The way San Franciscans are pitch
ing in and clearing up their city pre-
paratory to rebuilding is admirable.
Debris is being removed from the
streets to make room for piles Of
building material. walls about to
fall are being RACED by dynamite, and
temporary trolley poles are being
erected. Such energy in the face of
what appear to be almost insuperable
odds, speaks well for the future of
new San Francisco.

OLD DOCUMENT
IS UNEARTHED
Ancient History Relative to
Railroad Building in
Indiana.
HOW RICHMOND FIGURED
THE VANDALiA ROAD ORIGINALLY
WAS TO HAVE BEEN BUILT
FROM TERRE HAUTE TO RICH
MOND.
Palladium Special.J

Indianapolis, April 24.-Interes sting
family" history is being unearthed by
Frank l. Grubbs, deputy Secretary of
State, in going through the filing
cases in that Office.
In gathering up the papers connect
ed with the Vandalia railroad, Mr.
| Grubbs has found some facts that are
of interest to the public. He has dis
| covered that the road was incorpor-
ated originally as the Terre Haute C
Richmond Railroad Company, for the
purpose of building railroad from
Terre Haute to Richmond. The in
| corporation was effected by a special
act of the Legislature, passed January
26, 1S47. The road was built west of
Indianapolis, but nothing was done on
the east end
Divides Original Company.
In February, 1851, according to a
paper discovered by Mr.. Grub, the
directors of the Terre Haute & Rich
mond Company held a meeting at Cen
terville, and adopted a resolution di-
viding the original company into two
parts, one to be known as the Terre
Haute & Indianapolis and the other
as the Central Indiana Railroad Com
pany. The former was to be the legal
successor to the Terre Haute & Rich
mond, and was to own the line then
in operation between indianapolis and
Terre Haute. The Central Indiana
was to build a line from Indianapolis
to Richmond. 1t may be said in pass
ing however, that the latter plan was
never carried out, and the road to
Richmond never was built by that COM
pany.

Dry Weather in Alabama.

Out of seventeen reporting stations in this state eight reported showers last week, but those showers were short in scope and in quantity The state as a whole needs rain. "The earth" says the Montgomery weather man, "is crusting and a general rain would be beneficial.
 Rains are nearly always beneficial in the hot months, but one at the pres ent time is extremely desirable, be- cause 1t would start all crops forward, thus taking them out of the tender and critical germinating period.
 At this writing the weather Is sur charged with change, and possibly present conditions will bring on the general rain that the Montgomery weather clerk calls for. Outdoor work is we'll advanced in all parts of this state, and if the weather clerk will attend closely to business every culti- vated acre-something over five mil lions-will be started towards pro ductivity in handsome manner.

WHEN WRITERS FAILED.
San Franclsco's Calamity Was Too
 Much for Word-Painters.
From the Indianapolis Star.

From the Indianapolis Star
 As a rule newspaper men are equal to all the emergencies that arise in their profession. Floods, fires, calamities, acci- dents, murders unusual happenings Of every sort are commonly reported by them with as much thoroughness and at tention to detail as the commonplace events of everyday life In fact, special
 demand of this sort Is likely to act as an inspiration. Sleep and rest and bodily comfort are forgotten until their assign ments are covered, their task done; and often the stories they write of the affair under observation are far more effective productions in a literary and descriptive way than their ordinary work. though they are written under stress of haste and excitement and surrounding turmoil.
 In short, the reporters rise to the oc- casion and display their highest powers when emergency calls.
 But that there may be circumstances
 that are overwhelming even to newspa- per men is indicated by the fact that they
 failed in San Francisco. It is true that press associations did their duty and sent the bare facts over the wires; this was all that could be expected. It Is also true that the burned-out newspapers rallied their forces and jointly printed two-page
 paper next day; but not then nor yet has any reporter or professional writer-and San Francisco has its share of such men of high repute-produced anything more than the most commonplace record of facts. Even Jack London, a writer much given to striking word pictures, failed with the rest. Himself an eye witness of all the events of the terrible days, his story is far from impressive.
 Some surprised comment has been made over this fact that no great or adequate
 description of the tremendous scenes has yet appeared, but there Is no room for
 wonder after all. Reporters, just gone to their beds, after their nights work on
 the morning papers, rose to see the great newspaper offices destroyed in a moment; they saw the fire begin to sweep over the city and felt the repeated trembling of the earth; they had their own dear ones to take to places of safety, and 1t was an emergency when personal interest rose
 above professional duty. It was to them, as to others, no doubt, as if the end of
 the world had come and the common pur-
 suits of life mattered no more. They were in and of the turmoil and terror and could not detach themselves from it to be dispassionate observers and chroni- clers In the future, perhaps, their mem ories will be put into effective pictures.
 but they missed the opportunity when the memories were experiences and it is not a proper matter for surprise that this
 was so. The powers of earth and air were overwhelming to man in those awful days.

