yesterday by MT. A. M. Lynn that the officials here of the water company had not seen the report and that they were not in a position to say what 1t con- tained
 FOLLOWS GRAY REPORT.
 The action of the company in having an analysis of the water made by two experts is the outcome of a report made by Special Sanitary Engineer Samuel l.. Gray, who was employed by the Jefferson County Sanitary Commission to investi- gate the water supply of Birmingham. MT. Gray reported that the water should be filtered before drinking. He came to Birmingham from Providence and made a thorough examination of the water sheds which supply the drinking water for Birmingham, and had the water an- alyzed by the government experts at Washington.
 Following this report of Mir. Gray, the city council passed resolution, introduc- ed by Alderman Gray, that the Birming- ham Water Works Company be given thirty days notice within which to begin work on a filtration plant, and if work was not commenced within that time that the city attorney be instructed to take whatever steps were necessary to annul the existing contract between the water company and the city. which call ed for supply of pure water.
 The water works officials. In response to this resolution. brought to Birming- ham the two sanitary experts, who also made a thorough examination of the wa ter supply and have had many samples of the water sent them for analysis. Great care has been taken with these samples to see that the bottles in which they were forwarded were thoroughly antiseptic Each bottle was steriljzed be- fore the water was put into 1t and shipped to New York. These experts spent some time going over the ground, and the water company, at their request, was granted an extension of time in which to make a reply to the demands of the city. Today the time limit expires, and the report and answer of the water company will reach here tonight, and President Purdy will present 1t at the Council meeting tomorrow night. A great deal of interest exists as to the report and what answer the water works peo- pie will make.
 President Purdy when here before stated that whatever Is necessary to be done to furnish the city with pure sup ply of water will be done. BOIL THE LATER.
 Dr. p. H. Sholl. chairman of the Board of Health yesterday issued notice to the public advising that they boil their drinking water. He explains that this Is dore as a precautionary measure against typhoid fever, which makes its appear ance about this time of the year.
 Following is the notice as issued by pr. Sholl:
 Parties drinking hydrant or well water are advised to boil it before drinking, or to use distilled water or some light min eral water. "E. II. SHOLL, M. D., Chairman Committee of Health. Jeffer-
 son County"
 pr. sholl, when asked as to the reason of his notice, said:
 "The object of the notice is simply to guard against attacks of typhoid fever, which is now appearing In the city. It is advisory to put the people on their guard. ard I make 1t officially for this pur- pose"
 Officials of the water company, when shown the foregoing notice. had no com ment to make.

The Panama Canal.
Many Advantages Over
the Nicaraguan Route.

1t is gratifying to fiud some newspapers,
refusing to be swept of their feet or COM
mitted thoughtlessly to the Nicaraguan
Canal, as so many journals seem to hsse
been. And these paper are courageous ss
well in not being afraid to state plainly
the advantages that the Panama enjoys
over the Nicaraguau route across the 18TH
dvautages diseernible to any person
willing to investigate.
A interview with a Washington, diplo-
mat published a by New York paper of the
Oath instant contained one most cogent
statement, that regarding the time required
for vessel to make the transit of the Mica
raguan Canal, shtuld it be built. Ii has
been widely heraldeG that ship could 90
through in thirty three hours, the inference
being that this would be consecutive time,
as in the Suea Canal since the Adoption by
ships of powerful electric searchlights. This
will be impossible, however, for, with the
scores OF sharp curves and numerous locks,
no owner would trust large ship TO the
perils Of night navigation. The time OF
transit, then, must absorb the natural light
of three whole days. Excessive insurance
for this period, ss the Washington diplo-
matist states, would deter most mercantile
vessels from using this waterway.
X Calling fer tut eleven hours, ship might
90 from tctau to ocean by the Panama Ga
nal duling one days light.
The dp'omatic informant, when lie says
be cannot understand why the French, who
have abundance of money for inyes me MT,
did cot fiDsb the Panama course, otviously
has not considered the undesirable pnsition
private corporation would occupy in com
petition with Government owned canal.
One has not to be very astute to foresee
that it would be stupid political parry
thai omitted to sgitate the ques ion Of the
nstional benefit that would come from a
Stree canal" 1t is reasonable to assume
that each of the rival parties would promptly
include q free canal" plank in its cam
paign platform, resulting in few years 10
canal as open TO navigation as are rivers
and hsrbors Toll-roads have passed, and
toll bridges are 0tsolescent.
The moment our Government begins op-
erations at Nicaragua owners of the Pan :
anna scheme will have total loss on their

