The kanqaroo Walk.

'I really believe that the kangaroo walk is becoming a foible of the past" said an observant man yesterday. T don't be- lieve that this style of locomotion was ever very popular in birmingham, fact of which the citizenship is justly proud Whether the kangaroo walk was the re- suit of fashions dress regulations or was largely affected, I have been unable to determine, but 1t was certainly a most ridiculous method of getting over the ground.
 'The kangaroo walk has it's predecessor in what was sometimes known as the Broadway lope.' This monstrosity is laid at the door of the masculine sex, which should have known better. Specialists and those who guard the public health for a pecuniary consideration are fond of tell ing us the many advantages of walking, but they have no reference to stylish prancing. Most people walk awkwardly enough as 1t is, even among the graceful fair sex and 1t does not mend matters to indulge in fantastic contortions which were never intended by the Creator and are an insult to Dame Nature

Pistol Totinu in Birmingham.

Birmingham is rapidly degenerating into the most lawless town in the Southern states. It is all due to the fact that the law against carrying con- cealed weapons Is not properly en- forced Shooting affairs are of almost daily occurrence. It has gotten so that no man feels safe unless he is armed. He believes that the lawless element Of the city carry deadly weapons and the good citizen must go armed to pro- tect himself.
 The only way to prevent continu- ation of this carnival of crime in Bir- mingham is for strict instruction to be given to policemen and deputy sher- ifs to enforce the law, and if neces- sary, to examine every man found on the streets whom they have reason to suspect Is armed.
 The Age-Herald hopes that Chief Wier will give his men as specific in- structions to enforce the concealed weapon law as he gave them a few days ago in regard to the use of their own weapons. AS it is now, no mans life is safe either upon the streets or in the public places of Birmingham.

Shjp Subsidies Aoain.

Representative Grosvenor has, in &C., cordance with the procrastination plan of the administration, favorably re- ported a bill providing for a commis- sion to consider the question of ship subsidy. The proposed commission is to keep on considering the question until after the November election, when it may bring in a report. If such tactics deceive the voters, then indeed they deserve to be deceived. It is the intention of the shipbuilders to secure subsidies after the November election m the Hanna or speed basis. The ton mage basis is not needed in their busi- ness.
 The truth is, what the country needs is change in the navigation act The shipbuilders have combined to prevent American registry to any foreign built vessel. It is the shipbuilders against fhe merchants of the country. If the merchants of the country were per mitted to buy ships where they can buy them the cheapest, the tonnage under the American flag would be in creased fast enough, and our products would soon be carried in our own yes

Money for Vulcan.

About two-thirds of the sum needed to place Birmingham's big Iron Man on his pedestal at St. Louis and to lay at his feet samples of the resources and products Of this district mas been secured, and the other one-third is lacking. This should not be. About s5.o00 is still needed, and 1t should be made up without delay.
 The plaster cast from which our Vulcan will be moulded will soon De here, and the completion of the exhl' bition fund Is becoming pressing. Not an additional step can be taken until the fund is made up.
 The Age-Herald urges every man and every corporation that bas the good of this district at heart to aid in securing the balance of the exhibition money. An expenditure of $1200O to s13.O00 will advertise this district at St. Louis as it has never been adVer- tised before. It will emphasize our mineral resources and achievements. It will say to all that hero is the home of iron and coal, and all their various forms. This Is what the big Iron Man will say at St. Louis. The idea is ad- mirable. and it's execution will be artistic. always provided the money IS forthcoming to meet needful expenses.

WOULD NOT BE KING.
Brooklyn Barkeeper Refuses to Lead
 Revolt In Servia.

