In spite of the fact that an enterprise ing visitor now and then summons enough courage to grapple with a "spook' at a spiritual seance and finds that he has the professor" in his hands, deluded in- dividuals continue to patronize such frauds. The wonder is that right-think- ing persons can put any stock in such trumpery. What if the spirits do come back from another world? They never can tell what kind of<a time they are having and that is all people in this world want to know. But spiritualism seems to have hold on certain class of people who quake as much over the bogus ghost as they would over the real article.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
On Shaking Hands.


 Have you ever thought that most peo- pie shake hands by intuition7's asked the observant man. People shake hands just like ball player catches a. ball. He can not watch his hands and the ball at the same time, and likewise few people look where they are extending their hands when they are introduced to strangers. For instance. a gentleman is introduced to you. Unless you happen to be an ex- eeption to the rule, you will look him straight in the eye and stretch out your hand. The other man will do the same thing. but somehow both hands will get together
 When one comes to think of 1t, it is remarkable how easily people get through the operation without having to grope, es- pecially in the dark However, 1t is pos sible for very awkward man to miss the handclasp of another person alto gether, but his blunder should be imputed to awkwardness more than to any defect in our present method of shaking hands"
 Old-Fashioned Singing.
 We are going 10 have some old-fash- toned Sacred Harp singing next Sunday at the Tuxedo Baptist church.. said vet eran of many winters, who resides at Ensley. The concert will begin at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and a choir will come down from Avondale to render as- slstance. We expect large crowd of peo- pie to attend, especially old people There will also be an all-day singing at Avondale the second Sunday in July.
 Somehow young people do not appre- ciate the old-time church music that ex- halted their fathers and mothers forty years ago. Perhaps one reason for this is the fact that so few of them have ever heard the Sacred Harp songs that are so well known to older people.
 Ut seems to me that there is too much form about the church music of today. The songs do not appeal to me as the old hymns do, and there is something suited about it all. People go to church and listen to the music in a perfunetory way, but in snte-bellum days the hymns stirred the congregations almost to frenzy at times. One of those hymns formerly had more power over a congregation than the greatest exhorters of today At least the effect was more immediate and more evil dent then than now, when repression is the keynote of existence

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

M R. a.a.Iz CHARLES LES. HHnAD R u WI who svi
 A York Herald, in so far as pro- claiming the vices of Gotham are con- cerned, has announced that the soda fount possesses unlimited possibilities for vice and warns young people to look out for the eleven foot in all resorts where the soda fount is to be found. While sane people agree that the lollypop estab- lishment is on the face of 1t a rather innervating affair 1t is not generally ab- horred for it's Haunting wickedness. The Rev. Dr. Herald is not so much impress ed by the vice of imbibing lemon phos- phates as he Is by the money wasted on such refreshments and the evil effects that are sure to follow the practice Of dumping cold drinks into the system without moderation. Also he calls atten- ton to the fact that intoxicating liquors and drugs are often dispensed at soda manity in general and especially that part of humanity compsed of summer girls and tailored Apollos. But the doc- tor overloolSs one great advantage of the lollypop resort that should help to re- deem 1t in the eyes of the public. Since it contains such deadly possibilities there is faint hope that a few of the gilded Lotharios who affect sucn establishments may eventually be poisoned.
 The editor of the Hartford Journal, one of Alabamas brightest weeklies, has set an Illuminating example before his colleagues in the state that should be fol- lowed without delay. The Journal, through It's editorial we" offers a year g subscription to every newly married cou- pie in the county. All that is necessary is to send in the name of bride and groom and the minister who is responsible for the affair. With such a prize to be won there is no reason why all the young peo- pie in the country round about should not get married at once. By placing a pre- mium on matrimony the editor of the Hartford Journal shows that he is no advocate of race suicide and is entitled to an autograph postcard from Theodore Roosevelt.

