Handsome Monon Cars.

The Mon0n route, in connection with the C., H. and D. railroad, is soon to place into service two combination coaches and parlor cars which are at- fracting the attention of many railroad officials. because of the interesting points they exhibit.

Omen Registration Book

At the court house of each county
the constitution requires the county
board of registrars to sit for six
working days next prior to the twenti-
eth day of December, nineteen hun
dred and two" They are to sit for
the purpose of registering all men who
can be registered under the temper
airy plan of the constitution. The
books of this county will be opened
tomorrow, and they will remain open
until Friday night OF next week. This
is the final opportunity to secure life
registration under the new constitu-
ton.
Registration after next week will
be suspended until the Legislature
passes a law under the permanent
terms of suffrage named in the con
stitution. The legislature cannot
change the demands of literacy and
property holding that will hereafter
constitute the basis of additional
voters. 1t will not and cannot render
registration easy. It is easier now
than it can be rendered after next
week.
There are fully one thousand men
in this city and twice as many more
in the county outside the city, who
should be registered. Fully three
thousand men should be registered in
the coming week, and even then sew
eral thousand men in the county will
stand unregistered. The fact that one
did not pay by or before February l
last a poll tax will not deter any one
from registering. Registration is Of
fered without price. and every citizen
should be registered whether he has
paid or expects 10 pay poll tax. He
may reform in the matter of paying
$3.50 a year to the school fund, and
then registration will be essential and
useful. Secure it in the next six
working days.

GOVERNOR STONE PROTESTS.
1t Is the Suspicion Created BY the
Quarantine That Hurts.

Harrisburg, Pa, December n.-Governor
Stone, in letter to Governor Yates of
Illinois, concerning letter of the latter
forbidding the importation of Pennsyl-
vania sheep and cattle into Illinois. pro-
tests against the quarantine, stating:
ut is not the embargo of cattle going
from Pennsylvania into Illinois that we
complain of, but it is the suspicion and
impression that your proclamation
creates of the danger of the foot and
mouth disease to Pennsylvania cattle,
which may injure our export trade.
"Just why you should consider that
Pennsylvania is a state bordering on and
adjacent to the infected states is difficult
to comprehend, as Pennsylvania is not
only protected by other intervening
states, but by a distance of over 200
miles to the territory actually infected.
and there is substantially no shipment of
cattle from either Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, Rhode Island, into and
through Pennsylvania.
Your proclamation serves to give no.
tice to the foreign countries Of quaran-
tine between the states and gives them
plenty of excuse for quarantining our
cattle when they reach their ports"

A Matter of Education.

'I don't know whether the number and
character of instincts in the human race
have ever been classified" remarked q
man in the lobby but I feel sure they
are very few. Nearly everything, when
you come to its last analysis, is a matter
of education. The very ability and
desire for amusement is a matter Of
training. You have to educate people to
go to the theatres and other pleasure re-
sorts. 1t doesn't come natural to them
to go, but after they try the experiment
once and find it is rather agreeable they
go again.
This fact of educating the people up
to- thing is. realized and reckoned with
by every inventor of new appliance or
medicine or food and is considered as
one of the items, and very important
one, to be estimated in the cost of float
ing the scheme. We have good thing
for the public they say to themselves.
and the public must be educated up to it.
Millions of dollars were spent in eduoat-
ing the public to ride on bicycles instead
of walking on legs. Millions have been
spent to teach them that their livers
cannot long survive without Dr. Hum
buns little pills and it is the same with
amusements. The Birmingham public is
now being educated up to vaudeville and
football and other sports. 1t is really the
old cry of providing markets for goods
and the education of the people who are
the consumers is the way to make the
markets.

SHE is A WONDERFUL INVALID.
ParaIyzed Woman Whose Tongue Does
Duty For Hands.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
One of the most remarkable invalids in
the world Is Miss Tunison, a paralytic
who resides at Sag Harbor, l.. l. She
has been helpless since birth, having
only the head and upper shoulder muscle
under control, and so wonderfully has she
trained them to serve her one remaining
member, the tongue, that it performs with
marvellous quickness and skill the tasks
which feminine fingers alone are wont to
do. At her bidding it traces with a peh-
ell held between the teeth outline sketches
of flowers and trees, it grasps a needle.
threads it and works in and out the fine,
delicate stitches of embroidery finery; 1t
writes letters to her friends, and 1t guides
the mallet which makes music on her
metalaphone. Miss Tunsons tongue Is
a very ruly member, indeed. Never nav
ing had the use of her hands, Miss run
ison has thrown her full dependence upon
the tongue, which. through the loss OF all
other members, is abnormally acute and
gifted.
Miss Tunison is a bright faced woman
of thirty. All day long she sits strapped
In a wheeled chair, especially constructed
for her. A wide board is attached across
the front, something like that of a child $

on it she has her boxes of colored cray

india.

