Making Citizens

Carlos G. White, assistant deputy
United States district attorney, was
here last Saturday representing the
federal government in the hearing of
the candidates for naturalization. An
attorney in behalf of the government
is required to be present at all such
hearings under the present law. There
were nine petitions before the court.
Some failed to appear, one having
left the county. One was denied
citizenship on the ground of ladk OF
the necessary educational qualifica-
tions. Several were continued until
Decem Der %. The applications for
citizenship are much fewer in mum be1
than they we're under the old law,
Notwithstanding the fact that we have
larger alien population than ever
before. Under the existing strict
law, many are disincllned to submit
to the ordeal of examination.

Knew His Habits.

The following anecdote is given by
an Indian officer as illustrative of the
manners and customs of the willy
Pathan: A certain general and his
staff, while vending their way through
one of the narrowest valleys of Tirah,
were annoyed by the attentions of a
solitary marksman, who from time to
time sent bullet unpleasantly close
At last the general turned to his order
Iva Pathan sowar-and told him to
dismount, take his carbine and try and
stalk the mountaineer. The sowar
started off, and presently there was a
crack and gray bearded old Afridi
tumbled headlong down the mountain
side. The sowar rejoined and fell into
his place.
"Well donew said the general. But
how on earth did you manage it so
easily?"
"Oh," replied the sowar. 81 knew his
habits. He was my father."-London

A LEGEND OF WORMS.
Prophecy Of the Jewish Sage and It's
Strange FulfiIlment.


Rashi lived during the time Of the
first crusade, and one Of the legends
Of Worms connects him with this
event. He was one day seated with
his pupils, when knight, full pano-
piled, made his way into the school
house and with threatening mien thus,
addressed him: rabbi, thy name for
wisdom has reached me and fain would
learn my fate from thee I have
assembled host wherewith purpose
to drive the infidel Turk from. the Holy
City, but before I set out demand to
know whether my undertaking will
succeed. Answer me at once. have
no time for delay"
The rabbi replied: 'Thou wouldst
learn the future from me? Alas, 1 am
unable to foretell it. God alone can
say what the future will bring forth.
I have no powers Of divination, and
my faith forbids the assumption Of
them. Pray, therefore, forgive me if
am unable TO accede to thy request"
Rabbi" exclaimed the knight in
tones of passion, IT will listen to no
refusal Well know that thou canst
foretell the future If thou wilt. AS
truly as am Godfrey Of Bouillon, so
truly do promise to protect thee and
thy community from all harm, even if
thou shouldst foretell disaster to me.
But if it is successful issue that thou
hast in store for me I will right roy
ally reward thee in addition on my re-
turn. What? Art thou silent? Speak
or by heaven my sword shall open thy
mouth wide enough"
my lege lord" answered the Jew
ish sage, there is only one above who
can penetrate the future. Unless
would deceive thee, which / dare not
do, at most 1 can but venture an opin-
ion of what will happen to thee. Thy
undertaking will only succeed in part.
OF thy immense host but three men
and one horses head will return in
safety" With blanched countenance
Godfrey of Bouillon turned to depart,
exclaiming as he went, Take care,
Jew, if 1 return to find thou hast de-
ceived mew Godfrey of Bouillon went
up to Jerusalem. captured it and be-
came its first king.
/ But his success was short lived, and
the tide Of war turned against him.
Defeat and disease decimated his vast
host until there remained but four rid
ers of them all who made their way
to Worms. "The Jew has not spoken
the TRUTH he remarked as the gates
of the city came in sight. HE said
we should return with only three rid
ers and horses head. He has lost his
reward They rode up to the gates
and demanded admission. The massive
door behind was raised, and they pass
ed through. But as the fourth rider
was about to follow it fell down again
with heavy thud, decapitating the
horse and leaving its trunk and burden
outside the city. Conduct me to the
rabbi" said Godfrey of Bouillon. 81
must see him at once" But the rabbi
had long since left Germany.

AN Amador County Pioneer
Lady Passes Away

We take the following from the
Stockton Record concerning the death
of Mrs Newton, widow of the late DIR
Newton, after whom, we believe the
Newton copper mine was named:
After an illness of short duration
Mrs Mary Newton, one of the most
beloved women of Northern San Joa-
quin, died at Woodbridge last Friday
afternoon at o'clock. Until few
days ago it was thought she was
greatly improved and would recover.
but an apopletic stroke fastened the
end. Her death was great shock to
her many friends and it has plunged
the community in sadness, for she
was a woman of ideal character.
The deceased was the widow of the
late DR.. Jabez Newton and the
mother of Supervisor Newton, Cyrus
Brownlee Newton, the noted enter
tainer, Fulton Newton of Stockton,
Mrs John Mayberry of Antioch, and
Mrs A. G. White of stockton. She
was also sister of Mrs j. q. Thomp-
son of Stockton.
Mrs Newton was pioneer resident
of this part of the state. In company
with her parents, she came to
California from Virginia, the state of
her birth, in 1858. In 1854 she was
married to DR., Jabez Newton, Her
maiden name was Mary Rutlsdge.
The family at first located in jackson,
Amador county, but in 1870, DR.. and
Mrs Newton removed to Woodbridge
to reside.

