Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 19, 1905. Editor The Advertiser:
 Permit me to offer a suggestion to your progressive paper, which is doing so much towards the upbuilding of our city and which, I believe, Is destined to come, ln the near future, a famous spa. would suggest that. upon the arrival of all trains, stopping over, if only for q few moments, your messen- gers shall carry through each coach a bountiful supply of our beautiful wa ter, served free in clean, tempting glasses, on a dainty tray. Each mes senger to distribute. at the same time an authentic advertisement of the chemical analysis of this health giving water. Each messenger wearing 0 badge or cap band with the name "Ad- Vertiser" on it.
 It is your experience. as we'll as my own, that no water comparable to our artesian water. can be found, except perhaps at a few of the most famous mineral springs.
 That this wonderful water shall be- come the factor in the wealth and fame of our beautiful city, needs but your effort in that direction, at this moment, while southbound trains are passing Montgomery almost hourly. congested with Northern tourists in search of health and pleasure.
 Pardon the liberty taken, for the sake of the motive which prompts 1t, and believe me,
 Mrs. Vim. Knox.

A CAPITAL IDEA.

The Montgomery Advertiser, the capital newspaper of Alabama's capital city, pre- cents It's sworn detailed statement of Janu- nry circulation. And judging from the amount of advertising in it's columns. it cir culates mostly among those who have cap ftaI to spend.
 The Advertiser is a clean, high grade, progressive newspaper, and Is delivered in more Alabama homes every day than any other paper in the State.

MOntROmery's Paved Streets.

There is no better paved city in the South than Montgomery, so far as the business section Is concerned" said a resident of few months in Montgom- cry.
 But I cannot say the same for the city as a whole. The streets and side walks in some of the outer or resi- dence sections do not make an attract i've showing. This is in a great meas ure dependent on the property owners, because the City Council makes 1t & rule to consult the wishes of the people to be affected before ordering any i'm proVemonts.
 The unstable condition of some side walks on which handsome homes abut is not very noticeable except in rainy weather. But when the water has fall en its 'hippety-hop to keep from begging up.

Eggs nnd Altltrhe

bohlng eggs m high places is an interesting thing. said a Western man yesterday. "l don't mean to refer to any part of eggs. hut to the altitude where an effort is made to boil them.
 'Jak" the mountainous region of Col orado. Jt is a very difficult thing To boil dn egg at so high an altitude On the face, one would see uo reason why tErre should he any difference between cooking in the Everglad and in Cul- orado Snrings if the heat and utensils are provided.
 T an no scientist by any means, but l think I have figured out why eggs are almost impossible to boil high up The air Is very rarehed. you know and the pressure Is consequently light on the water. The water bOils at lower tenn perature and evapOrates quicker than Il does lower down. Therefore the maximum heat, CT enough to boil an egg, in reasonable length of time. is never attained,
 "Of course. if eggs could be boiled a, q lower temperature than that of hcilinS water in a given place. there should be no difficulty experienced by the cook "

Electricity As a Power.

Electricity As a Power.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 Your editorial headed The Down. fall of Steam" is apt to mystify. if not mislead, the seeker after inform l. tion. You have assumed that electric ity is a rival motive power; that it's use will gradually become general, and that steam will eventually be super oeded. Such result might be possi- ble if electricity were a power-if it could be reckoned in the same cate gory as steam, water and wind-but Euch is not the case. We have only enumerated in the order of their in- portance. The latter might be elimi- mated If we were to consider 1t only in connection with windmilIs. but when we consider the vast number of sailing craft on the lakes and seas we at once realize that 1t is still d very Important factor. Electricity is not a power--it Is transmitter of power. generated by steam or water The street cars of this city are no more propelled by electricity than they are by the leather belts which connect the water wheels with the dynamos Elec- tricity serves the same purpose as the line shaft and the belt--It transmits the water power from Tallassee to stop the cars stop. An accident to the water wheels at Tallassee brings all the cars. and divers other machinery in this city which is dependent on this 
 The cost of coal NS1elivered at any point, Is the cost or mining plus the cost of transportation. A steam pow CT plant at the mines can be construct ed and operated and maintained at as little cost generally speaking. as a water power plant at the falls. The cost of construction Is so much less that the difference in interest on the inVestmen will make up the differ ence in cost of operation and mainte- nance. The cost of wiring and trans hitting the power through the agecy of electricity will in both instances be the same.
 In some localities water power will be. and is. the cheaper, but in other in- stances steam alone can be considered. Electricity has enlarged the field of steam and water. but it is no more a power in itself than shafting, belting and other transmission appliances. The time may be near at hand when vcs- sels will be propelled across the At lantic by electricity, but this wonder full energy will have to be produced and stored by the power of steam or water. The Downfall of Steam is not impending, but on the contrary steam is daily entering and conqueriug new fields and performing new duties through new agencies. the most inn portant of which is electricity Steam still holds it's place as the last discov- cred power and it's supremacy is ac- knowledFed Water power. with the use of electricity as a transmitter will become a close second: and the time may come when a power will be dis covered and developed that will be su- perior to both, but in the category of world movers electricity has no place for it is not an initial force.