WIFE EXONERATES
HUSBANDS SLAYER
TELLS THE STORY OF THE IA.
TAI ENCOUNTER.
Man Was Abusing and Beating His
Baby When Neighbor In
terfered.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 28.-The wife
of John Clark of Plains, who was muir
dered yesterday afternoon by William
Elliott practically absolved him this
afternoon, when she told the story of
the fatal struggle at the hearing.
She said that her husband had been
abusing the children and herself all
day, and that two constables were on
the way to the house to arrest him
when Elliott, attracted by the screams
of baby, which Clark was beating,
rushed into the room.
He begged Clark to put the child
down, and to leave the house and be-
have himself. and this further incensed
the angry man, who tore off his coat
and rushed at Elliott. Before Mrs.
Clark knew what had happened her
husband was dead at her feet. his
jugular vein severed where Elliott had
plunged in his knife. Elliot says
that Clark seized knife and that he
stabbed him in self defense. An eff
fort will be made to effect his release
on bail tomorrow.

NAN PATTERSON MAY NEVER
AGAIN Be PLACED ON TRIAL
Caesar" Young's Partner Goes West For Several
Months, and Prosecution Cannot Proceed
Without Him. Smith Wanted.
BAIL UP TO S5O,OOO SAID TO Be READY

New York, Dec. 2S.-From state
ments made at the district attorneys
Office today there is every reason to
believe that Nan Patterson will not
face the ordeal of another trial for the
murder of Caesar" Young, for several
months, at least, If ever.
That there can be no trial for sew
eral months was learned when John
d. Millen, the former racing partner of
Young, and one of the witnesses for
the prosecution obtained permission
from Mr.. Rand to return to his stock
farm in Sacramento Cal. Mr.. Millen
said he would be detained west on
business for at least three months and
attaches of Mr.. Rands office declare
it. is impossible for the case to- pro-
ceed without him.
Lawyer Abraham Levy, chief coun-
sci fer the accused. had conference
with Mr. Rand today after which he
said he had been assured there was no
prospect of trial in the near future.
Mr.. Levy expects Mr.. Jerome viii
enter into an immediate arrangement
to release Miss Patterson, either un-
der bail or upon her own recognizance.
The district attorney has made this
attitude known to the girls attorney
through Mr.. Rand.

7 PLEA
For the Better Enforce
m8nt of the Will
Of the People.
AN IMPORTANT TOPIC

Chicago, Dec 28.--An eloquent plea
for the better execution of the state
will or the enforcement of the law
was made today by Professor Frank
j. Goodnow, president of the American
Political Scisnce association before
the-joint meeting of the American His
torical, the American Economic and
the American Political Science asso-
Citations at the University of Chicago.
The occasion was the first joint meet
ing of these three associations in
Chicago. "The execution Of state
will or the enforcement of law" said
Prof. Goodnow "is one which seems to
me has never been accorded the i'm
portance IL deserves"
lie cited the condition of England
just before the adoption of the poor
law amendment act to show how the
lack of administrative capacity had
brought social conditions in England
that were, as he termed it, deplorable.
when we begin the study of prob
lsms connected with municipal admin
istration," he said, conditions are
even worse than those which have
been described as having affected Eng
land"
More than 800 prominent political
economists and political scientist edu.
Gators were present when President
Harper arose to deliver the address
Of welcome.
Besides President Goodnow an ad.
dress was delivered by President VIM
Sloan of Columbia university and 9th.

UNKNOWN STEAMER

COMES ASHORE.

Norfolk Va, Dec. 2S.-The ider ty
of the big steamer that is on ,le
sands at the outer edge of the Dia-
mond shoals has not been established
but it is believed that she is a freight
er from New York or Baltimore.
Judging from her size her crew was
hardly less than so men and so far as
as is known they are still ON board Of
her.
The vessel. which has three masts
and one funnel, struck on the outer
end of Diamond shoals at dawn We'd

nails Of Distress
The life savers gathered on the
beach and through their glasses could
make out the steamer but failed to
get her name. They could do nothing,
however. to save her, as none of their
boats would float minute in the vio-
lent seas.
They scnt up reassuring signals,
but they were not answered. Through
out the day the life-savers watched
and waited hoping for the storm to
abate. Just before dark tonight the
vessel sank by the stern and smoke
that had been curling from her fun
nels ceased, indicating that the water
had got below and eXtinguished her
fires. Tonight some wreckage is be-
ing washed ashore, but the exact fate
of the steamer must remain a mystery
until tomorrow although the life
savers fear she has gone down.
