An Opportunity Offered Young Men
 Who Want to See the World.

The youth of Birmingham and vicin- It.. who are infected wi,.- the wander lust will now have a chance to gratify their desires in way that will pay them a salary while seeing the diff ferent parts of the world. This way is by enlisting in the navy, and a re- cruitng office was opened yesterday morning in the United States court room In the federal building. F. J.. Knowles, chief machinist, and O. H.. Funk, yeoman, are in charge of the office. They will be joined later by Lieutenant J. r. Lands.
 Positions in every branch of the ser- vice are vacant. especially that of yeoman. A yeomans duties are said to be very pleasant indeed, being most ly clerical. The salary ranges from $50 to s7O. Those enlisted will be sent to Norfolk at once, where they will be placed on the training ship.
 The requirements are a little stricter than formerly, but the average young man of good physical condition com bned with a grammar school educa- tion will be enlisted readily. Appl- cation blanks were filled out by sev- eral future maritime heroes" almost immediately after the office was opened.

in the building will soon crumble and fail We, Catholics love this country too dear ly to allow it to crumble or fall. From the days of Carroll of Carrollton down to the present, Catholics have given as many and as great proofs of their loyalty and love for this land of ours as any other people. We are proud of our country: we have helped to make 1t what 1t Is. We are none the less loyal to the flag of our country because we are also loyal to the cross of Christ; in fact, love for the one strengthens love for the other. There fore be practical Catholics, attend mass on Sundays and when you come away after hearing those inspiring and encour- aging words sursum corda, lift up your hearts, you will find yourselves strength ened to meet the battle of daily life and you will be prompted to lift others up as Well

 Their eyes were burned out of their faces, bodies, arms and legs black ened.
 Several incidents were told of the coolness and heorism of some of the men just after the explosion. Chaplain Charlton was the first officer to reach the turret. The first man he found was Midshipman Cruse. who was terri- bly inujred. He would not allow the chaplain to do anything for him, but said Let me alone; l am all right. Look after those other fellows"
 In one or two other cases, he met with the same spirit of self-sacrifice.
 As soon as the last of the dead had been removed from the ship, prepara- tions were made for sailing. Word had been received from Washington ordering the ship back to the target grounds and tomorrow the Georgia will resume target practice

CARING FOR VICTIMS.
Officers of Navy Department Much
 Aroused Over Accident.

Washington. July 15.-The navy de- partment received number of mes sages today reporting the explosion on the battleship Georgia, In Massachus- etts Bay. Instructions were immediate ly telegraphed by Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry instructng the hospital authorities to do everything possible to care for the victims of the disaster and telegram was sent to the hospital by the ships officers eX presisng condolence
 Tonight the navy department re- ceived a telegram from Admiral Snow, commanding the Boston navy yard. It read as follows:
 Two officers and thirteen men in jured in accident on Georgia are now at naval hospital Chelsea. Surgeon in charge will report on condition of each as soon as possible. Relatives of the six who died have been notified" Aside from their deep concern over the injuries suffered uy the unfortu nate turret crew of the Georgia, he of ficers at the navy department were a great deal cast down when they learn ed of tn eaccident as it tended to shake the cnofidence that had rested for more than a year in the perfection of the regulations so carefully framed with a view to safeguarding human life in tho  turrets.
 Accident on Missouri.
 April 31, 1904, terrible accident happened on the splendid battleship Missouri, when through a flare back" five officers and twenty-siN enlisted men met their death. On that occasion investigation revealed that the cause of the accident was the insertion of new charge in the breech of one of | ii hNfOrp the hurD ing gases left by the previous charge had fully escaped from the gun. The new charge was exploded and burning fragments of powder and cloth casing dropping into the room below the neigh borh ood of the magazines en- dangered the whole ship. It was on that occasion that Captain Cowles dis tinguished himself by entering the handling room which was filled with suffoeating gases and there was inn minent danger of a great explosion of the magazines, and carrying out in his arms several of the injured sailors. A naval board was appointed after that wh ich recast the firing regulations and provided automatic air blasts to pre- vent flare backs, and it was thought that every precaution had been taken that prudence could suggest.
 kearsarge Explosion.
 But just two years later to a day, there was another explosion in the G. inch turrets of the Kearsarge, where by three men were badly injured. The accident occurred through a sailor handling an iron extractor so as to make a short circuit in the electrical current which set ire to the loose powder. Again a board went to work and changed the location of the switches in the turrets and provided for insulated covering of such metal tools. and again it was supposed that safety had been assured Admiral Brownson, chief of the bureau of navi- gation, summed up the common belief of the navy when he said that he WAS sho locked and surprised for he believed that the department had adopted every

Senator Is Caned.

