ence P. LeJeune, one of the most popu-
lar railroad men on the Rocky Noun
tain division of the Northern Pacific,
was ground to pieces by trains some
time last night near Clinton. The re-

rumor is current here that LeJeune had
been pushed from the freight by tramps

SCHOOL CHILDREN
ARE ENDANGERED
SPEED MANIACS ARE MENACE
TO LIVES
COUNCIL MAY TAKE ACTION
Member Of City Legislature Insists
Upon official Activity Before
Fall Term 5eslns-Lsws
TO Be Enforced
COUNCIL MAY TAKE ACTION

+As the chief executive Of the city
the mayor is supposed to see that the
laws Of the city are enforced, and unless
some action is taken by the police COM
mission or mayor in the near future to
protect the people from the speed
maniacs who are monopolizing the pub
lie highways, McAleer may expect a
demand from the council for the en-
forcement of the law" declared a
prominent member of the council yes
terday, and continued:
Every day these speed crazed in
divlduals are breaking the law many
times on every first class thoroughfare
in the city. Not only are children en-
dangered but all pedestrians who ven
ture on the streets. School will soon
open and then the danger to children
will be multiplied many times, as
thousands of them will be forced to
cross the streets on their way to and
from school.
Last year conditions were so bad on
South Main street and on other through
streets that mothers were forced to
leave their housework and guard their
little ones while crossing the streets.
Streets Common Property
1.-THE thoroughfares Of the city are
the common property of all the people,
and the fact that one man has a few
more dollars than another gives him
no more right to the street. In the eye
people are demanding that the law be
enforced.
'If these speed crazed and irrespon-
sible individuals killed only themselves
| 1t would not make much difference to
the world, but they run over and main
and kill law-abiding citizens. Only a
couple of days ago a little girl of 10
years was struck and MANNED for life,
while a man was nearly killed and the
perpetrator of the crime got away and
will never be caught.
"We have a state law which is foolish,
but it has little good in it despite the
fact that it was drawn by the motorists
themselves. We also have a city or
dinance, which If enforced by the
police commission would protect the
people to a certain extent.
ut is hardly possible that such a law
as this state automobile law is consti-
tutional, as it is class legislation on its
face. But then it must pass as consti-
tutional until some cases are tried and
carried beyond the police court. The
people are waiting for the mayor to
stiffen his back and give the people
their rights.
These big automobiles are rushing
around corners and across street inter-
sections at fifteen or twenty miles an
hour, when the law specifically states
that they shall slow down to five miles.
Why is the law not enforced? That is
what the people want to know. and they
intend to find out. They may be long
suffering, but patience has ceased to be
virtue"

SOME DIREFUL PREDICTIONS.

These scientific fellows just will not let us rest in peace. Hardly have we recovered from one scare until some wise guy pops up with an assertion. opinion or prediction to put us to guessing and lodging about what may be expected to strike us next. Some days ago, for example, one Profess sor Pickering. of Harvard, came for ward with general charge of bad con- duct against the entire solar system, not excepting this earth of ours. He tells us, in short, that Jupiter, and Saturn, and some other celestial neighbors are cutting up all sorts of pranks, even charging that the mighty Jupiter has reversed his engines and is now going the other way from what the astronomers have so long taught us; that Saturn is getting gay. and some of the others show indications of having been on a spree.
 All that might not cause us much worry if the trouble would stop there. The planets are very useful, no doubt. but if they want to cut up that's their business, but the prospect doesn't end

Does Not Go Far Enough.

New York Evening Post.
 The only trouble with the protest of the Photographers Union against the Presidents prospective trip on non union railroad is that 1t does not go far enough. The President is going hunting. How about his guides? Are they organized? And do the wild ani- mals bear the union label? Besides why focus attention on the Presidents attitude toward "scab" labor when away from home? We have it on unim- peachable authority that the verp house he lives in at Washington was put up by non-union labor. The question of a mere 2,000mile trip should be allow ed to rest until the White House is dismantled and put together again by sacrosanct builders. Besides. we must reluctantly admit that there is some thing to be said on the side of the distinguished traveller. Possibly he wants to go to some place reached by no other railroad than the M. K. and T. To make him go afoot or in a carriage would waste his and the country's time. Prudence would suggest some process of purgation for the offending road. Perhaps when the Presidential train reaches its tracks. some powerful dis infectant might be applied. or. better yet, an impromptu mass meeting might be organized in sympathy with the striking telegraphers. The time has not come for Jackson's famous phrase to be perverted into ''The Unions. they must and shall be preserved"

A Monetary Problem.

