The funeral will take place this afternoon at o'clock from the residence, 1916 Avenue G. and the interment will be in Elm Leaf cem- etery
 It seems that the child, who was only a little over three years old, was left in a room by herself yesterday. while her mother went to the back yard. The child went to the fire and in playing around the grate her dress caught and in a few seconds she was entirely enveloped in the flames The screams of the child brought her mother to the room and she found the child a mass of flames.
 Mrs. Tipler extinguished the fire as soon as possible, but she was too late to save the child, who had swallowed some of the flames, besides being terribly burned. Physicians were summoned at once, and an effort made to save the child's life, but it was impossible. She died early in the afternoon. Mir. Tipler is a puddler in the rolling mills

''DAD" THAYER WILL BE ALLOWED BAIL Remarkable Prisoners Bond is
 Fixed at S2000 WAS SENT UP" BY MISTAKE A Mistake in Copying Record Caused Him to Be Sent to Penitentiary. Is a Trusty in Every Sense
 of the Word.
WAS SENT UP" BY MISTAKE

Leonard Thayer's bond has been fixed at 5000, but an effort will be made tomorrow morning to have it reduced to s15OO
 It is thought that he will have no trou- next two or three days.
 MT. Thayer was some time ago tried and convicted and sentenced to serve twelve and one-half years for the killing of Mike Sullivan in Pratt City about two years ago. It will be remembered that his case was taken to the supreme court and that word was sent back to Birming- ham that the judgment of the lower court had been affirmed and he was sent to the state convict farm at Speigners' to serve his sentence. About three weeks ago it was discovered that an error had been made in the report on the case by the supreme court and that instead of af- flrmed 1t should have been marked "re- versed."
 Will Be Released on Bond.
 He was accordingly brought back to the county jail at Birmingham to await the fixing of a day for a new trial, and 1t now looks as though he will be released on bond.
 Leonard Thayer is an old man, 66 years old, with long, iron gray beard and unusual prisoners that has been confined in the local jail. He is trusty in the fullest sense of the word. He is always affable and in good humor and is an al- most invaluable man about the place.
 The prisoners all call him Dad" and they never tire of hearing him tell about his experiences at Spiegners. He talked Interestingly last night Of his life:
 q was born in London" he said, ''and came to Alabama eighteen years ago and at the time of my arrest was living in the same house in Pratt City that moved into when I came to Alabama. During all the time I have been here I have mined coal for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and that is the finest company l have ever worked for in my life"
 Compliments Officials.
 MI. mayer spedh- very niBnly or all the prison officials with whom he has so far come in contact. He spent about five months at Speigners'.
 These prison officials will treat a man all right if he will behave himself. Cap tain Fields, the warden at Speigners' is an especially good man and always has a good words for deserving convicts and lpndS or7.ipx
 We had big time down there Thanks giving. We barbecued two oxen, four sheep and four hogs and the convicts had a feast"
 It is also interesting to hear Dad tell of the skillful work of dog warden, Captain Wilson, who has charge of the farms bloodhounds and who has trained them to their present efficiency in assist ing to catch escaped conyicts

duty is that which is due from one
person to another. There are many
duties which fall upon the active mem
Der, and they are varied in their ma
ture. His field is that in which young
men are and everything pertaining to
their welfare is a duty for the active
member to perform.
In speaking of the privileges of the
active members, Mr.. Jackson defined a
privilege as "a peculiar benefit or ad-
vantage; a right or immunity not en-
joyed by others" The privileges or
the active members are the same as
those of associate members, with some
additional ones. They have the privi-
lege of voting and holding office, and
of serving on the various committees.
Every duty is a privilege. and should
be so considered. we should learn.

Closing Thoughts of Address.
In closing his address Mr.. Jackson
laid down several principles which un-
derlie all real success in carrying on
the work of the association. Every
active member assumes possibility.
He cannot meet the responsibility with
out a love for young men and the work.
He cannot love efficiently without
SInQylnR young men anu lIlt WOi n
This involves a daily study of God s
word which feeds the soul finds the
heart and stimulates the desire to serve
others"
"In closing" said Mr.. Jackson, let
me exhort you to study young men; to
study the history of the association
and its methods of work, and TO study
the Word of God. Study all these
things, not only for yourself, but for
others. for the church, for the associa-
ton and for the community in which
you live"
The address was logically built up
and made a good impression on all who
heard it.
The Arion Male Quartette rendered
several beautiful selections during the
course of the evening and each num-
Der was greeted with well merted ap
plause.
A resolution of thanks was unani
mously adopted, extending the thanks
of the mem ers of the ladies' Auxiliary
for the supper served; to the Arion
Quartette and to the retiring directors
whose conscientious work had brought
the association to it's present high
standard.

rectors will be held in a short time
at which officers will be elected and
plans for the coming year mapped out.

GIVEN THEIR DESERTS,
One of an Organized Band Con-

One of an Organized Band Com
victed and Others to be Tried.
Special agents of the Central of
Georgia and of the Southern, have been
at work with the assistance of the po-
lice of Macon, in an effort to break up
the petty stealing from cars and de-
pots that has been going on for some
time. How successful they have been
in their work is shown in that during
the last year. some twenty persons
were arrested and a number of them
convicted.
Some of these were connected with
Jones and Sloan, in an organized band
with headquarters in Macon. and op-
Grated on all lines entering that city.
Cars were robbed in or near Macon, and
the plumber sent to confederates of the
robbers in other parts of the country
to be disposed of. In this way the de-
tectives were for long time baftied, but
finally unearthed the plan and recov-
cred thousands of dollars worth of the
stolen goods.
Some of the cases growing out of the
arrest of these men were disposed of
at the last term of the Superior Court
at Waynesboro. Among the men con-
victed then was John Henry Jones. The
case of Henry Sloan. jointly indicted
with Tones. was continued until the
next term. Sloan was released under
a $1,000 bond.
Detective Thomas Hewitt. of the
Central, who had cleverly worked up
the cases against Jones and Sloan. as
sisted Solicitor Reynolds in the prose-
cution. and showed himself as clever
in preparing the case against the ac-
cused men as he had been in ferreting
out their crimes and causing their ar
rest.
