last two years, and perhaps in 1908 the Kaiser will find something else to fuss with. The opening of Morocco and the peace of Europe have both been wrought out painfully and slowly at Algeciras. The conference was not therefore valueless. How much our representatives had to do with the re. suit is not known, but 1t is believed they pulled for peace and settlement at every turn.
 Germany had no friend at Algeciras except Austria Hungary and France practically won all she contended for. She becomes the paramount power in Morocco. She will police four of the eight ports; Spain, two; France and Spain jointly the other two. In the bank to be established France will have the largest interest and voice. As France and Spain are allies in Mo rocco, backed by England, it is plain all that France needs is time, and the new settlement will give her that. She gains, too, prestige in Europe. All in all, the movement has proven vic tory for French diplomacy. for she is now seated in Morocco with nearly all the world behind her. She will stay there as long as England stays in Egypt The settlement is not only satisfactory to France, but to all the rest of mankind, the Kaiser alone ex- cepted.

Confederate Reunion Assured.

Adjt.-Gen. William E. Mickle of the staff of the United Confederate Veter- ans says New Orleans will make am pie financial provision for the reunion to be held there in April 25, 26 and 27, and that it will be a brilliant success. People in vast numbers are expected from all parts of the country, for, as General Mickle says. the order em- braces the whole country. In New York city alone there are 40,000 Confederate Veterans, or the Sons of Veterans.
 The coming New Orleans reunion is expected to be the grandest gathering of the wearers of the gray of the entire series. All reports to the contrary are erroneous, for New Orleans will leave nothing undone to entertain in the best style the veterans and their sons and daughters in the coming reunion.

To Save the Boys.

T am glad to sec" said a prominent citizen of Birmingham yesterday, that the police department Is giving evidence of good faith in its expressed determina- ton te keep miners out of pool rooms. saloons and other places where the law has said they shall not visit.
 There is no duty that the members of the force can perform that Is of greater importance than this one. It Is worth more to the social welfare of Birmlng- ham to save one young boy of good breed ing, intelligence and future possibilities of usefulness from evil influences than it could be to raid thousand 5lcent negro crap games. If l had a boy between 15 and 20 years of age who started out to make practice of hanging around sa- looms l sincerely believe that l had just about as soon see him go to his grave. for there would be nothing but trouble, if not disgrace. to expect from him if he lived. The men who enacted the laws to protect young boys were fathers them selves and knew what they were doing |"

Wonderful Difference.

"T was in Atlanta several days ago and I could not help comparing that city now and what it was forty years ago when l passed through it." said Capt. J. Lawler Darby of Camp Hardee yesterday. "On my way home from AppomattoN In May, 65 walking almost the entire distance, I passed through Atlanta and saw the city in ashes. Today 1t is beautiful city with handsome homes, tall buildings, the finest hotel I ever saw-the Piedmont scores of industries, a commodous pas senger station and big commercial and banking houses.
 'I walked into barber shop in At lanta and sat in chair. The negro com meneed shaving me without soap and I protested.
 :: Don't you want those dark spots and wrinkles taken out of your facet? said the negro. Now I am an old man and that appealed to me somewhat. The negro then said. We make young men out of old men in Atlanta and I thought it H. lustrated the spirit of the city.

MRS. READER AGAIN TO FRONT.
Wants Statae Department to Collect
 $5,2oo,oo0 From Peru.

Special to the Times Democrat.
 New York-The World says: Mrs Ella Rawls Reader. who year ago stirred efforts to bring about a peace treaty be- tween the United States and Santo Do- mingo, is now engaged in a litle lawsuit against the government of Peru.
 As president of the Cerro de Pasco Tun- nel and mining company, Mrs. Reader. through Forbes J. Hennesy, her lawyer. has sent to Secretary of State Root a re- quest to start collecting s5,2O0.O0O as Ham. ages which she alleges the compdny has ments refusal to protect the mining con. cerns rights.
 The action Is the outcome of deal bS which the tunnel company in 1902 pur. chased from the Andes Mining comps,ny which is backed by the J. B. Haggin sin. dicate, some copper smelling machinery stored at Callao. Peru. The contraEct prices was $25OOO. of which the tunnte company was to pay $l0,O00 town. TlSt rest was secured by note.
 Mrs. Reader alleges that, although the $10,00O was paid over at the stipulated time, the Andes company failed to delivej the property. Appeal to the Peruviars courts resulted in the orders to the Andes company to comply with the contract but Mrs. Reader alleges, these orders were never carried into effect. She de- clares that the Andes company, by the connivance of the courts and of officials in the Peruvian government, some of whom are said to be in the pay of the Andes concern, has prevented the tunr Vi company from using the smeting appa N tus, and that determined effort has been made to drive her and her husband, whb have been in Peru on various oceasion5 from conducting any mining businet, there.

