What's In a Name?

An old merchant of New York city
who, as he himself phrases it, has the
misfortune to be named Guiteau, was
returning to his country home on the
Hudson when he was approached by
a stranger who had observed the
name on his handbag. Excuse me,
sir" began the unknown, curiosity
and trepidation, blending in his tone,
but are you-are you a-brother of
the gentleman who-er-er-had lit
tie difficulty with President Garfield?"

At Shutdown,

The fiery fever of the day is done;
Beyond the red horizon sets the sun,
And all the floating cloudlets blend in one.
Far off, the sea is Tapped in glory; here
A sober radiance glimmers on the mere,
And lights the sand beneath it. deep and
clear.
While graceful pendant branches. inter-
twined
Dip in the wave and rustic to the wind,
And seek for boughs beneath, but can
not find.
A breath. a vagrant from the pulsing
Breaks through the copse with messages
for me,
And takes the placid waters ruflingly.
o witching hour Of daydream, gentle
I fain would hold thee. that thou may'st
not leave
Till thou hast stilled the thoughts that
make me grieve.

NOVEL PLEA FOR AID.
Chinese Seem to Have Curious Ideas
of Responsibility.

The Chinese theory or responsible
ity is a curious one. An English medi-
cal missionary in Shensi. writing
home the other day, says he was ask
ed by a native gentleman to cure a
blind beggar. 1t was a simple case
of cataract aud an operation restored
sight.
Then the missionary was waited
upon again by the same gentleman,
and calmly told that as he had de-
stroyed the only means by which the
blind man could get living-begging
it was his duty to make it up to him
by taking him into his employment
and providing for him for life.

Opening oi the Schools.

Tomorrow a beautiful army over six thousand strong will trudge away to the public schools of the city. This school parade is the finest and most promising of the entire year It is the city of twenty years hence, and the paraders will turn out tomorrow in order that they become better citizens than we of today are-better men and women, more efficient and more pro ductiye.
 The equipping of these future citi- zens for school has been a task that has involved many sacrifices. If those sacrifices in humble homes could be told every heart would be touched. No one in this world will, however, know of the silent toll, the unwearied efforts made, to get six thousand chill dren ready for school" No one need know. But no one need look upon the parade tomorrow without thinking of it's cost and it's priceless value, both to the individual and to the state.
 There should be at least three thou sand more children in the parade than there will be, but we must wait for full parade until we have school houses enough, and the state has a compulsory school law Both of these are ahead and we must be patient.
 But the teachers-God bless them will have their hands full in handling six thousand bright boys and girls. These boys and girls are to be taught higher ideals Not only ignorance, but vice is to be driven from their young minds They are to be lifted up morally, mentally and civically, if the last named word will be per mitted. The responsibility of the teacher is heavy, and the city is for tunate is having teachers that are equal to the tasks they will take up tomorrow morning, and will not again lay down until the hot suns of June have returned to us.

Georqia's Fighting Preacher.

Postmaster Akerhan of Cartersville, over in Georgia, did not like a sermon preached by the Rev. Sam Jones, also of Gainesville, over in Georgia, and he undertook to trounce him in good football style, he having been trained in that art at Princeton. He did get in one blow, but the Rev. Sam Jones, who has fought something worse than football players many years, immedi- ately countered, and the preacher was about to counter much more when the combatants were pulled apart.
 The merits of the Cartersville- af- fair do not concern The Age-Herald, which is published far away from the scene of action. We leave to the Geor- gia journals the discussion of the pros and cons of the ruction. If we were compelled to take sides, it would be against the postmaster, and in favor of the preacher, who is game to the backbone.
 We have but one purpose in view, and that is to remind all Alabamians who are exhorted hereafter by the Rev. Sam Jones to quit vice that it is best not to cross Georgia's fighting preacher Ii jss much hetter all things considered, to take his advice instead of his fist. He has command of jabs and swings, and he stands ready at any time enforce his doctrines up to the limit of his ability. His cour- age has no limit, and his fist seems to be eqaul to calls upon 1t. Verbum sat sapienti.

Mr. carneale,s Prediction.
New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 MT. Andrew Carnegie, we fear, is suf- fering from the pressure of too many libraries on the brain; for in his address yesterday to the Iron and Steel Institute, at Barrow-in- Furness he not only la- mented that the United States had be- come lost to the ''great little mother of nations,' but predicted that some day this country would again belong to that of England, saying: My faith is un- shakable that some day this will be ac- complshed and instead of being two small islands here, alien to the European continent, you will look across the sea to your own children In Canada and in the United States, and become once more the mother member of the domi- nant power of the world"
 Astonishing, is it not, what big im- agination little men can have? And how small Sir Thomas Lipton must feel in his clothes that he aspired to lift only Americas Cup, while Sir Andrew medi- tates the lifting of America itself

 The answer depends upon the ex tent to which the experience of three seasons has sunk into the minds of the owners of the franchise, and their manager When foul balls became strikes all ehould have seen that the day of the batter had come-the bat ter whose aver age approaches to 300, and at times exceeds that coveted per centage. But all did not look at the problem il that light, and a team was organized that as a whole could not bat-a team that presented in every game four or five players whose bat ting average was lamentably low It is not necessary now to inquire wno did this. It is sufficient to state the truth, and to told it up as a warning against a ike team next year.
 Manager Q Hrien did well with a team of low hating power He kept it together. He even kept it in 2 hopeful frame of mind, but he could not ot course carry it into the first division. Even it's pitching and field ing strength could not do that, because it was as whole ineffective when It went mar after man to the box bat in hand.

