GARBAGE DILEMMA
Contractor Carroll is Sustainsd by
 Board of Health.

The main feature discussed at the meeting of the board of health yester- day was a motion of Commissioner Loomis to deprive Garbage Collector F. H. Carroll of the contract unless within the following thirty days he shows evidence of being able to do the work. Another part of the motion was to inform the collector that his work has been very unsatisfactory in the past.
 Chairman Rodman presided and q full board was on hand. The discus sion opened with the chairman hand ing around a typewriter document showing the number of complaints re- ceiyed against Carroll from January Up to July 31 and the number received against his predecessor from January to December, 1904. Following is the document.

the execution of huge change in a huge country. Oriental civilization is to be transformed into western civili- zation, and the task is immense. p
 Tsi An does not shrink from it. She sees how Japan has prospered since parliamentary government was estab- lished there in 1889, and she has de- cided to give China a parliament twelve years hence. she will not per haps be alive to open that parliament, but she proposes to work untiringly while she lives to educate, chiefly in Japan, young men for work in that parliament. Confucius and other out of-date philosophers are to be neg lected, and western ideas and wSstern methods, especially as they have been h.eed to use in Japan, sfe to take their places. The revolution is won derful, and Tsi An is at the head of 1t. All China seems to Is willing. Japan has been great object lesson to the initiative Chinese.

Ensley's Tonnage.

"But very few people are aware of the fact that Ensley's railroad tonnage ex- ceeds that of Birmingham, and yet it is a fact" said a business man of that city yesterday.
 ''The great increase in the amount of business done from our city by the rail- roads is very gratifying to our people. With our large railway tonnage, how ever, we have but one passenger train each way per day, though every road leading into the Birmingham district touches the city and does a large busi- ness with us.
 .The only passenger train we have is The Age-Herald Messenger Boy on the Frisco. which backs in and out every morning and evening. It occurs to me that with the amount of freight business done by these roads. in Ensley that we should be given better passenger service than we already have.
 .The business of the Messenger Boy, I understand, has been better than the management expected and is increasing. believe other railroads would find 1t profitable to put on passenger service

Ireland Fer The Irish.

The landlords of Ireland are rapidly disappearing, and the man who tills the soil is as rapidly becoming it's pro- prietor. If funds could be provided fast enough the landlord question would soon be solved.
 Under the Wyndham act the govern ment Is to issue G1O0,000,000 of land stock, to be sold and the proceeds loaned to the tenant purchasers, to be repaid by them In long course of years, less 912,00O,O00, which the government itself pays. The latter sum is expected to settle differences In price between landlord and tenants. The financing of the scheme was to proceed slowly and steadily at the rate of G5,0O0,O00 year, but the demands of the people call for more rapid financing, and the government will next year try to meet the demands.
 The entire scheme Is now seen to be feasible. Landlords are reasona- ble. and the tillers of the soil are ready to pay their prices. Agree ments are reached on every hand. If the British treasury can make more rapid advances Ireland will pass into the hands of the Irish, and the land lord who has so long oppressed and vexed the people will disappear alto- sether. The transfer of the land to the people Is the chief triumph of the Balfour ministry, and 1t will ever stand to It's credit.

knnmledae of Diseases.

.rrhe physicians and scientists know enough at present." said a distinguished physician yesterday, well and favorably known in every county of the state, ito ward off all diseases from the human race. They now know what the mos quito does, what disease germs are and how to detect them, and they under stand inherited tendencies. Disease germs cannot be inherited, but tenden- cies to their receptivlty can be. These things were either unknown or unappre- ciated a generation ago. They are well known now.
 'orhey are sufficient" added the doc tor, ito enable us to drive away disease and compel mankind to dry up with old age. always provided we could have our own way. If we had the power to say who should marry and who should not if we had the power to say how mankind shall live in this world-if, in short, we could apply our present knowledge fully and effectively disease would disappear
 But we have no such power. Human nature remains unchanged, and disease will continue to afflict the race, All I started to say was, the knowledge of diseases, their causes and prevention, has been wonderfully widened. and today we do not have to guess, for we know the things that were mysteries thirty years ago.

Reform in China.

