Don't Pay To Get Scared.

William Scoggin, a farmer liv-
ing IA miles south of Pomeroy in
the mountain district, says a dis
patch, lost on his way to town a
purse containing $575 in currency
and gold. He remembered put
ting the purse in his pocket up
on leaving home, but missed it
soon after his arrival in town,
There is much travel on the
greater part of the mountain
road, and Mr.. Scoggin believed
that the chance of his finding
the money on the return trip
was remote. About a month ago,
at the beginning of the financial
furry Mr.. Scoggin became alarm
ed and drew $500 out of the
Pomeroy Savings bank and took it
home for safe keeping. He lost
it, with SIS which he added to- it.
He is a hard working man in
rather poor circumstances, and
the loss to him is a heavy one.

Woes of Our "40O"

Our 400" did not give monkey din ners. nor did it as a body pose as some thing exclusive. It has been content to hand out on a street car a bit of complimentary paper while the rest of the passengers handed over nickels. Hereafter all will ride on the nickel basis, and our noble 400" will be dis banded.
 Just why it was determined that the trolley lines come within the terms Of the new rate law, when the legislature did not so intend, never will perhaps be known. Nor Is it necessary to inquire. It is quite sufficient to know that the fiat has gone forth, and that our 400" is soon to be abolished forever. It will soon be but a memory.
 The noble "400"-Blrmingham's noble "400"-will not, however, form an association. They will not hold an nual meetings. They will simply dis band, each going his own way. Some will ride and some will walk, and in that disorganized manner they will be reassimilated by the masses, and they will soon forget there ever was such a thing as special privilege of which they were the beneficiaries. Special privilege is getting many sore knocks nowadays, and the one just admins. tered by City Attorney Smith is one of the liveliest this city has ever ex- perienced,

PLAYWRIGHT's METHOD.
How David Belasco "Writes In" His
 Scenes-Audience All Lacking.


 From the New York Telegram.
 Before David Warfield opens the Stuy vesant theatre next month, his manager, David Belasco, will move all his execu tive staff from the Belasco to the new theatre. It is here that MT. Belasco will work out more of those stage pictures with which of late years his name has been associated.
 Now that the Warfeld play is finished and the first rehearssss have begun. MT. Belasco has disappeared and is busily at work on his next play, which comes on at Belasco's early in the new year, following the return engagements of Miss Frances Starr and Miss Blanche Bates.
 "Mr Belascos method of play building is unique" said an important member of his staff Monday. "The governor usually shuts himself up with a typewriter. The room Is roughly arranged to represent the scene of the play. The structural part of the play is complete. Then Mir. Be lasco moves about, acting each of the characters in turn, while the typewriter notes down not only the lines, but the business of the different characters as they are presented
 Sometimes a scene Is done in several different ways, and in the after reading the best parts of each scene are welded and the whole scene rewritten.
 "The only thing lacking is the presence of an audience. This method is a safe guard against the talky quality which creeps so easily into plays and Is the weakness of the so-called literary dra- matist. But in MT. Belasco's method the emprasis is put where it belongs-in the action"

Wellman's Dash to The Pole

Spitzbergen is far beyond cables or telegraphs, and the world awaits with expectancy news that Walter Wellman in the balloon America" has actually made dash for the pole. He has plan ned and built for this dash fully two years, and yet it remains a daring ad- venture in exploration. Every contin- gency of wind and weather has been studied, and yet there remains wide margin for success or failure.
 All that is known is that the great balloon has been inflated, and that d trial trip of it was satisfactory. MT. Wellman is enthusiastic and optimls- tic, but his enthusiasm and sanguinity have not kept him from studying every detail of equipment. He dominates the proposed spectacular dash to the pole, and if he wins he wins fame and probably a pocketful of dollars, for every Chauauqua in the land will de- sire to see the only man who ever reached the north pole, and his story of the trip in book form would stand at the top of the list of the best sell ers. He is playing for a large stake In his hazardous undertaking. and the world wants to hear the outcome of the effort.

haba is not open to reasonable doubt.
 When the Panama canal is com pleted. too many outlets by water from the coal deposits of this district can not be had Only three are possible, namely. one via the Warrior, one along the Cahaba, and one down the Coosa for each and all extend to the coal fields of this district
 It is reasonably certain that all the facts relating to the Cahaba will be determined and weighed by means of an official survey under MT. Under. woods proposed bill, and beyond doubt it will then appear that coal can as readily be barged down an Open Ga. haba as it can be down an Open War rior or an Open Coosa.

