Chairman Burton in Alabama.

Congressman Burton of Cleveland O., chairman of the rivers and har- bors committee, is the best friend the Alabama rivers have outside the state and he is coming to Alabama to look over the Alabama rivers. He desires to study the Chattahoochie river, and he has promised to go with Judge Richardson to Colbert Shoals. and he is coming to Birmingham to stay a couple of days. and perhaps he will go down the Warrior to the sea.
 Chairman Burton is not man who desires to be feted or lionized, al. though he is not averse to a cordial reception. Few men are No com panionable man is. He comes prima. rily to study the rivers of this state but little relaxation between river trips would not it is safe to say, be unacceptable.
 No man knows so much about the country's rivers and their possibilities as does MT Burton, and while he re mains at the head of the rivers and harbors committee we certainly have friend at court. He should be made to feel that this district appreciates the value and possibilities of an Open Warrior as soon as the Squaw shoals are overcome. Indifference in so i'm portant undertaking would be hurtful and this district cannot afford to show an inclination of that sort.

advisers they had no head outside Of the socialists. They had no leaders except the strike leaders In the va rious factories. Unionism in the Amer ican sense does not exist in Russia, The working men are strung together in a loose, uncertain way, but poor as the organization 1t Is better than any other in Russia. It Is a backward country, but political education is spreading in it rapidly. It travels in whispers, or rather it did, for the peo- pie are beginning to meet and to talk openly and frankly.
 Beyond reasonable doubt a crisis even greater than that of last Janu- ary is coming in Russia, and the in dications now are that the Emperor can no longer depend upon the army, and when he cannot nothing stands between him and an angry people. How far or how fast the revolution will go is about all there is of inter- est in the situation. The autocracy is doomed and the entire system of absolution. The Emperor Is a weak ling. and his advisers from Trepoff down to the lowest bureauerat seem to lack political sense and even ordi- nary common sense. They are toying any overt act may hurl the entire country into the horrors of revolution.

SWISS CHEESE"
Newest Shirt Waist and Men Will
 Have to Wear Flinders.

New York Co. Pittsburg Dispatch.
 My firm has patented name for a new summer shirt waist" said the female drummer who sells white goods of all descriptions"
 Its the Swiss cheese and no one need ask what's in a name hereafter This new shirt waist can be best described as bunch of holes surrounded by delicate embroidery.
 We are putting out another new shirt waist named The Maiden's Blush It is mighty effective, too. If it becomes the fashion l will sell blinlSers, binders and eye shades for the men as a side issue
 Mine is very enterprising firm, con- tinued the drummer "Only today the head of the firm read about that girl who tried to button up her shirt waist in hurry and broke her arm doing 1t. Of course, you goose, it buttoned up the back. Ninety-nne out of 100 shirt waists do
 There will be no more such accidents, for the head of our firm will patent a shirt waist that will lace just like COTS well. just like another article of female apparel. Think of the possibilities in that
 
 geousness of the ribbons that will be used as laces and coquettishly tied around the waist for belt. You may have observed casually, of course--the opportunity for . display of ribbons that peek-a aboo waist affords. We'll our shirt waist will double the show space so to speek.
 There is the risk. of course, that girls, instead of breaking their arms, will be dislocating their necks in the attempt to see if the ribbon laces are arranged all right. I suggested this to the head of cur firm. All he said was: I'm not mean Give the plaster of paris bandage makers a chance
 "I. see they are in a panic in London lest the peek-a-boo become the rage there. But they need have no fear What woman cares to wear a peek-a-boo in fog?"

STRUGGLE OVER CANAL TYPE.
May Plunge Congress Into Long Sum-
 mer Session.

