and pair, for the equipage of cardinal is always drawn by two handsome black horses with flowing names and tails; be- sides new liveries, larger establish ment, etc. A cardinal known for his stinginess, however, succeeded in doing everything "on the cheap for $l6,O0O. Another prelate, whose private means were very limited, on being raised to the purple went straight to the Pope and told him frankly that unless he advanced him $20,OOO he would have to decline the great honor conferred on him.
 Leo XIII laughed good-humoredly and at once consented, as the cardinal in this case was "di curia;'' that is, resident in Rome, and therefore entitled to a yearly income of $12, 900.
 Many wealthy aspirants to the purple, in order to improve their chances, in directly let the Pope know that if made cardinal they would willingly forfeit their emoluments in favor of Peters pence. This is a powerful argument against which Leo XIII. is seldom proof. The four newly-elected Italian cardinah, are all "di curia," and therefore will cost the Vatican exchequer $4S.OOO year.

CHILD GROUND TO DEATH
 BY WHEELS OF STREET CAR
Rupert Walter, a Deaf-Mute and Seven Years Old, Mangled Horribly Almost in the
 Shadow of His Home. -..-..4..

In entire ignorance of any impending danger, Rupert Walters. years old, and a deaf mute. was ground to death yester- day morning at 10:45 o'clock by car g of the Riverside and Stone Street Line of the Montgomery Street Railway, on the corner of Dexter Avenue and Lawrence Street.
 The car was in charge of Conductor w. R. Black and Motorman M. O. Pee pies. Both were arrested immediately af- ter the accident by Patrolman w. F.. Slough and were confined in the police station, pending investigation of the ac- cident.
 Coroner w. H.. Tice was notified of the tragedy, but empannelled no jury nor ren- dered a verdict.
 The accident took place within a stones throw of the home of the child. 2c4 Dexter Avenue and his grand uncle, w. V. New ton, the proprietor of fruit stand at the same place, was one of the first persons to arrive on the scene of the accident. A number of people who were passing along the busy thoroughfare at that time saw the child mangled, and were. horror stricken. An immense throng of people hurried to the scene of the tragedy and crowded around the little body. crushed almost beyond recognition.
 Surgeons were immediately summoned, but arrived just in time to see the child breath his last. The Title fellow lived for about four minutes after the wheels had passed over his body, but was appa- rently unconscious.
 Car 29 was coming at a fair rate of speed down Dexter Avenue in the direction of Court Square. Rupert Walters was cross ing the Avenue from The Advertiser building, in direction of the Government Saloon. Dexter Avenue was the play ground of the boy, and he was a we'll known figure to persons working in that vicinity.
 About 20 feet from the switch of the Belt Line cars, the boy attempted to cross the tracks. but paused in doing so. The mo- torman, seeing the impending danger.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-07-17

rang his gong loudly. thinking to alarm the boy, who had ample time to cross the track.
 The motorman had, in the meantime, to an extent slowed his car, but seeing he would certainly run over the child if the car went farther, pulled his reverse brake. The brake refused to answer, however, and going at about four miles an hour, car 29 passed over the body of Rupert Walters. The awe-stricken mo- torman was not able to stop the car un- til he reached the switch. As soon as the car passed over the body of the child, he sraiseI himself half way but immediately fell back. His legs were crushed just below the thighs and his lower legs were horribly mangled. Both of the left wheels of the car passed over the limbs.
 It was said that the cause of the reverse brake refusing to work was that the car was just passing under an overhead switch. and that the trolley probably jumped the wire, thus leaving the car motor with no current.
 Both the motorman and conductor ex- pressed themselves as deeply regretting the occurrence, but believed it unavoid- able
 The body was carried to a nearby un- dertaking establishment. where 1t was dressed for burial The funeral will take place this morning at 10 o'clock from the residence of the mother of the child, 2O4 Dexter Avenue.
 Rupert Walters was the son of Mrs. L. E. Walters, a widow. living with her uncle, W. V. Newton. Despite his af- fiiction. the child was unusually bright and for the past two years attended the school for the deaf and blind at Talla- dega. He leaves his mother and two sis- ters, Misses Evenue Walters and Beulah Walters. The child had a number of friends and all yesterday afternoon sym pathizers visited the grief-stricken mother. It will be remembered that several months ago a negro woman was killed by a street car at exactly the same place.

GRADING PAPERS
STATE BOARD AT WORK ON PAPERS OF JULY EXAMI-
 NATION.
Recent Examination Most Important Since Enactments of New Law. Several Applicants from
 Montgomery Passed
 Yesterday.

The State Board of Examiners has be- gun it's work of passing upon the papers of the applicants who took the recent ex-- animation for teachers licenses. The State Board is composed of Hon. I. W. Hill, State Superintendent of Education, Professor w. B. Feagin and Miss J. Nicholine Bishop.
 The Board passes upon the qualifca- tions of every applicant in Alabama for teachers license. The questions pre- sented to the applicants are prepared by the Board, afterwards being sent to the Superintendents of the various counties, who place them before the applicants.
 The answers to the questions are taken up by the Superintendents, and sent to the State Board. These answers are ex- amined and graded by the State Board, which decides whether the applicants have attained the standard of efficiency required by the law and the Department of Education.
 The recent semi-annual examination of teachers held July was the most im- portant since the enactment of the new educational lava .oz:
 Many of the Second and third grade licenses expired in June and their holders were compelled t6 renew them. More ap- phcaats 5therefors took the July examf- nation than applied at any other exami- nation.
 The State Boafd will probably be at work upon the papers of the applicants several months. Among the papers pass ed upon yesterday were those of a num- Der .of-applicantA from Montgomery. The following applicants will be allowed hcensess

SAMOAN LAND QUESTION.
Slaughter of UpOIu Natives Advocated
by a TutuiIa Chief.

TUTUILA. March so. via. San Francisco.
April 13-The natives of Tutuila have been
much asitated lately over the claims of
German Samoans TO land in Tutula. One
of the chiefs advocated the assault and
slaughter OF all Upolu people who might
come over to Tutuila to claim land Several
young men set out with the determination
of carrying out the decree of the chiefs.
They were promptly arrested by order of
the secretary of native affairs and po-
litical imbroglio between the government
of the United States and the German gov
ernment in Samoa was avoided. This land
question was anticipated when the flag was
first hcisted and in the deed of cession OF
Tutuila to the United States the natives
stipulated that there should be an investi-
cation into the land question by the United
States government, and the hopes OF the
Tutuila Samoans are now in the United
States to redeem their lands for them after
the adjudication of court or commission
of competent jurors had made decision.
The German government has appointed a
mixed commission of Germans. Britons
and Samoans, but so far the United States
government has done nothing.
