to agree in case they secured the con tract not to exact the prices in the Coun tv contracts but to sell under State prices. The agreement was made in eacf instance.
 As a further saving to the counties the Commission secured from the bidders the extension of the time in which second hand books may be exchanged for books under the new system. This time has been extended to one year in which time the books will be exchanged for new books. half price being allowed for the old books.
 The Commission yesterday changed the adoption of the copy books. which had been previously made. The change was made on account of a misunderstanding of the prices made by the bidders whose series were first adopted. The first copy books adopted were the Manual Review, Of Silver Burdette & Go. The prices or iginally made were 5 and 8 cents There was some misunderstanding. however, as to the price.
 - In their stead the. New Era series, of Eaton & Co.,. were adopted. The New Era series will be and cents. The New Era series were first in the report of the Sub-C Commission.

CITIES ARE PLEASED
MOBILE, SELMA AND MoNraoM-
 FRY SATISFIED WITH BOOKS.
Schools of These Cities Will Not Ask to Be Excluded from Opera. tion of Uniformity
 Law

The cities of Montgomery, Mobile and Selma have notified the State Text Book Commission that their school authorities are pleased with the adoption of the Commission ard 1t will be accepted for use in the public schools of those cities. The adoption has greatly lessened the cost of school books in those counties. Under the law cities with more than 5.000 inhabitants have the right to appeal to the Board to have their schools ex- cused from the operation of the uniform text book law. As originally drawn, no such provision was made. cut while the hill was before the House the amendment granting the special provision was put in the bill and accepted by. the Lesisla- ture. The amendment provided that the schools should have the right to petition the Board to have their schools excused from using the books adopted under the uniform school book law. The Commis- sion had the right to rejeS or grant the petition. If a city should be granted its petition the Board could adopt other books for 1t or approve the books adopt ed by the local school authorities.
 The friends of the public schools of Birmingham and Montgomery were very active in supporting this amendment. In the larger cities, city systems of school hooks have been adopted which gave com plete satisfaction, the books being sold to the pupils at lower rate than the usual market price. Ths school author tiles feared to make any change. The adoption by the Commission has, how ever, met with favor by three of the im- portant cities of the State and will be put into use at the beginning of the next scholastic year.
 In some of the cities 1t is said the &C., tion of the Commission will reduce the sity prices from 40 to 50 per cent.
 The Committee went about its work carefully and through caution saved the State a large sum. In thirty-two coun- ties of Alabama there is County uniform tty. In those counties a contract has been entered into between the County educational authorities and the publish CTS who have the s'ounty contracts for supplying books. In every instance the prices paid for school books are higher than those which will prevail under State uniformity.
 To save the public patrons in those counties from paying higher price than would have to be paid in other counties the State Commission called before It all bidders for the State contract. They were summoned before the Commission before any of the contracts for a State system were awarded. The bidders were asked

MORE PRIVACY

To Be Enjoyed at the White House. Washington Telegram to The New York
 World.
 It is the present intention to close the north grounds of the White House to the public as soon as the improvements now being made are finished.
 This was talked of during the recon struction of the White House. but the President hesitated to put the order into effect through fear of storm of public disapproval Since the completion of the east terrace. through which visitors en- ter and leave the East Room. the historic north door of the mansion has been used as a private entrance. but people have been allowed to wander around the grounds. as formerly.
 Mrs. Roosevelt and the children, espe- cially Miss Alice have been annoyed at times by people in the grounds peering through the front door and the windows of the private dining room. and 1t is un- derstood to he in response to their appeal that the grounds are to ie closed when the driveway now being put down is com peted.
 The carriage gates will be closed and policemen will be stationed at the small CT gates to keep out every one but mem- bers of the Presidents family and their callers and personal friends. The changes that are now being made will be finished before July l.
 Visitors to the White House then will be admitted tu inc East Room for four hours in the day as now. but they will enter and leave through the east ter race, and that IS all of the White House and it's surroundings they will be able to see at close range. The north grounds will then be as private as the south grounds have been made under Mir. Roosevelt The north grounds have never been closed to the public. President Cleveland closed the south grounds during his sec ond administration because he said the people passing through annoyed the chill dren. MT. Mckinley threw them open again. and they remained open until Mir Roosevelt came in.
 The line of trees that will be run along the new driveway will make less of the

GOOD TAX SHOWING.
Settlement by Collector of Jefferson County.

Settlement by Collector of Jefferson
 County.
 Collector J. B. Francis of the County of Jefferson has made a remarkable setle- ment of the enormous State taxes with the State Auditor. To collect this great amount 1t was not necessary for the State to bid in a single foot of land for taxes.
 The report of Collector Francis Is also remarkable in other features. In Jefferson County a total of $325. .S10.51 was collected. This was collected from the following sources: General taxes. s23e. .65; soldiers tax. $43.1731S: school taxes. $43,19S.6s. The poll tax was s10606.65 Out of this great amount. the insolvents were only S0S.2O and the errors only s6Sl.H
 These low figures in the opinion of of1- cials in the Auditors office reflect great credit upon Mir. Francis's management of his office in view of the fact that the to- tai assessment in the big county was $Sss. 317
 While in Jefferson County no land has been bought by the State for the past year. Montgomery County has a still more remarkable record. In the past three years the State has not been compelled to bid in a single piece of property.
 Other collectors who made settlements with the Auditor yesterday are Aaron Bell of Clay. J. A. Woodward of Tallade- ga. H. M. Coffey of Lowndes and B. F. Connor of Coffee.

Historical Peggy o'Neal

Ruskin claims in his essay, Sesame and Lilies" that there has never been a true hero in fiction. He argues that the es- sential requisites of heroism are wanting
 in the makeup of man, and that woman only is truly unselash. He points to countless heroines. but picks famous he- roes of fiction so to pieces that their char acters are pictured to us as sprdid and commonplace. It has often been argued as to just what form of novel is the most popular with the reading public. The sue
