pr. Crapsey. Heretic.
do

By vote of four yeas and one nay Dr. Crapsey of Rochester, N. Y, has been adjudged heretic. The four affirmative jurors say that Dr. Crapsey does not construe certain doctrines of the Episcopal church as the church "hath received them" while the soli- tary negationist says Dr. Crapsey does not reject the doctrines in question, but that he interprets them ''in man ner not generally received by the church" The stubborn juryman, Dr. Francis $. Durham. refused to declare Dr. Crapsey heretic.
 The jury made of clergymen from churches in western New York will not be permitted to decide the issue that has arisen between a broad and a lit era interpretation of the doctrines of the Episcopal church. That church has had for several years court of 
 church cases can be laid. The Crap sey case will be forthwith carried be- fore the court of review. This court consists of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Scarborough, bishop of New Jersey; the Rev. Dr. Huntington, rector of Grace church, New York: the Rev Dr. Baker of Newark. N. J.. the Rev Dr. Alsopp of Brooklyn: Marcus T. Hun, an attorney, of Albany; Justice Andrews of the New York supreme court and Frank Adams of Newark, N J. The members of this court are drawn from five dio- ceses, and it Is court wholly compe- tent to define the liberty of interpreta- ton that is involved in the important and far-reaching Crapsey case.

THE DOG NEVER KNEW.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 Abe Trot, a wel-known character of Peaks Island, Me-, was on his way to the woods to cut down some trees, carry ing an ax on his shoulder and a small terrier dog following at his heels. They espied a woodchuck, to which the dog gave chase and drove into stone wall, where action commenced at once. Abe's sympathies being with the dog, he decided to take hand and help him. So, putting himself in position, with the ak above the dog, he waited for the extraction of the chuck. Soon an opportunity offered and Abe struck, but at the same time the woodchuck gathered himself up and pulled the dog in far enough for him to receive the blow, and the dog was killed.
 For years after, in relating the story, Abe would always add: And thet dog don't know to this day but what thet woodchuch killed him."

Athletic Field.

q hope that the mayor and aldermen will see fit to convert East Park into an athletic field" said member of the Ath- letic club last night. Tt will be a great thing for Birmingham to have such a park where the boys of the city can en- gage in healthy outdoor exercise all the time
 Amateur athletics do more for the youth of a city than anything else, per- haps. It is generally conceded that wherever there is pure amateur athletic sport the morals of the youths are raised. Healthy bodies always produce healthy minds. One rarely hears of one of the great college athletes who is not healthy morally
 Now is the time for the city to take the matter in hand. It would cost com paratively little to put the park into ex- celent condition for an athletic field, where baseball, football, tennis and other outdoor sports could be indulged in by the boys and young men"

Happy to Return.

Willard Wilson of the sales department of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, who was for a time in charge of the sales agency in Cincinnati is meet ing with cordial welcome on his return 10 Birmingham. Under the reorganization Of the Tennessee's commercial depart- ment, MT Wilson will he stationed here. Up to about six months ago he was as- sistant to the vice president of the Ten nessee company with headquarters in Bir- ningham.
 ''I never appreciated Birmingham so thoroughly as l do now on my return, ' said MT. Wilson last night. Having lived the greater part of my life north of the Ohio river, l used to think that only the north was Gods country and while I have nothing to say against my old sec tion, I think the south is wonderfully at traetive, and that Birmingham as a place of residence is unsurpassed. I am delight ed indeed to get back here."

Building Operations.

While there Is great deal of building in Birmingham this spring. the record is not quite up to the same period last year. said prominent architect. "As Birmingham is pushing ahead rapidly, house construction each year should ma terially go ahead of the previous year; but building material is higher than it was, and the fact is affecting building opera tions.
 Everything has been advancing since the great prosperity era set in several years ago. Lumber has about doubled in value in five years. This is accounted for partly by the increased demand and part ly because of the idea that the timber supply will be too small by and by to meet ordinary demands. Good timber is undoubtedly becoming scarce, but con crete for structural purposes is coming to the front, and we can get along with much less timber in the years to come"

MT. Allisan's Amendment.