The Rev, Father Younan, who is con-
Quoting the Paulist mission at st. Paurs
church, will deliver a lecture on India
at the Bijou theatre Sunday night, De-
cember 81 Father Younan was born and
educated in Calcutta and spent forty
years of his life in India. He will be ac-
cepted, therefore, as an authority on the
ancient land that has population by the
millions.
Speaking of India and books about
India, a professional man said yesterday;
81 have listened to many missionaries
about China, Japan, India and other
oriental countries and have listened to
them with pleasure and profit. But all
the missionaries who have come this way
have been Americans who acquired their
knowledge of the East in the course of a
few years. How much more then will
be the pleasure and enlightenment when
we hear about the metaphysics, the reli-
gions, the languages, the habits and the
scenery of India by one of the scholarly
natives"

Alabama Citizen soldiery.

Adjutant General Brandon's report
shows that the national guard is but
1902 strong, including four troops of
cavalry and four batteries. The three
regiments OF infantry each number
about 700 men.
Such figures as theses will appear
very Insignificant when the Dick mill
tia bill becomes a law, as it probably
will before the Christmas holidays. 1t
was passed by the house at the long
session, and the senate is now consid-
ering it, The object of the bill is to
enroll the entire militia of the coun-
try, or, in other words, all able-bodied
men between the ages Of 10 and 40.
These are to be divided into three
classes, the first consisting of the
active militia of the states, which the
United States will arm and equip as
it does the regular army. Each state
will reasonably be expected to furnish
its share of the first reserve, and Ala
bama's share will be about 5000 men.
The second reserve, 100000 in num-
Der, will consist of men who have
served a term in the regular or vol
unteer army. The third reserve COM
nrises the balance of the militia of the
country.
The states will continue to have
local control of the national guard,
but the Dick bill will render it avail
able to the national government at
once in case of war without the inter
vention Of the states. 1t places the
national guard on a national footing
in case of war, as the constitution in
tends and directs. The training of it
will be controlled by the war depart
ment, and the government will pay
encampment expenses, and transporta-
ton, and pay the men engaged in
such work. In short, the Dick bill
aims to bring the national guard close
ly up to the regular army in discipline
and organization.
The Dick bill may be measure that
makes for imperialism, but as long as
| the local control of the militia remains
in the states no great harm need be
apprehended. Every state will no doubt
bring its national guard up in num-
bers and quality to the standard
named by the war department, and
this will place in this state a very
considerable body of troops.

TARIFF BILL AGAIN READ.
No More Violent Scenes In the Reich
stag for the Present.

Berlin, December 1.-THE tariff bill
passed it's second reading today on Baron
Won Kardorff's motion, taking the bill
as a whole, without debating it by para
graphs. This motion and the parliament
tary questions growing out of it caused
the violent scenes of the recent weeks.
The motion embraced a number of amend
ments the result of the compromise
agreement between the majority parties
and the government. Yet the bill is not
considered to be in its final shape.
The reichstag does not meet tomorrow,
in order to give the lo-ders of the par
ties an opportunity to raise an objection
to the final form of the bill. The reichs-
tag will meet again on Saturday, and
if in agreement will then proceed Il

CONCERNING "sTUNT.p

From the Boston Journal.
You have read that members of the
faculty at the University OF Chicago OBJ
jeot to the word stunt in publications
Of that institution. The OFFENDING an
nouncement was as follows: THE Wom-
ems Union, 3:SO-5:90 p. m. A Thanksgiving
spread Appropriate stunts by members
of the Women's Union. Only members are
expected to attend
stunt is supposed to be a slang word,
but this point must first be established.
There were photographers a century or
so ago who insisted that bet" was slang,
a low word, yet in that memorable scene
between Shallow and Silence, the JUS
tice said: Dead he drew a good bow;
and dead! he shot a fine shoot; John OF
Gaunt loved him well, and betted much
money on his head" And slang is Ian
guage in the making.
"Stent'' is an allotted portion, hence an
assigned task. There is a word 'stunt"
in provincial English, and it means fierce
or angry or sulky or obstinate; and ito
stunt" a person Is to make fool of him.
But stunt is, to our mind more
heroic form of "stent." He is doing a
stunt" may be justly applied to Mr..
Edouard de Reszke singing the Counts
aria in The Marriage or Figaro; to an
athletic pianist in mortal struggle with
an orchestra; to a politician explaining
the reasonableness of his vote on GER
tain bill. There is the thought of mus
cular action, strained sinews, great drops
of sweat, fearful disaster II the attempt
be not successful. Therefore we do not
like the use of stunt in connection with
young women at a Thanksgiving enter
tainment and we approve the censure of
the faculty at Chicago.