Tsi An, the empress dowager of L.Ana, is over TO years of age, and her power in Pekin is questioned, although there is a living emperor. He is living, but he does not assert himself, pre- ferring to leave public affairs in the hands of the remarkable woman who has risen to power from the ranks of slaves.
 History will yet do full justice to this woman, who deserves to be made as prominent in Chinese affairs as Elizabeth is in English annals. She is far-sighted and clear-sighted. True, she chung long time to precedent and tradition, but her eyes are opened to the situation, and she is endeavor- ing to bring her country up to western levels. She proposes to modernize China, but this cannot be done in a day. Some time must be taken in

Japan's Commercial Arbitration.

The New York Times sees trouble ahead, and a good deal of it, all In the ar East. It forsees that Japan's chief conquest will be commercial, strictly commercial. She will seek food crops In Ubrea and China, and in return she will sell them manufac- tured goods. She will endeavor to sch manufactured goods to the entire Orient from Dutch India and the Phii- ippines to the top of China. She has a genius, positive genius for man. ufactrring, and she pays aer male op- eratiyes 17 cents day, and h .' female operatives 10 cents, and these prices are much higher than she paid ten years ago. This country Is knocked out. and the countries of Europe can not make goods against such labor prices.
 Already Japan has begun to secure trade in the whole extent of Eastern Asia. The following table shows the exports of Japan and the United States to the Oriental countries for the cal andar vear 1914 as follows:

A FABLE OF TWO MAlDENs.

From the Baltimore American.
 Once there Were two Maidens who Sought to Catch a Nice Young Man, who also Was Good Thing. And 1t was a False Start in the Eyes of the Undis- corning, for the One was Exceeding Fair to Look upon, and Dressed Stylish ly, while the Other was Plain of Coun- tonance, and her Rat was Always Show ing through her Pompadour. The Pretty Girl Smiled Sweetly on the Nice Young Man, who was also a Good Thing, and Talked to Him, till She Dazzled him with her Beauty and charmed Him with her Wit. The Plain One gazed Wonder ngly at him, and Made Him Talk to Entranced at his Wisdom and Learning. He took the Pretty Girl out Riding and to the Theatre, and Bought her Candy and Flowers, and All the Knowing Ones said She had struck a Winning Gait on the Homestretch. when One Day he Mar ried the Plain Girl and took Her on an Automobile wedding Tour of Europe.
 The Pretty Girl had Made him Very much Pleased with Her. but the Plain Girl had Gone her One Better, and Made him Very much More Pleased with Him. self

WOMAN HAS A PLAN TO
 CHECK HUSBANDS CIGARS

sioes being a maddening thing for any normal man to have to do'
 But, said persistentlv. and thought l had a clineher this time .uh,, couldn't you get some of these all tohaa. co cigarettes when you go to the tbaa- Ire and smoke them between the acts9
 The look, whitening as a hot prairie plast In mid-July, that he bestowed upon me then convinced that hadn't won. even with that crafty suggestion.
 My dear he said sardonicaIIv T can't ask you if you ever smoked one of 'em, of course, but if you ever get a chance ask-well, ask some of vour brothers if they ever smoked any of those all-tobacco cigarettes. They'll tell you.'
 So after that conversation I got to thinking the matter over, and now my scheme it this:
 "The theatre ought to provide a snipe checking office for the men who want to smoke cigars between the acts It could be located out in the lobby, with proper fumigating and other sanitary safeguards. A man could be employed by the theatre management to run the snipe checking plant for comparatively J. only be required to work at nights
 My husband, for example. could go out after the first act, light his cigar, smoke on the cigar as long as he had the time to puff at it, and then pass 1t to the man or boy in charge of the snipe checking room. The person in charge woul ddeposit the still burning snipe or would deposit the still burning snipe or in a numbered compartment, and give my husband small brass check bear ing a number corresponding to that of the compartment in which the snpe, or butt, had been deposited. Then at the end of the second act my husband could rush breathlessly out of the theatre, llshand over his check, seize his snipe or butt, and light it up again. and pull at It with all his might until he heard the warning bell in the corridor announcing the curtain, when he could deposit it in the snipe rack again, and so on. until the cigar was wholly consumed
 There would probably be fully a quar- ter of an inch of it left after the fall of the curtain on the last act, and he could redeem this and smoke it on the way home on the back platform of the car. and thus keep himself from perishing from off the face of the earth for need of smoke until he got home and flop ped into his Morris chair, and shut his teeth around the stem of his old, smelly pipe.
 I'm going to write this suggestion out and send it to the theatre managers the first chance l get. I abominate matinees and the only way that I can see of ever getting my husband to go to the theatre with me at night is the adoption of the snipe checking system, or something like if z"

sprlnkllns Is Needed.

