High Degree Masons.

Birmingham Masons who attended the Scottish Rite reunion at Mobile have re- turned home All of the degrees of the Rite, from the fourth to the thirty-third were conferred. A class of hfty-two can didates received the thirty-second degree. It included Lieutenant Governor R. M Cunningham and Colonel E. L. Russell former president of the Mobile and Ohio The only Masons in Alabama eligible to receive the thirty-third degree were Dr. J. H. Phillips and pr. M Newfield of Birmingham. They were elected by the supreme council in Washington some time ago, but were only invested this week. the grand commander, J. D. Richardson presiding. The thirty-third work" how ever. was not completed, but will be next Sunday. here in this city, the grand com mander coming for that purpose.
 MT. Richardson is one of the leading members of congress, but he announces that he will give up politics at the end of his present term and devote his entire time to Masonry. As grand commander of the southern jurisdiction (the mother supreme council of the world) he has an official residence In Washington styled the Holy House of the Temple, some times jocularly called the Masonic vati- can. The grand commander also receives a stated salary, supposed to equal that paid congressman.

Tuskeuee's Endowment Fund.

The donation by Andrew Carnegie of s600,000 towards the endowment fund of Tuskegee's useful and practical institution, not only carries the total above million dollars, but it probably ensures the subscription without strong effort of the additional million deemed necessary to put the school on a per manent and secure foundation.
 This great gift not only goes far to release the principal of the school from the unpleasant task of money gather ing, but 1t is an assurance that the school will be maintained after the work of its founder has been com pleted. The permanency of the institu- tion is desirable and important, and this is practically secured by MT. Car negle's gift.
 The development of Tuskegee on eminently practical and useful lines in single lifetime. chiefly through the consistent and devoted earnestness of one man, Is one of the marvels of the time. Within about twenty-five years Tuskegee has been made by Booker T. Washington vital, living force among the people of his own race. It stands out an object lesson, and Mir. Carnegie considers 1t the solution of a vexed problem. It shows to what extent and in what way the vast army of blacks in the south should be educated. It means more farmers and better farm CTS. more artisans of all sorts, and MT. Carnegie is eminently correct in his judgment of the work done and plan ned to be done at Tuskegee.
 The Carnegie donation will extend far down the corriocc,3 of time, and no one can measure the great good 1t will do to this section of the country. It Is fine example of wise giving. It comes from a man of fine business sense, who is studying philanthropy as he once studied ironmaking.

Street Car System.

"It is generally acknowledged that Bir- mingham has one of the best equipped and most modern street railway systems in the country" said a resident last night.
 Tt not only has rolling stock that would be a credit to any city, great or small, but Its tracks are practically all new and are so thoroughly ballasted as to be equal to any steam railway line.
 There Is one matter, however, that l think the company should take up. and that Is the subject of owl cars Bir- mingham is large enough now to have cars at least once an hour after mid night. They would be especially well patronized on the Highlands line.
 "One who has never been on the streets at 2 or o'clock in the morning would be surprised at the number of people walk Ing in and out at that time in the morn- ing"

Rosters of Confederate Soldiers.

Director Thomas M. Owen of the department of archives and history ap- peals to surviving soldiers from Ala bama in the Confederate States army and to all members of Confederate Veterans organizations, associations or chapters in this state, to aid him In procuring original rosters, data and memoranda towards the compiling of complete roster of the officers and enlisted men of Alabamians who served in the civil war
 The clause in the legislative, execu- tive and judicial bill authorizing the secretary of war to make such rosters provides that the information shall be gathered from official or authentic records obtained by loan from the vari- ous states and other official sources. Director Owen has been placed in charge of this work by Governor Jelks, and better man could not have been selected. He will leave no stone un- turned to make a complete list of Ala bama soldiers together with each mans military history It is a big task, and also one of far-reaching interest.
 Under the terms of .ne federal law Director Owen asks every society or person who has old rosters, or other war records, to send them at once to him at Montgomery. All such papers will be carefully preserved and care fully returned to rightfu1 owners. He wants no "copies," as the war depart ment viii not make use of such papers. All original papers are, however, needed, and all should periodically assist in the work.
 "While," says Director Owen, Ala bama has claimed the proud record of having sent more troops into the serv. ice in proportion to population than any other state of the south, and that her loss was heavier than any other, irrespective of population (Fowler), this will be but an idle boast unless the published records in some measure sustain the contention.
 An immediate response is earnestly urged from all individuals, camps of Confederate Veterans, camps of Sons of Confederate Veterans, chapters of the Daughters of the Confectionery, and historical societies, who may have ros- ters, muster or pay rolls, war diaries or journals, reports, commissions, dis charges, paroles, or other war papers. Let them be forwarded in order that Alabama soldiers may receive the full credit due them in the rosters to be complied"

