President snencer,s PartY.

Birmingham holds this morning an unusually large party of railroad off, cials and capitalists. This district is accustomed to visits of magnates in railroad and industrial circles, but the party that accompanies President Spencer of the Southern Railway com pany is perhaps the largest that has visited Birmingham, representing in one way or another a vast amount of capital.
 The members of the large delega- tion will visit nearly every part of this district. They propose to see with their own eyes what has been accom- plished, and to judge for themselves what more can be done here. Bir. mingham is ne-ot the best-advertised towns in this country, but the men that came here with MT. Spencer pre- fer to see this district as it stands today. The entire district welcomes these men to the Alabama hills that enclose our teeming Jones valley With the aid of such men this valley can be filled with mills and people, and yet not seriously encroach upon it's natural resources. Nowhere else in this country can be found iron ore, coal and limestone, all lying within easy reach. These materials of iron making lie side by side, and it is nc exaggeration to say that they can be assembled in stack by one whistle. Where else is this possible in this broad country?

School Census of Alabama

The inequalities of the new school census is very marked. Lowndes ap- pears to be one of the best counties in the state for school children. Out of a population of 35,651 it has 16,542 children of school age, or very nearly as many as there are in Montgomery county, which has a population of 72,047. If 72,047 people in Montgom. cry county afford but 19 ,29O children of school age,<how can 95651 people in Lowndes produce 16,542 children? This question is one that Superintend ent of Education Hill should consider.
 The population of Montgomery is more than twice that of Lowndes. and by all known rules of enumeration there should be in the former twice as manyp School children. There should be in Montgomery county coun- ty about 34000 children of school age The new census, however. shows but 19,29O in Montgomery. Where are the other 15,00O children?
 Lowndes draws this year from the general school fund S21 ,67OO2. and if Superintendent of Education Hill would analyze both the enum eration and the distribution of school money in Lowndes he would undoubtedly be able to tell story that would inter. est Montgomery county to say the least.
 Lowndes may think the subject does not concern other counties. but such thought would be a mistake. It directly concerns counties like Montgomery and Jefferson, that pay no inconsiderable part of the school money which Lowndes draws from the treasury of the state. If Lowndes has oyercounted it's children, those coun- ties which contribute to the support of it's schools have a right to know it.
 Jefferson countys population was in 1900 almost exactly four times that of Lowndes, and it is safe to say it is five times larger today. If Lowndes has 16,542 children of school age. lief ferson should have 83 ,000. As a mat ter of fact it counts but 3OS55.
 One of two things is beyond ques- tion-either Lowndes' school census is padded, or else the census of lief ferson and Montgomery are inaccurate and deficient

NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Her Friends Not Surprised at Miss Mae
 Woods Action.

Washington October 14-The departure of Miss Mae Wood for New York with the avowed purpose of filing a breach of promise suit against Senator Platt, and if Mrs. Janeway next Thursday. was not a very severe shock to Miss Macs friends here in Washington. It had been rumored that she had confded to her intimate as- sociates that she had prepared a modest trousseau for an interesting event. She was wont to boast of her intimate friend ship with the Easy Boss" armed with what she says are love letters from Sem ator Platt It is believed Miss Wood will at least cause something of sensation in Gotham, even if she does not win.
 Miss Wood has had an interesting ca- reer. Besides being an employe in the postoffice department she is lawyer and has been a newspaper woman.
 She was appointed to government po- sition from Nebraska being a protege of Senator Thurston. She was dropped 1t seems, by Senator Thurston, and then Senator Platt listened to her tale of woe, and had her transferred from the post office in New York to the rural free delivery division of the postoffice depart ment
 Miss Wood was alert here and made copies of letters that did not look so well for Machen, Hazard and Hedges, all of whom figured in one way or another in the postal scandals. This was not delight full for Machen, who did not like such keen female eyes.
 They might have seemed goo-gooish to Platt but to Machen they looked like searchlight, therefore he had her trans ferred to the money order division. But of late Miss Wood has been taking a jaunt across the waters to dear old London and other places. This was the envy of some sister employees, who say l they can hardly spare enough cash to

SUN SPOTS CONSOLIDATING.
They Now Number Nine and Are 172,.
 900 Miles Long.

Special to the New York Times.
 Washington. October 14.-George H. Peters of the naval observatory, who is watching the development of the large group of spots on the sum- his observa- tions of which were noted last week, has made further observations of the group. and has made the following statement:
 The enormous group was again ob- served with photo-heliograph yesterday and today. The individual spots compris- ing the group have become less numerous, some of the smaller spots having consol- dated with others
 The group consists of about nine spots in all. and now shows indications of con- densing into two principal spots or groups somewhat separated. Yesterday the, total length of the disturbed region was 172. 900 miles, with width of about 59, coo miles, the aggregate length of the principal spots being 123.Ooo miles.
 '"Ihe group was easily seen with the naked eye at the Natal observatory by several of the astronomers, and ought to be a conspicuous object for several days yet.
 "A brilliant aurora was observed last evening, bright glow in the heavens near the northern horizon, while intense streams shot up toward the zenith. These conspicuous auroras often accompany the appearance of large sun spots The mag netic conditions of the earth are affected, producing considerable disturbance of the magnetic needle"

Ministerial Coats.

Those of us who frequently have to follow deep theological discussions find it quite diverting to read a resolution in- troduced in the Greenbrier presbytery in West Virginia touching the practical question of ministerial coats,' said a church member
 "The resolution is as follows: Resolved That it is the solemn and painful con vietion of this Greenbier presbytery that some of the ministerial brethren are de- parting from the time-honored custom of the fathers in wearing bobtailed coats, and the presbytery would hereby warn the brethren against conformity to this custom of the dudes. Let the offending brethren be warned of what the unelr- cumcised may do to them, as recorded in First Chronicles, xiv:1-5. We respectful ly point them to the yestures of the fathers and brethren ot the presbytery. Rev. M. H. Bittinger. W. T. Price and M. l.. Lacy as having coats becoming in length, in opposition to conformity to the fashions of the present day
 This seems funny. In Catholic coun- tries, it is the rule for priests to wear their cassocks on the streets as well as in church, but 1t never occurred 10 me that a Protestant body, especially so good Protestant body as a presbytery. should think of prescribing or suggesting regu- lation dress for its ministers. The long black coat was all right forty or fifty years ago, but 1t is certainly out of date now. Preachers should dress in a quiet, becoming style, and the short coat, es- pecially for every day wear, is certainly more comfortable and becoming than the old fashion coat that came below the knees. A Prince Albert looks we'll enough on a very large, tall man, but it is not becoming to many men of medium stat ure. 1t is a mistake to think that the bobtailed coat is a sign of the dude. Near ly every well dressed lawyer, banker and merchant wears a short coat on week days

Colonel panson,a Talents.

While in the exposition building at the fair grounds yesterday. Col w. H. Den son thoroughly demonstrated that he has other means of earning a livelihood out side of his law practice remarked a cit izen. Tn one corner of the building there is an old spinning wheel which did ser vice during the civil war. Approaching Mrs. Jones, the lady in charge, Colonel Denson offered to give 25 cents to charity If he could operate the machine. Every body laughed, but the colonel calmly took his seat and proceeded to give the wheel 8 familiar whirl. On the first attempt he failed, but the next time he turned out as pretty skein as any old timer.
 Feeling confident, the colonel offered to wager 25 cents, the winnings to be de- voted to charity that he could card bat and then spin it. He again demon strated his skill and soon had the crowd of onlookers believing that he had made a mistake in taking up the practice of law He is an adept at both, but to the crowd the spinning was more spectaeu- lar. The 25 cent wager was turned over to the Hillman hospital, and the colonel went away the proud possessor of a skein of thread spun by himself

Newspapers in Schools.

The principal of a high school some where in the west announces that he proposes to make the daily newspaper of use In his school for teaching geogra- phy," said a professional man. There is a man with a practical idea. A person who knows something about the world could not do better than call the news paper to his aid in teaching geography. It is full of suggestiveness and offers new topics every day. If a class was re qured every day to find out where the places are from which the morning news papers dispatches come, to point them out on the map, or, better, on the globe, and to tell something about them, the mem- bers of the class would soon have better knowledge of the countries and cities of the world than they commonly get by years of textbook study. Interest would be awakened.
 Every day for three months the news papers have contained accounts that could be made of deep interest to any class of children over twelve years old about doings in Macedonia and Bulgaria. How many pupils in our high schools know. whether Macedonia is in Europe or in Asia, or know why the massacres there concern Turkey, Austria and Russia?''

The Dead Archhishop.

