ENTIRE STATE
DRY IN A YEAR
THIS PREDICTION is MADE BY
BIRMINGHAM NEWS, or
ALABAMA.

The prohibition wave has struck Ala
bama good and hard. and the prediction
is made by the Birmingham News that
the entire state will be dry before the
end of another year. The News says:
The prohibition wave in its sweep
through the state struck the counties
OF Talladega and Tuscaloosa Monday
and the results were beyond the ex.
pectations Of the most sanguine pro-
hibitionists. Every beat in Talledega
county sent up a majority against
whiskey, the total majority for the
county being 1898. thus establishing
a new record in the prohibition fight
in Alabama.
In Tuscaloosa where the situation
was somewhat muddled by the fact
that the direct issue was between pro-
hibition and the dispensary, the pro-
hibitionists secured a majority OF up
wards of four hundred, thus scoring
another pronounced victory. Had the
issue been between the open saloon
and prohibition there is no telling how
large would have been the majority
for the latter
Within the very recent past local
option elections have been held in
four connties-Butler, Pickens, Tai
ledega and Tuskaloosa-and the pro
have carried all OF them.
In not single instance was the con-
test even close Elections have been
ordered in seven other counties
Lowndes, Lee, Calhoun, Wilcox, Bull
lock, Jefferson and Etowah-and
there is every reason to believe that
these counties will also go against
whiskey by majorities proportionate
with those secured in the counties
which have already acted.
Petitions have been filed or are be-
ing circulated in numerous other coun-
ties and more elections are ahead.
The outlook Is very gloomy Tor tue
people, for in not a single
where the movement is being
agitated do they appear at this time
to have any chance to win. At the
present rate Alabama will be "dry"
state within the next year and no
greater blessing in the judgment of
The Birmingham News could come to-
t.
Let the majority for prohibition in
Zach county that acts be SO large that
he influence of an aroused public
opinion will enforce the law to the
etter and judges and juries will send

"HIGHER CRITICISMS"

RICHMOND, Va, October 3.-High'
err criticisms and the new theology
was denounced by the Right Rev. Ar
thur Foley Winington-nIgram, lord
bishop of London, in a sermon In Holy
Trinity church today, during the Epis-
copal church celebration of the third
centennial of the founding of Angli-
can Christianity in America. He
said
To-day In England high church and
low church vie to preach Gospel Of
free salvation-that the eternal Son
of God came into this world and gave
Himself for his brothers; that the
Christion religiin does not consist in
belief in good man named Jesus
Christ dying on the cross, but consists
in belief in the sacrifice of God him.
self have no means Of knowing the
trend of thought in the United States,
but from my experience of East,
North and West London, the future
lies with no church which sinks to
what is called the new theology. What
we must beware of on both sides Of
the Atlantic Ia losing the power Of our
message by trying to make It easier
to be believed. The greatest danger
Of the church OF both sides OF the At.

CONCOCTION OF
CHINESE M. DIS
GIVE THEIR PATIENTS DOGS
GALL AND OTHER KINDRED
SUBSTANCES.

Several Chinese herb" doctors
were recently arrested in Los Angeles
charged with practicing without Ii
cense. An analysis or examination
of the herbs and other materials used
by them as medicines was almost
enough to make one seasick This
disclosure will no doubt be comforting
to the numerous white patients of the
ORIENTAL physickers. 1t perhaps would
have been better for them TO have
borne the ills they had rather than
to rush to the herb doctor and take a
dose of dope" consisting of dogs
gall, hoof of white horse, pulverized
deerhorn and the spittle of striped
frog. This is an ordinary prescription
for a fever, which is either driven out
by drastic remedies or coaxed out by
what they consider as milder rem
edies. Fortunately the white patients
do not know what they are taking,
else the remedy would be more har-
rowing than the disease. Chinese
patients, however, know what they are
taking and seem to like it, for they
run to a doctor at the slightest symp-
tom.
The Chinese doctor does not know
Latin, and therefore does not deceive
his patients by writing his prescrip-
tion in a dead language. Nor does
the Chinese doctor administer bread
pills under a Latinized name or sweet
ened water as a compound" or tex
tract" The stuff that he prescribes
has strength and is given in large
doses as much as the patient can
bear. There are nine ingredients in
a remedy for a cold, and some of
these are also said to cure other all
ments. The doses are large. and CIV
en- with the view of being effective in
case the patient has some other com
plant also. Thus the doctor kills two
with one dose, unless he
kills the patient. The theory is that
by pouring in all kinds of medicines
at the same time the channels in the
system will conduct them to different
parts of the body and THUS hit the
right spot.-Los Angeles Times.

