LEGISLATURE Votes Prohibition, and
Governor Will Sign Bill.

Montgomery, Ala.-Women filled
the galleries and lobbies OF the state
Senate when the prohibition bill came
up until, by order Of Lieut.-Gov.
Henry B. Gray, the doors were opened
and they were allowed to mingle with
the members. In the excitement the
Senate passed the bill with two lone
members in the negative, though nine
noes had been expected.
A shout of approval went up and
the women broke into the "Doxol-
ogy." The refrain was taken up in
the halls until it was sung in every
section OF the: building and had
swelled to a mighty chorus. Showers
of flowers were rained upon the Sem
ators by the women.
A carload of women came from
Mobile to fight prohibition. In that
city license money supports the
schools. But as the women from
MONTGOMERY, Birmingham and Selma
arrived first the lobby was so crowd
ed that the Mobile contingent could
not get even to the doors. They dis
tributed badges with the WORDS:
'Save the schools of Mobile; 5000
women sign petition against prohi-
bition."
AS soon as the speechmaking began
the women cheered every good point
until the galleries and the nall were
in an uproar. So,
AS passed in the Senate, the bill
makes the State dry on January l,
1901. AS passed in the House 1t
would have taken effect on October
l next. 1t appropriates $4,000 a year
for the enforcement Of the law by q
special officer. 49,,
Gov, Conner will sign the bill and
the House will agree to the amend
ment.

Washington, D. c. - President
Roosevelt took heroic measures to
relieve the financial stringency and
to supply funds to move the crops
by authorizing the sale Of S50,0O0,-
900 Panama Canal bonds and $780,
100000 United States Treasury
notes of Indebtedness. The entire
500, 100000 debt certificates will
not be issued unless needed.
The Panama bonds will be used as
the basis for additional banknote cir
culation, and the proceeds of the sale
of the certificates of Indebtedness will
be placed in the national banks, par
ticularly in the South and West, to
enable the farmers to get the cash
necessary to market their crops.
President Roosevelt's letter to Sec
rotary Cortelyou authorizing the
s150,000,0 900 bond and note Issue
follows:
"The White House, Washington.

considered your proposal. I approve

sale OF which can be at once deposited
by you where the greatest need en-
lists. and more especially in the West

Inherited Tendencies.

In an able article in the Daily
Chronicle a few days ago, Professor
James Long dealt very frankly with
a question which is rapidly becoming
the question of the time-the form
ing Of the coming race by the train.
ing of mothers. Great point is given
to his appeal by the presentation Of
statistics relating to two American
families-iirst, that of Jonathan Ed
wards, the theologian; and second,
that of the ancestor of a race OF
criminals:
"Of a thousand descendants in the
first case, asa were distinguished
men-judges, professors, lawyers,
college presidents, physicians, clergy
men and authors; while of 1900 de-
scendants of the other, 80 were pro-
f~essional paupers, 100 convicted
criminals, sixty habitual thieves, and
seven m%urderers, while 400 were
self-wrecked, showing a record Of
crime, insanity and pauperism al
most without precedent. What pro-
portion of these two results is at
tributable to woman?"
Professor Long contends that mod.
ern life tends to divide the interests
of fathers and mothers, the former
being content with earning bread and
remaining master of the house, while
the mother is left almost alone to
train, for good or evil, the children.
The old adage, "The hand that rocks
the cradle rules the world is so
worn as to be obsolete for many. It
is no exaggeration to say that III
all Englishmen e the sons of good
mothers we should be a new nation"

Enormous Holdings in Her Great Bank and in Other Financial lnsutu-
tons--No Objection to Lending, But the French Have a
Liking For Government Guarantees.
Paris-Never before perhaps in the history of France has there been
such occasion for pride in the wealth Of the country as during this week,
sending petitions to Paris for more gold.
Although much gold has left Paris in the last fortnight, France still has
more Of the precious metal than she knows what to do with.
French thrift knows no limits. In France o one is idle; every one
saves. Nor is money saved to be boarded: The huge semi-ofacal banks
which have no counterparts in America, and which not only accept deposits
but give advice concerning Investments, have more customerst to-day than
ever before.
The Postofce Savings Bank, State controlled, where a deposit of one
sou is as welcome IS that of a hundred francs, also shows a tremendous
in business for the present year. Although the maximum account
allowed to one depostor is only $500, it is estimated that the deposits in the
Postofice Banks this year will Vi up to near q billion dollars by the end of
December.
Money lent abroad is doubly profitable in the cae Of France, for a fair
percentage of it is brought back to France by the horde of foreigners who
annually visit this favored land.
