An Attempt Made to Destroy Town of

Peoria, ILL.,, August ia bold attempt
was made at noon today to fire the bust

clude Horce Clark & Sons mills, SiOo, 600;
Neumiller's livery barn and twenty
horses, $4,000; O'Leary's undertaking es-
Enlistment, $4,000. The Neumiller livery
barns were fired by an incendiary and
twenty horses were suffocated Only one
horse was saved from the fire. The en-
tire stock of carriages was destroyed. The
O'Leary undertaking establishment and
contents are a total loss. The Neumller
barns are in a thickly-built-up section of
the city and this time. it is feared, the
flames will spread to adjoining buildings
Previous to this fire an attempt was made
to fire the store rooms and offices of the
Val Blatz Brewing company. few blocks

morning. The fire bug has played havoc
in Peoria for months and the reward of
$500 does not effect his capture.
While the Neumiller fire was raging the
torch was applied to the roller mills of

and the entire plant was wiped out. 1t
is singular that the founder of the COM
pany, Horce Clark, ST., died early this
morning of paralysis The police think
they have arrested the fire bug.

How the Stale Stands.

From the Johnston-Wa1ler camp
comes the claim that Hale. Greene,
Perry, Jackson, Marshall, Morgan, Lee
and st. Clair-eight counties out of
sixty-six-are sure Johnston-Waller
counties. It is difficult to see why
Hale, Greene and Perry should be diff
ferent than the ten other counties of
the Black Belt which are confessedly
going for Jells and Pettus. and The
Age Herald declines to consider the
three counties as exceptional.
Jackson, Marshall, st. Clair and
Morgan contain a good many voters
who are not democrats, and If these
counties are to become Johnston coun-
ties 1t will be because men who are not
democrats are permitted to vote in
democratic prime RES. The plan of the
democratic state executive committee
forbids this, and the democrats of the
four counties named should take steps
to prevent any such outrage upon dem
ocrats in all parts of the state. Action
In this respect is much needed and the
state committee has been called to
act.
The Age-Herald has full faith that
the majority of the people of Lee will
say that the new constitution should
be left in the hands OF It's friends
until it has been put into operation
and fairly tested, and we therefore de
cline to put Lee in the Johnston col
umn.

The BIRMINGHAM District.

Iron and steel and coal people in
Pittsburg or New York or across the
sea know nothing at all about Shelf
field district or an Admission district.
All productiveness in iron, steel or
coal in Alabama Is spoken of by them
as the product of "the Birmingham
district" and to prevent confusion this
definition of the district should be ac-
cepted at home. All Alabama iron,
all Alabama steel, all Alabama coal or
coke should be classed together, for
obvious reasons, and as the outside
world refuses to speak of the products
in question as coming from "the Ala
bama district" we are compelled to
accept their phrase, and to designate
all as coming from "the Birmingham
district"
We have no desire to unduly mag
nifty this town in this classification.
1t is simply a desire to conform to the
rest of the world, and to prevent con-
fusion of mind-to eliminate miscon-
ceptions at home. In other states
there is no confusion. "The Birming-
ham district" in those states means
all mineral resources in the state of
Alabama, and it may in time include
the scattered furnaces of Tennessee.

tached to sucn production, and it may
as well be understood hereafter that

birmingham has high reputation as
a center Of Industrial and commercial ac-

throughout the country as lawless
city" said a prominent New York man
stopping at the Hillman.
Several New York papers. including
the Herald, have analysed Birminghams
criminal record and have pointed out the
large number of murders that take place
here IN year. 1t Is hard to believe that
so solid and handsome a city would al
low reckless shooting. and yet one has to
remain in this section but a few weeks
to count several homieides. This state Of
affairs comes from the pistol-carrying
habit.
81 am well acquainted with towns of
100000 population that do not have six
murders in a year When a murder oc-
ours in so large city as Washington
the community is shocked. Here in Biz
mingham b1oodshed is so common. it
seems, that murder excites little atten-
ton. The good people should wake up
and organize a movement that would
make it next to impossible for a man or
boy to carry a pistol or any other deadly
weapon, for If killings continue to be
frequent the city will suffer materially,
to say nothing of the moral aspect of the
situation"

"wHAT HAS HE poNE2u

From the Eufaula Evening Journal.
The farmers of Barbour and surround

Governor Chen Editor Jelks through his
newspaper several years ago which re-
suited in so great an Improvement in the
cotton market at Eufaula and in conse-
quent benefit of many thousands of dol
lars to those farmers. as well as to the
merchants of Eufaula. He took up the
fight in their behalf and waged 1t con-
stantly and courageously.
Notwithstanding that by this course he
incurred the opposition of powerful In
terest, he was working for the greatest
good of the greatest number, showing
himself a friend of the people and ready
to stand up for their rights and inter-
ests. The opposition to the Governor Is
seeking to create a prejudice against
him by illusions to him as the machine
candidate, the ring politician and other
cheap phrases which ignorance or spite
find it convenient to employ, for want Of
an argument The fact remains. how
ever, that while he has never posed as
a demagogue or pretended to be a great
er champion of the people than any
other man in public life, he does not lose
sight of an opportunity to do the masses
a substantial service in face of the
strongest opposition or the most bitter
criticism.

Queen Alexandra a Doctor.

