West End Acts.

The Mayor and Aldermen of West End are preparing to meet the open ing of the trunk sewer with connect ing local system of sewers. They pro pose to have the latter ready for use about as soon as the trunk sewer along Valley creek is declared in working order.
 This action of West End should be a warning to delinquent communities both great and small along the coun- tvs two great trunk condults. The trunk sewers were built to be used, and the law requires each and every community along them to use them. The happy-go5lucky methods of rural districts will not pc permitted after the trunk sewers are completed.
 The community that neglects to build connecting sewers will find itself saddled with a system planned and constructed by the sanitary commits sion, and it may not like either the method or the bill of the commission. It is far better that each community should build it's own local sewer sys- tenn. That is all it has to do, for the trunk sewers stand ready to do all the rest-to solve the other problems. West End sets the pace, and the other communities between Bessemer and Birmingham, between Ensley and East Lake, inclusive, should speedily get ready for the opening of the two great trunk sewers.

From the Mansfield (Ohio) News.
 Again have the heart of radiant, fra grant young maiden and heart of cavalier flaming with love been blended Into one by nuptlal rites. Miss Melle Richey is the maiden and Ollie Dennis is the cavalier, and they quietly went to the Presbyterian parsonage. Monday night. and the Rev. Glenrole Mcqueen performed their rites, and the minister's words that linked their hearts In jeweled chains of connubial love feel like the dews of heaven on their bowed heads. The bride has all the in- stincts of lady and is a connublal prize, richtand rare. She Is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Richey, deceased, family of high social prestige. The groom is a son of Mir. and Mrs. Charles Dennis, and most respected residents. He is most genial, and of unsullied name, and the happy twain's many friends hope that their path, now so radiant with joy may never be darkened with sorrows shadows.
 Another witching beauty's brown eyes will beam through bridal veils here be- fore the dasy rears it's gentle head again, and how beautiful and touching is the wooing and winning of coy modest maid en's heart by cavalier in whose heart loves strange, mad fever burns!

Action of North Carolina.

The readers will recall the fact that suit was brought against the state of North Carolina by the state of South Dakota to recover principle and inter- est on s20,O0O of repudiated bonds. Those bonds related to particular railroad in North Carolina, now owned by the state.
 North Carolina has not only paid the judgment, but it has settled in full All other bonds of the particular class covered by the South Dakota suit. The holders of such bonds are to receive 25 per cent and interest in full pay ment of their claims.
 The action of South Dakota was an unfriendly one by one state against a sister state, and South Dakota is be- coming ashamed of it's action in be- half of a lot of brokers in Wall street The senators of that state have stated that the act authorizing the bringing of the suit against North Carolina will be repealed The entire proceeding was devised and instigated by Schaefer & Bros, a firm of brokers in Wall street

Treble clef Club.

"One of the most beautiful numoers- perhaps the most beautiful chorus work on the Treble Clef club programme Tues day was Mrs. Beach's Rose of Avon town, !" said a well-known music loVef' Ut was familiar to the audience, the Treble Clef club having sung 1t at the conservatory under MT. Gnckenberger' and the women of the festival chorus having sung it with the Thomas orcnes- tra under MT. Guckenberger at the last music festival But 1t is such fine com position that no one grows tired Of H.
 ''The Treble Clef club sang 1t with more expression than ever Tuesday afternoon. The accompaniment may seem simple but it is anything but simple. Mrs. Beacn is a genius in instrumentation and her orchestration for the Rose of Avontown is full of thought and originality I hap pened to be in company with MT Guck- enberger and MT. Kramer, concertmeister of the Chicago orchestra, after the festival performance. MT. Kramer congratulated MT. Guckenberger on the Rose of Avon town performance. It went remarkably we'll said the eoncertmeister, consider ing the fact that you had only one re- hearsal with the orchestra. Now, if MT. Thomas had been giving the Rose or Avontown' he would have rehearsed the orchestra on that accompaniment four days in succession. In that way he would have brought out every shade of beauty. You see that orchestra is deep and sub- subtle, and one rehearsal is not sufficient
 Speaking of the Treble Clef clubs de- ljghtful entertainment, was glad to find so many representative musicians and voice teachers present It augurs well for musical culture here to find a friendly spirit among rival teachers"

BILLS IN TROUBLE.

