Few Pistol Cases.

The docket of the Birmingham Police Court for the month of February shows a marked decrease in the convictions for carrying concealed weapons. There were only three convictions for carrying con- cealed pistols. one for carrying a con ceaIed razor and one case of arrest for carrying a pistol not loaded.
 This presents a marked contrast to the prevalence of this crime before the extreme limit of the law was regularly imposed on all guilty persons by Judge Feagin. Before the fine of SlOO and sen tence of 1So days extra was invariably imposed by the judge, there were often as many as thirty cases a month or one a day

The News of Birmingham

Birmingham, March 3.-(Special )-The official returns of the Democratic munich pal primary held here yesterday show that the victories of Mayor w. M. Dren- nen for nomination for his third term, over Alderman George B. Ward and w. E. Wier Captain of Police for Chief of Police over Chief of Police Austin, were more pronounced than at first predicted. Full vote shows as follows: Drennen, l. 944; Ward, 1,O69, majority for Drennen, S75. Wier. 2,002; Austin, 1,036, Wier's ma jority. 966.
 There will be a second primary in the Second and Ninth wards, the candidates for aldermen in those wards failing to get majority of the votes cast. In the Second Ward the contest will be between John w. o Neill and C. T. Rainbow. In the Ninth Ward the contest will be be- tween G, H. Estes and Thomas Simms.
 There Is some doubt as to the police commission. The city Democratic Execu- tive Committee will meet tomorrow night and several matters pertaining to the pri- mary of yesterday will have to be set tied.
 The signal defeat of Chief Austin is taken as an indication that his work dur ing the past two years is not endorsed. The campaign just over was devoid of mud singing.
 Captain Wier, who is nominated for Chief of Police, which is considered the same as election is a staunoh member of the Methodist Church, South. He went to Dallas, Tex, last year as a dele gate to the General Assembly of that church. He has been on the police force here for many years and is held high in the esteem of the people. During his campaign he never uttered one word to the discredit of his chief and would not permit a single member of his campaign committee to abusive language to- wards his opponent in any shape. manner or form. Chief Austin did not assail Captain Wier. but his campaign com mittee printed advertising announcing that many opponents of the chief were the dsreputable people,
 The election takes place in May. Dur ing his term of office Chief Austin raided more gambling houses than any chief ever in office in Birmingham.

twenty-one convictions in all, eighteen negro drivers and four white drivers. The fines in these cases for the first of- fense range from s to $15. depending upon the degree of cruelty
 The docket further shows a prevailing disposition of negro hack drivers to go to sleep while in charge of their vehicles. Twelve convictions for this offense in twenty eight days is the record of the po- lice. Several of the defendants are known to have been repeatedly fined for this violation.

The trouble Is that marriages are not all
made in heaven. though matrimony is d.

THE AMERICAN TOURIST AS A

Another habit Of the American TOURIST
that Is worthy OF study IL its tendency TO
crow. This wakes the Europeans up. and
causes them to lodge complaints against ie
in the columns Of the Times.
Fortunately. this has no effect. and % the
American tourist goes about prociaiming
that 1t is the cock Of the walk. and point

tubs to tin basins and elevators to climbing
stairs.

Tho American Tourist in its perfection Is
Indigenous only to European countries.
where II may be found occupying the best
rooms in the hotels and paying two prices
for everything.
A specimen of It, It Is true. is occasionally
found in the United States. but this IL OF
a poor, weak, mean variety, that Is not
for a moment to be compared with the
magnificent specimens that one may see
daily being skinned along the Rue de Ia
PAX or Bond street.
Beyond the general classification. natur-
alists have been unable to assign this ami
NAL to any individual genus. owing to the
immense number Of different varieties. each
with its distinctive earmarks. that compose
the species.
There is. for instance. a variety that suf-
fers itself to be held up and robbed by
anybody with title (genus easy markis).
another that loudly demands the most ex-
pensive food and wines and the best table
In the swell restaurants genus blowhardis),
and another that haggles with the walters
over tips and secretes the candle ends in
its luggage genus pikeris).
Attention should also be called in this
connection to the popularity that in this
species the females far outnumber the
males, and exercise a dominating power
over the males that has caused European
writer's to declare them to be the finest
specimens extant Of the Genus Henpeckis.
The appearance Of the American tourist
is so distinctive as to be readily recognized
at sight. The females may be distinguished
