From the New York Mail and Express.
 XN NE hundred years ago from next k\OI Sunday. Robert Emmet. the TO- O mantle and favorite Irish pa- triot. was executed for high treason in Dublin. A few weeks ago King Edward and his Queen rode not only unscathed but triumphant in that city, and later on the political heirs of the strenuous young martyr thankfully accepted the grant of the generous provisions ot the land purchase bill at the hands of Mir. Wyndham, chief Irish secretary, and grandson of that other eminent patriot, Lord Edward Fitzgerald In the course of a century what revolutionary changes the fiery spirit of Emmet has wtnesseoI Think of the conflicting sensations with which the ghost of the martyr at g must have turned from the contemplation of Daniel O'ConnelIs taunting accusation against Dsrael as "the heir-at-law of the blasphemous thief who died impeni- tent on the cross;' from Parnelrs def- ant allegation flat None of us will be satisfied until We have destroyed the last link which binds Ireland to Eng land;' from Devoys savage demand for ''the severance of all political connection with England;" from all this to the re- cent mild and Inrebuked reference by MT. wyndham to the "bogy of home rule"
 His fervent youth, his devoted attach ment to Miss Cnrran, his equally loyal protection by the faithful Anne Devlir, his eloquent defense of himself when on trial for his life and. above all, perhaps, the poetic celebration of his patriotic ardor by his sehool-felow, Tom Moore, these are the things which have perpet- uated Emmets fame. Expelled from Trinity College, Dublin. when only twenty years of age Q79S), for avowing republican principles, he joined the as- sociation of United Irshmen who under took to separate Ireland from Great Britain and establish an independent re- public. Like the unfortunate Fitzgerald, he became leader in the movement,

FROM TN MEMORIAM."

By Alfred Tennyson. O. vet we trust that somehow good
 will be the final goal of i'll,
 To bangs of nature, since of will, Defects of doubt, and taints of blood: That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall be destroyed, Or cast as rubbish to the void When God hath made the pile complete; That not a worm is eleven In vain,
 That not moth with vain desire
 Is shriveled in fruitless fire. Or but subserves another's gain So runs my dream: But what am I?
 An infant crying in the night;
 An infant crying for the light And with no language but cry. The wish that of the living whole
 No life may fail beyond the grave,
 Derives it not from what we have The likest God within the soul? Are God and Nature then at strive,
 That Nature lends such evil dreams
 So careful of the type she seems, So careless of the single life; That I, considering everywhere
 Her secret meaning in her deeds.
 And finding that of fifty seeds She often brings but one to bear, I falter where I firmly trod.
 And falling with my weight of cares
 Upon the great worlds altar stairs That slope thro' darkness up to God, I stretch lame hands of faith. and grope,
 And gather dust and chaff, and call
 To what I feel is Lord of all, And faintly trust the larger hope.

STATE BANK SUPERVISION.

From the Nashville American.
 In letter recently printed in the Birmingham News, W. R. Sawyer shows that the deposits in the state and private banks in Alabama adds up the large total of $11 100000, as against S7,- 000 900 in the national banks in that state. In other words, the state permits great aggregation of deposits to go unwatched and unsupervised in state and private banks at least 10 the dan ger of thousands of confidlng deposi- tors.
 The amount of deposits in state and private banks in Tennessee probably ex- ceeds the sum in banks of like charac- ter in Alabama, yet there is practically no supervision.

POPULAR INTEREST IN
 OUT NEWSPAPER FACES
from the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star
 VERY newspaper nowadays GO prints a large number of DOT
 traits during the course of the year. The list includes not only per sons in public life, but many men and women who are being talked about for the moment The same policy is ap- parent in the illustrated weeklies and in many monthly magazines.
 The phenomenon is so common that 1t is accepted as matter of course. But after all the thing Is rather odd. It is natural enough to desire to know some thing of the personal appearance of the President, the speaker of the house or Sir Thomas Iipton, but it isn't so ap- parent why there should be such an in tense interest in the physiognomy of so many of the lesser lights. The lawn tennis champion of Texas or the lead ing polo player of the Pacific coast are not of themselves of any particular mo- ment to the rest of the population. Yet nine men out of ten who happen to pick up a manual of sport will find them- selves half unconsciously looking through it to find the portraits of nota- ble players. A person who has no mo- ton of the record in the quarter mile or the pole vault or the hammer throw will muster a decided interest in glano- ing over the portraits of the participants in the latest track meet.
 This interest in faces seems to be a universal human trait A .sort of reIa- tionship Is established by the sight of a man or of his portrait which can be brought into existence in no other way. A printed description of a person is only someone's opinion of him. It is infor-

Church Building.


 This has been a record year In church building in Birmingham" sad an archi- teet. When the town was in it's youth a larger number os houses of worship may have been erected within a year, but in no year have so many handsome churches been built as in 1903. Five new sacred edifices, two of which are about completed, will aggregate a cost of some thing like s16o.0OO. There are two church buildings in Birmingham that cost fully S5oOoo each, but in no year were five fine churches under construction at ,ha same time
 Probably the rext handsome odiiee to be erected will be a spacious temple for the congregation of Temple Emanuel. The congregations present building of worship was entirely adequate when it was erected years ago, but the worah;pcrs have multiplied and have about oul- grown ths place. The site of the tenn pie is very large and is one of the most valuable in Birmingham. The congrega- tion is out of debt and the membership represents great deal of wealth. 1t may be safely predicted that when the old temple is replaced by a new and larger one it will he an imposing pile"

British Politics.

"rhe most suggestive feature of the political crisis in England is Mir Cham berlain's avowed purpose to disassociate himself from official ties in order to be- come a free lance for protection. He pledges himself to a vigorous campaign of education in what night appear it present to be an almost hopeless cause said a student of foreign politics. Brit ish public conservatism Is proverbial and there is no more pronounced fIeld for it's influence than in this matter of the tariff The liberal party today stands distinctly opposed to protection."

From the New York Press.
 Dying rich isn't half as painful as liv- ing poor.
 The only way to fool a woman Is to let her do 1t herself.

nation at second hand But from the sight of the face or of the picture it is pssible to make ones own infernece. There are a good many things of which people are quite willing to take the &C., count of someone else. But a human personality-even an exceedingly hum- ble one-seems to be too interesting to allow of any such treatment. There is something about 1t which makes a direct appeal So. if any person Is call ed to the attention of the public wheth- CT as a prize fighter or a first baseman or as fifty years married there is at once a general desire to see what man. her of being this is.
 Political managers feel the necessity of making their candidates face famil- far to the voters. They do not depend on getting him before the electors in person, and they distribute buttons and badges bearing his portrait. Men in certain lines of business, especially in those which depend for success on the rather arbitrary patronage of a large number of persons throughout the coun- try, frequently initiate the politicians in their advertising. They will spend large sums of money in making their faces familiar to the public, evidently with the intention of establishing per- sonal relations with their possible pat rons.
 
 It Is to a fundamental instinct, then, that publications appeal in printing so many portraits. The desire to see these faces may be set down to idle curiosity. In reality it is due to the feeling of the supreme value of persons as com- pared to everything else in the world.