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY STAGE.

From the Fortnightly Review.
 Until 1762 the actor played on stage surrounded by fops and fine gentlemen, "urlick'd cubs of condition" as Cibber terms them. These persons, lolling in the wings, frequently interrupted the actors and occasionally fought with them. In 1721 a noble but drunken Earl standing in the wings during a performance of "Macbeth," crossed the stage to talk to a friend. Rich, the manager, expostulated with the nobleman for his breach of de- corun, and he promptly slapped the man. ager's face Thereupon Quin and two of the other actors drew their swords and drove the Earl and his friends from the stage. But the gentlemen, not to be defeated, rushed into the boxes, and, cut ting and slashing right and left, proceeded to destroy the furniturc they were only stopped from doing further damage by the resolute action of Cuin. who, calling the watch to his assistance, arrested the rioters and haled them before the mags- trates. A less disastrous instance of these curious interruptions was that of gem tleman who was so stirred by the beauty of Mrs. Woffington's performance of Cor della in King Lear that he could not refrain from coming on to the stage and embracing her in the sight of the au- dience.

Wheat Harvest of The World.

Down in Chile and in New Zealand the haryesters are started in the fields of golden grain in January, and from that time (, to the end of the year they are clicking and rattling in some part of a hungry but fruitful world. The bread supply is gathered in every month of the year. In March the har- vest is ready in India, Upper Egypt, Persia in April, in Asia Minor, and Lower Egypt; in May, in Texas, China, Japan, Central Asia, Algeria and Mo- rocco; in June, July and August the south half of Europe and all of the United States except the gulf states are in the harvest fields; in September and October wheat is falling before the busy knives of the machines in lne north half of Europe and in Can ada; in November South Africa is en- gagged in wheat gathering, and Bur nah, New South Wales, Australia and Argentina wind up the years record in December The big harvest months are the three summer months, how ever. but every other month contrib utes. cleverly to the aggregation.

6. 0. P. Troubles.

Julius w Davidson lays before Chair man Thompson of the republican state committee some interesting questions. He does this, too, in an open letter in stead of one signed and delivered In the mails of the government building. Open letters are often not only emoar- rassing, but as rule they mean war war. for example, between the Fair banksites and the Taftites, or what ever other 'ites" are in the field. All open letters in Alabama, we may De sure, point directly to the selection or delegates to the national convention in 1908. Nothing else is at stake. Nothing else of value is before the re- publican bosses of this state.
 MT. Davidson goes on to hint that the President has said that federal office-holding should be separated from party management, and to suggest pc. culiar things as to the makeup of the republican state committee, it's place of meeting and the like, but his most telling point reads, as follows:
 Again, it Is reported that an attempt will be made to base the representations fin the next state convention on popu- lation basis rather than on the votes cast for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. While this report is being continually circulated, do not believe 1t will be done, as It would not only be disfranchisement personifed, but is impracticable. If this plan is adopted it would give some counties per haps more delegates than they have re- publican voters. It would, therefore, be necessary to call upon some of cur demo- cratic friends to kindly act as delegates from those counties, and we should pc reluctant to call upon them this year, while they are so busy attending to press ing political affairs in their own party
 This Is a blow under the fifth rib. If seems a disclosure warranted to stir up the animals It is something that points to control when delegates are selected for the national convention in 1908 upon which all eyes are now "sot ''

Success of MT. Miller.

Birmingham friends of Frank Harvey Miller hear of his success in newspaper life in Montgomery with great pleasure, J said Capital City man today.
 MT. Miller went there four years ago from The Age-Herald to acquire an in- terest in the Montgomery Journal, which has grown steadily under his management. It is one of the best circulated papers in South Alabama and has a splendid patron age among the business men of its home city. The management has just installed new and modern Hoe press with all the latest attachments. and will be able to get out a better paper than ever.
 Along with the press has been f. up new stereotyping machinery and Dther accompaniments needed for the operation of the new machine. The paper already shows the effects of the change being heater and better printed. Mir. Miller has had entire control of the business man. agement ofsthe Journal and has made the paper a paying venture."

