Superintendent Hill Praises East Lai<s
 Hon. I. W. Hill. State Superintendent of Education speaks in terms of the highest praise for the Alabama Boys Industrial. a school at East Lake, which he visited a few days ago. The school is doing an excellent work and the pupils are contended and happy.
 The school in his opinion is fully meeting the hopes and expectations of those who are Instrumental in estab- fishing ft. The pupils are unfortunate boys who were removed from evil sur roundings to give them an education and wider opportunities in life.
 The day I was there" said Mir Hill "the school had seventy pupils. IL was pleasure to witness the happi- ness and contentment of these boys The conditions were satisfactory. most satisfactory. Those who were respon- sible for the school have just reason to feel proud of its success."
 Most of the boys were taken up from the streets of the city and res moved from distressing conditions, One of these boys will next year be- gin course at Auburn. Gtili another will go to Knoxville and c third will study medicine in New York. These boys who are to become professional men were once street samins or worse.
 Superintendent Carnley who recent. ly succeeded Superintendent Grimm is doing a good work. He has a fine field and he appears to be measuring up to his opportunities"

Montgomery. Ala. Aug. 24th. To the Democratic Voters of Montgom

muHIBOH6Eyt <Aid.t AdBs SNsh' To the Democratic Voters of Montgom' cry County:
 hereby announce that I am a cam didate for County Treasurer. subject to the action of the Democratic primary. The Identity and individuality of cam didates in the present campaign seems to have been lost sight of. and, the fight appears to be between some of our financial institutions. I shall ap- pricate the support of everybody. but wish 1t to be distinctly understood that I am not the candidate of any bank, and, therefore. if elected. I will be free to act for the best interests of the people.
 The off1ce of County Treasurer should be something more than a fgurehead. and the man who is chosen as the cus- !, todian of the county's funds should be free, and untrammelled in selecting depository for the safe-keeping of the same.
 In the event of my election. shall at all times use my best judgment in safeguarding the trust confided to my keeping, and at no time will ever for get that am responsible to the peo- pie for the manner in which the duties of the office Is discharged. have been 8 resident of Montgomery County for twenty-two years, and have always tried to discharge the duties of citi- zenship in such manner as would rebound to the best interests of my country. and if the people honor ma with the office which I now seek, will leave no stone unturned in my et- forts to render them faithful and efil- cient service. I shall use every precau- ton in selecting a depository for the county funds, and VIII at all times in- sist upon knowing that the money Is in the bank and ready to be paved out upon proper vouchers do not believe that a mans chances for public offica should be measured and determined by the financial backing which he re. ceives from outside parties. Such a condition is deplorable. and if long continued will kill any country that ever existed since the creation of man.
 Very respectfully.

And the Indian Ball Game Was Called.
 The baseball game between Catoma Degree Council Improved order of Red Men and Pocahontas Council. was call ed in the third inning yesterday after noon on account of rain with the score standing to 2 in favor of Pocahontas Council.
 A good crowd witnessed the game and fast amateur ball was played by the Indians. The only bad feature of the game was the presence of Chief Heap Big Speckle Face Joe Madigan in the centre garden for the Pocahontas team. Madigan was a feature and his r-piercing war-whoops. however helped his team to remember that they had a centre fielder. though the fact would never have been known by the number of balls caught by the middle gardener.
 Cliff Parks and Pat Morgan were both effective in the box. while Tom Lewis and Peter Joh did the receiving work in equally good form.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
This Topsy-Turvy World.

Bfom an Exchange.
 This Is topsy-turvy world. One man Is struggling for justice and an- other Is fleeing from it. One man is saving to build a house and another Co trying to sell his for less than it cost" One man is spending all the money he can make in taking a girl to an entertainment and sending her flow CTS in the hope, eventually, of making spending the gold he has got to get . divorce. One man escapes all the diseases man Is heir to and gets killed on the railway. Another goes every where without being hurt. and dies with whooping cough. Such is life!

 New Woman Tn Japan.
 Tn our mothers generation" de- clares the wife of the Japanese consul in New York. 'the girls were taught simply to become good wives to their huSbands and good mothers to their children; therefore, they were educated to be modest. obedient and capable of controlling themselves. They were taught also to keep hot SC. how to sew, how to read and write, how to arrange flowers. how to make and serve tea. and very often they also studied music ana literature, but they received no school education such as they receive now.
 Girls of the present time all receive . modern school education. Japanese ladies in 1904 are not contented merely so stay at home and take care of their children. They attend lectures, meet angs and entertainments. They publish Women's magazines and discuss their rights and duties"

 A thorough society woman. one who understands herself. will take some- thing before going to a dinner party.
 It may be just cup of hot tea. per- haps a stimulant in the way of a cup of black coffee: or better than all. a cup of hot milk and cracker. This braces up the nerves, stays the stomach and keeps the body we'll nourished un- til 1t Is time for dinner.