Mai. John Andre, the young British

PROTECTION OF
OUR RESOURCES
PRESIDENT CALLS NATIONAL
CONFERENCE TO MEET
ON JAN. ) NEXT.
Purpose 10 The Conservation OF Ma
tIon's Timber and Min
eral Wealth.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in his speech here to-
day, announced that he would call q
convention to be held in Washington,
Jan. 3, next, to advocate the preserva-
ton and conservation of the natural
resources of the country, including
coal and water power. The fact that
such a call would be issued was noised
yesterday on some of the boats ac
companylng the Mississippi on her
voyage down the river.
II has been under consideration for
some time by the members OF the
Inland waterways Commission, and
the details were presented by the
members of that body to the Presi-
dent at luncheon given him on the
boat. Gen. Mckenzie and the sixteen
Governors on the Alton were taken
into the Commissions confidence
when that body went aboard that Ves1
sci after dinner to present the matter
TO them. A meeting was organized on
the deck Of the Alton, over which Gov.
Folk presided, and at which it was
made evident that a determined EFFORT
fouId be made to secure an indorse-
ment of the project in advance OF ac-
ton by the President
Statements in explanation OF the
Commission plans were made by
Chairman Burton, Senator Newlands,
DIR. McGee, Mr.. Pinchot and other
members of the Commission, from
which It appeared that they desired
to have the proposed convention follow
the rivers and harbors' conference to
be held In Washington in December,
and to have it devoted to other than
navigation matters.
Among the subjects for such con-
ference are the following:
81. Hitherto our National policy
has been one of almost unrestrained
disposition of natural resources, and
this in more lavish measure than in
any other Nation in the worlds his
tory; and this policy of the Federal
Government has been shared by the
constituent States. These consequen-
ces have ensued, first, unprecedented
consumption Of material resources;
second. exhaustion of these resources
to the effect that large part OF our
available public lands have passed In
to great estates or corporate inter-
ests, our forests are so far depleted
as to multiply the cost of forest prod
ucts, and our supplies of coal and iron
ore are so far reduced as to enhance
prices; and, third, unequalled oppor-
tunity; and, third monopoly to the ex-
tent that both Federal and State SOW
ereignty have been completed to enact
laws for the restoration OF the people.
"2. We are of the opinion that the
time has come for considering the pol
icy of conserving these material re-
sources on which the permanent pros
perity of our country and the equal
opportunity of all our people must
depend; we are also of the opinion
that the policy of conservation is so
marked an advance on that policy |
adopted at the outset OF our National
career. as to demand the consideration
of both Federal and State sponsors
for the welfare of the people"

MISS PECK To
TRY To SOLVE
THE MYSTERY

"Purgatory." a cave only a few miles
from Worcester many OF whose mystic
rious bypaths have yet to be explored, Is
now attracting the attention OF scientists
ell over New England because OF the fall
ure OF Miss Lucia b. Thomson OF Boston,
a well-known mountain climber, to pene-
trate the cavern. Miss Thomson found
herself unable to proceed much beyond
the entrance TO the cavern, as It was ice
bound
No one has yet had the courage to pene-
trate the furthest depths of the cave. and
such an attempt is admittedly fraught
with danger, for at its bottom is an un-
explored subterranSan lake or river.
There are scarcely three months in the
year in which 1t Is possible to enter the
cavern. Miss Thomson, who has climbed
the highest peaks OF the Pacific coast
ranges, gave up the attempt after climb
ing In the ante-chambers several hours.
Though she has climbed Mt. Whitney.
she says she never encountered a more
difficult task than the cavern. Miss Annie
Peck OF this city, wellknown European
climber, will try to explore the cave.

suicide by shooting yesterday when about
