A book teeming with adventures and of historic interest which boys ard girls will delight in is W. Bert Fosters With Ethan Allen at Ticonderoga, issued by the Penn Publishing Company, Phila- delphia. This well told tale presents vivid picture of the struggles of those heroic New Englanders, the Green Mountain boys, against the Tory resi- dents.

The thrilling incidents which lead up to the capture of Ticonderoga are skillfuily, woven into the story. A number of illustrations add to the books interest and attractiveness.

Louis Pendletons "In the Camp of the Creeks'' is another attractiveIy bound and illustrated b1"k issued by the Penn Publishing company. In the first chapter the excitement begins at the sight of the print of an Indian moe casin in part of Georgia where Do h. dian moecasin should be in tS35; this brings alarm to the settlers about She Chickasawhatchee swamp, and It soon appears that there is ample reason for alarm. The young hero, Julian, his old CT friend, Dan, and girl. Maggie. are captured by the Indians, and Dan, after running the gantIet, is under sentence of death at the stake. wFIea happy turn Tn affairs giees the white people a chance to get away, only to suffer periis almost equally great in the swamp.

The Christmas number of Outing is a marvel of rare illustrations and de- lightful articles on those subjects dear to the heart of every sportsman and lover of the natives of the wilds. While the departments of sports are thorough ly treated, as they have always been in this magazine, it is to be noted that fic- ton has been given a deservedly im- portant place, and humor and pathos are not omitted. Special attention has been given to finding and using new material, shedding light upon the out door activities of the natives of those seldom visited and little known habi- tations which should, and invariably do, become upon publication intensely interesting and widely discussed.

Hon. J. H. Fisher, Auditor, Territory

would say, that I know of no law OF
the Territory of Hawaii, whereby Ter
ritQrial Official can hire counsel to rep
resent. him in any case which he might
bring against other officials of the Ter
ritory of Hawai-, especially when the
matter has not been brought to the at
tertion of the Attorney General. Such
a practice would result in an abuse Of
the incidental appropriations and if al
lowed, could be carried to an absurdity.
The Attorney General, under our stat
utes, is the law officer of the Territory
and it IS his duty to represent the vari-
ous Departments in necessary litigation.
This sllit. as it turns out. is a private
matter, which Mr. kepoikai, as Treas
urer, has brought, without consulting
the Attorney Generals Department. or
requesting his aid Under the Grcum-
stances, l advise you not to pay the
claim.
Yours truly.

STARR DIES FROM INJURIES IN WRECK Railway Mail Clerk Expires at
 St. Vincents SHOWED GREAT FORTITUDE starr's Funeral Arrangements Not Vet Made-His Mother Lived Here,
 But His Home Was in Nash.
 ville-Wriaht's Funeral.
SHOWED GREAT FORTlTUDE

Isaac w. Starr. railway mail clerk on No. 3, the seuthbound Louisville and Nashville which had head-end collision with No. 8, Wednesday afternon at Nor ris. died at midnight last night at St. Vim cents hospital,
 The funeral arrangements have not been made, and it Is not known whether the funeral will take place here or wheth- CT the body will be carried to Nashville for interment.
 The deceased was 30 years old and had been running on the Louisville and Nash vile for about twelve years. He was born in Louisville Ky, but lived here a long time. A mother and two sisters live here, and a wife and a sixmonths- old boy at Nashville. The wife of the deceased arrived yesterday from Nash vile.
 While MT. starr's injuries were severe he bore up so bravely that the physici- ans thought he would recover rapidly. It seems that he suffered internal injuries, as well as having a broken leg and his arm broken in two places. He showed a remarkable degree of fortitude all through the eight hours that elapsed be- fore he could be sent to the hospital.
 There is a striking coincidence in the death of Ike Starr and Henry Allen, the negro mail clerk who was killed in the wreck Wednesday afternoon. Just six years ago Wednesday. both of them were injured in wreck at Brentwood, near Nashville, and the bravery of Starr saved the life of the negro, who was pinned under heavy timbers. The two have been running together for several years.
 All the others injured in the wreck are reported as being better, and it is not thought that any more will die. The funeral service over the remains of Engineer Hollis Wright, who was in charge of train No. 3. will be conducted tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, from the residence, 1517 Avenue D, and the interment will be in Elm Leaf cemetery. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin- eers and Masons will attend the funeral

RAILROAD WORLD.

Box cars were utilized on several of the accommodation trains leaving Bir- mingham yesterday afternoon to handle the enormous amount of baggage and ex- press.
 The report that the Southern railway is to make bond issue Is still authoritively denied. It Is fact. however, that the readjustment of the company's finances has been considered from time to time.
 The pass agreement entered into by the eastern associations has been somewhat shattered by the decision of the manage ment of the Erie railroad to issue ex- change passes good over the entire sys- tenn.
 The gross earning of forty-nine rail- roads in the United States for the first week in December were &, POP, 619 against s, s,9T for the first week of December last year. Thirty-nine railroads show increases in earnings and ten show de- creases.
 The office of the assistant general SUD- erintendent of the Illinois railroad has been removed from New Orleans to Memphis
 In reply to a question concerning fur ther acquisition by the Rock Island, Pres ident B. F, Yoakum said that, in his opln- ion, there would be no further merger of railroads, as nearly all the important lines have been grouped according to their geographical location.

BIRMINGHAM LOOKED LIKE
 CARNIVAL CITY YESTERDAY

The streets of Birmingham yesterday looked like carnival time" From morn ing until a late hour last night, every street and avenue in the downtown dis trict was thronged. and everybody seem- ed to be in good humor and in harmony with the season.
 Packages and bundles by the thousand could be seen. It was an ideal day. the temperature being neither too warm nor too cold, and the sun was not behind the clouds for single moment.
 One of the most noticeable features about the streets was the way in which they were decorated. Every fruit stand in the city had doubled its stock and in many cases they were four times their usual size.
 The fruit stand near the Woodward building was the most noticeable and unique in character of the decorations At Costellos Bros. an immense palm tree was improvised at the edge of the sidewalk upon which were hung all
