Distinguished Educator
 To Visit Birmingham

Dr. Heinrich Waentg, professor of political economy in the University of Griefswald, Germany, who is making a tour of this country, win arrive in Bir- mingham this week.
 His visit to America is in the interest of the German government. and he Is in vestigating labor problems and other economic subjects. He will investigate the steel and iron interests of Birming- ham.
 Dr. Waentig has recently visited Gin cinnati and is now in Louisville, ky, where he is being extensively entertain ed.
 Among the events in his honor was a dinner given by Miss Ellen c. Semple, and from whom Dr. Waentig brings a let ter of introduction to Mir. and Mrs. Frank Woodruff Miss Semple was a fellow student of pr. Waentig at the University of Leipsic where they followed the same course of study.
 Mrs Woodruff says of Miss Semple that she is a young woman of whose achievements her friends feel very proud. After graduating from Vassar College she went to Leipsic to continue her studies, where she received unusual hon. ors. In a large class attending certain lectures in political economy she was the only woman.
 
 Miss Semple has devoted much of her time to writing. Her articles and treat ises have been accepted by various scien- tific publications in this country, and re- cognition of a high order has been given to her work by the Royal Geographical Society of London.
 A few years ago when at the Universi- ty of Chicago Mrs. Woodruff says she invited Miss Semple to be her guest at dinner one evening" Dr. Lester Ward. who was then giving course of lectures at the university was asked by Mrs. Woodruff, or rather Miss Scott, as- she was then, if he would not like to meet Miss Ellen Semple
 ~ should be very glad to meet her. was pr Wards reply, but I already know Miss Semple through her writ tings..'
 ''This," said Mrs. Woodruff, Looming from the Herbert Spencer of America, as pr. Ward is called, was indeed a | tribute"

News and Gossip of Society In the Great Lenten Season and the Do-
 lnes of the Fashion able World.
BY ANNIE KENDRicK WALKER.

Alabama women who are in deep sym pathy with the work directed against the evils of child labor in the South and par ticularly in Alabama, have no doubt kept in touch with the correspondence of the Alabama committee on child labor which has appeared from time to time in the press of New England.
 The appeal of this committee to the people of New England resulted in a correspondence in the Evening Transcript ef Boston in which the articles from the Alabama committee were discussed by Mir. J. Howard Nichols of Boston. offi- cially connected with the mill at Ala bama City. The appeal was reprinted in a recent issue of the Monthly Leader, and brough forth a reply from MT. Horace S. Sears of Boston and treasurer of the West Point Manufacturing Company of Langdale, Ala Both articles were replica to by the Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy of Montgomery, chairman of the Alabama Child Labor Committee. the entire cor respondence having recently been printed in pamphlet form, the Alabama commit tee welcoming a full discussion of the subject
 Those who have not fully inves- tigated the conditions of the factories and mills of the State. but who are be- ginning to realize -he increasing evils of child labor in the South, will, after a careful perusal of the arguments for and against the protection of children in the mills as set forth in this correspondence, cf cfiII deeper investigations. They will realize that although statistics show the number of children employed in the mills of Ala bama, operated by Northern capital, far exceeds the number employed iii mills owned by Southern capital, still primari- ly we are responsible for this economic wrong.
 The correspondence has already &C., complished one of tine objects of the Child Labor Commit ee-that of awaken ing public interest. It also reveals that the conditions described by the committee are not exaggerated, but, cn the other hard, have alre ady been recognized as existing by certain officials connected with Alabama mills and factories
 The Child Labor Committee in it's ap- peal to the people of New England in no way attempts to shift the biamea bu, points out that the responsibility of the social wrong should be shared by New England: .f s t.
 Such protective legislation as we oncd had was repealed by the Legislature as a concession to the demands of the rep resentatives of a mill recently removed from the East and operated here by Mas sachusetts cauital. While the propor- ton of the children under twleve in our Northern and Southern mills is approx irnately the same, yet in the mills repre- senting Northern nvcstments, the actual number of such children employed is twice as great as the number found lu the mills controlled by Southern capital In the struggle for reform legislation be- fore the last Legislature, the friends of the child labor bill were twice given a hearing before committees In both cases 2, the bill was killed .n committee.

A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.

A dying. patient RECEIVERS through
the interposition OF humble German.
Chicago, Nov. 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. G., very
reputable and widely-known physi-
clan, living on c. Street, was call
ed to attend very complicated case
OF Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found man about forty
years of age, lying in Frustrated
and serious condition. with his whole
frame dangerously affected with .ae
painful disease. He prescrlbed for
the patient, but the man continued to
grow worse, and on Sunday evening
he was found to be in very alarm
ing condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly infiam-
ed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with
the aid of three or four persons. The
weight of the clothing was so painful
that means had to be adopted to keep
it from the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be Of no avail, and left the
house, the members Of the family
following him to the door, weeping.
Almost Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German. He had heard Of the despair
of the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth bottle Of St. Jacobs
Oil. The poor wife applied this rem
edy. The first application eased the
patient very much: after few hours
they used 1t again, and, wonder Of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was well and out. When the doctor
called few days after, he was in
deed surprised.

