WARNED IN EIGHT LANGUAGES.
Maid Servants In MontcIaIr District
 Told Not to Blow Out Gas.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 The death of a young Hungarian girl who was overcome by gas on the first night she stayed at a new place at Cald- well. N. J., recently, has caused the Mountainsde Hospital managers of Mont clair to issue warnings in eight Ian guages relating to the proper method of turning off the gas.
 These warnings are printed on card, and will oe placed in the rooms of ser want girls throughout Montclair, Verona, Glen Ridge, Caldwell, Bloomfield and other towns that send patients to the Mountainside hospital. The warning as printed in English says:
 '.The burning gas must not be blown out only turned off. so that the key stands crosswise with the pipe; other wise the escaping gas will cause death." "
 The warnings in the other languages are headed German, "Warnung"; Swed- ish. warning; Hungarian, "Figyelem"; :; Polish, "zwazenie'; Norwegian. "Advar- sel''; Bohemian, "Ctete"; Slovenian, "Ci- tajte."
 The adoption of the warnings by the hospital managers was inspired by liar old Van Wart, 12 years old of Caldwell. who was stricken with sorrow over the tragedy of the girls death, and prepared the text in the various languages, which he submitted to the hospital managers

Legality Of the King Bill

The decision of the supreme court in a Greater Birmingham case absolutely assures the creation of the greater city on October 1 next under the terms of the King bill. This decision will be gladly received wherever there are men who desire to see this city placed on a large and just footing in any list of cities in the south. Thus far we have had in the census a Lesser Bir- mingham only-a Birmingham of less tAan 10000 people-and yet Jones val ley, having a common drainage and common public utilities, is full of a teeming population. The decision of the supreme court is an assurance that this condition will be promptly termi- mated on October l, when Greater Bir- mingham will stand out in its true strength and proportions.
 Ensley and Wylam could add spleu- didly to the general result, and when they see what is to take place they, too, may conclude to share in the glory of the greater town, of which nature has made them an important part. This is 8 question that should not he decided by officials. It is a question for the people, and every one should share in the decision.
 The legality of the King act has been frequently questioned. All seemed to be in doubt concerning it. The deci- sion of the supreme court comes, there fore, early enough to enable all con- cerned to get ready for the act of con solidation. It is timely, comprehensive and final. Greater Birmingham is now a certainty, and Atlanta, Memphis and Nashville will soon have a rival that will soon be on an open open arm of the sea in close touch with tidewater.

"TlGERs" IN BIRMINGHAM.

From the Washington Herald.
 .'There are 1000 blind tigers in Birming- ham today said J. A. Hicks of Att lanta at the Raleigh. last night "The prohibition law in our state is total failure. Instead of restricting the liquor traffic or eliminating the same, it has rot only increased the consumption of d. coholic drinks, but the article that is sold for whisky is simply vile, and in addition to that the stato loses the revenue which the saloons and similar places had to pay to the state and municipalities
 If intoxicating drinks have been dope away with for the purpose of minimizing crime in the state, the measure has failed so far to bring about the desired result. There are just as many inmates in the jails and poorhouses now as there were before the passage of the law. The only measure to improve the condition is to have a government inspection of all in- toxicatingi drinks which are intended for sale. A certain standard should be es- tsblished for all drinks, and if goods are offered for sale falling below the pre- scribed mark, the person who offers the stuff for sale should not only lose his H. cense, but should be punished to the full extent of the law
