In a short time after taking the drinks. says Baskin, one of the privates went behind the bar counter and ordered him back against the wall. enforcing his order with the point Of his oayonet. He backed against the wall, the negro alleges, and while in this position. the sergeant and the other private went to the cash register and took from 1t the contents.
 According to Baskin's statement. the men followed up the footing of the cash register by filling their pockets with quart and pint flasks of whiskey. They also helped themselves bountiful- ly to cigars and one of the men took a small sack of flour.
 The negro clerk also ayers that as the men were about to leave the store one of them noticed the safe and were soon at work on it.

In front, across the drive, is River
 side Park, one of the most picturesque bits of landscape in the country. All
 summer long Miss Chambers proteges play in this park when they are well enough. Babies that cannot walk are wheeled there by white capped nurses who care for them tenderly. The It. tie ones stay till they arc well. and more than one child's life has been
 saved by this thoughtful Kindness on the part of the rich young woman. Hers Is the charity which literally be- gins at home.
 The sisterhood of woman will dis count the brotherhood of man by a long score when it comes to breaking down social castes and giving the race equal opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness The be- ginning. at least. of such grand sis- terhood has been made by a number of women who caught their inspira-
 ton from Hull House. Chicago. and its noble founder. Jane Addams.
 The idea itself Of an affiliated league of women's trades unions and
 '.allies' originated with a man. Eng lish Walling. who sees that the time has come to break down the walls of social caste among us or worse will happen to this republic. At the last meeting of the American Federation of Labor in Boston MT. WallinE noted
 how little wage earning women and
 their unions counted for in that or ganization. Plainly unionism among
 women workers was feeble. and the women who belonged to trades unions were too timid to make an impression on the public mind. So women's wages were kept down to the lowest notch. and the corps spirit was lamen-
 tably lacking among them.
 Mir walling considered. He saw with intuitive perception that the un- ion labor movement among women would receive its greatest boost If women of wealth and social standing became interested in the welfare of their sisters who toll in stores. shops and factories. He began working along this line, influencing women of the well to do class not to patronize those of their sex who labor for wages. but to make these toilers know in very truth that all women are sisters. Everywhere MT. Walling found intelli- gent women ready to help. The result was the formation of the Woman's Trade Union League. af amalgamation of women of wealth and social posi- tion and women who work in shops. For such women the slum settlements can OHly DetteT COHultIoHS tcHlpoi The permanent uplifting can come from themselves alone, through fast
 union of interests. through awakening intelligence and aspiration. Women of leisure of various large cities quick ly caught MT. WallihE-s idea. One of the first was Miss Gertrude Barnum of Chicago. now national organizer for
 the league. She had served her time in Hull House and went heart and soul into the Woman's Trade. Union league. She engineered soon afterward the corset markers strike in Chicago. The national headquarters of the league are at present in Chicago. with Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotion as president. Jane Addams is one of the vice presi- dents. There are already branches of the league in Boston and New York.
 The first national conference of the
 Organization was held recently in New
 York city.

PICKETT SPRINGS CASINO.
Mr. Edwards and Company Give Capi
 AAl n~alnRunAAA>

Mr. Edwards and Company Give Capi- tall Performance. The consensus of opinion of the large audience that witnessed the in- itial performance of Walter Edwards
 and Company at the Pickett Springs Casino last night was that the per formance was far away higher and
 better than anything that had ever been produced in the little summer playhouse since its beginning two
 summers ago.
 While Walter Edwards is known in Montgomery and recognized as an ac- tor of unusual ability. 1t was not ex- pected by the audience of a popular priced house that an entertainment of the merit produced last night would be given. Those who saw the play Fun in Boarding schoor were not only pleasantly surprised but positive ly delighted with the comedy and the excellent company that produced 1t. Mir Edwards Is pleasantly remem-
 hered in Montgomery as the star of the Sign of the Four" company that achieved a distinct success at the Bi- tou Theatre last winter and is un-
 doubtedly one of the best stock com- pany actors that has been seen in this city for years. He has surrounded himself with a company of actors not dummys to give him opportunity to workout number of people who
 know how and what it is to act. The Captain Courtney" of MT. Ed wards was cleverly done and in his
 usual finished style. The part suited
 him and he took advantage of every opportunity to enhance the value of his lines
 The supporting company of MT. Ed wards is without doubt the best that | has been in the Casino this season :. MT. OMeara made an excellent Major lOGallagher and handled his part clev- erly throughout. W. T. Chatterton in the character of Mir. Hibberson" made a favorable impression and the
 work of MT. Applebee as Professor Won Mosser was especially deserving of mention.
 Miss Adora Andrews. the leading wo-
 man. is a pretty and also stylish young woman and has in addition to her good appearance, a knowledge of
 acting. As Angela Brightwen." she had many chances to show her abil- ity and 1t is sufficient to say that she never missed chance. The character work of Miss Agnes Everett was far above the standard expected in roper toire companies and she won many admirers by the way she enacted her part.
 The remainder of the company was fully capable to uphold the lead given of the Edwards show are unusually good looking-a feature not to be If they couldn't act. they | would be good to look upon but the idea is that they act.
 It Is well worth ones time to see | Fun in a Boarding School" The bill will be repeated tonight.

COL. GRAVES ACTS.
Omcers of Regiment Do Not Believe
 Story of Negro.

StOfy On NN9AUs
 Col F. H. Graves, commanding the 2nd regiment, said that as soon as he received the letter of Chief Gerald. he suggested to the city detectives who came to the camp that they and the negro who said he was robbed shoulo inspect the men of the regiment that the negro might identify the men who he said robbed him.
 The negro has stated that one of the men had letter on his hat. He pro posed that all the companies having that or similar letters on their hats be lined up and examined by the negro.
 The police officers or detectives, how ever, had no suggestion as to now the culprits If such they were, might De detected. Colonel Graves said that no clue had been furnished him that would lead him in any way to the finding 'of the men charged with the crime. The police department had notified him that some of his men were suspected of robbery. but they never hinted at any way in which the alleged robbers might be picked from among the 500 men of the regiment. He was anxious to cooperate with the police depart ment in any way they might suggest.
 Colonel Graves directed Lieutenant Colonel c. R. Bricken to look into the matter in a special investigation. Late yesterday afternoon Colonel Bricken said:
 The whole thing is an outrageous attempt of a designing negro to hold up the regiment for a sum in the neigh borhood of $1.5o. The negro simply be- Ieved that by telling lie he might make the regiment pay him for goods he never had. The designing negro in this case overstepped himself, how ever There is nothing to show that his story is true and the attempt to hold up. the regiment will fail" 'Tf, however, it should happen that proof could be made of the story the negro tells, why we would ourselves become the prosecutors of the men. if there could be such men in the regi- ment and we would assist all in our power 'n sending them to the peniten- tiary"

Children must learn to read and write and cipher. It iS very desirable that they should have some training of the eye and the hand and that their powers of observation should be culti- vated But the essential things are the rudiments. Most children are in school hardly long enough to acquire these. It Is of the utmost importance that they should read and write and figure and know something of the country they live in. and the time nec- essary for these must not be en- croached upon by other things which though important, are not absolutely essential
