 In regard to those editorial CD jaunts We had applications, or requests from only three, just three, to work them through on our pass and not one of them knew a F point quad from proof press and one of them could not write correctly ten line local. We did not work them through" The railroads show many courtesies to newspapers and 1t is not right to abuse them. The Louisville and Nashville officials have done a great deal for the press of Alabama and Colonel J. M. Falkner a representa- tive of this great system of railroads is truly a friend to the newspapers, and 1t is a sad mistake on the part of some one to treat him as he was in this editorial CD excursion And we feel good because we were not a a party to it. We have one question to ask. Did each one of these so-called publishers pay the $2. membership fee ipto the treasury of the Association. If we are not wrongly informed one who joins must first pay S4 and each year after g. Now answer this please. How many newspaper men paid the two and four dol lars and how many of the excursionist paid the two and four dollars in the treasury of the Association and how much cash is now on hand. We are not a member of the Association, but ask for information.

CAUSED BY LIGHTN1Naa
Experts Report on the Tuscaloosa Explosion.

Tuscaloosa, Aug. S.-(Special)-J. S. Clark, representing the Ocean Accident and Guarantee Company of Atlanta, Ga, is in the city. MT. Clark's business here is to appraise the damages recently done here by the blowing up of the Tuscaloosa Light and Ice Company's boiler After a very careful investigation he states that the accident was caused by the lightaing just before the explosion. He said that when he first read the newspaper account that 1t was his belief that the disaster was caused by the explosion of the boiler only, but after investigation he traced marks of the lightning on the smoke stack. He says he was prompted to ex- anime the stack because lightning is al- ways attracted by a heated conductor. He also found the armature in the dyna- mo burned out which was protected against short circuit. After these evil dences he decided that after the lightning struck the stack it descended into the boiler and entering the f1ue of boiler blew out the fire box. This weakened the boiler with the 12O pounds of steam and caused the disaster.

 The secret of this mighty healing pow CT, this marvellous fluid Is known to me alone. It Is mine to give to whom I will and my works go before me. Doubt not! I ask no man to believe me, but I give to every man free this priceless boon and it restores him instantly to perfect health.

With this mysterious com pound no man or woman will ever again be troubled with syphilis or any of it's evil effects.
 Remember it matters not what stage your case may be in. It matters not how long you have had 1t, how you got it or when you got it. It matters not what doctors or scoffers say. This is no ordi- nary drug or medicinal method of treat ment, but it is the vital life spark itself, and it matters not how many remedies or doctors have failed have repeatedly and instantly cured the worst old cases, heal- ed the sores and caused the mucous patches. copper eolored spots, and other evidencesi of this terrible poison to dis appear like magic.

My wondrous discovery has startled the world by its miraculous effects, and yet seek not fame or glory. It sufflces me if I may be the humble instrument of Natures greatest power in bringing all men to the enjoyment of perfect health and I do it free. In the time allotted to me here on earth shall do all that in my power lies to give my fellow-men the benefit of this great secret and my reward shall be in the knowledge that I have done unto others as I would that others should do unto me. eosu

:. Failure to Explain Suspicious.

Clayton Record.
 The trip of the Alabama Press Associa- tfon through the North and points in Canada has resulted in something of sensation. The. Montgomery Advertiser has exposed MT. Rountree, the secretary of the Association, and makes some rather ugly charges which 1t seems per- fectly able to sustain. In the first place. not over fifty bona fide newspaper people were in the party while the entire num- Der of excursionists was 1S0. Elegant en- tertainments and manifold courtesies were extended, and the trip of itself must have been very delightful. All of those who were not representatives of the Alabama Press received consideration as such, and hence an imposition was practiced both on the railroads, who furnished transpor- tation, as they thought, to newspaper peo- pie, only, and on those who provided the entertainment wherever the party stop ped. MT. Rountree managed the financial end, and, from. The Advertisers charges, which he has not seen fit to deny must have made quite a snug little profit to himself. We regret exceedingly that MT. Rountree is culpable, and that his, con- duct, thus far has not been explained to the satisfaction of his brethren and the general public.