Former Jackson Pastor
Has Sad Adventure

A Irass dispatch from Grass Valley
dated Oct 30, says While out quail
shooting today in company with Rev.
G. B.. Winning, minister CT the Me-
thodst church, A. ID. Best, a proml-
nent shoe merchant of that city, was
shot in The left shoulder ard perhaps
fatally injured. He was getting cut
of the buggy with the gun in his hand
when the weapon was accidentally
discharged and the load of quail shot
penetrated the flesh to considerable
depth. The injured man was re-
moved at once to the Jones Memorial
hospital for treatment, and it is not
known how serious the injury will
prove to be. Mr. Best is a pioneer
merchant of this city and has many
friends who trust his wounds Will
prove to be only superficial.

Alaban,a' Grand Old Men
 Most Interesting of Public SerUants.

teresting; yet neither MT. Morgan nor any other man can create quite the impression which always surrounds Mir Pettus when he rises. There IS something quaint and old-woridiy about MT. Pettus. Mr. Morgan's public career did not begin until the CIVIL War, prior to which time he had prac- ticed law unostentatiously Tn Selma. Many years before that time MT. Pet tus had played his part in American history and participated in stirring events He was a forty-niner, one of the Argonauts who supplied probably the most romantic page in American annals, but before that he was an of- ficer In the Mexican war.
 Oftentimes the burly figure of Mir Pettus is seen leaning over railing in the Senate corridors gazing with supreme contempt at the execrably bad picture of the battle of Chepultepec, This picture represents not the battle, but the broken winged flight of a de- fective artistic imagination about the battle, and excites the ire of Mr. Pet tus. He was there.
 When Mir. Pettus became forty miner he did not travel in one of those prairie schooners" we read about; he went on horseback from Alabama to California, and that in 1S40, when the West was unexplored and wild.
 When he rises to speak it seems like the sudden opening of forgotten page in American history. His appearance somehow confirms the impression. He Is homespun and d-fashioned; he speaks in quaint. high-pitched, delib- crate drawl His smiles and metaphors are drawn from the Scriptures He chews tobacco as he speaks, wagging his ponderous jaws and long chin whis- 'kers, and he mops his brow with a great red bandanna.
 When Mir. Pettus enters upon one of these homespun speeches such spell falls on the Senate as the most bril- liant orator there cannot produce. Heaven knows he is no orator at all; yet such a speech as this moves the Senate In way that might be the de- spair of MT. Beveridge and Mr. Rayner
 Side by side they have lived in the town of Selma for sixty years. They went from there to the Civil War, where both fought four years. There both returned as generals. wrecked in pocket, to begin life anew. There they will be buried. When that happens a page in American history will have been closed. The last vestige of the statesmanship of fifty years ago will have departed from American public life.
 Their strength and vigor seems to put that uay happhy Tar dho@os anu while they remain, men look down upon them from the galleries with feel ings that are not excited by the sight of any other Senator. When they pass away their places can never quite be filled. Alabama has made ready to send modern men then, but while her honorable distinction in the Senate re- mains to her she cherishes it, and therein she chooses the part of wisdom. It is small wonder that while recog- nizing in her new election that era of tnure for life.

Planning to Beautity Park
 About the Capitol Building.

Plans are making for the parking and beautifying of the spacious grounds surrounding the Capitol Commission CT J A. Wilkinson and Adolph Diet rich. Landscape Gardner in Extraor- dinary to the State of Alabama, went over the grounds yesterday and drew up tentative plan for beautiful park to surround the Capitol.
 Commissioner Wilkinson will super intend this work, which will be in charge of Adolph Dietrich and his Ger man assistant. They were in confer ence yesterday with Governor Conner. who is taking a lively interest in the Improvement of the Capitol grounds.
 The tentative plans provide for most of the improvement to be done in the southern portion of the Capitol Square. to the south of the new wing of the Capitol The north half of the yard is in good condition and but little im- provement will have to be made upon it. It has a fine lawn and where the elms do not shade the lawn there are several rows and beds of flowers
 The tentative plans contemplate an
