''Rain has come to Kau after an e1,-
ceeding1y long drought. On Saturday

ingly rough weather was reported.
ga small tidal wave at Hookena did
minor damage early Saturday morning.

The Montuomery Journal.

Frank Harvey Miller, who for two staff of The Age-Herald, and for the past year it's city editor, has purchased a half interest in the Montgomery Evening Journal and will assume the management of that newspaper. Those who know MT. Miller and his work are confident that he will make of the Montgomery Journal one of the bright est and best newspapers in the south.
 Than MT. Miller there Is no better trained newspaper man in the south. He knows the business from compos- ing room to editorial chair. His first work after graduating from Sewanee University, Tennessee, was to learn typesetting in the office of the Au- gusta (Ga.) Chronicle. After a years experience "at the case" he studied and practiced law in Augusta, under uio uioeihtouioliSu idthSi, WuO SlduuS at the very head of the Georgia bar. Nearly three years ago he came to Birmingham and accepted position on The Age-Herald for the training it would give him for later investment in g newspaper property. He has had that training; he has ample capital at his disposal and there is no reason why he should not make the Mont gomery Journal one of the leading newspapers of the south.
 The Age-Herald wishes and predicts for the Montgomery Journal, under Frank Miller, great success.

states are the only ones that are con fined in point of salt water to the gulf
 The Age-Herald urges the formation of such combination at St. Louis, not so much on the score of economy as on the ground of impressiveness. The four states could in $100,O0O building display products and unde- veloped resources that would attract the attention of host of visitors at the fair. In great show small ex- hibits are apt to be overlooked or undervalued, and the proposed com bination of the four states has in view the prevention of any such embarrass- ment
 The movement Is one that should be developed speedily in order that all four states may act in good season. At least one legislature is in session, and the other legislatures will or could no doubt be convened in good time. Instead of four weak exhibits in an overpowering show, let us have one that will fitly represent the resources of four great commonwealths stretch ing from the Chattahoochie to the Rio Grande-states that grow fiye-sixths of the American cotton crop, and about that proportion of the yellow pine crop, not to mention the iron, coal, oil, sugar, rice, naval stores and mills of all sorts scattered over the broad expanse.

State Uniformity.

The third house presents three points against state uniformity that are not at all sound. It says in the first place that the. teacher in the par ticular school is better qualified to se- lect text books than a state board would be- This depends of course upon the composition of the proposed state board. It would be possible to select a board that would measure up reasonably well to the teacher who is befriending and championing the book trust.
 Again, the third house says that a geography adapted to the use of a TO- year-old child in Montgomery county would not fit a 10-year-old child in Winston county, for example. Winston should deny the allegation and defy the allegators t-
 The third house, too, is suggesting as a remedy-generous souls-that county uniformity reduces prices. It does no such thing. It maintains book trust prices. It was devised for that purpose and there are plenty of the members of the legislature who know what humbug county uniformity is.
 The parents of Alabama school chil- dren are taxed $250,O00 year-inside fgures-for the benefit of the book trust, as figures readily obtainable from Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana readily show. In order to please certain lot of teachers and county superintendents and the book trust, is itright or just to levy such a tax upon the barefoot boys and girls of Alabama? Is it best when it makes straight for illiteracy, of which we have an oyersupply in the state al- ready?

TAKERS AT THE THEATRE.

From the New York World.
 The New York theatre-goer who rose in his place and pointedly called gay box party to order the other night, that he might be able to hear the play, was a man who dared in an excellent cause. He interrupted the drama sharply for a mo- ment. But without his interference the chatterers in the box would have blurred the performance during its entire length.
 The identity of the social leader whose misplaced conversation was cut off is published In the news. But 1t doesn't matter. She accepted the rebuke with smiling good sense which ought to have kept her in the first place from deserving it. The moral of the incident should spread far and effectively. It is a simple moral, thus:
 Small-talkers have no conversational rights in a theatre. except between acts. which people who go to listen to the play are bound to respect

Robert Burns.

