srecIaI Envoy to snaln.

The Associated Press. in announcing the appointment of pr. J. l.. M. Curry of Washington, D. C.. as special envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenipotentary to represent the President of tho United States on the coming of age of the King of Spain, is in error in stating that the eminent statesman and scholar was born in Virginia" said an old Confederate yes- terday.
 "The Age-Herald has published two or three sketches of Dr. Curry recently. and each of them had the place of his birth right. The doctor Is a native of Georgia. He was born In Lincoln County in 1925, but at the age of 13 removed to Talla- dega County. Ala. and was an Alabamian by adoption from that time until 1868, when he removed to Richmond. When he was appointed minister to Spain in 1885, by President Cleveland he was credited to Virginia.
 "He has figured brilliantly in the politics and in the educational work of Alabama and Virginia. but his greatest achiev- ments were in this state. He represented Alabama both in the United States Con- gross and the Confederate Congress. but 1t should be needless to remark not at the same time."

HE DID NOT COME.

From the Uniontown Herald.
 We received an invitation to attend the opening of banking concern up in Bir- mingham. We didn't go-don't suppose we were expected. We sized it up as a scheme to get some free advertising. Now why do they want an editor at a bank ing house if they do not want some ad- vcrtising out of him? What use is he about bank, and where would he stand? He has nothing to deposit, but will bor- row the assets of the bank. If they don't require collateral. If they require the col lateral he is as bad off as if he was on a barren island
 An editor can count money when it comes in 50-cent pieces, or one dollar bills. hut when 1t is in five and ten dollar bills and larger denominations, he could not count it at all. He wouldn't know how to go about counting big bills, for he don't know what they are. He thinks a two- dollar bill ought to be twice as big as a one-dollar bill. while he believes that a ten dollar bill should be the size of a seven-coiumn page. Some editors have heard that there are bills for twenty dol- lars but very few believe that there is as much money as that on single piece of paper.
 In short we don't know what an editor eaa,id da at a hank enAnine that wn,sld be

Let Achilles sleep;
Yellow Pine Last Year.

The Southern Lumber Manufactur- CTS Association held its annual meet ing this week in Memphis. This asso- ciation represents but 40 per cent of the yellow pine manufacturers of the country, but as it includes nearly all of the larger mills its action and statistics are interesting. It endeav- ors to establish uniform grading rules. and it names prices, but binds no one, not even its own members, to an acceptance of it's prices.
 All feel that the available lumber land in the South Is yearly decreas- ing. and that prices will naturally be advanced in a corresponding degree. An advance of 10 per cent is believed to be at hand partly on this account and partly on account of the activity in construction of all sorts. In ten years stumpage in this section has risen four-fold, and all think 1t is to go higher.
 The time is fast coming when vel low pine will be held in as high esteem as white pins. For many pur. poses it is as good, and for some pur- poses it is better. The best judges say yellow pine is steadily and surely gaining ground throughout the coun- try, and that 1t will everywhere after a while be considered as an accept able substitute for white pine, which is nearing exhaustion.
 One hundred and sixty mills report to the Southern Lumber Assocation, and these mills cut in 1901 nearly 7 20O0 million feet, or about 200 million feet more than they cut in 1900. The shipments were larger than the out put, thus reducing the stock in hand at the end of the year fully 100 mil lion feet as compared with the stock on hand one year before.

A FAITH COLLAPSE.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 It may be that by faith men have nov ed mountains, but there are instances where absolute reliance upon it's miracul- ous power, without words or material assistance of any kind, has proved dis astrous. One such instance, and most conspicuous one, occurred recently at the Town of Verona in the Province of Onta- rio. A religious sect which has faith for its basis was holding a peculiarly enthu- siastic service during which one of the brothers, wrought up to a high pitch. de- clared that he could fly by faith. There upon he sprang suddenly up into the air, working his arms and legs, and as sud- denly came down again, in his clumsy descent knocking an oil lamp off the table It exploded. scattering burning oil upon the clothes of men and women, eight of whom were seriously burned. The building also took fire panic ensued and in the wild rush the brother who had caused all the trouble led the way and was the first to reach a place of safety. He has probably come to a conclusion that faith without wings Is dangerous in aerial navigation. There Is 0 lesson in the brothers sudden come down for those who rely upon the miracles of faith too literally

