The cahalan Monument.

'The Mary A. Cahalan Memorial asso- citation is making good progress with the statue and drinking fountain to be erected in memory of the late Miss Cahalan, who was for twenty-one years principal of the Powell school" said member of the as- sociation. "The City Council has granted permission for the erection of the statue in East Park, near the Powell school.
 The contract for the memorial has been awarded to G. Morretti, the noted sculp- tor. Signor Morretti is at present in New York. Upon his return to Alabama he will submit designs to the committee in charge of the memorial and this commit- tee will select suitable design. The com mittee is composed of Otto Marx, chair main; Miss Daisy Rowley, Miss Edna Smith, John W. o'Neill and Robert Jemi- son, Jr. It is the intention of the asso- citation to have the statue unveiled on the anniversary of Miss Cahalans death, April g. 1907,
 Those who have promised to contribute to the memorial fund and have not as yet paid their subscriptions are requested to send the money either to Miss Daisy Rowley, treasurer, or Isadore Chapiro, secretary"

Municipal Betierment.

The gathering here this week of municipal engineers, delegates to the thirteenth convention of the American Society of Municipal Improvement. has been notable event. Our own Julian kendrick is fair type of the men who came to the convention-men well equipped chnically-holding po- sitions in their respective cities touch Ing not only the comfort, but also the health, even the lives of citizens.
 They came here to consult together, pnd to gather from the experience of each other the best methods for hand ling the difficult problems of cities. The papers read have covered a wide range of municipal problems, and every one of them has been interesi- ing to the layman and citizen in gen eral
 The delegates disperse today to meet next year in Detroit. They have had an excellent opportunity to study on the spot southern conditions in brac- ing air, and they will next year look at the problems of the big lakes. But the truth is, these trained men have the power of quick insight and are raDahle of treating all nrOblnms that come to their hands for treatment.

soUTH's PROSPERITY.

From the Boston Herald.
 No surer sign that the south is pros perng materially could be had than the fact that it's people in large numbers are hieing to Europe to enjoy themselves. The number of southerners abroad during than in any previous summer since the war, and the fact has been noted in the foreign press with satisfaction. The Lon don Daily Mail lately said that about eight of every ten Americans in London "are from places famous in the records of the civil war" It also declared that than the northerners. because ''thep ap- proximate more nearly the English type and are not so self-assertive." This is an opinion calculated to make us north ern people bethink ourselves as to our qualities and manners.
 In the days "befo' the wah" the south- erners spent large part of their time away from home. some of the most fash ionable of the northern resorts being al most possessed by them. In late years they have been finding themselves' in the new social and business conditions im- posed on their section; but it was cer- tain that whenever they again had means, they would. as before. gratify their in clination for travel and pleasure. The southern climate is a powerful provoca- tive to wandering during the summer sea =

Guntersville Democrat; It is a good time to belong to the White House family. Cuba is full of fat jobs.

 Roanoke Leader: Atlanta has weeded out twenty-four of her worst saloons, and may close others. The riot has done some good
 Union Springs Herald: The renovated Monroe doctrine is very much like reno vated butter. It is a mighty mixture of rottenness and coloring matter.
 Greenville Advocate: According to the decision of the attorney general, the only bar to the importation of German saul sages is finding the tag and collar.
 Elba Clipper: Senator Ben Tillman says the European passport system would de- ter crime in America. It might do so However. American ideas of personal lib- erty will prevent the passport system from being adopted here.
 Alabama Courier: Judge Dan Greene of Birmingham hs handed down a decision which requires policemen to have war rant and affidavit before they can make an arrest. This would be well applied in many instances elsewhere

 Collinsville Courier: We recently read horrible story of young lady who thoughtlessly jerked her head back sud- denly to keep from being kissed and broke her neck This should be a terrible warn ing to girls not to jerk back. In fact, it would be better to lean forward just little.

MAKING OF A JUROR.

