same painful position, his income depend ing in great measure on the number of prisoners committed to his care, therefore subject to f1uctuation, and necessarily most unsatisfactory. The idea was ad- vanced In the conversation that 1t would be good plan to write. letter to- each county sheriff and request his opinion as to the merits of the present plan, compar- ed with that of a salary based on his average gain from this source and others during five years. The opinions of body of men so experienced and so well ac- quainted with the subject would be val uable
 My interest In these subjects rest large ly upon the fact that am secretary for Alabama of one of the srandest and most beneficient organizations now existing, namely, "The International Charities and Corrections association" The membership of this society is made up of the leaders of humanity throughout the world. It's object is to study theoretically and prac- tically the best methods of dealing with dependents, defectives and delinquents- those heavy burdens upon every nation on earth. Every civilized country in the world including every state in the union, has secretary whose business 1t is to report annually every advance or retro gression in the care and cure of these unfortunates; also to gather all statistics which can be helpful in the study of the intricate problems connected with the subject. l did not seek this position; in- deed did not, know of its existence until 1t was, so to speak, thrust upon me. The 1amented Dr. Bryce was the first secre- tary for Alabama. After his death, the general secretary wrote to our secretary of state to ask fo the name of some citi- zen of this state willing to undertake this office. bearing. of course, without remun- eration, any expense and trouble Involved. The secretary sent him my name, and did not feel that conld consistently with my duty to our state. refuse to accept the office. I mention this fact in explana- ton to those. now happily few, who hold that the cobbler should not go beyond his last. the woman beyond her distaff, the teacher beyond the text book.

Facts About Marriage Set Forth By a
 oeneaIogist.

From the New York Sun. 4ss
 '.The marriages of family are good guide to go by fin determining It's charac- teristics," said woman whose business 1t is to hunt up pedgrees. T should warn any girl who has many old maid aunts and bachelor uncies not to, daily with her first proposal if she would not be an old maid herself. Likewise, be- lleve that a girls chances for remarriage, if widowed early, can be Judged pretty accurately from the annals of her fam fly in this respect"
 Just as a certain sort of eyebrow or cheek or chin formation is to be traced throughout an entire family. SO the at titude of the family toward marriage seems to be handed down.
 When, fin the course of my work. I am in doubt about the identity of a fam fly, I am guided a good deal by the char acter of the marriages set down. For these illustrate the dominant family traits which govern as much in love matters as in other concerns of life
 Tn some families early marriages pre- dominate. The men invariably marry before they are 25 and the women at a correspondingly early age. Again. late marriages will be the rule with members or eltneF Sex
 Some family trees show few second marriages. and rarely third marriage, no matter how soon the married state came to an end. Other records are re- plete with second and third and even fourth marriages on the part of widows and widowers
 "Often 1t occurs that in families of nine or more brothers and sisters only two or three have married, and the de- scendants of those two or three display ed similar proneness to bacheorhood and spinsterhood.
 t" Our family are not great on marry ing a glrl. one of four single sisters, remarked to me lately regarding the family likeness she was showing all grouped together on one .wall-panel.
 And I could not but feel that that arr ray of contented-loolipg singre entities among her kinspeople must exert some influence on her matrimonial prospects.
 Some families display marked ten dency to marry their kinfolk. or the connections or relations of their kinfolk. Others again seem by common impulse to have gone as far from home quarters as possible In search of mate.
 Tn records that go back only few generations there are inytances of men

The Weston.carrInqton Go.

Kendall Weston and Miss Mona Car rington have been relieved of the respon- abilities of the management of the Wes- ton-Carrington Go. and a managers or ganization has engaged the company to play at East Lake the remainder of the summer.
 The bad weather, strong opposition in the way of the horse show and "The Last Days of Pompeir' caused many very poor nights.
 The new arrangements were made last Tuesday and they started the Aquatic theater off with boom. The "Ironmas- ter has been the play and 1t has drawn capacity house every night. On Thursday night 1t rained all the evening and yet many put up their umbrellas and re- mained until the finale fall of the cur tain.
 If the Aquatic theater only was cov- cred it would reap a harvest to the Wes- ton-Carrington company as well as to the people controlling the rolling stock of Birmingham.
 "The Ironmaster' proved what people want and the company showed up to the very best advantage.
 Kendall Weston, star and stage director, played Derblay with an ease and grace that won him the complete approval of his audiences.
 Mona Burlington, the female star of the company never appeared to better advan- tage. Her strcng scenes were particular fly well rendered. This pair of actors act we'll together. and their success is beyond all doubt, assured now that they are sub stantially backed by good managers.
 The supporting company are all excel lent and have made a fine impression for their refinement and department in pub lic The Weston-C n-Carrington Stock com pany is especially free from an appear ance of commoners. Messrs. Denithorne. Forbes, Batter, Bowker Reardon, and Misses Graham, Proctor and Power, to- gether with MT.

