to adjust all difficulties.
arrange all political work and apportion
the honors of party service. Factional-
ism Is Injurious, because one faction Is
likely TO be no better than another, and
IL one be deposed to give place to an.
other, in what way are the common
people represented? Politically speak
ing. II we do not hang together, we shall
hang separately.

A dispatch from Helena announces
the resumption of the timber hearing.
1t is yet too early to anticipate the re-
suit, but there is reason to believe that
as far as the land officials are concerned
the suspicious voiced by one of the gov
ernment experts at an early stage of the
proceedings touching their conduct will
not be resurrected. The state republi-
can committee at it's meeting last month
adopted a resolution expressing its re-
gret that an agent Of the government
sent out here to look up timber business
should interest himself in politics, and,
being democrat, should seek to disturb
the tenure of reputable and conscien-
tious land Office officials for partisan
purposes Now that the hearing has
been resumed, 1t Is hoped the investi-
cation will be restricted to the matter
at issue and not slop over into the do
main of politics.

Tuesdays issue of the Minneapolis
Journal speaks of the prospective immi-
grafton to Montana as follows: "Well
informed railway men place the number
of homeseekers who came into the
Northwest in 1901, including Montana
and the coast states, at 100000. The
homeseekers' movement in 1902 is conf
IDENTIFY expected to reach the great total
of 100000" The press of the Twin Cities
seems to agree that the grand total
stated is not at all too large. The wave
of homeseekers which will be swept into
the Northwest in the spring months of
the present year promises to be The
largest ever known since free homes
began to attract settlers to this favored
section. 1t is generally realized that the
chances for securing good agricultural
lands are becoming scarce as the years
go by, and the present opportunity
should not be neglected

The republicans who have recently
identified themselves with the movement
which eliminated in the pilgrimage to
Washington last month may be right or
wrong in the position they have assume |
ana the grievances they allege. but
under under no circumstances will their
cause be strengthened by the cham :
pionship of newspapers which in the last
state election were working obviously if
not confessedly In opposition to their
own county, state and national repub-
lican ticket. If republicans disagree
they will get together in good time and
settle their differences in their own way
and of their own volition, but they need
no democratic organ to represent them.
The proper place for democratic organs
Is In the democratic camp, and there we
wish them all happiness and prosperity,
If such things are possible to democratic
organs.
