FIRST In AMERICA.
ANNAMITE WOMAN RECENTLY
LANDED IN NEW YORK.
Nurse Girl in Family of Officer Com
handing French Native Troops
in Cochin China Excited
Much Interest.

Whether an Annamite is a Chinese
Is the puzzle that the Chinese inspec-
tors were asked to crack when MAJ.
Edouard Sauvalle, of the Garde lnde-
genes, Cochin China, arrived here
with his American wife, three chill
dren and a decided novelty in the
nurse girl line, says the New YORK
Herald. The maid, who trailed after
the Sauvalles, appeared to the casual
onlooker like a Chinese, and was SO
taken by the immigration inspectors
who passed upon the credentials OF
Maj. Sauvalle and his family But
Maj. Sauvalle declared that the maid
was no Chinese, but an Annamlte-
the very first of her race ever to set
foot in America--and as proof OF this
he displayed the warrant of the Amer
lean consul at AMMAN, who SAID that
the Sauvalle maid was French sub
ject in AMMAN.
The girls name is as picturesque as
her appearance 1t is Ha The Than,
and the first of her three names is
the one by which she is called by
her mistress. Ha is the wife OF one
of the native soldiers in Maj. Sau'
valle's regiment in Cochin emma.
Every time some one laughed loudly
on the way over from the far east the
little oriental fastened to answer 10
the "ha, hal"
One would think that Ha was a
man instead of demure little woman,
very coy and tremendously shy. she
speaks nothing but patois of French
and Chinese, in which Maj Sauvalle,
his wife and children are also well
versed, and she is as devotedly at
tached to the youngsters as they are
to their Annamite nurse.
After SO hours of elaboration the
Chinese inspectors, to whom the case
of the AMMAN maid was presented,
decided that she was eligible to enter
the country So Ha The Than &C
companied M. and Nine. Sauvalle to
their American home in South Orange,
where the Savalles are to live for the
next five months Nine. Sauvalle is
a native of New Jersey, and it was to
allow her to be with her family every
now and then that Maj. Sauvalle
bought the South Orange home, occu-
plying it whenever he comes to Amer
lea This is the first time that the
family has visited these shores in
three years and Nine. Savalle was
happy when she reached the Oranges.
Maj. Sauvalle said that ever since
the apanese-Russian war the natives
in French Cochin China mostly of the
Chinese race, have been restless and
fretful but that they are still tracta'
BILE, although not nearly so much as
when the Japanese had not yet made
their victory over the Russians COM
plete. To-day, the major said, the
yellow men believe that the yellow
race is invincible. He does not fear
a yellow peril, however.

BASKET BALL BECOMES
 POPULAR IN GADSDEN
Guntersville Man Ships Car of Fine Cattle to Market, Demonstrating
 What Can be Done in Marshall.

Gadsden. october 7.-(Special)- athletic department of the Y. M C. A. is becoming more popular every day. A basket ball team has been organized and a series of games will be played during the fall. Another team will be organized during the week, and as soon as the teams are in good practice a series of eXnlpl- ton games will be played. During the bad weather the past week the rooms have been crowded. and the young men are beginning to realize fully what the association means 10 them.
 Sam Henry. the wel-lnown merchant and farmer of Guntersyille, shipped car of beef cattle through this city to Atlanta yesterday. The cattle were the equal of any western grown cattle ana at- tracted great deal of attentioh' MT Henry makes a specially of growing me cattle for the market and ships seven or eight carloads each season.

 The city court grand jury, which has now been in session three weeks, made an effort to finish it's work and adjourn yes terday, but were unable to do so Con trary to the usual custom, this grand jury has not, so far as known, turned in single indictment 10 the court, and 1t IS said that when they do report sensation will be sprung. This grand jury has been one of the most thorough and business like the county has had in many years.
 Furnace No 1 of the Alabama Consoll- dated Coal and Iron company was shut down yesterday to make some repairs on the Innings which had become very much worn. The fires were only banked and the furnace will resume operations on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, lt is understood that furnace No. of this company will be ready for the torch in NoVemhc' and when this is done this company will have one of the largest out puts of any furnace in the south Mr. J. C. Mil'er of Pittsburg has taken charge of the furnaces during the absence of Mir. Morris Bush who has gone to Europe on rip.
 Ths farmers and public generally are rejoicing over the prospects of fair and clca weather. The many building opera tions in this city were at complete standstill on account of the continued rains and the workmen have lost several thousand dollars as q result. 1Nhe sun shine and wind of yesterday and today dried up the mud and will do much to save the cotton and corn.