From the Washington Post.
 On motion of MT. Kittredge. who made the majority report for the committee on inter-oceanic canals, the canal bill was yesterday made the unfinished business in the Senate. II is expected that by Tues day of next week MT. Willard will make a report for the minority of the commit tee, recommending lock canal in ac- cordance with the plans of construction now being prosecuted on the isthmus un- der the Presidents directions.
 Whether this maneuvering means that Congress at this session is to be plunged into long and bitter struggle over the question of the type of canal to be chosen cannot yet be stated with absolute deti- niteness. The chances, however, favor the postponement of lengthy consideration of the subject to the next session. Should the advocates of a sea-level canal, as recommended by the majority report of the committee insist upon forcing elab- crate discussion at this time, undoubt- edly the session would be prolonged con- siderably into July, if, indeed, it was not extended into August.
 As 1t Is the general desire to bring the session to a close at as early date as practicable, and as the indecision as to the type of canal for few months longer cannot in any way interfere with the work now outlined on the isthmus, 1t would seem that in all likelihood the whole question will be held in abeyance until Congress reassembles next Decem- Der. However, it is barely possible that Messrs. Kittredge Morgan and other pro- ponents of the sea-level scheme may in- slst upon the subject being taken up for final discussion immediately after the mi nority report is submitted next week.

Weed CuttInq in Order.

Weeds, big and little, are displayed along every street in this city. There are twice as many miles of them as there are miles of streets, because they are on the right and also on the left of each street. They should be cut. Weeds cut about July 1 are not replaced by new growths, and tha; time is near at hand.
 Every weed furnishes home for mosquitoes, and the pesky insect draws the greater part of it's food from weeds. Every weed should therefore be cut, and the owners of vacant lots should be required to cut all weeds grown by them. The cru sade against weeds should be even more general and searching than was the one of last year, when an effort was made to destroy all weeds.
 The city cannot begin the task toe soon or conduct 1t too vigorously The weeds must be cut to lessen the number of mosquitoes, and to put the city in a condition to fight all disease Every weed Is a menace to health. It shelters mosquitoes while living, and when it decays it poisons the air and streams. It is believed to be source of malaria. It must go and the soon CT the better. Let the city be made Mayor Ward and Commissioner Nc Cartin can accomplish 1t.

Jamestown Exposition.

Now that the government appropria- tion of nearly million and half dol lars for the Jamestown exposition will be available soon, the work of erecting the buildings of the tri-centennial of the settlement of the first permanent English colony in America will pro- ceed rapidly. The site of the exposi- tion is on Hampton Roads, few miles from Norfolk. The management has decided to open the fair on the date fixed-May 1, 1907-whether the build ings be completed by that time or not.
 The Jamestown exposition will be unique. While exhibits are to be at tractive, the exposition feature will be of secondary interest. The prime draw ing feature will be the naval rendez- vous in Hampton Roads. Nowhere in this country can so fine naval ex- hibit be made as in the famous roads between Newport NeWS ana NOr10lk. On the occasion of the three hun. dredth anniversary celebration a greater number of battleships and cruisers will be assembled than ever before in American waters. And then, as Virginia is rich in historic land marks, thousands of sight-seers will feel well repaid for a trip to the Old Dominion, even il they cared nothing for displays of the worlds fair sort.
 It is believed that the crowds visit ing lrginia next year will be almost, if not quite, as large as those that went to the worlds fair at St. Louis

Political Chaos in Russia.

The imperial troops in Russia are full of disobedience and discontent Even the Cossacks are no longer trustworthy from the Emperor's point of view. All come from the people and all in the great crisis that seems to be coming will go with the people rather than with the men that have systematically plundered them.
 The peasantry have fallen away from the Emperor and if the imperial government fails to satisfy the land hungry of the people the Little Father will find no supporters among the peasants AS the peasants go so will go the army, for the army is recruited from the peasants.
 When in January the Russian peo- ple rase against the Emperor and his

MIR. LONGWORTH'S NEW HONORs

Rarely does a President of the United States gain entrance to Punch's portrait gallery. Once in long while Lincoln, Mckinley or a Roosevelt is seen there but as a rule Uncle Sam in beaver hats, striped trousers and bootstraps. or Co., lumbia in her graceful draperies, does duty for them all. The distinction con- ferred this week upon Senator Long worth. son-in-law of King Theodore, l.. s. is unique. Mir. Punch not only intro- duces him to the most distinguished Euro pean society, but promotes the unassum- ing representative from Ohio to be sen- ator without asking leave of MT. Dick and Mir Foraker.
 It is pleasant to imagine what will hap pen to MT Longworth when he gets to Paris. The French carlcaturists in the goodness of their hearts may take him for some such august parsonage as the supreme court. By the time he reaches Italy possibly the artists will herald him as MT. Roosevelt's President-in-law.