Sixty Years of Agitation

After sixty years of almost contiu- ous effort the Deceased Wife's Sister Marriage bill has become law. The house of commons has passed it in. numerable times to have it turned down by the sixteen Anglican bishops sitting in the house of lords and by those the bishops could call to their assistance To the last the bishops opposed the bill. but they were finally outvoted in the upper chamber of par liament
 The church party seems to have had nothing on their side except the anti quated matter on the last page of the prayer book of the Church of England. This page contains what is termed "A Table of Kindred and Affinity" and 1t tells the reader whom he may and may not marry. It says to a man that he cannot marry his grandmother. and restriction No. 17 bars out the deceased wife's sister
 This piece of ecclesiastical law has never had foothold in this country, and a man has ever been as free here to marry one sister-in-law as another when circumstances favored such a choice. The bishops are still talking against the bill in England, but as 1t has come to stay their talk will prove harmless and uninfluential. Society will rock along under the new law just as it does in this country, and the long contest will soon be forgotten except by historical students.

MODERN PARIsIAN DuELs.
Three Kinds-some to Gsln Time In
 Duelng.

From the Household Brigade Nigga
 zine.
 Duels are common enough in France nowadays, but thoy are robbed of their picturesque side. They may be divided into three categories, which I place in the order of their frequency of occur ence: Journalists duels duels which are the outcome of a tongue too we'll hung or fabricated by an overdose of alcohol, and. thirdly, those where the opponents are out to kill if they can. The above order also represents the degree of publicity accompanying each.
 Of those due to an ill-considered or ill-bred remark comparatively few come to an inter change of shots or thrusts but f1zzle out after an inter change of cards. Morning brings more reasonable frame of mind, and quetd down by those unfortunate in- dividuals who have been selected as seconds. When such encounters do take place. at least one of the prin- cipals is only too desirous for privacy to be maintained, the safest possible conditions are arranged, and one only hears about the affair after 1t Is all over.
 The materials for disagreement are usually night restaurant and the one extra bottle which might have been dis pensed with. Only yesterday morning d respectable married man found him self confronted in combat by a un known Argentine, with whom he had apparently had a disagreement the night before at well known sec ond rate cosmopolitan cafe, much fre- quented between about a. m. and breakfast time.
 Neither of the gentlemen quite knew what 1t was all sbout, but their seconds said it was all right, so they had to go through with it, and no harm was done. The third type of duel Is serious and very rare It usually takes the form of a row about a lady.
 There are a good many tricks to gain time in duelling. Dropping the sword is one; resting the point on the ground or making a wide parry so as to scrape the ground Is another. In either of these cases the point has to be sand papered and treated with antiseptic or held in @ flame. so that there may be no risk of a wound being poisoned.
 With pistols the conditions are ar ranged according to the seriousness of the quarrel. As rule, dueling pistols at twenty-five paces are used. The duellng pistol Is muzzle loading and rifled. Its pull oft is regulated by the circumstances; also the powder, charge. Seconds often arrange to put in only sufficient powder to drive the bullet out of the bore; sometimes they drop the bullet into the left hand when loading and hammer the imag- mary one down the barrel.
 At duel which occurred not long ago one of the men was hit in the middle of his forhead The skin was scarcely injured, md when he took off his hat out fell the bullet. which had slipped up bstween the skin and the brim.

Geornia Not Wholly Dry

When the Georgia state prohibition bill goes into effect on January 1, that state will not be by any means so "dry" as some had said she would be. A large-sized hole exists in the bill, one that permits any number of men to organize themselves into a locker club. No charter is needed. No con- sent from any official need be sought The thirsty can by mere organization among themselves and by the payment of $500 to the county tax collector secure from him a license to open a locker club They cannot sell strong drink, or perhaps give it away, but they can have as much of it for their own consumption as they may desire.
 No one can prevent the organization of locker clubs, and it is believed the 126 dry" counties in the state will, under the new prohibition law, become locker counties. If so, the bill will promote the use of liquors rather more than it will promote temperance. The state is at present dotted with dry counties, and when the new law goes into effect there will not be, it is thought, a single "dry" county in the state This is a result of nasty legis- lation. Legislation with holes in it is worse than no legislation at all.
