At ss4S Tonight a Special Fireworks Display VIII be Given at Electric
 Park for Children.

Just because the display is arranged specially for children some one may think that 1t will be a cheap affair, but those who see it will commend 1t for It's beauty. artistic setting and novel conceits.
 One set piece .alone-a mechanical pyrotechnic device representing the mellow rays of dawn growing into the flood light of the rising sun--will more than repay a trip to the park.
 Another set piece representing the aurora borealis. or prismatic northern lights. will be charmingly beautiful.
 The rider and bicycle will certainly amuse the children-a many-hued me- chanical device in actual motion. The flying dove Is sure to meet the hearty approval Of all, and the star and crescent will be exceedingly pretty.
 The display of water geysers, Japa- nese comets, whirling Dirvishes, sig zling eanopies of fire, batteries of big shells bursting into myriads of stars. willow tree streamers saucissfons, cleo tric mines, whirling pin wheels. and many ether strikingly beautiful novelties will make up this display arranged at a cost of $200.

FREED ON WEES PLEA
wRs. TYLER SECURES PARDON FOR
 HER HUSBAND.
He Was Sent to Penitentiary From Hfsuut County for Ten fears Upon Conviction of
 Arson.

The heart of a troubled, wife was viaddaned vesterday by the act of Gov ernor Jelks in giving pardon 10 1onn Tyler a white convict who mas Deen In the penitentiary since 1900 ana was sent up from Blount County. Tne sen tence which Tyler was serVins anou % ed to fen years and was the extreme nenalty imposed upon him on convic- tion of arson in the second degree.
 Few pleas for clemency on account or suffering dependents have reached the Governor with greater eioquence Of circumstances than those of Mrs Martha Tyler, wife of the convict. who was at the capitol closeted with the chief executive of the State yesterday morning. She has been living ever since she was, deprived of her husband by the strong hand of the law, at Empire. Ala. There she has con- tinuousiy struggled for the support of herself and two little children who are helpless, Last winter their poverty inflicted great suffering from severe cold.
 Guards at Speigner. where Tyler has been working out half of his sentence testified to the good conduct of the con- vict and that he has suffered an acci- dent which impaired the use of one or his hands while in the service of the State.
 The trial judge, Hon. J. A. Bilbro, and the Solicitor, Hon. H. c. Hunter. recom- mended the issuance of pardon to Tyler the one giving his belief that the convict's trial was surrounded with some doubt and the other saying that he considered the five years of sem tence already served as sufficient pun ishment The pardon was not recom- mended by the State Board of Pardons. The words of the Governor endorsed across the pardon are as follows;
 The trial judge writes that since he has served two-thirds of his sen tence he ought to be pardoned or paroled. He further expresses some doubt of> his guilt. The trial solicitor, while believing him guilty. thinks the time already served is ample punish . ment for the offense and both the triai fudge and solicitor ask clemency for him Under the circumstances 1t ap- pears that he Is entitled to full par don and it is granted"
 It was fin the fall term of 1900 that Tyler was convicted. He was indicted for burning the barn of a prominent citizen of Blount County named Robert Griffith. In the same year the barn was burned a second barn of MT Grif- filth was destroyed by a mysterious ire as we'll as an outhouse. There was strong feeling in the community where Mir Griffith lived, which Is near oneon- ta, and Tyler's intercessors make 1t plea that an absolutely fair trial was impossible under such conditions. The wife represented positively to the Gov ~ernor under oath that she and her hus- band were together at the hour the property of Mir. Griffith was alleged to have been burned. She could not testify in the trial on account or De- ing barred by her relationship with the defendant
 Mrs. Tyler will rejoin her freed hus- band today.

 President O'Connell, in his annual address. accredited the success of the organization to the splendid discipline prevailing throughout the country. He urged members to do everything possi- ble to avoid trivial and unnecessary strikes MT. O'Conneli said also;
 "The Employers Association Ia leav- ing no atone unturned to misrepreseut the position of the trades unions rela. tive to what is commonly known as the union shop We do not interfere with the rights of any individual ma- chinist to seek employment where he will, but we do reserve the right to say with whom we shall work. If we secure, through our efforts. better con ditions of employment, we have right to say that machinists enjoying the results of our labors should con- tribute to the success of our organIza- ton in maintaining the improved com ditions secured by us If the machin- fists throughout our Jurisdiction would organize as they should the open shop proposition would rapidly disappear, because the employer would quickly most intelligent workmen and the most industrious citizens could only be na- cured through the union."

Ridgewood Junction, suffern, Oxford and Middletown. The line to be pro- tected has two and four tracks at diff ferent places and is the most congested part of the Erie System. Hitherto a manual block, which is a tower with signals operated by a tower man, has been used as block protection. but 1t has been deemed best to install an automatic system for further protec- tion and to accelerate the movement of trains. The new system will be ex- tended over the entire line in the futur.

TURKEY FIRM.
Porte Wants to Punish NRturaliEed
 American Citizen.

Washington, Sept. 11-Minister Leish- mans report to the State Department indicates that the Turkish Government is disposed to maintain strongly its po- sItion that the naturalized Armenian, who has been sentenced to death for murder at Stamboul. shall be treated as a Turkish subject and cannot be al- lowed the privileges of an American citizen. The minister is continuing his efforts in behalf of Vartanian.
 The Turkish Government has so far not formally proposed the settlement of this issue by arbitration. and 1t ap- pears that MT Leishman would be obliged to decline any such proposal The American law as to citizens is dif' ferent from that of any of the Euro pean countries. which almost uniformly require that their assent shall be se' sured to the naturalization abroad o their subjects. so that 1t would prob ably be impossible to secure an arol trary court that would not be forced t' hold that international law was advers' to the Armenian proposition,

COTTON GROWERS TO MEET.
Landowners May Act as to Staple of
 Tenants.

A call has been issued for the Mont gomery County Cotton Growers Asso- ciation to meet Saturday noon at the County court house. It Is thought that this will prove to be one of the most important and lively of the Associa- tion's meetings.
 At this meeting it is probable that some action will be taken in regard to landlords assuring their tenants that they will buy all cotton at 10 cents per pound and urging them not to sell at a lower price. This movement was in- augurated Saturday when cotton buy ess fixed spot prices at g 7-s cents per pound. Landlords at that time agreed to pay the tenants 10 cents and the market quickly came back to that price.
 The meeting will be addressed by W. H. Seymour, president of the Alabama Cotton Growers Association and Hon. R. R. Poole, Commissioner of Agri- culture.
