EngIes Growlnr Fewer.

The eagle has grown scarce in the British Isles. The eggs of the bird grow yearly higher priced. A couple of eggs from Scotland recently brought sl0 apiece. An old rrecod states that in the seasons lSSl@ 'S4, inclusive no fewer than III mature specimens of the eagle, together with fifty three young and eggs, were destroyed in d single county of Scotland-sutherIand from which statement one can well imagine the cruel havoc that has been wrought in the ranks of a once very common bird of prey. No one denies that the eagle IS destructive to game and lambs, but 1t seems a pity that so noble a bird should be so utterly wiped out of existence. for the eagle has many interesting associations with the past In Scotland a century or two back three eagles feathers were the badEe of a chief two of a chieftan and one of gentleman; but more interesting still is the fact that the flesh of the eagle was con- sidered in the seventeenth century "a val- uable medicine against the gout." The same authority also states that the bird was sometimes eaten by the hardy Highlander aS part of his ordinary. diet,

HOLDINGS OF GOULD.
Took s1 ,OOO,OOO Of Western Maryland Stock fO Accommodate a Friend.


 New York, April 11.-George J.! Gould, chairman of the board of direc- tors of the Wabash Railroad. testified in court in Brooklyn today that he has about $1500,0OO invested in the stocks and bonds of the Western Mary land Railroad. Mir. Gould said also that he took $1,000,000 worth of the securities as a personal favor to his attorney, Winslow s. Pierce. the presl- dent of the Western Maryland Com pany. The testimony was given for the defense in the suit brought by Mengies against General Louis Fitz- gerald to recover $1,000.000 in commits sions as alleged promoter of the sale of the Western Maryland Railroad to the Fuller syndicate.
 Mir. Baker, said Mir Gould. had subscribed for sl,000.0OO of stock and. withdrew without taking it. leaving MT. Pierce. who was one of the man. agers of the Fuller syndicate, in an embarrassing position.
 q went in purely as an act of friend ship to MT. Pierce. Afterward reports were circulated of my purchase of Reading stock. buying the control of the stock, and I think the reports were put in circulation to prevent the city of Baltimore from selling the Vest ern Maryland road to the syndicate Previous to that time I had no desire to hook up the Western Maryland ana the West Virginia Central roads with the Wabash system. As a matter or fact, these two railroads are not now tied up to the Wabash"

MAKES NO ALLOWANCE.

The following complaint was read to the Railroad Commission last Tues day at its regular meeting:
 My time costs my house s10 per day. If a train is scheduled to leave Selma at a certain time and I transact my business to leave at that time and that train hangs around some station For one hour and twenty minutes as IS that time. mes my house?, the raii- road that does 1t? or the Railroad Com mission that allows and abets such in- run % on time. ''"S' W. y, Collins
 It was confidently predicted by some of his supporters that when MT. Conner was elected President of the Railroad Commission that he would cause the trains son all Alabama railroads to run on schedule time. regardless of wind. storm or wreck. or any other mishap or impeachment. In fact it was thought that he was so powerful that the elements could not antagonize him. Possibly, if he, was elected Governor. the streams would never overflow the banks. the bridges would be immune from flood. fire or any other disaster. But 1t is apparent that in the plain capacity of Railroad Commissioner MT. Conner does not possess the superhu- man powers indicated. Still in ref erence to the above complaint he rav- ed and stormed and asserted that rail- roads in Texas were always on time and that it was pity that the Commis- sion did not have power to make all railroads in Alabama run on schedule.

Wrong Position.

Mobile Register
 William Lloyd Garrison said at Tus- kegee that ito teach man to vote is to put the ballot into his hands" Looks like an axiom. doesn't it? Yet we do not teach men to vote that way-no matter what the man is. white or col ored. If he is native born he has to become full grown. 21 years of age, although he is taught other things thar voting. beginning at years of age. We do not put the ballot into his hands until he has learned it's value, l. e.. how to vote. The same as to foreigners who may be full grown and well edu- cated They must live here q period of time and learn how to vote before they are trusted with the ballot. The Re- publican Party ignored this salutary rule when 1t gave the ballot to the negroes without first educating them in the use of 1t, The consequence was that the negroes made such bad use of it that it had to be taken away from them. They can acquire it again only by first learning how to use it. And that is just to others interest, and the best thing for the negroes.

SIDEWALK PENCILINCS
The Mosquito Theory.

T notice" said a citizen yesterday,
 that the mosquito theory in regard to yellow fever Is completely borne out n an official health report recently published from the Isthmian Canal Zone. where the disease is said to be common. The health ofiicer is confi- dent that hlth does not contribute to the spread of yellow fever and mala- rial lever. although 1t may be sanitary Tn other respects. He cites the time when the Government spent months in Cuba. employing thousands of people in cleaning up unclean places. and says that though this was done. 1t did not stop the fever from spreading. hut as soon as the health authorities turned their attention to cisterns and stagnant pools of water. where mosquitoes are preceded, there was great decrease in the disease
 Tt has now come to be pretty we'll established that the mosquito theory Is the only solution of yellow fever epidemics.. firmly believe in the the-- ory and I believe that, on account of this triumph of modern science. the time for yellow fever epidemics of any great magnitude has passed.

