To the general public, there is noth- ing at all conducive to beauty or pic turesqueness about a locomotive, but yesterday morning there was as charming a little picture as one often sees, It was through the cab win dows of Engine No. 1s of the western of Alabama Railway that a little scene took place that made Engineer Carlisle and the crew of the train swear by Fritzi Scheff.
 The opera company that radiates from the light caused by the win some little star. was being brought Western on special train, running as the second section of train No. 35. There were five cars on the train. a couple of baggage cars. couple of coaches and a private car in charge of Conductor Ingram, with Engineer Carlisle in the cab.

States, ho would not approve 1t.

States, he would not approve it. The President said, according to Representative Watson of Indiana. who accompanied the callers, that while he could not be supposed to be a friend of the railroads. yet he believed the Con- stitution should contain some provision whereby the roads could protect them selves when necessity arises.
 One of the provisions to which. 1t is said. the President objects is that pre- venting railroads employing help to protect their property in case of q strike and to guard their trains. The proposed provision regarding railroads has been reported to the convention by the Committee on Railroads, but has not yet been acted on.

Obligations of Wealth.

=, UUH&utHOhH OK WehIth. Pittsburg Post
 Whatever may be the result of the trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, his case cannot fall to afford much food for serious reflection. His career, which is but typical of many others of his class points a moral which cannot be es- capped. l. Is that parents who provide great wealth for their children, and es- pecially their sons, without at the same time teaching them how to use that wealth and to become useful mem. bers of society, are most negligent in their duty. ouch parents would repu- diate with horror the idea of admin istering slow poison to their children, but they heedlessly furnish them with the means of destroying themselves, body and soul, without the slightest compunction.

County Make Payment.
 Citizens of Montgomery County have only. five more days in which to pay their poll tax, which entities them to enfranchisement. At the close of busi- ness late yesterday afternoon, Tax Collector George W. Halls had received a total of 1,030 poll taxes Out of this number of citizens, who have paid, all except 160 reside within the city.
 In Montgomery County, there are 5000 registered voters and approxi- mately 5000 of these are subject to poll tax. Last year '2,173 poll taxes were paid.
 It is noted by the tax collector that persons of foreign extraction are pay ing their poh fees in far greater num- bers than those of native birth. The foreigners. it appears. value their fran chise more than natives.
 The period by law for paying these fees expires February 1. and. unless a citizen pays by that time. he Is dis qualified from voting in the municipal primary in May.
