The love of chill dren was the one absorbing passion of her life. and her highest hope was that she might live to establish home for the care of oonvalescent children. With this in her mind and heart she left the whole of her not inconsidera- ble fortune. Through decisions of the courts the will was broken, the estate hopelessly entangled in litigations, and less than $1.00O was finally turned over to the trustees of the estate.
 The trustees have given this for the erection of the present Day Nursery. believing that in this way they could best fulfill the terms of their trust.
 This is the history of the new build ing that Is to be set apart this after noon to the memory of a faithful, pure and loving woman. The Day Nursery will be open tomorrow morning to re- ceive children.

Moreover, when 1t was erected six years ago. 1t was the only building put up in Alabama exclusively for the purpose of library. There is a com modious town hall, in which public meetings are held, addresses are made, and in which the best lecturers and en : tertainers of the Southern Lyceum courses are heard.

Alabama City. Nov. 5.-(Stan core . spondence. )-Alabama City is perhaps the most remarkable town in the State.
 Its public square is broad and gen. erous and the cherted pavement glis- tens bright in the sunlight. The only marks across 1t are the black rails of the Alabama City. Gadsden and Attalla Electric Railway line. The streets that radiate from the square are broad and firm. paved as they are. with clink- CTS and coal ashes.

near the end of the session just closed provided for
the payment Of $l00O0000 to Panama, and placed
the canal zone under the control of the president
No provision was made, however, regarding bonds
for construction.
Thus, more than so years after the project adj
vanced to the stage of negotiating treaty with Great
Britain in the hope of securing by united effort the
construction of the isthmian canal the United States
finds itself in exclusive possession and control of
great work undertaken in the meantime by French
company, and will shortly begin the active work of
construction, says the Tacoma Ledger. 1t is not
necessary to wait for any further legislation on the
subject, as everything, even to the authorization of
"a bond issue, has been provided for 1t is worthy
of remark that the project which has been under
discussion for so many decades was first taken up
energetically and pushed into the domain of action
under the guidance of President Roosevelt . The
canal viii always be monument to his energy and
initiative. The commercial world viii probably be
using the canal within decade.

A CoNsIDERATE GOVERNOR.

Governor Cummins of Iowa has no notion of per-
mitting the slatemakers to nfict him on his party
as the candidate for president ON the ticket with
Theodore Roosevelt.
"What preposterous ideal he said when ques-
toned on the subject at Chicago. ~ wouldn't ac-
Icept the place. Yes, | understand western man is
wanted for the place on the ticket They have men
toned Webster, of Nebraska, and myself But even
if wanted this place. should give way to Joseph
Cannon, a representative of the west in more ways
than one"
A remarkable case of self-abregatlonl Here is
President Roosevelt committed to the policy of non
interference with the satisfactory operation of the
Dngley law, and all the party leaders from Passama
quoddy around the country's shore line to Puget
sound posing as rrevocable "stand dpatters" and in
the face of it all the promugator of and the sponsor
for the 'Iowa dea of tariff revision holds up both
hands in holy depreciation at the mere suggestion
that he play second fiddle on the republican ticket
When the great party of protection and sound
money and sane fiscal policies is moved to offset the
head of its national ticket with tariff-schedule
smasher and an upholder of the hollow mockery of
free-trade reciprocity, it is simply trimming itself
for inevitable defeat at the polls, declares the New
York Commercial
The tail end Of the Roosevelt ticket must bear the
name of man who honestly believes in the policies
by William Mckinley throughout long
period of service to his country.
No tariff tinker will do No trimmer can hope to-
find high place in his party's confidence.
