about TO be turned out OF their present
resting place and become homeless unless
some one came TO the rescue
Smithson was buried at Genoa. but the
authorities have just arranged to make
another disposition Of the ground and de-
mand that his dust be removed without
needless delay. proposal was made 10 the
regents that the institution should take

honors in the Smithsonian grounds. The
regents rejected the proposal however. and

constant is the strain of having to plan
programmes months ahead, to superintend
revivals and new productions, and to meet
emergencies arising out of the inevitable
''indispositions'' of almost ruinousy expen-
sive stars. This season the indispostions,
which the public resents (often most I'M

usual, and the strain upon the managerial
nerves has been proportionately great. On
Christmas day Ito take one instance) three
of Mr.. Grau's prime dome, from various

previous obligations, from acting as a sub

star who could have been called upon had
nothing the matter with her. So the Opera

The Migration Of Birds.

The birds which travel by night in
clude by far the greatest number Of
migrants. Among them will be found
the thrushes, with the exception of the
robin and the bluebird, which migrate
by day; the nuthatches and titmice,
creepers, thrashers and wrens,
warblers, tanagers, vireos most of the
sparrows and fnches, orioles, mead
ow larks, fly catchers, with the excep-
tion of the king bird, the cuckoos and
the WOOdpeckerS. You will observa
that most Of these birds have neither
very strsng nor very rapid flight, and
consequently require the shelter Of
darkness to protect them from their
enemies. Moreover, most Of them
take their food in small quantities,
and require some time to make full
meal. If they attempted to divide up
the day between eating and migrating
they would travel but slowly SO they
journey by night, and spend the day
in feeding and resting.>
The day migrants, On the other
hand, are for the most part birds
strong enough to resist attack or
swift enough to avoid it. They in
clude the horned larks, tit-larks,
robins, b1uebir6s, cedarbirts, swallows,
crows, nighthawks and chimney
swifts, huTming birds, hawks and
doves. Some Of .these-the night
hawks and chimney-swifts, for ex-
ample-do not require to stop for food,
but feed On the wing as they travel;
the rest, although they may have to
stop for refreshments now and then,
are SO swift of wing that they can
easily make up for lost time. OF
course, there are times when some of
these migrants are obliged to cross
considerable bodies of water, and in
such cases it sometimes happens that
they have to travel during part or
the whole of night.-Woman's Home

RULES COMMITTEE OF LOWER HOUSE
 10 RECOMMEND THE RULE OF MBJ0RI1

sembly three-fifths vote was necessary to change any of, the rules. It is not known whether any change will be rec commended in this rule by the Rules Com mittee.
 It was said that with the exception of the proposed change as to. the vote on taking a bill from the adverse calendar no other important alteration in the rules of the last Legislature would be recom- mended. It was stated that a number of minor changes would be reported by the committee in ordtr to conform with the provisions of the Consultation In the transaction of the business of the House. s The number of committees and the number of members each is to contain was also decided at yesterdays meeting to be reported to the House for approval this morning.
 It was stated that the Rules Committee would recommend to the House the crea- ton of one committee in addition to those of the last General Assembly. The new committee is to be called the Committee on Capitol and Capitol Grounds. To this committee will be referred all bills re- iating to the extenslon of the Capitol or the acquisition by the State of the south half of Capital Square. Both propo- sitions have ardent supporters in the House.
 It was also stated that member of the Montsomery delegation would be named as chairman of this committee. Speaker Tunstall was engaged last night to q late hour in making out the com mittees. They will. in all probability. be announced today. as soon as the report of the Rules Committee is adopted by the House.

DR.GREGORY'S
BAPTIST MINISTER ENTERrAIN-
 ED LARGE AUDIENCE.
"oueer Double Bow Knots-By One Who Ties Them" Was Subject at the Adams Street
 Church.

V v
 A large and representative audience was entertained in, pleasing. manner at the Adams Street Baptist Church last night by pr. O.. F. Gregory. pastor of the Church. in the rendition of his latest lec- ture. "Queer Double Bow Knots"
 At o'clock pr. Gregory offered foree- ful prayer.
 He began the lecture by alluding to the Southland and how. it's natives are en- deared to their homes. He said some Southerners were as devoted to their households as to their own lives. He then spoke of the caution that should be taken by young persons who are. as pr. Greg ory said, candidates for marriage.
 He advised young ladies to delay the marriage ceremony as long as possible and said 1t was best for young men to marry at an early stage in life.
 pr. Gregory made allusions to the love story of Priscilla and John Alden in the early settling days. and quoted passages from Owen Meredith's Lucille to express some of his points.
 He told of various marriage cerefnonies which had come under his notice and in the relation of each wittiness was fea- ture.
 His experiences with country people and people of foreign birth were extremely interesting.
 pr. Gregory gave much good advice to the younger members of the audience of both sexes and his address was extremely profitable and entertaining.
 In closing Dr. Gregory said: When you want to get married will be glad to see you and after you are married win also be pleased to see you"
 The lecture was enjoyed greatly and developed the fact that the new pastor of the Adams Street Church can tell a good story as well as preach good ser- mon.

CAN DRAW THEIR PAY.
ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES
 OPINION ABOUT SALARIES.
Settles Question Raised of Legality of Issuing Warrants to Legis- lators and Clerks Under Con-
 tinuing Appropriation Act.

In . verbal opinion rendered yesterday evening at the request of Auditor Thomas l.. Sowell, Attorneys General Charles G. Brown held that a special appropriation of the Legislature was not necessary 70 pay the salary of the legislators and reg ular clerical force of the Alabama House of Represents tives and Senate.
 The point had been raised that because of the change of conditions effected by the Constitution a special appropriation bill would have to be passed by the Leg islature before the Iaw-makers and their assistants could draw salaries. iIn tor- mer years the Legislature. or General Assembly, as 1t was then known, met In November prior to the first of January the end of the continuing appropriation It was held that Q new condition was inaugurated by the change of the time of meeting of the Legislature.
 The fact that a special appropriation bill might have ta be rushed through was more or less discussed by the Legis- lators. Auditor Thomas l.. sowell re- garded the matter as serious enough to ask an opinion from the Attorney-0en- eral, and State Treasurer J. Craig Smith announced that he would not pay legis- lative warrants, if there was any doubt as to their legality.
 InG OptIiou VA 1@StOthOS ~1CAot@N NA~N@s that the warrants could be legally drawn and paid. settled the question. He held that a change in Lne aate of holding the State election or in the assembling of the Legislature did not affect the legality Of the continuing appropriation act as pass ed by the last General Assembly. The distinction pointed out, he sheld. was drawn too fine.
 The Attorney General has held. how ever, that out of the general apDropria- ton bill passed by the last General As- sembIy the legislators and regular clerks and employees of the House only could be paid.
 Under the Constitution. he held that ex- tra clerical help must be paid under the provision of a special law.
