ted a Burglary.
 'Ise sho glad Ise been to jail" was the remarkable statement made by Jesse Washington, a diminutive negro before United States Commissioner John A. Elmore yesterday.
 Washington was arrested by United States marshals on charge of being implicated in the stealing of brasses from the cellar of the government building
 There are two negro boys in the Montgomery County jail now awaiting trial on the same charge. Their cases will be heard at the next term of the United States Court.
 The marshal strongly suspected that @ gang of negro sneak thieves of which Washington is alleged to be a member were implicated in theft. Washing ton was seen on the street and ar- rested.
 When arraigned before the United States Commissioner. Jesse Washington wore a smile of confidence. He knew that conviction was not for him.
 He summoned county authorities as witnesses in his behalf. It was proved by the records of the county jail that Jesse Washington at the time of the alleged burglary was firmly incarce- rated behind the bars of the Mont gomery County jail The alibi was undoubtable and the little negro was released

APPLAUD THE SHERIFF
BLACKWELL COMMENDED FOR
 PURSUIT OF LYNCHERs.
Good People of the State Approve His Course Tn Endeavoring to Appre-
 hend the Murderers of the Negro, Edward Bell.
Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma, August 27


 That the people throughout Ala bama approve the course adopted by Sheriff F. M Blackwell in prosecuting the mob which lynched the negro Ed ward Bell is evidenced by the number of letters received by Sheriff Black we'll from prominent citizens of the State. congratulating him on his ef- forts to run down the guilty parties
 The best people of Dallas County are high in their praise of Sheriff Blackwell and are lending him every assistance to capture the guilty parties in this crime and there is a growing feeling that the guilty par ties regardless of who they are, will be convicted when court convenes Sep tember IT.
 Another arrest was made on the Southside this morning in connection with the Bell lynching. The negro arrested this morning gave his name as Lloyd Hatcher. He was implica- ted by Eugene Roberts in his confess sion as having taking a leading part in the hanging of the negro Bell. A number of deputies make daily trips to Sardis in search of a number of white and colored men alleged to have been implicated in the affair. Those who took part in the lynching are successfully eluding the officers but Sheriff Blackwell has declared <is determination to keep right on theis | tracks until he has all the guilty parties behins the bars.

CAPITOL COMMISSION
CALLED MEETING WAS HELD AT
 NOON YESTERDAY.
Attorney General Massey Wilson Re- ported Progress in the COndein- nation PrOceedlngs-Other
 Matters Discussed.

A called meeting of the State Capi- tol Building Commission was held ycs- | terday at noon in the office of Cover nor Cunningham to hear a report from Attorney General Massey Wilson as to | the progress of the condemnation pro- | Iceedings which are to be instituted against the owners of the property on the south half of the Capitol Square. The Attorney General reported that he was making progress with the exami- nation of the titles, the investigations of the abstracts and of outstanding claims against some parcels of the property.
 | The meeting was called by Governor Cunningham, who Is President of the ! Commission. The Commission Is com posed of the Governor, Auditor Thomas l.. Sowell, Treasurer J. Craig Smith, Attorney General Massey Wilson, Sec retary of State E. R. McDavid and Di- rector Thomas NJ. Owen, who Is the Secretary of the Commission. All mem- bers of the Commission were present with the exception of Treasurer Smith. l After the Attorney General had sub mitted his report upon the work he had done there was an informal dis cussion of the task before the Commis- sion. The Commission Is pledged to the policy of purchasing the southern portion of the Capital Square, which Is at present owned by private parties. Before the erection of the additions to the Capital condemnation proceedings will be instituted in the Probate Court of Montgomery County. From this court the proceedings will probably be carried to the Supreme Court of Ala bama. If the Probate Court proceed ings are finished at an early date a spe- cial term of the Supreme Court will probably be called to consider the pro- lceedings.
 | At yesterdays meeting of the Com mission Secretary Owen was instructed to tabulate the needs of the Capitol as 1t had been presented to the Commis- sion by the various State authorities. | The Attorney General reported that he had received some, offers to sell par cells of the property, but the Commis- sion decided to allow the court to fix the price of all the property. The Commission adjourned subject to call by the President.

Che Engaseing American Girl.

Letter in the London Mall.
 I have lately returned from a twelve months residence in America visit ed New York; Boston. Philadelphia, Chi cago. and many other cities of the United States. have had the pleas ure of meeting some of the most charm ing women in these cities it has ever been my good fortune to be introduced to- I have found the American girl'' better travelled, more ingenious, far less estrained-certainly not vulgar than her English sister.
 l am not speaking against my own countrywomen, but let us be just. Surely we have In this country many, many undesirable persons of the te- male sex who dress vulgraly, talk loudly. and are altogether what a ia dy should not be. This class of per son Is to be met In every country.
 But, sir I affirm that the average educated American girl Is a most en .. gazing and delightful quantity.

Rnilrnah Men Coming.

Hons. Hoke Smith and A. B. Steele, the Atlanta men who are looking toward the building of a railroad from Atlanta to Pensacola, will be in this city Monday and in the evening will have a conference regarding the plans of the company and to receive report from men in this city who have in- terested themselves in the bringing of the road into Pensacola. The con- ference Is expected to clear away all obstacles in the matter of a passage to the bay.
 The citizens who entered an objec- ton to the railroad passing through the broadest thoroughfare in the city submitted a plan in lieu of the first. which Is regarded as even more accep- table than the first one. This enables the railroad company to construct a passenger depot on a site from which three approaches are possible. and which will be placed on ground to be deeded free and about which there can be no dispute as to title. This pro- posed site Is city property and may be deeded as the Council desires.
 News from the other projected line to Pensacola Is of an encouraging nature. The projectors, while not in the city at present, are known to have been in active and continuous correspondence with their local agents regarding their franchise rights, and this correspond ence has of late taken on the appear ance of business. Prominent local men, those who believe the road will eventually be built, have interested themselves In the project, and are giv- ing lot of their time to the details It will reach the Council probably at the next meeting in a thorough busi- ness form if all reports are true.
 It is stated on good authority that there Is nothing whatever to impede the beginning of the road from Allan ta to Pensacola, which is excellent news.

AFTER THIRTY-NINE YEARS.
It Takes Nearly $15O,OOO,OOO a year tC Pay them for Saving the Union.

It Takes Nearly $l5O.OOO,OOO a year to
 Pay them for Saving the Union. Philadelphia Ledger.
 Commander in Chief John c. Black, of the Grand Army of the Republic, stated in his annual address to the vet erans at Boston, on the 17th inst, that the names of 47,373 new pensioners were placed on the roll during this year and 49.l56 were taken off 1t. The cost of maintaining the pension sys- tenn for the present year, he said, was $144, ,942,937; in 1903 the cost was $141,- 752.S70. From which it appears that in the thirty ninth year after the last gun was fired In the civil war nearly 50.000 participants in 1t were added to the pension roll, and notwithstanding there were two thousand pensioners less in 1904 than In 1903 the cost of the system increased $3,00O, ,0e0. These are astonishing figures, and show that the further the war period recedes the greater grows the expenditures for pensions. Where have the 47.373 new pensioners of 1904 been of what have they been doing for nigh upon forty years that at this remote day they find their names added to the pension roll?
 Another interesting part of Com mander In Chief Blacks address was his appeal to his comrades of the Grand Army 10 unlIe III dl SllOAl tO "Congress to pass a law which will embody the provisions of the pension commissioners executive order fixing the grades of old-age disability pen sions. It vii be remembered that In March last the commissioner issued an order to the effect that all veterans who have passed the age of 62 years should be considered by the department disabled to labor to the extent of 50 per cent and hence entieled to pensions rating from $6 to SIP a month It has been contended, and by friends of the old soldiers, that the commissioner had no authorization in law to make this order. Apparently that view of the matter Is taken by the commander in chief of the veterans. who desires that Congress shall give validity and force to the order.
 Congress clearly has the authority to do that, but just as clearly the com missioner of pensions had no authority. by virtue of his office or otherwise, to add enormously to the pension account by a mere order. It is his business to execute laws not to make them. By doing the latter, which he had no right to do. he usurped a prerogative of Congress, and the Grand Army is quite right to regard as an abuse of his au- thority his order to which an Act of Congress can alone give validity

Some Society stunts.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Formal verbal announcements or en- pagements and luncheons given for that rrIrnose are no longer in style. One hostess recently concealed the an- nouncement of her daughters engage ment in a small cluster of flowers put at each guests place at the table. A few days ago another happy mother did the trick even more delicately. The guests waited expectantly all through the luncheon, but not until they had finished the sheEbet were they ap- prised of the engagement. Then, in small gold letters on the bottoms of the glasses in which the sherbet was served. they saw the names of the bride and bride-groom-to-be linked to- gether by the loops of a tEue-loveEs> knot
