BIRDS COMPETE
 WITH PREACHER
fifteeo Hundred SparrOws Chatter Con. stantiy In Quaker City
 Church.

1t iS not every church that can have bird chorus in addition to It's regular choir aud its congregational singing temple, ut Fifty fourth and Spruce streets, Philadelphia. enjoys this dis. tinction, yet it is true nevertheless that the services are aecompa nied by the singing of 500 English sparrows.-
 IT was while rhe windows were be ing put in place aud ufter the roof had been completed thu ibe birds made their ingress to the church The work men paid little attention 10 them, thinking they wo,lIf. go out as they came. but the birds sst. still there. and their presence causes u0 little wOrri- ment to the officers of the church.
 They nest up on the big jo!sts that brace the roof and during the day fly about the church.. keeping up a eontinu. al twitter
 Were It not necessary to open tue windows occasionally to ventilate the edifce the birds might be starved out. But this seems to be Impossible. Every time a window is opened twenty Or thirty fly out and go in search of food. If the windows are aM closed when they return they wait &on1her opportu- nifty to re-enter
 Evening services are never disturb, ed, for the birds have tllen gone to nest. and the church singing evidently does not arouse them, It is while prayer Is oaf nI that the real annoyance comes. The speaker has to talk continuously against a twitterln@ chorus.

WORDS AND DEEDS.

Lord, Lord. how this world is given to lying." said fat Jack Falstaff. and we feel something the same way when we read expressions put forth by many of the Northern brethren about the poor down-trodden negro in the South Such expressions are usually founded on ignorance or hypocrisy, and in soma instances downright lying Is resorted to in speaking of the South. Of their hypocrisy we get such frequent evi- dences that we have almost ceased to notice them.
 Some little time ago there was to be C general conference of negro Methodists at Topeka, Kansas. It was considered 8 good place for such an assembly and all might have gone we'll had it not been for the item of caring for the delegates. Then 1t was discovered that the negro residents of the city were not able to accommodate the visitors and tho white people re- fused to take any negro visitor or boarders into their homes or public houses. Tn consequence of this hitch the conference was held in Memphis. Tenn.
 And this exhibition of color hatred occurred in Kansas the home of John Brown, and a hotbed and breeding place of abolitionism; a State where sniffling saints put on their long dis tance glasses and shed salty tears xayhA for stealing chickens; a State whose people rage and rant about Jim Crow cars in the South and affect to think it a crime against humanity if any distinction is made between the races down here. Isn't it time for Bleeding Kansas" to do some more bleeding?
 But there is worse to come, and /more of 1t. The Presbyterian General Assembly is to meet in Des Moines. Iowa. during the present month, and there are some negroes among the representatives. The hotel-keepers have given notice that they will not &C., cept or entertain any negro delegates. Iowa is one of the unwavering Repub- lican States which rarely gives a Re- publican plurality as low as 5o,ooo. and which two years ago gave Roosevelt plurality of nearly l69, 900 votes That's the sort of State it is, and that's the sort of city Des Moinss Is. It IS a long-range friend of the negro and a close-range enemy
 And so it goes. They have oceans of sympathy for the negro in the South but not so much as dewdrop of help for him when he is among them. They insist that he shall have everything he desires in the South and also insist that he shall stay here. Their lip-sympathy would load a train but their helr for him wouIdn'a fill a wheel-barrow. Falstaft was cor rect.

SIDEWALK PENcILINCs
Car Line to Blrminshsm.

A travelling man was talking in the lobby of a downtown hotel last even- ing.
 sTt Is strange to me-" he said, that while the interurban traction system ia being developed to so great an ex- tent in the north, and Is also being introduced in the south, that there has never been suggested a traction nen between the cities of Montgomery ana Birmingham. It is true, the distance between the cities Is great. but dis tances equally as great have been cov- cred by the systems in the north, and notice that down here in the south q line is now in the planning between New Orleans and Mobile. and that por- tions of this road have in fact been all ready completed.
 There are number of towns be- tween here and Birmingham which, I should judge, would furnish good rev- enue on the line while 1t is being con structed. The trade between these two }centers of Alabama is now some- thing enormous. and this trade Is bound to increase rapidly as the state develops. In Ohio. Indiana. Michigan. Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and sother states. there are roads which are as long as a line between Birmingham and Montgomery would be. and often these lines connect points which would not furnish as much traffic as would these two Alabama cities. And yet all the roads seem to be paying good dividends on the capital invested. and I have never heard of an interurban line which had once been firmly es- tahlished, which has eyer failed to do enough business to pay for every thing put into 1t.
 There is going to be money in 1t for someone some day, when such a road is started"

ation. must necessarily be clothed with large discretionary powers. leaving 1t to their sound judgment to fix the value after they have considered not only, the cost of reproduction, gross and net earnings. the value of Its stock and bonds, but it's value as compar- ed to other property in the State, and reachign final conclusion from a consideration of all the facts No mathematical rule can be adopted. It is at last matter of judg- ment, but certainly there can be no just cause of complaint so long as the rail- roads in Alabama pay in comparison with other property even more. propor- tionately. than their just share of all taxes collected In the State. It is diffi- cult to see how any better method than that now provided by law could be adopted for the assessment of rail- road property in Alabama, and the clamor for a change Is largely due to the fact that the people have not been properly informed upon this subject.