HYGlENlC LIMIT TO INVENTION.
From the Lancet.

From the Lancet.
 Until motor vehicles have wings we have heard it sad, they will always be an eyesore, an earsore and nosesore. While not prepared to accept mat view, at any rate, as a conditions of things cessorles of modern life in general are placing greater and greater strain on the faculties of the individual. Tis eyes are strained by the intense artificial lights his ears are worried by the unnecessarily din of the streets and his nose Is of tended by. the vaporization of offensive fumes of oil or by the fetid air of the tube That simpler life appeals to him more than ever which removes him from the maddening sphere of the inventors activities.
 Still. after all, the human machine is wonderful in it's power of adapting Itself to a new environment, and just as few now look upon the railway, as was for merly the case as a really offensive in- vention, so in time to come the present distresses inflicted upon us by modern ingenuity win gradually disappear, partly by the process of adaptation and partly by improvements resulting in mitigation of the kind of evils referred to.
 One thing at least may be said. and that is on no account should a modern invention be tolerated, however conven- tent. it may be in one direction, unless 1t satisfies hygienic requirements.

 The teamster who drives through the streets with dirt sitting through cracks in his wagon or falling from the running gear. where it was left after dumping The smoker who throws c,gar or cisare' stubs, cigaret boxes. tobacco sacks or burned matches to the pavement.
 The man who mows his lawn and throws the grass into the street or alley rha woman who is neat and tidy al home. but who drops theatre programmes candy boxes and equally offensive things on the street.
 The man who reads letter. tears 1t up and throws the pieces on the pavement. The fruit vendor who throws tissue paper wrappers, banana stems and refuse Into the gutter in front of his stand.
 The ice cream merchant who places freezers on the curb and lets briny water

 The conduit digger who never pretends to clean the street after tearing up the pavement.
 The store clerk who does his sweeping out after the streets have been cleaned The man who repairs buildings and throws the refuse in the street.
 The drivers of meat wagons who litter the streets with brown paper.
 The man who gathers garbage from residences and restaurants and scatters Il about.
 The billboards, which are constantly dis' carding slabs of old posters.

els. This country and Canada fur nish & little more than one-quarter Of the total. Europe is, after all, the bread-producing section of the world, for it supplies more than one-half of the total. Europe and the Americas fill nearly all mouths with bread, al though Asia, Africa and Australia do what they can. No crop is so widely grown as wheat. No crop is so highly esteemed by mankind, although some races live on rice, and some on banana flour, but for steady diet wheat flour is widely preferred.
 The years bread crop is largely q matter of sunshine and rains and good cultivation. The south could make its own bread, but it does not attempt the task, and this Is one reason why lands are low-priced in the south, and pros perity in the agricultural districts of tlns section of the country lags. But after all, the real trouble is one of labor, and we have no time or space this morning in which to discuss the immigration problem.

From the New York World.
 Nine feet three inches of giant, with head, hands and feet to match, will make his appearance on a roof garden this summer If, at the last minute, he does not get spasm of fright and refuse to sail from Cherbourg.
 This Goliath is Machnow known in Eu- rope as the tallest man in the world He Is a Russian peasant, and all told there are 36O pounds of him-not so very many considering his great height. His hands, from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger, measure twenty-four inches and his feet are constructed in proportion. His head takes a hat big enough for two ordinary men. and his fingers require gloves of great size. =
 Machnow once had an offer to come to this country and exhibit himself and he agreed. But just as the boat was about to sail his timidity overcame him and nothing could induce him to board the steamer. This time inc signed a contract with Oscar Hammerstein. who believes he will come at the appointed time.
 The giant is married to a woman of ordinary size, and Is very happy with his wife, who has to stand on chair to Kiss him. He is in fine health and has a hearty appetite. For breakfast he de-
  sixteen boiled eggs, six or eight loaves of bread and half a pound of butter. For lunch he has two and a half pounds of meat, five pounds of potatoes and a quart of beer. Dinner Is more elaborate, this being his menu on most days: basin Of soup five pounds of meat five pounds of vegetables three pounds of bread and a quart or two of beer. His 10 o'clock smack, consists of ten eggs, several loaVes of bread and a quart of tea.
