MONEY FOR THE POOR
COUNCIL ApPRoPIATIoN TO
 HELP THE CAUSE.
Organized Charities VIII Meet Con ditions Imposed by the City Government in It's Gift
 of $500.

The action of the City Council in mals- ing conditional appropriation of $500 to the Organized Charities of Montgomery. has given the organization an assured Fu- lure with promise of greater usefulness.
 The organization. since It's inception, has never been realty strong enough to ade. quateIy meet the just demands made upon it's resources. It's highest degree of use- fulness has not been attained, because of It's hampered finances. The organization has been compelled at times. for lack of proper funds, to deny some worthy and just applications. Other worthy calls have been but partially met.
 The Council appropriated at it's Monday night meeting $500 annually to the orgnn- ization. was made upon the condition that similar amount would be raised from private sources. This condition Of the Councils gift was entirely satisfactory to the energetic members of the Society and 1t will be fully met. .....
 The Society has since october l. 1903. raised from private sources $5es.B. Many cases of Restitution have been relieved out Of the funds, but Secretary Gladden. Harrison yesterday estimated that there was still about $4o0 in the treasury of the organization. With the appropriation of the City Council the organization has the assurance of 500, comfortable condition of the treasury. <
 Calls that are not to be denied are con- tinuaIly made upon the Society. The inl- proved condition of the treasury offers a wider field of usefulness to the Society.

DOES NOT FEAR DEATH
FRANK DU1NRss LAUGHS AT
 E1ECT1xO CHAIR.
Calmly Tells of Deliberate Murders and Says He Expected That His Life would Pay
 the Forfeit.

New York. Dec 22.-with a verdict that sends Frank n. Burness. a self confessed murderer to the electric chair, . jury before Judge Crane this Florniue ended one of the most sensational mur- der trials heard in Brooklyn for months.
 Burness's fourth murder was commit ted November 10, last, when he shot Captain George B. Townsend of the schooner Charles K. Buckley because the latter would not pay him $6.30 the prisoner alleged to be due him.
 This and other Killings were calmly de- scfihed by Burness to-day on the wit. ness stand, and the murderer insisted that he did the deed with reconciliation and in 3 full realization of the conse- duences.
 The jury brought in verdict of mur- der in the first degree. Burness emiied broadly when the jury was being polled. Judge Crane said he would sentence Bur ness Monday and he asked the judge if he would be permitted to say come thing. On being given the privilege. he said:
 '.There may be an idea in the minds of some of the jurors that hold . grudge against them for having found me guilty. wish to say that I don't feel in that way in the slightest and Qaughingiy) all I can say Is wish you all q merry Christmas.
 When asked what he thought would be the result of his act. he cooly re- piled:
 "l only see one way out of it.
 "What is that?" s
 "why. the chair. of course" he said.

 Jefriss Fight.
 The hstie battle between Ccrbett and JeffRies for the worlGs championship at San Francisco last summer is nightly DOT traYed this week at McDonald's Theatre In perhaps the best moving pictures ever seen in Montgomery.
 The ring scenes are remarkably clear and distinct. There Is absent from the pictures the sputtering and breaking which has been regarded as FegRettable but unavoidable feature of moving pic- ture show. The pictures show the heavy weights in every incident, every detail of the ten rounds of iighting at San Francis leo.
 The moving pictures. however. are only one feature of the clever vaudeville. which is on the boards for the week at NcDOn- aids.
 Another number on the program came in for q round of hearty applause last night was the balancing trapeze act of Benjamin Beno. His act would be credit able fn any class of vaudeville.
 There were other good things on the program. including Gertrude Davis in late Illustrated songs. Francis Raymond, 6 clever little soubrettes Vivian De Monto In striking poses. some good comedy work by the Kings. and good act of 5ngglins and hoop rolling 6y Bartin0 ana HnhA- ington.

 In responding to the toast "The State" :" the Governor said among other things:
 with many things that President Roosevelt has done, indeed from perhaps most of the acts of his administration differ and differ materially, but there are two things which most heartily ehdrose
 "I endorse the establishment of the Department of the Gulf and I most heartily endorse the recognition of the ir- dependence of Panama, which means the construction of an isthmian canal, thing in which we as Southerners are most deeply interested. It Is not and cannot be made a party matter. We want the canal and we are in a fair way to get 1t, and If we do not get it now 1t will be our fault.'S

University's Disposal.
 Chicago, Dee. 22--It was announced to-day at the convention of the Univer- sity of Chicago, that donations amount ing to q. 600 had been received from John Rockefeller, founder of the Uni. versity. Of this amount 0.500,0o0 in real estate. improved and unimproved. in the immediate vicinity of the university. was formally transferred by Mir. Rockefeller. The balance is in cash for current ex- penses.
 Hon. George W. Ross. premier of on- tario, delivered an address at the Uni- veFsity to-day on ''The political cleavage of North America" Speaking of a move ment recently inaugurated by Joseph Chamberlain to federate the English col onies on the basis of imperial protection against the world, Premier Ross said:
 Tt requires ho argument to show that the establishment of commercial rela- tions within the empire on the basis of the preferential tariff would greatly strengthen the ties which bind all the colonies, including Canada, to the Elm pire and remove still further in the back ground whatever Inducements remain for closer political or commercial relations with the United States .
 Premier Ross said that he did not de- sirs to leave the impression that the Comedians looked with aversion upon the American form of government and the activity which this nation has exhibited in every department of human enter prise, but cited many instances in which Canada had followed the lead of the United States greatly to its own advant- age,