It was over at Memphis that he had a booze-seller up responding to the power of the press. ," Not long ago a gentleman who had no more connection with the Alabama press than The Courier has with the manage ment of the Pearly gate, asked the editor of The Courier If he, the editor, was going on the press excursion. We informed him that we were not, and he replied by saying that he was going and would like to represent The Courier. if he had known that We were not going. We replied by stating that he could not have had this honor for he was in no wise connected with the press. This character of fraud and disregard of the laws of the Asso- ciation should be suh1cent to cause the

The country has been trying to forget one Russell A. Alger, whose record while Secretary of War has been embalmed along with the beef issued by his depart ment to our soldiers during the War with Spain. It remained for Senator John M. Thurston. of Nebraska, to dig him up in a recent speech at Detroit, Mich, Alger's home, and we have rarely seen a finer specimen of bloviation than he got off on that occasion. He thus alludes. to Alger's enemies:
 Blind as bats in the serene sunshine of his success, they have swarmed in the darkness and flung their puny inkblots at the shining splendor of his stainless shield. But the country knows, and the world knows, and impartial history will declare, that the war administration of Russell A. Alger stands first in all the annals of recorded time.
 That, 1t seems to us Is about the limit in the way of fulsome adulation. espe- cially when we consider the subject of it. If Alger has many friends of that brand he will do we'll to have them muzzled be- fore they try to out-do Thurston.

For One Flea. sb. b.ooO.

Five thousand dollars is a big price to offer for one flea. but that is the amount positively offered by the Hon. Charles Rothschl!d of England for one of those bothersome insects. MT. Rothschild needs polar flea to complete his collection of these insects, and the 5000 will be paid over to the person who brings hlm flea from the back of the Arctic fox. The flea of the Arctic fox is to flea fanclers what the egg of the great aux is to the collec- tors of birds eggs. Mir. Rothschild has fitted out a whaler. which is now in the far north. to look for this flea among other Arctic curiositieS.

The inference. of course. is that our passes were trans ferred to some of tSei many others who did go on the trip, and who did not have transportation in theh' own names. For the information of The Advertiser we will state (as well known to Colonel Falkner and the readers of this paper) that we used these passes ourselves two days later on regular trai going as far as Chicago over the Press Associations route, thence to Southern Michigan over the Lake Shore Railway In a personal letter from Colonel FsIlkner to the editor of The News he says: Your explanation is entirely satisfactory I overlooked the fact that you did not contemplate going on the special train whhen wrote my let ter of the 18th" We hope The Adver- tiser will set us right before its readers in this matter.

Like a Georgia Press Trip.
Columbiana Chronicle.

COlumDldna GnTOnlcle.
 There have been some murmurings of dissatisfaction all over the State at the manner these excursions have been con- ducted. There has been too many out siders on these excursion parties which are intended for the benefit of newspaper men. and who are actively engaged in running a paper. In other words the price of the trip was $29 in cash. $42 in advertising for each person going on this outing, and the incidental expenses of the trip excluded the country weeklies from these excursions. There are a lot of weekles in the State that are giving the railroads. according to location more space than the city papers. and yet they are deprived from these outings by the high rates. We heartily endorse the ef- forts of Hon. J. M. Falkner of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad to break up this imposition upon the roads which should have been remedied within the As- sociation years ago. The Canadian trip has resulted in the way the Georgia Press trip to Cuba some years ago when Secretary Barker came out several thou sand dollars to the good.

Time for Action.
Florence Herald.

su.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has done a great service to the press of Alabama by bringing to light Secretary Rountree' s business methods in connection with the recent Canadian excursion.
 The Advertiser brings proof to show that Secretary Rountree has been enjoy ing a private graft. by which he feather ed his nest to the extent of about $3925, by over-charging for sleeping cars, and accompanied its assertion with such caustic remarks that Mir. Rountree was compelled to demand an investigation of MT. Yerby, the president of the Press Association,
 In doing this, Mir. Rountree has only forestalled the members of the Associa- tion ,as 1t Is likely that a general demand would have been made for searching inquiry into the matter.
 There has been dissatisfaction for some time over the way the annual excursions have been managed, and The Herald has on several occasions voiced It's disap- proval. The credit of the Association now demands that thorough investiga- tiou be made and the guilty brought to justice.

The Abuses Should Be Stopped.

