REWARD OFFERED.

The county commissioners yesterday
offered Il reward of $500 for the appre-
hensior Of the murderer. Recorder W.
l.. Connell, Director of Public Safety F.
l.. Wormser and the heads of the police
department conferred yesterday. as to
the advisability of Offering a reward
and engaging professional detectives
1t was decided not to offer the reward
but nothing definite was offered as to
the other matter, or if there was moth
ing was given out about it.
Crowds continue to visit the scene of
the murder. The ground along the line
of blood over which the body was drag
ged has been tramped bare of grass
Sticks set in the ground indicate the
different spots at which were enacted
the various incidents of the various
crime.
At the Quinn home the relatives and
neighbors assemble in large numbers
day and night and discuss the POSSIBLE
tiles of the murderer being captured
Judging from the talk of the commune
ity it would be sorry day for the mur-
derer if he was in the hands of Mary
Quinn's friends. No woman of that To-
cality was held in higher esteem and all
declare that she lived a most exem-
plary life.
The funeral will take place at o
o'clock this morning from the home on
Twenty-tlfth street.
A high mass of requiem will be sung
in st. Patrick's Catholic church, begin
ming at $3.50 o'clock, and interment will
be made in the Cathedral cemetery

going to get hurt soon, who is inno-
cent of wrong doing. For instance, a
drunken man may step from the side

taken for a robber. may get plugged"
Several telephone messages were re-
ceived at the police station last night
with reference to night providers, but
investigation revealed nothing. Beside
Gals were posted in the Makiki dis
trict, but up to a late hour last night
nothing out Of the way was reported
About o'clock last night man was
seen going down King street, near
Thomas Square, carrying rife. On
being questioned, he said that he had
armed himself with a rifle because he
did not want to run any risk Of being
arrested for carrying concealed weap-
ons.
Early yesterday morning, w. T. Raw
Inns. who lives at the old Tivoli baths.
at Waikiki was awakened by the
sound of some one trying to open the
front door of his house. Immediately
afterwards he heard footsteps crossing
the lanai. and looking out he saw q
man standing in the yard. When the
intruder saw Rawlins he hid in some
bushes.
Rawlins went and got revolver and
fired three shots at the man. who
started to run just as soon as he saw
the gun. He escaped, apparently I'M
scathed. The supposed robber is said
to have visited Seeley Shaw's place
earlier in the night, but was frlghten-
ed away by the dogs.
Mrs G. y. Wood reported at the po-
lice station yesterday that suspicious
looking individual had been hanging
around her place on Thurston avenue
all the morning. She feared that he
was there for no good purpose. High
Sheriff Brown despatched an officer to
investigate the matter.
The following cases were disposed OF
in the District Court yesterday:

AN AUTOMOBILE FIRE ENGINE.

The first town in England to effectively
display the possibilities of the motor fire
engine for fire 'gade purposes is Eccles.
in Lancashire. The engine was con-
structed by a local firm and has proved
a conspicuous success. 1t carries five
men. 800 yards of hose. two standpipes,
scaling ladders, jumping sheet and other
necessary apparatus. 1t is propelled by a
six-horse-power electric motor. 1t is re-
markedly silent in motion, and averages
a speed of fourteen to sixteen miles per
hour on the level. II has also established
its ability for climbing stiff gradients

Czar, King and Pope.

When the newspaper correspondents at Rome sent out the story month or more ago to the effect that the Emperor of Russia, when visiting the eternal city this winter, would not call on the Pope, but would pay his respects only to the King of Italy," remarked a student of affairs Now I see from a recent Asso- ciated Press dispatch that Grand Duke Sergiua has been sent from St. Peters, burg to the vatican to arrange for the Czar's visit to the Pope.
 "Of course anyone familiar with af. fairs of state and diplomatic usage in particular might have known that the Car had no idea of snubbing the sov- ereign pontiff. It was after many years of effort that diplomatic relations were established not long since between the Pope and the Car The latter now main- tains brilliant embassy at the vatican, and that fact would settle the matter of the Czars personal attitude to the Pope.
 The German Emperor called on the Pope when he was in Rome and spent some time in private audience with his holiness. What the German Emperor could do in a case of this kind the Czar could more easily do, because he and his subjects regard themselves as Catholics, and are, I believe, on all points of dogma except that of the papal infal- libility"

Blrmlnuham and Memphls.

