Governor Jelks Shows Clemency to Women Sent to Penitentiary Respectively from Wilcox
 and Dale Counties.

Two women convicts. Julia McPherson of Wilcox County, and Cora Griffin of Dale County, were pa-dOned yesterday by l Governor Jelks.
 The MoPherson woman, negress, was serving a twenty-year sentence for man. daughter, and has been at the peniten- tiary walls in Wetumpka.,
 She pleaded guilty in the Circuit Court of Wilcox County to manslaughter in 1894. She was accused of killing her hus- band, and although she pleaded guilty she protested to her lawyer that she was not guilty.
 In granting the pardon Governor Jelks points to the fact that the woman has served nearly ten years of her sentence and that her record as convict has been good. The pardon was recommended by all of the officials of Wilcox County.
 Cora Griffin, sent to the penitentiary for assault with intent to murder, for two years, would soon have served out her sentence. She was convicted in the Cir cult Court of Dale County on February II, 1901.
 The pardon was recommended by the trial judge.

Authors are MesSrS. Handley, London and HOgue. Veteran Representative from Ran dolph Has Prepared Plan Similar. to That in Vogue
 Before the War.

Legislation upon which the members of the House and Senate are practically united was brought before the Legislators yesterday in the introduction of a general primary and two general election bills in the Legislature.
 The need for reform in the primary and election laws of Alabama Is unani- mously appreciated by the members of the Legislature as much as they may differ on the details of the bills.
 General election laws were introduced vesterday both in the House and the Sem ate. The Senate bill was introduced by Senator w. F. Hogue of Perry and the House bill was presented by Hon. Wii- liam A. Handley of Randolph.
 Senator Hogue said that his bill was separate and independent of the one in- troduced in the House by MT. Handley. They were drawn up separately and he did not know. he said, if they had any thing in common.
 Handley Talks of Bill.
 MT. Handley's bill is in large measure founded on the election laws in force in Alabama before the war. He said yes- terday that his bill was similar in many respects to the old laws which governed the elections between the Whigs and the Democrats.
 Lnose udyS, Sdlu tiC word fraud was never uttered in connec- ton with an election. It was a time when a free vote and a fair count pre- vailed. The honesty of elections was not questioned.
 My bill provides for numbering the tickets and poll list and election tickets A voter casts a numbered ballot and the same number Is entered opposite his name on the poll list by the election managers. The ballots are kept secret except in case of contest"

A SHORTAGE OF BABIES.
Especially In the Homes of Weather
Families.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 10
Episcopal Bishop Francis OF the do
cese of Indiana declares that the short
age of babies in the church is alarm
ing and that the homes of Wealtnler
members of the church have an aver
age Of about one child to the family.
women in the finer homes do not
want babies nowadays" said the bishop
I'VE have constantly increasing
number of adult baptisms but the
baptism Of infants is decreasing. rms
is not because they do not have their
babies baptized but because there are
fewer babies. The Living Church AL
nual, the Episcopal almanac for the
year just published, shows how alarm
ing is the shortage Of babies In the
church. The number Of baptisms OF
infants has decreased so per cent IN
IA years. This is in the face OF an In
crease Of communicates.
Not only is there shortage OF DO
bies in our church but all over the
land in the wealthiest homes. 1t ap-
pears like a repetition OF the career
Of France"