hards. Regarded solely as an investment.
q canal by either rOrte could hardly be ex.
pected to be prof able.
Possessing indisputable advantages as
the Panama project does, could it be other
than gracious OF our authorities at Wash
lngton to give heed to the position Of the
shareholders In the French company? How
ever unwiseiy their past negotiations may
nave been conducted, would it be undg-
niiied OF US TO offer at this time reason
liable sum for their privileges and eyptn
dltures on the Panama islhmus? We know
that millions have been wasted, hut the fact
remains that considerable portion of the
canal is dug. Their concession is of the
greatest value, surely. Why not say firmly
to the French company that We will give a
definite sum, thirty millions, forty millions,
or forty five millions at the outside, for its
enterprise, making it clear that the offer
will not be repeated or increased? There is
no need for adopting the methods of tour
lists bargaining for c carpet in an Oriental
bazafr.
l believo a reasonable offer would be
Immediately accepted. II so, shareholders
IN the Paris company would receive some
return for their expenditures Otherwise,
every thing is lost-snd numerous people Of
great and friendly nation, countrymen Of
Lsfay yette and Rochambeau, will ever feel
that the American republic was unnecessar
lily htariless In its treatment Of them. Serti
ment has small place in so ut,litarIan
project as the building Of al interoceanic
canal, possibly. But we should not forget
that for century France was our devoted
friend, aud on occasions valued and i'm.
portant ally. The friendship OF The share
holders IN the French Canal Company is
worth something to the United States
Without wishing to be drawn into CON-
Earison Of the engineering merits of the rivsl
rou es, must record my modest opinion,
formed after thorough inspection of the
Atlantic terminus OF the contemplated Nj
caraguan Canal, that to construct the Rar
bor at Greytown will cost more than
$40 100000, and that .snorthern at any
time may shift the sands Of the roadstead to
the extent of rer derlng the harbor worthless
To create herbor there, as well as en- the
Pacific, will be stupendous job, and Con
gress should hesitate before committing the
Lstion to ..jobs" of any sinds.
( doubt if any impartial. disinterested
person can spend week in Nicaragua with
out becoming champion Of the other
route.
Il may not be ont of place, in passing, to
ask those advocates of the Nicaregusn plan,

inaistent that there is nothing to hinder

taelr canal, how the concessions Of the sog-
called Pallas Company, possessing 4 franL
chise from the Nicaraguan Governments fob

BONES OF MASTODON

Stockton. pril 29.-Professor Osmont
of the University of California will ar
rive in Stockton tomorrow morning
and. in company with City Superinten-
dent of Schools James A. Barr. will go
to Union island to examine the bones
of a mastodon or mammoth discovered
there Sunday by japanese. The visit
of Prof. Osmont is for the purpose OF
taking preliminary steps to have all Of
the bones removed to the University
of California. The party will be ac.
companied by photographer, who will
take a set of pictures of the scene
where the bones were uncovered and
of the larger parts of the bones.
At first the discovery was regarded
here in the nature of joke. but over a
dozen prominent residents of Stockton
have examined the sections of skeleton
removed from the ground and say that
it is the largest they have ever seen
The japanese dug up only portion OF
the skeleton and removed it to their
homes, and II Is believed that the great
er part of II can be recovered, as the
portion taken from the ground was
well preserved. The teeth were miss
ing from the jaw, and all of the bones
Indicated that they must have been
been resting where they were found for
hundreds of years. The tusk which
led to the discovery is about eight feet
In length, and It required the unitet
efforts of several men to load 1t into 4
wagon after 1t had been taken from thu
ground.
The discovery has created consider.
able excitement In educational scien.
tifc> circles here. Just how the skele.
ton happened to remain on the island
so long without being discovered was
not clear till 1t was learned that a good
portion of 1t was inundated land. II
was impossible for anyone to move
about on it until levees were thrown uI
around the island and the soil drained
This Is the first year that II has been
cultivated, and this discovery may re,
suit In other things of value to science
being brought to light.

RED ROSE OF MARGARET.

Red rose OF Margaret,
Here in my book you lie,
Red as her lips and fragrant yet.
Dead rose that can never die;
Margaret gathered one red rose, and
another red rose |.
AS long as any rose is red
On this little rose-hung tree.
AS long as willow leaves are green.
Shall | be true to thee"
So vowed unto Margaret and Mar
garet unto me.
"As long as this little stream shall ruE
Through the quiet willows here.
Out of the shadow into the sun.
Shall Margaret be dear;
Yea, though the stream should dry
and the willows die, and the
grass grow sere.
Yet should | not forget,
Though the sun shouiu fail.
The holy face OF Margaret,
Pale as pearl is pale;
And change shall change all else, hui
over this It shall not prevail.
And as true as | to Margaret
To me shall Margaret he,
And some day we shall stand again
BY that little rose-hung tree,
And each, with lose IN the hand,
shall say: L was faithful unto
thee"

HARDIN COLLEGE.
Many Improvements on Buildings
and Campus-Attendance at Pres
ent Smaller That at Same Day
1901.

The year of 1902-l903 at Hardin
College has been entered upon with
the buildings improved in appearance
and usefulness.
The most beneficial changes that
have been made are the substitution,
in many Of the rooms, of uncovered
hardwood floor for carpets, and the re-
painting Of most Of the interior wood
work, a very appreciable improvement
in sanitary conditions.
The parlors, the presidents Office
and several other OF the pubic rooms
have also been refurnished with proper
suites.
On account Of this summer'sprofuse
precipitation and by good care-taklng
the campus is in excellent condition.
Also the drives have been put in better
shape and the Central Avenue side.
walk entrance has been remodeled to
a more convient and handsomer style.
AS is the case in nearly every school
this year the students are entering
more slowly than last.
Wednesday evening at the close OF
office hours the attendance stood at
1S1, seven less than at the same day In
1901, but the deficit will soon be made
