DEDICATION OF
TRINITY REFORMED CHURCH. THURMONl.

symbolical of the tender feeling, the harmony
which will eyer exist between the Saviour
of mankind and the children of men.
On either side are smaller windows neatly
filled with emblems. To the right is double
memorial to Miss Jennie Gernand and Mrs.
J. A. Gernand., presented by Miss Carrie
Boblitz and Mr.. ]. A. Gernand and family.
Symbols-liles and open bible.
TO the left is the memorial to Mrs. ID. 5.
Firor the gift of her daughter, Miss M. Beth
Firor. Symbols-roses and crown.
On same side of church nearest the pulpit
is a memorial to Rev. II. Wissler, first pastor
of Trinity Reid Church, contributed by his
children. The figure composition is after
Hofmann's "Christ in the Garden" and is a
grandly impressive conception of that dra-
matte theme, tending to arouse intense sym.
pathy and deep religious feeling. The Sa-
vour clad in white with drapery of red, is
Encelng alone in the garden. His humble
attitude, His uplifted countenance, His clasp
cd hands, expresses in measure, the agony
of the hour, which agony is intensified by
the very quiet and simplicity of the sur
roundings. The rich dark robes are in
perfect harmony with the moment of su-
rrcme suffering, and the spectator gazing at
the face of Christ, so sad. so full of pathos,
listens to the naudible prayer, "Let this cup
pass from me-; and gazing, is filled with rev.
erence and loyc for film who withstood the
trials of Gethsemane
The corresponding window on north side
of church ornamented by large golden
cross, is a memorial to Rev. and Mrs. N. b..
Glds, given by their daughter, Mrs. G. |.
Creager.

Trusts in Iowa.

Governor Cummins says the Iowa
republican platform proposes ito take
off the tariff on articles in which
monopoly has been created" 1t seeks
in other words to rob the monopoly
trusts of the power to regulate prices
and to exploit home consumers. This
is Governor Cummins' own explanation
of the position of Iowa republicans.
Governor Boies, who is running for
congress, as a democrat in the Hen
derson district, says: 81 shall take my
stand on tariff revision, not advocating
free trade in the full sense the term
conveys, but radical changes in many
of the present schedules. l propose
this as a relief from the trusts which
arc crushing Iowa. l am simply more
radical than the republican revision
ists.'
1t appears from these authentic and
views that aside from Mr..
Henderson there is none of "old
guard" left in Iowa. The Simon pure
tariffite who holds the Dingley tariff
sacred has disappeared from that
state, now that Mr. Henderson has
hoisted the white flag.
If President Roosevelt's tour had
not been prematurely cut short by i'll
ness, he would have visited Iowa, and
he would not have found there a single
supporter of his constitutional-amend
ment and endless delay theory. All
Iowans are following either Governor
Cummins or Ex-Governor Boies.

Panics in Public Places.

A panic followed a fire started by a
cigarette at wedding in Russia, and
over one hundred of the wedding
guests were killed. This is but addi-
tional evidence that panics are not re-
specters of persons-that they may
happen anywhere and at any time.
There are exists in public places in
this town that are wholly inadequate,
and the city authorities should take
steps to have them remedied before a
panic can take place. True, there may
be panic even when large exits are
provided, but adequate exits serve to
keep down panics, and to minimize
their effects when they do arise.
The exit of every building in Bir-
mingham in which large numbers are
apt to gather should be inspected, and
the proper remedy applied. There are
buildings in the city that are positively
a menace to public safety, and the
public authorities may themselves be
to blame If action is not had concern
ing them.

NEGRO VOTERS EXCLUDED.

From the Boston Herald.
The most amazing feature that at
tends the elimination of the colored
voter in the south by the republican
party as a political factor is the little re-
monstrance that is heard on the subject.
The act itself is TO be accounted for as
one of the motives in politics. The re-
publieans of that section, finding that
they could make no Roadway with the
colored people in their service, are en-
gagged in the experiment Of attempting
to succeed without their employment.
This is frankly so treated by the poll
tcians without much regard to the col
ored mans feelings. But there are a
good many men in public life, or con-
nected with the press and the pulpfts of
the nation, who have regarded the exclu-
sion of the colored man from his natural
rights as voter as great moral ques-
ton. and the astounding thing about
their present position is their almost
complete silence on the subject.

Story of sixty-one.

