 N NEW YORK newspaper published WV yesterday a snapshot of two wo- men evidently taken against their will, for one of them had her hand before her face, and the others features were was this line, "Poillon sisters evading eff forts of photographers" Under what cir cumstances the photograph was secured we gather from our own columns of the day before: Mrs. Poillon made a dash and grabbed the representative of one paper by the vest His camera went to the ground At the same moment her sister rushed to the other photographer. She deftly caught him a blow in the face which sent him reeling.'
 It goes without saying that photogra- phers should be in better business than bounding defenseless women and compell- ing them to take to their heels-or their that newspaper should be in better busi- ness than setting it's bright young men" at tasks which subject them to we'll earned kicks and cuffs? Is it so much of an achievement to hold up woman in the street and photograph her against her will that any newspaper should pub fish the visual evidence of her humiliation and it's brutality?
 This Is simply awful" Miss Roosevelt said, when she had to run the gauntlet of camera men on her shopping tour in this

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews in his Wall street letter Of Saturdays date says:
 "The tired feeling in the stock mar ket which began about month ago IS daily becoming more pronounced and rapidly developing into a more decloeo downward tendency. Stocks have been steadily sold by insiders on all good news this being particularly noticeable since announcement of the copper merger ana the increase in Union Pacific dividend Following both of these events the mar ket became weak and dull, demonstrat- ing that, as usual, their good effect had heen fully discounted in advance The truth is it Is impossible to find new bull argument which has not already been overdscounted, and the conviction grows that the boom Is over, for the present at least. Investors will not buy stocks at present figures and the shrewd- CT class of large holders have been stead fly emptying their strong boxes into the laps of big speculators and plungers, who have been the chief buyers and supporters of the market at recent fic- titious values. and who must now carry the load as best they can. For some time to come the drift of the market will be back to normal conditions. This is as it should be.
 Among the most adverse features is the monetary situation. There is plenty of money available for really good in vestments at reasonable prices, as is demonstrated by the freedom with which capital is flowing into real estate and other forms of new enterprise. At the same time the bank reserves at New York are lower than for twenty years at this time and that at time when they ought to be strengthening to meet the de- mands incidental to April l. It need cause no surprise if we see some uncomfort- able moments in the money market be- fore the next six weeks have expired" !"

 NM OMEN with red hair are at a A0J premium in Chicago. That w fact was developed yesterday when representative men and represen- tative women were asked to express themselves upon the statement made by Congressman Stanley in the House of Representatives on Monday
 What would you do if you saw man beating his wife?" asked Representative Gaines.
 That depends on the man and the woman. If she was red headed even my southern chivalry would not tempt me to interfere" answered Congressman Stan ley.
 Chicago men and women resented that statement. No one could be found who would support 1t or for a moment counte- nance 1t.
 "The red headed woman is never in the police court" said Justice Caverly of the Harrison street police court.
 She's an excellent business woman, said H. M. Davis, assistant manager of The Fair.
 She's the most charming woman in so- ciety," attested Mrs. Charles Henrotin
 "She possesses more artistic tempera- ment than her sister," said Carl King stage manager at the La Sale theatre.
 She's an ideal philanthropist,' added Miss Jane Addams
 'grhe congressman comes from the south where there are no red headed women, v said Dr. w. A. Evans.
 What would you do if you saw man whipping his wife?" was asked of Justice Caverly.
 "Take the wife's part. Arrest the man and fine him the limit.
 ''If she had red hair?'
 .What's that got to do with it?' queried the justice.
 "Congressman Stanley of Kentucky says he would not interfere if she had red hair"
 .In the language of the diplomat, beg 1aave to differ with the distinguished gen. tIeman. In the words of the newsboy don't think he knows where he gets on. The day when men can crack jokes at the expense of the red headed woman has passed.
 .sYou don't see her in the police court. That's one proof she isn't as pad as the funny men paint her. Either that or she does the job so thoroughly that her victim

AtIanta's Fourth Daily.

T see that John Temple Graves is to launch the fourth daily newspaper fin Atlanta" said an old newspaper man last night.
 From time to time during the past twenty years number of attempts were made to get third daily on it's feet in Atlanta All failed signally until the News was started about three years ago MT. Graves personality has had a great deal to do with the success of the News but it seems to have reached point where it can stand alone and believe that 1t will continue to grow and prosper
 q cannot see room in Atlanta for four daily papeps and l am of the opinion that it will take considerable more than any mans personality to make fourth oallY succeed. However, Atlanta, with its many failures in the past in the journal lstic field, is a good newspaper town and my hat is off to John Temple Graves who has the courage to make the effort

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

From the New York Press.
 Maybe if women had talking circles they would do some sewing.
 Lots more people would be honest if there was any money to DC made by 1t.
 There is hardly anything that troubles one more than looking for it and not finding 1t.
 When you ask a man to drink he knows you are mean because you expect him to ask you to have another.
 The more men a girl thinks she has been in love with, the harder 1t is going to hit her when 1t really happens.

STATE POLITICS

West Blocton Messenger: There now seems very little doubt that former Gov ernor Joseph F. Johnston will make the race for alternate United States sena- tor With John B. Knox ex-Gov. William c. Oates and Col. Dick Clarke all in the race, we may look for a breezy, bril- liant campaign. They are all intellectual giants and fine orators.
 Selma Times: This district has right to be proud of its congressman MT Bowie is not making any grand stand play but an observer of events cannot fail to note that he is always on the spot, cool. alert and well prepared when any question affecting the interests of his people comes up. His recent article in the Independent on the question of the reduction of the south's representa- ton in Congress was clear, lucid and logical It presented the entire question in a terse, non-partisan way that Is bound to appeal to all fair minded men who read il.
 Carbon Hill Enterprise Democrat: It appears that there is going to be a full crop of candidates out for the alternate senatorship. There are several gentlemen in the state who wanted to run for Uni ted States senator straight, but the ao- tion of the state committee nipped said aspirations in the bud. The committee virtually said that Senators Morgan and Pettus must have no opposition, and a man who would enter the race under the circumstances would be practically a bolter.

isn't able to secure a warrant. The women who give the officers the most trouble are the ones with the black hair. should say there are ten brunettes in the police court for every blonde. sAnd there are fifty golden haired women there for one who has red hair.
 And when one comes it is upon some trivial offense. You don't hear of red headed women committin gmurder Usu- ally red headed woman possesses con- siderable temper. It isn't the kind that broods and broods until the slight of fense Is magnified into something serious. If she has anything on her mind she says 1t. The next moment she has for gotten or has asked for pardon. If all women could have their hair dyed red and change their temperament at the same time I'm afraid some of the judges would be seeking new positions.
 What would you do if you saw a man beating his wife?" was asked of MT. Davisa of The Fair.
 Well. I'd do what could to assist the woman," was the answer.
 "Even if she had he'd hair?h
 whats that?" It was evident MT. Davis didn't quite understand.
 "Congressman Stanley of Kentucky says he wouldn't interfere if a man was beating his wife if she had red hair"
 Well, the red headed women do pretty well at this place. answered MT. Davis
 Make good salegirls?"
 'Excellent You see, red headed girl can adapt herself quickly. It doesn't make any difference whether she is asked to sen neckties in the mems department or whether she is told to fill position in the women's underwear department. She sells one with the same success as the other.'
