PURELY LEGENDARY.

From the New York Sun.
 Mark Antony had just presented his cook with a city.
 Ut was the only thing to do," he ex- plained; "she positively refused to live in the country"
 Thus early in history were desperate measures needed.
 The Ancient Mariner was in communi- cative mood
 Why asked Colerdge, didn't you have the Albatross stuffed?"
 Because" retorted the tar T stuffed you instead"
 Hereupon the bard got even by passing on the tale to the rest of us.
 Henry of Navarro was exhorting his soldiers to follow the white plume.
 But" they protested, "our wives will all want one for their hats"
 II can't help that replied their stern leader. Remember wor is war, besides it would spoil Macauley's poem if. you didn't"
 Pressing forward to do their duty, they soon made Ivry famous.

Lynchina Here andsEIsewhere

Chief Judge Lore of Delaware is widely praised for his views expressed before a grand jury on the subject of lynching. He said, among other things:
 We are confronted with this crime and must meet it. Shall we invite its vlsita- perpetraton, or make such crime here after improbable, is not impossible. by dealing out adequate punishment?
 Lynching and mob law, their promoters and encouragers, whether they be of high or low degree, should receive no favor at the hands of thoughtful and pa- triotic men. There must be government or no government. The line oi cleavage is clear. All history teaches that the prevalence of mob law is the end of free government. Obedience to law is the life breath of our republic.
 This is the entire case in a nut. shell, and if the wise words of Judge Lore are carried by the grand jury into deeds, Delaware will present a fine example of retribution that will be felt throughout the country.
 In Alabama all the support Governor Jelks needs in his warm and efficient crusade against lynching is the pass age of the Lusk bill providing for the immediate summoning of a circuit court, together with the impanelling of a grand jury This power would enable the courts of this state to try a fragrant case as speedily as Judge Lynch could do it, and the gain in other directions would be almost in calculable The boys and youths would not be taught that law is of little account, and the fair fame of the state would be greatly extended. The Lusk redistricting bill should not be neglected in the rush of business in the senate. It has already passed the house. It should be reported and taken up in the senate. No one who believes in the supremacy of the law will oppose it.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES.
Changing Sidewalk Grade.

said prominent citizen: What i'll tho world are our city authorities about in al lowing the new national bank building on the corner of Second avenue and Twenti- eth street to so materially change the grade of the sidewalk on that side of Twentieth street as the contractors for that building are now putting down. This new sidewalk will necessitate drop of three feet or whereabouts at the alley baqk of the building.
 Such an unsight1y thing as this will present after the sidewalk Is completed is not to be found in any well regulated city on the American continent. The act es- tablishing the general system of street grades for the city provides that no change shall be made except by order of the board of mayor and aldermen.
 When and for what good reason did our city council authorize this change of grade? Or did the street committee alone undertake to do this without consulting the council? Or did the city engineer as- sume this authority all to himself without consulting anyone, or did the mayor grant this permission?
 Som cone owes an explanation as to how such csmel-back hump comes about on one of the most prominent block frontages of the city"

Peonaqe Cases in This State.

The Brooklyn Eagle, which is hemi- morphic in politics, abuses Governor Jelks, because he expressed dislike for the premature and often unfounded statements of newspapers in other and distant states concerning peonage in Alabama. Governor Jelks will not, The Age-Herald feels sure, suffer even an uncomfortable feeling because the Eagle dislikes his views on any sub ject
 The peonage abuses of Alabama should be rectified in the state courts, and the regret is that the legislature has not the time to take up the sub ject with all it's notifications, includ- ing the fee system, the courts of jus tices of the peace, and the laws against involuntary servitude. No doubt the possibilities of injustice un- der the state laws need attention with a view or bringing them down 10 minimum. Nearly all laws are subject to abuses, and the present swing of justices of the peace which enables the nliadrnnlin of sr ss iiee ls. q 1 be checked if not wholly obliterated. The few days left of the legislative session will not admit of a reform that will be very ripe in 1907.
 This fact does not, however, call for outside interference in the affairs of Alabama, against which Governor ,Jelks persisted, and for which the Brooklyn Eagle is trying to condemn him. The Eagle will find plenty of

Alabama's Great Fair.

President Krebs' efforts to get to- gether a fine lot of exhibits. together with attractions of a more popular nature, should be appreciated by the people of this state. and particularly by the people of this county and city. The fair will be no ordinary event. and It will appeal allKe to the women as well as the men of this state, and to the children also. Mrs. John B. Reid is working hard to bring the woman's department of the fair up to high standard, and every other de- partment will be rendered highly at tractive. Congressmen Underwood has induced the general government to send to the fair portion of the Sew enth cavalry regiment, including it's fine band. and the other attractions Of the fair will go far towards making it the best southern exhibition of the
 
 The railroads offer low rates to and from the fair, and all that Is now needed is a full appreciation of the undertaking at home. Let all talk up the fair. Everybody has friends and acquaintances throughout the state, and these friends and acquaintances should be urged to come to the fair.
 This city can accommodate 50,000 visitors, and that number should come to the fair. That number will come if each and every person in this city and county will take a talking interest in the fair. Most people in the Ala bama counties expect to go to one fair in the fall season, and VIC want all such people to come here, where there will be more to see and enjoy than there will be elsewhere. Presi- dent Krebs is full of energy, and his ample experience enables him to gather about himself competent as- sistants. No one who is in touch with the fair has a doubt as to the attractions that will be presented, and all doubts as to proper appreciation of them will be dispelled if all will | go to work with a will to cause people to come to the Alabama state fair, 1 instead of wandering off to fairs of l less value in other localities.