HayneVIIIe Examiner.
 The State press has been making 1t rather unpleasant for Secretary Rountree since the return of the press excursion from Canada ,on the annual outing of the Press Association. The abuses which have been made of the railroads courte- sIes In furnishing transportation to the press association should be stopped, and the charges of unfairness should never have any foundation again. Secretary Rountree has asked for an investigation which we hope will clear up all charges of abuses permitted by him of the oour- tesies which has secured as Secretary of the Alabama Press Association.

Thanks to The Advertiser.

BeIRntOn NeWS.
 Thanks to the good work of The Mont gomery Advertiser it is safe to conclude that if the Alabama Press Association" ever takes another excursion, the party will be made up exclusively of newspaper workers and members of their families as it should be. Of the party of lS9 which recently went on the Canadian tour. it is said that less than forty were bona fide newspaper workers. The majority of the others were-imposters, hoodwinking the railroads and travelling on passes issued to others. Colonel Falkner is investigat- ing this fragrant abuse of his company's courtesies and those found to be guilty will probably be deprived in the future of this useful perquisite of the newspaper 'man-the free pass

If the Officials Won't Act.

COOSa River NeWs
 If the officials of the Association can not be induced to do so the other actual members of the press of Alabama (and all other actual newspaper men who have kept out of the alleged Alabama Press Association for good causes) should at once meet at either Birmingham or Mont gomery and reorganize the Associa tion, or. if necessary. form an entirely new or ganization. We would not be willing to concede to the defunct organization the pretty and euphonious name Alabama Press Association" but the record of the loose e-jointed, lame-brained band of de- lectable junketers for the past ten years should be effaced and forever.

Act and Act Promptly.

The officers of the Alabama Press As sociation should act and act promptly and make thorough investigation of the re- cent Canadian trip. If there has been mismanasement, and there evidently has, the blame should be placed. This loose method has been carried on so long that d stigma rests on the Associat ton. It needs a moral purification. If some steps are not taken in this direction The Press for one will withdraw from the Associa- tion. We will not be party to skin game method" |"

Should Be Able to Disprove Charges

GreenVIIIe Living Truth.
 It is now up to Secretary Rountree of the Press Association to clear himself of the charge made against him by The Ad- vertiser. The Advertiser in plain lan- guage charges that MT. Rountree ran the scheme, and that MT. Rountree made a good round sum for his trouble If the charges as alleged by The Advertiser are true the Alabama Press Association has dishonored itself. If untrue, MT. Roun- tree should have no trouble to produce facts to clear himself. If Mr. Rountree fails to do this the Press Association of the State will stand in the eyes of the people as full of rottenness and wrong doing as Missouri politics

A Swift Explanation Needed.

Ft. Payne Journal.
 The newspaper fraternity of the State will commend the war which The Mont gomery Advertiser has commenced against the abuses of the privileges of the Press Association by outsiders. It de- velops that on the recent excursion of alleged editors to Canada that 1855 per sons took advantage of the trip. of whom about forty were newspaper people, the balance rank outsiders. This abuse of the privileges of the press has grown to be burden to the railroads and a dis grace to the Association. To such an

His Silence Prejudices His Case.

Cullman Democrat.
 From the showing made by The Adver- tiser we confess that it looks ugly for the Secretary. If he only paid q LAO for the four sleeping cars and demanded and received from the parties on the trip to Canada $5,365, we do not believe that he can make any showing of clean hands. However, he has called for an investiga- tion and we are disposed to await results The President should appoint thorough and capable men to conduct the investi- gation. If the secretary is not guilty of applying any of the money to his per- sonal use he has baen done a great in- justice. If he is guilty of taking one cent of it he Is the meanest man in Alabama and ought to be expelled and disgraced.
 We have consistently been the friend of MT. Rountree for many years and re- gret his present predicament. He is pre- judicing his case by his silence when the time for silence has passed. There has never been the slightest call for secrecy in these matters and we can't understand why the public shouldn't have all the facts for anybody's asking.

Was Making a Good Thing.

Camden Banner.
 It seems that the press excursion in which few pressmen participated. is go- ing to cause trouble. Not only were the railroads taken in, but our Canadian cousins as we'll, and the only parties who were aware of the deception were Capt. J. NJ. Falkner and Secretary Rountree. The former knew his road was being duped. but kept quiet-the latter was making a good thing out of the excur- sion. and 1t paid him to remain silent but old grandma has given the boys and girls a piece of her inexhaustible mind
