WoOing Romantic Old ALnban,a
 Rafe Semnes and Friend Drift

With a crowd of three or four friends waving cheery though anx- ious goodbye. and amid prolonged shouts of bon voyage" Rafe semmes, a grandson of the Admiral. and Jim Frame. embarked at the wharf Satur- day afternoon in a canoe with the ex- pressed intention of floating down the river to Mobile. The craft was filled with the voyagers and provisions when majestically 1t was propelled Into the current of the stream, vanishing In few minutes from the eyes strain- ed longipgly after the bold watermen.

 Rafe Is the grandson of Admiral Semmes of Civil War fame and to his inherited instinct for the water the trip is attributed. When Jim was a very small boy he lived in a house where water was obtained from a well, So he was easily led by his forcefui companion into joining him in the momentous voyage.
 Elaborate preparations for the trip were made by the pair. Several drays were kept busy Saturday transporting materials to the wharf and friends were prevailed upon to lend their aid in getting ready the party. Cooking

SONG BIRDs IN PRISON.
Innovation in PenitentIary DIseIpline
 win Be Tried im Northwest.


 VIII Be Tried in Northwest.
 A dispatch from Tacoma, Wash. says that United States Marshal Chas. B. Hopkins, of Seattle. is trying an innovation in prison discipline at the Federal penitentiary at McNeil Island in the introduction of a score or more of English skylarks, which will here. after make melody from daylight until dark in the prison buildings. It ia the first time in this State. at least. and probably the first time anywhere, that the soothing effect of sweet music has been taken advantage of to tone down the temper and make docile the spirit of the hardened criminal Deputy mar- shals deputy sheriffs and peace offi- cers generally are watching the ex- pertinent with much interest
 ''The skylark cure" as 1t las al- ready come to be known, for the sul- len and sunruly prisoner, was a com- piete surprise to even the deputies and the clerical force of the marshals of- nce here, nothing being known of the impending descent of feathered song sters until the marshal walked into the ofnce day or two ago and made the announcement. Then 1t was learned that Dr. McCutcheon. of Tacoma, who has been importing tho larKs for months. was assisting the marshal in getting the larks and was himself enthusias- tic over the proposed cure for crime. An aviary. offering ample facilities for propagation, will be constructed at the penitentiary for the feathered reform CTS. and they will be amply cared for and coaxed to warble their joyful ser- mons in conformity to discipline from daylight to dusky eve.
 Marshal Hopkins has hs own ideas on prison discipline. In the East pen itentiaries are surrounded by high walls. an dthe barren gloom and bleak. ness of the spot often causes prison. CTS to go insane. There Is no wall around the McNell Island prison, nor will one be constructed if the marshal can help 1t.
 4 wall would shut out the inspiring view from the prison. and this, the marshal thinks, would be a calamity to those that endure confinement there. Experience has proven that the water wall surrounding the island prevents prisoners from escaping. What with the beautiful mountain and water view and the lark concerts that will hereaf- ter be a feast of song throughout the day, the prison will be a place where a prisoner of an esthetie turn of soul will at least find life tolerable.

 With a mental execration upon his careIesspess. he fell into a profound meditation, the result of which was that he took "the roundness of the moon. the unduiating curves of the ser- bent, the graceful twist of the creep ing plant, the light shivering of the grass blade and the slenderness of the willow. the velYety softness of the flowers. the llghtness of the feather. the gentle gaze of the doe, the frOiic- someness of the sunbeam, the tears of the cloud. the inconstancy of the wind. the timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock. the hardness of the dia- mond, the cruelty of the tiger, the heat of the fire, the chill of the snow, the .cackling of the parrot and the cootng of the turtle dove"

DISCREDITS REPORTS
PRHsIDENr KAvANAUGH TALKS OF
 FRANK INCIDENT.
Ridicules Idea That the Pelican Man sger Would Make . Remark that He Was Drawing "nn
 Unearned Penefon.~

Memphis. Tenn. July 13.--fSpecisl. ) President W. M. Kavanaugh disered- it's published reports einanating from New Orleans. quoting Manager Frank with accusing him of drawing an un- earned pension" as head of the South ern League.
 The Southern Chief. in conversation with newspaper men. ridiculed the idea of Frank making such a remark, and took the news with smile on his face and a shrug of his shoulders.
 At the same time 1t is known that the publication of statements that the Pelican manager had begun to poll the potent referees really existed in the circuit has caused a change in Presi- dent kavanaugh's plans to add new faces to the list of diamond rulers
 President Kavanaugh will not say that he intended dismissing any mem Der of the present stan. But he admits that he has suspended with an effort to get other umpfres. He does not ad- nit that the publication of the state nents that a poll of the league was responsible for his action, but those who know him believe that for no other reason than that he might be regarded as leaning to Q manager of his cir- cult he has called of all negotiations for Umpire Moran and another official who had practically accepted terms af- ter being recommended by a major league President.
 It is also said that quiet investiga. ton is going on to find out whether Manager Frank has been quoted cor rectiy in referring to President Kaya- naugh as drawing an unearned pen- sion" in salary. The war of elimina- ton, 1t Is believed, will be sounded if Prsident Kavanaugh's probe finds that the Pelican manager has been quoted correctly. and while there is no rule in baseball where any manager can be courtmartialed or tried for in- dulgipg in the privilege of free speech, yet those who know. Judge Kavanaugh say that the circuit will not be big enough for both him and Manager Frank if the remarks pan out to be true

Chureh,s Youngest ChiId
 Rome, July 12.--The Pope today re- ceived in private audience the students of the American College, headed by the rector. Mgr. Kennedy. for the presenta- tion of their felicitations on the occa- sion of the Papal jubilee.
 Mgr. Kennedy delivered an address in which he said that the American College represented a young country, but one as loyal to the papacy as the oldest of the Catholic countries The Pope in reply thanked him cordially, saying:
 America Is young. but the father always loves more the youngest child. In every family there Is a Benjamin 1; America is the Benjamin"
 The Pope imparted his benediction to American Catholics and to the insti- tutIon. represented by Mgr. Kennedy and others of tie clergy and the Amer ican students, and then said:
 ''The American College comes up to the ideal of what 8 college should be. It is a model bishop for study and for discipline"
 Mgr. Kennedy presented an offering of Sl ,0O0 from the students and also a painting of the Pope by A. Muller Ury of New York, under the belief that the picture would remain at the Vatican. The Pope. however, as expressing his admiration for the portrait, said that he preferred that 1t be the property of the American College as a memento of today's audience.
