The Albany Herald Is likely to get itself stricken from the good books of all lovers of scientific music by its deS- laration that there is more melody ik the singing of negro church consre- gation on quiet night than in the crashing brass of a sousa's band or the roar of a grand piano under the ringers of a Paderewski. There are many who will thoroughly agree with the Georgia brother but there are many others. who will look on his remarks as actual sacrilege And yet-well. a great and crashing noise Is not always rnuaic to ears attuned to melody

New Yorker Takes Occasion to Deny z
 Newspaper Dispatch.

Newspaper Dispatch.
 New York, Aug. S.-(Special. )-The following statement was given out to- day by Teodore H. Price:
 T notice in The New York Sun this morning dispatch dated sherman. Texas, in which Col B, E. Smith, Pres ident ot the Southern Cotton Associa- ton. is reportei to have received a telegram from his New Orleans repre- sentative stating in substance that The odorc H. Price had wired parties in New Orleans to the effect that he had Wall Street solid at his back iA de- ternined effort to force cotton to cents and lower this week. The dis patch. 1t Is said, was concluded by tL5 statement that the Southern Cotton Association must be crushef now. Per init me to say that l have sent no such dispatch. nor have in any way so ex- pressed myself On the contrary I be- iieve that the Southern Cotton Pro- ducers' Association, if that Is the on sanitation that Colonel Smith repre- sents. can be made a very effective aid to the Southern planters in the hand ling of their crop Further. l am not engaged in any effort to depress the cotton market. which now seems to me in a condition of eQuipoise and stabil- ity that ought to be equally satisfac- tory to both producer and consumer, I9 nnaintained.

Marriage and Divorce Law.

Baltimore sun.
 The movement for uniform divorce laws in the various States Is again at tracting attention. The Legislature of Pennsylvania has passed law au- thorizing the Governor to appoint three commissioners to consider the question and has invited the other States to take similar action. The commission to promote uniform legislation on various subjects, which has been in existence several years, will hold its annual meet ing at Narragansett Pier about the mid dle of this month. Then there will be meeting of delegates appointed by the Governors of the States to meet in Washington to consider the divorce the tn me' divorce evil as far as possible every State must con cur For if one of the retains the free divorce system It would afford the means of dissolving marriage for the citizens of all the other States. In some of the new States marriages has come to be regarded as q mere tenn porary arrangement, to be lightly en- tered into and as lightly and easily ter minated. The legislation of some of the States. it is charged. is framed with the express design of attracting the divorce business in order to encour- age the hotels, by requiring those who apply for divorce to reside In the State a certain number of months. As long as public sentiment in A State toleTates such an outrage upon decency 1t is use less to expect that State to join the movement for uniformity of laws and decency and morality.
 It has been suggested that marriage and divorce legislation be committed to Congress. so that uniformity would then be assured without the consent of all the States. An amendment to the Constitution can be ratified by the con sent of three-fourths of them. If there are not more than a dozen States in favor of free and easy divorce. such an amendment might be adopted But 1t Is exceedingly doubtful whether the more conservative States. like South Carolina. where there is no divorce law. or New York, where divorce can be ob- tafned for but one cause occurring after rraarriaGs- or Maryland where the law

The Metal Workers.

Washington, Aug. S.--At their ses- sion today the International Amalga- mated Metal Workers Alliance decided to-regard the present session as a regular meeting. notwithstanding 1t was called as a special meeting. It is believed that one effect of this will be to cause at this time an election of Eenefal officers which would otherwise have been postponed until next year.
 The alliance has under consideration a proposition looking to consolidation with the eoppersIniths organization and some of the officers of that or- Ranizatton are here for the purpose of comforting on that subject.

When a contemporary speaks of "a water-level rail line from Iowa to the Gulf of Mexico" we are free to admit that we do not understand It's meaning. yet that is the sentence we find in The Portland Oregonian. If water-level does not mean level with the water we don't know what 1t means. and a line couldn't be level with all the water from Iowa to the Gulf.

New Cotton Warehouse.

Tt Is a matter or regret, said prominent cotton man yesterday, "tha' the new bonded warehouse which if being erected by the Roman Cotton Company, Marks and Gayle and F. F Johnstone Company. will not be com pleted in time for this years business.
 This warehouse is building near the site of the old Fisk press on the River side road and will have excellent rail- road facilities and also be convenient to the new compress which Is being erected on the site of the old Fisk press that burned some time ago.
 This will be a great saving in money as well as time as 1t will enable the three warehouses interested to transfer solid cars of cotton to their private tracks, and also to truck all oi the cotton bought by the local buyers across the street to the compress"

Uniforms of Sanitary Force.

T notice with pleasure said an observant citizen, that the sanitary forces of the city of Montgomery, at least the laborers are dressing with uniformity. The men who sweep and water l observe, now wear helmets and blue overalls. It gives the people an idea of what they are for and the appearance is much heater. I think 1t is decided improvement on even the New York white wings whose snowy garments are easy for the dust and filth. It Is something that a stranger in the city will mark and will note favorably. He will think that a city government that pays attention to these little details will pay attention to the bigger details. It Is a step in the right direction" ...-

The Cablegram, published at Sitka, deals out bunch of wholesale criti- cism of the papers of Southeastern Al aska, because they still continue to fight Brady. The editor of that paper takes the ground that because Brady was not removed by the President, he should now be immune from all at Jacks, DO matter how rottenly incom- potent be may be. It appears to us that were the people of Alaska to give up the struggle to get rid of Brady, that fact in itself would be an admission that they had been in the wrong, and that Brady is the grand old man he pretends to be. The fact of the busi- ness is that the "Grand Old Man" theory has been entirely exploded. The people are now pretty we'll convinced that while no assertions of dishonesty have been made against Brady in the past by the always aggressive press, that is where they missed it.

TTfECOUNCIL

At the last Monday evening meeting of the city council, several matters of seeming importance occupied the at tention of that body.
 It was reported to the council that Gus Usaia, a Finlander, was erecting or was about to erect a building upon a tract of land said to be a part of Fourth street, between A and BstreeSs. The Clerk was instructed to prepare and the Marshal to serve a notice on She said Usula, warning him not to erect such building to obstruct said street.
 The claim of L. H. Pederson for SIP, Hor-rental of ground for Hose House No. I, of the Douglas Fire Department was objected to on the ground that the propery occupied by the M. E. church was held under a deed of gift which provided that the property was to be Nsed exclusively for church purposes, or revert back to the origonal owners. 1t was held, however, that the viola tion of this part of the contract in no way affected the validity of the claim and the amount was allowed.
 An amendment to the Dog Ordinance was passed, under the provisions of which all dogs, upon which the license is not paid may be shot on sight, with out the formality of 48 hours imprison- ment for the unfortunate canines.
 Claims against the city were allowed as follows:
