BERLIN, Feb IA curious case has

tional means as her entire stock in
trade. In the course of her practice
a child whom she was treating died,
and an action was brought against her
for manslaughter.
Her counsel. a man of extreme abil-
ity, argued that in Fraulein Ribios'
methods there was absolutely nothing
criminal. She made no pretensions to
the possession OF secret powers, but
simply relied on nature. He pointed
out that two of the most notable names
in modern German medical science,
Drs. Lahmann and Sehweninger, were

the director of the famous establish

Schweninger was Bismarck's body
physician. It would, counsel main
tanned, be a miscarriage of justice to
condemn Ribios for practicing the ele-
mentary rules OF hygiene. The jury
acquitted her, and the state was con-
demned to pay the costs of the ac-
tion.

BY Associated Press.
MOBILE. Ala, Feb. 1S,--Losses esti-
mated at over S25O,OOO have been caused
by fire tonight that left the famous
Battle house a. ruin and swept on to
buildings adjoining. The blaze was dis
covered shortly before II y. m.
Sunday and at 2:SO this morning the
iremen were still fighting the flames,
which apparently were still beyond con-
troll
The fire broke out i'm soane unoccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen of the
Battle house. which, althugh an old
hostelry, was one of the largest in the
south.
The flames spread so quickly that d
number of guests lost all their belong
ings, and not few of those on the
fifth floor were compelled to take to
the fire escapes in their night clothes.
Heroes Stick to Duty
Two elevator boys, Joseph Parks and
Bernard Constantine, stuck to their
posts until all the guests were gotten
out. although the elevators caught fire
and the youngsters were burned about
the face and hands.
An hour after the fire started all the
electric lights in the business portion
Of the city went out. due partly to the
turning off or the power to save the
firemen from danger and partly to save
one of the ain feed wires being
broken.
At s a. IN. the fire was still burning
fiercely, threatening the Commercial
hotel adjoining. All the guests escaped
leaving their property in the hotel.
An extension of the fire is also threat
ened on the east side. The loss on the
Battle house will be a quarter of q
million dollars, and William Seward,
the proprietor, states that half of that
is covered by insurance.

HE cHEwEp HIM FREE.

From the Washington Post.
 "Old-time lawyers in our state still re- count with glee how shrewd member of the bar saved a client from the peni- tentiary," said MT. M. w. Hastings of Alabama at the Riggs house.
 '.This lawyer had been employed by tough citizen to defend him on charge of horse-stealing The state had a strong ease, and 1t looked as though with such positive proof the accused was certain to go behind the bars. Now, at that pe- riod the law was such that a man could only be tried on an original indictment; in other words, if an indictment were lost or-destroyed, the result was the same as an acuuittal. Desperate conditions re- ouire desperate remedies, and what does this lawyer for the defense do after mak- ing a pretext of wishing to examine the document but sit there in the courtroom and deliberately chew up that indlct- ment and swallow the fragments. He did this just as truly as 'eat 'em up Jake chewed and swallowed a sixth card in a poker game. which every sport in the United States knows that he did
 And this was the cause of change in the statutes of Alabama, whereby a new or substitute indictment can be got out and held as valid in case Of the disap- pearanee of the original"

UncalIed for Alarm.

The New York Evening Post is not inclined to indulge in sensational statements. It is perhaps less "yellow" than any of it's contemporaries, and yet last Saturday afternoon it sent far and wide the following article:
 "Considerable interest was excited in banking circles this week by the an- nouncement of Mayor Ward of Birming- ham. Ala, that so long as he was in control of the city's affairs the interest on its bonded indebtedness would be promptly paid This news treasured local holders of Birmingham bonds who had become somewhat alarmed over intima- tions that the experience of 1893 might be repeated, and interest for a time allowed to go by default. In that year brokers took advantage of the situation, and ask ed for the deposit of alternate coupons, with the result that holders of the bonds became genuinely alarmed and the citys credit suffered in consequence The bonds bear 5 and per cent interest"
 Mayor Wards assurances were no doubt timely, but they were not need ed by any holder of bonds issued by this city who had kept fully informed. This prosperous and constantly ex- banding city can readily protect it's bonds, principal and interest, and long before they mature it will be big enough and rich enough to laugh at the burden. Holders of the city's bonds can implicitly and safely trust both Mayor Ward and the good city over which he presides. There is no occasion for alarm or even slight ner- vousness on the part of the holders of Birmingham bonds. Let them cul- tivate the peaceful sleep that goes with freedom from care and strong nerves. for every bond issued by Bir- mingham will be pa. promptly in full

Course of Peace Negotiations.

