MAN, RATS AND DOGS IN
A MixUP ON THE LEVEE
Rat Killing Exhibition Sport for Dogs
and Spectators-Not for Rats and
Schaab.

One man, two big rats, and three
dogs, rolling about ON the levee near
, the Acme Packet company's warehouse
yesterday afternoon were the cause of
much excitement for Il few minutes.
Joseph Schaab was the victim. though
of course the rats did not escape in the
skirmish. Mr. Schaab took cage con
tanning four big rats to the warehouse
for execution by the dogs. The three
big bull dogs made short work of two
of the rats in the warehouse, and it
was suggested that the other two be
let loose on the river bank. Mr..
Schaab readily agreed, and started
down on the levee.
The dogs were i'll a high state of eX-
citement. ana this proved Mr.. Schaab's
undoinS, for one OF the dogs tripped
him. and in an instant he was the cen
trai figure of a miXup of man. rats, and
dogs. In his efforts to keep the ro
dents from hiding in his clothing, and
the dogs from injuring him. he sus
tanned a sprain of his thumb. but aside
from slight bruises was not otherwise
injured. His clothing was considerab
y damaged
The noise quickly attracted the at.
tention of a large number of people
and those who did not know of the
tackled Mr. Schaab. When il was over
everyone was laughing. but the victim
saw little humor in the situation.

YOUTH AND AGE MEET BISHOP BECKWITH A T ALTAR OF ST. JOHNS

One of the most impressive ceremo- nies ever witnessed by Montgomery congregation was the service at St. Johns Episcopal Church yesterday morning when Right Rev. Charles M. Beckwith, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Alabama, confirmed and received in to that church eight men and women among whom were three of Montgom- ery's oldest and most prominent men.
 Rev. E. B. Cobbs. rector of St. Johns and Rev. Stuart Mcqueen, rector of the Holy Comforter Church, assisted the Bishop in the beautiful confirmation ceremony
 While the choir sang My Faith Looks Up to Thee" the candidates for confirmation ascended the chancel and knelt at the altar. It was an impress sive scene, one boy and girl, just en- tering their teens; three young wo- men, just crossing the threshold of maturity, and three men, one of whom has reached the three score and ten mile post on life's journey; men prom inent in the affairs of the city and State: men honored and respected whevere they are known. As the can- nidates kneIt before the altar, the morning sunlight filtered through the many prismatic windows. filled the sa- cred edifice with subdued light and lit up the countenance of the Bishop as, with face uplifted and hands fold- ed on the bowed heads, the curly hair ed girl and raven haired boy, the sil- vered locks of the old man, he invoked Gods blessing on "this, thy child" and

They will leave Opelika this morning and continue on the tour of inspection. reaching Montgomery about noon.

 L. D. Lesuer, foreman of the section at Cusseta, a station about seventy five miles from Montgomery received the gold medal last year.
 The rewarding of the section fore men with medals was instituted by the company about five years ago and has proven most satisfactory. The friendly rivalry existing among the foremen, in. the hope of being the suc- cessful competitor for the medal and the honor attached has resulted in the Western having one of the best kept tracks and road beds in the country.
 1t will be several days before the award of the medals will be made, as 1t requires some time to figure the per centage of the several sections.

 The three most elderly candidates for Confirmation, General John W. A. Sanford, Captain John G. Crommelin and Herbert Dent, whose lives have been spent in Montgomery, have long been identified with St. Johns Church. and few were aware of the fact that they were not regular commupicants of the church.
 MT. Cobbs. rector of the church, bap- tized John Crommelin Raoul, the in fant son of MT. and Mrs. George M. Raoul
 Bishop Beckwith. in a short address to the congregation spoke of the ex- ccileace of the conditions of St. Johns Church and complimented its members on their recent work. He said that he had been called twice recently to St Johns to administer confirmation ser vices ana he hoped that he might be called again before the year had passed. He spoke beautifully of those whom it had been his pleasure to re- ceive into the church and on whom he had pronounced the church's blessing.
 That there is no special time in the life of man to be called to the ser- vice of God the Bishop very aptly Illustrated in the lives of St. James and St. John. St. James was but q youth when he was called to the min istry and St. Jokn had already lived a long and useful life when he was called to take up the cross and tel- low"
 The service was beautiful and im- pressive and was largely attended.
