PAY FOR ROYAL DOCTORS.
Precedents Governing the Rewards to
 King Edwards Physicians.
From tn London Express.

Frcm tn, London Express.
 The medical men who are attending the King are all attached to his majes- tvs household. some in honorary capaci- ties ard others under nominal pay.
 For instance, Sir Thomas Barlow, as physician to the household, IS in receipt of small salary, while Sir Frederick Treves and Sir Thomas Smith, as "hon- orary seargeant surgeons are not in receipt of pay. nor can they, by reason of court usage, send in a bill for serv- ices rendered. The King may and he usually does, send the ''honorables" recompense of some sort, which com pares mere than favorably with honorar- iums received from private persons.
 The surgeons and physicians to the household, such as Sir Francis Waking, Sir Thomas Barlow. Dr. Hewitt MT. AL lingham and MT Fripp, are in receipt of from 92co to e3OO per year, for which they are expected to attend upon all the members of the royal household without further charge. For instance, if a royal scullery maid so far rises above her station as to acquire ''housemaid's 
 skillful medical men in the country. A call from a private patient, worth per haps 92e0, Is neglected for this sum- mons from the royal scullery. If the wife of the master of the household CT the subdean of the chapel royal, or the mas ter of music, or the captain of the yeo- men of tho guard, wish 1t, they may have tho advice of any of these gentlemen without paying for 1t.
 e. Sir Frederick Treves will not be the great surgeons only reward for his suc- cessful conveyance of the King ''out of danger" For his four weeks attena- anee at Sandringham and recovery of the King from typhoid fever in 1S11 Sir William Gull received Gl0000, as well as the dignity of baronet. Twice the amount was paid to Sir Morell Macken- gle for bis treatment of the late Emper- or Frederick. and, ir addition, he was presented win tho Order of the Red Eagle. The doctors who attended Queen Victoria in her last illness re- oeivcd 2O00 guineas each, while Dr. Lap ponis skill in removing a syst from the Popes side a few years ago was recom- peIsed with G5e0 But the record in med ical fees Is held by the ancestor Of the pre- sent lord mayor of London, Dr. Dims dale. who received for his journey to St. Petersburg and vaccination of the Empress Catherine II. e10,0e0 as his fee, e5GOO for travelling expenses, and alsV tho title of baron end life pension or e50G year.
 Sir Frederick Treves has certainly earned a generous reward for his skill. At little more than a moments notice he placed his whole time at the Kings serv- ice, and for at least seven days and nights he never went 70 peG, snatching sleep at Buckingham Palace at odd mo- ments. His daughters wedding occurred during those critical days. and it was only wh, she herself drove to the pal ace and put the csse before her father that he took a hurried half hour to at-

ENDORSEMENT OF GOV. JELks.

From the Eufaula Enterprise.
 Some people are claiming that Jellzs Is not entitled to the endorsement term, be- cause he holds the office by virtue of be- ing president of the senate. He is as much governor as if he had been elected a thousand times. He is governor by the operation of law which the people made through their representatives. Besides the endorsement is given because of clean and satisfactory administrations, and not because of election or succession. Other- wise the State of Alabama is guilty of endorsing fraudulent elections in that. that she endorsed governors whose cleo tions are now conceded to have been the result of fraud.
 No, the endorsement Is given on account of clean, able and efficient service, and when and where you can find a better Jelks? You don't hear him boasting of his wonderful exploits as governor. Wonder if Joe Johnston knows that there is such a word as modesty in the Eng fish language. and that the good book says that The that exalts himself shall be abased."

has come to stay, and we but cite all experience when we say no one will ever again witness a convention in Alabama. No state that has tried the primary plan has gone back to con Yentions and court house meetings, and none ever will. The process of political liberty or evolution leads away from the convention and not to- wards it.
 The initial state primary of Ala bama is hot one, but if it be honest ly conducted 1t will but deepen the desire for more of the same sort. It is an education in itself, and in the course of time it will give the state a better, because more intelligent, cit izenship. The Courier should not lose faith at this early period in the rank and file of the democratic party. The outcome should be awaited confident ly and patiently, for it has become truism in the great republic that the best selections are those made by the people acting directly. Alabama will do nothing to impair this axiom. Her voters will on the other hand add new vigor to it, and above all else they will give all to understand that they will hereafter make their own nomi- nations without the intervention of any middle men whatever.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES.
A Question of Taste.

