MESSENGER CAUGHT
STOLE MONEY PACKAGE OF SELMA
 BANK.
Selma is Roasting of Most Remarkable Health Record With Only 'A Three Deaths in
 Sixty Days.
Advertiser Bureau,

A0FCAtAScI DuECdu,
 Selma. June 2S.
 On. June 1st the City National Bank of Selma, sent to the FaunsdaIe Ma tionals Bank a package containing $1,- 900 in currency. Four days afterwards the money not having been received the Faunsdale institution called up the bank, in- Selma and found that 1t had been sent by express on the day nam ed. An investigation disclosed the fact pany who had been checked out on June 1st, after having served only four or five days, had receipted for the package at the depot but instead of and kept the money. the auditor who was doing the checking, therefore, not having any record Of the receipt of the package.
 since. the discovery. of the thaft tho Southern Express, ofIiciaIs have been searching far and near for the man. His home Is in Russell County, where his wife lives, but to whose support he has contributed very little. Drink has been his ruin and he was relieved at Faunsdale because he was found on a spree the day after being put in charge of the office.
 Last Saturday detectives of the ex- press company located the man in Richmond, Va,-and arrested him. sTwo hundred and sixty-one dollars of the stolen money was found in his possess sioh. Officials from this division who knew the man went to Richmond and last Tuesday identified him. As soon as reQuisition papers can be secured he will be brought to Alabama, thence Ito the jail at Linden where he will re- main until his trial comes up.
 s sS Selma Breaks Record.
 For more than thirty days Selma has not had single death. The last death to occur was a. little child brought here from another city and was desperately i'll at the time. Be- fore the death of the child, in the pre- csding thirty days, but two persons died, and one of those had reached the advanced age of 76 years. So in sixty days there have occurred in Selma three deaths in all. There IS hardly any city in the country that can boast of a bet ter record. There have been three fu- nerals this month in Selma, all of which were of persons who died away from the city, Senator Morgan's funeral be- ing among the number.
 The doctors declare that they have never before seen as little sickness in this city. This excellent health condi- tion in Selma can be attributed to the fine condition and to the ''cleanipg up' days inaugurated last month.
 Selma Gets Encampment.
 Captain Howard, of the Abbott Rt- fles, Is in receipt today of a letter set ting at rest all doubts as toT the en- campment of the 2nd Infantry. Col onel Bricken, the commanding officer of the regiment, writes that the offer of Selma Is accepted and that the reg iment will come to Selma July 22 for q weeks practice camp. Colonel Brick en States in his letter that he will bring the finest regiment in all the South to Selma and that he expects to have at least 25O more men here than at last years camp.

A few weeks ago there occurred be-
tween Philadelphia and New York a
railway accident that cost four lives
and resulted in serious injury to thir
ty-nine persons.
The conditions gave no excuse for
an accident, and the deeper the exam
lining probe goes the greater the rid
die as to how:it could have happened:
I A Long Branch train was temporari-
ly DELAYED by hot box. It came to a
stop near Eddington, a. small station
not far from Trenton, N. J. r.
When the stop was made the usual
precautions were taken against the
possibility that a train bound in the
same direction might plunge into the
rear Of, the one standing still. -
1t was broad daylight: all the signals
could be plainly seen, and there never
seemed less chance of anything going
wrong. Passengers got off the train
and watched the engineer at work on
the hot box. !:
Suddenly, coming at speed Of sew
enty miles an hour, the New York ex-
press crashed into the stationary train
: When the officials Of the road; heard
the name Of the engineer Fho had
been at fault they were astounded. IT
was George Van Arsdale, a veteran of
forty years. railroad, service, a. j man
wao was. always trusted with the fast

BLunders of History.

