AleRETTEs IN LONDON.

From the London Daily News.
In view of Queen Alexandria's pro-
nouncement against the so-called aigrette.
it seemed interesting to ascertain whether
aIgrettes were ceasing to appear upon the
hats displayed in miliiners' windows.
Thre rounds of inspection were made, the
first along the north side of Oxford
street, the second down the east side
of Bond street the third from the north
eastern point Of Langham place down
Regent street to Picadilly circus
Two persons were engaged In the expe-
dition, one of whom numbered all the hats
exhibited the other all the aigrettes.
Among aigrettes were included birds Of
paradise about half a DOZEN, some two
or three plumes believed to be, like the
aigrette, nuptial adornments, and one
consisting apparently of the tail feathers
of the Tyre bird. No other feathers were
reckoned in.
in spite of the Queens express disap-
prevail, there were counted In three Lon
don thoroughfares alone no less than 92S
aigrettes, exposed for sale In hats and
bonnets, and this besides large numbers
lying not yet applied to hats, and num-
bers yet larger paraded shamelessly on
human heads.

Questions in the Williams Case.

The suing out of a writ of habeas
corpus in the John Williams case has
raised several new questions in state
now nearly a century old. The writ
is based on post-sentence insanity.
The jury that found Williams guilty
of murder decided that he was sane
when he killed Senator Hipp. The
petitioner says, however, the prisoner
has since become insane, and he asks
that he be confined at Tuscaloosa I'M
til he becomes sane again, when, of
course. the sentence of the law would
become, operative.
Not less strange is the fact that
the trial of the new issue of insanity
would take place In Jefferson county,
before a Jefferson county jury, and a
court Of limited jurisdiction, whereas
the crime was committed in Cullman
county. and sentence was imposed by
the circuit court of that county. The
sheriff of Cullman county cannot car
nv out the mandate of the trial court
hecause the sheriff of another county
holds the prisoner and he cannot and
will not surrender him while the writ
of habeas corpus rests upon him. The
entire procedure will be under the
common law. no statute of Alabama
being available in case of subse-
ouent insanity. The common law
rights of the prisoner may yet be
tested in the supreme court, and the
hanging would in that event be post
poned indefinitely.
Putting aside the case of John Will
liams. which strongly appeals to every
man In home, the proceedings be-
fore Judge Weaver point to more de-
laws and more complications between
a crime and it's punishment, and Amer
lea is already overloaded with such
things. In England, where lynching
Is unknown and crime is at mini
mum, no appeal in a criminal case is
permitted. In this country appeals

GETTING RID OF PIRATES.
How Band Was Quickly Disposed Of
In South China.

From the South China Post.
A reader who arrived at Hongkong
from Wuchow informs us that on Sun
day, when he left <Wuchow, there was
a great Changing of gongs and blowing
of whistles The people were In a most
excited state of mind and crowded the
streets and housetops.
Inquiry as to this unusual state of af-
fairs elected the information that seven
teen of the most notorious robbers of the
district, men who had kept the inhabi-
tants in terror for long time past, had
paid the penalty of their misdeeds. 1t
being impossible for the authorities to
effect their arrest In the ordinary way,
the taotai Of the district enticed the
robbers to his yamen by making an offer
of free pardon and other inducements
to abandon their nefarious practices.
No fewer than seventeen of the ruffians
swallowed the bait Sixteen entered the
yamen and were promptly surrounded by
troops and made prisoners. One man es-
capped from the compound into the
street and ran for dear life. Another
the seventeenth man-suspected trap,
and took to his heels without entering
the official residence. Meanwhile the
troops were not handling the fifteen cap
tives very gently. They were promptly
disarmed and without much ado We're
stripped and cut into thousand pieces.
The enraged populace were not long In
securing the two runaways and they met
their end in the same manner in the
streets. There was great rejoicing after
ward and it is hoped that this lesson will
have a deterrent effect on others whose
haunts may be in the nAghborhood.

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
Earlier Saturday Closing.

It is understood that movement is on
foot among the retail clerks and some of
the merchants of the city to secure an
earlier closing hour on Saturday.
Referring TO this question a popular
salesman in one of the largest establish
ments stated: Yes. know that such an
effort will be mode, but I have not yet
been approached on the matter. However,
l shall do all IN my power to bring about
the change. and 1 believe it can be eff
fected If we all stand together and the
public co-operates with us little.
This store opens at 7:30 and closes at
H. but it's nearly always half an hour
later before I can get away. Now that
means that am on my feet over fifteen
hours My Sundays are not only spoiled.
but it's well on IN the week before I am
feeling rested. II it were necessary to
keep open this late, would have nothing
to say against 1t. But it isn't.
Not many years ago Birmingham
stores We're keeping open until L o'clock,
and the clerks request that the day be
shortened an hour was strongly opposed,
but l haven't heard of any merchant who
has lost money by the change. Who isn't
glad now that the change was made?'