A man in Chicago has 500 cents which he can't spend. can't sell, can't melt up, can't give away. and which he can't even keep. At least if he does any of these things he is breaking the law. and he hasn't figured out the an- swer yet. He is proprietor of a num- the 500 pennies are the mutilated coin that the machines have accepted in six months without his consent He can't sell them for junk copper, because they as pennies for the reason that they are bad pennies and might, cause him to pass some time in jail, and if he keeps them he Is liable fer carrying bad money. Technically. the owner of the pennies violates the law whatever he does with them.

A BIG SAVAGE.

Speaking of giants, we have been in- terested in a quaint statement found in the account of Magellan's voyage around the globe. It was written by an Italian named Pigafetti. and this Is the way 1t reads in the old Sixteenth Century English:
 This Giant was so big, that the head came but to his Waste. He was of good corporature. and we'll made in all parts of his body, with a large Visage, painted with divers colours, but for Cheekes were painted two Harts, and red Circles about his Eyes. The Hayre Df his Head was coloured white, and eis e. Apparre,i barrel was ..t the skinne of a Gas seemed unto us) had a large head. and great cares like unto a Mule, with the body of Cammill, and tayle of a Horse. The feet of the Giant were manner of shooes. He had in his hand a big and short Bowe, the String whereof was made of sinew of that Beast. He had also Bundell of long Arrowes, made of Reedes, feathered after the manner of ours, typt with sharp stones in the stead of Iron heads. The Captaine caused him to eat and drinlke. and gave him many things. and
 
 the which, as soone as he saw his owne 1ikenesse, hee was suddenly afraid, and started backe with such violence, that he overthrow two that stood nearest about him.
 Magellan discovered Patagonia in i520, and from the historians of his discovery the world first got the con- ception that the Patagonians were race of giants, and the extract we have quoted is a fair specimen of the exag- gerations of these early travellers. Later investigations show that the natives are robust race, but not much, if any. above the average size of men. It is possible. of course, that Magellan's historian and his comrades saw one man of gigantic size, as stated. and that this was the origin of the early stories about a race of giants

Di.tinruished visitor.

A distinguished visitor to Montgom- cry yesterday was MT. John A. Hall of Springfield, Mass, President of the Mas sachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Com pany.
 MT. Hall, who is an elderly, but a well-kept, business-like man, came to Montgomery yesterday morning from Savannah, Ga, spent the day here with MT. E. J. Meyer. General Agent of his company. and left yesterday evening for Nashville, Tenn. He will visit Memphis, Little Rock and other South ern cities before returning to his East ern home.
 During the day MT. Hall was shown considerable attention by Mr. Meyer, who showed him the points of interest about Montgomery, including a visit to the State Capitol in the afternoon, where he was introduced to the various State officials.
 "This is my first visit to. Montgom. cry" said MT. Hall, "and 1t is delight to me. You have here beautiful city, a very beautiful city. It is one of the most modern and most picturesque cities I have seen in the South. I hope to visit Montgomery again some time when I may stay longer"
 MT Hall was travelling alone. He Is making a tour of the South, more for his own pleasure than in his business interests.

One of the big things in Wall Street, New York, is the Broad Exchange building. It Is twenty eight stories high and houses 5000 brokers, bankers and corporation officers. It has just come to light that the designer of every inch of the structural steel work from the foundation to the roof was woman-Miss Marion S. Parker, a civil engineer. In addition to this Miss Parker has designed the steel work of the Astoria half of the Waldorf hotel. The Whitehall building Is another giant of lower Broadway, and a score of other big structures she has de- signed. She calls herself a "specializ- ing architect" Miss Parker is a na- tive of Detroit and a graduate of Ann Arbor

Driveway to Highland Park.

