LOCAL SAL0ONMEN ARE
 INTERESTED IN WHISKEY FIGHT

Considerable local interest centers in the fight that Birmingham whiskey dealers are making against the en- forcement of the local option law, and it is understood that the case will be brought to the Supreme Court from Montgomery.
 Probate Judge Samuel Greene, of Jefferson county, refused to issue 8 license to Ben Meyer some time ago. and was mandamused- City Court Judge c. A. Senn heard the case and sustained Judge Greene and dismissed the pleadinEs of Meyer.
 The petition of Meyer was a lengthy one and dealt principally with the con- stitutionality of the local option law under which the election was held in Jefferson county in October. It was averred that the law is unconstitu- tional and the usual techincal reasons were set out.
 Judge Greene's demurrer was to tho effect that he did not have right to issue such q license under the law and recites brief history of the eiec- tion. Notice was immediately given that the case will be taken to the Su- preme Court and transcript of the re- cord was ask ed for. The case. 1t is understood, will be filed with the Su- preme Court this week.

 M. DeIcasse. in his speech. practi- cally assumed personal credit, not only for the British, Italian and Spanish en- tentes with France, but also for bring ing Great Britain and Russian together. Asportion of the French press is of the opinion that M. Delcasse's remarks may bring a number of surprises. but a majority of the newspaper advice pru- dence. The cabinet reconsidered the situation this morning, but 1t Is not likely that M.

A MODERN SAINT.

There is a man in Labrador who, if
he had lived in bygone generations,
would have been canonized as a saint
That man is DR.. Grenfell.
All up and down that cherries bar
rem coast goes DR.. Grenfell in his good
hospital ship the "Strathcona" distri-
buting food and clothing, medicines
and treatment, administering justice
and recuing the shipwrecked. When
DR.. Grenfell come to Labrador there
was not a church, nor a school house,
nor court of justice, not doctor nor
hospital. Then came GrenfeIl, mis-
sionary, teacher, magistrate and ply
stefan. And the country took on a
new life and was regenerated, body,
maid and soul. On July "a DIR. Gren-
fell started out for the summer trip.
Two days later the "Strathcona"
fought her way into Indian Harbor in
binding gale. The following day
she gave succor to the distressed
fishing fleet for two hundred miles
along the coast. At Holton Harbor
| two schooners were pulled off the
rocks. Thirty miles farther north the
doctor and his men pulled four more
wrecks off the stranded shoals. Next
they rescuer sixty marooned sailors.
Nothing short of death itself can
stop this indomnitable man. The ship
"Strathcona" lost three Of her pro-
peller blades in that northern ocean
hundreds Of miles from machine
shops.
The doctor set to work and manu-
featured new blades out Of boiler plate
set them with cemen. and rivets in
freezing water waist deep Then the
doctor proceeded on his errand of
mercy.
Such men as DR.. Grenfell restore
faith in mankind and provoke admira.
ton and it is little wonder that his
people regard him as little short of
| divine. One of the most astounding
features of the work is the fact that
no organization is responsible for his
| work. He raises the money-he in
spires volunteers.
His own ambition is not for himself
he hopes to leave behind him the
| people Of that barren coast in a posi-.
ton to take care Of themselves.
And ever that intrepid noble nature
fights the battle against ignorance.
disease and disaster.

IN RE Mr.. HOoToN.

They are having quite time over
in Indianapolis. A young fellow nam
ed Motion, after practice of law for
two years obtained the office of prose-
cutting attorney. Now comes Judge
,ritchard of the criminal court before
the common council to urge that
funds be appropriated for the employ
ment of help" for Hooton-although
the prosecutors office is worth $15,-
900 to $4,000.
The practice of making the prose
cutting attorneyship place for young
men has both its good points and its
drawbacks. The good points are that
a young man has enthusiasm and a
reputation to make for himself which
will make him an aggressive factor in
protecting the interest of the county.
On the other hand young man as in
this case is apt to be inexperienced
and he often has to meet the most
SuihAlS, aIo aStoNS VI tliS lSSdl pIp-
fession in important cases. That is
the rule.
One of the foremost members of the
Wayne county bar once said: THE
custom of giving the position of prose
cutting attorney to young and mex
perienced lawyers is pne of the farces
of our judicial system. The county
should have for its prosecutor a man
fully equal to all emergencies and to
be able to cope with any man employ
ed against him. .....
AS in all other cases the question
OF compensation is at the bottom OF
the case. Even our own prosecutor
Mr.. Jessup, came out with a state
ment not long since, showing that the
compensation was uncertain and un
fair, especially in the case OF witness
es and travelling expenses
There is one thing which is appar.
ent to ALL The prosecutor like ever.

CHAPTER II.

~ Friday evening. March 10,
4 thunderstorm of unusual VIC
lence broke over London. 1t
~ was notably peculiar in GER
tain Of its aspects. The weather was
cold and showery, typical day of the
March equinox. Under such conditions
barometric pressure remains fixed rath-
er than variable, yet many whose bust
ness or hobby it Is to record such facts
observed a rapid shrinkage of the mer
curry column between the hours of
and 7. A deluge of rain fell for many
minutes and was followed about 7:30
p. N. by a mad turmoil Of thunder and
an astounding electrical display not
often witnessed beyond the confines of
the giant mountain ranges Of the world.
So violent and unnerving was the
outburst that the social life of Lon
don was paralyZed for the hour. The
alter parties, diners in the fashionable
restaurants, the greater millions anx
ious to get away from offices and shops,
those eager alike to enter and leave
the charmed circle Of the four mile ra
dius. were ruthlessly hidden to wait
while the awesome forces of nature
made mad racket in the streets. All
horsefesh was afraid. The drivers of
cabs and omnibuses were unable to
make progress. They bad sufficient
ado to restrain their maddened ami
mails from adding the havoc of blind
charges through the streets to the gen.
eral confusion caused by the warning
elements. Telegraph and telephone
wires became not only useless, but
dangerous, and the suburban train
service was consequently plunged into
tangle from which it was not extri-
Gated until midnight.
So general was the confusion, SO
widespread the public alarm, that the
sudden cessation of the uproar at
8 o'clock caused more prayers of thank
fulness to be uttered in the metropolis