Moods of Indian Territory.

Washington, Nov. S.-The annual
report of j. George Wright, United
States inspector for Indian territory,
says that the greatest need of the ter
ritory is educational facilities for nom
citizens. The report calls attention to
the urgent need for some legislative
provision requiring deeds, mortgages,
ETC., to be recorded, and legislation
for the protection and preservation of
game. The complicated condition of
affairs in the Indian territory will
necessarily continue until the present
work of allotting lands and disposing
of town lots is completed and the vari-
Gus tribal governments, with their laws,
are eXtinguished.

Catskill, N. Y, November 10th.-Ul-
ster and Greene counties are ringing
with the news of the wonderful recov-
cry of George F. Ayers, who lives at 16
Division street, in this city. One year
ago Mr.. Ayers was suffering from
Bright's Disease Of the Kidneys, and
the doctors gave him little relief and
less hope. To-day Mr.. Ayers is as
we'll as man could wish. He tells the
following story:
About a year ago was at West
Camp, sick with Bright's Disease and
without hope Of ever being better,
when an old gentleman from Bath,
N. Y, advised me to take Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, telling me they had cured
him of the same disease.
81 had tried so many remedies that
I was past hoping and told him so,
but when he bought me box Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and coaxed me to
try them I did so just to humor his
whim.
THAT was the means OF saving my
life. l took that box and half dozen
more. Thanks to that old man and
Dodd's Kidney Pills, am cured"

DEFENDS LIVESTOCK RATES.
President of St. Paul Road Before
Commerce Commission.
ALL FREIGHT RATES TOO LOW.

Chicago, Nov. ga. G. Bird, third
vice-president of the St Paul road,
took u bold stand before the interstate
commerce commission when that body
began an investigation into rates on
cattle and packing house products be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river.
Mr.. Bird was the first witness of i'm
portance before the commission, and
when asked if he desired to defend the
reasonableness of the st. PauPs live
stock rates he declared that they were
not reasonable.
mot only are our live stock rates
unreasonable" he declared, "but all
our freight rates today are unreasona-
Sle, because they are entirely too low
to compensate for the service rendered..
All freight rates should be raised, and
i am surprised that the railroads do
not make combined effort and raise
them"
This statement surprised the men,
bers of the commission and they
Immediately started to ascertain Mr..
Bird, reason. The witness stated that
it was unfair to take the past two
years as a basis from which to judge
the fairness of rates and the fairness of
remuneration derived by the railroads,
for during that period the volume of
traffic had greatly increased, whereas
before that period railroading had not,
as general proposition, been re-
munerative. With respect to cattle
rates, Mr.. Bird asserted that cattle did
not now and had not for years paid
their just proportion of transportation
charges, and that to further reduce the
rates of cattle would be to make u bad
situation worse. When asked what
governed the scientific making of rates
he replied that he had not seen the
tine in twenty-five years when rates
could be made on scientific basis. On
the contrary, rates are always based
upon competition, comparison and
compromise.

OUTLOOK FAVORED MCGUIRE.
Beloved That omcia, Count VIII Not he
Required.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 10-Early on
Saturday morning there were strong
indications to believe that Mcclure is
elected delegate by n majority OF about
800.
Ogical returns from all counties had
not yet been obtained, but conserva-
tive estimates repeatedly received at
the republican headquarters from conn-
ties where the official count had not
been concluded lead republicans to be-
come confident that Mcclure is safely
elected. While Chairman Nose Ander-
son and Secretary Alexander, OF the
democratic committee, refuse to con-
ccde McGuire's election, the best posi-
BILE figures made by them refuse to
give Cross a majority exceeding 80.
Based upon reports received it is not
believed that it will require an official
count to settle the matter, as McGuire
seems so much in the lead. Chairman
Anderson is still talking that it will
require an official count.
Governor Tom Ferguson said:
~ believe that Mcclure is elected.
1t may possibly require an Official
count to decide the matter, but hard
ly think So 1t will require decided
change in several counties to defeat
him now, and this is improbable"

Is 1t MdGuire or Cross.

Guthrie, Nov. Son the morning OF
Nov. 6. the election of Mr.. Cross as
delegate to congress was practically
conceded, Mr.. Mcclure being about
the only prominent leader to still feel
assured of his election. Mr.. Flynn and
the Oklahoma City Times-J Journal con-
coded that Cross was elected. On the
morning of November there was
nearly as strong and general belief
that Mcclure is elected; the prevailing
opinion being that there could be no
definite decision except from the Off
cial returns.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Manila news
papers state that the Ladrones are
making more trouble than ever before
in the Philippines. They occasionally
dress as constabulary officers and prey
upon defenseless natives. The paper
says that all bona fide insurgents have
returned to ways of peace and art
maintaining at least semblance of a
law-abiding career. In order to
remedy the evils the constabuary is
to be increased to such an extent that
the lawless bands may be hunted down.