DEAD LETTERS ARE
 NOT so PLENTIFUL
WORK OF DEPARTMENT IN URG- ING MORE CARE SEEMS TO CoRDING TO STATISTICS.

Washington. October 7.-(Specal.) )-Of- ficials of the postoffice department arc very much gratified with the results of the educational campaign inaugurated through the newspapers with a view to reducing the number of pieces of mall matter received at the division of dead letters While the business of the divis- ion is naturally increasing. the results of the request submitted through the press that writers place their own addresses in the upper left hand corner of the let ter or package mailed. are greatly facilita- ting the return to writers of undelvered letters, many of which contain valua- bles
 Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw has received a large number of newspaper clippings containing editorials and news items upon the subject calling the attention of the public to the large volume of mail being lost, especially that containing valuable inclosures, and en- phasizing the importance of placing the return address upon all mail matter. The ooncensus of opinion among the news paper writers Is that the daily press IS the best medium of reaching the people in this connection, and all newspapers are urged to take up the matter in their col umns.
 Numerous suggestions also have been received at the department from persons who have read the newspaper articles, many of the schemes being worthy of consideration. and showing the ingenuity of the average American. A local postof- flee employe offers the suggestion that UOrdS of urar rnip0 Gllch aG mail letter without putting your name and address in the upper left hand cor ner of the envelope" be included in the canceling stamps thus appearing on every piece of mail deposited Another sugges- tion is that similar notices be placed on the street letter boxes and at the deposit ing places in postoffices.

CHICAGO FLIES
 TWO GAUDY RAGS Big League Seasons Reach
 Their Ends NEW NATIONAL RECORD
One Hundred and Sixteen Victories in Season Passes All Former Marks. Close Races in the American
 Championship Series.

Chicago, October 7.-The baseball sea- son of both major leagues ended today with games at Chicago. St. Louis and Cincinnati. For the first time since the two big leagues have been organized both championships have come to one city. The Chicago Nationals won first honors in that organization easily. Taking the lead early in June and holding it to the end, il established a new major league record for nlmber of games won. Of the 153 games played by the team 116 were victories, the previous best record in this respect having been held by the New York club in the same league.
 In the American league the Chicago team upset all calculations by winning the pennant The contest was not decided until last week, the New York team re- maining within striking distance of the leaders until October 3, when d skin ming defeat at Philadelphia put them out of the running. An equally hard struggle for second place was not decided until two days later when Chicago defeated Cleveland and took away the Ohio clubs last chance to overhaul New York The fourth and fifth teams, Philadelphia and St Louis, were within hailing distance throughout the season.
 Tuesday the worlds championship series will be begun between the two clubs The first game will be played on the National league grounds. Another inter-league se- ries is scheduled for St. Louis. The con- tests there will start Monday

SISTER CITIES JOIN
 TO ATTEND LECTURES
Success Assured Lyceum Course of Lectures Commencing Mon-
 day, October IS.

The course of lyceum lectures the first of which will be delivered in the audi torium of the High school on Monday night, October 10, is attracting the atten- tion and securing the patronage of the citizens of our adjoining towns and cities as well as the residents of Birmingham
 The promoters of this course of lectures feel proud of the success which promises to attend their labors to provide some thing of an elevating as well as enter taining form of amusement.
 These lectures are designed to meet the requirements of a large number of peo- pie who do not attend the theatre and at the same time, to prove sufficiently at traetive to all who appreciate good story, well and humorously told
 The price of the ticket to the whole course of twelve lectures is only s2, about 1T cents a lecture.
 The seating capacity of the High school auditorium is over 1000. The lighting and ventilation have been specially considered while the accaustics are perfect. All these features, combined with good lec- ture are points relied upon to ensure the success of the enterprise.

upon by some vicious animal or venomous serpent. then we might have reasons for carrying guns; but in this day and time I have yet to see where anything good can result from the practice.
 The argument may be advanced that If you make the punishment too severe the Jury will not convict. If the evidence Is sufficient to show violation of the law. I fail to see how the jury can fail to con yict But granting there is truth in the argument, we must educate our jurors to a realization of the enormity of the crimes resulting from such offenses. Again, the moral effect of stringent law here will have a wonderful result.
 It is the custom of our courts in this section to assess a fine of $50 for this vio- 1ation, which is usually paid. But were the party accused of the crime caused to realize that the fact of his being in pos- session of the means with which the crime was committed, would receive equally a s great punishment as for committing the deed. the horror of his punishment would be doubled.
 I would recommend a law to require every man owning gun Of any charac ter to register same with some county of ficial and on sufficient proof only that he intended to use it in innocent sport or for some other legitimate and specific purpose.
 Let the legislature divest the negro of his implement of war, and you will have gained a great victory toward settling the questions so imminent in the minds of our people at this time. Very truly,
 W. T. McGOWIN.