A MISSOURI PRIMER LESSON.

From the Kansas City World.
 Do you see the Man? Yes, I see the Man. Who is the Man?
 The Man is a Philanthropist. The name of the Man is Kelly. He has a large collection of 5000 Bills in his Inside pocket.
 And who are those other Men? They are the men for whom the Philanthropist is looking. They are also members of the Missouri legislature, Protectors of the People.
 People doing? They are looking for the Philanthropist.
 Why does the Philanthropist look so serious. He Is afraid the Protectors of the People will get away before he can give them some 5000 bills.
 Will they get away. Not on your life, my Son. They want to get rich quick and Protect the Peoples Food.
 And say. Pa, who are these two Men in the corner of the picture? Why, these, my child. are the sworn Enemies of the Protectors of the People. One lives in St. Louis and the other in Jefferson City. They are both mean lawyers who are looking for the Philanthropist and for the Protectors of the People who have been looking for the Philanthropist.
 And what will the Mean Lawyers do to the Philanthropist and the Protectors They will try to put them in Pen.
 And what will the People say, Pa? The people will say Amen. pay their taxes and elect some more Protectors

War in SomaIiIand.

No people like to be conquered and subjugated, not even the tribesmen in East Africa. Somaliland is the eastern horn of Africa, lying on the gulf of Alden and reaching up to the Red Sea and the bounds of Abysslnia. The tribesmen are of the race of the Abys. sinians, who were originally Arabs They are tall, strong and brown or black in color. They are nomadic and pastoral, and they have never been subdued. The Italians could not con- quer East Africa and England Is not doing much better In the recent bat tie between the tribesmen and a British force, all of the latter were killed but thirty. Nearly two hundred British soldiers were shot down.
 The British desire to occupy the country as a check to Russian efforts in Persia and Arabia, and the control of the Red Sea is tied up in the strug gle. No doubt a larger force of British troops will be dispatched to Galadi, and serious attempt made to bring the nomads to terms. All the powers are content to let Abyssinia alone, for she has a considerable army, fairly well equipped, and it is known that they will fight desperately. There Is always safety under such circum- stances. The fighting qualities of the Turks have served them well, for that is all that keeps the greedy powers from seizing Turkish territory. Who ever touches Turkey must fight long and we'll for 1t, and this alone Is hold ing the sultan in Europe where he Is wholly out of place and time and en- vironment. He belongs to the past, and not to the present or future.
 The inhabitants of Somaliland are not all Mohammedans, although there are some of that faith in the vast dis trict. Like the Abyssinians, they har- bor a variety of religions. They are simply good fighters, ana they do not like to become a conquered people. This seems to be the issue in Somali- land which England has encountered, but England is accustomed to such is- SueS.

FOUR HUNDRED ON STRIKE.
Laborers at Work on Soldiers Home
 Want SIPS a Day.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 24.-A special to the Journal and Tribune from Johnson City, Tenn, says:
 Four hundred laborers at work on the soldiers home went on a strike this aft ernoon for SIPS per day instead of $l15. All work on every building Is suspended. as seventy-five carpenters, thirty plas- terers and fifty brick masons also quit work out of sympathy for their fellow workmen. The Federation of Labor head quarters have already notified the men that they would be supported "a their de- mands
 It Is reported that some of the contrac- tors have threatened to import negro laborers from other points. Should this be attempted open threats are made that shotguns would be brought into play.
 The firms affected by the strike are Parish & Unkefer of Lynchburg, Va, Herman Probat of New York. Thomas J. Deane of Johnson City and several sub contractors.
 The United States is very anxious to push the work on this branch of the na- tional soldiers home, which will cost about $3'OOOO0O, so that veterans can be admitted to the home in the fall.