 Tomorrow, Monday evening, "Confu- si&fo a three-aet farcical comedy will be produced with special care to detail and the entire company in the bill. It abounds in ridiculous situation and goes with a snap for two hours. The play was first produced in England at London theatre, and 1t enjoyed laugh minute success of some 2,000 nights.
 Special car service at 8, S:10 and s:20 will carry people out in eighteen minutes and the curtain will rise at S:45 every evening.

BERRY AND MONEY.

United States Senator James H.
Berry said at Paragould last
week:
81 abhor the use Of money in
politics. During my political ca
reer l have never spent a dollar
except in legitimate way. |
have never employed men to can
vass for me. have never hired
newspaper to praise me, and
have never abused a newspaper
to get the editor to abuse me and
create sympathy for me. 1t
makes me shudder to note the
tendency in the South towards
money in politics. have never
used it and never expect to. |
have never traded in politics by
which | agreed to do anything
for any man in order to get his
support"
This is much more than many
politicians can say,-a great deal
more than.many politicians who
have been in politics a much
shorter time than Senator Berry
can truthfully declare. Senator
Berry's honesty, both in public
and private life, is one Of the
greatest secrets of his success.
The success builded upon integ-
rity, such as Senator Berry has
attained, is the only success that
lasts throughout the years.

INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS

There are many in these later
days who have begun to claim
that the newspapers have lost
whatever influence they may have
heretofore possessed in the
moulding of public sentiment and
shaping Of public affairs. This is
most certainly untrue. The hon
est, fearless newspaper has al
ways welded an influence and al
ways will. The newspaper That
is always found advocating Che
cause of men and measures from
convictions of right instead of
from considerations of pelf will
not lose it's influence nor lose the
respect ofrespectable people. The
newspaper that from week to
week can be relied upon to choose
between men and public questions
according to it's belief of truth
and justice instead Of fawnihg
before carping hypocrites who
may have power and influence
with which to buy the support sof
the press, can also be relied upon
as a journal worthy the consid-
Grafton of the people, The pa
per that refrains from scramblirlg
into the band wagon of popular
leaders, because these leaders are
popular and because some favor
or financial gain may result to
them; the papers that are the
same yesterday, today, and can
be trusted to be the same tomor-
row; the papers that do not turn
double somersaults and perform
other acrobatic features with the
popular wave, can be trusted to
have some weight with the intel
ligent mind. Honesty with ones
self is the best policy, and the
pitiable creature who STILES his
conscience and better Judgment
for present gain, either political
or financial, will come to grief in
the end. 1t pays every man,
whether editor or not, to cleave to
the side of honesty and justice to
the best of his knowledge, for it
has been decreed that these
things shall prevail at last.

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott's sEmulSionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, 6ut
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased LUNGS.

Senator Mark Hanna will have
the distinction of having the
largest, as well as the smallest
majority of any Senator elected
from Ohio. Hanna succeeded
John Sherman in the Senate in
1897, by appointment, and when
he was elected for the unexpired
Sherman term and the full term
of six years ending March 5,
1905, he had only one majority
on joint ballot, after the most bit
ter contest ever waged in an Ohio
legislature. The plurality on
joint ballot Of over 100 for re-
election, more than triples any
previous record in Ohio, and is
one of the results Of Tom l..

ECHOES OF THE
EARLY ELECTIONS.

The result in Ohio makes plain
the finish of Tom l.. Johnson,
For several years he has had
control of the democratic organ
ization Of the Buckeye state, and
the result is no compliment to his
leadership whatever. In 1896
the republican plurality was 51,-
$40; in 1898 it was 81 ,199; in 1900
it was 69,036; in 1902 it was co.
465, and this year it is 125, 900.
What the next republican plural
ity in Ohio would be with Tom
johnson as the leader Of democ-
racy is too horrible for contem-
plation. Johnson has had an eye
upon the democratic presidential
nomination, but the figures have
plainly counted him out.

Roosevelt took up the gauntlet
and personally conducted the re-