From the New York Mail.
 Mark Twain, in his Hast and best of life. for which the first was made" seems to be advancing rapidly to a po- sition which makes him a kind of joint Aristides, solon and Themistocles of the American metropols-an Aristides for justness and boldness as well as inces- sancy of opinion, a Solon for wisdom and cogency. and a Themistocles for the democracy of his views and the popu- larity of his person.
 Things have reached the point where if Mark Twain is not at a public meeting or banquet. he is expected 4o console it with one of his inimitable letters of ad- vice and encouragement. If he deigns to make public appearance there is a throng at the doors which over taxes the energy and ability of the police. Mark Twain and Booker Washington in conjunction recently not only filled Car negie hall but choked up the lower end Of Central Park with back-water crowd and caused no less than ten riots be- tween importunate philanthropsts of both sexes in evening clothes and inhos- pitable police officers.
 The variety of the interests which Mark Twain Is expected to patronize is illustrated by the fact that while he was was stimulating contributions for the blind at the Waldorf Astoria, the other evening, by telling how he and Rev. Joe Twitchell got lost in a big room fin a German inn, a letter of his was being read at a revolutionary meeting at the Grand Central Palace exhorting the peo- pie of Russia to rebel and make czars aud grand dukes scarce in that country. In this case it-is to be observed that his Themistoeean influence had broken through the boundaries of his own coun- try. Czars and grand dukes may regard the solemn Tolstoi and the decadent different when Mark Twain unlimbers the guns of his humor and sarcasm.
 In all seriousness--or at any rate in as much seriousness as the subject natural ly suggests--we must be glad that we have a public commentator like Mark Twain always at hand, and his wit and wisdom continually on tap. There is more illumination in him today than there is in forty eminent college presidents. all together, who could be named. -.4ien he breaches the pulpit takes back seat His sound. breezy Mississippi valley Americanism Is a corrective to all sorts of snobbery. He cultivates respect for human rights by always making sure that he has his own.

GETTING A CREW FOR A INHALER.

In Harper's Magazine for April, Cliff ford w. Ashley, the artist who recently made a trip in an old-fashioned whaler for the Magazine tells entertainingly of the difficulties of finally getting the crew together and aboard ship.

 They ask only opportunity. and op- pertunity is the torch of darkness. They crave no charity, no pension, but the sat fsfaction that comes from lucrative toii. and this satisfaction is the right of every human being.
 At your meeting New York will sneak It's word for the blind. and when New York speaks the world listens. The true message of New York is not commercial ticking and busy teegraphs. but thy ni'ghtier utterances of such gatherings as yours.
 "of late our periodicals have been flied with the depressing revelations of great social evils. Querulous critics have point- ed to every flaw in our civic structure, We have listened long enough to pessIm- ists.
 You once told me you were a pes ist, MT. Clemens. but great men us, are mistaken about themselves: Yo, an optimist. If you are uot you v not preside at the meeting For it answer to pessimism.

Howard College Fund.

President A. P Montague has done great work for Howard college, for he has well nigh secured $75,000, to which will be added s25OO0 given by John D. Rockefeller, making an endowment of $10O,000.
 There are larger endowments in the land, but not one that Is more needed not one that will fit better than the one started by Dr. Montague. This fund will put Howard college on firm basis, and perhaps after while 1t will be doubled. In the long run 1t should be carried to a million dollars.
 The starting of an endowment fund is the most difficult stage of the pro cess, and this has been, or soon will be, handsomely accomplished through Dr. Montagues personal efforts among the Baptist congregations of this state. This large and energetic denomination cannot afford to let Howard college languish, and it is plain 1t does not in tend to let it lapse into a condition of weakness or inefficiency.

