But Several Newly Elected officers
 Have Failed To qualify.

Commissions of the State to officers recently elected are being issued in a stream 50 rapid that the Secretary of State and his force have little else to do. By the hundreds last week. coro- ncrs. treasurers, superintendents oi education, commissioners, members oi revenue boards. justices of the peace and constabies qualified to serve their counties and made requisition on the Secretary of State for commissions to begin work.
 Saturday was the last day on which the officers elected November 3 could qualify unless technicality extends the period dntil Monday. There Is considerable doubt about the latter proposition, however. The law re- quires the officers to qualify within fifteen days after the returns have been canvassed by the county boards of supervisors. As some of the eoun- ty board did not meet for canvassing the returns until the Saturday fol- lowing the election there Is some question as to whether the officers elected in such counties have not until Monday next to qualify.
 On the other hand, as the statute seems to specifically command the canvass of votes in every county on the Friday following the election the

A TRIBUTE TO THE FATREST
 TYPE OF W0MANHOOD
Mrs. Mary Leyey, Who Died in Eng IRnds Beloved By All Who
 Had Known Her.

In memory of Mary the beloved wife of Mir. George Collins Levey, whose angelic spirit passed from earth to paradise on the 10th of <octo- Der. at her home No. 2. Montague Road. Richmond on Thames. Surrey, England. this is written.
 This announcement brings poignant sorrow tos very many hearts in the ly woman was cherished, for neither time nor distance had severed the ties that bound us.
 Born in Washington City, her parents. Mir. and Mrs. George Parker. she was highly educated, leaving her alma mater, Patapsco Institute, an ac- complished linguist and musician. After a short reign of happy girlhood. enjoyed with doting parents, and in luxurious home, >~she was married. May l. 1861 to Hon. John Edward BoulignN member to the House of Representatives from Louisiana, 8 very brilliant midday wedding, Mir Buchanan. President of the United States giving away the beautiful, popular, blushing bride. A few years after the four years struggle, Mir Bouligny died, leaving two young daughters. to whom the sweet mother devoted her life. In 1877. Madam Bouligny was married in Washington to MT. George Collins Levey, c. M. G., an Englishman. born in London. This gentleman was British Commissioner from Australia to the Centennial in Philadelphia, when the great exposi- ton took place. in 1876.
 Placing her little daughters at Mt de Chantal in Virginia. Mrs. Levey ac- companied her husband to his far away home. residing in Australia five years. before they went to England, making their residence at East Court. Kensington, dispensing an elegant and lavish hospitality to their large cotsrie of Australian. American and Cosmopolitan friends, Mir. Levey be- longing to the order of "St. Michael and George" given by the crown and tho oldest in England given by Queen Victoria. was widely known and es- teemed, while his wlfe's graces of per son, her unusual culture and rare social qualities. combined to make her home the favorlte and coveted resort of select circle, for. 'she touched nothing. that she did not adorn."
 Mrs. Levey's innate piety, a com municant of the Episcopal Church from girlhood, was shown through all her life! the gaities of two continents could not woo ner rom her Qally de- votions. Some years ago. she wrote Q charming little volume. descriptive of cosmopolitan life, which added to her fame.
 Her perfectly rounded character end ed in a painful and prolonged illness. which she bore with the unfaltering faith of a Christian. leaving her de voted husband, two daughters. two brothers and sisters to lament their irreparable loss.
 It may well be said of her. as was writ of a noble English woman years ago:
 Underneath this stone doth lie As much virtue as could die!
 Death ere thou has slain another
 Pure and good and sweet as she.
 Time will have hurled a dart at
 thee!"

Grave deliberations. arudite discus sions, earnest appeals to the Supreme Court potentates of the legal world constituted the order of Saturday business in the City. Court in Equity before Judge Sayre. And the motive of all this esoteric counsel was the en- deavor to solve the question: when is a peanut roaster nuisance?
 Mir. Levystein has asked. In oiii of complaint. that an injunction be issued against Mir. T M. Beauiord. the proprietor of a peanut roaster and popcorn pepper. situated at Dexter ana Court. The blatant squeals of the steam whistle. declares the bill IS nerve racking an discordant; the crackle of the hulls cast about the sidewalk and the sight of the debris is i'll fitting such a metropolitan vi- cinity: the immense structure of the mechanism obscures from the sight the store and windows of the orator, and a few other things.
 But not so, declares the Peanut Man. The whistle is beautifully in accord

