FIFTH PEOPLE IN SCHOOL.
Widespread Desire for Education
Throughout the Country Shown by
Annual Government Report.

Washington statement by the
commissioner of education, discussing
matters pertaining to his Office for the
fiscal year 1905. shows that the number
of pupils enrolled in the common
schools during that period was 1926
03S, or 20 per cent. of the entire popu-
lation as estimated by the census bu-
reau. The actual average number OF
days attended by each pupil enrolled
reached 102 days. The commissioner
declares that the number of pupils en-
rolled shows how far the school sys-
tenn reaches the people. Besides those
enrolled in public elementary and sec
ondary schools. there were 11S,029 stu
dents in colleges. 1.370244 in private
elementary and secondary schools. and
152, ,479 in normal and other profession
al schools and manual training schools
IT, ,896S90 pupils in the aggregate.
The commissioner says there were pu-
pills enrolled in special institutions
more or less educational in their char
acter and more or less of practical
business character to the number OF
693, ,101, making a grand total Of 1S-
$50, ,901.

MILLIONS OF LIVE STOCK.
increase OF Spanish Animals I'm
ported Into America Is
Amazing.

The increase OF horses, cattle and
other domestic animals imported by
the spaniards to the new world was
marvellous The Gaceta de Mexico for
October. 1928, reports that in the
month around the city OF Puebla alone
there had been sold 10000 mules at
ten collars head, and 10000 horses
at IS. 20 and "a reals (s4.50 to s6)
each.
In 1742, when Admiral Vernon
threatened the Mexican coast. one
hacendado, Don Fernando de la
Campo, Conde San Mateo de Val
paraiso. offered 1000 saddle horses for
the defense Of Vera Cruz and prom
ised $4,000 more, If needed. The fig
ures of this increase astonished the
most experienced travellers, and some
Of the sharpest polemics in early
American history we're leveled by ex-
perts against European armchair his
torians who fancied that the horse,
OK and other beasts had "deteriorated
in America. The world certainly had
never before seen any such multiple
cation.
What 1t amounted 70 is indicated by
the fact that vessels and whole fleets
sailed for Spain laden exclusively with
the hides Of cattle-already in 1887
Accosta noted the expectation Of 109,-
794 hides from San Domingo and Mex
leo alone in one fiota. The prices TO
which these animals fell are even
more significant If compared with
prices that ruled at the time of the
conquest. In 1880 good work oxen
could be bought in the City of Mex
leo at ten dollars the yoke and in
Guadalajara for six dollars. In Nueva
Galicia good horse could be had for
two dollars and mule for three dol
lars, and it was not uncommon to buy
manada of "a mares with their stall
lion for $25. In Chilli at the same
time one could get good trotter for
one dollar.
After this it seems almost gratu-
itous to remark that many Mexican
gentlemen owned $4,000 head Of cat
tie and horses apiece, and some far
more. or to recall the fact that one
Mexican cavalier, Juan Orduna, about
1850, had on his hacienda in one year
crop" OF $4,000 calves.

Feat Of Greek Scholar.

1t may safely be said that no feat Of
translation in any age has never
equaled that achieved by Prof. Jebb
in rendering Browning's "Abt VogIer''
into Greek verse. This fine soliloquy
of the musician is less obscure, no
doubt, than many other Of its authors
productions, but it abounds in imag-
cry and in turns Of thought which even
an Englishman finds it not very easy
to follow and of which he could hard
ly have conceived it possible that any
Greek equivalents should exist. Yet
they did exist, for Jebb found them
though it may be doubted whether any
other Greek scholar living would have
been equally successful in his search.

were consigned to these bankers, who
sold them at prices OF the day, but all
at a fair profit, and who now hold the
pounds sterling or the American gold
coin paid for them in London or in
New York, as the case may be.
The entire amount Of $1.486,750 in
American gold received by the COM

the disposition Of Manuel Fernandez
Leal as director OF the mint. to be re-
minted and transformed into Mexican
S. and $40 gold coins in conformity

will leave the balance of the gold r-c

AS the use Of bank checks in bust
ness in this republic is constantly in
creasing, it is only question OF a
few years when the percentage oil
checks used here will be about the same
as that Of the United States.
The use of the checks in business
transactions in Mexico is a compare
lively recent feature Of the CONNER
cial life Of the country Ten years age
it was for only very large transactions
that checks were employed here, and
even then only rarely. The use OF
checks has been caused principally by
the establishment OF American banks
in some OF the cities throughout the
country.

BURRUS LECTURED ON
 THE REVOLUTION OF 'o1
Denied the Statement That the Civil War Was a Rebellion-SeIect
 Musical Programme Rendered.