Parry and Hanna.
sues.

It was, of course, incumbent upon Senator Hanna as a republican leader and candidate for reelection to the senate to repudiate quickly and in no moderate terms the islanders uttered by Manufacturer Parry against or ganized labor. MT. Hanna's appear ance as a labor leader was, 1t is true, case of sudden conversion, and Man ufacturer Parry rises to object.
 MT. Parry speaks of MT. Hanna as a politician who had been "an energetic business man with labor record not particularly distinguished for lenien- cy." As. matter of fact, MT. Hanna fought down a couple of strikes, and he fought them by hard knocks and all the pressure he could bring to bear. But as Manufacturer Parry gently re- marks there is no telling what the political bee will make a man do when 1t gets to buzzing in his bonnet.
 MT. Hanna Is, however, a great em- ployer of labor. He outranks in that respect MT. Parry. The former man. ages street railroads, mines, ships and besides Is a manufacturer himself. MT. Parry is but plain manufacturer with an opprobrious tongue much given to distorted statements outside the world of facts.
 Whatever may have been MT. Han mas record in the past he Is certainly more nearly right than the remarkable D. M. Parry, who declares war upon organized labor all along the line. He has nothing to arbitrate, and he pro poses to crush union labor under iron heels MT. Hanna of the Civic Fedora ton on the other hand says:
 Within my knowledge the men who control the greatest industrial affairs and I mean by that term industrial af- fairs everything that enters into one industrial development-are satisfied that the efforts being made are in their in- terest, are satisfied that they have been totally preJudiced, and are ready to CO., operate, ready to give up the prejudices of the past, and to extend the hand of fellowship and join in this movement.
 There is hope and possible peace in the Hanna plan, while Parry calls for

 1 HE best expression of opinion ob- V tainable as to the probable value
 Of the American motor car out put for 1903. based on a detailed knowl- edge of early plans and a general obser- vation of spring market conditions to date, places 1t at $25,OOO.oOo In the Inner circles of the Manufacturers associa- tion the utmost confidence prevails that the demand will prove fully equal to the supply and that no car of merit will go without purchaser. As yet probably not more than four thousand or five thou sand of these cars-there should be about twenty-five thousand in all-have actually been delivered to customers. al- though many more. of course, have been ordered or are in the stores of agents throughout the country.
 Few persons realize what an addition of about 10000 motor cars to those ai- ready seen on American streets and roads will mean. By the end of the pres ent year there will be 100 of the modern vehicles In use In this country for every sixty in use today. The full extent of the spread of the new traffic movement will then be grasped for the first time by the outside public. Discriminating legislation will of a certainty become thing of the past, and the un-American and seemingly unconstitutional attitude of motorphobes of the present day which has resulted in the enactment Of licensing laws which make free and uninterrupted travel through the states almost an impossbil- ity, will no longer be tolerated. It Is a singular thing that as yet no very great part has been played by the business truck or delivery wagon in the evolution of the motor car era in the United States. Industrial vehicles, attractively designed and decorated, on great trucks, propelled for the most part by electricity, have att tracted considerable attention on the city streets, and one or two leading firms have been rushed with orders for their manufacture, but the advent of the in- dustrial motor vehicle in America is still a thing of the future In France, in Ger many and in England motor trucks of every conceivable type are in more or less common use. In America none but the electric vehicles have got much beyond the experimental stage and little capital is seeking to solve the problems pre- sented The present year will witness the continuation of the motor cars tri- umph over the horse vehicle for pleasure use.
 Next year, in all probability the real 'automobile" epoch will begin, with the solving, as none but Americans can solve, of the economic and engineering problems of the horseless truck There is no one bold enough as yet to pin his faith ab- solutely to either gas or electricity as the motive power of the commercial car. Manufacturers of electric trucks, which are today the predominating type, say that they are perfectly willing to make gas motors and abolish the storage bat
