dirt thrown In to smother the flames.
The explosion attracted a number Of

Our Public Schools.

This city is full of educators attend ing the twenty-f1fth annual session of the Alabama Educational association. They will separate today after a busy session begun on Thursday. The as- sociation met in the assembly room of the new high school building, thus having before them evidence of the growth of public education in Bir- mingham.
 Every condition of public education in Alabama was discussed but Presi. dent Thaeh voiced the general senti- ment of the delegates when he said 'the educational outlook in Alabama is the prophetic breaking of the morn over the eastern hills, rather than the full light of the day. All feel that a good beginning has been made-a good foundation laid All feel that the state aid afforded by the constitution of 1901 is needed because it compels the richer to help the poorer, and no one desires a change in that respect.
 But no one desires to see the Ala bama school system chained and con fined to the state fund. Let that fund serve as foundation and on that foundation let there be reared as the resources of localities increase schools that possess an unlimited power of local taxation. In this way better school houses will be built, high schools opened, the whole eliminating in compulsory education and break ing down at last of the states high percentage of illiteracy.
 These sentiments found free ex- pression In the association, and in the long run they will be needed in the legislature and by the electorate. The annual meetings of the state educators become a necessary factor in the de- yelopment of our educational system, and the current session sounded no uncertain note.

Calumny will scar virtue itself
 Winters Tale.
Cotton lies.

The cotton tie market of this season Is practically defined The price is S5 cents a bundle, and the supply is pret- ty nearly manufactured and stored in the south.
 The consumption this year is put at 1,75O,00O bundles, of which the steel trust will furnish 100000. The weight of this seasons ties will be just about S5,OOO tons.
 It will be strange indeed if the new Gates-Topping movement does not cut into the monopoly of the steel corpo- ration. A great deal of transportation could be saved to the farmers If ties were made in Birmingham, the only city that Is central in the cotton belt. The material is here, and so is the opportunity and the market, and the lack of a cotton tie mill is reflection upon Birmingham and its resources There is no more reason why cotton ties should be made in Pittsburg than there is that raw cotton should be largely spun in Lancashire. The truth is, we have not begun to fill the home field, and that is what we should do first.

CareIessness in Pittsburu.

Pittsburg had In the first three months of the year 1912 cases of ty- phoid fever. and the disease is increas. ing in April at fearful rate. Two hundred new cases arise in a day. The disease is epidemic, and Pittsburg is sorely distressed.
 One great trouble Is the carelessness that familiarity breeds. Typhoid is a much worse disease than yellow fever. and yet no one fears the former, while everybody fears the latter. The one is resisted tooth and nail while the other is not systematically resist ed at all.
 Scientists say every stream-the en- tire water supply of the country--is now infested with typhoid germs, q result of general carelessness and a large population Today Pittsburg drinks unfltered water. Filtration may not take out all typhoid germs, but 1t surely reduces the number to an endurable minimum. What right has Pittsburg to go on drinking un- filtered water? It is a rich city. There is but one ion-carelessness. Carelessness in Pittsburg will prob ably lead to 5000 cases of typhoid and a thousand deaths. The city Is rich and intelligent. The dangers of drink Ing uniltered water are we'll under stood there, and yet the city goes on drinking water that should be filtered or boiled, or both It is but another instance of American carelessness and it is but another instance of the unnecessary waste of life, also Amer. lcan. It is not bit Japanese or Ger man. It is essentially American.

THE UNDERWOOD BILL

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The Age-Herald's report of the meet ing of the bar of Jefferson county says, 'The Northern district is composed of three divisions with courts at Birming- ham, Anniston and Huntsville. The statute does not provide for holding court in any of these divisions for any specific length of time. and the Underwood bill based on the fact that 65 per cent of the business of the district originates in Jefferson county, seeks to have the court in session here six months in the year" We thought court was held at Tusca- loosa in the Western division, created some time agoi. This wipes out the Tusca- loosa court even before the Underwood bill goes into effect.

HER FAULT, SAYS CARNEGIE.
Warded Of Kisses as Soon as He
 Could Put Up Guard.