For the protection of the people living in Avondale Woodlawn and East Lake, First avenue between Twenty seventh and Thirty-second streets should be oiled or sprlnkled to keep down the dust" said a resident of East Lake yesterday. ''The dust is terrible on a mans eyes and throat in this dry weather, and l dislike to come to the city and return home.
 'sWhen the street cars the trains and the vehicles get to moving around that portion of the city at pretty lively rate they raise an amount of dust that plays havoc with the patrons of the street car or the pedestrian.
 Recently I was returning home late in the afternoon and the dust was so thick that l could not see half block ahead. People on the street car were coughing and their throats were sore and raw as a result of swallowing so much dust. Their eyes were smarting ana they were In real pain in many instances.
 ''It seems to me that something could be done to relieve this something. l do not know whether it should be the street car company or the city, but one of the two should either arrange to have the street sprnkled once or twice during the portions of the day when travel is heavy, or to have the street oiled"

ClOsinn The Season.

The baseball season Is ended, and the troubles connected wlTh the vel low scourge and the yellow action of some players are ended also The league has shown remarkable vitality and tenacity Tn the face of divers ad- versailles. It withstood them all, and finished the season as serenely as if nothing of an unusual nature had oc- cured. Yellow Jack can down many enterprises, but he cannot disrupt the elastic and elusive Southern league.
 It is a source of home congratula- tion that the home team finished with percentage of 534. It did not cover itself with glory as did the Montgom- cry team, but 1t held tenaciously to it's percentage, and finally won a good place, all things considered.
 This advantage is due in good part to Manager V, 1ehan. He had his troubles; he did keep an infield which did not and could not make good; but still he knew how to get the best work out of the men he had, and his per sistent firmness and courage landed Us team at last winner of ma jority of the games it played. The margin in his favor Is narrow. A narrow margin Is, however, better than none at all.
 All in all the season at home has been a reasonably good one. The earlier weeks were highly prosperous and promising. Bumps came and a fan to sixth place lessened the attend ance The lesson of the season Is plain, so plain that he who runs may read, namely only team that can contest for the pennant or at the worst carry off second honor will till all seats In this town. The game Is highly enjoyed here, but the Birming- ham fan Is like every other fan--he wants to see the home team at the top

ALABAMA'S SENATORS.

From the Nashville American.
 The present term of Senator Morgan. of Alabama does not expire until March 3, 19O7 while that of his colleague, Sen ator Pettus, does not end until March B. 1909. Owing to the fact that the legisla- ture of Alabama meets only once in four years the successors of Morgan and Pet tus must be elected at the next session, which convenes next January, the mem bers of which are elected this year. Neither of the venerable senators has any opposition. but the situation appears to be somewhat awkward. Senator Morgan is S1 and Senator Pettus Is S4. The for mer has one year and the latter three years to serve from next March. If they should be reelected next January one nine-year lease on the office. If they should live to the end of their next term. Senator Morgan would be SS and Senator Pettus 99 If they should be reelected next January or during the session, and both should die before the succeeding session of the legislature, four years thence, the governor would appoint their successors. If they should die soon after their reelection the governors appointees would serve nearly four years.
 In view of the venerable ages of the senators and the fact that their terms expire between sessions of the quad rennial legislature the situation is some what awkward and rather delicate. That they will both be reelected, however, is not doubted. They are two Of the south's strong men. They were "Confeder- ate Brigadiers," and are loyal to the ideals and traditions of the south At the same time they are conservative of thought and broad of vision, and com mand the confidence and respect of their fellow senators from all sections. The service of Senator Morgan has been long and honorable and he has been a not able figure as democratic leader. Sem ator Pettus never sought and never held any political office except that of sen ator. He entered the Senate in 1s97 Sen ator Morgan entered 1t in 1877. The former
