 Championship p THE STORY OF THE PAIR eotch Interviewed As to Relative Pun ishment Received in Boxing and Wresting-Hammero Ter

THE STORY OF THE PAIR

Thursday evening. February [, at the southside skating rink, Avenue and Twenty-fourth street, Farmer Burns will try conclusions with Frank A. Gotch the heavyweight champion wres- tier of America.
 The contract for the wrestle was signed yesterday and immediately afterward Farmer Burns left for his home in Iowa. He will return several days before the match
 There are not few who believe that Burns will defeat Gotch and thereby win the championship of America. The great majority of the students of the game, however. believe that the Farmer in spite of his great skill, will be mastered. The match will be mathematician style with the strangle hold barred.
 Burns Taught Gotch.
 As concerns Gotch and Burns, there is

brought a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. That is, his offering was more of the nature of a sacrifice for sin. Cain offering may have been just as expensive as Abers, but 1t was not a sacrifice. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Gains offering was not sacrifice at all. Just why it was necessary to shed blood as an atonement for sin, we do not know. Certainly bloody sacrifice is repusive to the hu- man mind. Perhaps it was for that very reason that God appointed it, so as to inn press upon man the exceeding sinfulness Of sin. Sin leads to death. The soul that <inneth shall die. Life Is given for life, and at last the life of His Son is given for the world. When that is done, all bloody sacrifice is abolished.
 Gains Rebellion Against God.
 Gains sin of substitution, offering something in the place of what God had commanded, because he thought 1t would do just as we'll was in reality rebellion against God. And when God explained to him the reason why his offering was re- iected, instead of repenting and doing what God required he became angry with his brother. Disappointment and anger lead to jealousy and envy The story is true to human nature. Failure envies success The "outs" are always against the "ins." Human nature was just the same with the children of Adam as it is in this twentieth century A. D. Envy led to murder, and murder to lying and anarchy. denying all responsibility in hu- man society This, then, was Gains sin: Rebellion against God, envy, jealousy, anger murder lying, anarchy.
 For all this God sent him into exile. Was the punishment too great? He said it was greater than he could bear. Yet, exile from home, from country and from God, does not seem too severe a punish ment for one who had sinned so grievous- ly To assuage his fear God placed mark upon him. forbidding any one to kill him. for vengeance belongeth unto the Lord" and not unto man.
 Now, as human nature is the same, as human needs are the same so is God the same. He is loving and merciful to the humble and obedient, but no guilty man can escape the Almighty. It be- hooves us then to seek to know His will and to keep His word faithfully. Nature keeps no secrets from God now. and in the judgment every secret thing shall be laid bare Then, turn 10 the cross of Christ In that alone have we hope.
 Tn the cross of Christ I glory,
 Towering OCT the wrecks of time, All the light of sacred story
 Gathers round it's lead sublime"

nended balance. twice the amount recom- meuded by the engineers. MT. Clayton's district borders on the whole of the Chat tahooehee river navlgable in Alabama The city of Eufaula and all that section below Columbus and west of the river will be greatly benefited by this improve ment Apalaehicola at its mouth Is well provided for.
 The Conecuh River.
 "The Conecuh river gets $31 ,00O inc amount estimated to complete the inn provement. The Choctawatchee gets S15,0OO fer continuing the work, and l regard as very important the survey and estimate of cost for this stream from Newton, Tn Dale county. to its mouth, with view to a three-foot channel by a system or locks and dams the year round. This pro- vision in the bill is in large measure due to the untiring efforts of MT. Clay ton, who rendered valuable aid in pre- senting the case with such force as to convince the committee of it's importance. This stream runs through large portion of his district, and through a section which is rapidly developing but suffering for want of some means to regulate rall- road rates. and it is confidently believed that when this river is improved the ben efts will more than justify the eXpehdl- ture.
 q have been greatly disappointed in not being able to induce the committee to take up the improvement of the Tom bigbee river from Demopolis to Colum- bus, Miss, but it was quite impossible to overcome the adverse report of the engineers The local engineer who made the survey, the chief of engineers and the board of review all reported against the improvement mainly, believe, on ac- count of the expense to be incurred.
 Splendid Showing.
 'I should say that the splendid show ing for Alabama in this bill is the result of the united effort of each member of the Alabama delegation. They have rem dered valuable aid in presenting the merits of each case. MT. Underwood has rendered valuable aid in the Warrior sys- tenn project, MT. Richardson has been un- tiring for the Tennessee, MT. Burnett, MT. Bowie and MT. Heflin for the Coosa and the Alabama. Mir Wiley has consistently worked both for the Alabama and the CEoctawatchee and MT. Taylor has been invaluable to Mobile and the Bigbee and the Warrior improvements. All of them arc entitled to full credit. Perhaps no delegation in Congress has for the last ten years worked together more harmon iously for the accomplishment of d great purpose than have the members from Alabama in the work of securing appro- pria tions for the Improvement of her rivers and the harbor at Mobile. If the work is prosecuted for the next ten years as vigorously as it has been in the past ten years you may expect to see every stream in Alabama, which is navigeble at all, open to commerce every day in the year. With his as an accomplished fact l canal from the Warrior to the city of i Birmingham and the Panama canal com ] nleted, Alabama will then have entered i upon a degree of prosperity and growth exceeding that of any other southern i state.'

