upon the sewer, the installation Of
such a system need be no drain upon
the city finances. The insta llation Of
such a system will undoubtedly great
ly increase the demand for city water
and thus make the plant more profit
able.
In view OF its pressing necessity and
importance, | would recommend that
the construction Of a complete sewer
system for the more thickly settled
portions OF the city, be Immediately
undertaken and vigorously pushed to
completion.
/ would also recommend that gem
eral ordinances be passed governing
the electric light, telephone and heat
ing departments and the operating OF
their respective plants.
Other matters there are that will re-
quire your attention, but none Of such
immediate or pressing importance as
those above mentioned.
In the work that is before us. let US
lay aside all personal considerations

Doing this, we cannot fail to make
this city what we all desire to make it +,
the model city of the state.

 PRESIDENT ELloT'S HABITS.

From the New York Commercial
 One thing that has marked President Eliots career from the start has been good health. From the time when as an undergraduate he pulled with lusty stroke an oar on the first shell the crim- son university ever launched upon the Charles, the famous educator has all ways been strong and vigorous. His met to has been regularity, simple food. plen- ty of sleep and plenty of recreation and exercise. His rule of life has been early rising, a careful planning of the days work. three hard hours work in the morning, comfortable nooning two hours of labor until four o'clock in the afternoon, two hours of recreation ani exercise until six o'clock, dinner and lest until eight, labor until ten, and then a good long sleep. As a result he Is as straight and square shoudered and viz orous today as young man of twenty one. When he walks he steps with sprngy stride and with his head thrown lack, and it is his great pleasure in the warm, soft months of spring to jump o I his wheel each morning before break fast and take a lively spin through the quiet, well shaded strets of Cambridge Mrs. Eliot always accompanies him on these trips.

IN HOTEL LOBBIEs
Alabama's Resources.

J. M. Mallory of Savannah, represent ing the industrial department of the Cen tral of Georgia railway, spent yesterday in Birmingham. Mir. Mallory talked very Interestingly of the industrial development and improvements along the great system he represents
 ham and advancement of this section, MT. Mallory was decidedly enthusiastic. He said: While I am a frequent visitor to this city and the section traversed by our line, l am impressed each time l come here more and more of the city's push and energy, and the marvellous re sources of the surrounding country. Ala bama coal is growing in favor rapidly, both for steam and domestic purposes, and while 1t enters into competition with coal from Pennsylvania and West Vir- ginia, in the southeast, especially in the coast cities, you would be surprised at the increase In the tonnage of Alabama coal to this section in the last few years"
 MT. Mallory has made a thorough in- spection of the marble bed recently de- veloped near Sylacauga, and regards the quality superior to any in the United States, and believes the time is near at hand when the whole country will come to Alabama for fine grades of marble IT, stead of importing from Italy and other foreign countries

is that the hospital business is over done, and Medical Talk" says 1t has created an undignified and unprofess- ional demand for patients. It says that neighborhoods are canvassed carefully for persons who will submit to opera tions, so as to swell the receipts of impecunious hospitals.
 The New York Times discusses the hospital problem at length Tt is of the utmost importance" it says, "that it should be discussed thoughtfully, as a business problem, by competent bus mess men. Such men are found among the trustees of most of these institu- tions, and they should be asked tenn porarily to disassociate themselves from their immediate interest in the work with which they are best ac- quainted and become members of a joint committee to consider the whole subject and formulate plan which will command public confidence and re- spect and enlist the active sympathies of those in position materially to aid the hospitals by gift or bequest."
 The general problem does not relate to Birmingham, for this town has no surplus of hospital beds, and never will have. In this district frequent acci- dents occur,s and a larger number of beds will be needed each year. The trouble here is, one of our hospitals is not endowed; it is not even free from debt, and the problem therefore comes before us in acute form. This is not city in which the hospital idea has been overdone, but it is a city which has hospital that has not been firmly placed on it's feet.

Effect of Merger Decision.