"I notice that the Commercial and Industrial Association Is at present endeavoring to select and put in good condition a driveway to Highland Park. said a Montgomery horseman yesterday.
 If such a thing was done. I believe it would be of great benefit to Mont gomery stockmen. There are a bunch of well-bred speedy horses in Mont gomery, and if there was some stimulus there would be more. Such a driveway would be a stimulus. The horsemen might meet In friendly brushes on the driveway and make an afternoon be- hind a horse all the more enjoyable.
 "Of course, it could be argued that such a speedway would be dangerous to those who did not care for the brushes or who owned horses that can not go with the fast ones. sThe danger could be easily minimized by the enact- ment of a set of rules and the enforce- ment thereof. and life in Montgomery would be decidedly more pleasant.
 q see also that a number of young men are organizing a riding club and intend to have cross-country runs. This sport is very enjoyable and Is very beneficial. Horseback riding is, after walking, the best exercise for all parts of the body, and it is decidedly moro pleasant than walking. I hope the rid ing club succeeds.

New York Is next with 1862 women and 7S4 men. Philadelphia is third with l,027 women and 745 men. According nually granted in the United States number 50. 900.

A Curioua Coincidence.

Two historic names appear in cur ious proximity in Spring street, near Macdougal, New York. Over a restau- rant window Is a sign bearing the name Aaron Burr. almost directly op- posite the inscription, Alexander Ham ilton, carpenter and builder" What makes their proximity still more inter- esting is the fact that the entrance to Aaron Burr's country place, Richmond Hill, was years ago just above where the intersection of Spring and Mac dougal streets is now. a short dis lance from the signs still bearing the two historic names. Burr Is said to have passed out of this gate on that fatal morning when he went to Wee hawken heights to fight his memorable duel with Hamilton.

there, for the learned professor -seri- ously charges that the earth is getting hobby. In short. he intimatss that our planet is tipping. and that 1t shows an inclination to keel over. Isn't that a disturbing bit of information? How do we know that our earth will not turn turtle and spill us all out7 and how. the mischief can we tell where we are going7 It would be nice joke on us if we should all be emptied into Mars, or some other planet. without giving us time to be naturalized, but that seems about what we may expect if this Harvard Professor knows what he Is talking about.
 But Pickering is not the only dis turber of human equilibrity, for one Colgate comes forward with statements that are also calculated to worry we'll disposed people. and his lucubrations likewise deal with the planets, not of the present, but of the future. Just how distant that future Is he does not pretend to say, but 1t is coming, or else he doesn't know what he is try
 
 assertions is that all the planets. earth included, are gradually being retarded in their motion around the sun. The natural and inevitable result is that in the course of time that motion will cease and the unlucky planet will tum- ble headlong into the sun, or on 1t. Mercury Is the first one scheduled to take header and the others will fol- low in the order of their distance from the sun, and the earth will come in its order.
 But we are assured that there will comes to head for the great luminary. Any addition to the suns volume, we are taught, will cause a rise in tenn perature. and the sudden falling into it of a comparatively small body like Mercury will cause such a great in- crease in heat that every living thing on the surface of the earth will be burned up. Even if Mercury doesn't cause such a result it will not be long until Venus will follow and that will finish us. If 1t can be possible that these two great Jumps of fuel will not be sufficient to burn us up our fate will only be postponed, for. to borrow the words of MT. Colgate:
 At last the earth has ceased to have an orbit and directs its awful flight | toward the sun in straight line. on and on until the waters boil with tremendous heat, with a speed more swift than the mind can conceive 1t | finally plunges into the sun and in an instant all that was once the beauti- | full and solid earth Is but mass of vapor making but a slight increase in the fiery envelope of that body. Isn't, that warm outlook for humanity? Either we are to be con- stunned by the addition of other planets falling into the sun or else we are to make a straight trip, without stops or switches, and butt into the great source of light and heat where we will stand no more show than a june-bug couraging outlook, and the only con- solation is that the final cataclysm is some time ahead. Still, when we re- member what Professor Pickering says about the antics of the planets, and then take Colgate's predictions 1t has a tendency to make one feel ticklish. There's some satisfaction is the refiec- tion that they are guessing, and may not know much more about it than the rest of us do.

A SuggestiOn.
Dothan Siftin

If we were allowed to do a little architectural suggestion stunt, we'd say put on a shed room on the north slde and then surround the old house that gave birth to the Confederacy with a veranda, twenty feet wide and grow some shady vines all round the balustrade. Hammocks could be swung in the shade and let the Su- preme Court do its setting, lying in them. if the old building is too crowd ed for them to hand down decisions.