From the Green Bag
 The judge had his patience sorely tried by lawyers who wished to talk and by men who tried to evade jury service. Be- tween hypothetical questions and excuses. it seemed as if they never would get to the actual trial of the case So when the puzzled German, who had been accepted by both sides, jumped up, the judge was exasperated.
 "Shudge!" cried the German
 What is it?" demanded the judge
 q think I like to go home to my wife, said the German.
 You can't retorted the judge. 'Sit down."
 But, shudge," persisted the German, T don't t'ink I make good shuror'
 You're the best in the box" said the judge. "Sit down."
 What box?" said the German.
 Jury box" said the judge
 "Oh, I thought it was bad box that people gets in some times.'
 No. said the judge; "the bad box is the prisoner box"
 But, shudge,' persisted the little Ger men. T don't speak good English"
 You don't have to speak at al." said the judge. "Sit down."
 The little German pointed at the law yers to make his last desperate plea.
 'Shudge,' he said. "I can't make nod dings of what these fellers say"
 It was the judges chance to get even for many annoyances.
 Neither can any one else, he said. "Sit down." With a sigh the little German sat down.

Standard Oil in Court.

The pending trial at Findlay, O., Is the first serious effort to bring the parent monopoly in this country to taw. The Standard Oil company of Chic is charged with conspiracy against trade in violation of the Val entine antitrust law of that state. John D. Rockefeller was made a de- fendant in the suit, but he has de. manded a separate trial, and he will not attend the present trial or be a witness in it. The other defendants may, if found guilty by the jury, bo fined $50 to s5O00, or Imprisonment from six to twelve months.
 The Valentine law was passed six teen years ago. About eight years ago Attorney General Monnett endeavored to enforce it, but public sentiment was not ripe. and he acc omplished but lit tie. The present suit is brought un- der favorable circumstances.
 The Valentine law is more drastic than the sherman act that Congress enacted. It provides that the charac ter of an alleged trust or combination may be established by proof "of it's general reputation as such" It fur. ther provides that 'it shall be suff1 cient to prove that trust or combina tion exists, and that the defendant belonged to it, or acted in connection with it, without proving all the mem hers Lt longing to it, or proving or pro ducins any article of agreement or any instrument on which 1t may have Teen based, or that it was evidenced by anY written instrument at ali ' These provisions will render a defense on tn part of the monopoly that con trols 9G per cent Of the oil business of tn country difficult.
 The state will no doubt be able to show that despite numei ous make shifts and changes, and scores of sub sidiary companies, including the Stand ard ~.l company of Ohio, John D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, John D. Archbold have continuously main tained a trust or monopoly contrary tc the Valentine law of the sovereign state of Ohio This is the issue at Findlay and the trial in that town will perhaps become a historic event

In the Hall of Fame.

It is scarcely credible that Congress will reject the statue of the late J. l.. M. Curry rendered by the state of Ala bama. The statue is confessedly q work that presents in true artistic lines an eminent citizen whose life work was chiefly done in this state. 1t came from the hands of Sodini of Florence, Italy, and no one questions its artistic value
 Neither does any one question the value of the services to this state and to the country of Jabez Lamar Monroe Eurry. As the working trustee of the Peabody fund he conducted an educa- tional charity of high value, and he dia |; in the broadest and most patriotic manner. He served, too, in Congress, Rnd he represented this country in Spain. Each state is expected to place two statues in Statuary Hall in the national capitol, and the Alabama leg tslature voted to erect a marble statue of J. l.. M. Curry as one of her pair.
 But those who think the civil war IS hot ended are rising up here and there throughout the country to say that no statue of Confederate soldier should be accepted by Congress. It has al ready been set up in the capitol, but the formal acceptance of it by Con gross is yet to take place. It seems that no statue to the memory of one who had served the Confectionery as a soldier has been accepted by Con gress, and for that reason the men who are still fighting the war over propose to raise the issue when an Alabama Representative presents joint resolution accepting from the state the beautiful statue in honor of one of her distinguished sons.

Youthful Gamhllnu.

