the employ of Nelson, was placed on the
stand. He recalled going after his en-
ployer the night of the fire, leaving the lat
ter's store about o'clock He failed to
find Nelson in Jackson City, and after re-
naming there few minutes he went to
Washington, where, he said, he found Mr.
Nelson in saloon on 14th street south
west he could not state the exact time.
After waiting a half hour, witness stated,
he and Nelson left the saloon about 1920
O'Clock, driving to Jackson City, where
they found the houses burning. Later the
two drove to their respective homes.
CrosS-eXamined, the witness said he left
his buggy across the street from the saloon.
lie was not aware, he said, that many wit
nesses had testified that they had seen no
vehicle at that hour about the saloon. In
the drive over, Burke stated, there were
only a few remarks made about the fire,
even after 1t became evident that the gam
ping houses at Jackson City were burning.
He admitted that he knew of Nelson hay-
Ing an interest in the houses, but said that
neither he nor his employer made any at
tempt to eXtnguish the flames. He did not
see Nelson again until two days later. The
testimony of this witness was regarded a S
among the most important that has been
given since the case opened
Counsel for the commonwealth evidently
recognized that as the others who had tes-
titled to seeing Nelson on Long bridge did
not stop him or speak to him their state
mentS, because of the possibility of a mis-
take in the night time, would not carry as
great weight with the jury as the declara-
ton of a man who claimed to have been
III his company all the time on his drive to
Jackson City. Every endeavor was made
therefore, to shake his statements, but ap-
parently without material success.
Court Orders Recess.
Shortly before l O'Clock counsel for the
defense announced that they had about con-
cluded with their testimony, and Judge
Love ordered a recess. 1t is expected that
the evidence in rebuttaI offered by the
commonwealth will be concluded late this
afternoon. When court meets again tomor-
row morning a 8 o'clock arguments and
prayers for instructions will probably be
commenced. 1t is said the case may be
given to the jury tomorrow afternoon.
The attorneys for the uefense at 2:30 this
afternoon announced that they had con-
cluded direct testimony and the court ad-
journed until tomorrow morning at 8 0 clock.

The idea prevailed for many years that the first newspaper publication in Ala bama was at Huntsville. Further inves- tigation has indisputably given that hon. or to Mobile County. It was on the bor- de: land near where American possession ended and Spanish authority began. With view to getting into Mobile as soon as Mobile city should pass from under Miller and Hood established at Fort stoddard. near where the present Mount Vernon is located. the Mobile Centinel. The cort was on the g. 1872. They were from Georgia and came overland, travelling the old Federal road. They hauled their press and other outfit the entire distance. Quoting from their prospectus. they say. the original intention of the editors was to have ts- sued their paper from the town of Mo b.le; but they cannot yet congratulate their fellow citizens on the possession of that spot. to this country so important other persons can, perhaps, give better reasons why we have it not in posses slen. Until they can announce this de- sirable intelligence their paper will be be is1e, date of No. 16, the paper was still published at Fort Stoddard. It ceased to be published there, tut at what time and whether it was moved to Mobile IS not known MT. Miller appears to have been afterwards connected with a paper at Blakeley but nothing is known or Hood further than his connection with The Centinel. This at that time was an approved way of spelling Sentinel It was four page. four column paper. 11x17 inches. The quality of the paper is good and the printing press work creditable to that period and fairly comparable to that of the present day It would be interesting if time per
 ulitted to make extracts from It's columns. which were filled with editorials ana news items important at that time: MT. Owen has on file in his office at Montgomery Nos. and 16 of Volume l.
 In 1874 a publication in French and Eng fish was established in Mobile by George Childs, and the next in that city Ihe Mobile Gazette and General Advertiser, was by a man named Cotton. in 1916.
 In the later part of the year lSl9 John w. Townsend published in Mobile a pa per which was merged with some other paper in 8 year or two afterward. In l62l-22, The Mobile Daily Patriot was es- tAblished. and shortly afterward The Mo- bile Register, The Morning Chronicle. Mercantile Advertiser. and in addition others that were only short lived. The Register and The Patriot were merged into The Register and Patriot in the late thirties, and The Mercantile Advertiser and The Morning Chr 'nicle into The Ad- vertiser and Chronicle about the same time They ccnti.lued to ocSupy the iiel1 as rival journals until during the W!nte- of lsel-s2, when The Register and The Advertiser united their fortunes Che dual nomenclature of both papers having long previously been ahandoned), and became thencefortn known as The Register and Advertiser under the control of John Forsyth and Willis c.

There were but few places of sufficient size to be dignified with the name of village when the tide of immigration be- gan to flow in upon Alabama. Of those who came at the time when the lands were first offered for settlement a much larger proportion were blacks than whites. and in corresponding proportion were the and for years there was not sufficient white population to warrant the publi- cation of many papers. This was not the case in the States and territories north and east of Alabama. The great bulk of settlers were white people, be- cause the blacks were kept out by cli- mate as well as by the hostility of the whites themselves. It Is no unusual thing. therefore. to find papers published Alabama which are as old as the States themselves.

ports that he had prepared a demand
in which terms for a settlement of the
big strike were modified. and had for
warded It to j. Pierpont Morgan, with
note saying that the fnancIar would
be given until October 20 to accept the
proposition. There is nothing in that

Philadelphia and found none at work.
On the same train was John Markle.

interests at all of the conferences Of

veraing with sIr Marllle and the min
ers he had reached the conclusion that
the operators had made mistake in
opposing arbitration of their differ

Last night strikers leaders sprung
a surprise. when they caused the ar.

The Tacon theater in Havana. one of
the largest and most famous IN the
Syesterns hemisphere, was built by an
old sreprobate, Marti, who was a no
torious pirate in histday and obtained
immunity for himself by betraying his
comrades linto the hands of the Span

night Marti slipped by the sentry
guarding the palace in Havana and
entered the apartments of the captain
general, whoNwas writing at a table.
when the GOVERNOR general raised his
eyes and sawlthe cloaked figure before
him, he reached for theibell.
"Stop, your excellency" cried the
stranger. 'I am here on a desperate
enterprise I have come TO deliver into
your handscevery pirate on the Cuban
coast upon one conditional pardon for
myself"
"You shall have IT," was the answer.
"But who are youT
II am Marti, and rely upon the
promise you have given me-"
Preparatory to this interview Marti
had appointed a rendezvous for the
different bands, to which he conducted
the Spanish force. and every pirate
was captured and righteously garroted.

rhn WnrId,s Grentest Choir.

Russia boasts Of the worlds greatest
choir. 1t is in the cathedral of Alex
ander NevsH in st. Petersburg and is
attached to a convent erected in honor
of the patron saint of Russia. Its men,
bers are all monks chosen from the
best voices in all the Russian monas-
tories. When a fine singer appears
among the novitiates, he is sent to the
monastery Of Alexander Nevsld, where
he is trained as carefully as an opera
singer and remains there, doing moth
ing except assisting at the music at
mass In the morning and vespers in the
afternoon until he becomes aged, when
he retires on a pension. Some Of the
voices are of marvellous strength and
sweetness, and it is said that some
members OF the choir can shatter a
thin glass into fragments by singing
into 1t, SO powerful are the vibrations
of their tones. The monks are all vege-
tarians. They never eat meat. The
rules of the church forbid them to
shave, and their hair is worn like n
woman's.