From the Irrigator. I've got letter, parson, from my son
 away out West, An my of heart is heavy anvil in
 my breast To thing the boy whose futur' had once
 so proudly planned Should wander from the path O right an
 come to such an end I tol' him when he left us, only three
 short years ago, He'd find himself a plowin' in mighty
 crooked row; He'd miss his fathers counsels and his
 mothers prayers, too; But he said the farm was hateful, an he
 guessed he'd have to go. I know thas big temptation for young
 ster in the West, But I believe our Billy had the courage
 to resist. An when he left I warned him of the
 ever waitin' snares That lie like hidden sarpints in iifes
 pathway everywheres; But Bill he promised faithful to be keer-
 full an allowed He'd build up a reputation that'd make
 us mighty proud, But it seems as how my counsel sort O
 faded from his mind, An now he's got in trouble of the very
 wostest kind, His letters come so seldom that some-
 how sort O knowed That Billy was a-trampin on a mighty
 rocky road But never once imagined he would bow
 my head in shame An in the dustd waller his ol daddy's
 honored name, He writes from out in Denver an the
 storys mighty short; jess can't tell his mother-It'il crush her
 poor or heart, An so I reckoned, parson. you might
 break the news to her Bills in the Legislatur', but he doesn't
 say what furi

Tenacious Memories.

'''rhe story about the memory of As- sistant General Superintendent Richey, which appeared in the lobby column, re- minds me of another railroad man who has wonderful memory" said Cin- cinnati man.
 "C E. schaff, general manager of the Big Four has a memory that is mar vel to his railroad associates. In the days when he was a brakeman his abili- t. to remember figures. names and dates was a source of wonder to his fellow workmen.
 "As general manager of a large sys- tenn, it is necessary for MT. Schaff to travel extensively over the road. During his various inspection trips he consults with the officials of the various divisions. One will tell him of difficulty with a far mer and another with trouble with some drainage at given point. All these things make an impression on MT. Schaff. When he travels over the section of the road again, If 1t is year afterward, he says: How are you end Farmer Smith getting along now, or this is that troublesome and expensive piece or dra1nagef
 "At his office MT. Schaff can recall facts from papers filed in his depart ment for years. It is said he can state the time of arrival and departure of more trains off hand than any other man in the railroad business. His capac- ity for retaining events anI names in his memory has been a great aid to him.
 Tn these characteristics he bears a marked resemblance to w. H. Newman, w. c. Brown and Capt. G. J. Grammer, the big trio of the Vanderbilt lines. Like them he worked himself up from the ranks step by step, ana like them he is devoid of frills and absolutely democratic In his ways. Those who knew him when he started at the foot of the ladder say that he is the same schaff today as he was them.

The cankers of a calm world.
 -f King Henry w.
National Extravagance.

The first billion-dollar Congress sur prised and shocked the country, but tLat sort of thing is now ancient his. tory, for all of our Congresses now-a- days are in the billoin-and-a-half class.
 The appropriations of the Fifty Eighth Congress foot up $I599,651,- 28199. It is always well to be exact in such matters, and the odd 99 cents is supposed to show how careful the last Congress- was in making appro- priations. That Congress was in fact more extravagant than any preceding Congress, the Fifty-seventh alore ae- cepted It appropriated more money tLan did the Congress that provided for the expenses of the war with Spain.
 It is claimed, however, that there were extenuating circumstances, for example the Panama canal, the need of big navy, and the growth of the country. At any rate the country has become accustomed te enormous ap- propriations, and they are more likely to be increased than decreased here after.
 When Congress meets in extra ses- sion in October it may become neces- sary to meet an excess of expenditures over receipts. But this is, however, unsettled. There may be no deficit. Some of the severest critics of recent appropriations believe the income will equal the outgo, anl some are so san guine as to predict an excess of funds at the end of the next fiscal year.

I'VE ARE FROM PORT ARTHuRlv
From the Louisville Courier-Journal. 'We are from Port Arthur

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 ',We are from Port Arthur"
 This is said to be the battle cry of some of the Japanese forces during the terrible clash and carnage around Mukden.
 There is something grim and ominous in the sound of the words. The men who shout them as they move against the hosts of Kuropatkin had fought the bitter fight around the hills and fortresses of the city. They had seen their comrades fall by the thousands, they had beheld rivulets of blood trickling trough their trenches, they had spent sleepless nights and faced unknown perils. For months they had toiled and striven, sending their shells and bullets hissing snd roaring, into the lines of the Russians. Inch by inch they had crept forward despite the obstinate resistance of the enemy It was a living hell that they endured. It was a glorious moment for them when they saw the Russian emblem go down from the ramparts and their own flag rise victoriously in the others place.
 So there is a meaning to the cry, We are from Port Arthur" There is a thrill in the very thought of the Japanese vet erans rushing madly forward, shouting the slogan and breathing death and de- fiance to the troops of the Czar. The Russians, knowing the fate of Port Ar thur, surely must feel the meaning of that cry if by chance it reaches their ears above the din and rumble of battle.