Rolling Ciqarettes.

"It is remarkable how easily a person can adapt himself to changed conditions" said an observant man yesterday. Have you ever noticed one-armed man roll ing a cigarette? We'll you have missed an interesting sight. As an example of a delicate bit of work successfully perform ed under difficulties the case I mention Is hard to surpass. First the man with only one arm reaches around Into his coat pocket for book of papers. It is a comparatively easy matter to blow the leaves apart and pull one out with the fingers
 Next the paper Is laid carefully in the hollow made by crossing his legs. After pushing open the sack with one finger the tobacco is poured out and then begins the delft operation of rolling. Comparatively few people can roll cigarette neatly with both hands, but with only one finger and a thumb at work the difficulties are vast ly increased. Almost before the watcher is aware the tobacco is inclosed in the paper and the man is adding the finish ing touches by rolling up the edges on the stump of his arm that is gone. It Is certainly a ticklish performance and when the smoker lies back with sigh of satisfaction we cannot help but feel that he has earned the indulgence"

ABOUT THE
 ISLAND OF FERNANNO 20

a country as rich as the Guinea Coas could not long remain neglected by Euro peans. In his book. From Liverpool t Fernando Po' he states that while at tn latter point he paid visit to Old Calabar Bonny and King Jim's Town, the thre points which for nearly four cen turies. had remained the center of tn slave trade and which lay on the main land opposite Fernando Pc. To his sur price he found all three towns in a flour ishing condition, for the slave trade wal no more than suppressed before Euro peans discovered the value of palm oil which the region around Fernando P yields in incredible quantities, and the oi trade had grown to such proportions II the few years after it's value was recog nized by Europeans that the inhabitant did not experience the effects of bank ruptcy or decline of business due to thu falling off of the slave trade. The coun try around Fernando Pc, that is to say the mainland. yields rubber, ebony. dye woods. grain, fruit palm oil. coffee sugar cotton in large quantities. most of thu palm oil trade being in the hands of tn British. It Is a curious fact that durini the halcyon days of the Old Dutch Eas India company the elector of Branden burg (ancestor of the present Kaiser VII helm) was one of the principal sharehold CTS and directors of that concern, and O the numerous factories maintained by thu company along the west coast during tn seventeenth century there was one' no far from Fernando Pc, known as tn elector of Brandenburg's factory, am garrisoned by his Prussan soldiers. Sup seluently the Dutch East India com pany lost control of the trade or thu coast, so that the Germans are now re turning to one of their old stampini grounds, from which they have been ao sent for nearly three centuries.

abuses at home, in it's city of churches, if it will look closely, and it need not assume supervision of distant Ala bama. In 1907 the laws of this state relating to or leading on to peonage will beyond doubt be fully and care fully revised, and in the meanwhile the federal courts may be trusted to keep the subjest t alive As things are going the dockets of those courts will soon be crowded with peonage cases some strictly sensational and spectacu- lar and political, but some no doubt tnat are based on gross injustice, and that deserve correction.

The Liquor Traffic.

"The Temperance cause is undoubtedly gaining ground in the south,' remarked an old citizen, "and many of the old towns noted for drunkenness have re- gently gone dry. This is especially the case in Virginia. But however marked may be the change in sentiment in the smaller communities the large cities will never vote for prohibition or for dispen- sary.
 "In Richmond the anti-liquor candidates for the legislature were defeated in the primary held this week. One of the hottest campaigns ever held in Richmond was the wet or dry, while I was living there about twenty years ago. The entire community was aroused and much money was turned loose by both sides. Many prominent cit izens noted for their total abstinence voted with the liquor men on commercial grounds. The vets carried the city by a large majority"

Friction in the Public Schools.

