an elevation of 800 feet, the highest in
the government survey between the
Rio Grande and the coast of Maine.
The site is high rolling plateau in
the heart of the long-leaf yellow pine
| forest Of south Alabama. The soil is
sandy; there is no malaria; there are
no poisonous insects; the climate is
simply delightful at all times of the
year. The salt air of the gulf COM
mingles with the fragrant, delicious
ozone Of the pine woods; it is abso-
lutely clean and clear, and therefore
of great benefit to all persons suffer
ing from catarrh, bronchial and throat
troubles, etc.
The town is within a short distance
from Mobile. It has population of
1000, which is of course increased dur
ing the winter months. There are
public and private schools, churches
of various denominations, stores of all
descriptions, a well equipped and
strictly up-to-date hotel, and first
class liveries.
The proximity to Mobile makes Cit

THIRTY KILLED IN WRECK.
Collision on the Illinois Central at
KentWood. La.

New Orleans, Nov. 17.-Thirty per-
sons are dead and eighteen injured as
the result of rear-end collision on
the Illinois Central railroad at Kent
wood, La Twenty-Five OF the dead
are negroes. One white man was IA
tally injured and died later.
The collision was between the Ma
comb City accommodation train and
the Northern express, bound for Chi
cago.
The Macomb City train should have
sidetracked to let the express pass,
but it lost time in reaching Kentwood.
Near Kentwood the express ran down
the accommodation. The rear coach
of the accommodation, filled with me-
groes, many of them section hands,
was completely demolished.
The responsibility for the accident
will be hard to figure out. The first
train was forty-five minutes late and
the last five minutes behind and the
two trains were virtually running on
each others time. The engineer OF the
last train claimed that he had orders

Stay Late In Chicago and Return
ON Midnight Train, Sure of Getting
Protection-The "Finest" on Force
of Two BECOME Bundle Carriers
For shoppers.
Mayor William Deering Steward
namesake of the harvester maker, is
making Plano. H.. a paradise for the
fair sex, says a dispatch from that
town.
General order No. 50 to the Plano
police force has given the village a
secure title to the claim that it is the
most polite municipality in the world.
The order proclaims that the police
men shall consider it one of their du-
ties to escort unprotected women home
after dark.
Plano has two policemen-Lewis
Lanphear and Jefferson Porter, who
were selected as much for their polite
address and thoughtfulness as for their
regulations as preseryers of the peace.
Every night they are to be seen pa
trolling the principal streets with their
eyes reprovingly cast on unruly boys,
but also watchful for the unattended
woman who would appreciate an es-
cort home.
A few minutes past midnight the
most important duty in uphoiding
Pianos reputation for municipal gal
lantry devolves upon the police force.
At that time Pianos finest may be
found drawn up on the platform OF
the village station awaiting the arriy-
al of the last west bound train.
1t is very dark, and the lonely wom-
en- hesitate a moment, hoping that
some friend is going the same way
homeward Then it is that the finest
does its duty.
Madam, may / see that you get
home safely" is the official salutation,
In accordance with general order No.
So.
The woman looks up quickly, half
inclined to scream, till she espies the
star of authority and the DOTTED hat
Of the patrolman. A smile of relief
passes over her face as she delivers
her bundles into the official arms ana
sets off home with her escort Some
nights there are SO many unattached
women in need of escort that the po-
licemen have to organize them into
two parties, according to route, and
convoy them home in rotation.
On these occasions the finest are
said to resemble delivery wagons more
than protectors of the weak.
But the finest enjoy it, and the wo-
men of Plano say that having tried
the system, they would not be without
1t.
'It was SO thoughtful of Mayor
Steward" said one Plano housewife
"Once | was afraid to come out on
that midnight train because it was 50
dark going home, but now | haven't
the slightest fear. ! can go to Chicago
and shop till they drive me out OF the
stores and then take the evening train
home, always sure to find the police
escort at the station"
The men of Plano like it, too-at
least those whose wives are shoppers,
but who think 1t hardship to stay
up till midnight in order to carry the
bundles home from the train.

One of the old members of the lst MIN

Alexander Ramsey was governor of the
then young state of Minnesota when the
war of the rebellion broke out, and 1t was
under his Immediate supervision that the
old 1st Regiment was organized in response
to President Lincoln's first call for $4,000
volunteers for three months service. the

WHY THERE'S NO CATALOGUE.
Collections at the National Museum
Subject to Change.

Subject to Change.
Visitors to the National Museum frequent
ly ask why they can buy no catalogue that
will tell them all about everything in the
place. The mystery was explained by Prof.
o. T. Mason. acting curator, in the words:
1.-The catalogue museum is a dead mu-
scum.
It might be thought that museum, con-
sisting of relics of the past, illustrations of
the present and freaks or curiosities, would
remain about the same except for additions,
but times change and museums change
with them
Public taste and public desire in sight
seeing is largely controlled by current
events. Prof. Mason holds that museum
of the character of the National Museum
is an educational institution, and that as
far as possible the people should be SHOWN
what they most desire to see. An Illus
tration of this is to be found in the case
of the Philippine collection at the National
Museum.
When the Philippine Islands came into
the possession of the United States they
were an unknown quantity to the vast
majority of people, who had the Vaguest
possible ideas about the Filipinos, their
history. customs arts, manufactures and
mode of life. Immediately visitors to the
museum began to ask for the Phlhpplne
collection They were directed to the one
then on hand, but it was not very exten-
siye. occupying only a small space Prof
Mason decided that every possible oppor-
tunity should be given American citizens
to learn something about their new pos
sessions. so material which was not OF
pressing importance was removed, the
space of the Philippine collection was
greatly enlarged and many new specimens
added Such an extensive change would
have completely upset a standing catalogue