Henry Clews in his weekly financial let ter says:
 "One effect of the merger decision has been to remove the uncertainty which held in check number of important rail- road deals. Now that competing roads cannot be put under control of holding company other means are being sought for railroad development, for restraint of cut-throat competition, and for sta bility in rates and earnings The enor- nous growth of our railroad systems mas created forces which tax the ingenuity of our ablest financiers and lawyers to withstand; and preservation is sim ply driving the great leaders into some sort of cooperation, which they naturally desire to make as permanent as possible.
 Just where the line shall be drawn between too much concentration and too much ocompetition is the problem now before the railroad magnates or the west; and it is impossible for either in- siders or outsiders to anticipate the final outcome. Suffice it to say that moves of great importance are now being made on the financial chessboard and the ulti- mate outcome of which is likely to be beneficial to all concerned"

Heroism in Private Life.

Song and story, art and history are full of heroism displayed by warriors, and sailors, and by men and women in the eyes of the world. Heroes in
 the upper walks of life never fail to gain ample publicity, and the hero n the army or navy need do but little to secure all the laurels he desires. He
 wins applause, and perhaps deserves it. No one questions his right to it,
 and no one ever will.
 l But let Us not think that heroism is confined to such persons. Heroism is higher than mere valor It is con | tempt of danger for the sake of some
 great cause. It is courage and devo- tion and faith in a cause, all combined The brave man is not a hero unless he turn his bravery to service at once
 worthy and noble. He may serve Q fellow-man, and when self-sacrifice is JOlIleu lo tOuidSS, we udfO d uelJ, either man or woman. The word heroine" is still used, but it is super fuous. The word hero" is enough.
 But we started out to say that there is more real heroism in private life than in public life. Who does not re- member Sister Regina, who about three years ago was assigned to care for a hobo sailor who in hIs wanderings had accumulated smallpox!

Reuqie Vanderbilt.

Reggie Vanderbilt is the youngest son of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, who disinherited his eldest son because that son preferred to select his own wife instead of accepting family dicta- ton. If the father had disinherited Reggie" the youngest son, on general principles, not much harm would have been done, for the latter recently lost in three nights $450,00O at Canfield's, A famous New York gambling resort. The ups and downs of the Vanderbilt family have led to a movement on the part of District Attorney Jerome look ing to the passage of peculiar bill by the New York legislature This bill compels any person who has engaged in gambling to testify to the facts in the case. but relieves him from prose cution on account of such testimony.
 The bill has passed the New York senate, and it is before the house, where a severe contest between the gambling interest and District Attor- ney Jerome is ln course of progress. A former law of similar nature was declared unconstitutional, but MT. Je- rome thinks the law he has drawn will stand all tests In the courts. The gamblers, however, take the position

Easter at woman's Exchange.

Easter Monday is the biggest day of the year at the Woman's Exchange" said one of the steady patrons of that institu- tion last night. and Miss Jeanette Wal ters-or Miss Jennie, as the popular manager is called almost universally says this year will be no exception, and the dinner next Monday will probably be the best in the history of the exchange.
 "one feature of this annual dinner Is that all the merchants and dealers with whom the exchange does business donate everything used in preparing. this meal. and they do so in lavish style. in compli- ment to the enterprise and its popular management.
 '"rhe menu for the occasion reads about as follows: Cream tomato soup, fried chicken and rice, spring lamb and green peas, cold tongue and potatoes. chicken salad, tomatoes and mayonaise, lettuce and French dressing, mullins and all

ment. and is sending Parker literature gratis to almost every newspaper in the land.
 While this Parlxer-Hearst contest is on other receptive candidates are laying low. Senator German, for instance. the man whom democratic congressman think the most available, the strongest man, and the man who would make the most ideal President, says that he will not enter any scramble and he does not desire a nomin- ation that must be sought. He has de- clined to either organize a bureau or to permit hls friends to do so for him. Yet MT. German as the democratic leader in congress is probability. There are like- wise others in the west, and with many uninstructed delegations to the St Louis convention it may yet be that out of the present chaotic political condition in dem ocratic circles all factions will get to- gether and a man be named who can win.
 Any man upon whom the fighting fac tions can unite will win. Only division In our own party can defeat us.
 The republican program Is settled and practically printed. Their convention will be but ratification meeting. The ticket is Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The latter Is one of the present senators from In- diana. It is a weak ticket. with many bur dens to bear.
 Roosevelt has played politics more than any President who has ever occupied the White House. His single handed service pension promunciamento. without the ad- vice or consent of congress, has made him votes among a certain class in close states, but such high handed proceedings will lose them elsewhere. The man is rapidly making a monarchy of America. Four years more of him would make a centralized government almost equalling the monarchies of Europe The people realize this. Therefore the strength of the present democratic position If the party will but set aside personal politics. and concentrate upon candidate in whom all may have confidence and to whom all factions may give support.

