One night last week, a strange
man who spoke Spanish fuently
called at the home of an old Mex
lean curandera" near the Rio
Grande station generally known as
Dofia Amalia," and asked for her.
Being told that she was sick, he
handed her husband a large bundle,
saying he wished to leave it for
her, and would let her know about
it Sunday, and then disappeared.
The bundle, on being opened.
proved to contain a little, new
born babe, which was all swaddled
in blankets. The stranger has not
been heard of since, and it looks
as if Dofia Amalia must perforce
adopt the.little one. She is a very
kind hearted soul, and, although
poor is already sharing her home
and daily bread with three little
children whose parents are unable
to provide for them. The babe is
apparently of Mexican parentage.

TEACHERS OF LAMAR
THEY WILL BE ALLOWED A sPEC-
 IAL EXAMINATION.
Attorney GenernI Holds That They should he Given This Privilege Owing to Fire Which De-
 stroyed Answers.

After consultation with Attorney General Massey Wilson. Hon. Isaac w. Hill. State Superintendent of Educa- tion. determined yesterday to order another examination of applicants for teachers certificates at Vernon, Lamar county, where all the papers of the County Superintendent were destroyed by fire an the night of January {. The second examination will begin not later than February 1.
 The State Superintendent of Educa- ton was in a dilemma on account of the misfortune of the Lamar County Superintendent, The fire destroying his residence consumed all the an- swers taken up from applicants dur ing the regular mid-winter examina- tion ending January
 The education statutes of Alabama are specific on the question of teachers combinations and provides that In nn county shall an examination be held that begins later than January I.
 Confronted with these circumstances which could hardly be met by the law. Superintendent Hill hesitated for two or three days in taking any action whatever. He could not see any other power clearly defined than to allow the applicants of Lamar to stand a spe- cial examination at the capitol in MontRomery whenever they chose. This would necessitate the payment of an extra fee of s.
 On heinz consulted in reference to the matter the Attorney General gave the opinion that the applicants were entitled to an examination semi-annual- ly in the county seat. He construed the Lamar county situation In the light that no examination was held inasmuch as the papers collected January 2 never reached the State Board of Examiners and were consequently not graded He added that it was nothing hut fair and right" that another examination should be granted.
 Aetfng on this opinion. Superinten- dent FFili yesterday directed letter to County Superintendent S. H. Har- ris, of Lamar. to prepare for a second tion, more properly. not later than Feb ruarv l. Notice will be given to the applicants in time to appear on the date that will be found more conven- tent prior to that date.
 As the only grades applied for Ian uary l-3 in Lamar county were secon'i and thirds the examination will last only two days and 1t will he held at Vernon. The applicants who take advantage of this arrange ment will be required to pay no extra fee. being given credit for the fees paid in advance of the examination which was nulIffied. The County Super intendent will of course, be held &C., countable for the fees collected orig inally and destroyed in hfs fire.
 No printed questions will be used in the coming examination as the Board of Examiners, of which Superintendent Hill Is the ex-0fficio President. has decided to furnish only a single copy to MT. Harris who will copy them on a black hoard.
 Unless the applicants avail them selves of this opportunity. they will have to come to Montgomery. as they are always privileged to do for a special examination. or wait until July 1. the date of the summer examina tions.

 This determination was reached t"day at a conference at the White House m which beside the President Secretary Taft. Chair man Shonts of the Isthmian Canal Commit tee, John F. Stevens Chief Engine-r of the canal and Civi Service Commissioner Cool ey were the participants.
 For year there has been Q great deal of friction between the Canal Commission and the Civil Service C ccn,mission as 70 the ap- pIication oS the civil service laws as to reg ulation of the employees of canal construction work Both Chairman Shonts and Chief Englneeer Stevens maintained that they ought to have authority to employ men whom they needed without reference to the civil service rules IT a measure they have exercised that authority notwithstanding the protests of the civil service commission.
 Last week a direct difference prose be- tween the two commissions. that appeared likely to result in s'. embarrassing condition of affairs. The conference today was by direction of the President.
 Secretary Taft announced the conclusions reached and added that they were quite sat- sfactory to Commissioner Cooley as well as to the canal officials.