NOVEL COLOR SCHEMES
HATS WERE NEVER PRETT1ER
THAN THOSE SHOWN THIS
/ SPRING.,

Hats were never prettier than they
are this spring, and the prettiest mod
els imaginable were shown at the open
ing of the millinery department of the
Minneapolis Dry Goods store today.
Not only are the shapes universally be-
coming, but the colors are so soft that
combinations that sound almost impos-
sible are not only artistic but charm
ing. One Of the smartest turbans
shown today was Of huge roses in
hello, pink, yellow, white and green,
with a smart aigrette caught at just
the right angle on the side.
The prettiest hats are in the light
colors, white, hello, or blue, and the
PPateaa Of c cGam rs S Braid Caught
up and trimmed with only. knot of
blue velvet, but it was knot tied by
the fingers Of an artist.
White malines, pleated, ruffed, tucked
and shirred, is favorite foundation, and
nothing could furnish a more effective
background for the flowers, plumes and
ribbons. American Beauty roses and
are Frenchy combination that is
found on many a plateau. The tur-
bans are veritable flower hats, and the
flowers are banked around soft malines
or foliage crowns.
A charming model that quickly found
teau and trimmed with plumes, ranging
in shade from darkest hello to cream
white, and with hello roses. An equal
~ pretty hat was in pink, with roses
and foliage around the crown and a
bow Of rich velvet nesting among the
roses beneath the brim.
The children's hats are charming.
One Of the prettiest has crown Of
| white null and ruffed brim of the
popular l'Anglais embroidery, and only
two or three rosettes of light-blue rib
bon for trimming. The poke bonnets
are the smartest affairs imaginable and
are Of fancy. soft braids, flower
trimmed, and with great knots Of rib
bon to fasten the ties. A model for an
older girl was Of blue lace braid
wreathed with forgetmenots and knot
ted with ribbons.

DELAY NOT PROBABLE
SEWER CONSTRUCTION ON LAKE
STREET GIVEN UP AND STREET
RAILWAY HAS CLEAR FIELD.

The Lake street sewer between Oak
land and Nicollet avenues will not be
built and delay to construction of the
street railway cross town line is obvi-
ated. Dirt will be flying on the right
of-way in a few days: Crews will be
started at several: points between Hen
nepin and Twenty h avenues and
street cars will be running in time to
take care of the heavy summer travel.
Inasmuch as there was some doubt on
the part Of the aldermen that the Lake
street sewer was necessity and funds
were insufficient to take care Of sew
ers actually needed, the street railway
company has notice that it can proceed.
Today one Of the Foley Brothers
crews is camped on the Brownsville
farm of H. f. Brown, just beyond Lake
Harriet, preparatory to grading the
Minnetonka line. In a short time men
will be working all over the right-of-
way.

ARMY OFFICERS
FOR MINNEAPOLIS
WANT TROLLEY LINE TO FORT
FROM MINNEHAHA.
Find It announcement to Visit Mime
apolis via st. Paul and at Present
Trolley Line Is Inaccessible Only
After a Long Walk-St. Paul May
Lose by Present Tactics.

Minneapolis will have an ally in the
officers at Fort Smelling il it comes to
an open fight with St. Paul over the ex-
tension OF the Minnehaha trolley line
into the military reservation. One of
the principal reasons given by General
q. y. u. Carr for approving the petit
tion of the street railway company was
the desire of the officers and the men
for line to Minneapolis. ILL.,.
. At present the men at the fort are
compelled to walk some distance to
reach the st. Paul line. With the de-
sired extension the walk will be much
shorter and it will not be necessary
to walk across an open bridge, a prom
enade as hot as the limit in summer and
colder than Greenland in winter.
The officers have now taken sides
Of St: Paul in trying to stop the Min
friends in Minneapolis and do not like
neapoiis. Their only alternative is the
long walk to the falls. Many Mime
apolitans are invited to the social
events at the fort and find it incon-
venient to drive or 90 by way Of St..
Paul. e.G 49,
The business between the fort and
Minneapolis is constantly increasing
and all concerned wish closer means Of
communication. 4 If st. Paul persists
in opposing the extension the officers
will join forces with Minneapolis and
actively assist in helping the permit
thru. The natural result will be closer
business and social relations between
Minneapolis and the fort at the ex-
pense Of st. Paul.

HOPE FOR A REVERSAL
JUDGE Hollis DECISION REGARD
ING GRADE CROSSINGS WILL
NOT STOP AGITATION. 3 s p

Judge Andrew Holt s recent decision
that where the railroad was on the
ground before street was cut thru,
the city could not compel the company
to bridge it's tracks, will not stop the
agitation to abolish grade crossings
The council comm ittee on grade
crossings did not take action yesterday
afternoon. When it was reported that
the railroads had refused 20 consider
the question further another meeting
was planned, at which the representa-
tives Of the railroads will be present.
City Attorney Healey thinks Judge
Hollis decision will be reversed in the
supreme court, and the city engineer
will 60 on with his plans. a decision
is expected from the supreme court
early next fall.
A petition from millowners asking
that the grade crossing at Sixth avenue
S and Washington be abolished, was
read and laid on the table until the
next meeting. The petition points out
that all space on Sixth avenue between
Washington avenue and Second street is
taken up by the Milwaukee tracks, and
as this is the main approach to the
mills. the workmen are not only in dan
ger, but are often late to work when the
tracks are blockaded with cars. J.:
