LANDS OF THE FRIARS INTERESTING QUESTION OVER THEIR ACQUISITION. Governor Taft May Visit the Vatican to Arrange With the Officials of
 the Catholic Church for
 Their Purpose.

Washington. March 27.-Archbishop Sbaretti and his secretary Monsignor Frederick. called at the War Department today and had a short conference with Secretary Root
 It appears that the issue now presented to the government here is one of extreme interest to the Catholic Church. Prima- whether the settlement of the Philippine Friar land problem shall be effected in Manila or whether it shall be adjusted at Rome. Archbishop Sbaretti, becoming Archbishop of Manila, will be the nomi- nal owner of all the lands and real prop erty belonging to the Friarss orders In the Philippines. Therefore he will be the person to whom application for a pur- chase of lands would ordinarily be made.
 But another proposition is under con sideration at the White House. and that is to have the proceedings conducted at the Vatican by the regligious superiors of Archbishop Sbaretti on the one hand and by a legal representative of the United States government on the other In such case it has been suggested that Governor Taft might stop at Rome on his return This proposition is understood to be strongly urged by Archbishop Ireland and Archbishop O'Gorman, who woull possibly. in the event of its adoption, ac- company the first representative Of the United States government to visit the Vatican in an official capacity It is ex- pected that the administration will decide as between these conflicting propositions before the departure from Washington of Archbishop Sbaretti.

 Sneak thieves have been getting thelr work in Oxford. for several days past and housekeepers are in terror. Several betty thefts have occurred in that town are looking out for the thieves. Nothing thieves seem to watch when a person leaves their home without a guardian and it Is then that an entry is made and some small things are taken.
 There is a good prospect of Anmston securing another large cotton industry through the efforts of William II. Zinn. Yesterday Mir. Zinn entertained two Eastern manufacturers who are looking for a suitable location for large mill now in the East which is to be moved to the South. The gentlemen were very favorablv impressed with the advantages of Anniston and will return here shortly for d better examination. Mir. Finn tried to secure this plant several years ag' for Anniston. but the changing or its location was deferred until later.

STRUCK BY FREIGHT TRAIN.
Dr. Lane and Dr. Horn Have Mar
 row Escapes from Death.

Montevsllo. March 27.- (SpeciaD--While returning from court at Columbiuna last night Dr. Lane and Dr. Horn came near losing their lives at the crossing half mile north of Calera on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
 At this crossing there are several side tracks and Drs. Lane and Horn coming from Columbiana in buggy started across the tracks. which they supposed clear It being dark, with no lights at the crossing, they could not see that a
 freight train had blocked the other side until they drove up against it. They
 then .endeavored to turn back when an engine backing up the track next to the freight train. came upon them with ter rife speed and ran into the vehicle knock ing them out and tearing the buggy to pieces Dr. Lane was rendered uncon- scious for a time and sustained severe internal injuries which may result seri ousIy. Dr. Horn fared better and escaped with some bruises but he, too. is laid mp. They both state that the engine car ried no lights on the rear and had no one to warn them of the approaching danger. ..
 A conveyance was secured and brought
 the wounded home where physicians at tended them. -..--.
 pr. Lane is one of the most prominent nhvsicians here and Dr. Horn enJoys d large practice as a dentist.

AGAINST BACON BILL,
Merchants Exchange of Memphis
 Take Action.

Memphis. Tenn, March 27-The Mer- chants Exchange of this city took i'm portant action in reference to proposed amendments to the interstate commerce act. The Exchange declared unanimously against the Bacon bill or any other bill that confers the rate making power on the commission.
 The resolutions say: "The comforting of the rate making power on the entire railways of the country ard the various and diversified interests that are more or less conflicting. is too vast propo- sition for any one commission to give careful and just determination to-
 Tt is more than probable that should Congress pass the bill above mentioned that it would force pooling of business at all competitive and functional points which virtually does away with compe- tition and almost universally results il higher rates"

keep their looks much longer than
they did. The woman of forty, even
of fifty. is not SO old as the woman
of thirty few generations back. The
Juliet of to-day is not fourteen, but
twenty-five at least. Heroines of nov
els of the formerly popular age Of
eighteen are now at a premium. The
young woman in play is never the
centre of interest or sympathy Gen
orally she is a raw, almost ludicrous
specimen of silly girlhood, and is rep
resented as barren of all those at
fractions which the married woman
double her age possesses in dangerous
measure. This particular writer
seems to think that this is a purely
modern development, and it is, to a
great extent. but the young beauty
die not nave it all her own way in old
times; witness the power of Cleo
patra. The fact that men begin life
so much later-in Nelson's time boys
went to sea when they had reached
the ripe age of siX-accounts in part
for the domination of women who
ar, no longer young.