With Atlanta and Nashville out of the running, neither having anything from which greatness can be predi- cated, the 1910 race in the cotton belt Is confined to Greater Birming ham and Greater Memphis-to Jeffer- son county, Alabama, and Shelby county, Tennessee. Memphis is ln- clined to think it has walk-over, but an. impartial glance at the situation is sufficient to show that its case is hopeless in the long run.
 Birmingham's prosperity and growth are based on deposits of iron ore, Aux and coal, lying side by side, and each warranted to last thou sand years, or perhaps two thousand years. We are willing, however, to accept thousand years as limit, because the sea will soon be extended to the heart of this district on the line of the Warrior, and the work of dig ging out ore and coal will go on with redoubled vigor in order to meet the 1 demands of an iron-consuming world. We have enough of the great com mercial metal to last in any case one thousand years.
 What has Memphis got? Its pros- perity is very considerable, much be- yond that of Nashville or Atlanta, but it is based on cotton and timber, both of which are disappearing quantities. It does not manufacture cotton, and in ten years the southern forests will be decimated, and the cotton mills of the south, placed in each county amid the cotton fields, will spin the south ern crop. Where will Memphis trade and industries be then? At present Memphis is commercial and lumber center. It has a lumberman's club, which recently printed these statis- tics:
 Firms engaged in lumber business, 70.
 Capital invested, S4,000,000.
 Men employed, 5000
 l Wages paid annually to labor, $1, 500,- OOO
 Logs received by river, 7500O,oo0
 Logs received by rail, 40,000000.
 Lumber received by rail. S600O,000 feet.
 Lumber received by river, 100000 GOO feet Lumber shipped from city, 200, ,000 900 l feet
 Lumber shipped direct to trade from country 25, 100000 feet.
 Annual sales, $60OO,0O0
 Cars handled in and out of Memphis. S5,o00.
 This pace cannot be maintained be- yond ten years because southern for ests are disappearing, and when they are gone Memphis great industry will go, too, joining in that respect trade based on raw cotton.
 The long distance race goes beyond reasonable doubt to Greater Bir- mingham, and if the Fifty-eighth congress is kind to the Warrior, the cotton-belt first prize of 1910 will come this way also. The Age-Herald freely admits, however, that Memphis is a worthy short-winded competitor.

no one should try to explain the out givings of a Chicago. professor. They are unfathomable and wholly unre- lated to common sense.
 What young man or young woman stands ready to dress him or herself on s95 a year? Not even absence from the saloons and vaudeville shows would admit of economy of that sort.
 The Chicago Tribune has inter- viewed a laundryman whose family consists, beside himself. of his wife, and two children, each under four years of age, and his annual expenses are as follows:
 Rent of three rooms at ss a month.. .$10S Food for four persons at about 8 per
 week.. .... .... .... .... .... ........ 260 Gas bill-... .... ..... '....' ...''... ~ Clothing for four persons...... ........ 50
 Total .. .......................... .94oo
 This rather more than supports Professor Clarkes theory but the trouble Is to find many Americans who will agree to live as the Trib- une's laundryman does. The average American is not built that way, and it will scarcely be urged that the laun- dryman in question represents the mass of Americans dwelling in Amer ican cities.
 Dun's tables, the standard author ity. state that the cost on October 1, 1902, per capita of the necessities of life was $120.77, the consumer pay ing retail prices for what he needs. This is a great advance in the cost of living over July, 1897, when such necessaries cost the consumer $86.94. But accepting Dun's figures, the cost of lodging, of preparing the food pur- chased for use, together with vari- ety of incidentals, would carry the annual cost of living to the single man or woman much beyond s200. Dun, for example. puts down the cost of clothing at S19.92, but this is the cost of the cloth consumed, not of garments ready for use.

