 Ebert Hardy of Birmingham was best man, and Miss Esteile Bingham or Tus- caloosa acted as maid of honor. She wore a grey crepe de Paris and carried pink carnations.

Following closely on the row in the Fourth district, 1t is expected that the Seventh will soon be the scene of inter- heroine strife among Republicans. Last week there were several prominent Re- publicans from other counties in Gads- den, and there seems no doubt that trouble is brewing. The lily whites are said to have a majority of the commit tee and it is certain that this majority will attempt to run things their own way John J. Stephens of Attalla is the district chairman, and he is decidedly opposed to the methods of the referees. Nothing will be done in the way of com mittee meeting. however. until the na- tional committee meets on December ii. It is said by prominent local Republi- can that if Hanna controls there will be Hanna delegation from the Seventh a contesting one if necessary.

are more frequent than they used to be Z During the twelve months covered by the report 3.554 people were killed and 45.eH injured, as against 2.s1o killed and g soo injured in the preceding year, The Brook lyn Eagle says. At first glance this would seem to indicate growing careiessness on the part of railroad officials. We might also think to find an explanation of the increase in the greater congestion of traf- fic on certain routes and the consequent difficulty of managing the passenger ser vice so that the running time of one train does not come too close that of another The real explanation. however. Is supplied by that part of the Commission's report which shows that railroad mileage has greatly increased and that the volume of travel has also been augmented. With more trains and more passengers to ride in them and more engineers. conductors, firemen, brakemen and freight handlers to run them, 1t is rational to suppose that there will be more accidents. The pro- portion of mishaps to the travelling popu- lation of the country is, we believe. less today than 1t ever was.

A Kansas Conscience.

Every railroad is said to have "con- science fund" contributed to by those who have been overtaken by remorse af- ter wronging the company in one of the many ways possible, says The Kansas City Journal. However, 1t is doubtful if any company can show as tender con- science as that revealed to the Santa Fe railroad in the following letter addressed to the Santa Fe agent at Wichita:
 Everett, Wash, Nov. 6. "ro Agent at Wichita:
 "This summer, while attending camp meeting, I heard some rousing sermons on the fine of restitution. which caused me to see that had cheated the railroad company by carrying excess of baggage from Wichita Kas., to Oswego, Kas.. in October, 1901. judge I must have had nearly 220 pounds.
 "As I knew the rules of the railroad company. I feel that I did wrong, and write this to ask your. forgiveness. and to find out how much I am owing you Please let me know and will gladly pay you what Is right.
 q cannot afford to face anything like this at the judgment day, and know that all~ things that are not made right here will be revealed there.