GAR SERVICE RULE
 TROUBLES ENSLEY
CARS STOP IN MUDDY PLACES, AND THE MoTORMEN REFUSE To DILL UP TO THE STREET CROSSINGS.

Ensley. october 7.-tSpecial)-"Street cars in Ensley," said d prominent cltlzeh' "seem to stop nearly always In the hiuu- dest places. If there is a mud hoie Ill the block. one will surely have to step into fl when he boards or leaves the caf' and dissatisfaction is growing among the citizens against this condition.
 "rhere is no little inconvenience ana connected with q step into six inches of mud. To a woman who IS leaving home for several hours it is mora than Il nuisance They all express them selves as indignant and the men thinN thev are justifiable. Only yesterday thc car stopped just in front of pool oi water. and when a woman who wished 'o hoard asked the conductor to pull up few feet he replied that It was aSalnst tho rules. and she was obliged to wade through.
 "r,nslev Is peculiarly situated in this matter. She has paved the streets recen'iS over which the lines run but the tral- 6c is so heavy, and the streets so mar row that it is impossible to keep the water drained during stormy seasons such as have just passed. Comparatively good crossings exist however, and better ones are to be laid shortly. But as the motormen are instructed to stop on the near side of the street, the white entrance is thrown car length to the rear ana usually in bad place.
 "At the last meeting of the City Coun- cil a resolution was passed requiring the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to instruct the motormen to use their best Judgment and to pull up to the street crossing where it is necessary. As vet the old rules are strictly enforced, but it is hoped that the remedy will be quickly applied
 Saturday night was one of the busiest of the month The steel plant paid it's employees yesterday and the furnaces had Il large pay roll last Tuesday. All tile stores did a rushing trade in spite of politics and municipal campaigns.
 Rev Dr. Crawford, rector of the St. Johns Episcopal church, delivered an in teresting sermon today on Self Exalta- tion-Self Abasement." There was a large crowd in attendance. both at the morning and evening services.

DEADLY WEAPONS.
Mobile Man Thinks Legislature Should
 Pass Stringent Law.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 At time when our country is rife with the turmoil of mob violence, and of other crimes vastly more horrible in the south, let our legislators do state an ever lasting service in the enactment Of law that will in a very large degree render lawlessness and crime among us less freuuent-if not impracticable. law to prevent the pernicious and promiscuous practice of carrying concealed weapons, and to regulate the carrying of firearms in a general way, in which might be in- cluded knives and razors, would accomp- fish that result.
 Were it possible to gather the exact fig ures from which to calculate the enor- nous expense the state undergoes an- nually in experimenting and prosecuting crimes, which are attributable, directly or indirectly to this pernicious habit, It would be astounding, and we would won der why an intelligent people should have permitted such practice to have been en- gagged in, in this day of civilization
 I happen to have in my employ over 1O negroes In this county, and were I to carefully search their quarters l would find as many pistols and guns, each of which was purchased with the avowed intent or thought of shooting some man if the opportunity presented itself; and my experience Is not unlike that of others in any section of the state who employ negro labor. The practice, however, is not so prevalent in the cities where they are liable to be apprehended on that or any other charge. If we could get some strin- gent laws regulating this evil, the light est penalty for this violation to be several years in the penitentiary, and a fee of $25 to any one furnishing sufficient evil dence to convict I believe we would be greatly relieved of this iniquitous indul- gence. And a regulation of the sale and ownership of a gun of any description would greatly handicap the perpetrators of riots and mobs in their inability to get the munitions of war, as well as to prevent violence in times of strikes.
 Were we to penetrate the jungles of Africa, where we are liable to be sprung

 Monroe Lanier the Birmingham boy who is at present a pupil of Sewanee, but who played on the University team last year, declares that the Alabama aggre- gaton will be most formidable when it is in perfect trim, ready for the more serious battles of the season. According to the reports of these men the new rules cause the game to be more open, and practically eliminates the tackle-back and other formations which are intended to crush the line of the opposing agsrega- tion. IL is said >1at Alabama attempt ed Maryville's line but five times End runs are almost exclusively employed. This renders the game faster and a deal more spectacular.