Special to the New Orleans Picayune
 New York-An appeal has been made to Brookly liquor dealer to head re- volt against King Peter of Servia. Emis- saries representing the friends of the murdered King Alexander and Queen Draga have been writing letters to the Brooklynite, and one messenger was sent free here from Servia to treat with him. He has absolutely refused to join in the revolt, although he says that by inheri- tance he should be the real King of Ser via.
 This man is Louis Napoleon Bonaparte Cocciaincich. Shortly ditch assassination of the King and Queen of Servia the story of his life and the family his- tory showing his descent from the Grand Shupane of Servia was published.
 It was the publication of this story that attracted the attention of the oppo- sition to King Peter to the liquor dealer. The story was translated and published in a number of Austrian and Italian papers, and although 1t was strictly barred from such papers as are pub lished in Servia, 1t did reach the oppo- nents of the present king.
 Yes, 1t Is true that I have been ap- preached by Servians opposed to King Peter said MT. Cocian, as he prefers to be called, to a reporter q have sent word that prefer to remain free Am- erican citizen. I told them that here I could go to Coney Island go swimming when l wanted to and have all the fish ing l wanted, and as King of Servia I would have none of these pleasures"

UNLUckY MAN
Has Survived the Effects of Eighty
 four Operations.

From the European edition of the New
 York Herald.
 man who has survived eighty-four surgical operations lives at Guisborough. an Old World market town in Yorkshire, at the foot of the Cleveland Hills.
 For over thirty years he has suffered from the ravages of the hungry disease known as lupus. Having reached that stage of life which, under normal condi- tions, would be mans prime, he Is still an intense sufferer.
 Yes" he said, during an interview, "I have been operated upon eighty-four times, frequently under anaesthetics. Nobody can possibly realize the amount of suffering I have endured. Still, I was always cheerful There was the bright prospect before me one day, perhaps I might be cured, but now I am not so young as I was and cannot stand so much.
 "At times the disease showed an in- provement, but it was only temporary Oc- casionally the disease became so virulent that I could hardly see out of my eyes. The acute pain and sensitive feeling con- sequent upon the disfgurement intensified the trouble. I never dreamed of com pletely breaking down, but went from hospital to hospital, and doctor to doc tor, with the firm determination to find a cure.
 'I have only referred to serious opera. tions which involved the use of the surgi- cal spoon and knife. At one institution the diseased part was cauterized every third day. with the exception of Sun days. That in itself was a very great nerve strain. Many eminent specialists have taken a keen interest in my case. At one time and another I think I must have been treated by fully 100 doctors, many of whom are now dead and gone. The expense has been endless, but people were always very kind and generous"

sells. The shipbuilding combine will not, however, permit this. They want their present monopoly clinched and promoted by bounties taken from the pockets of the merchants whom they now forbid to buy ships in the markets of the world. Anything checker than the Hanna subsidy plan has not been developed Even Dingleyism contains nothing worse.
 The Grosyenor bill Is a bill to keep alive the Hanna subsidy plan against the meeting of congress after the November election. The shipbuilders' monopoly is behind the movement, and it proposes to stay there until it gets a share of the general grab by the few at the expense of the many. The effort is but an expansion of the methods and robber principles of Dingleyism.

The Hon. T. l.. Sowell. state auditor. came up from Montgomery last night and is stopping at the Metropolitan. He is in excellent health and spirits. When approached on the subject of state poli- tics. he said:
 ''we have been too busy around the state capitol to talk much politics. The old year going out and the new coming in has kept us very busy. The condition of the states finances Is better than it has ever been. More money is being collected than at any time during Alabama's his tory.'
 Mir. Sowell is in high feather'' con- corning the prosects of the democratic victory this year.
 ''The chances for sweeping demo- cratic victory" he remarked. "are indeed bright. Senator German. in my opinion Is the most available man that the dem- ocrats could nominate"

Landscape eardenlna.

