Subscriptions Given MT. Brand.
 Evergreen. Ala. March 2, 1902. Editor The Advertiser:
 The effort now being made by promi- nent Alabamians to build a Soldiers Home recalls the fact to some citizens of Evergreen that some time last year man by the name of B. w. Brand, from Columbiana, came here soliciting subscriptions to a fund to be used for erecting a Soldiers Home. and collected something like $40 in cash from our citt- gems. He had been to Greenville and other towns along tho line of the Louis- vile and Nashville, where he collected various amounts. We have never seen anything in the public prints as to what has been done with this money and those who contributed are anxious to know what disposition has been made of 1t. If this money is still in MT. Brands hands those who contributed iA> this place are anxious that 1t should be used to assist in building the proposed Home. of which that prince of Alabamians, Captain J. M. Falkner. is due the praise for starting the movement to secure. We hope MT. Brand will explain through The Adver- tiser what progress he has made and that he will be able to make a gratifying showing. G. w. Salter' Jr.

NoNE FOR HoGa.

There are some who are disposed to criticise ex-Governor Hogs because he refused. or would refuse, to attend the coronation of King Edward if forced to appear in knee brooches. but they do not consider all the points involved in the matter. A man should wear such clothes as are becoming to him. or. at least, should not wear garments which would make him appear ridiculous. There are men whose lower limbs and feet are so well and symmetrically formed that they look well in knee-breeches. and they can wear them without making guys of them selves, but, in the language of the slangist, there are others"
 Mir. Hogg is built on massive propor- tions. He weighs something like 4oo pounds, we are informed. and his calves are doubtless of corresponding size. On the other hand there are men two yards high and half a yard in circumference. whose legs resemble walking-canes and who have feet built on the extention plan. Such a man and Governor Hogg are opposites and neither would make good appearance in short pants and lopg hose. While 1t might show q want of respect and a lack of breeding in the voluminous Texan to appear at the coro- nation in unconventional dress, his at- tendance is not compulsory. and he will be guilty of no disrespect by failing to be present, nor should he be blamed. feeling as he does. for absenting himself. We rather admire him for his einde- pendence.

Question for the Grand Jury.

ttdlK, Aid.s hdiSh !, A'v-' Editor The Advertiser:
 In the late grand juhy report I notice they report the county court house in an untidy condition and request that the sheriff be required to keep 1t in order.
 Now Mrs. Advertiser why the sheriff, Is he paid to do that any more than any other county officer?
 The Probate Judge. Tax Collector and Assessor, clerks of the different courts, Board of Revenue, Register in Chancery, etc.. all have offices in the court house. as well as the sheriff. Why then. l re- peat should he be required to keep 1t in order at a cost of perhaps $500 per year, when there is no provision made to reimburse him for the outlay.
 Now in justice to all parties l think the Board of Revenue should pay a janitor to keep the court house in order and pay him in the same manner they pay other county expenses. Voter.

from an employe is not unreasonable. Other employees are bonded. and motor men and conductors are bonded in other cities. Of course. if any conductor or motorman did not choose to accept the conditions. he had a right to give up his place; and the conductors and motor- men had an undoubted right to give up their places in a body if they wished. Likewise. it is the company's privilge to manage its own business.
 That Is putting the case fairly. Of course the employees had a right to quit if they chose to do so. provided they violated no contract by so doing. but we agree with The Landmark in saying that "here let it be said that the rights of the striking employees cease. They cannot question the right of other men to take vacant positions. They have no right to interfere by any act of force with the movement of cars. When strikers resort to force, they are sure to lose whatever public sympathy they may have enjoyed" That last sentence tells just what happens in all cases where strikers resort to violence. They not only deprive themselves of the sympathy of the community. but they not infre- quently bring on conflicts which result in bloodsheed and loss of life. There is reason to hope that the Norfolk strike will be settled. but already the strikers have committed acts of violence and law lessness for which there neither is nor can be any defence.

The Birmingham News is throwing some shots, at the "mashers'' of that city. who congregate on the corners and stare at the ladies who are forced to pass that way. The News describes the 1nasher as a man who rigs himself in a loud shirt, corspicuously high collar and a necktie with a variety of colors and pastes down his hair on his forehead. Then he thrusts both hands in his pockets. twists back the corners of his coat so as to exhibit a speckled waist coat, and poses for the passing throng." The Chief of Police of Birmingham has issued orders that men who thus make nuisances of themselves must move on,' but the probability is that they will only move to some other corner. They are one of the appare9E necessary evils in nal sitieM s

Slam on Society.
Coosa Valleyan.

 There is one thing some people are guilty of, although they are ignorant of the fact, and whom we would least sus- pect. That is vulgarity. The sitting around the store and offices. whiting on sticks and telling of vulgar jokes Is a very low occupation and one who listens to them is little higher in his moral state.
 It is a slam on the society of a com munity to allow such gatherings in our stores or offices and 1t Is the duty of every good citizen to discourage 1t and to set examples more worthy to those who have not had the educational ad- Yantages they should have had

TWO RECENT EXAMPLES.