 The world is full of heroes and hero ines, whose sacrifices and whose cour- age far outrun that of those from bat tlefield or battleship, from courts or camps. The heroism of private life is found in every household that resounds with the voices of children. It is the hope of the race, the life of the land. Enoch Arden Is perhaps the best type in literature of such heroism, and poor indeed is that community which has not more than one Enoch Arden.

Problem of the Hospitals.

It is stated that there are twenty hospitals in New York city that are rolling up deficit, and they are kept open by inroads upon pernlan snt funds. The condition of the general private hospitals of New York is surprise 10 New York itself, and there is demand in that city that they be put on sound and safe financial basis.
 It is said that the hospital situation in New York is not unlike the hospital situation elsewhere. Medical Talk for the Home" says what is true of New York is probably true of every other city in the United States It goes on to say:
 Just as soon as a doctor passes the stage of pin-feathers he begins to think either about political office or private hospital To settle down to the humdrum practice of medicine and surgery, and content himself with the wholesome function of family physician, this is a hateful prospect to the average young graduate. If he fails to get a. political pull ha next turns to the possibility of private hospitals. By worming his way into some church, or benevolent society, he sometimes manages to encourage them into establishing hospital for his especial benefit. Every sort of scheme to fasten the hospital business upon some organized. humanitarian work is tried.
 The result of such ambitious efforts

sbakespeare in PennsyIvania.

There is trouble at South Bethle- hem. an iron-manufacturing town in Pennsylvania, where the Methodists worship in an $SO,0OO memorial church. The trouble arose among those Methodists. Out of 147 members of the memorial church, no have signed n petition addressed to Bishop Merrill, asking him to remove their preacher, the Rev Howard T. Quigg, and to send another man in his place. congrega- tional meeting was held as soon as 1t was known that MT. Quigg had been sent back to South Bethlehem to serve another year.
 The Age Herald has no desire to hold it's readers, after the manner of the historical novelist, in keen sus- pense There is no need of a preci- pice The offense of MT. Quigg is that he quotes "too much Shakespeare" in his sermons. and that he smokes. It Is not stated in the account at hand which of the two counts in the indict- is doing the more to lead the South Bethlehemites to destruction. If he smokes cigarettes or poor tobacco, the no may be induced in that way to in dulge in profanity, but 1t Is not easy to see at a single glance how "too much Shakespeare" could hurt them, inasmuch as there Is not an irreverent line in the works of the immortal bard. y Specifications are much needed in the South Bethlehem case, especially touching the Shakspearian charge Let lls see the Shakspearian lines that have been leading the South Bethlehem Methodists towards the lake of fire and birthstone. They may have been headed that way on account of other influ- ences, or inborn sin, and there may no be nearly so much that Is really and truly satanic in Shakespeare as there is in some unstated local insti- tutions. The 110 may in other words be trying to unload on Shakespeare evils that should be shouldered at home.
 Bishop Merrill should call for speci- fications. Let the tobacco that MT Quigg uses be analysed, and let the plutonlc lines of Shakespeare be pro duced If the 110 have a case let them present 1t in detail. "Too much Shakespeare" Is too general! As a rule one cannot be taught too much concerning the human heart. The Bard of Avon knew man from tip to toe, and he told what he knew in incomparable lines. Perhaps much that he told was to the South. Bethlehemites like the coat that fitted and they put it on. But good fits are not hurtful. They are sautary when taken from Shake speare, and altogether Bishop Merrill will be apt to hesitate long and thought fully before he removes MT. Quigg be- cause he quotes Shakespeare and smokes.
