Heroic Blueiackets.

Last afternoon a crew hurriedly se- lected from the hundred men aboard the torpedo boat destroyed Whpple. saved the life of negro named Lonnie White, whose boat had capsized in the bay and who was going down for the last time when the destroyer's men rowed hur- riedly to his assistance and rescued him from a watery grave. Their act showed that they were not only fighters, but life savers
 White started to shore from the Brook lyn. where he had delivered supplies When he rounded the hull of a freight steamship at anchor, he saw the de- stroyer approaching rapidly. Tn trying to avoid being struck. he hauled his boat to the windward and this caused the sails to hIl out. The ballast rolled to one side ana very soon the boat was on it's side and the negro was fiounderlng about in Pensacola Bay. Officers on the Whipple saw and took in the situation, and sound ed call for hoatman A small boat was quickly manned and the negro was pull ed from the water in an unconscious con- dition He was taken aboard the Whip pie. restoratives were applied and he soon recovered.

Coal to Mexico.

The American steamship Pensacola which sailed for probably the last time from this place two days ago, carried a cargo of coal to Tampico. Mexico As stated in these dispatches heretofore, the steamship has engaged herself in another trade. That is of carrying sugar from Cuban ports to New Orleans. It is un- derstood that the Norwegian steamship Hydra. which had been engaged in the sportation of mahogany logs from Belize to Pensacola, will also enter the sugar trade, and her place will be taken by a much larger steamer, the name of which has not been learned. This trade from Belize has grown to enormous pro- portions, and the requirement of a larger steamship.

Late last night a fine two-story resi- dence just being completed and owned by Charles Wiggins, was destroyed by a fire which evidently had been started by an Incendiary. The place was being built at a cost of several thousand dol lars, and persons who first reached the scene after the first alarm had been turned in stated that the fire was all over the house in few seconds, and that a scent of coal oil was strong about the place It is the general impression that the place had been fired.

MONTGOMERY HAS $23,695
 FOR PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
Only $1,3O5 is Needed to Put Capital City in '@ Eligible ClasS-MOre Work
 This Week.

Montgomery has already raised s23.ss5 of the $2S.ooo necessary to put this city in a position to bid for the proposed Ala bama Synndical College for men. Committees will continue the canvass this week and it is confidently believed that the necessary N,SoS will be forth coming.
 Charles B. Castner of Nashville, Tenn, President of the Montgomery Fair, who | as representative of his big store. sub scribed S156 to the fund to secure the To- cation of the Alabama Synodiral College for men in Montgomery. writes interest inglY toSfriends here of the practical ben- efits derived from similar sources in Nashville.
 Mir. .Castner is v6t Montgomerian. His home Is not heref but his business is and 1t is from simple business viewpoint that he subscribed literally to the move- ment.
 Castner "you might say that one mill lion and a quarter is the sum which the students attending the various institu- tions in Nashville leave in this city an nuaIly. Of this amount the Peabody Normal leaves somewhere between $780, 100 to s2s0,oo0., Each pupil spends not less than BOO a year while many spend as much as s500. The salaries of the teach CTS amounts to at least $30.000 per an mum. which also goes to Nashville"
 While in Montgomery recently Mir. Castner' expressed the earnest hope that Montgomery, would secure the Presbvte- rian College. saying 1t would be a most excellent investment.

Some Of the Finest Gems Are Liable

1t has long been known that da-

a very ordinary degree of heat. 1t is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion of

able that besides the liquid mentioned
these cavities may contain gases under
great tension. This being the case,
one may readily comprehend how
very small amount of heat would
cause the liquid and gas to expand to
such degree that the diamond would
give way with an explosion.

1t was at q mothers meeting in a
well-known Brooklyn church. The
members Of the circle were chatting
as they waited for the chairman to
call the meeting to order, and the
following is one of the anecdotes that
was told:
Edith is the six-year-old daughter
of a friend Of mine. She is a liTely
child and quite capable Of forming
her own opinions and of sticking to
them, and is the readiest child to pick
up slang and other expressions not
exactly suited for little girls
vocabulary that have even known.
She has always since her babyhood
been afraid of the dark, and her
mother, in spite of fine theories to the
contrary, has humored her little girl
and allowed a light in her bedroom.
Recently, however, my friend decided
that Miss Edith was arriving at an
age when reason should help her to
overcome her fears.

mother. She talked to Edith and told
her that God was always present, and
that nothing could harm her in the

ing while you sleep
Turning cut the gas she left the
room. But being q loving, sympa-
thetic mother, she stood for a while
outside the door to see how Miss
Edith would stand the ordeal
After some minutes of intense
stiffness she heard Edith say in c
lew voice:
'Beau-tee-ful white angels all
around And then, after a pause
But it beats the old Nick how afraid

WHO OWNS RIVER BED?
Question That Involves An Immense
Amount of honey,

Amount of Money.
Seventy thousand acres of coal land
worth all the way from $40 to 500 an
acre, aggregating at the lowest figure
100000 or 100000. says the Balti
more Herald, are involved in qucs
ton of title which has been raised
within the last few days in Parkers-
burg, w. Va. The question is who
owns the bed of the Ohio river-the
United States, West Virginia, o. the
owners of property abutting on the
river? The state of West Virginia has
jurisdiction in criminal cases over the
surface of the Ohio river, but the
United States owns the waterway,
while the people along the river bank
in many cases claim the land clear
across to the Ohio side. The question
arose in connection with q sale of coal
lands few days ago, and unless the
legislature enacts some law upon the
subject it will probably be carried to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The state borders along the
river for 225 miles, and the river has
an average width Of at least half a
mile for this distance. Every acre is
underlaid with coal, which can be
mined by shafting, and the value of
the land for that purpose will be
worth lighting for.
