BURNS TO GROUND
OLD CHEMICAL WORKS ARE COM
 PLETELY DESTROYED
Buildings Located in North Montgomery Beyond City Limits too Far Distant to be Reached by Fire
 Fighters,

The structure known as the old chemical works. in North Montgomery half mile beyond the city limits, caught fire last night and were burned to the ground.
 The fire department was called to Scctt's Bend north Montgomery, at 7:15 o'clock Two wooden frame buildings. owned by Mir NJ C. Scott had caught fire and were burning furiously when the department ar rived.
 The property was built several years ago when plans were afoot looking to the establishment of A large fertilizer factory in that neighborhcod year ago the property, together with an extensive tract of land in which 1t is located. was purchase ed by Mr Scott and has since been used for various purposes.
 It Is some distance beyond the city tirp~ it's on the River bank, and tho fire depart ment was unable to lay a line of hose to the fire line 1000 feet in length was laid. and it was found that about 5000 feet more would be needed to allow the fire fighters to get stream on the fames' When the situation was canvassed. the Madison Avenue ard North Montgomery stationN. which had 4espopded to tho alarm. returned to the city, after taking all possible precautions to prevent spread of the fire.

The manager of the Gulf Fisheries of Galveston has made a similar statement. and 1t Is probable that unless the government takes hand and calls halt on the operations of Mexico that there will be little fish ing done for red snappers during the coming winter.
 Girl Pleads Guilty.
 In the Criminal Court this morning Judge Beggs accepted the plea of gull ty of the little 12-year- -od negro girl known as Little Annie" who for a month or more before her final capture, eluded all efforts at capture and proved to be one of the slickest thieves ever to operate in a city. The girl is to spend the next nine years in the State reform school as the sentence provides that she remain there until she becomes of age. The girl some weeks ago vis- ited a number of homes in the city, making the statement that she was homeless and would ask for home with no wages attached. She Is of neat appearance and bright, and was taken in by a number of families. At no place did she remain over twelve hours. Ieayine, as soon as she could gather up ali the jewelry and money she could find. She left no trace at any place and the officers were on her trail for weeks before they finally succeeded in capturing her, and then 1t was through the assistance of a relative.

SEIZURE OF SMACKS
PENSACOLA FISHERMEN ARE
 ALARMED AT CONDITIONS.
Say Federal Government Affords No Protection For Americans Against Outrages of Mexican Gun Boats
 and Officials.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 6.-(SpeciaL)- The seizure of the fishing smack Aloha, of Galveston by the Mexican authori- caused much discussion among the big wholesale fish companies which operate fishing schooners, and the general be- lief prevails that the seizure is similar to that of the Silas Stearns, of this port which was seized because she was sailing through the Mexican ter ritory.
 The opinion is expressed here that unless the United States. affords some protection to the property of Ameri- can citizens that the gulf fishing com papies will have to go out of busi- ness, as they cannot afford the losses &of having schooners seized upon the high seas upon any charge.
 During the summer months the ves- sells do not fish very much at what is known as the Campeachee banks, as the red snappers can be taken nearer home. and most of the schooners fish along the Florida and Texas coasts, hut whom cold weather arrives the fish seek the deeper water and can be talk en at no point in any quantity except at the Campeachee banks. Secretary Root was appealed to when the hrst seizures occurred. and asked to de- fine the territory of Mexico. which he defines as international. that of three miles from shore. The Mexicans. how ever. claim twenty kilometers, or about eleven miles, taking in portion of inc Campeachee grounds, which inter feres with tha fishing. The latest seizure however. occurred within the ttNee mile limit. but 1t was case of the vessel letting go her anchors or going on the rocks.
 Local fishermen are very harsh in speaking of the manner in which the Mexican government conducts its sci zures. and say that the word or oath or the men on a seized vessel have no weight They claim that some Of the seizures made were twenty miles from shore. and the vessels in some cases headed for home
 The point which is at present inter esting Pensacolians is whether or not the United States Is going to allow the red snapper fishing industry to be de- stroyed Thousands of men are em- ployed at Pensacola. Mobile, New Or leans and Galveston, one firm here em- blowing several hundred, and to inter fere with the business would be a heavy blow to this city. The manager

A Pocket Notebook.

It Is not the usual custom of young
people to take notes, but as they grow
older and their interest In the affairs
Of life widens they will discover that
number Of matters will come to their
attention and will slip away again III
less there Is something to help the
memory. While the suggestion may
not be of use to many Of you, for the
benefit Of the few who like to be sys-
temat1c the habit of carrying a little
notebook with an alphabetical index is
strongly recommended. In this put
down at least brief note regarding
what you wish to remember, In each
case entering it under the letter begin
ming the most prominent name or word
connected with it. If you cannot put
down the exact item you wish to re-
member at least note where you found
1t. The amount of time saved by this
habit as you grow older will enable
you to read large number Of excellent
books, for to seek In vain bit Of in
formation Is not only extremely irritat-
ing, but exceedingly wasteful Of time.
Particularly in reading will little
notebook prove a great help. 1t is bet
ter to choose tiny book, so that 1t will
never be In the way st. Nicholas.
