BuTLERs' wAY-uP WAGES.
The Pay Given Them in America Is
 Twice as High as in Europe.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 There are many complaints nova days about the high and ever higher wages demanded by English and French buffers in this country. The grumblers, as rule, are women who have lived abroad, visited much in the best private houses and kept house in the English and French capitals. They are familiar with conditions in Europe and are apt to compare New York prices with foreign standards.
 The colored butler in New York be- gan to be displaced by the English but Ter about a quarter of a century ago Today there is scarcely a New York family with fashionable aspirations that is willing to dispense with the services of an imported butler. This probably is the reason why the buffers wages have been doubled almost in a decade and why he is paid about twice as much over here as in Europe.
 Said a New York woman, who has lived much abroad, when the question was up the other day: T pay my but Ter $50 a month and nay second man $40. I have friends who pay their but Ter $100 month.
 "So far as my experience goes, it is impossible to get a first-class man un- der the sum l pay. The men I have tried who asked $40 or $50 a month were practically useless when it came to a question of elaborate entertain ments. They were fit only for the post of second man.
 At one time it was not so. Ten years ago could get splendid Eng fish or French butler for $50. I sup. pose it is the increasing demand for good buffers that has sent prices up, but all the same I think the present scale of wages paid to them is out rageous.
 lover in England almost the very highest price paid to butler is $50 month or what would be equivalent oI fifty American dollars. And to re- ceive so much he must be an expert the sort of butler, in fact, one seldom sees in New York.
 "The mapority get only $50. And as a rule, the English buffers duties are heavier than those of a butler in America. In Scotland, Ireland and on the continent wages are lower if any thing than in England.
 "Yet were these very men to cross the ocean they would ask and get, too at least $S0 month, and the less ac- complished of their kind, who at home are paid $30, would get at least $50
 How about the American butler Well, there are so few American but

Talked Briefly and Informally
 on Matters of Legislation
MR PLATT ALSO CALLED
Cannon VIII Not Interfere With All Financial Legislation If Elected
 Speaker of the House.
 Platt Will Not Talk.

Oyster Bay, N. r, July 22.-While ad- hitting before he left for New York to- night that proposed financial legislation had been under consideration today, Jo- seph G. Cannon, probable speaker of the next house, who spent the day with the President, insisted that his call had been principally social
 Matters of legislation. both financial and general were discussed briefly and informally, he said, but no definite con- clusions were reached. MT. Cannon said 1t was not certain whether the house would take up for consideration financial legislation at the extra session in Mo- vember. That could be determined finally only by the house itself.
 It has been stated that MT. Cannon is opposed to the agitation of any financial questionand would exercise his power as speaker of the house, after elections to prevent any legislation looking to changes in the present currency system. These statements, it can be said do not reflect accurately his views. He does not ap- prove of some of the proposed financial measures, but he intimates that if there
  favor of currency legislation he will not be found standing in the way of it.
 He has strong opinions regarding changes in the currency system, but he declined at this time to enter into any discussion of them. He said he was not in the east for the purpose of considering the financial question and did not expect to have conferences with anybody about 1t. His business in the east, he said, was personal but while in this section of the country he would investigate some mat ters relating to government works and improvements.
 Senator Platt of New York. who also called on President Roosevelt tonight, said that he had come to Oyster Bay to conclude 8 conference begun with the President In Washington concerning some political matters in New York state. These matters, he added, were not in shape for public discussion. In part they related to appointments to be made by the President.
 MT. Platt declared that every republi- can in New York was supporting the President freely and enthusiastically, and he had no more doubt of his election than he had of his nomination. As to the organization of the republican national committee, the senator said that Senator Hanna, in his judgment. would be se- lected chairman, and he had no doubt MT. Hanna would consent to serve again.