sources demands adequate improve ment of our waterways. and an ex- tension of the continuing contract system.
 One member of the committee ex- plained at length the needs of the farmer and producer. It is he who pays good part of the tariff and war taxes, and some of the surplus taxes paid by him should be expended where it will do him the most good Every dollar spent upon wisely devised river and harbor improve ments is disbursed for home labor and for home products. The failure of the last rivers and harbors bill has set back by a full year the full year the benefit of cheapened transporta- ton. A bill covering that year also is needed, and an aggregate of S60,- 100000 is needful because of the year that was Carterized
 Every river that Is opened to navi- gation and every harbor that is inn proved is an invitation to extend the foreign trade of the country, so that while such works benefit the farmer and producer they benefit all because they operate to increase our exports, and prosperity in this country is based on exports.
 An expenditure of s3O.000 900 year on the countrys rivers and harbors is a good investment in every respect. for the money is more effectually re- turned than is the case with any other large disbursement of the gov ernment It is now believed that the forthcoming rivers and harbors bill will be a liberal one, and that inn provements of known merit will be handsomely treated. No work in the charge of the government exceeds in merit and importance the opening of the Warrior.

THE cHAPLAIN's PRAYER.

From the New York Evening Journal. man, recently included in his opening prayer the newspaper men in the Senate gallery.
 All newspaper men undoubtedly appre ciate the kindly feeling which prompted the good Chaplain--but 1t is necessary to correct one slight error.
 The reverend gentlemen said
 '.I.et the benediction of thy grace abide with all engaged in the service of the Senate, from the youngest page, through all the ranks, Up to the body of able and accomplished men who report the doings of the Senate
 The newspaper in the Senate gallery are the contrary, they are in the service of the people and very important service it is.
 Some very queer things are done in the Senate and those reporters are there to watch them and tell the people about them.
 The newspaper man no matter where He may pc, II ne uOeS HIS uuIy, IS m tnS employ of the puhlio-and in the Senate especially, his Interests are often very different from those of tho men with whom he comes in contact
 We would suggest reverently to the Rev. Dr. w. I'll. N1ilburn that he might properly pray for the reporters as fol- lows:
 May they have keenness to detect be- trayals of trust by the representatives of the people, courage to withstand the wheedlings of rich and able men, and eloquence to impress upon the public at large the importance of . representative Senate elected ty the people and compell- ed to obey the peoples will"

sam's regular soldiers in sight" said a stangers do. the small number of Uncle German-American at the Metropolitan last night.
 Foreigners are used to great military parades on occasions of state. Germany wits It's immense standing army, has thousands of troops garrisoned in or near every city of the empire and when ever royalty requires an escort each arm of the service is on hand with full ranks.
 "The United States army numbers at this time Jess than 90,o00 men. The great CT part of our soldiers are in the Philip pines, while those in the United States are widely distributed. There are not more than 1900 regular troops for parade in New York and not more than seven or eight hundred at the capital. By drawing on Fortress Monroe, Va, and a small fort or two in Maryland. General Miles can assemble about 1000 men in Washing ton to escort Prince Henry. But the absence of anything like military re- view should open the princes eyes to the fact that a strong free country such as this getJ along without vast standing army. It will be an object lesson that will certainly interest his hishness, even if he cannot see his way clear to recommend to the Emperor small army policy for Germany

Elevators and Elevator Boys.