The intellectual culture committee of the l. 0. B. B. held the first of its series of entertainments last night at it's hall On First avenue
 President A. Leo Oberdorfer introduced the speaker of the evening, Prof. II. C. Burrus with d few happy and c,mpll- mentary remarks.
 Prof Burrus spoke upon the subject, "The Revolution of 61,' in the course of which he denied the statement that the civil war was a rebellion of the southern states. The speaker said 1t was d revo- lution and gave many reasons in sup port of his argument, all of which were listened to with marked attention.
 MT. Frank Deedmeyer followed Pro- lessor Burrus. He gave an elaborate hls- tory of human slavery tracing i; from Biblical time, and how the predilections of Justice Fancy had influenced him in the Dred Scott case. He said the cunst.- tuition was not rigid, was not the writ ten, but was the judicial expression of crystalized public opinion. He illustrated this point by the Philippine cases. the Greenback decision, and other historical facts
 The music of the occasion was furnished by Mrs Lowlnsohn and Miss Hynenoerg.

pr. Moore Tells Young Men of Their Opportunities in Bir-

The Rev. Dr. Allen k. Moore addressed a body of young men in the rooms of the Young Mems Christian association Sunday afternoon on Opportunity"
 In opening he called attention to t1e prophecy of George w. Gates that Blr- mingham will have a population ot l,o0o.- 900, al the end of twenty years, which the speaker said would call for five Young Mems Christian association buildings, and would be enough 10 keep the young llen busy with a great religious problem. He said that with the growth of sucn city the saloons and the theatres conld not be kept from growing in number. but that it would be an immense opportunity for the Christian to do good.
 In the remainder of his lecture pr. Moore devided his subject Into four heads. describing Christ as Gods opportunity. the Christian as Chrst's opportunity. the church service as the Christians oppor- tunity. and the gospel as the sinners op- portunlly. His hearers followed him close ly throughout the discourse and many 1f his ideas were said to have been original as well as helpful and uplifting.

TEMPORARY LINE
 TO NEW STATION
BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER COMPANY PREPARING TO FURNISH STREET CAR SERV- ICE AT UNION DEPOT.

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will construct track to the new union passenger station with in the next thirty days in order to handle the business there when the railroads move to that place on the first of the year.
 The track will be built on Second ave- rue from Twenty-fourth street to Twen- ty-sixth street and up Twenty-sixth street to Fifth avenue, where the main entrance of the new station will be located. The track on Second avenue will be an ex- tension of the present East Lake lines, which turn at Twenty-fourth street and run down to First avenue.
 The cars to and from the new station will run down as far as Eighteenth street make loop around one of the blocks and back up Second avenue to the station.
 The service. according to General Man ager J. A. Emery. will be ample for all demands A car will be run every few minutes from the station to the business portion of the city, where transfers will be given to all lines in the city.
 This will be only temporary arrange ment until the new station is completed. which will be within the next twelve months At present the Birmingham Ter minal company is constructing tempor- ary station to serve the demands until the new station can be completed.
 By the time that the new station is completed the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company will have network of car lines surrounding the sta tion, and affording ample service to all parts of the city. The plans for these lines nave not been completed yet, but the engineers of the company are work ing on them. The company has not decid- ed vet exactly what it will do in regard to the permanent service.

CAR SERVICE SHOWS
 LITTLE IMPROVEMENT

The car situation in the Birmingham district is but little better than it has been for some weeks past. The arrival of some coal cars on the various rail- roads has tended to help the situation slightly, and additional motive power is serving the same purpose in one or two instances, but very little.
 The trip to Birmingham of C. H. Ack- ert, fourth vice president and general manager of the Southern, and J. N Scale, master of transportation, had the effect of shaking loose few coal cars which have been made available for use.
 The Southern is constantly receiving new freight equipment, especially coal cars, and the road is to get more motive power soon. When the engines arrive and the machinery gets in better shape the situation on that road is expected to in- prove materially.
 On the Alabama Great Southern the situation is very bad. The company is using all its available cars for company coal, and then, too, the supply of cars

WiH B0ggan Succeed
 License Inspector GambiH

The tip was given yesterday in munich pal circles that J. J. Boggan is slated to succeed A A. Gambill as license col- lector of the city.
 One member of the City Council stated yesterday afternoon that Boggan would be elected by the board, in spite of the fact that he has written Mayor Ward that he was not a candidate.
 This interesting matter is, of course. discussed in an unofficial manner, and neither MT. Boggan, Mayor Ward, nor anyone else actively connected has said anything about the affair. The election will occur Wednesday night, and it is quite probable that none of the present city officials with the exception of MT. Gambill will have opposition.