NED BRACETALKS OF THELATE TF1OS. B. REEDs
 AND OTHER AFFAIRS AFFECTING THE COUNTRY

T APPEARS that ex-speaier Thom-
 as B. Reed is in critical condi- } ton and that he may die at any moment. His death would re- move the most conspicuously glittering figure which has appeared before the footlights of national politics for many years. He served twenty years in con- gress, was a leader of his party and speaker for two terms He desired the Presidency. Failing to get the nomina- ton from his party. he retired from nol- ties and began the pursuit of dollars.
 Had he not been ambitious in literary sense, so to speak. he might have gained the Presidency. He often sacrificed pollti- cal friends for the purpose of saying bright things and constructing effective sentences in his speeches. He had no respect for men of ordinary talents. He would not listen to the commonplace As speaker, unless a member of congress could talk well. he would not recognize him. He was ezar in the strictest sense of the word.
 Reed could have returned to congress as long as he desired and could have remained speaker as long as the republi- cans held control. But he had had enough of it. He had accumulated no worldly possessions and when offered a guaran- tee of s5O,O0O year in the practice of law in New York, he abandoned politics and went to it. During the past two years I am told that his income has been far in excess of s1OO.0OO year. More practice at fabulous fees has been offered to him than he could attend to. Yet 1t seems that in the era of his financial prosperity he is to be cut off.
 <
 LATER-Since the above was written and in type the life of Thomas B. Reed has been cut off Though in politics he was cold hlooded, and some times sacrificed popularity to brilliancy. there was much in the man which was good and gener- ous. Reed was big man, of big frame, and to those he loved, of big heart. To his family he was devoted. He was not much given to social life. He made no display; but realizing that age was creep- ing upon him and that his health might break at any moment in the past several years he was desirous of ac- cumulating competency which might provide for his wife and daughter. should he pass away.
 Reed once told me story of an offer made to him to write a newspaper arti- cle expressing his views on what action a national political convention of the republican party should take. He was offered $10,0OO for thousand word article. The offer came from one of the wealth. fest newspaper publishers in the world. Naturally he was desirous both of ex-

School Books for Alabama Children.

A. H. Holstun pleads in the La fayette Sun for state uniformity in school books. He says:
 Alabama has uniformity in more than a third of It's counties. This does not re- duce the publishers price on books one cent for only state uniformity can se- cure a reduction in publishers prices. This causes the book companies to lobby for county uniformity, if any kind is se- cured by the legislature, thereby deluding the people.
 This is an exact definition of coun- ty uniformity, and MT. Holstun de- serves the thanks of the people for his faithful picture of that deceptive device.
 State uniformity on honest lines will cut down the prices of school books from 30 to 50 per cent. It will establish uniformity throughout the state, and uniformity is desirable. The pretense that a reader or a geog- raphy suitable to one locality is not a good reader or geography in an other locality is a yarn spun by the book trust itself. Any man who will stop to think moment knows better. A reader or geography good in one county is good in all, and it is an in suit to the sighted county to assert tAe opposite.
 But it is scarcely necessary to argue so plain a case. The question before the legislature is very sim pie one-will it prefer the welfare of 100000 children to the book trust. or vice versa? Shall the. book trust be permitted to fatten on the school needs of the 100000 children of the state, or shall it be compelled to sell books on terms determined in open and fair competition? Which shall it be, gentlemen of the legislature?

OpenInu the Warrior.