America steps forward unblushing- ly as a worlds peacemaker. Her in itiative has brought together the two nations that fought Mukden, the great est battle of all times, and the naval clash in the Japan sea, the most won- derful combat on the sea that the world has ever witnessed. President Roosevelt did his part with dash and rare tact, and there his duties were ended, for Japan will permit no inter- mediary in the peace negotiations. She got a suficiency of such work after her war with China, when Rus sia and two "Me-Toos" robbed her of tl-o fruits of a victorious war She will have none of it this time. She will fight on in preference.
 It matters perhaps but little who the plenipotentiaries are, or where they sit, for the real business will be done over the cables that stretch from Tolio and St. Petersburg In all fair ness to this country, which brought peace within reach, the commission should sit in Washington, thus giving us distinction that is deserved and has been honorably striven for-thus emphasizing our place among the world powers. Possibly this will be the outcome.
 But it now looks as if the plenipo- tentiaries cannot be assembled in less than thirty days, whether they sit in Washington, in Pekin or at The Hague. Another thirty days would be consumed in discussing the terms of will be here, and September in the neighborhood of Harbia means snow and frost. In fine, the negotiations will shorten and minify the campaign that Oyama has been preparing to wage against Linevitch in high lati- tudes. But no armistice will interfere w'lh the accumulation at the front of men and supplies, and If the peace negotiations should prove futile Oya- ma will doubtless be ready to move

Associated Press Service.

The news service of the Associated Press, especially from St. Petersburg has been warmly commended, and 1t deserves all the praise it has received. General Manager Stone himself in duced the Russian authorities to es- tablish an open door as to news. He did this just as the war was coming on, and then he placed the St. Peters burg bureau in charge of Howard N Thompson, who won reputation first as a Washington correspondent. Men who have served acceptably in Wash ington have almost invariably proven satisfactory and efficient in other fields
 The reading world does not stop to think how much it is indebted to the correspondents of the Associated Press. At the earliest possible mo- ment after the naval battle in the Sea of Japan, for example, the chiefs of the various bureaus across the sea became alert, and each and all did all that men could do to furnish informa- tion and throw light upon the historic event.
 But really they are doing like work all the time. Readers become so ao- customed to the comprehensive sys- tenn of gathering news that they do not stop to think how difficult at times at all times-is the work of gather ing the worlds news and unloading it at given time in each newspaper office. It is indeed and in fact the very heighth of intelligent organiza- tion and superior endeavor.

Confederate Veterans.

Tomorrow morning Louisville will come to the veterans of the Confed- eracy, and their sons and daughters. who comprise today the ruling people of the wide section known far and near as the south. From all parts of the south the young and the old are going up to Louisville to attend the fifteenth annual reunion of the vet erans and their sons and daughters
 The preparations of Louisville for their reception are on a grand scale, and no doubt the fifteenth reunion will long finger in the memory of all who attend it. Scarcely a southern city will be unrepresented at Louis vile, and it is safe to say that every Congressional district included in the bounds of the Confectionery will send at least one hundred representative men and women.
 The reunions are especially interest ing to Alabama, for the Confectionery was organized in this state, in the venerable building in Montgomery erected in 1850. In the then senate chamber, now used by the depart ment of archives and history, the Con federacy was organized. and from the dome was first spread the flag of the Confectionery. Brave men battled four long years for the Alabama born re- public. and warm-hearted people are hurrying to Louisville to keep green the memory of those men. These re- unions should last, and assuredly will last, as long as men and women es- teem valor, patriotism and the sacri- fees of men who were willing to give all to their native land.

SHOULD COLLEGE BOYS -s
 MARRY WHILE IN SCHOOL

that at least they ought 10 see the young lady who is to be brought into their fam fly, and to know something about her. Often unjustly they deem her the occa- sion, if not the cause, of the interruption of a course of study which was to pre- pare their son for a useful caree-. They think that the exercise of a little pa- tience. a little prudence, would argue in her the possession of those quali.;es that would fit her for a helpmate.
 There is often degree of unreality and instability, about the passion of a lad who is being supported by his fathers money while he is acquiring an educa- tion. He needs a little steering in his social intercourse, just as he does in his studies, but he does not get it. If the student is self-supporting, he is less likely to marry until his education is completed, and where he does he is less likely to wed a chorus girl or a little village butterfly. ''Whoso findeth a wife indeth good thing" as the proverb has it. But when a father sends his son to college he expects him tosfind an edu- cation first of all That is Thy he some times looks on preeocious marriage that terminates his sons education with no kinder eye than he does upon a college scrape that leads to his expulsion.

Samar a battle in which Daguhob, the Pnlajane chief, was killed, and forty other Pulajanes. Some were captured and no doubt a good many were wounded War has been going on in some of the islands of the archipelago ever since we acquired them, and there is no reason for expecting peace in the early future. When there is peace in one island war breaks out in another, and as the islands are almost numberless the prospect for peace is not flattering.
 The truth is, we do not understand the Malays in the Orient, and the Jap anese do. The Japanese can govern them while they permit them to lead tLeir own life, and Genera Corbin and Gen. Leonard Wood and the rest of our generals are not in touch with buG llll6 DiOWn ulEu III lhC nAilP pines, and they cannot get in touch with them. The two have nothing whatever in common.
 Let us then offer the archipelago to Japan, simply because we do not need colonies in the Orient, or anywhere else, and the Japanese do need the Philippines in order to round out their itland empire. We do not understand the Malay people, and they do not understand Us. Let us sell them to a country tha. can get in touch with them. Japanese rule in Formosa is admittedly successful, and the prob lems in the wild depths of that island were more difficult than any that can be found in the Philippines.
 Uncle Sam should get ready to strike a bargain with Japan at the earliest opportunity. It is our one chance to unload a yellow elephant.
