QUESTION OF FEES FOR FINAL RECORDS
 IN CRIMINAL CASES HAS BEEN SETTLED

..The caption of an indictment is an es- sential and inherent part of 1t. It is that entry of record showing when and where the court was held. whoa presided as Judge, the venire for the grand jury and who were summoned and sworn as grand jurors. Code 1893. Goodloe vs. The State. 60 Alabama g.. and cases there cited.
 Being thus a part of each indictment the entry should. in our opinion, be cop jed along with the charging part of the indictment into the final record. Sub section of Section 9A of the code makes it the duty of the clerks of the Circuit and City Courts to record in well bound books within six months after the final determination of any suit or prosecution, all the proceedings relating thereto not previously recorded under Section 2644 ex- cept the subpoenas. affidavits for contin- uances, commissions to take testimony evidence and executions Section 2644 here referred to. Is limited by express terms to civil causes and has no bearing on this case. Section PAP of the code is however. not so limited and 1t applies to both civil and criminal cases It is as follows: Double records dispensed with. The orders, judgments and decrees en- tered upon the minutes of the court are parts of the record of the cause in which they pertain and need not be copied into the final record. If so copied no fee shall be charged therefor"
 The order setting a day for the trial of a capital case. the Judgment on verdict therein and the sentence pronounced On the judgment are clearly within the pro- visions of this section. They are each and all necessarily entered upon the min utes> of the court and neither of them has any place in the final record re- quired by subsection 9 of section 934 for making which the act of. February, 1897. pr ovides compensation to the clerks in the State, So far as that act was in- tended to provide compensation for en- tries of judgments on the minutes of the court, the intent is conserved by other provisions than that in relation to com pensation for making final record. Acts 1896, 1897. page 1532.
 Ut follows that in our opinion the city Court erred in awarding writ of mandamus to compel the President of the Board of Convict Inspectors to re- quest the Auditor to pay the Clerk of that court for making final record of order setting a day for the trial of the convict Scott and of the judgment of conviction and sentence thereon in his case. The judgment of the City Court will be re- versed and a judgment will be entered dismissing the petition for mandamus. Reversed and rendered.

HE TRUSTED RHODES
Alfred Belt Always Followed the
Englishman's leadership.
Now lie Is the biggest Man in the So
CSiied "hULir Group and One
of yhc I,ichcst SIen in
Use World.

Now that Cecil Rhodes is gone the
attention of those political students
and spectators who are following the
course OF affairs in South Africa is
naturally directed to the man upon
whom will devolve the burden of car
rying out many of the enterprises left
unfinished by the dead dictator. For
Alfred Belt, the physically insignili-
cant son of a Hamburg jew, the secre-
tive capitalist of BiShopgate street,
the mining king of Kimberley and the
Rand, is the central figure III the syn
di'ate in whose hands now rests the
management of the Rhodes interests.
Some men say that Aired Belt is the
richest man in the world, but that is
probably an eNaggeration, although If
the South African war results in an
early settlement advantageous to the
British he will resume his money maxi
ing upon a.scale which will probably
double and even treble. within few
years his present cuuservatively eSti-
mated fortune Of $l@0.G00,00O.
1t is n coincidence worth noting that
Belt was born in the same year as
Cecil Rhodes. He was well educated,
for his father WAS a man of means. if
not of refinement, who understood that
the education denied to himself might
be of ines timable value to his son.
When young Alfred left school Belt

PRESENT VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
Regions of the Western Hemisphere
That Are the Most Liable to
an UphelvaI.

The active volcanic groups of the
western hemisphere occur in five
widely separated regions, says Prof.
Robert Il. Hill, in Century.
/. The Andean group of volcanoes
of the equatorial region of western
South America.
2. The chain of some 25 great Gin
der cones which stretch east and
west across the south end of the
Mexican plateau.
3. The Central American group,
with its 81 active craters, extending
diagonally across the western ends
of the east and west folds of the Car
ibbean corrugations, fringing the Pa
cific side of Guatemala, San Salvador
and Costa Rica. This is separated
from the Mexican group on the north
by large nonvolcanic area, the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec, and on the
south from the Andean volcanoes by
the isthmus of Panama, where no ac-
tive volcanoes are found.
4. The chain of volcanoes of the
Windward islands, marking the east
ern gate of the Caribbean sea, stand
ing in line directly across the east
ern termini of the Caribbean noun
tains, trending east and west, and
parallel to the Central American
group similarly situated at their
western termini.
