Representativea Slt QuietIy.


 natural joy that would come to me in being elected to this high office.
 Representatives Sit Quietly.
 q beg of you, gentlemen. that you will aid me in transacting tho duties of the position, that we may be suc- cessful in doing those things which should be done. My administration of the office will be a success if can, in even a small degree, follow in the path marked out by tine great statesman who has preceded me, and who surren- dered the gavel only at the behest of the Great Reaper. Death.
 Tt has been said that death is but the door to which we stoop in order to enter a greater and grander chamber beyond. Let us hope our departed brother has but stopped to this door to enter this golden chamber, and where He who is the judge of all that is great and good will say to him.
 Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into thy rest. Thou hasn't been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many"
 It was indicative of the mood of every representative present that not a single clapping of hands. not a par ticle of applause, followed either the election of the new Speaker. or the cOncluSlOn or ms remdFkS.
 Chairman John of the Judiciary Com mittee presented a resolution at the request of that committee. formally re- scinding the resolution for adjournment by the two houses of the Legislature from yesterday until July, and pro- viding that adjournment should he from yesterday until o'clock Wednes- day morning. and that when adjourn ment was reached Wednesday, 1t should be until July 9. This resolution was adopted without debate.
 MT. Williams of Barbour then moved that a committee be appointed to draft sympathy upon the death of the Speak CT. and that another committee be rais- ed to arrange for the Legislature to at tend the funeral in a body.

 This resolution was changed, at the suggestion of MT, Manef of Montgom- cry, for joint committee of three from the House and two from Senate to ar. range for attendance at the funeral. al- though Mir Pitts of Dallas. insisted the committee should be from the House alone, of which he was our be loved Speaker" MT. Maner's motion was agreed to without dissent. Messrs. Maner, Gunter and Goodwin were nam ed as the House members of the joint committee.
 At the suggestion of Mir. Foster. the preparation of memorial resolutions was left to the Rules Committee.
 While waiting for the Senate to an- nounce it's concurrence in the resolu- tion relating to the adjournment of the two houses, the new Speaker signed number of bills awaiting transmission to the Governor. The first bill to bear the name of A. H. Carmichael as Spek- CT of the House was House Bill No. 66S. the Jamestown Exposition bill.
 Speaker Carmichael named J. Manlsv Fostor of Tuscaloosa County, an old member of the House, as a member of the Committee on Rules, to succeed himself. he being an eX-officio member of the committee as Speaker of the House.
 A recess was then taken until II :5O o'clock, when a message was received that the Senate had concurred in the resolution relating to adjournment, and for a joint committee to arrange for participation in the funeral of the late Speaker.
 Mir Maner then moved. as a further mark of respect to the deceased Speak CT that the House adjourn in honor of the later Speaker Hon. w. L. Martin, announcing at the same time that mo- tice of the arrangement for the funeral. in which the Legislature would be ex- pected to participate in body, would be given in this mornings paper, and the House, at 1855 o'clock, adjourned until tomorrow morning at o'clock
