Admiral SchIex in Command

The entire case of Admiral Schley Is in the hands of the President, and his decision will be final so far as tho executive department of the gov ernment is concerned. The appeal of Admiral Schley asks the President as the chief executive and commander fn-chief of the army and navy to re- view the findings of the court of in- quiry.
 This is asked on three grounds, which may be briefly stated. Admiral Scnley was in sole command at the naval battle of Santiago. Admiral Sampson did not arrive until one hour and thirteen minutes after the last of the Spanish ships had hauled down her flag. The plan of the battle was Admiral Schley's, as the Sampson plan was worthless after the battle had been begun. The petitioner asks the President to annul Secretary Longs endorsement of the courts findings, and that he specifically approve Ad- miral Dewey's statement declaring that Schley was in command, and is therefore entitled to the credit of the victory, thus doing him plain and simple justice under the preeept.
 There are minor issues, but the chief one is this, "Who was in com mand during the battle that ended the war, and that will be told in history countless ages hence?' This is the real and substantial question submit ted to the President, and he will have to change his nature if he evades it. His frankness and courage are pro verbal, and it is hoped that he will bring them to bear in answering the question that the appeal of Admiral Schley has brought before him.

Great Artist Comlnu.

Birmingham has the reputation of be. ing musical city high above the aver age and music lovers should see to it that this reputation is maintained" re. marked member of the Choral Society yesterday.
 "Richard Burtneister, the piano virtuo- so, will give a recital at the Jefferson Theatre under the auspicies of the Choral Society on the night of February Il. He is a famous artist and is drawing larger houses in the East this season than any other performer on the concert stage.
 Tt is hoped that cultured society will not make the mistake when he comes that 1t made when Emma Eevada was here few weeks ago. Madame Nevada and her company gave a delightful con- cert, one of the best in many years, and yet the audience was very small. When they heard what they had missed many music lovers expressed regrets that they did not go to hear the charming prima donna. Burmeister should play to a packed house."

Keeping Fresh Eggs Fresh.

Cold storage eggs have good commer- cial value and when they are not too long out of storage they taste all right, but nothing in the egg line, it should be need- less to say, comes up to the fresh egg said a man who has eggs for breakfast the year round.
 Tt may be of general interest to know that eggs can be kept fresh. A high scientific authority says if they are greased the moment they are laid and be fore they have cooled they will not be- come stale flat or unproftable This procedure, according to the authority to which I refer, is so successful that eggs thus treated are as fresh to the taste when months old as they would be if eat en an hour after being laid"
 "It is also suggested to immerse eggs in a strong solution of silicate of lime. In this case the preservative effect is probably due to the formation of a hard. glassy sllicate of lime within the sub stance of the shell, making a perfectly air-tight envelope of glass. It is we'll known further that silicate of lime or water glass possesses a powerful anti septic action. This whole question of preserving eggs is of the utmost im- portance to producers. and the method described will some day be adopted on a large commercial scale"

The City of the Future.


 Said large-minded citizen last night: This country is young yet and it is reasonable to suppose that many new cities will be staked off in the south and west within the next fifty years. The founders of coming cities should profit by experience and start out with area suf- fcient to accommodate spreading popu- lation. They should look hundred years ahead and not fix boundries as has been the rule hitherto to stand for only twenty or twenty-five years
 "I speak of course of cities establish ed, or to be established in sections with great natural resources. Take a city 1 like Birmingham. It might have been feasible for it to have included all the country in Jones Valley from East Lake to Ensley in it's original boundary. But if that had been too much of an under taking some provision might have been made for a system of streets and sewer age, extending through the suburbs as part of the city system. This sort of provision was made by Chicago many years ago. if not at the beginning. visit ed Chicago twenty-five years ago and ob- served then that the streets in Hyde Park and other incorporated towns were numbered as though they had been in tegral part of Chicago. A few years later when Chicago extended it's limits the newly acquired territory conformed in every respect to the engineering schelae of the great city. Where suburban towns are permitted to grow up independently, they have engineering plans of their own and when they are annexed to the city as they always are soon or later, the en- gineer has much reconstruction work to do, especially in the sanitary depart ment. Chicago having done the right thing, Greater Chicago came into being without the patched up or ragged ap- pearance in It's outlying sections that characterize most of the extended cities.
 With regard to Greater Birmingham, there may be kicking but the extension of the boundary lines to include the towns within a distance of six or seven miles is inevitable. If the consolidation is not effected in this decade it certainly will be in the next. But there should be no unnecessary delay about it. Our su- burban friends should take a large view of the question and act accordingly. The census enumartors in 1901 should find Birmingham with population of 175. | 000."

All Field Officers Relieved.