Memphis, Tenn, July 22. = News was brought to the city tonight of the lynch ing of John Gilbert a negro, Monday af- ternoon near Pinckney Landing, Ark, thirty miles south of this city. Gilbert 1t is charged, was implicated in the shoot ing of II. J. Hubert. a prominent white planter.

unique and most interesting institution for the promotion of temperance and sobriety. It originated here i'll 1869, and has not only fourished, but has put forth its branches in many other localities. It is the Orcsr of tho Knights of Temperance. It's principles, which are in many respects entirely different from those of any other tenn perance order, are as follows:
 It does not pledge it's members to abstain from intoxicating liquors for life nor for any fixed period of time. It prohibits the use, by it's members, of intoxicating liquors as beverage only so long as they remain connected with the order. It leaves the consid- eration of the right to manufacture, purchase or sell intoxicating liquors with the conscience of the individual member. While it breaches and prac- tices temperance, 1t does not attempt to make persons temperate by force, but by moral suasion only. It assists it's members in securing employment, takes care of it's sick and buries its dead One of it's advantages is that it keeps no oppressive obligation hang ing over the head of an individual. He is not bound for any specified time; he can quit whenever he may choose. It is wonderful what an effect this complete liberty has on men. Many a time members have said: "I will re- sIgn next week." but when the time comes he postpones for another week, anu so they go on for years, knowing tAs.s they can quit at any time. It has made an excellent record in this city, and Is heartily commended to all who want to stop the drink habit and still possess some will and conscience.

lers that they scarcely count. Occa- sionaily "a young man born here of English or French parents has pre- sented himself for the post of second man. and in that capacity has done very well, but so far I have not had an American butler apply. 1 wonder why more American men don't go into training for the work. Pm sure it pays enough"
 At an intelligence office that pro vides buffers 1t was learned that the Englishman was considered the most desirable butler, and next came the Frenehman.
 No family" said the manager, "that is in the habit of entertaining can get satisfactory butler under $S0 It IS perfectly true that buffers wages have gone up steadily in the last five years in America, but the American women themselves are most to blame for it.
 T have many a time overheard customer offer a butler she was par tieularly anxious to get $5 or $10 more month than his usual wages. Nat urally, after that the man would re- fuse to take lower sum in any place to which he went"

Property Becomes Valuable as
 Finances Are Exhausted
ADMITS THE INDEBTEDNESS
New Company Was In Process of Formation When the Creditors Avalled Themselves of op-
 portunIty to BaIk Plans.

A petition filed in the Circuit court of the United States yesterday by Vaughan & Davidson, attorneys of Birmingham, in behalf of certain clients and against the Lucille Coal company, is likely to cause a ripple of excitement in certain individual quarters
 Lucille Coal company. whose property is located near Lucille, Bibb county, Ala bama, and has headquarters in Ensley, is indebted to J. F. Appling of Ensley, and Norman Morrison and F. J. Laugh of Birmingham in the aggregate sum of $179s. and owes in addition about $6OO). The creditors above named brought suit to have the company adjudged bank rupt
 Admits Indebtedness.
 Immediately after the petition was filed the company made written admission of the indebtedness alleged in the pe- tition and it's inability to pay the same. The company further filed a written statement that it was willing to be ad- judged a bankrupt on the grounds stated and waived notice of application for the appointment of a receiver.
 An application for the appointment of a receiver was immediately filed, asking that a receiver be appointed to take possession of the property at Lucille. The clerk referred the same to N. w. Trim ble, referee in bankruptcy who ap- pointed T. H. Moore of Ensley and W. T. Simmons of Birmingham as receivers. They gave bond last evening"
 Mr. Moore is a practical mining ope- rator and MT. Simmons is vice president of the Alabama Grocery company.
 The Mine Valuable.
 The property is said to be very valua- ble, having five-foot vein of coal of ex- tremely fine quality. It has lately been worked under longtime lease. The property did not show up well at first, but the lessee struck the rich vein just as his resources were exhausted. It is said that the lessors expecting that de- fault would be made in the-payments due yesterday, had already arranged to , form a new company. It is stated that interesting developments may be expect- ed as yesterdays maneuver has complete ly baked all such plans.
 An interview was sought last night with Julius Davidson, the attorney who filed the petition, out he stated that he had nothing to say.

Accuracy of the Ancients.

Dr. Marcey, who has become emil nent from photographing birds, says that certain figures on Trojan's col umn and some of the runners orna- menting an antique vase are exactly represented, although modern artists have been embarrassed by what the instantaneous photograph has shown. it is known that Phidias, on a frieze of the Parthenon, represented horses whose attitudes are perfectly in ac- cord with the results furnished by scientific observations of movement.
