REsUcE HOME NEEDED.
Judge Feaeln Tells of Wayward Girls
 In Birmingham.

Iudse Feagfn has a letter from Mrs c c Harvey. president of the Memorial Home for Young Women In New Or leans. stating that he could send way ward girls there provided they would come of their own free will and promise to ohev the matron and the rules of the institution
 A letter was written, asking if one of the girls arrested in the recent raids could be admitted to this home. Mrs Harvey asks some of the history of the girl. and agrees to take her provided the conditions are satisfactory. If this can he accomplished in this case 1t gives Judge Feagin another place where he can send wayward girls. and will be of great benefit in his probation plan. Yesterday afternoon he said
 Why is 1t that Birmingham cannot have a rescue home of this kind? Mem phis. New Orleans and other cities have them.
 "The raids being made by the police in the past two weeks show terrible state of demoralzation. The social evil has become so bold that houses have been rented in some of the best residence DOT tlons of the city to be used for immoral purposes, and women who frequent them are thrown In daily touch with many o1 the good people of the city.
 "Women have been arrested in these places and brought before me, and if theii names were published 1t would shock the moral sense of the city. They beg that their names not be given to the press SC they can protect the good names of tho other members of the families.
 "The less these evils are restricted by legislation the bolder they become and the more corrupting to the cities ir which they exist. Chief of Police Wiei has taken a bold and decided stand 1T roofing out the moral ulcers which are preying on the very vitals of the city We need a house of refuge for these girls, rescued from the dens, in whicf they could be trained to be nurses, dress makers and other helpful vacations whereby they could make an honest and competent living. where they could bt taught trades which would give then remunerative wages. This would give z different status to our social life These young girls could become strong mora factors and upllft the moral tone of the community instead of being vicious crea' lures to pull it down"

NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME.

By Holmes. There's no time like the old time,
 When you and I were young, When the buds of April blossomed
 And the birds of springtime sung; The gardens brightest glories
 By summer suns are nursed; But oh the sweet, sweet violets,
 The flowers that opened firstl There's no place like the old place.
 Where you and I were born, Where we lifted first our eyelids
 On the splendors of the morn, From the milk-white breast that warmed
 us,
 From the clinging arms that bore, Where the dear eyes glistened OCT US,
 That will look on us no more. There's no friend like the old friend,
 Who has shared our morning days; No greeting like his welcome,
 No homage like bis praise! Fame is the scentless sunflower,
 With gaudy crown of gold; But Friendship is the breathing rose,
 With sweets in every fold. There's no love like the old love,
 That we counted in our pride; Though our leaves are falling, faflns And we're fading side by side There are blossoms all around us,
 With the colors of our dawn, And we live in borrowed sunshine
 When the light of day Is gone! There are no times like the'old times. They shall never be forgot! There Is no place like the old place; {. Keep green the dear old spot' There are no friends like the old friends, May heaven prolong their lives; There are no loves like our old loveo-
 God bless our loving uivAA

 The prohibitionists of Virginia sprung a good joke on General Miles when they re- fused to endorse him as their candidate for the presidency, because they did not know whether he was a prohibitionist or not. If all the prohibitionists are go- ing to take that stand the general has a difficult situation to face Of course 1t may be easy for man 10 drink in private and talk prohibition in public, but 1t really seems that the virginians ought to have more confidence in General Miles than to question his sincerity in such manner.
 Tov. fc oh rfo rf,1cr lot ters regarding the many amiable quail ties of Bandit Raisuli that the country very naturally wonders why he Is so anx- ious to leave. Indeed, he seems to be most pleasantly located, and it is con- soling to know that he is having such good time while Uncle Sam is trying to work his rabbits foot on the sultan of Morocco, who. by the way, is a most obligng gentleman, when he sees few big guns pointed in his direction. Per haps the only failing of MT. Raisuli is his grasping nature. He wants too much. but of course he could hardly be blamed for that, since there are so many peo- pie right here at home who are suffering from the same complaint.

 Dr. S. Weir Mitchell has just demon- strated that he can heal distinguished patients as well as write clever books. The doctor is reported to have saved the life of Marshall Field, Jr, of Chicago by his skill. when the young man was in a very serious condition. MT. Field came to Philadelphia suffering from a nervous breakdown and after being treated by Dr. Mitchell is believed to be out Of danger As the patient is heir to some S1O00OO 900 Dr. Mitchelrs fee will hardly be small one. It is very delightful no doubt, to be able to make money in liter ature and in science at the same time.

Driver Was Small.

q witnessed a rather amusing incident the other day" said a professional man. q was walking down Nineteenth street when a horse came flying along with another animal hitched to one shaft and apparently drawing an empty buggy. It looked very much like a runaway and there was some excitement on the street. A burly negro who was standing on the curb rushed out and began to wave his arms in an effort to stop the horse As the animal slackened his speed dimin- utive little darky who was holding the reins peered over his back to see what was the troubie. He was so small that he was invisible from in front and the would-be hero retired to the sidewalk very much crestfallen."

A Gumpy Fan.

"At a critical stage of the ball game the other day I noticed an elderly gentle man who was seated on the bleachers and seemed to be taking a lively interest in the proceedings. Birmingham tied the score Pandemonium broke out among the fans and for minute or two it was impossible to hear anything in the babble of noises The elderly man began to fidgit in his seat. I noticed that he did not cry out nor engage in any of those other insane antics which distinguish baseball fans in action Suddenly he wheeled around and said. You people stop that bowling. It hurts my head
 "well, you can imagine what they did for him then. If his head was hurting at first it must have pained him much worse before the jeering subsided."

EA LTHOUGH the Daughters of the W confederacy have illustrated their admirable qualities on many occasions it is hard to understand why they persist in their efforts to have the words of immortal Dixie" changed to something more modern and more ele- gant. Their reasons for this step are at best superficial and perhaps trifle snob- Dish. They say that the words of Dix ie' are too homely, too jingling and too undignifed for the grandeur of the Con federacy. Such ideas would do very we'll if the Daughters were contemplating writ ing new song, for no one danies that the theme should be treated in the loft fest manner possible but there is really no excuse for raising such a rumpus over the quaint words of Dixie" that have become historic. What matters 1t if there Is nothing dignified or lofty about the song? It has served it's purpose, has stirred thu southland for forty years and to change 1t now is extremely bad taste. to say the least Besides it Is the air more than the words of the song that we love, although 1t would be a cruel blow to substitute a new song for one that Is so indelibly engraved on the memories of the old soldiers. They would never for set the old words and would never learn the new. The most important eonsidera- ton at ali is that there is certainly no one among the Daughters of the Con federacy who could write fitting sub stitute for Dixie" Real poets are ex. ceedingly scarce these days.

Will Reject Mediation.

London, Aug. est Is stated posi-
lively, in connection with the revival
OF the rumors of mediation. that EN-
peror Nicholas only recently an
nJunced in the most positive terms
that he would not permit peace negoti-
ations even should Port Arthur fall
and General Kuropatkin be driven
back to Harbin.
This fact. well understood in official
circles. has prevented the British gov
ernment from taking any steps In the
direction of mediation. 1t Is known
here that Germany understands this
attitude of the Emperor as well as
Great Britain and other powers. There
fore the reports. from Paris that EN-
peror William is prepared to suggest
peace is dismissed as groundless, for
the present at least.
II General Kuropatkin, however,
should win decisive victory at Lao
Yang, which in a measure would re-
store Russian prestige. it is believed
hers that the restoration of peace
would be materially facilitated.