On the 23rd day of this month at Mobile will be let contracts for the construction of the last three locks and dams needed in the Warrior river below Tuscaloosa. The money, nearly million dollars, has been appor- tioned, and the three locks and dams will probably be completed by the end of the year 1903.
 This means. that six-foot slackwater navigation will then be established from New Orleans and Mobile to a point twenty-six miles above Tusca- loosa, in the very heart of the coal deposits of this district. Three locks and dams have been completed above Tuscaloosa, and these carry slack water navigation up to the rapids, where six more dams and locks must be built in order to extend navigation

Our Citizen Army.

The federal constitution says that congress shall provide for "organiz- ing, arming and disciplining" the milf tia. This duty congress has never met, and Secretary of War Root de- sires congress to do it's duty in this regard. This is, in fact, the best point made in his annual report.
 Instead of 115,O00 national guards men he wants at least twice that num- Der. Instead of having them armed with rifles that would be useless in war owing to the lack of obsolete am intuition, he wants them supplied with modern service rifles. Out of the 115,OO0 now enrolled only 4OO0 have such rifles. Then, too, he wants them drilled each year at four perma- nent camps, where instruction of both the regular army and the national guard, together with annual maneu- vers, would go together in the month of September. All this, he proposes, shall be done at the expense of the national government.
 The plan MT. Root proposes Is em- bodied in the bill that has passed the house, and it is now before the senate with some prospect of passage. It would give us an immediate available force, in case of war, of 30O,0O0 men.
 If the bill mentioned should become law the national guard of Alabama would have to be drilled, for instead of 5000 national guardsmen Alabama's quota would be about 5000 men, and as the national government would foot the bills no doubt the young men of the state would do the rest.

Father Younan.

The Rev. Father Younan, the priest who is in charge of the mission work of the Paulist congregation, and who is now conducting a mission at St. Paul church in this city. is one of the famous men of the Catholic church. He was born in Calcutta, India, of purely Syrian parents. whose mother tongue IS the language of our Lord-the -chaldatc.
 Father Younan was educated and or- dained in Calcutta, where he exchanged the bar for the pulpit He left his home country and came to the United States twelve years ago, after having been missionary to the pagans eighteen years. He has devoted his life in the new world to missionary work, especially among non Catholics.
 He has been a great traveller over the world and as a missionary in this coun- try has been well through the states. Father Younan is superior of the Paul. ists new home. St. Francis de Sales at Winchester Tenn.
 "Of all the great preachers, Protestant and Catholic that l have heard during the last thirty years. not many have pleased me so much as Father Youman.' said a well-lnown professional man who attended mass last Sunday and one or two of the night services at St. Pauls during the week.
 This learned Asiatie not only has no foreign accent or foreign mannerism, but he has a command of the English lan- guage equal to any English or American scholar, and his enunciation is singularly distinct, without any suggestion of affec- tation. l will not undertake to analyze fully Father Youman's homiletic style or his style of oratory; but briefly I would say that terseness and dramatic power were among his finest qualities. l was particularly struck with the simplicity, the clearness and the beauty of Father Youman's lecture on the sacramental system of the Catholic church. Starting out with the questions and answers in the childs catechism: What is a sacrament? It is an outward sign of an inward grace the priest went through the list of saeraments. explaining each one so that a child could understand what he sdld IL was readily seen that the rather had much reserve force; that he could become impassioned without ranting or beating the air, and dramatic without be- ing stagey. He had his emotions under restraint, as all master orators and ac- tors must, but by luminous passages and stirring appeals near the close of his lecture he easily played upon the heart ct of h is indeed a man of uncommon talents and charm, and those who listen to him cnce must be eager to hear him again.

 It was Lionel Heterington who said this. His soul vibrated with subdued pas sion The audience was electrified.
 But the audience was still further elec- trified when Gerald Scrooge, the amateur heavy man, who had just joined the troop, exclaimed: "I'll not stand back. I was rehearsed in this part and told to stand right where am. And want you to understand, you overgrown nope, that I am no cowardp