The charges and countercharges over the dickerings between the President and the democratic minority of the Senate, interesting though they be, do not concern the country as much as do the changes in the rate bill in the Sen ate In order to clearly understand what has taken place in that bill in the Senate, three things must be kept in mind namely:
 1. The Hepburn bill passed by the House, simply left the courts to assume their own authority in reviewing de- cisions of the interstate commerce commission. It contained in fact no review proposition, referring incident ally to 1t only
 ?. In the Senate the Tillman-Dolli- yer combination desired review prop Csition limited to constitutional ques- tions only For example, if the inter- state commerce commission made a rate that would be practically eonfisca- tory. it should be set aside by the courts.
 3. The Allison combine demanded a review proposition that was at once explicit and unlimited. That is to say, three judges sitting as a circuit court may enioin the interstate commerce commission and may review it's action ad libitum.
 To say. as the President does, that these three propositions are to all in tents and purposes alike is simply to say that the English language is a delusion and a snare, when it is noth- ing of that kind. It is flexible but , still an expressive language and no one need have any trouble in putting his meaning into words.
 The truth is, the Senate bill simply passes the rate question over to the | circuit courts and the supreme court of the United States. The Allison de vice in no manner changes the situa- ton except that it cuts out the Drum monds and other district judges with their handy supply of injunctions. The injunction will under the Allison amendment work little slower and perhaps less often. but it will get therc and the chances are that the l Allison bill will settle nothing and change nothing.

Killed and cremated'
M Macbeth.

Up to three years ago there lived at Opp, Covington county, in this state, an inoffensive itinerant preacher, MT. W. G. Alderman. He removed to Santa Rosa county. Florida, where he and his wife and seven children lived peace ably and without offense until they were found on Monday last murdered and partly cremated.
 The people of Santa Rosa county are deeply moved over this almost un- paralelled tragedy, and a coroner's jury is industriously sitting at Melton, near Pensacola, striving to ascertain whom the assassins are Thus far the coroner has not been able to secure any evidence that connects anyone with the crime
 It is to be hoped that Florida will not rest with a mere surface attempt to uncover the foul murderers of the Alderman family. It is Pre-eminently a case that calls for Pinkerton detect ives or other professional searchers- out of hidden crime, and Florida should not hesitate to defend her own good name by calling to her aid the best detectives she can procure.
 The citizens of Milton have contrib uted $500 to a fund to be paid for the detection of the guilty man or men, and if they would expend this money in procuring detectives they would put 1t in the right place. Mere offers of rewards do not bring in good detecJ- ives. Such men are kept busy, and the only way to get their services is to bargain for them directly. This is what plucky Milton should do. It is what Governor Broward of Florida should

The one in the paper Sunday. May 6, on the pistol toter." was one of the best. and it taught lesson that should result in good. If splendid city, with magnificent prospects, was ever cursed by the cowardly pistol toter. cer- tainly Birmingham has been.

 The farmer is happy in his work just now. He whistles as he trudges along in the furrow, clucks to the horses and finds joy in the freedom of life. He doesn't go into raptures over green fields and singing brooks, and songs of birds. they are part of his environments-he loves them just the same. But he feeds tho world. He makes existence possible. He Is the head of the procession in which Is marching the doctor, the lawyer, the banker the idler, etc. He is the foun- tainhead of wealth and prosperity. He Is the creditor of humanity.

WILL REBUILD CHINATOWN.
Political Pull Will Keep It From Being
 Wiped Out.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 " The man who believes these dreams about Chinatown being eliminated from the new San Francisco. or shifted to some other site. is more optimistic than the people of San Francisco, continued the~man from the west.
 " Chinatown has a pull that is strong enough to twist Market street into figure eight. The Chinese may not vote, but they have money, which cannot only be used to buy votes, but automobiles, stables for those in power in San Fran cisco. Chinatown, in all human probabil- ity, will be rebuilt right where it was before.
 " There's reason for this the man who hasn't lived in San Francisco would not guess Under Chinatown there was a subway city, that had a larger popu- lation than the rookeries above the sur face.
 These tunnels, passages and halls still exist Many of them were twisted about by the earthquake; nearly all were filled in at the entrances by the burning de- bris from above and few have caved in completely. They can be strengthened out, however, much more easily than another underground city could be con- structed.
 :" In this village of troglodytes festered the cancer spot that the righteous of San Francisco tried for years to abolish Here were the gambling dens, the gathering places of the tongs and the cages in which were kept the little Chinese women who were sold with a regularity that spoke well for the industry and coSimer- cial instincts of our consuls in China. There were probably hundreds of these little creatures burned to death the day of the fire. Their bones will be dug out, sages will be strengthened, the walls will be shored up and the first section of the burned over part of the city to be occu- pied will be this city of caves.
 " They will build the houses above ground ss they are required. They will pay no attention to the demands for the setting of Chinatown without the city walls. and as long as San Francisco is in the hands of the present political mas ters it can be counted upon as certain that the Chinks will stay right where they have been for more years than the Frisco people like to recall.