GERMAN ELECTIONS,
Regarded as Distinct Endorsement of
 Imperialism.

Paris. January H.-Examining the re- suit of the German elections from an in ternational standpoint, practically the en- tire French press unites in regarding 1t as distinct indorsement of German i'm perialism, and therefore of the highest importance and disquieting especially to Great Britain and France.
 The Figaro alone combats this view, being of the opinion that the desertion of the socialists in favor of the liberal par ties would not have been possible if the latter had not recently clearly manifested a desire for a personal form of govern ment, n consideration with which the gov ernment must reckon hereafter.
 The advanced socialist organs are un- able to conceal their grief at the set back eiven to the international move ment.

A delegation of Birmingham citizens will go to Montgomery today to fight the two bills which have been introduced in the legislature, one seeking to prevent the operation of freight trains on Sunday and the other known as the employers liabil- ity bill.
 The crowd that will go to Montgomery is variously estimated at from 5o to 15o and it is impossible to make any estimate or how many will go. There has been large number slgnfying their intention of going this morning.
 The delegation will be composed of the leading citizens in every line of business. as the business men of Birmingham are practically unanimous in their desire to defeat these two bills.

 "If the railroads could not operate trains on Sunday it would decrease the number of engines used per year by one seventh. In other words, fifty-two days would be practically cut off of the year, and the engines would not get out of con- dition as they do now. In fact, it would amount to more than one-seventh, for the railroads do more than one-seventh of their transportation on Sunday.
 About 80 per cent of the machinists work in the railroad shops and therefore 80 per cent of us would suffer if this bill were passed, and the other 20 per cent are certainly with us in this matter.

When Man Becomes a Bird

From the Philadelphia Record
 The ability to move about in the air from place to place at will and at any considerable speed would bring about such changes as defy the imagination to conceive. It would revolutionize the processes of both peace and war. Ii would probably go far to prevent wars by adding so greatly to the means of destructive assault. What army or navy or town or city could be success fully defended against an attack from the clouds? It would solve the problem ot rapid transit by making air line movement possible. And how would the air be policed? What surprise par- ties there would be when every owner of flying machine might undertatke to play the part of Asmodeus! But if is too soon to speculate. For the present We must be content to walk or ride about terra tirma as best we can.

 To Improve the Coosa.
 "In view of the fact that the improve 9nent of the Warrior and Tennessee rivers is provided for. it will now be possible fo take up and vigorously prosecute the 1mproVement of the Coosa from GadsdeN to Montgomery, and il is reasonable to expect that every lock and dam above Wetumpla will be utilized in the develop ment of power for manufacturing pur- poses. and that the portion of the state through which the Coosa runs will be the equal of any other section in com mereial value and importance. In the present bill, Coosa gets $500OO for main fenanee and survey and estimate of cost for a lock and dam at Horse Leg shoals. and a survey and estimate of cost foi dam at lock site i. below River side. l regard this as very important, since it takes mp the work on the Coosa, which at one time seemed to have been Indefinitely postponed.

KISS BRINGS FIRE ENGINES.

than was absolutely necessary.
The postman was swinging along
the corridor the other day, his heart
beating a trifie more quickly than
usual, as he neared the office where
his sweetheart is employed. Just
then the door opened and she came
out. The couple walked along a few
steps together, chatting gayly The
corridor was deserted, and the gallant
letter carrier decided to embrace the
opportunity and the girl at the same
time. He succeeded in kissing her
but the suddenness of the affair
startled the girl and she broke away
from his encircling arm. In so doing
she upset small ladder, which fell
against the fire alarm box, smashing
the glass and pressing the electric
button in full accordance with the

The girl fled to her office and the
postman disappeared around a corner
of the corridor, and began delivering
mail with fiendish rapidity. When
the firemen arrived they saw the
broken alarm and the PROSTATE lad

situation as false alarm They
didn't know how the ladder happened
to fall, but blamed the usual skylark

more large white birds sitting or
standing in their housetop nests.
The stork fits southwark in the
winter and stays until it grows warm

bird, though it has been found ex-
tremely difficult to introduce the stork
into strange countries. Several un-
