an extensive farm near Montgomery

an extensive farm near Montgomery and Is rapidly turning that into a model horse and cattle farm.
 A most inspiring and educatfve ad- dress was delivered by w. J. spill man, the chief of the department or Forage Plants and Grasses in the Unl- ted States Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. c. Mir. Spillman in sists that success on the farm cannot be achieved merely by hard work, put that 1t requires thought, planning, systematized effort, as much as does any other business. A man who makes $30 an acre profit on the farm or zoo acres must have a better education and
 a wider and more accurate knowledge
 of a greater number of subjects than
 the successful head of a railway sys-
 tenn. The theme of his discourse was
 the necessity and profit of diversified
 farming, and he enforces this message
 with a forceful expression and a viz
 orous manner that carries conviction
 to his hearers. It would be profitable
 to the State if MT, Spillman could
 preach his gospel in every neighbor-
 hood. It will be-remembered that he
 has. in cooperation with the Experi-
 ment Station at Auburn, located three
 experimental farms in Alabama, one near Talladega, one near Uniontown' and the other near Huntsville. for the
 purpose of making practical and ex-
 tended tests of the commercial profit
 of diversified farming in Alabama. To
 live at home Is the first maxim of good farmer, he says. and he proposes to show that cattle, poultry, vegetables and fruits can be grown with profit, while cotton and corn are raised pure- ly as a surplus and ready money crop. His address was received with great applause by the large audience of farmers present. The school continues through Monday and Tuesday and the interest is unabated
 The following program was render ed today:
 8 to g, simple operations on live stock, Dr. c. A. Cary; to 10. and 1O to II, practical clinics, by Dr. C. A Cary and l. S. McAdory; II to l2. for age plants, Prof H. Benton; to 3 | forestry, A G.

Novel Result of Service Or
der of the President.
MILL|ONAIRES INCLUDED
Pension Commissioner Sees No OBJ
jections to Paying Out Money in
Such Cases-BeIieves it Will
Revert to Charity.

A Washington .pecial says: Pen.
sions for n:llicnaires, is one Of the
new developments under the execu-
tive order of last year.
According to Commission of Pen
sions Warner, the application of
millionaire for a pension has been
recently favorably passed upon. He
did not want the psnion. according to
the commissioner, on account Of the
money it carried with i, but simply
to perfect his record of honorable
service IN the civil war.
This view Of the disability order Is
being taken by many well-to-do retcr-
ans who would not otherwise apply for
pensions. The fact that they are ELI
gible and performed the service stip-
ulated in behalf of the government
and that the government is to reccg-
nize this service by pension and the
accompanying records Of the same
make the service pension a desirable
addition to the family records.
The commissioner does not look up
on this class of pensions as an I'M
desirable burden for the government
to bear. He takes the view that the
funds distributed is used by the ap-
plicant to relieve want. In the case
of the millionaire pensioner, he has
knowledge that the recipient has just
made a bequest of hundred thousand
dollars for benevolent purposes.

to all official documents to legaliZe and
authenticate them, Notwithstanding
the fact that in all such documents the
name Of the island is spelled "Porto
Rico," in conformity with the laws of
the United States.
Almost simultaneously With this ac-

ernment of the Philippines was get

On July 8, 1905, the Philippine Gov

papers. It is a clear-cut and pleasing
device, as appears in the accompany

NEW PHILIPPINE SEAL.
The Arinorial Device Adopted by
the Insular Government.

Several years ago, writes Washing
ton correspondent, French E. Chad
wick discovered that the great seal OF
the United States had been heraldical-
ly faulty for hundred years, and
forthwith the design was corrected by
experts and new die was cut for the
State Department. This led to a study
OF the devices used by the other Fed
eral Departments, and. new designs
were soon made for the Army and
Navy and for the customs service OF
the Treasury. Even the flag OF the
President had to be altered. The ex-
perts who were consulted in these
cases about the same time devised
a new coat-of-arms for Porto Rico and
a new seal, which gave some indica-:
ton that the island had passed from
Spanish sovereignty to that of the
United States. In the last few months,
however, Porto Rico has abandoned

CHILDREN Are MANGlE0
In Wreck o. Bank Building by Gas
Explosion - Besides the Killed,
Thirteen Persons Were Hurt.

a special from IshDeming, M!ca.'
says three children are dead and
thirteen are injured, one fatally, as
the result of an explosion there Sun
day which destroyed the Miners Ma
tional bank.
The dead: Steven Goodman, aged
u years; Alice McGee, aged ~
years; Edward McGrath. aged Il
years. James F. Mullen was fatally
injured.
A gas leakage in the basement OF
the bank building was primarily re-
sponsible tor the explosion and loss
of life. Gas was detected coming
from the building, and two workmen
went in the basement about . o'clock
Sunday morning with lighted candles
to investigate. The flames evidently
ienited the gas in the basement, for
a tremendous explosion followed.
The two workmen were blown
through basement window and
landed uninjured in an open box car
standing on a nearby track. The build
ing was completely wrecked. The
three children were passing the build
ing on their way home from church,
and were caught in the falling debris.
All the teams in the city were sum-
moned to the scene and the work OF
moving the huge piles OF debris ana
extricating those under them was
rushed.
The explosion broke windows In
many stores in the business district
and scattered the papers and docu-
ments of the bank for blocks around.