The national poet of Scotland was born in 1759 and this is his birth anniversary, a day that Is celebrated over wider geographical extent and among a greater variety of races than almost any other event in the whole range of history
 This anniversary of Burns deserves special recognition in the United States and particularly in the southern states, as it commemorates the birth of the greatest democrat, in the noble sense of individual worth, that has lived in the modern word,' said a scholarly Scotch man last night. "On the ground of his distinctive and incisive note of human individualism-A mans a man for a that, Lay the proud usurpers low and literally hundreds of other verses and still more hundreds of actions in his own career, this distinction may be fairly claimed for him. The downpressed and the poor the suffering, down to the low Hest creature, all claim and hold his sym pathy.
 "The hold of Burns indeed, on the af- fections of mankind has often been ob- served as surprising, but 1t Is only so on the surface as his obvious powers and sympathies are of the profoundest kind, the kind SHat reach the heart and nina of man. He was the possessor of a spirit capable of hallowing and ennobling mans s varied moods That spark of na- ture's fire that he was so conscious of. finds a ready response from people of all temperaments and all conditions of life, and demonstrates how inevitably he has reached the inner nature of man-the sub stratum His soul is familiar with na- ture,s own undersong and with the won der of the world.
 'All voices find expression in the works of this bard brief and fragmentary as most of them are. The king, the patriot, the clown, the vagabond, the lover, the young man and maiden in all stages, are here, living, breathing, the very perfec- ton of naturalness. And there is satire capable of running quacks from the dis trict and humor equally spontaneous, and a fellow feeling with nature and the dunn creatures. Such is nasty sketch of Robert Murns.'

UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS.

From the Russellville Times.
 I am pained to see that the uniform state school book law is about lost. in the judgment of many. I do hope not. When the legislature gives us a county textbook law in place of one for the state, it means that when I move out of Frank lin county, which may be next year. I shall have to buy new books for my children. It will be so with all preachers and others who move often. Why not give us a state law? Why not head off the school book trust? I do hope, as citizen of this state, we shall be given law for the entire stated law for the people against the trust. It means great saving to the people, whom our legislature were sent to represent-not the trust l.. F. WRITTEN.
 The above voices precisely how large number regard a possible victory of the book trust oyer the people. We have vet to see or hear the first substantial argu- ment against law whose results in other states has been to lower the price of school books while leaving a fab margin of profit to the manufacturers anu dealers.

PiIinu on faxes.

The discounts of the banks of this town stand at about $7,000,000. This money is turned over, say, six times a year, making the annual total of notes executed $42,000, ,000. Under the Sowell bill these notes would have to pay tax of $420O0. As Jefferson is already taxed as much as ten average counties in the state, it seems unjust to add the item of SAP, 1000 on account of bank transactions alone.
 There are many who would stand such levy with great equanimity if it were to come from the banks them selves, but not dollar of 1t will be taken from their coffers, unless indeed a note. slips in when they are not look ing. This levy of $42, 1000 would have other borrowers of this district. As the bill stands perhaps fully 5000 in additional taxation would be collected in Greater Birmingham.
 Jefferson county is today paying money to support schools in half of the counties of the state, and a levy of another great sum annually would be very unjust. The strictly agricul- tural county would pay under the Sow ell bill an insignificant sum, for nearly all the transactions in rural districts are exempted by thesbill itself. leaving the weight and burden of its taxation and vexation upon the populous and business ifhtiesjendaiespeeaally upon Greater Birmingham 'es
 Jefferson county asks no favors, but it does ask and expect fair play. The business of this district should not be unjusty taxed. It is already paying no small part of all state taxation, and an addition of $10O,o00 more, laid not upon capitalists, but upon the business men of the district, would be distress ing, unfair and absolutely unjust.

A very, painstaking examination of the plumbing and closets of an outlying ward In Chicago has just been con ducted by Hull house, and ample evidence has been found to show why the ward in question is above all the rest of the typhoidfever ward of that city. Scarcely any of the plumbing was of the kind and extent required by law, and hundreds of pipes were in 8 1eaky condition, thus saturating the house with foul smells. Some houses have no flushed closets at all, employ ing such as are found in the rural dis tricts. Some of the closets are flushed from water drawn from the roofs. Some are connected with the sewer, but not with the water mains, such closets being of course out in the yard. Things in general in the ward in question were found to be on a semi rural basis, to say the least.
 The investigators proceeded to cap ture all the flies they could find in the ward, and about third of them were carrying on their feet typhoid fever baccilli. The microscope dis closed the entire secret Between bad plumbing and the flies the cause of the prevalence of typhoid fever in the warm months stood disclosed, and the Chicago papers are endeavoring to have the health department of their city correct the plumbing in the ward in question before warm weather comes again.
 No doubt drinking water does often contain the germs of typhoid fever. This has been demonstrated over and over again, until the disease has come to be consideredsa drinklng-water evil, Dut thC SCi luo Cdu DS HlulilpliSu Dy Ddu plumbing and unsanitary closets, and flies can pick up the germs thus multi piled and transfer them to food, and thus both food and drink become in. fected with the germs of the dread disease.
 The water in this city will soon he filtered, but typhoid fever will not be. come an unknown disease while the city is full of inferior plumbing, and closets are permitted to exist in back yards to which flies have access.