Andrew Cawthon, the well-known ne
gro barber of Selma, tells a war incident
that has hitherto been unpublished" said
Selma man at the Metropolitan.
In 1861 Cawthon was porter at the Gee
house, now the ST. James hotel. William
L. Yancey had been to France on an i'm
portant mission connected with the Con-
federate government, and had returned to
Selma Cawthen met the train that
brought him and took charge of his trunk
and common cracker box, which the
negro marked so as not to lose sight
of it.
"on the same train with Mr.. Yancey
was Lueius Loekett's company en- route
to Shelby Springs to go into camp and
the provisions. etc, belonging to the
company were packed in boxes similar to
the one belonging to Mr.. Yancey. When
Cawthon went to get the box to take it
up to the hotel along with the trunk the
soldiers would not let him have it. claim
ing it belonged to them, so he was COM
PEELED to come off without it.
1.-THE porter did not know Mr.. Yancey
nor did he suspect there was anything
of much value In the old box. When 1t
was found that the box was missing
there was considerable excitement. Cav
thon says that General Pettus, DR.. Ma
bry, DIR. Kent Mr.. Yancey and others
came to him and questioned him closely
about what had become of the box. He
told them the exact facts and they went
away but soon they came to him again.
Finally the company that had taken the
box was communicated with, and the re-
ply came back from the officers that
they had opened the box and found that
it contained only a lot of old papers.
which they would forward. In this box
was perhaps the most important papers
of the eonfederacy, and they had pur-
posely been put into an old unpretentious
receptacle so as to get them through the
custom-house without detection.
when the box disappeared it was
thought that the papers had fallen into
the hands of some secret agent of the
United States government and Cawthon
was suspected of having turned them
over to him. Had the box not been found
1t is likely that the negroes arrest would
have followed and perhaps he would
have been executed"

No lust Cause for a Strike.

It is unfortunate for the Birmingham
district that several hundred miners
employed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company have ceased
work because of the fact that the
company has declined to deduct from
the wages of employees, who refused to
authorize such deduction, for the
benefit of the strikers of the anthra-
cite coal region.
The Age-Herald has consistently de-
Tended and protected all the labor
unions in their demands when such
demands were just. In this instance,
The Age-Herald does not believe that
the Tennessee company, or any other
company, has the right to make de-
duetion from any employees wages for
such purpose without the consent of
the employee. In other words, should
the company make such a deduction,
tho employee, under the law, could re-
cover the same. Neither has the COM
pany the right to discharge man
simply because he will not consent to
contribute to his labor organization.
1t is well for the miners of the Bir-
mingham district, perhaps, to aid their
idle fellow-workmen in the anthracite
region, but 1t is a mistake for them
to punish the mining companies be-
cause of the fact that they cannot
regulate all of their associates in the
mines here. In other words, the con-
test is between the miners themselves,
and it is really unjust to bring the
companies into it and smut down their
mines, causing thereby a great loss of
money at this time.
The Age-Herald hopes that President
Flynn and other officers of the United
Mine Workers will use their best eff
forts to prevent any further cessation
of work for the causes above indi-
Gated
The Tennessee company has neither
the moral nor the legal right to deduct
from a mans wages without his con-
sent. If it established a precedent of
this character, then it could go further
and assess its employees for church and
school purposes and for various other
| purposes without the consent of the
employee. 1t is dangerous precedent,
if established, and the matter should
be pushed no further

STRANGE MAN CAN'T TALK.
Is Not a Mute, But Nobody Knows the
Language He Speaks.

New York, September 25-Physieians at
Bellevue hospital and officials of the out
door poor department are greatly mys-
tilted over the conduct of man who was
taken TO the hospital on Labor Day suf-
fering from malaria. He has not spoken
a word since arriving there.
It was assumed the patient was for
eigner and efforts was made to hit upon
some language he could understand. One
after another was tried without success.
Fifteen different tongues were turned on
him without effect. Finally the sign lam
guage of deaf mutes was brought into
play, but the man evidently understood
what was being done and merely shook
his head.
Efforts are being made to find Koreans
and Esquimaux in the hope of getting
him to talk to them, as nearly everything
else has been tried. Evidently the man
is a recent arrival in the country and
how he got past the immigration officers
is a mystery.

RACE COURSES FORCED OUT.
March Of Progress VIII Soon Do Away
With Famous Tracks.

New York, September 25. There is
hardly doubt, says the Herald. that the
locality of several Of the existing racing
establishments will be very much
changed, perhaps within a year. The sale
of Morris park, the most magnificent
racing enterprise IN America. is now an
accomplished fact. While It is true that
its new owners can put off for a time
the final disposition of it as a race course.
the march Of progress soon will demand
that the theatre of some of the greatest
racing ever seen in this country will ere
long be forced out of existence.
In the same situation is the course at
Gravesend. Streets may any time be
run through that property which already
is hemmed in by residences.
The Coney Island Jockey club is firmly
entrenched in its present situation. while
both Brighton Beach and Aqueduct are
also safe for many years to come, The
opinion is that the leading race courses
of the future will be located further out
on Lond Island.

STUDENTS PLACED IN JAIL.
Turned on Airbrakes of Train and
Smashed Furnishings.

Berkeley, Cal. September 25.-As a re-
suit of riotous diversion of students Of
the University of California one of their
number, Winfield Reed of Santa Bar
barra. Cal. is in jail on a charge of fell
ony and others are likely to be incarce-
rated During a big rally to the football
team about fifty students took possession
of local train, put out the lights. turned
on the hand brakes and demolished the
entire furnishings. Winfield Reed was de-
tected in the act of putting on the air
brake and was arrested. The students
rushed to his rescue and a desperate
fight ensued but Reed was finally placed
in jail The boys tried to storm the
place but were repulsed.
President Wheeler of the university
said he saw no reason why the law
should not take its course in Reeds case,
as his offense was serious. Other arrests
are probable.
