 LETTER TO WOMEN
ALL ARE URGED TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS AND ASSIST IN THE EFFORTS TO CARRY PRoHlBl- TON IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.

The Women's Christian Temperance union begins the fight for prohibition this morning with an appeal to the women which will bear close reading. To the women of Jefferson county: For full quarter of century the Wom- ans Christian Temperance union has waged peaceful warfare against the liquor traffic and has prayed and watched for it's overthrow.
 The Stately Steppings" of God are rec ognized in the great wave of temperance sentiment and anti-liquor legislation that is sweeping the country.
 In no small degree are existing condi- tions due to the prayerful. persistent ef forts of the women to protect their homes and loved ones from the ravages of the saloon and it's attendant evils.
 Moment are great patriots-Their love and sacrifice for home and country, has made history. and has been an inspira- ton to men from the beginning of time.
 The women of Alabama, of our coun- ty, city and district, have ever been loyal to the best interests of their several To- calities, and have never failed to re- spond to the call of duty along all lines.
 Believing that the "fullness of time" has come in this splendid county of Jef- fersan, when a firm and determined stand shauld be taken by the women against the iniquitous liquor traffic, and on the side of the great moral issue, the prohibition movement that has been naugurated. We hereby call upon every woman whose heart Is filled with love of our God and humanity, whose prayers have been Thy Kingdom Come" whose hearts are throbbing with loving devotion for her home-for all homes-for all chill dren and for all childhood. to unite in the mighty effort which will be put forth to banish the whisky evil from our midst. Recognizing that our cause is, and will be combatted by mighty, determined and relentless foes, we will, trusting in Him who is Prince of Peace, meet argu- ment with argument, misjudgment with patience, denuncation with kindness, and all our difficulties and dangers with prayers.
 We know the power of united effort Experience has taught the power of united prayer.
 We therefore earnestly urge you to at tend the series of womans' meetings that have been planned, and to continue through the prohibition campaign. The first of these meengs will be held Tues day, September 3. at the First Methodist church, at o'clock p. m.
 Tn the Lord Jehovah Is everlasting strength. We will trust and not be afraid"

Council Elects Chief of Police.

There are other provisions in the code which will be interesting. The chief of police will never be elected again by the people, but by the city council. The council will also elect al other officers of the city, and only the names of the mayor, the president of the council. the aldermen and the police commissioners will go on the ticket.
 Another interesting fact is that, while Mayor Wards and the aldermen's terms will run on until May, 1909 the term of President Parker will close in October next year. These statements were made by prominent attorneys yesterday was have carefully studied the bill.
 In fact, since the bill was published in the Age-Herald, it is being widely read, and people are coming more and more to agree that it is one of the best on the statute books.

While in London in 1855 Wagner
took a walk every day In Regents
park. There, at the small bridge over
the ornamental water, would he stand
regularly and feed the ducks, having
previously provided himself for the
purpose with a number of French rolls,
rolls ordered each day for the occasion.
There was a swan, too, that came in
for much of Wagner's affection. II
was regal bird and fit, as the master
said, to draw the chariot Of Lohengrin.
The childlike happiness, full to over
flowing, with which this innocent occu-
patton filed Wagner was an impress
i've sight never to be forgotten. 1t was
Wagner you saw before you, the nat
ural man, affectionate, gentle and
mirthful.-From Ferdinand Praeger's