The Williams Case.

Lawyer are reticent in expressing their
opinions of the Williams case, said a
man yesterday 1.-THE fact is nearly all
of them are a little shy on their criminal
law. Before committing themselves they
want to consult the book, like the old
time doctor who always looked up his
Family Physician before he gave pill.
Legal opinions on short notice are almost
as rare now as snow balls in August,
but street corner opinions as deep as
the Pyerian spring and as hard to change
as Pharoah's heart, are plentiful as pnmp-
kin bugs In June.
1.-THE town Is full of legal lights, even
though they may not be quite UP to the
candle power standard. They argue all
over the streets and hand down opinions
with every breath that would make Black
stone sit up and take notice. If you want
to get a liberal education in law walk
a block or two about town. Its equal to
a course at Harvard. Step into one of
the drug stores. The soda founts are the
fountain heads of forensic eloquence now
as we'll as for other dope And the bars
they are the logical forums for legal

Weed Cutting Day.

All weeds in this city are to be cut
on or before August 1, which is
next Wednesday. The city authori-
ties have not doomed to destruction
the weeds only that grow along side
walks, but they have ordered all
weeds to be cut. Especially should
the weeds In backwards and on unim-
proved lots be cut, for more mosqui-
toes can be sheltered in them than
can find refuge along the sidewalks.
The health powers of the city au-
thirities are despotic, and almost UNI
limited. The owner of an unimproved
lot has no right to endanger the pub
lie health. He has no right to pro-
tect and foster insects that will poster
his neighbors. If he will not cut all
weeds on his property. the city should
do 1t and make the lot owner pay the
expense. No castle or private prop
erty theory should be permitted to
get in the way of the public health.
All the weeds in this city should be
cut, for their destruction will do a
great deal in the way of minimizing
the mosquito crop. II householders
would at the same time turn over all
tin cans lying about their lots and
turn out all stagnant water near their
back doors, they would still further
lessen the number of the pests who go
about laden with malaria, and who
sing as they go.

Baseball in Memphis.

In an editorial the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal discusses baseball as
1t has of late been played in its town.
The Commercial-Appeal attributes the
recent defeats of Memphis by New
Orleans to errors made by the Mem
phis team. and 1t says ut is time that
those errors were stopping" The
Commercial-Appeal presents the facts.
Memphis" it says, "has recently
played four games of ball with New
Orleans, and the Pelicans have won
all four of them by a co@bined score
of II to 8. A survey of the statistics,
however. shows that Memphis in
these games made 81 hits to 10 by
New Orleans, that Memphis made Al
bases to 26 by New Orleans, and that
Memphis pitchers struck out II play
ers and New Orleans only 49,"
And yet New Orleans won all four
games, because Memphis made 10 err
rors as against by New Orleans.
Memphis has the better team, and yet
Il steadily loses to the inferior New
Orleans team
No wonder the Commercial-Appeal
wants an end put to baseball of that
sort. If 1t is continued much longer
the rest OF the league should en-
deavor to attract President Kava'
naugh's attention to the way the game
is played when New Orleans and
Memphis meet. The game should be
played when they meet as it Is played
elsewhere, for there is nothing in the
rules that admits of variations on &C
count of stockholdlng or family ties.
In a close race for top honors every
game thrown to New Orleans by
Memphis is an act of injustice to all
the other teams. with the possible ex-
ception of Nashville and Little Rock
II. however, games are to be ar
ranged in the two Mississippi river
cities on pennant-winning lines. 1t
would be better to fatten Memphis
percentages than New Orleans, for
the latter is in too poor condition to
be fattened even by errors made to
order.

Remove the Fences.

Il think it time to start another cruz
SADIE against fences IN Birmingham" said
one of a group of real estate agents yes
terday. Several years ago we had a
very active campaign against fences, led
by T. /. MCGOWAN, at that time an enter
prising merchant of the city. We removed
all fences from around the parks and
from the great majority of RESIDENCES.
But in some parts of the city the ugly
picket fences still remain and they can
even be seen in the Highland avenue
residence section. Even the ornamental
iron fences are out of place and useless.
and should be removed. A low wall or
coping in front of a residence lot Is amply
sufficient and in many cases a beautiful
effect can be obtained by letting the lawn