of worrimtent, and could give no rea-
son why his powers should have de-
serted him at the crisis.
Yet if we accept the fifty-1ve-sixty-
two-year-old theory, the answer IS
easy.
Van Arsdale is within the fatal peri
cd. He is sixty years of age.
In August last the great steamship
Manchur;a went ashore on Rabbit ISL
and, Hawaiian group. There was no
real excuse for the wreck. Capt. J. w.
Saunders, who was on the bridge at
the time, assumed all blame for
stranding the vessel The weather was
very clear and yet his only excuse was
that he mistook the land for Makapu
point, a spot which he had viewed
hundreds Of times>before.
:. Capt. Saunders was within the fatal
age limit
Early in last July dreadful rail
road smashup occurred in Salisbury
Eng, when twenty-seven passengers
were killed and twelve injured.
The engineer was one of the most
| trusted in the employ of the railroad
but his judgment and common sense
had forsaken him. He was within the
fatal. age boundary.
. Two years ago last summer the ex
cursion steamer General Slocun
caught fire on her way to He'll Gate
from New York, and over 900 passe1l
gers 10 st their lives either by fire OF
water.
! The one man whose personality
stood out strongest before the world a
the burning of the Slocum was Capt
William Henry Van Schaick, who wa:
! just within the fatal age area.
Capt. Van Schaick was placed un
der arrest as soon as he was able tt
leave the hospital and tried for negli
gence of duty. On Jan. 27, 1906, yer
dict was rendered holding the captain
responsible for the disaster and sen
fencing him to ten years imprison
ment. An appeal was taken and Capt
Van Schaick released on $4,000 bail.

Is there a brief period in every
mans life, who has passed the age of
ifty-fve, and not reached sixty y-two,
when the heart and brain refuse to
respond TO crises, and fatal errors, i'm
possible at any other period, are COM
mitted?
A foremost English doctor says so,
and he fortifies his argument with i'm
pressive instances.
If he is right many of the mistakes
of history, the sudden utterly unac-
countable lapses of judgment on the
part OF usually able men would be ex
planned.
According to the English writer it is
at some period between the ages OF
fifty-fve and sixty-two that the facul-
ties suddenly undergo a lapse. The
loss is only temporary, and marks
often with black bloteh of horrors
the psychological change. taking place
between the meridian of life and the
commencement of old age. When this
condition affects them, business men
show irresolution and suspicion with
out re:ason, statesmen make inexcusa-
+ BILE blunders of policy, soldiers conf
NIT the most glaring mistakes which
cost battles, and sailors lose battle
ships, while trusy railroad engineers
run past signals and cause disastrous
wrecks.
After the danger mark is passed, the
soiidity and conservatism of old age
come to the rescue, and the result is
seen in men of extraordinary preserva-
tion, like Gladstone, Ibsen, Senator
Hoar, Verdi or Gen. Roberts.
The controversy provoked by DR.. Os-
ler's now famous dictum that man
ceases to have creative faculty after
the age Of forty, and ought to be chlor-
oformed after passing sixty, is likely
to be repeated in similar degree by
this new effort to determine by years
when a mans faculties fail. r. -.
Tt is fact, however, that many in.
stances seem to bear out the. idea 4of
the English doctor.

The English generals who commit
ted the blunders in the Boer-English
war were men between the ages of
fifty-five and sixty-two, the Buffers and
the Methuens.
Those who went to the rescue were
curiously either above or below the
fatal age. Thus Lord Kitchener was at
that time less than fifty years old, and
Lord Roberts, the much-beloved
"Bobs," was getting close to seventy.
1t was this paid who ended most HUI

HIS RADICAL VIEWS
BRIEF LECTURE BY M'DoNALD,
THE lcoNocLAsT.
His Ideas on the Subject of the Do
mestic Differences Of the o'Hooli-
hans Are Interesting if
Not Instructive.

Mcdonald was known among his
friends as an iconoclast-: His greatest
lelight was to smash images. One of
his particular cronies was Perkins.
When Perkins wanted a little enter
tainment in the evening he had way
OF getting few congenial spirits
around table in a cafe and after a
few round of drinks had percolated
through their systems he would bring
UP some abtruse subject and hear Nc
Dona1d's radical views. He always
felt sure that Mcdonald w1uld take
the opposite side from the generally
accepted view of any subject.
1t was at one of the usual evening
gatherings when the circle of init
mates were seated in their usual cozy
corner. When. Perkins noticed Nc
Donald finish his fourth rickey he laid
down an afternoon paper he had been
glancing over and remarked:

has been fined for beating his wife.
| think any man who would beat his
I wife ought to be tied up to a lamp
post and given about sc lashes on his
bare back"
Mcdonald assumed an aggressive
attitude at once and hastily swallowed
something in his throat.

now, let me tell you something. /
