discussion and there were varying opinions on this subject. It was shown that there are three avowed candidates for Mayor, six avowed candidates for Aldermen-a at Large and twenty-four candidates for Alderman from the seven wards. It was at first sug- gested that candidates for Mayor be required to pay $25 each. candidates for Alderman at large $15 and for ward Alermen $10. This gave a total of over S400.
 The committeeman then discussed the expenses of holding the primary in- cluding the pay of forty managers at g day and their meals. It was found that $400 would not be needed and 1t was evidently the unanimous sentiment of the committeeman that the candidates should not be assessed more money than was actually neces- sary to conduct the primary. Finally 1t was determined to fix the assessment at $25 for mayoralty candidates; $l2.b0 for Alderman-at-large and $5 for the ward aldermen without charging can didates for the Central Council any fees.
 The plan adopted will insure the Central Council s27o with which to pay the expenses of the primary.

FANNY ]. CROSBY
Americas Hymn Writer

sons and daughters yet hum these old airs, and still the children in school sing There's Music In the Air"
 Miss Crosby wrote her first hymn when she was forty-five years old. That first hymn began:
 We are going. we are going,
 To home beyond the skies.
 It was written for William B. Brad bury. the composer. For some of Fam ny Crosby's hymns she herself has composed the music. It may be inter- esting to note that the blind versifier was the first woman who ever spoke in the senate chamber at Washington. She presented a petition in behalf of the blind and recited some of her own poems. This was in 1S44.
 She has written the extraordinary number of 5000 hymns, besides can tatas and many other poems and songs. Among the best known of the hymns are Pass Me Not, o Gentle Saviour" Rescue the Pertaining" Safe In the Arms of Jesus" "The Bright Forever and Like the Sound of Many Waters" Miss Crosby herself tells an interesting and rather strange story of how Safe In the Arms of Jesus" was written. One day in 1868 W. H. Doane. who had composed the music for several of her hymns. came to her and told her he wanted some words for a new sacred melody and wanted them quick. He had forty minutes to wait for a train he was to take to Cincinnatti and must have the hymn ready in that time. He went to the plano and played the mu- sic. While he did this Fanny Crosby sat thinking deeply" as she says. As he ceased playing she rose and said, T think I can write It."
 In less fhaO fwanfy yofnufaS aho -x,a- back again with the stanzas of the thrilling revival hymn Safe In the Arms of Jesus," all ready just as they are sung today. Of all the hymns Miss Crosby has written this one Is her fa- vorite. She believes it was inspired. Once she was at a mission prayer meet ing when a young man rose and told the audience how that hymn had led him from an evil, reckless life into the white path. At the lowest stage of his career he passed a place where some people were singing, and the words they sang were those of Miss Crosby's favorite hymn: He went softly in and joined the worshipers, and from that hour the true man in him began to manifest himself.
 In private life Fanny Crosby is Mrs. Van Alstyne. She has written her au- photography. which Is soon to be pub lished. She is a Methodist. and the members of her church in Canada and Great Britian have united to celebrate Fanny Crosby day.
 The blind hymn writer is a skilled musician. She sings in a sweet so- prano voice and plays the piano and guitar. So exquisitely Is her ear at tuned to sounds that from the tones of strangers speaking voice she reads his character with unerring sureness.

the music of Christian worship those who know and love Fanny Crosby's hymns are making her eighty-fifth birthday the occasion for presenting her with a substantial thank offering. Miss Crosbys home at present is in Bridgeport, Conn.,, at T56 State street. Through bad medical treatment of her eyes Frances Jane Crosby became blind at the age of six. But fate has kindly made up in every possible way for the awful deprivation of sight. Intellectu al gifts of a high order were the little blind girls, an intuitive sense of rythm and a musical ear so keen and correct that a discord of sound Is mis- cry to her. The horror of discord ex- tends also to the moral nature of the sweet souled blind woman. Quarrel ing is moral discord most hideous, and it skaters the whole being of the sightless singer. She loves children dearly. and they say 1t matters not how uproarious young ones around her be- come so long as it is in mirth. But let them begin to squabble and fuss -ah, that is different She Is greatly distressed.
 Fanny Crosby was born in Southeast, Putnam county. N Y. She was educat- ed at a school for the blind and in 1S47 began to teach at the Institution For  used her school days well. and among the branches in which she was instruc- tor were Greek, rhetoric and ancient and modern history. Eleven years she was a teacher.
 But all the years since her childhood the rythm of songs unwritten had been beating in her brain, breaking al- ways against the thoughts which were sent out to other things. When she was only eight years old she had writ ten:
 Oh. what happy soul I am,
 Although I cannot see!
 am resolved that in this world
 Contented I will be.
 How many blessings I enjoy
 That other people don't!
 To weep and sigh because I'm
 blind
 I cannot, and I won't!
 At the age of eight this remarkable girl had learned that philosophy which many people drag through threescore years and ten of bruise and fret and torture without acquiring.
 While she was a teacher Miss Crosby continued to write poems. Many of her early ones were set to music and be- came popular songs on both sides of the water. For eight years she stud fed English construction and metrical composition that no false versification might escape her pen. In the Institu- tion for the Blind she wrote her girl ish poems, Hazel Dell" "Rosalie, the Prarie Flower" There's Music In the Air and others. Many were set to music by George F. Root, the popular song composer. Mothers of grown