The sometime intolerance or labor unions has received two notable exposi- tions recently, the first of which is thus set out in a special to a contemporary from Terre Haute, Ind:
 Eighty-dve school children of Seeley- vile, Ind, on the Terre Haute and Brazil intersuburban, gathered about the Seeley- vile school, marched into the rooms in a body and carried out their books. They announced that they were quitting the school because two of the teachers ride on inter-suburban cars. on which non-union trainmen are employed.
 To understand the action of these chill dren 1t is only necessary to state that there is a street-car strike on at Terre Haute, and that the children belong to families of union coal miners who are in sympathy with the street car strikers. It is thus seen how the strike extends it's operations and how injustice follows such intolerance. Whether street car men had cause for striking Is not the question. if only themselves were affected, but here are children deprived of the privilege of attending the public school because two of the teachers saw fit to ride on the cars, and the misguided parents of the children were "in sympathy with the strikers" Is there any defence for such action?
 The strike among the street car em- ployes in Norfolk, Va, has been exploited through the papers, but the reason ha: not been made plain. It all came about because the company operating the street railways required bonds from the con ductors and motormen It is not proba ble that such requirement would hav' been made, without good cause, and o this The Norfolk Landmark says: The mere fact ot requiring 8 hoRS

The people of Utah are worried because the surface of Salt Lake is sinking, and they can't account for the disappearance of the water. That is because they are not up on science. Salt absorbs water, and as the lake is very salty it naturally follows that the salt is soaking up all the water. That's an easy one.

It . a little singular that General Longstreet should continue to criticise and really malign General Lee. but it is true. more's the pity. For all that he was as general. Longstreet is indebted to Lee, and common gratitude. if noth- ing else, should restrain him from slandering his old commander. Not that it makes any difference with the Ameri- can people, for Lees place as the greatest soldier the country ever pro- duced is too firmly fixed to be disturbed at this late day by the criticisms of Long, street or anybody else.

AS the tootpall toonSnness' or rather ginning some where up North, 1t is quite appropriate that the reform should also begin there.

UNIQUE JAIL.

Graham county Jail at Clifton Ariz.,
is unique. 1t comprises four large
apartments hewn from the solid quartz
rock Of a hillside. The entrance is
through a box like vestibule built of
heavy masonry and equipped with three
sets Of steel gates. The floor of the
rockbound jail Is of cement and the
prisoners are confined exclusively in the
larger rooms. Some of the most des-
perate criminals on the Southwest bor-
der have been confined in the Clifton
jail, and so solid and heavy are the
barriers to escape that no one there
has ever attempted a break for freedom
The notorious Black Jack was there for
months. The wall of quartz about the
jail is Is feet thick Clifton is one Of
the great copper mining camps I'm Arr
iona and has the reputation of being
as depraved a community as yet exists
on the frontier of civilization. In
summer the mercury there frequently
rises to 120 in the shade, and in the
winter 1t never goes below 40 degrees.

MUSIC



The Wilczek concert at the Hawaii
an Opera House last evening was well
attended and thoroughly enjoyed.
Franz Wilczek, in the four numbers in
which he appeared, gave the greatest
delight to his audience. The young
Austrian is a handsome man, and pos
sesses what so many violinists do not,
pleasing presence on the stage, a
very graceful carriage and poise, and
the ability to wear clothes as though
they were his and not merely a part of
his professional make-up-all of which
may seem to have very little bearing
on the quality or effect of his musical
work, but "SartOr Resartus" could
prove, that it has a great deal to do
with it.
Wilczek's four numbers were a Suite
for Piano and Violin" two movements,
by Goldmark; "Fantaisie Caprice"
VieuXtemps; "Paraphrase, prize song
from Meistersinger,' Wagner; and
Spanish Dance "Zapateado," Sarasate.
Mrs. l.. Tenney Peck accompanied him
on the piano, showing skill and judg-
ment. In the Wagner Paraphrase Miss
Carrie Castle showed her thoroughness
of musical conception, in the organ ac-
! compartment.
Sarasate's "Zapateado" was the Sc
lection chosen by Wilczek to exhibit
the violin gymnastics which all pro-
fessional violinists, probably taught by
experience, feel it necessary to include
on their programs.
Mrs. George w. Macfarlane sang
Meyerbeers Roberto, tn che adore, -
and later consented to sing Comm
Thro' the Rye" in lieu of responding
to the recall which the audience in
sistently gave her Miss Won Holt aC-
companied Mrs. Macfarlane.
Hugo Herzer sang two selections
that were admirably suited to the very
| melodious timbre of his voice. The au-
dience showed their satisfaction by re-
| calling him.

POST SCHOOLS.

Post schools for lieutenants and cap
tains who have served less than ten
years as commissioned officers, will be
established at all army posts, by direc-
ton of the Secretary of War. These
post schools will take the place of the
old lyceums. In the circular setting
forth the purposes of the school Sec
retary Root says:
1T is not intended that officers shall
be forever attending Rotations. I'm
der the old system of lyceum instruc-
ton there was no such thing as gradu-
alton, but under the new scheme, pre-
pared under the direct supervision of
the Secretary of War, officers will be
able generally within two years to Sc
cure certificates in all the departments
which they are required to pursue. 1t
is assumed that all officers have an av-
erage education before entering the
Army, and the idea which runs through
the new system is that every officer
holding a commission should possess a
thorough technical knowledge indis-
pensable to military men. Every Lieu
tenant will be required to establish his
fitness not only in the theories of his
ordinary duties, but also learn prac-
tically the duties of Adjutant, Quarter
master COmmissary and those of other
staff bureaus. He will be required to
show his mastery of all the details Of
company administra ton, which knowl-
edge is of such great importance, since
1t involves the preparation of all the
muster rolls, returns and other COM
pany papers, acquisitions for ratiOns,
clothing and other supplies, supervis-
ion of the preparation and cooking of
food for the men,"