Opinions differ widely as to the jus tice and wisdom of Governor Jelks' action upon the verdict of the general courtmartial, but there will be no diff ference of opinion as to one point all are heartily tired and weary of the squabbling in the Third Regiment. It was begun in Florida in the days Of the war with Spain. The officers of the old First Regiment had little else to do but to scheme and intrigue and form cabals, and they proceeded to do all these things ad nauseam, and the more recent quarrels grew out of the old efforts to drive Colonel HigGon out of the command of the regiment. He held the headship of the regiment, however, to the end of the war with Spain, and he was subsequently elect ed colonel of the Third Regiment, and he held the colonelcy until he was relieved from present duty by an order issued by Governor Jelks as commander-in-chief. Lieutenant Colo nel Kyle is likewise relieved, and the other field and staff officers of the regiment
 If this order means that a new cleo uon of officers is to be held well and good The people desire in some way to be relieved of the quarrels which have come from the regiment in the last three years. They are expensive and annoying, and if Governor Jelks knows how they can hereafter be avoided he will confer a favor upon the people if he will pursue and apply 1t. The general public does not pro- pose to take an interest in the sub- ject-that is plain. All that is wanted is complete abeyance of the entire matter.

SEES CONTINUED PROSPERITY.

New York Letter in the Chicago Record Herald.
 J. Pierpont Morgan has put himself on | record as a firm believer in continuance of the tide of prosperity which has been declared by Wall street men to be upon the point of turning from flood to ebb. When asked if he thought the turn had >been reached the great banker and founder of trusts said:
 Such a question scarcely needs an answer, for the facts speak for them- selves. The phenomenal prosperity of the country is so self-evident that you have the answer to your very hand.
 More, not only is the prosperity here, but all the signs all the promises, all the indications are that 1t Is here for a long time to come. I have absolute faith in the future.

ARIzoNA's NEW COFFEE.
Utilization of the Mesquite Bean as a
 Food Product.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star
 The utilization of the mesquite bean as | substitute for coffee and as a food product is the plan of a company which is organizing in Arizona. The head of the project claims that after exhaustive tests covering a period of two years he has discovered a method of treating the mes- quite bean which gives 1t flavor closely resembling that of coffee, and that an- other process makes the bean an excel lent substitute for corn meal. As bev- craze 1t has. he declares the stimulating effect of coffee. while it lacks some of the deleterious effects.
 If claims can be proved, many millions of revenue. The mesquite is essentially a desert growth and flourishes where all else, save the cactus perishes from want of water. It is to be found in near ly all the unirrigated lands of New Mex leo, southern California and old Mexico but is particularly common in Arizona. As a rule the mesquite shrub attains a growth of from 10 to 15 feet, but some times developes into a tree of large size,
 
 tree. Its leaves are fernlike and it's limbs are covered with thorns, with a wood which Is worthless for all else ex- oept fuel, in which latter capacity it is the principal source in this country. It's beans grow in long pods, and while 1t has long been known that cattle and horses would browse on them when other food was scarce and some of the Indian tribes used them as food it has never until re- gently been believed that they would ever become of marketable valre.
 E The Pima, Maricopa and Papago h. dians dry the beans and grind them into flour. and indeed the mesquite bean has been all that has stood between the In. dians and a condition of absolute starya- ton when the drouth destroyed the crops of the redmen.
 It was two years ago when the investi- gator first visited the Pima reservation in the Gila valley that he conceived the idea of using the mesquite bean. The white settlers above the reservation had diverted the rivers flow on their own lands and left none for the Indians. As a consequence the Indians suffered great iy. Their grain fields were totally de- stroyed through lack of irrigation and their cattle died by thousands from hun ger and thirst The Indians themselves subsisted for many months upon an al- most exclusive diet of mesquite flour and thrived upon it apparently as well as upon grain food.

e Philadelphia Press:
TR SOUTHERN STATES

It is the small vote in States like Mississippi and Louisiana that afford oasis for Crumpacker efforts to cut down Southern representation. Can Alabama afford to give Crumpacker another lift in the coveted direction of light voting? Whoever refuses or neglects today to pay his poll tax in- vites loss of political power to the State of Alabama.
 In --labama there is a male popula- tion of voting age of 413,862, of which | 232,924 are whites and 1el, AT are ne. groes. If the number of white male voters is cut below 100000 by the refusal to pay poll taxes, it will be claimed in Congress that our repre- sentation should be cut down corre- spondingly, and tables like the one copied from the Philadelphia Press will be printed.
 The people of the Southern States are apathetic in the matter of voting. They do not like to pay poll taxes. They do not desire to vote because there is put one party among the whites, anu there is no danger of de- feat. Heretofore voting has been to a great extent farce, but this will not be so hereafter Votes as cast will hereafter be counted, and the people of this city and county and State cannot afford to disfran- chise themselves by refusing to pay a poll tax for the benefit of the public schools. Such a refusal invites end less trouble to this section, and no citizens can afford to do that, and no good citizen will do it.