FORTY-NINER Ifs THE SENATE.
From the Worlds Work.

ffDiu the W Orlu w Ork.
 Senator Pettus. of Alabama. was sev- enty-five when he entered the senate and he was spurred to become candidate by the injudicious criticism of an old friend. Senator Pugh. It was during Mir. Clevelands second term that Mir. pettus sought an appointment as district United States attorney in Alabama He asked Senator Pugh's aid. He was then sev- enty-two but Senator Pugh declined to commend him. because he was too old.
 Maybe I am too old for the office mentioned he replied, ''but I am not too old to go to the United States senate, and l serve notice on you now that shall be your successor"
 The campaign began at once. When the legislature met, Mr. Pettus was elected
 Senator Pettus is lawyer he served on the bench, he was ''Forty-niner," and he is veteran of two wars. He came out of the Mexican war lieuten- ant He had fought on foot. in the sad dle, in the open and in the chaparral. After this, when the cry of Gold in California; started caravans across the continent, he made the journey from his state on horseback, and returned in the same way-two years later. Then he was elected to the bench In the civil war he took up the sword for the south. When he went to the field he was a major. When he came back he was a brigadier- general When Grant invested Vicksburg in 1868 General Pettus was within the beleaguered city. Grant had captured a redoubt which threatened the capture of the town. Only the retaking of the re- doubt would save it. General Pember- ton called for volunteers to storm the stronghold. The force was put in com mand of Pettus. He took it and held it. Serrr-or Pettus was born when Munroe was president: he was a grown man when Clay and Webster and Calhoun were in the senate; and when the great Webster and Hayne debate took place he was nine years old: Thus his life has spanned larger period of stirring events than any other man now in a conspicuous place .n our political life.

 The attitude of Birmingham toward Vulcan recalls the title of one of Bulwer's novels: What will he do with it?'' This titantic representative of Birmingham in dustries at the Worlds fair. and the sym bol of her wealth and its origin, and whose construction cost her citizens thousands of dollars, goes begging for a place to rear his head. instead of being sacredly honored among the fares and penates'' of our mineral metropolis.

Mobile Registers Mrs Gielow proposes that the monument to southern women that is projected by Athe sons of veterans, take the shape of an industrial school for white boys of the south. The proposal has merit. in that a school of this sort would confer continual benefit upon the south, and would at the same time be a memorial worthy of the women who made such noble sacrifices during the great war between the states.

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
A Good Proposition.

"All this talk about advanced religious thought" said a Georgian at the Metro politan last night. reminds me of an in cident that happened in Rome, Georgia. a few years ago.
 Robert G. Ingerso was advertised to speak there and good orthodox old country woman decided that she would go and hear him just to see what he had to say She got her religious seru- ples reconciled to the sinful act. found the price of a ticket and went in early and bought a front seat. Ingersol. after the usual lecture preliminaries. picked Up a copy of the Bible and read three or four of the most puzzling passages from the sacred history. He laid the book down and said
 My friends, how can we believe that such improbable things are the word of God and the truth of history? Why, he continued dramatically. striking the volume with his fist, give me six months and l can write a better book than this myself
 This was too much for the good old sister and she rose from her seat, pushed her sun bonnet back about midway her head and looking the lecturer straight in the face said:
 Well. Bob, if ye kin ye had better get at 1t, fur there's money in it.
 If these advanced thought preachers can write a better religion than that learned at my mothers knees out of the Psalms and the gospels and the epistles, l will certainly want a copy of the book. "

BIRMINGHAM BALL TEAM.

From the Bessemer Rustler.
 For the first time since the preskn, Southern league was organized Biim3ne. ham has a team that can be deperbded upon to stay in the first division and leive the pennant winner run for his manev
 In 1904 We had better team thsh this year, but would not play ball together and when team won't play together they can't win it does not ,1i1atter how many individual stars thegs may be on the team Harry vaugs..xff took the same bunch that oBrie had kept at the bottom and werK sailing up to the first division. :, mad Harry been manager the entire year he would have won the pen nant
 Last year we again had divisions in the ranks that resulted in mutiny bt- bore the close of the season and this year the Rustler hopes that every dis satisfied player on the team will be re- leased at once. It is far better to have green cross lot ball player that will try to play ball than grumpy booze fighting professional.
 The third base is the only real weakness that we now see in the team and Monty may round into shape yet, and If he does there is no better ball player in the game. But the question is can BirminG ham take the chancesg Let Monty" be utility man for while and put AlcoclS on third sack for a change. M