Landscape gardening has never been extensively practiced in this country, said horticulturist yesterday. T believe the great expositions that have been held from time to time are largely to be cred ited with what progress has been made In this science, as it may fitly be termed. In fact, except for such occasions, land- scape gardening on a large scale would be exceedingly rare in America from the fact that few people are anxious enough about beautifying their property to expend the large sums necessary to secure the serv- ices of talented landscape artist.
 Most of our wealthy citizens also live in large cities. where landscape gardening is entirely out of the question, while those who have country estates seldom interest themselves in the artistic possibilities of rural life. The experiences of Mir. Van derbilt at Biltmore are enough to dis courage most millionaires who have an in- clination to erect handsome country es- tates.
 Where person has the means and the inclination he can do much to beautify a country home by the exercise of his own ingenuity and thus escape the heavy fees of professional artist
 The landscape gardener Is both an artist and somewhat of a scientist. In designing the magnificent ensemble effects at Chicago or St. Louis people of the greatest skill are employed and 1t is safe to say that they are very well paid. This Is also another field where women have been equally successful with men but landscape gardening is one of the least crowded of the professions and there Is plenty of room for beginners, although contracts are not so easy to get as is the case in other lines of activity"

Police Telephone System.

'The city fathers should certainly give the police department telephone system or anything else which would make the department more effective,' said a promi- nent citizen yesterday. By giving the department telephone system the police men will be enabled to work with much more harmony and efficiency.
 After 10 o'clock at night the policemen who are outside of the fire limits have no way of communicating with the head quarters, as they are unable to use tele- phones in private residences, and there are no stores open. With a few telephones in their beats they would be able to com municate with headquarters at any time
 If there was a complaint from an out laying section the officer on that beat could be notified the first time he tele- phoned, which should not be over half an hour at the outslde'

H ASSA1C, N. J., January 21.-(Spe- V cialo-In the great Vulcan enter
 prise for the St. Louis exposition, the Commercial club of Birmingham has bullded better than it knew. The figure the unfinished Bohemian church of St. Stephens, and I expect to ship the feet. legs and lower body. the framing for an- vii, block and hammer to Birmingham within three or four days.
 The finished portion, of which the Age Herald printed a photograph several days ago, is exactly twenty eight feet from the soles of the feet to the waist line The beauty and dignity of the pose and the perfection and symmetry of the modelling, are incomparable. There is no other sculpture in the world to which it can be lilkened and there Is no risk in saying that it will be several generations before such a figure is again undertaken sn the United States.
 Until now I have not myself fully real ized the processes which are involved in the production of statue of such pom derous magnitude. As it Is sure to prove
 
 ham at this time I will describe these processes in detail.
 First of all MT. Moretti made sketch of conventional Vulcan twelve inches high in plastic clay. Then he built a life-size model of the same material, working from the living model who posed for the artist every day for a week. When this life-size model was perfected 1t was covered with a thick coating of plaster of paris which was allowed to set firm ly in every line and feature of the clay model, and to dry thoroughly. Then the plaster matrix was removed, the clay fig- ure taken out and broken up, and the plaster shell set up to be filled with soft plaster of paris, which, on completion, formed the final working model from which the artist and his assistants made their measurements, and took their de- tails for the great colossus.
 Here again the process carried out in the working model had to be repeated, and greatly elaborated. A structure call ed the armature," had to be built up on the general lines of the figure of lum- Der and lath. The lathed surfaces were then heavily coated with glue, and the plastic clay was laid on like the flesh on a mans bones. The first part of this frame work, reaching from the soles of the feet to the waist line, was attacked by the sculptor as fast as his assistants could lay on the clay, and within a few deys he whipped the whole thing into the semblance of a man. For weeks he piled his chsels in perfecting the mold Ing of this great form. the like of which was never attempted before for any fig ure to be cast in metal. Moretti insisted on doing all the modelling himself. His heart and soul are in the work. and the creation which he has achieved will doubtless make his fame more lasting than the almost imperishable statue It. self.
 When he had the figure modelled in the plastic clay, and finally decided that it was good. his work was but half done. The plastic clay does not make fixed pattern that can be used in the foundry.
