THE ROSE.
By Pierre Ronsard.

By Pierre Ronsard ~ Come, my Mignonne., let us go
 Let us see if wonder rose, That this morning did disclose
 Robes of crimson to the sun,
 Now that evening has begun, Still with tints like yours does glow. An. my Mignonne, look and seer Look there, underneath the bough; Short the space from them till now, But its beauties all are past!
 Scarce from morn till eve the last Such Is natures harsh decree. An. my Mignonne. trust to me;
 While your youth as yet is seen In It's freshest, fairest green.
 Seize the moments to enjoy;
 Old age hastens to destroy Roses, beauty. youth, and thee.

COckERlLL ACQUITTED.
Was Charged With Murder of Ben
 Hareis-Result of Feud.

Compton, Ky, October 24.-The jury in the case of Tom Cockrill, charged with the murder of Ben Hargis during a fight at Jackson, Ky, last spring, re- turned verdict of not guilty at S:3O this morning. In the fight in which Hargis lost his life, Coekerill was severely wounded.
 The killing with which Cockerili was charged was one of many that have oc- cured as a result of bitter feud be- tween Cockerill and Hargis' factions in Breathitt county, Ky. The last casualty in the feud was the assassination of Jim Cockerill, Tom Cockerills brother, from the court house at Jackson, for which no arrest has eyer been made.

LETTERS TO EDITOR.
Complaints of Management.
of the Age-Herald: :

 To the Editor of the Age -Herald We, the undersigned residents of Besse- mer, desire to protest against what ap- pears to us to be gross mismAnagement on the part of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in their con- duct of the Bessemer and Birmingham dummy line.
 On Thursday night a large party of Bessemer people. including many ladies, waited on the streets of Birmingham from Il until 80 o'clock for the theatre dummy due to leave at Il o'clock. The same en- gine the breaking down of which in Bes- semer had caused the delay, was used for the return trip. While waiting, the would be passengers were obliged to stand on the streets, as the waiting room was closed. On reaching Greens station the dummy broke down and was delayed an hour. Between Hawkins spring and Wilks' station 1t became so disabled that 1t could not be moved until an engine was sent to it's relief at about o'clock this morning. Those who were able, including many ladies' walked the four miles into Bessemer. Others were obliged to remain in the woods or on the dummy cars until morning.
 We feel that the Bessemer people who constantly patronize this line deserve bet- ter treatment and that such unfortunate occurrences could be averted by a little care and forethought on the part of the company.

The principal demand was for food fish but there were also increased applica- tions for the varieties which are sought after principally for sport. This has been specially true of rainbow trout.
 Fish Commissioner Bowers said that the greatest number of fish sent out for any year previous to 1898, when he be- came commissioner, was 56S. GOO. He ex- pressed himself as greatly pleased with the growth of the industry of fish grow ing from an economic point of view.

Carroll D. Wrioht.

"The anthracite strike commission is composed of able men, Bishop Spalding being foremost in scholarship" said an ex-congressman at the Metropolitan. But the man connected with the com mission who is most familiar with con- ditions in the mining regions, is, in my opinion, Carroll D. Wright. MT. Wright is statistican of the first rank. As United States labor commissioner for the past eighteen years he has done work of far-reaching good He has been elected president of Clark college, Worcester, Mass, but fortunately for the govern ment he will not rellnquish his present post until nearly two years helca, the intervening time being required for the completion of important investigations which are now before his bureau"
 MT. Wright has been signally success ful in the administration of the office which he has held for so many years in that he has confined the reports of his bureau purely to statistics, and despite the fact that the compilation of statistics affecting capital and labor has been car ried on during a period of much agita- ton il. industrial affairs, he nas managed so to present his findings as to leave no ground for a charge of bias against either side.
 "One of the chief Investigations, to complete which MT. Wright will remain Tn office for two years. relates to the restric- tiop of output in this country. The in quiry will .leal especially with the re- strictive rules adopted by labor crganiz- ations, the harmful possibilities of which are so strikingly disclosed by present day labor conditions iu England. The statis- ties now being gathered and the compila- ton of which will not be completed for at least a year, will demonstrate to what ex- tent restrictive rules have been adopted by organization of American artisans and what effect such influences have had upon industry, a pal ticularly fruitful topic in view of the contention that such restrc- ton has been largely instrumental in han dieapping British manufacturers in their competition with American concerns The bureau of labor Is also conducting an elaborate investigation as to the cost of living in this country.
 While Mr. Wright is not voting mem Der of the anthracite commission, he will, in his position of recorder, le able to rem der valuable assistance"

There was economy. perhaps, in the twenty-story steel-frame buildings in great cities like Chicago and New York where central real estate was scarce and high. but architects and the mercantile public are now opposed to towering struc- lures. and the office buildings of the fu- ture will not be over ten or twelve stories in height said a business man of Louis- vile at the Morris.
 "The twenty-story affairs shut out the light and air from the street. Besides they are ungainly. Twelve-story build ings are really too high. An eight-story structure would look better. But l be- lieve architects who plan and supervise and the capitalists who invest their money in modern mercantile buildings will finally compromise on ten stories

"Of all the newer railroad officials con- nected with southern lines, not one per haps has made a more favorable impress sion in Alabama than MT. Dugan, assis- tant general manager of the Southern Railway company" said a prominent coal operator at the IIillman last night.
 Tn other days the rise of railroad officials depended largely on their pull but in this progressive period every man is advanced to high position solely on his merit Age counts for little. If a man of 30 can do the work and show big re- suits he attracts attention and big pay. If man happens to be 60 years old and shows big results he is solid with the company and draws big pay.
 MT. Dugan is barely 37 years old, but he has had wide experience In railroad service; he is a mixer in the best sense of the term and has demonstrated his ability to manage men, get results and earn his salary. He has been with the Southern for a short time only, but he is fast becoming familiar with the terri tory traversed by his great system. In the three or four days that he has been in the Birmingham district he has gained a pretty good knowledge of transporta- .tion. traffic and fuel conditions here. He knows the location of every coal tipple, the capacity of the different mines, and all the operators personally in this part of the country. Dugan is quick to grasp the situation and quick to act. Ills pres ence here means much for this district, and there is no doubt of the fact that he will give material support to superin- tendent C. s. Hayden. And Hayden is all right if he only has proper assistance from headduarters. :"