1.-The University of Oxford has been as
conservative in comforting the degree Of

the rare degree of doctor of common
law" sad a musician of sound educa-
ton. THE man who writes mus. doc.
Oxen. after mis- name must be q COM
poser of high reputation or a musical ar
fist of real scholarship. But Oxford let
down it's bars in order to bestow its de-
gree of doctor of music upon Queen
Alexandra. The Concert Goer prints a
picture of her majesty in doctors cap and
gown and with it these remarks:
=" We Americans are so accustomed to
see royalty honored because it is royalty
that many persons doubtless think that
this Is another case of honoring a posi-
ton, not attainment. For once, however,
this is not so. OF all her various diver
sions, music appeals most to the Queen.
She is a master of counterpart and har-
mony, and experimenting this knowledge
is expert handling of several musical in
struments
1.-THE harp is, perhaps, her favorite in
strument, but she is equally expert as a
performer on the violin, the guitar and
the pianoforte.''
"Now the Concert Goer is an excellent
publication; one of the most discriminate
ing musical journals, indeed, in the Uni
ted States but in its desire to say some
thing graceful about the good queen, it
certainly lost for the time being its
critical faculty.
Queen Alexandria is from all accounts
an accomplished musical amateur. She
plays on the piano and harp, as well
perhaps as the average amateur of tall
ent and education. But when it comes
to the violin it is unthinkable that she
could be an expert performer, because in
order to play comparatively easy music
such as Raffs Cavatina or De Beriot's
airs considerable practice is required. No
sort of technique can be kept up on the
violin without at least two hours work
every day, and what Queen would be
able to give two hours to the violin in
addition to piano and harp practice. Her
majesty was honored by oxford simply
because of her rank

THAT ELMoRE LYNcHlNe.

From the Eufaula Evening Journal.
In some sections of the state ridicu-
lously false reports are being circulated
in regard to what Governor Jelks did to
the Gilmore county lynchers. Some YER
sons of the affair would be amusing II
it were not for their falsity and malic-
iousness. One report is that the white
men lynched a negro for the usual heni-
Gus crime, and that Governor Jelks in a
most terrible revengeful manner bounded
the white men into the penitentiary-tha
he offered large rewards for their cap
ture and made 1t his personal business
to see that they were sent to the peni-
tertiary without fair show of acquital
Another report has it that Governor
Jelks went to Gilmore county and assisted
the solicitor in prosecuting men. This re-
port is really funny-its unreasonab leness
makes 1t absurd.
A supporter of Governor Jelks wrote
him in regard to the reports, and he
writes the following letter in regard to
the matter:
Dear Sir: I have your letter of recent
date. have heard about the exagger-
ated report of the Gilmore lynching
A number of white men in Gilmore
county lynched a negro. They started
out to lynch the brother of the man they
did kill, and not finding him they strung
up the other party. The trouble grew
out of a difficulty between the negro who
was not lynched and white man over
some chickens. Judge benson, of thai

against a number of the lynchers and
jury of their county found them guilty
and three of them were sentenced to the
penitentiary for ten years. The fourth
man appealed to a higher court. The
judge and solicitor and a great many Of
the citizens of the county thought the
three first men might properly be par
doned and the state board of pardons
advised to the same effect and the three
men are out. The fourth man who ap.

White Registration in the State.

All the counties of the state have
been heard from except Winston, and
1t Is known that 80 per cent of the
white vote has been registered. In
some of the counties the registration
is well nigh full. Out of 1888 whites
81 years old or over in Lowndes 1880,
for example, are registered. Out of
1916 in Macon, $50 are registered, and
out of 1899 in Perry 1856 are on the
electoral lists for life. Dallas did

MILLIONAIRE HoopLuMs.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
In the cities of the southern states
there is a class of idle, wort hless fell
lows who have no visible means of sup
port, but who live by disreputable and
often by criminal practices. They are
commonly known as loafers but when
they are habitually noisy violent and Of
fensive in their manners to peaceable
people, they are designated hoodlums.
1t is worth while to explain that the
term 'hoodlum" is contraction of
Hood lamb" a designation given to
gang of rowdies who went to California
in the early days of the Gold State"
from Baltimore, under the leadership of
notorious fellow named Hood Hoods
lambs. like 'Kirke's lambs" a set of
rascally, marauding Englishmen. under
the command Of one Colonel Kirke in the
time of James the Second, were a prec-
ious gang of ruffians.
Our hoodlums in the south are worth
less, shiftless, money1ess creatures but
up north, where there are so many great
private fortunes, there has been developed
the millionaire hoodlum. Within a few
days past. while United States Attorney
General Knox was dining in a hotel at
the New Jersey seaside resort. Atlantic
| City, the gentleman being accompanied
| by ladies and several male friends,
party of men at a nearby table assault
| ed General Knox and his ladies with
insulting words frequently repeated, and
| they became so offensive that he was
obliged to leave the room with his party.
AS the general was departing, the rascals
arose and followed and attacked him with
such violence that his clothes were badly
| torn.
The row was stopped by the walters of
the hotel who interfered and secured the
safety of the ladies'. When the matter
was inquired into 1t was brought out
that the cowardiy ruffians were a party
of young millionaires from Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. These purse proud hood
lums either thought that their wealth
would enable them to insult with i'm
punity respectable ladies and gentlemen,
or they recognized the highest law officer
of the government and knew that he had
been officially engaged in prosecuting the
meat trust, and were determined to make
him suffer for it.
| The millionaire hood1um is an entirely
new product of trustism and fortunately
is unknown here. Should this peculiar va
riety of a most offensive class make its
appearance in the south, 1t is to be hoped
that there will be found enough spirit
| and courage to resent and properly pun
ish its ruffianly assaults on decent peo-
pie.