While the late Archbishop J. J. Kain of St. Louis was not so much in the public eye as Archbishop Ireland and several other high prelates he was perhaps equal to any of them in intellect and scholar ship said an old layman. He was an able controyersialist and an exceptionally able business man. first knew him years ago when he was bishop of Wheeling He delivered a series of doctrinal sermons in Richmond while I was living there which attracted wide attention, at least such of them as were published.
 Tt is a noteworthy coincidence that Archbishop J. J. Kane of Dubuque, suc- cessor of Cardinal Gibbons as bishop of Richmond and afterwards rector of the Catholic Uniyersityat Washington, should have had the same initials and should both have been distinguished for oratory and scholarship.
 Archbishop Kain's funeral will take place next Wednesday,. Cardinal Gibbons will celebrate a pontifical mass of re- quiem and Archbishop Keane will deliver a sermon.

Elder Dowie's Methods.

Like General Booth, John Alexander Dowie is a man of high executive abil- ity, and courage and he has also sub lime condence in himself. General Booth employs no Elijah" methods and he makes no claims to unusual powers, and he perhaps should not be mentioned in connection with the ''n.ew Elijah," but both men are some what alike in business talent.
 In 19 months Dowie has established a city containing 10000 people, all en- gagged in gainful occupations, in new industries, and all remarkably obe- dient to himself. The town in ques- tion is called Zion City, and from it l, Dowie set out on eight trains, carry { ing 5000 crusaders, to conquer sin in New York, where 9,500,OOO persons, } 3l,, ostly sinners, are congregated. The Ttempt is an audacious. one, and it Piall be watched with interest.
 .The crusaders have capable leader D, l are filled themselves win plenty q enthusiasm, or perhaps, with re- lts us fanaticism. They will be con tra i'd while engaged in their proselyt- ing campaign by Dowie at every stage. This insures combined and intelligent action, and none of the crusaders will b' come lost sheep, and none of them will work aimlessly. The programme Is thus briefly stated:
 Every member of the force has been photographed and will carry a special Identification card bearing his photo graph, while a similar card will be on He at the New York headquarters. Rooms for all have been engaged in the city, and meals will be served to all at Madison Square Garden. Meal tickets ran be obtained in advance at $5 for thir- iy or more meals. They will be provided with special lnapsacks for carrying lit- erature when they are engaged in house. to-house work. All must keep diaries of their daily and hourly doings, which will be examined and checked up when they return, this in order to make sure they have not devoted zion's time to personal Interests.
 The audacity of the invasion will at. tract general public attention, and all will watch the work it does. Entire success is of course problematical, but as they do not intend to display them selves unnecessarily, aiming to do what has been assigned to them, it would not be surprising if the sum total of their accomplishments shoulG prove to be considerable.

Governor JeIks and Text Books.

Governor Jelks shows with clear operating to give all sections of the state books of high quality, but it is saving at least 33 per cent to the patrons of the public school in the prices of school books. Governor JellIs is not an amateur in the book trade. He understands every feature of it, and when he compares list prices with contract prices he knows whereof he speaks. By buying books in boards" instead of cloth a saving of fully 8 per cent can be secured in this state.
 In reference to the alleged monopo- ly feature of the new plan Governor Jelks is explicit. "A thoughtful man." requires a bond, one condition of which is that the contractor shall keep his books on sale in at least three agencies in each county, he must know that the sale must be confined to some one store in each of the three con- munities, in order to insure the keep ing of the books all the time. If every merchant were allowed to sell them at commission of ten per cent,

AMERlCA'S HENS GREAT
 FACTORS IN PROSPERITY

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 NY paid the respect that is due her.
 She is not only an important but wonderfully potential factor of the agri- cultural industry of the United States Yet even the average farmer considers her almost beneath his notice. He leaves her to the women and children and be- grudges her almost everything that makes even the slightest inroad upon his ordi- nary crop products. To her is assigned the stunt" of providing her own living, and she must do that by gleaning behind every regular harvest. After he has dug and garnered and threshed and closed his account with each particular item of pro- duction-provided he keeps such an ac- count-the hen can find her subsistence in what he has overlooked
 In other words, the poultry yard, to a great extent, is somewhat contemptuously regarded as a mere incident of his general business, Sometimes his wife or one of his children will take hold of that neg lected branch and put him to shame by making 1t the most profitable feature of the whole establishment. Yet a deliver in census returns, working for the Brook. lyn Eagle, informs us that last year the poultry and eggs produced and eaten in the United States were worth more than all the gold and silver mined in the world during the same year Except for the year 1900, the egg product of this country has exceeded in value that of it's com bned gold and silver output for every year since 1850, which takes in the entire bonanza period of our history That with