Pittsburg g,-Andrew Carnegie's wrath at the kissing story sent out by Atlanta correspondents Is great and he wants 1t denied. He has had friend write to Pttsburg telling how it happened. He planes the kissing all on Mrs. J. H. Eiehborg. The woman next to her in line followed her example, and then MT, Car negies got his guard up and prepared to run if necessary to save himself from further oscnlatory greetings. The letter to the Pittsburg friend is as follows,
 Mir Carnegie was holding a reception in the Carnegie library at Atlanta and a great crowd was filing past him. shak- Ing hands and offering their felcitatons At a certain stage of the reception a we'll dressed woman stopped and after exchanging some bantering compliments put her hands on the astonished laird,s shoulders and kissed him and this act was rapidly followed by the next woman in line who seemed to be her friend
 MT. Carnegie blushed and laughed and then raising his hands in good natured but firm protest, instantly checked any further attempts at osculation which might have been made by others. The sen sent out from Atlanta are wholly untrue. and no one has been more disguested by the story than MT. Carnegie.

Theatre in Holy Week.

"I was surprised that Jerome did not attract fairly good audience at the Jefferson theatre Thursday night said an amusement goer. "Catholies and Epis- copalians may not keep Lent as strictly now as in other days. but Holy week is still well observed. Of the thousands of Episcopalians and Catholics in Brmng- ham at least 100 of them might have turned out to hear Jerome had that dis tinguished entertainer come at any other time. But leaving out of the calculation those who keep Holy week, am at loss to know what became of the Methodists, Baptists. Presbyterians and non-church people. Had the attraction Thursday night been musical comedy. the result might have been different"

Long Range Weather Forecasts.

Professor Moore of the national weather bureau formerly considered long-ranget weather prophecies mere delusions, but it seems he has changed his mind, for he proposes to issue forecasts covering an entire month.
 The basis of his monthly forecasts has not been made known. The chances are, however, that they will be indefinite Great weather move nents will be outlined, and no effort, it is safe to assume, will be made to name far in advance the particular weather of particular day. In gen eral way Professor Moore will per haps be able to announce what at mospheric waves will sweep over the country during an entire month
 But will he be able to present a months schedule that will prove cor rect in, say, 60 per cent of the cases Fifty per cent would not suffice, for then Professor Moore would miss the mark as often as he would hit it. Six ty per cent of correct forecasts would be acceptable, and no doubt Professor Moore Is satisfied he can make that score in long range weather guesses. Otherwise he would not attempt the task.

Peace Conferences in Two Worlds.

In the coming summer two peace conferences will sit. the one at The Hague and the other at Rio. The lat ter will relate, however to the Amer lean republics only, and no one will be admitted to seat in it who is not an American and representative of an American republic. The confer ence at The Hague on the other hand considers the world it's field.
 Both conferences will have at least one subject in common, namely, the extent to which the use of force in the collection of contractual debts is ad- missable. Secretary Root and the rep resentatives of the South American republics agreed to include this ques- ton in the list to be considered at Rio, and the Russian programme for use in the congress in the Netherlands also has it.
 This question does not concern alone the republics to the south of us, for Turkey, and possibly Morocco, and perhaps China, are in the contractual boat. but it is chiefly aimed at the South American republics, and the West Indies. It would be well, there fore. if the conference at Rio Janeiro could first sit, so that it's full weight and influence could be felt at The

 q refer to Mique Finn of the Nashville team. I happened to be sitting next him for the past two games and he was al- ways sore with the umpire. It was not the fault of the judge of the game that Nashville lost. It was purely and simply that Birmingham outclassed the visitors and therefore Finn had no cause to com plain of the decisions"

SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
 A FAMOUS CIRCUS MAN

he was connected with circus life per- manently.
 | In 1872 J. E. Cooper dissolved the old partnership and formed the new Cooper & | Bailey circus, making James A. Bailey a
 half owner with him. They began to
 branch out on bigger scale and soon
 were looked upon as possible rivals of
 P. T. Barnum, then regarded as the nestor
 of circus business. Bailey had been plan
 ming new schemes for all these years, and
 In 1876 induced his partner to book tour of Australia. This was enormously sue- cessful, and they went to New Zealand
 and wound up in South America. The latter part of the tour was not a success, but the show came back to Amer ica after a long absence with all the pres l tige that goes with a foreign tour. The return in 1879 brought out greater show
 as the Cooper & Bailey outfit was consoli-
 dated with another circus which had been l caught in the hard times. They started out to fight Barnum, and by doing so l Bailey came to another crisis in his life. About this time one of the female ele- plants gave birth to the first baby ele- phant ever born in captivity in this coun- | try. It proved enormous advertise menI. Bailey was quick to see this, and | pushed it for all he was worth. He I booked route in the Barnum territory, and planned for battle, while shrewd cir- | GUS men watched the progress, and pre- dieted his annihilation. Barnum, some 1 what nettled by the prominence of the l baby elephant, wired Bailey an offer of
 nearly $100,O0o for it, He also sent an agent to see the ambitious young show man and tell him to call upon him. Bailey recognized at a glance that this
 offer showed Barnum's hand. He sent | word back that If Mr. Barnum wanted to | see him he hefknew-where to find him. He
 also had great Autograph reproduction Of the .Barnum telegram printed, and the walls flashed it's purport forth under the l caption:
 l What Barnum Thinks of the Baby | Elephant"
 1 This clever move drove Barnum out of l his own field, andashe headed westward, | leaving the Cooper & Bailey show in com l plete control of the eastern situation. It | was a signal defeat. Barnum later made overtures to Bailey, and he became the partner of the king of circus men of that | day.
 l The rest Is well known. Gradually Bailey acquired complete control of the greatest show on earth" His ideas were elaborated gradually hut surely until he brought the circus to it's present wonder | full state. He planned the several tours of Europe, which were sensations in their success and accomplishments. He also took over a controlling interest in the l Forepaugh- show and the Buffalo Bill Wild West, being in fact the greatest snowman that America has ever known.

JOEL AND ANDY.
Great Day for lronmaster When He
 Met His "Uncie Remus."

From the New York Sun.
 The meeting between MT. Andrew. Car negie and Joel Chandler Harris may have embarrassed the author, but the iron master was not Mustered bit He was never more at his ease. Throwing his arms around the shrinking form of "Un- ole Remus" he pressed him to his bosom held him off at arms length and said: Have the collards bloomed yet, and are the snapping beans sprouting? And how is Old SIS cow?'
 A report of the historic affair says that the author was at first reteent.' No wonder. Joel Chandler Harris was over come as hy a summer cloud, and reason tottered. To be embraced on his own garden walk by the great library founder and champion of phonetic spelling-not dialect. mark you,-was glory enough. But to be asked how Old SIS COW was that was to unman the author and tap the fount of tears. Such familiarity with d modest writer's works was not to be expected on the part of the Monte Cristo of Pittsburg and Auld Reekie. the man who had oornered the philanthropy of a world.
 .ITncle. Remus'' might well be nervous about the designs of his visitor, tod. Sup nose he had come to reduce "Brer Rabbit to phonetic dialect, or to present the Har- ris family with block of Steel stock.
 But mo-, it was not as bad as that, An- drew Carnegie had only come to pro- nounce him a genius, and to tell him that he had filled the world with sunshine. Lord Lord, he had heard that before so many times and from so many great men! Hes just like common folks said the grateful author when the ordeal was oyer It. was an experience for Uncle Remus' and a great day for the Laird. And when the young women of Atlanta at the laying of the library cornerstone sang, Andy, Oh, Andy. You Dandy, You Dandy,' the great mans cup of happiness was full.

Real estate Firms.

"There are two hundred real estate firms in Birmingham said one of the prominent agents. While many of the firms have been established for years, not a few have come here recently There are scores of the newer real estate agents that I do not know by sight. Birmingham Is naturally an attractive field but doubt if all the concerns engaged in the real estate business make it pay. Trading would have to be much more active than 1t is now in order for division among two hundred to be satisfactory to all
 'while real estate prices are very firm the market is not az active as hope to find it later on."