Shaved Thirty Men in Thirty Minutes

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
 There was a barber's contest at Read ing Sunday and the village gathered in large numbers at the shop of Henry Dur ban to see Roy Schnell, a barber of con siderable reputation in the Mill Creek Valley, make a race against time with the father and razor. Schnell shaved thirty men in thirty minutes and lathered the thirty-first man when time was call ed. The best barber's record made pre- vious to this was twenty-nine men in thirty minutes. The men were all neatly shaved. The contest was held under the auspices of the National Barbers' Union, and the record will be filed at the union headquarters. The barber who can shave the most men in thirty minutes will be awarded a gold medal, and Schnelrs rec ord was one man faster than any that has been reported. All barbers who are members of a union in America are eligi- ble to the race, and considerable rivalry Is being shown all over the country,

Latest in Baby Transportation.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A well-dressed woman created some thing of a sensation on Fourth street. in the vicinity of the St. Nicholas Hotel, Monday afternoon by her method of car rying very young baby. She had across her arm d "carryall," but instead of hay ing 1t filled with articles secured in the shopping district she carried lusty youngster, which looked like it might be about one year old It was sleeping as serenely as if ensconsed In its own couch at home, and the mother wal Sed in and out of the stores with as little con cern as if she carried an ordinary pack age. But the passersby eyed her, and every woman from Vine to Race craned her neck to see how the child enjoyed it's new mode of travel. The mother paid little attention to the comments of the throng, and went about her business in such matter r-of-fact way that the im- pression soon prevailed that both she and the baby were used to it, and cared little for what others said.

 We have Just had some new circulars made describing Frank Duncan, and showing four copper half tone views of him." said Chief Deputy Sheriff Alfred Stradford
 Few people know how much trouble and expense we have gone to in our attempts to recapture him. Since his escape from the jail here on January 20 1902, we have sent out over 100000 circulars describing him and offering a reward of $500 for him.
 ''The descriptions we have of him are very accurate. even the location of little scars on various parts of his body being given. Duncan was a stolzer by trade To show what pains we have taken to locate him we have sent circulars to the secretary of every firemans union in the United States, every engineers union, and the various officers of every steam boat crew We have sent the circulars to every postofflce given in the United States postal guide north of Birmingham and south of the Ohio river. Hundreds Of police departments have been supplied with these circulars and still nothing has ever been heard of him.
 All of this circular work has cost much money not only for the printing but for postage and clerical work"

Business Prosperity.

'If any man in Birmingham were in- cllned to be pessimistic he had but to observe the crowds of people on the ing purchases today to change his tune,' said a business man last night. "The fact is Birmingham is enjoying very marked prosperity The dull months of summer have been followed by a period of real activity and this month will be followed by months of even greater pros perity.

TEMPERANCE IS STRONG
 IN THE SOUTHERN STATES

better enforced, in this respect, than in some or the New England states. where prohibition laws have been on the statute DOCKS Tor half a century. The entire south' according to the New Voice is tending toward stricter enforcement of US law regulating the liquor traffic while in the northern states particularly in the large cities, there is a constant in- crease in drunkenness. due to lax enforce ment Of the laws upon dwelers in the tenements' can rushers" and the lawless classes that congregate in the hoodlum districts. In the south the better class of citizens, always in the majority. make special effort to prevent the sale of liquor to the negroes and in districts where excessive drinking is almost inva- riably followed by an outbreak of law lessness.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-20

From the New York Commercial.
 N REVISION of opinion is due among \P7l the newspaper editors and other A citizens of the north who have for years been nursing the notion that the resident of the south Is in his normal mood and condition only when on inti- mate terms with the seductive mint julep or some other form of intoxicant. Novel, ists, magazine writers, newspaper corre- spondents, and raconteurs have left the fixed impression that portion of each southern gentleman's day Is religiously devoted to convival effort to encourage the output of the nations distilleries, the most famous of which are located In the Southland. In view of this false educa- tion, the country will, no doubt, be sur prised to learn that there are 5000 more saloons in New York city alone than there are in the entire south and that, if the lower class of negroes be elimi- mated, the temperance sentiment is stronger in the south than in any other section of the country. The New Voice, temperance organ, furnishes the fol- lowing summary of the liquor regulation laws in six of the southern states.
 ''Texas-136 counties have total prohibit tion; 62 counties have partial prohi- bition, and 46 counties have unrestricted sale of liquors.
 'Tennessee-Out of $500 cities and towns in the state only eight have unrestricted sale of liquors. In only 12 of the 96 coun- ties can whiskey be sold legally.
 'Kentucky-F counties have total pro- hibition; 54 have partial prohibition and IS have unrestricted sale of liquors.
 "Arkansas--44 counties have total pro- hibiton; two counties have partial pro- hibition and 2s have unrestricted sale.
 'Mississippi-65 counties out of 75 have prohibition, and out of 200 legislators all but dozen or less have signified their approval of a referendum for state pro- hibition
 .Georgia--lo3 counties out of 1s7 have prohibition
 It is interesting to note in this connec- ton that Kentucky and Tennessee, the homes of the largest distilleries of the country. have adopted exceedingly strin- gent laws relative to the sale and con sumption of intoxicating liquors, and the New Voice is authority for the assertion that the laws in the South are much