Senator William Hayes seems to be as fully appreciated at his home In Athens as he Is at the capital, whe no man has more admirers and friends. To-
 day he received by express handsome gold headed cane, the gift Of his friends in Athens. It bore this word ing: "To Senator William Hayes, from his Athens friends, in appreciation Of his services in the legislature l901,' The senator. one of the elder members, is being congratulated by his friends
 on the evidence of the esteem of his fellows.
 Mai. w. H. Long. the popular young military leader. who represents Nor gan county In the legislature, is wor- ried about an editorial paragraph in The Age Herald. It related that he was the only man to vote against John II. Bankhead in the caucus. The single voter in the negative was Mir Long. J. Lee Long of Butler, and not the Mor- gan county man. The latter believes
 that the Fayette man had it coming to
 him. Major Long, by the way, has been very energetic In this session. He in- troduced and saw enacted the deposi- tory law and helped to get more money for the military.

 School Prospects.
 It Is understood that the contending forces have gotten together and VIII pass the proposed school supervision bill, promoted by the state department of education. This bill originally pro- vided that the county superlntendents be hired like any other paid man by the county board, but with the ob- lection of the governor and other lead CTS 1t was seen that 1t could not pass So 1t will be amended to allow the peo- ple to elect, but to have the superln- tendents qualified teachers
 Another bill that is important IS the high school measure It Is expected that the Reynolds bill will have the right of way over that by Representa- tive Battery, because of the heavy ap- propriations carried by the latter. The former bill will be of little expense and may be put in with little real diff ficulty. The Reynolds compulsory edu- cation bill is also expected to pass this week in the house, the senate having endorsed it already. These, with some corrective measures, are expected to give more effective machinery to the educational forces than at any other time enjoyed.
 The WOrK or eApenulHB llle duoi'iS'i assessment for schools will fall next year with the operation of the new gov ernmental laws, so that the two will go out to the people together, to win or lose In public favor side by side.
 Early Closing Laws.
 Senator John A. Lusk, who has from the beginning of the present session been one of the leading men of the leg islature, seems to have laid well his plans with regard to the early closing law which has been passed in the part of the body of which he Is member He said this afternoon that he be- lieved the bill was going through the house as 1t did khe senate, and he had been assured that there would be no fight made to change 1t.
 It was given out this morning that a large .lobby would be here to work against the bill and that 1t was thought it might be either killed in the house or amended. This Is not to be. Mir Iusk said. The closing hours of the larger cities will be o'clock, or the largest 8, and the others z. Any at tempt to put it to II will be fought. Senator Lusk intimated that the senti- ment for control of the liquor was so great in the present body that he be- lieved a straight prohibition bill could be passed, though he did not anticipate that one owuld be presented.
 There was nc meeting of the house committee on mining and manufactures this afternoon because of the fallure to get copies of the bill from the print

FOR WHITMAN COUNTY FAIR.

b. Burgunder, manager of the
Whitman county fair, which opens
next Monday for six days, has a large
force of men at work putting the fir
lshing touches on the grounds and gett-
ing everything in readiness for the big
fair. The grandstand, judges stand
and fences are being decorated, and
the pavilion is being put in better
shape than it has ever been. The
barns and live stock quarters are being
enlarged. One farmer, who breeds
fine cattle, telephoned in for ten stalls
for white faced Hereford cattle, which
will be exhibited at the fair. Mr..
Burgunder says space is being engaged
for exhibits and live stock every day,
but there will be plenty of space for
all. No entrance fee is charged for
live stock.
One of the interesting features of
the fair will be the relay race of ten
miles, of which two miles will be run
each day. Each rider will have four
horses and change mounts every half
mile. This will be one of the spec
tacular featrues of the race program.
1t will last for five days, and it is
hoped to have several entries.