been accosted on the streets by this dangerous stranger. who had his clothing disarranged. So far as has been reported his crimes have gone no further. But the situation has assum- ed serious aspect to those who are familiar wAh the attempted outrages and every effort is being made to catch the vicious perpetrator of the out rages.
 Manuel, 1t will be recalled. was bound over on the. complaint of num- Der of young girfs who gave the same account of his actions in accosting them on the streets. An effort was made to secure his release under a writ of habeas corpus in the early part of the week. but 1t failed.
 The new outrages have been perpe- trated since Manuel has been safely behind the bars. It would have been impossible for hlm to have had any part in them er any knowledge of them.
 The reports show that there is at large somewhere in the city some criminal with Manuel's vicious abnor- mality. The attacks have been con- fined to no one section of the city. They are alike only in that they have been attempted in the residential sec ton and away from the business dis trict and at widely different points. The attacks usually occurred directly after the early dark of these short days. The stranger is usually turk ing in some shadow and after his would-be victim has passed him. he follows and accosts her. Some of the relatives of the intended victims have hunted him with arms and if he had been overtal<en. the undertaken and not the police would have been needed.
 Vigilant efforts are being pursued to capture him and the public is asked to make immediate report of any sus- picious stranger seen in the early evening hours.

with the hustle of the streets, and lends a rythm and harmony to the atmosphere. And there are other ad- vantages declares the plea of the de- fendant. But still, 1t Is a question. and Judge Sayre must sleep over it's legal notifications before decision can be rendered.
 The case was heard in the Equity Court Saturday, taking up the entire days session. The matter is taken under advisement, and a decision on the plea for an injunction will be ren- dered Monday, in all probability.
 The legal entznglement of the Pop corn Man is well known to every Montgomerian. The City Council has threshed out the matter. and 1t has been discussed in everyhousehold. The Popcorn Man considers himself the unfortunate butt of an alliance be- tween another Peanut Man and the Store Man. or so he declares in his pleading, but Judge Sayre discounted the motive of the complaint. declar- ing that the motive for complaint plays no part in its settlement.

ATTACKS ON
 YOUNG GIRLS Abnormal Criminal Has Caused Alarm. HAS ESCAPED DETECTION Victims Have Missed Actual
 Harm. Attacks Occur In the Residential streets of the City In the Early
 Hours After Darkness
 Has Fallen.

Some mysterious. but vicious crim- tnal has attempted a series of outrages within the residential portions of the city. which have put the police and peace officers of the city on a search for a man apparently of foreign ex- traction. The would-be perpetrator of these attacks on girls and young wo- men, appears a cowardly sort of erim- inal and he has been fought of each time. without except in one instance, doing anything more than give his in- tended victims deadly nervous shocks
 Five attempted crimes by this abL normal criminal have been reported As yet he has escaped detection. The city is being closely searched for him, however. and should any one learn of another of his cowardly attacks, the Police Department and the Sheriff's of ice should be immediately notified.
 The most serious attack was made Thursday night on one of the we'll known ladies of the city. In the early hours of the evening after dark had fallen, she was on her way home in one of the best residential sections of the city. She was seized by a stran- ger of dark complexion, but a white man. and in the struggle she was thrown to the ground. She resisted the cowardly attack as best she could and so long was the struggle pro- fonged that the man became fright ened and fled through the darkness.
 Suffering acutely from the nervous shock, but sustaining no other inju- rfes, she was able to make her way home. She has since been confined to her bed.
 On another evening about dusk a man apparently the same one. ap- preached two young girls who were making their way along one of the res- fdence streets. After speaking to them he approached and seized one of them by the arm. She and her com panion screamed and fled. Their as- sailant ran off in another direction.
 In another portion of the city out rages similar to those for which John Manuel, a Greek, is in the county jail, were perpetrated. Young girls have

 The commander suggests that the model be placed in the rotunda of the state capitol building that citizens may see their representative in the navy department The model. while shipped to Montgomery several days ago, has not yet arrived in the city but upon it's receipt it is probable that the suggestion of Commander Magruder will be carried out.
