Beads.


Beads are, perhaps, the oldest kind
or ornaments in all countries of the
world, and among savage races their
value as a form of money is well
known.
The beauties of ancient Rome were
very much In favor Of wearing amber
beads, amber having been introduced
after the expeditions of the Romans
to Northern Europe.
Glass beads were first made bv the
Egyptians, and the Phoenicians who
traded with Cornwall In far-off times
brought glass beads to the British
maidens, and when some of the an.
cient "barrows' were opened quaint.
ties of glass beads were found. az
fresh In coloring as the day they were
placed there with the corpse. says
Home Notes.
Venetian beads are world famous
on account Of their marvellous hues
and designs and, among the many at
fractions of Venice, the glass fac
tories at Murano should be omitted by
no visitor to the Queen of the Adrj-
attic"

 Montgomerians. and especially mem bers of the Commercial Club, were much disappointed at not having the opportunity to meet MT. Straus.
 Mr. 5traus was born in Columbus Ga, and 1t was hoped that he might find it convenient to visit this city In connection with the city of his birth. The following appended letter Is self explanatory.

TRADE SHOWS GROWTH.
Bradtstreet,s Regular Weekly Eteviev
 Of Trade Optimistic.

Bradfstreet's Regular Weekly Review
 Of Trade Optimistic.
 New York March e.--Bradtstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Distributivc trade shows growth from week to week as the spring sea- son approaches and the tone of trade as a whole is more optimistic, but de- spite the large number of buyers in evidence at leading markets. the char acter of the business done does mot vary from that hitherto described.
 Conservative buying, largely in sta pies is the rule. and the uncertainty as to prices in many lines acts as g check to fullest activity. This is especially manifest in some lines, as for instance cotton goods, where prices have been of late sharply reduced, without. how ever. evolxing the interest expected, In few, if any. cases are comparisons with year ago satisfactory, and a number of measures of monthly trade and industrial - movement point to shrinkages of twenty-five per cent or more, Collections are still widely com piained of, and in district reports are no better than are the advices as to volume of business doing. Retail trade does not quicken greatly, al- though olare6 eenters show special ef- forts put forth to stimulate buying either of winter goods at concessions or new spring season fabrics. The re- ports received from leading industries are still conflicting.
 The iron and steel industry unques- tionably has. better tone and the output of pig iron in February. a short month, seems to have slightly exceeded that of January although falling far behind a year ago. The textile trades show little change. There is much short time in all these lines. raw wool is moving only at concessions and the lumber trade is very quiet. One fact brought out is that in some distinctly winter trades. as for instance, ice harvesting with lack of money has caused restriction of cutting and storing.

TO HELP SHERIFFS
ATTORNEY GENERAL fNrEnPRErs
 LAW ON REMOVAL
Expenses win Be PsId By state On The Approval or The Governor. Railroad Corismissicn's Ex-
 penme BfIi.

sheriffs over the State can get re- assurance fin an opinion yesterday gtv- en the Governor by Attorney General Alex M. 0arber to the effect that "rea- sonabls expense biils'' for the removal of feions from point in another state to Alabama can be approved by the Executive.
 The opinion of the. Attorney General as asked for by the Governor who
 wanted to be sure of his authority
 to allow compensation to officers Of the law who apprehend felons On re-
 quisition and bring them to this. State.
 It has always been certain that ex- pense bills for the removal of pris- oners from any county in the State to another county in the State can be approved by the Governor.
 The opinion of the Attorney Gen. erai after reciting the provisions of the Alabama statutes on the subject. holds that the "compensation and ex- penses of the sheriff or any other per- son commissioned as an agent of this State for removing to the State to an- feion from another State may be paid on the approval of the Governor as in other cases of the removal of prisoners by the sheriff."
 Under this section, in my judr-
 ment," continues the Attorney General Ire Governor is authorized to approve
 an expense bill of sheriff that he
 deems reasonable In the particular ease.v
 Hence. the employment of a guard for removal of q prisoner from another State is not authorized under Section 556ss yet if the Governor sees fit, un- der Section 45ss. he will be Justified in
 case where necessity requires it to
 allow and approve such extra expenses on the part of the sheriff."
 Replying to a request of s. P. Ken
 nedy, of the Alabama Railroad Com-
 mission the Attorney General gave 1t
 as his opinion that the bill of a print ing company for the printing of the rules of practice and the general rail-
 fcad laws may be paid out of the gem erai annual appropriation for public printing The bill In question amount.
 ed to s272.s0 and is to be paid out of | the fund designated.

cub and for ths people Of hontEon-
 fn the afternoon Mir. Haas met Mir. Innes and 1t Is understood that they drew up the form of an agreement which will he placed, as tentative basis for discussion, before the mem bers of the Club tonight.
 The Commercial Club may tonight commit itself to the task of prepar- ing the festival. It is more probable that Committees will be appointed to make investigation into local condf- tions and ascertain just what support might be promised. That Mr.. Innes preferred that such an organization as ths Commercial Club. rather than some musical society created especially for the venture or even with a permanent standing. should insure the enterprise. Is presumed.
 Fessfvars wide scope.
 The festival as tentatively planned would endure three days and would bring together not only the musicians of Mir. Innes's company but amateur talent of Montgomery and Alabama, perhaps even of other States. A cho- rus of 200 voices or more would be organized under the supervision of To- cal leaders and be ready prepared for the direction of Mir. Innes. who would have general and yet personal control UA AAt aNftS MAAHtNAAn1s Att 011teAcn " the choruses. there would be local or chestras and soloists.
 The problem that confronts the Com mercial Club--indeed. the people of Montgomery. for the giving of the fes- tivai would he for the benefit of the people-is not only one of money but of sufficiency of talent to make of the three days of art not a series of con- certs by professional musicians. but al- together what the name means. a mu- sical festival. It is contemplated that the program, made up in part of num- bars hy musicians of Montgomery and Alabama shall afford to them not only l the opportunity to be beneficiaries of such tutelage as Mir. Innes could af- ford--a tutelage which however brief would be inestimable in its education of amateur musicians.
 It is into this portion of the field that the most minute investigation will be made.