"A warning should be sounded" said Prof. J. M. Dill of Bessemer, against the new game which is gaining popu- larity so rapidly among our boys, as it teaches gambling in it's worst form. and the most reckless spirit of chance.
 'They call it Dobbing' One boy sits down on the curb and places a marble on the ground before him, while another stands at a distance of several yards and 'dobs or throws his marbles until he hits it. Every marble that fails the mark is forfeited, but where the shot proves true the boys change about. The game is finished when one or the other becomes broke as both are bound in honor to hold out until the last marble is gone. AS many as one thousand may easily be won or lost in day.
 "The old-fashoned ring game is en- tirely too slow for the modern city boy. manly. Crakaloo is not much worse, a crap game, I call 1t, in disguise. If the parents and teachers were awake to the conditions, they surely would not al- low the game to continue.
 Some of the lads, however, have a rather strong defense Mama plays cards for a prize and I can't see the differ ence. And when told that he should dis courage gambling among his smaller play mates one youngster replied, Well. I do. When I win that 'scourages em, and when they win I take the marbles away from 'em. That ought to 'scourage em too ''

Storino Electricity.

"The great defect in all things electric Is the unreliablity which attends these devices" said citizen. That defect Is a serious one and should engage the at tention of scientists to overcome 1t.
 Take the electric light for an example. The mere slipping of belt or some such trival accident at the power house cuts off the current leaving everything in darkness and confusion and subject to many unforeseen consequences. l have seen whole string of cars tied up on account of some mishap to a dynamo which took an hour to repair. A few nights ago the current failed over large section of the city, and while 1t was only temporary, it was attended with unpleas- ant consequences.
 Gas companies always keep a stock of gas on hand. They do not depend, for the supply, upon the gas as 1t comes from the retorts, 1t is stored in gas hold CTS from which the supply is led to the mains, and there should be something similar with regard to electricity. What the consequences might be in a large dance hall or place of amusement if it were suddenly plunged in darkness is be- yond contemplation.
 If it be impracticable to establish a main reservoir to store sufficient electri- city to supply the city for, at least, twelve hours, it might be possible to install in all public buildings a small one which would continue to supply light and power until substitute could be provided"

Cnha ard the Phillnnines.

Oscar w. Underwood outlined re. gently in clear and positive terms what seems to be the true policy of this government in relation to Cuba and the Philippines. We should hold Cuba, said Mir. Underwood, always provided the Cubans in plebiscite are willing, and we should shuffle off Tn some way the Philippines. Why? The answer is practical. The Philippines do not and never will pay" while Cuba would be rich asset from the. start The Malays in the one can not be Americanized, while the other would in ten years become ricn American state. The latter would become Amer icaniZed. for a ferry froIl Key West to Havana would join it to the main land.
 Mr. Underwood dwells upon the value of Cuba to the south, and tc this district especially after the War rior is opened. The iron ores of Cuba are practically inexhaustible, and they are of high grade. They even excel in quality the ores of Lake Superior Cuba has no fuel. When the Warrior is opened it may be possible to load steel barge at Santiago with ore and bring 1t to the coke ovens of this dis trict without breaking bulk.
 But aside from the local and sec tional gains, we need Cuba because the island lies near our own stores and Is on the road to Panama. The Teller idiocy of 1898 should not be repeated no matter how insistent the beet-sugai interests of Colorado may become.
 MT. Underwood does not tell us how We can get rid of the Philippines, bui the new island empire in the Pacific can no doubt supply the lacking in formation. Japan will not possess the entire chain of islands off the Asiatlc coast until she secures the Philippines That acquisition would complete the island empire. Nature seems to have intended that Japan should hold all the islands from Alaska to Singapore and she will have the entire lot when she lifts from our shoulders the islands that we do not want and cannot utilize

Girl "Messenoer Boys"

There is quite a new wrinkle in Bir- mingham,' said a man last night. In stead of messenger boys. it's now messen- ger girls. It is a fact that the West ern Union company, being unable to get messenger boys. is now converting girls to the purpose, And 1 want to tell you, too, that the proverbial apathy which sur rounds the messenger boy was dispelled yesterday In this locality, for these girls seemed to have been blown around from place to place on the wings of the breezes.
 Really. girls furnish a most inspiring example of energy, and very pleasant novelty in the featureless routine of busi- ness. I should like to see the messenger girl permanent institution She will cer- tainy be a good example to the young sters who have not quite won a reputa- tion suggestive of the Mareoni system"