EtSNdIOFS dnu EiSSatSs "
 .'The elevator is necessity in tall buildings and good elevator service is a luxury, but in Birmingham we have no elevator service that will begin to compare with that found in Atlanta and the Cues of the North and East" said a railroad official yesterday.
 "The Woodward building now being erected will, as matter of course be up to date in it's elevator service. Fast eleva- tors may strain the nervous system but in this busy, high pressure age they are demanded. One elevator is not sufficient for q large building. Sky scrapers usually have three or four One or two of these run on limited schedules, stopping only at the higher floors while the others do a general way business.
 Next in importance to the elevator It. self is the man or boy who manipulates it. There are a few first class elevator boys here but if owners or agents of bull --ngs would give this matter attention there is no reason why efficiency should not be the rule instead of the exception. The trouble with many of the boys who run elevators is they are entirely too talkative. They should be not only alert and quick but they should be at all times civil and decorous and never a bit mouthy."

 According to the newspaper cuts, General Wilson is a. handsome man, but no matter how elegant and be- coming a beaver may be when worn on the street. this style of head-gear never looks anything but rakish in a photo graph, or other presentment. As the King Is a parsonage of taste in dress. it is hoped that the doughty general will not let him see one of his plug photos'

The sittinq Hen.

"I once lost bet because l was foolish enough 0 make 1t against grammatical au- thority.' said a college bred man.
 "A friend spoke of a sitting hen. l asked him why he did not say setting heni and his reply was there was no author ity for the use of the transtive form in describing a hen matching eggs.
 Grammer be hanged, said l, Com mon usage has made set the right verb. Then my friend offered to wager five dollar hat that no college president would decide in my favor. l took him up. We agreed to refer the question to the head of certain Southern institution of hign reputation. The query was sent through the mail and the educator an- swered promptly, giving decisien against me. This person of letters wrote that while most people followed the colloquail usuage they were absolutely wrong; that sit and not set must al- ways be the correct verb for the hen.
 This decision was made many years ago. The dictionaries are still sticking to the sitting hen. Webster's Universal dictionary. published in 1900. is the first I believe. to refer to the common usage. Its seventh definition of the verb sit is to brood; to ineubate and the King James translation cf Jeremiah xvii. Il, is quoted as authority-The partridge sit- tith on her cggs and hatcheth them not But under the transitiye set is this note: The use of the verb set for sit in such expressions as the hen is setting on thirteen eggs; setting hen, etc, al- thought colloquially common, and some times tolerated in serious writing, is not to be approved
 Grammar is evolved from common speech and 1t will be a safe guess that grammarians will come round to tine set ting hen before this decade passes. Per- haps some of the schools are already in line. In the mean time it might be inter esting to learn what the Secretary of Az riculture thinks on the subject. He is an educated farmer and his official position, which has to dc with chickens and eggs, should entitle his opinion to weight"

Mark Hanna And Senator Moruan,

After fifty years of discussion and delay, when Senator Morgan attempt cd to have the Hepburn bill reported from the Senate committee on inter- oceanic canals, with a view of secur- ing its early passage, his effort was opposed at once by Senator Hanna. Senator Morgan is chairman of the committee, and Senator Hanna is a member of it.
 Senator Hanna threatened to op- pose the Hepburn bill in the Senate unless time was granted in which to consider the Panama Company's latest offer. The committee decided to wait and ascertain whether a SUD- plemental report from the Walker Commission would bc forthcoming based on the offer of the Panama canal at s4O,OOO,OOo.
 The long and short of the matter is Senator Mark Hanna is to lead the fight for delay, using the offer of the French Company as an excuse and blind. Mir. Hanna is standing by his old campaign subscribers, the inter- oceanic railroads. He proposes, it is plain, to procure as much delay as he can in the committee room, and then to talk the bill to death in the Sen ate.
 The organs of the railroad combine are begipning their periodic assaults upon Senator Morgan. When he urges the passage of canal construc- tion hsll, after fifty years of delay, they sas he exhibits bad manners" and they express sympathy for NJ. Lampre, the successor of NJ. Hutin, who furnished the present blind of the railroad combine. No matter whose voice, it is the hand of the railroads. and Mark Hanna is their champion in the Senate, and he will undoubtedly fight the Hepburn bill or any other bill that proposes to build canal at any immediate time. All he wants is delay of the same old eorf