Force of Habit.

"I remarked q peculiar thing the other day said a man, "or rather it appeared peculiar at first blush. In a second or two l figured it out. 1 was standing near the cigar counter in a drug store. Several fellows were at the soda fount and I noticed one of them acting rather pecu- liararily.
 My first thought was that he was string haltered, but as I had never heard of that affiction outside of horses I guess ed again. Every now and then his foot would go up against the marble as though he were trying to climb the counter. Then it occurred to me that he was a telegraph pole-clmber, his foot simply working over time. However, not being altogether un- sophisticated, remembered that bars had foot rails Habit is deep within us. I am glad a mans head is wiser than his feet ''

What Russia Wants.

One can scarcely believe while read. ing the reply to the speech from the throne. that what he reads was written in Russia and actually placed by the peoples official representatives in the hands of the once terrible Czar. But the Russia of 1906, defeated on land and sea by handful of islands in tho Pacific, is not the Russia that long bullied the rest of Europe. She bullies ao country now, although she is as big as she ever was except of course on he Pacific ocean.

COLONY OF RATTlESNAkES.
Occupy an Old Stable and Will not be
 Ousted,

From the Bellefontaine (Ohio) Gazette
 Paul D. Sheffer, groceryman of Belle fonte, in company with his brother Her bert and William Walker, spent week fishing on Big Run, in the Aleghany mountains, and camped about one mile below the mouth of what is known as the Middle Branch.
 After they had proceeded about one mile up from it's mouth they came to an old dilapddated lumberman's log stable. It was located about 50 feet from the stream and up on a rocky ledge. It had a double stable door. the upper half being swung back, while the lower one was closed and on it was a piece of cardboard about IS inches square, on which was scrawled by some considerate person the warning: Beware of rattle snakes"
 MT. Walker did not go near the stable. but he told Paul to go up to it and look in over the door. He dld so, and the sight that presented itself sent the cold chills chasing each other up and down his back. The stable was literally alive with rattesnakes. They lay stretched at full length on the floor: some were coiled in huge piles big as old-fash- toned bread baskets, others lay under the planllen floor, with their heads stick ing out of holes. while huge reptiles lay In and hung out over the horse troughs- all sleeping as contentedly as though they had never known a dsturbance-for they had not yet discovered his presence. MT Sheffer declares that he saw no less than 50 snakes, large and small, black and yellow, some of them. and especially one hanging on the horse trough, was as thick as his leg.
 MT. Sheffer had with him a 45.60 Win chester rife. and taking careful aim at the big one on the trough. he pulled the trigger. The explosion woke up the sleep- ing colony, and before he could turn and run he heard such buzzing of rattles as never came to the ear of man. He de- clares 1t sounded like 10000 locusts all singing at one time.
 Upon inquiry we find that the spot is known and avoided by both lumber and fishermen. and the card on the door was evidently placed there by some one who may have had an unpleasant experience in trying to camp In the stable. but who has never made his story known: for the point seems to be a rendezvous for the rattlers. and 1t Is presumed that they hibernate during the winter in the rock ledges near by. while in summer they use the stable as place to congregate.

THE COLORED COOK HAS
 BEEN CRUELLY MALIGNED

the colored cooks grow wider There are so many of the latter left that their old friends can afford to part with them. Together, side by side, the two classes are passing on into the shadow land, where all problems shall be solved and all inequalities adjusted The existing ar rangement suits them well enough in this world. They will take their chances on the next. But if any ladies and gen tlemen now residing at the Capitol i'm agine that the colored cook is fninbler and an imbecile, we are in a position to assure them and, if need be. to prove to them that they don't know the rudi- ments of cookery Tor human use.