Five fulfilled Senatorial Seats.

A close vote is expected on the Santo Domingo protocol in the Sen- ate, and the republicans are five short of their full strength in that body. Senator Burton is awaiting a new tria, in Kansas, and Senator Mitchell of Oregon has an indictment hanging over him. Under the unwritten law of the Senate these men cannot sit in the Senate, much less vote. Expulsion is withheld until their guilt is indi. cially established.
 There are three other stctes 1epre. sented in part only-WiscJnsin Oela- ware and Missouri, all possessing re- publican legislatures. The junior Sen ator of Wisconsin cannot attend the sessions of the Senate, because he has refractory legislature and busy lobby 10 contend with. He is trying to pass primary law and a railroad regula- tion bill, and he has no time in which to study the affairs of Santo Domingo.
 In Delaware and Missouri the re- publicans are deadlocked. They have nominated Addicks in the one state, and Niedringhaus in the otuor, and grave charges have been brought aginst each nominee. Neither can command the solid support of his Iarty. Both are practically defeated, and yet if the two legislatures ad- journ without electing senators the governors of the two states cannot act. The two vacancies must stand until new legislatures are selected and act. So runs the construction of the law in such cases at present.
 All five of the missing senators are credited to the republicans, and the fact that they are not in their seats may defeat the Santo Domingo prop osition.

NOTES OF SOUTHERN JOURNEY

From the New York World.
 Paint is a sure sign of prosperity The number of painted houses in ,s.e South has trebled in four years.
 The houses in the Carolinas are built without cellars, but raised on piers, leav- ing all open underneath. It requires nice judgment to get the piers of proper height so the razor-tack hogs can scratch them- selves on the floor beams
 J. c. Pillard combines lhe congenial duties of blacksmith, wheelright and un- dertaker at Lacross, Va.
 More and prettier girls come down to see the cars come into Henderson, N. C.. than any other station.
 Some country doctors in the South drive right smart-looking mule teams on their rounds.
 It is just about forty years since the Northern soldiers quit carrying away the Virginia mud on their boots. There's a heap of it left.
 More people went from the South than from the North to see Roosevelt inaugur- ated. They like a show.
 Sections of the asn-tree limbs from George washington's Mount Vernon es- tate, about the size of a polceman's club, but with the bark on, were sold in Wash ington curio shops during the inaugura- tion period as samples of "Teddys Big Stick

doubtless lead to all sorts of sharp practices on the part of brokers rep resenting other classes of repudiated bonds, but it is scarcely probable that any repudiated bonds will be present. ed hereafter in a manner that renders payment practically compulsory. What ever payments are made will be vol untary, based on the merits of the bonds presented. Nearly all of the bonds in the south were and are utterly devoid of merit.

THE WORLDS TWO BIG MEN.
the London Spectator

From the London Spectator.
 There is one feature of the present as- pect of the world which Is most unusual and that is the contrast between the mag nitude of events occurring all around us and the smallness or rather second rate ness of the men supposed to guide them. From the west to the east, from the north to the south, we are witnessing the birth of new states or the clattering down. of old ones, wars on a scale beyond prece- dent. new groupings of ancient states, contests between classes which shake all ancient order to pieces and developments of ideas such as often precede and some times cause shattering convulsions.
 But what of the men who should be great to deal with this crushing multi tude of events? There Is not one among them who belongs past all question to that small number of mankind who in history have really guided events or who may be expected by patient observers to found as we'll as to contend. Two among them, no doubt. are big men in their way. but both Emperor William and President Roosevelt are hampered by disparity be- tween their objects and their means, which as yet appears incurable. They are like men swimming in sea too thick with brine to allow them ever to move at speed The phenomena may all change and that pretty quickly. but for the pres ent the great are to a noticeable degree smaller than the subjects with which they have to deal.