LET THE PRESS TRY.

No one knows whether the Birmfng- ham court bill will be vetoed or not, and will not know until the President acts. The Montgomery Bar, which pro- tested against the Birmingham bill. continued it's committee and directed it ito cooperate with the other bars to secure the passage of the bill for an additional judge" and earnestly re- quested our Senators and Representa- lives to do all in their power" to se- cure the passage of the bill recommend ed by our State Bar Association, as the only feasible or just remedy for the overcrowded state of the dockets Ala bama has only two judges, who are re- quired to hold court twice year, in seven different places. as follows: Mo- bile, Selma. Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, Birmingham and Huntsville At all these places, It was shown, when the hearing was had before the Judi ciary Committee, that the number of cases pending was as follows: in the Northern District, criminal cases, 2l9; Middle District 311: Southern District
 
 301; Middle District 57; Southern Dis trict 3T. Including 10 admiralty cases equity cases in the Southern District 30 in the Middle District; 57 in the Northeri District. In the whole State there were 1,039 criminal. law and equity cases, and an average of 1,226 bankruptcy cases year, making to- f,V 2 ac familiar with the trial of cases in our courts. know that a single case some times consumes eight or ten days in it's trial, some, taking even a longer time The people need relief everywhere. The effort to get this relief. ought not to be subordinated to fears about who may be appointed judge. or a desire to get the judge from any particular local ity, As the lawyers and our Represen- tatives in Congress have been unable to get another judge, it occurs to The Advertiser that better success might attend their efforts next time, if the press earnestly took up the matter. It might get our brethren of the press in other States to help us with their Rep resentatives.
 The time of meeting for the United States Courts in the Middle and North ern Districts, as fixed by acts of Con- gress, are as follows: Huntsville: first Tuesday in April and second Tuesday in October: Birmingham: first Tuesday in March and November Anniston: first Monday in May and November: Tuscaloosa: first Tuesday in January and June; Monts somery: first Tuesday in May and December. The same judge is required to open court at the same time in the spring a Anniston and Montgom- cry. and in the fall. at the same time in Birmingham and Anniston. February is the only month in the year which is not specifically fixed by some of the acts for the opening of court some where in these five places. It is no wonder that Judges Jones and Toulmin. in their protest sent to Speaker Can pon, said. that the Birmingham bIn will deprive us of much needed dlscre- ten. and unnecessarily hamper the administration of justice in other To- calitias"

One Charles F. Dole springs a new proposition on the country and on Con- gross. Referring to the famine and suffering in Japan. and to the prcposi- tion now before Congress to spend ten million dollars on great war-ship. he suggests that;
 We ask Congress to pass a self manity for which our President Is so jealous. Let us give up the. glory or the splendid ship and directly appro- lrlate it's cost to the Japanese people in their time of need. This vast sum would accomplish something by the way of definite relief. It might even move the Japanese authorities also to cut of some of the colossal estimates which they are making for their army and navy in favor of their needy peo- Die, Who knows that the Br itish gov ernment moved by so novel an example, might not likewise devote as much as the cost of gun boat for the needs of suffering people, either in Japan or in their own Empire of India?
 From the standpoint of humanity and charity towards the suffering the idea is a good one. but we doubt If Mir. Dole himself even hopes that it will be adopted. Better that millions of human beings should die Of hunger than that we should delay building a battle-ship that will overtop and overawe the na tions of the earth. is about the view that the big-navyites will take of it. What Is sentiment, humanity, charity, compared with a big navy? MT. Dole Is too good for the powers that be to be influenced by ;.

The RennhIican Party.

NaSnlnRtOn Post. -
 The Republican party of Tennessee is split wide open. and there is noth- ing strange in that condition of things; Ii exists in every Southern State, and it is the legitimate fruit of the South- ern policy of the Republican party ever since tn" untimely death of Abraham Lincoln. There was hope that things would mend under MT. Roosevelt, but that hope has been disappointed,
 The fact is that thPre is no real ke- publican party at tAe South. though there are many excellent citizens there who adhere to that party; but there can be no Republican party at the South until the Republican administra- tion changes it's policy. At the North appointments are dictated by public opinion. At the South offices are con ferred on the favortes of local bosses. At the North man must be elected to office before he becomes an adviser or the President At the south to become an adviser of the President man must be defeated for oface: at least that Is the rule with the usual excep- tlouA

SaturdaY HaIf-Holiday.

The half-holiday on Saturday" idea has made it's way into Montgomery der the supervision of Capt. J. W. Black. gives its men half holidays on Saturday throughout the spring and summer.
 This is the first Montgomery concern to lead off In this cosmopolitan move nient. The practice is common in the larger cities of the country, but in the Southern cities it has never secured a firm foothold.
 Beginning last Saturday the men em- pioyed by the Southern Cotton Oil Com pany will have from i o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday for recreation. It is a boon that is appreciated to it's fullest by the men who get the bene- fits. It is possible that there may be a general agitation along this line be- fore the summer is very old.