An Appropriate Memorial.

| "Yesterday afternoon, in company with
 another 'olu timer, I stood at the center
 door of the Hil.man Hotel and gazed in
 silent admiration at the magnificent arch
 itectural details of our new city hall,"
 said a liberal he tarted man who has been
 prominent in the affairs of this communi-
 ty for many yetrs.
 My mind was bent on finding defects and seeking points of improvement and
 as my eye wandered from point to point, which defied criticism, my thoughts car
 ried me back to a little two-story build ing on Second avenue. about one hun
 dred feet from Nineteenth street, with it's rudely p,astered walls and two or
 three inches of saw-dust on its floor,
 with an old drygoods box for the Mayors desk, in front of which my mind natural ly halted at the image of an old gray
 headed man, with the fire of youth in
 his eyes and the sturdiness of a Spartan
 of old in his heart. My fancy impelled me forward, and one year later I came face
 to face with the same old hero standing at the bedside of many a cholera patient, bathing his fevered brow and cheering the sufferer with words of hope. And
 later still. when the angel, death, had
 satisfied himself, l found this same old Samaritan aiding the living, who had escaped, who were financially unable to help themselves. A thought suggested itself to me then and there which, if car
 ried out by the Mayor and Board of AL
 dermen would not only reflect great cred it on them as city officers, but also stamp them as citizens who honor the
 man that made it possible for Birming- | ham to be today the wonder of the | world.
 With me there is an element of senti-
 ment mixed up in the idea, as we'll as an
 earnest desire to perpetuate the memeory of man whose whole soul was wrapped up in this city, the child of his creation.
 The man to whom I refer is the late Col. 1 James R. Powell, the first elected Mayor l of Birmingham, and better known 1 throughout the country as the Duke of l Birnin gham, and the thought referred to
 is the erection of bust or statue to his ! memory over the main entrance of the city hal. Colonel Powell by his keen judgment and indomitable will made Bir- mingham known far and wide before she was one year old. He spent his entire for tune here and beggared himself In his efforts to bring 1t to the front. The most appropriate point to place the bust or
 statue would be immediately over the
 front entrance. on top of the half cir
 cular finial. If the city authorities feel
 that the condition of the city treasury
 will not warrant the appropriation of d
 sum sufficient to erect this fitting trib- ute to her founder. I further suggest that
 the Age-Herald call for popular sub
 scription, and I will start the ball with s25 hope the matter will be taken up at
 once. Citizens should be eager to perpet- uate the memories of the men who fought epidemics, panics and every known evil that threatened Birmingham in her early infancy"

SENATOR STEWART.

Washington Cor. in Chicago Tribune.
 Senator Stewart of Nevada is no longer called Santa Cleus. He has a new nick name and is known as the "Mills' Stew art. This is owing to the fact that the Senator owns big dairy farm in Vir- ginia and has placed a large advertise ment in all the local papers offering to supply the Washington public with clean milk from clean cows, in clean cans distributed by clean men for clean prices.

NEXT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE

From the Boston Herald.
 cratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States is chiefly confined to German and Hill thus far It is rather ominous that MT Bryan and his friends object to Hill, and are not particularly enthusiastic toward German. The mis- fortune of both men is that they are not representative of either principle or popu- lar feeling. but come forward exclusively q politicians candidates They belong mated for President in either party. and this chiefly because they have been too long before .he public as politicians can didates for the office. As Presidential campaigns are engaged in. they have be- come too familiar as stock candidates, end the worst action that can be taken in their interest is to get them talked about long before the election campaign Is on When the time for this does ar rive. it Is altoge ther probable that diff feront kird of Democrat will carry off the prize of the nomination, for the party will see that this Is the only kind of Dem ocrat that can have hopes of an election Perhaps Hill ard German will do well enough to talk about and to serve in the Interim es @ screen for the real purposes If the party.
