lan's book on "Ihe Oligarchy of Ven- ice." That a Democratic Mayor of New York should have written a book on such a subject is in itself a noteworthy piece of news and one which throws a strong ray of light across the murky atmosphere of metropolitan politics. es., .-
 No romance is more fascinating than the life of the Discoverer of the New World. In this new. work, Mir. Thacher has faithfully presented the Columbus story with all its interesting features. The figure of Columbus Is clearly drawn, the scenes of his life are carefully filled in. the nature of his achievements and their results are told with new interest Every question relating to him is taken up in turn, valuable and rare documents are here for the first time reproduced in fac-simile, with accurate translations, and the whole book, while filled with sound information for the scholar and student, will be found no less attractive to the popular reader. -.-,.

OFFICIALS OF L. & N.
BEvERAL CHANGES ARE SOON TO
 BE MADE.
Q. B. Compton Slated to Succeed Wal ker Hines as vice-President and
 Other men to Be Promoted.

The following from The Louisville Courier-Journal will be of interest to railroad men of this section of Ala bama: EE
 "It is reported that with the coming of the new year there will be a gen. eral shifting of positions among the oficials of the L. and N. Railroad AL though no of1cial announcements have been made, and they are not expected before the last few days of the present month, the changes contemplated, be- ginning with the advancement of Traf- hc Manager c. B. Compton to the vice. presidency made vacant by the recent resignation of Walker B. Hines, have been insistently talked of. The vice presidency thus left v>cant has since been filled by W. A. Mapother. who was formerly chief clerk to President Milton H. Smith. and 1t was understood at the time that the appointment was temporary.
 "As a successor to MT. Compton as Trafic Manager, D. M. Goodwin. now General Freight Agent, is rtamed. MT. Goodwyn's service with the company has fitted him for the duties or the higher office, and 1t is believed by rali- road men that the report connecting his name with the place in question , has some foundation in fact.
 MT. Compton was reported to be out of town last night, and at the of- fees of the L. and N. MT. Goodwin could not be seen. It was said that he might return tomorrow. Owing to these conditions the reports could be neither denied nor affirmed.
 'The same insistent rumor which in dicated the changes in the official ru- nor which indicated the changes in the official positions of MT. Compton and Mir. Goodwin, also affected Mir. Good wyn's two assistants, c. Brent and C.. D. Boyd, who act as Assistant General Freight Agents. MT. Brent Is named as the successor to his present chief as head of the Freight Department, while the promotion reported for MT. Boyd would take him from Louisville to Knoxville, Tenn.
 The new branch line of the l.. and N. from Knoxville to Jellico. which Is expected to be completed within the next few months. will more than ever necessitate the presence in, Knoxville of a representative of the Freight De- partment, and as it Is understood that there will be a vacancy there, this place Is said to be intended for MT. Boyd. It is not known just what title the position will carry with 1t, and in- quiry at the home of Mir. Boyd last night failed of material results as to any additional details. It Is said, how ever, that MT. Boyd will undoubtedly be rendered the position. and that he will leave for Knoxville as soon as certain details have been perfected.
 But one man Is mentioned for the two offices of Assistant General Freight Agent, Edwin H. Dulaney. now Chief Clerk to the Traffic Manager, c. B. Compton. When sseen last night Mir Dulaney denied absolutely any knowl- edge of the reported changes, and said that he had no intimation of any change to be made in his position. ',

Director Owen Invited to Address American Historical Association On Our Plan Against That of
 Wisconsin.

Dr. Thomas M owen. Director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History, having accept ,d the invi.a- tion of the American Historical Asso- citation, will have the honor to address the annual meeting of that organiza- ton in Chicago December cs-3o Dr. powen will leave Montgomery m a few days to attend the meeting.
 At this meeting of the American Historical Association, what is known as the wisconsin" plan of preserving archives and history records in the state will set out in prominent and ex- haustive debate against the Alabama" plan. With the complete exposition of the Alabama plan in Chicago, Or. Owen has been charged by an assig- ment which comes under the subject, Forms of Organization and Rs'ation5 to State Governments"
 Ever since the Alabama Department has demonstrated its success the at- tention of prominent historians and legislators all over the United States has been attracted to 1t. The Alabama" plan 'is certainly original as nc ether State in the union has a department of archieves except Mississippi. and the legislature of that state asquiescing to a strong campaign in 1901, practically copied the act of the Alabama legisla- ture in the establishment of such de- partment
 Much depends upon the action. if any which the American Historical Asso- citation will take after hearing the con- test of the wisconsin" and Alabama plans. In support of the Wisconsin" idea the most conspicious historians of that state will be arrayed. The plan Is called wisconsin" because the organi- zation of the State Society Is more nearly perfected in that state than any other and was first in order.
 pr. Owen had an opportunity to pre- sent the Alabama plan" to the Ameri- can Association at its last meeting Ia New Orleans. which he did, but there were no partisans of the Society plan present who evidenced a desire to pit Fit against the success of the Depart mont of this state. Tn the Society or wisconsin" plan. of course, the organi- zation is usually sanctioned by the leg islature and exists by appropriation.
 Dr. Owen has also accepted an invi- tation to attend meeting of the Tennessee Historical Society in Nash vile January 10-11. inclusive. when campaign will be formally launched Tor a Tennessee Department of Archives and History modelled after the Alabama 1He JenHeSsCC lcElSid- ture meets at that time and i5 is md r. stood there are gooc chances of get ting the measure through with the pro- posed appropriation of a bcil liiig If magnificent proportions.
 Gen. Frederick L. Robertson, of Tal- lahassee. Fla. has written Dr. Owen that a campaign is making in Florida for a copy of the Alabama Department.
 It Is believed that after the success

Fined Heavily for Selling Cheap Jew

Fined Heavily for Selling Cheap Jew
 e1ry.
 E. C. Cross. a white man of many aliases, was fined s25 and costs in the Recorders Court yesterday afternoon for violating the city revenue law.
 Cross was arrested Sunday morning by Patrolman Bailey for selling jew elry without license He has several times before come into the hands of the Montgomery police on various charges. Two years ago when he came here with one of the street fair organizations. he got into trouble with the city govern ment. He was then travelling under the name of Hutto and worked with a woman who posed as snake charmer. The change of name. however. did not fool the police, and they nabbed him when they caught him selling gold plated necklaces and rings.
 The man had brought lot of tawdry jewelry from a local and 10 cent store and was selling 1t to ignorant persons at high figures.
 In default of his fine he will work on the city streets for while.
