Tn all his long and honorable career Santa Claus never had finer night in which to do his work than on the Christmas Eve of 1907. The weather bureau said the weather would be 'cold and clear and so 1t was.
 And in Montgomery strenuous weex merged into quiet and beautiful Christmas Eve. A more orderly Christ mas Eve was never seen and never be- fore was shopping completed so early. There was nothing to disturb father when he slipped up the front steps with his pockets full of dolls and q wooden wagon sticking out from un- der his overcoat. Mother could steal undisturbed to the back door and get the big basket from the porter. It was . quiet and restful night on which all good children went to bed. and those who did not hurry off to bed had no right to find full stockings this morn ing.
 Yesterday was a fine day on which to buy presents. It was . pleasure to be abroad in the cold and bracing air. And now and then in the afternoon the sun broke through the clouds and bathed the happy world in hood Of golden sunshine,--a symbol of the hap piness of the season. Happy crowds surged and eddied in and out the stores.
 It was iafgeiy M0nt8Omery CroWu. Saturday and Monday had been fine days. The out-of-town shoppers, on those days were afraid to risk bad weather on Christmas Eve. They made their trip to town. which they had to make. on the days when the weather was fair, Christmas Eve might have brought bad weather but 1t didn't.
 The seller of Christmas greens was welcomed joyously. He was usually country negro who knew where holly, mistietoe and bamboo grew. To him Smilax is always bamboo, except when he has learned that his customers pre- fer to hear 1t called smilax. But he was in Alrly with full wagon. He knew where the stun grew and he knew where there was fine market for it. So he peddled 1t about the streets and drove sharp bargains with eager housekeepers.
 There is more Christmas decorations in Montgomery than there used to be. A few years ago but few of the houses of the city smiled forth in the bravery of Christmas greens during the Yule- tide. but now the observance of the custom has widened and far and near

Why Foreign Markets Took Our Dis

Why Foreign Markets Took Our Dis-
 tresses More to Heart Than in 1893. New York Evening Post.
 Among the many questions asked; as consequence of the recent convulsion, the whole regarded our panic shock with equanimity in 1893, been so for midably shaken in 1907. Tn both years, the American phenomena were the same; in both, New York bought huge quantities of European gold at prem ium; in. each, the strain converged on London. To this question, an answer is ventured in the following letter by a well known financier. addressed to a New York correspondent:
 Your fellow countrymen here have been indulging in illusions. Most of them have exalted your riches and your progress until they concluded that the United States could do any thing that 1t chose; that it's credit was inexhaustible, And yet your bankers had plain enough warning from this side of the ocean in the alum of 1906.
 "As for Europe. there is this to say: 1907. It is. tha tin 1893, we on this ation after the crisis of 1890 whereas in 1907, your collapse caught Europe of its guard, in the midst of liquida- tion of It's own which was not by any means completed.

 Decided Nothing. VIEW OF COLONEL CAREER Minnesota Case is Like Alabama { Case.
VIEW OF COLONEL CAREER
The Attorncy General Is Watching for . Decision h the Case Which is
 Like the Alabama Controversy.

The action of the Supreme Court of the United States Monday in permit ting petition of citation for two Federal Judges to appear and show cause why they should not remand to the State courts the railroad litigation pending in the Federal courts has no nearing upon the Alabama controversy between the State and the railroads. Such is the opinion of Attorney Gen- eral A. M. Garber.
 In the first place, the Nebraska case is not so similar to tho Alabama case as is the Minnesota case.A And. as the Attorney General pointed out yester- day. decision in the Minnesota case would mean much more to the fu- fure of the Alabama case than would the one in Nebraska.
 Moreover, the action of the Supreme Court decided nothing
 The great judicial and governmental question of the day is the Jurisdiction of Federal court over the acts of "A Legislature affecting rights of prop erty, and it is as far from finel ad- justment as 1t ever was The court only permitted the attorneys for the State of Nebraska to file a petition asking that the Federal judges be com pelled to make showing of their ju- risdiction. The citation has not even been issued by the Supreme Court. It la possible that It may not be done. The Nebraska case Is similar in one respect to the Alabama controversy in that the Jurisdiction Of the Federal court Is challenged. But all the sur- rounding circumstances are different. In Nebraska the State took the initia- tive and began proceedings in the State courts. The Federal courts with drew the cases from the State courts and went into their consideration.
 In Alabama the railroads took the initiative. They first went into the Federal courts before the State had taken any action in the State courts
 In discussing informally the action of the Supreme Court as if appeared Garber said yesterday that 1t had no special bearing on the Alabama case. He was. however. anxiously waiting the action of the high court on the rail- road cases which went up from Min nesota.
 The Alabama cases are set down for q hearing before Judge Jones on Jan.

stant hurry and effort he said. must all be considered when one searches for the cause of the increase and none of these things have just. developed.
 "I think over eating has something to do with such a condition" said pr. Darlington, the grip which has been prevalent lately causes a severe heart strain and the heart which Is weak ened by life of worry and stress. will naturally be the first to give way. It is time for Americans to adopt the simple life and to slow down."
 The total number of deaths during the past week was 1,71i as against 1,- 3S1 for the same week last year. Pneu- monia heads the list with 276, an in- crease of 154 over the corresponding week of last year.