A complete change of text books among an army of children is neces- sarily a heavy task involving many complaints, no small expenditure at the outset, and all sorts of obstacles and misunderstanding The trouble is not at all local. It exists in every beat in every county It is a little more strenuous in this city, because a greater number of pupils are sup piled here
 No sweeping change can take place without more or less heat, more or less squabbling, but all sucn troubles will soon disappear. They belong to the inauguration period, or first month, of the new system. As soon as pupils get tho new text books all will be glad that the uniformity plan has been agencies arc the very best in the mar ket. They are clearly printed and handsomely illustrated and the paper and binding are exceptionally good.
 Think of the difference between such books and the books heretofore found in the little rural schools! The difference is almost too great for statement The school in Jefferson county that used a geography on whose maps Birmingham was not laid down, will now be able to locate this town. The best literature of the Ian guage is presented in the readers, and the smallest school in the state has as good books as the largest school. This Is one of the great gains of the new system
 In order that the state may secure the blessings of uniformity of the highest standard, eacn person should aid to the utmost the introduction of tho system. Every Intelligent person should do his best to lessen the fric- ton. Superintendent Phillips and his assistants will strive faithfully and bravely to meet tho troubles of the installation. They have no interest in the matter except to serve the pupils placed in their charge. Those who are working to increase the friction of in- auguration are as rule men who have axes to grind. IT. Phillips and his teachers have no such incentive, and pupils and patrons should un- flinchingly trust them and be advised by them. thus paving the way for the introduction of a system that villas suredly benefit every school in the state. Winston county may gain more proportionately, but imperial Jefferson will be glad six months from now that the legislature had the courage to make the change

3 HE Island of Fernando Pc, for the \O purchase of which Germany is now negotiating with Spain Is situated in the Eight of Biafra. about 2 degrees north of the equator, and is named after the Portuguese navigator who discovered 1t in the fifteenth century Dom Fernando Poa It covers territory of S30 square miles, and, .Iext to .;t Hele-
 na, is the finest natural fortress on the West African coast The mountain,
 which the English and Americans call
 Clarence Peak. and the Spaniards Pico
 Santo Ysabel rises from the center of the island to height of 10000 feet above sea level, and can be seen at a great distance
 out. Fernando Pc is the natural and leg
 ical mart and trading post for the whole of West Africa, and the reason why It has
 cut such a small figure duri 1g the past fifty years was owing to the general de.
 cay and collapse of everything along ,he West African region, following the abo:i-
 tion of the slave trades in the sixties.
 Now that Germany has started in to build up the trade of West Africa from
 her colony of Togoland situated about 100 miles north of Fernando Po she has shown her wisdoD in trying to secure the
 island, which, under German domination,
 may become a great trade center.
 Fernando Pc is the headquarters of the
 several missionary enterprises on the
 West coast, as well as of a very consid-
 erable trade. Sir Richard F. Burton. the
 dscoverer of Lake Tanganyika, and yic-
 toria Nyanza, in East Africa, and the translator of ''The Arabian Nights" was British consul at Fernando Pc in the six ties just after the slave trade had 5sen abolished, and West Africa was sunk in despondency over the ruin of profitable trade for it was from the harbor Of the town of Fernando Pc, one of the besc in
 Africa, that the slavers used to fit aut both going and coming, and his propne- cies of the future of that section are aoy
 being rapidly realized.
 Burton stated that for all that there had not been a single elephants tusls shipped from the Ivory Coast in forty years. and not so much as a pound of gold from the Gold Coast for all that slavery was abolished, and Europeans had, at that time. 1883. practically aban- doned West Africa, still he felt certain that this would not last long, and that

There Is a strong movement among the Episcopalians of New York city to have the diocesan council, which meets. this week, elect coadjutor to Bishop Potter" said a layman. Bishop Potter is not yet seventy and is, therefore. not too old to do vigorous work, but the labors of the diocese have increased large ly of late years and many of the clergy insist on giving Bishop Potter an assist ant, in the shape of a coadjutor, although the bishop has not asked for one.
 ''The diocese is somewhat divided over the question of high church and low church. The Ritualists are putting for ward Dr. Christian of St. Mary the Virgin, as their candidate for coadjutor and Dr. Greer is mentioned as strong candidate of the conservative clergy"

WHEN TO DRINK CHAMPAGNE.
he New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Champagne was produced on small scale in the fourteenth century, and it's consumption has steadily increased up to the present day, yet there are few per- sons who know how or when to drink it.. The French themselves, who gave to the world this wine of the gods have all along been the greatest offenders They have always insisted on drinking champagne with their dessert, habit actually bar barous. No more serious astronomical error could be imagined The very nature of champagne renders it i'll suited to &C., company fruit and, above all, sweets. Real judges of what to eat and drink have decided that the proper time for it at dinner is with the joint, when it's del- icate taste and bouquet may be enjoyed in perfection.

Army Canteen.

General Frederic D. Grant adds his testimony to the folly of abolshing the canteen," said a church member. 'He says that the results, so far as they have come under his observation, have been bad, and that the saloons established on the outskirts of the military are a de- grading influence The abolition of the canteen feature of the post exchange to quote his own words, however radical and positive be the objections to the light beverages formerly served therein, I may say, although a total abstainer myself. is regarded by me as a vital mis- fortune to the military service. Whatev- CT be the convictions and prejudices of reformers on the subject of temperance, the fact should be apparent that the best and surest method of fostering temper ance Is to fight against and oppose all tendency to excess But this is the one thing which the incorporate temper ance reformer will not see. He would rather have a soldier drink himself to death outside the post than be able to get a glass of beer at the canteen."