Atlanta and Birmingham.

q spend a good deal of time in At lanta, and I appreciate that eity's pluepH and solidity," said J. R. Baurmann, 6 commercial traveller, but I predict that the census of 1920 will give Birmingham a far greater population than the Georgia metropolis Birmingham and Its envlrons today have larger population than At lanta and its suburbs. But, assuming that Birmingham will not extend It's Inn its so as to take in the larger outlying towns by 1910, Atlanta will be ahead Of this city in size In the next census. But by 1920 Ensley, North Birmingham and all the other large industrial cities will be a part of Birmingham. Jefferson has now A population of more than 100000. In l92o 1t will have fully 100000. This community being yet in its infancy, nothing is too big to predict for 1t in the years to come

PHILOSOPHY OF DANCING.
Famous Men of Antiquity Who Were
 Dancers.

Paris Correspondence London Standard.
 As Mir. Squeers' was" the right shop for morals" so 1t has been found year after year that the conference of the Interna- tional Academy of Composers of the Dance and Dancing Masters Is the right shop for history and department and more especially for history. At the con- ference which was held in Paris yester- day M Eugene Giraudet. the president of the academy. traced the history of dancing from early times.
 The hymnal dance was evidently in vogue when the Israelites crossed the Red sea. The farandole is always claim ed by Provence, but 1t seems now that it was invented by Theseus when he came out of the Labyrinth. and that it was called the stork, because 1t initiated the flight of storks. Socrates danced Plato but I should like to hear Dr. Emil Reich on this point-and Simonides must have danced, according to our academician, be- cause they said such pleasant things about dancing.
 Louis XIV. was not only 'Le Grand Monarque," but also ''un grand danceur,' because he said: He who dances well makes a long step in love" When Nap oleon I. was a military student at Brienne he demanded more money from his father for dancing lessons, saying .'I do not know how to dance, and that is very rid iculous,', This remark said M. Girau- det, proves that Napoleon was not want ing in common sense.'
 Capt. Cook turns out to have been an early Capt. Reece Commander of the Mantelpiece) when he insisted that his sailors should dance every day. As to the Czar We were informed that though he does not talk much. he has uttered this apotheSm on dancing: "A man is perfect and complete only when he knows how to conduct himself under all social | conditions A dancing master and mast CT of manners is. therefore, indispensa- ble."

PavinQ Birminqham.

The work of paving Birmingham S streets is going forward with gratify- ing results. Nothing more surely in- dicates the progress of town than its streets, and the citizens of Birming- ham may feel proud of the progress that has been made. Yet, the work is far from done. In fact, it will never be finished. AS the city continues to ex- pand it will be necessary to keep on paving until Birmingham presents a network of handsome boulevards and business thoroughfares.
 No municipal improvement of recent date has brought more satisfaction than the paving of Highland avenue, one of Birmingham handsomest resi- dence streets. Well paved streets kept clean mean a great step forward in the matter of sanitation, and such i'm. proyements cannot be done too soon.
 At present a vigorous paving cam paign is being waged by the city gov ernment, which should be endorsed by all residents who have the towns future at heart Some complaint may be made about the expense involved, but in five years from now Birming- ham will be so greatly beautified that the money outlay will be forgotten.

Gender In Flowers.

Tt is a strange fact that there is gen. der in flowers and plants just as there is in the animal kingdom. and that one gen. der will not thrive without the other Is somewhere near" said John L. Parker yesterday.
 "The male flowers are always much larger and finer than the female flowers. The plants are healthier and the blooms are prettier, which is the opposite of what Is true in people, for the females are al ways the more beautiful.
 ''In planting flowers we have to be very careful not to mix various colors, for if we do then the coors will blend and the roses will lose their distinctive shades which make them beautiful. We never plant a white and a red rose in the same bed, for if we do the two will blend and both bushes will produce pink flower
