SERMON OF DR. CARR
COMMENCEMENT OF UNIVERSITY
 OF ALABAMA NOW ON.
Pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Mobile, Before Large and Cultured Audience, Speaks
 of,"The Immortal

Life.
 University, May S0.--(Special )-The Seventy Commencement of the University of Alabama is now on, and many visitors are present.
 The commencement sermon was preached yesterday in Clark Hall be- fore a large and cultured audience by the Rev. Archibald Fairly Carr, pastor of the %lrst Presbyterian Church of Mobile. Ala. He took for his general theme The Immortal Life" passing his remarks on the 14th verse of the 5th chapter of 2nd Corinthians.
 The speaker declared that there WIS an impression that modern theorists gave new interpretation of immor- kality. but that 1t was really ques- ton of evolution. Evolution Is a the- ory that has facts to support it, but lacks proof. Man is as he is irrespec- tive of how he came to be. Immortal zfy is difficult for us to conceive on &C., count of our kinship to the lower anil nals. Another difficulty Is the de- pendence of life on bodily existence, and the association of will with phys teal parts
 Analogy points to the death of the soul with the body, because as the body declines, so does mental life. An other difficulty in conceiving of im- mortality is the picturing of the hu- man spirit apart from the body. But God himself is a spirit, yet we most often conceive of him as having bodily existence.
 It is good to believe in the future. We naturally and justly associate that which does us good with that which is true Take away the belief in a fu-' ture existence and there would be a failing off in morality. In the second place. the belief in a future existence is universal. Those who disbelieve 1t are sporadic and spasmodic in nature. We ask the waves If they beat some immortal shore. the winds if they have kissed the cheeks of the departed. the snow If if has come from some heaven capped peak, aud the stars if they are the abode of the departed. The belief, Therefore. cannot be the result of cir cufnstances. but must be inherent in mans nature In the third place. man is fit for immortality; he can appre- ciatc all the emotions. Further, we all desire a life after death. Can we be- lieye that God would be so unkind as

VALLEY FORGE.
Improvements in District Around old Camp.

Improvements in District Around old
 The Valley Forge Park commission will begin its work of improvement soon, says a Westchester, Pa, dispatch to The New York Herald. It is ex- pected that greater progress will be made this season than last, and that before next winter the park will be one of the most beautiful places in the State.
 The contract for the continuation of the road along the entrenchments, part of which was constructed last year, has been awarded. The new road will begin at a point on the old Schuylkill road, near Fort Huntington. and follows the line of entrenchments to Fort Washington, a distance of nearly two miles. Many paths have been built from the road to the re- doubts and other places of interest, with markers in conspicuous places for the information of visitors. A fence of cedar posts and iron pipe railing has been built along the new road
 Fort Huntington, built more than l25 years ago and occupied by Wash ington and his troops from early in December, 1777, until June l9, ITS. stands out in bold relief, in full view from the old Schuylkill road, and is still in good state of preservation. Near the base of the slope of the fort is a lonely grave, with a rough stone marker inscribed: "A Revolutionary Soldier Shot by a Farmer While MIX ing his Cow"
 A few hundred yards from the grave and along the old Schuykill road is handsome monument erected by the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution as a memorial to Captain John Water man, of Rhode Island. who achieved fame under Washington.
 The most interesting place in the entire park is Washington's headquar- ters, built in 1779 by Isaac w. Potts. and occupied for General and Mrs Washington while the army was en- camped at Valley Forge. The building is now owned Is the Sons and Daugh- ters of the Revolution and the Patri-

 Dr. R.

He will preside at the annual meeting of the board of trustees. In reference to the talk about an extra session of the legis- lature on account of the failure of the last Legislature to fix the terms of probate judge. circuit court clerks, cir cult court judges and others to har- monize with the new laws. he said:
 Yes, the question has been brought to my attention but I authorize you to say that I do not contemplate calling the legislature together in extra ses- sion. At present I see nothing to justify such a call Contingencies may arise that would make an extra session necessary. The affairs of the State would undoubtedly be improved by the amendment of some legislation For instance cities are without power to amend their charters.
 As to the tenure of office of probate judges, while I have given the matter some consideration. as I regard 1t as one that the courts should settle. It can be brought before the courts in several ways, that is the matter of the beginning of the terms of officers to be elected next fall about which there has been some controversy"