I would like to know what is consid- cred the correct way for a one-legg6d man to wear his trousers leg" inquired an observing citizen in the lobby last night. T have seen one-legged men on the street with the empty trousers leg worn in all sorts of ways. Some have it folded up in front and held up with a safety pin, some have it folded to the rear and some on the side. Many one legged men have it cut off and tied up with a string around the end of the stump, and some let it dangle loose to be blown as the wind iisSeth
 "Of course, there is obliged to be a correct way and an incorrect way to ar range the empty leg. There Is always good and bae form even in the most in- significant things. l once thought that the man who bought his trousers ready made did not take the trouble to have the useless leg cut off but simply folded it up and went on his way l supposed, also, that the one-legged man who had his trousers made to order would have the useless leg cut off, and thus save ma- terial and reduce the cost of the article l find however, that this is not the case but 5hat the matter is really question of the individual taste of the wearer, and all one-legged men do not think alike on the question of wearing apparel any more than on politics or religion. l am not the editor of a fashion magazine and I will not undertake to say what is the most appropriate way to wear this useless trousers leg, but I intend to write to the answer columns of one Of the big papers and find out"

CHARGES AGAINST EULER.
Used Red Cross Wagons for Ammuni.
 ton Purposes.

London, August 2.-Surgeon General Hamilton, before a meeting of the British Medical Association at Manchester yes- terday definitely charged that Gen. Sir Redvers II. Butler, during the Boer war of 1881 "usued army medical wagons with the red cross thereon for taking ammuni- ton to the front and armed the bearer companies, using them as escorts"
 The surgeon general declared his au- thority for the statement was the prin- cipal medical officer to whom the orders were issued and he added that the British could not complain at the Boers doing what General Butler had done twenty years previously.

Grave Digeers Strike.

Chicago, August 2.-Grave diggers at Concordia cemetery are on strike. At the entrance to the burial grounds the superintendent has posted a notice which reads: There will be no more burials at the Concordia cemetery until further mo- tice." The grave diggers struck for high CT wages and have succeeded in prevent ing other laborers from taking their places. Three funeral processions which arrived at the cemetery gates yesterday were turned back because of the strike. It is stated that similar strikes will be inaugurated at two other cemeteries.

Davif managed to stab Arnold to the hear and then came to Brenham where h gave himself up. He will probably di from his wounds.

1Z0S There is something material ly wrong in the enforcement of the law in Birmingham against carrying con cealed weapons.
 I heard the opinion expressed the other day by a citizen of Birmingham that fully 40 per cent of the men of this town go armed. He added that when he was out at nights he carried a pistol himseir because he lived some distance from the center of the city. and felt the necessity of being armed. He admitted, however, that he was ashamed of it. and that he proposed to stop carrying a pistol at any time.
 I think his statement that 40 per cent of the male inhabitants of Birmingham go armed is an exaggeration, but it is a known fact that hundreds or men 30 about the streets of Birmingham at all hours of the day and night carrying pis- tols in their pocket. But for this fact the frequent murders and shooting scrapes which are ehronicled in Birmingham, would not occur.
 As matter of fact. the law against concealed weapons should be strictly en- forced. If any man felt the necessity of going armed. he should be required to get a special license and pay a certain sum to the city and county Tor the same Then both the sheriff and his deputies and the police force of Birmingham

Why the coaI Rarons Lose.

"T have been amased at the ingenuity of the headline writer on one of our Bir- mingham papers," remarked an old newspaper man last night. For the past thirty years I have noticed the ac- counts of the baseball games, and while the coal barons, as they are called, lose right along so that any one betting on them to lose would almost be betting on certainty, this headline writer has been able to describe the loss of the game in a different way each day. There is always some reason why the coal barons lose-I mean according to this writer. Of course the real reason why they lose is because they failed to score or because tlfe other side made more runs, or because the coal barons couldn't hit the ball-there Is always some valid excuse according to him why the noble and aforesaid coal barons continue to lose"
 Ut reminds me-" he continued, "of the society editor on one of our papers who can write up the account or reception and call every woman present the most beautiful, in as many different ways ee there were women present. It is quite an art to do this. Every woman walSs to be called the most beautiful and to be able to do this in an original way for each requires a peculiar ability. For my self although I am an old newspaper writer, l frankly admit l would fall down if I attempted such a thing. would simply say, IF it became necessary, that the following twenty-five women were each the most beautiful ever. etc."

THE ANNUAL.

From the Edwardsville Standard-News
 The anniversary edition of the Bir- mingham Age-Herald which came to us Sunday, was not only a credit to that enterprising paper but was an inesti- mable advertisement for the great Bir- mingham district. Birmingham is great town and the Age-Herald is great paper-neither could get along without the other and we could not get along without the Age-Herald.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-08-03
From the Russellville Times.

The Age-Herald's anniversary edition was one of which any paper might be proud. Discarding the blanket sheet. gaudy colored arrangements so much in vogue latterly, the Age-Herald gives the write-ups, facts and figures of Bir- mingham and its suburbs in a neat con- else shape that is attractive and will be valuable as a reference.