 A death of unusual sadness was that of Mrs. Ira Champion, wife of a we'll known Alabama newspaper man, which occurred at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning at local infirmary. where the young woman, a bride of scarcely four months, died after an illness of eleven weeks.
 The happy couple were in the midst of their honeymoon when Mrs. Cham pion was seized with illness and she was compelled to go to an infirmary for treatment. A difficult operation was performed in the hope of saving her life and the operation seemed suc- cessful. for she grew better quickly af- ter recovering from It's effects, and seemed on the high road to recovery.
 Some days ago, however. complica- tions arose in her condition. and she grew rapidly worse. Every effort of physicians was exerted in vain and the rising hopes of the husband sank again when he saw the form of his illness. When the hand of God was laid on the young woman and her earthly spirited left the body. the hus- band stood by the bedside and the sym pathy of friends was all he had to. comfort him.
 Mrs. Champion. previous to her mar riage to Mir. Champion in Opelika. No- vember 1. was Miss Pearl Hanson. and one of the most accomplished women of that section of Alabama. She was the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. C. Hanson and was the center of a large circle of admiring friends Everyone who knew her was charmed by her lovely manner and her sweet character and disposi- tion. She was 32 years old.
 The body was removed from the in- firmary to the home of her sister. Mrs, B. L. Cox. 319 North Decatur Street The funeral arrangements have not been made. though 1t is probable that the body will be shipped to Opelika for interment. As soon as relatives are heard from, the notice of the funeral will be announced.
 Besides her husband, Mrs. Champion is susvived by her mother and father Mir. and Mrs. J. c. Hanson of Opelixa two sisters, Mrs. B. l..

IsRKELITEs ARRIVE.
Bound For Benton Harbor to Await
 Judgment Day.


 New York, March 23.--A picturesque party of men, women and children, eighty-three in number, members of a religious sect, who proclaim them selves descendants of the lost tribes or Israel, arrived here today on the steamer Princess Irene.
 They come from Australia and are bound for Benton Harbor, Mich, where they say 400 members of the sect ai- ready are established. They call them selves children of Israel and are vege- tarians. The men wear long hair and boards. They profess to believe in the saving of the mortal body as well as the soul.
 The Israelites explained that they were getting together now so as to be prepared to ascend to heaven together in August, 1918. when they believe the end of the world will occur and satan will be overpowered and put in bond age. They aver that only one tribe of Israel, that of Judah, is now lost and they expect to find that tribe before the end of the world.

Who is It. f. Quinn?

With twenty-five hundred dollars in
gold coin and one thousand dollars
worth of diamonds in a belt tied about
his waist and several thousand dollars
worth of shares in a wallat in his inside
pocket, t. F. Quinn, a mining mar of
Goldfeld, was attacked by two muir
derous thugs in the railroad depot at
Hazen Monday night. The attack was
made about 10 o'clock, the robbers
after a fierce fight succeeded in getting
away with Mr.. Quinn's mining stock,
leaving him covered with blood on the
depot platform. With his face swathed
in bandages Mr.. Quinn passed through
Reno for San Francisco yesterday
morning. Nearly all his front teeth
had been knocked out, the result of be-
ing beaten with the dubbed end of a
revolver.
Mr.. Quinn describes his assailants as
a tall and a shot man Deputy Sheriff
Allen of Hazen has an idea as to the
identity of the men but has not sue
ceeded in capturing them. Mr.. Quinn
has stopped the transfer of his mining
stock which is valued at several thous-
and dollars. That he did not loose his
money and diamonds is due to his own
bravery, for his clothes and appearance
of his face yesterday gave evidence of
the experience through which he
passed.
Mr.. Quinn had been waiting in the
hotel for a train. He was told to be
careful in going about with so much
money Of him but gave the warning no
thought until assaulted. Yesterday
morning he had his property shipped by
express.
