IRON here on his sixth long walk.
NJ. Grandin has the "wanderlust"
deeply ingrained in his nature, and
has already walked something like
$4,000 miles. The little trip on
which he is now engaged viii add
about 5000 miles more to his
record.
M Grandin is not one of those
persons who walks for a wager or
who starts penniless with the idea
Of earning or begging his living on
the way. He has the greatest
scorn for such "deux confines"
travellers, as lie terms them, and
says that he has met far too many
of them in all the countries he has
visited.
They are a trouble to the con-
sular officers" he declares, land
they bring their countries into dis
Tepute, especially in regions where
civilization is not far advanced"
saw NJ. Grandn in London just
before he started on his present
tour. He is the typical Frenchman
of the Partisan middle
sized, bearded, and vivacious-but
IN marching kit he looks the hardy
adventurer, and l asked HIM what
led him to become such great
pedestrian.

@T0BACcO TEA" WAS
 THE BEVERAGE FOR SAM
The Cruel Police ascusedS Him of Be-
 ing Drunk, and Arrested Him.

Sam Powers. Police Captain Smith says. is the "champeen" exponent of the booze habit of the city, aud has been arrested for following the exam pie Noah set long ago. about five hun dred times. In each instance, Sam has disdained the plebian method of plead ing guilty, and has extolled himself his good citizenship. and his ability to stop when he had enough. on each occasion.
 Yesterday morning Policeman Bow den heard Q peculiar noise coming from Boles' restaurant. the "SheFry's' of the negro quarter. and going to in- vestigate. saw Sam holding forth on his physical merits. Sam said that he was not only a good man. but that there was none better and that he could lick any man who ever drank milk.
 The officer told Sam that bed was the best place for him and besought him to retire, but Saal shook his head and told the officer that 1t was his personal private opinion that police were the scum of the earth.
 Bowden is one of the best men on the force. and through long experience much and he extended to Sam the hos
 
 Sam declined. He even said that coaxing was useless: that he owed the city a grudge and all the policemen In the world could not persuade him to go to the city hall.
 Bowden's argumen was short but brief. He got grip on Sam the way the policemen take Happy Hooligan tn the funny CD papers and took him in. In the Recorders Court yesterday af- ternoon. Sam said that he had not tasted booze in two weeks.
 Had you had any dopef" the Re- corder asked.

KEEPS THE RIGHT
COUNCIL AMENDS WATER MAIN oR-
 DENANCE.
Fixed Authority For Making The Con- neetions in the Hands of che Council and the
 Mayor

The City Council of Montgomery, in special session last night, made clear by ordinance, in whom the authority rested to grant the privilege for pri- vate individuals to connect their water mains with the mains of the Cloverdale Home Company. The City Council, hav- ing the authority to fix the authority. the authority was fixed in the hands of the City Council of Montgomery and the Mayor of the self-same municipal itv.
 The session of the Council was brief and entirely lacking in spice. The members voted in low tone and the ordinance went through without sim gle speech and with a lonely point of order to disturb the general peace Of the occasion.
 The original ordinance granting the Cloverdale Home Company the right to connect its private water maine with the water mains of the city, failed to specify in whom the authority rested to grant the privilege of some private citizen to connect his main with the main of the Cloverdale Company. Therefore the Council was called together and 1t took about two minutes for the Council to vest thcm- selves with the power. It was satis- factory to all concerned, however.
 The Council then granted R. H. Bcxo- man the right to erect an awning on South Court Street after an impasslon- ed plea made by Alderman Parrish and that same solon immediately moved an adjournment.
 For the first time, the Council voted in a loud voice and left the chamber in the sole possession of the janitor.

nRApsrREET's REPORT.
Good Crop Reports Create Growth in
 Confidence.

Good Crop Reports Create GfoWth '"
 New York, July 24--Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Good crop reports the advance of the season and growth in confidence as to trade outlook are reflected In re- ports of moderate enlargement or future buying at a few large centers, notably in the West and Southwest
 Industrial lines too. have been bene- fitted by evidences of revival In de- mand and the number of idle opera lives has been reduced as whole. still the progress making Is of very conservative kind. curtaiiment Of in- dustry is still a marked feature and small orders for immediate shipment largely make up the volume of busi- ness doing by Jobbers. Retail trade is fair as q whole. being stimulated by price reduction sales though complaint of stocks not moving rapidly come from some cities, and collections show little if any improvement. Best re- ports come from the central west, northwest and southwest and the exa cellent outlook for the cotton crop makes for 6 better tone of advances in the South.
 Tn the leading industries there is noted 6 more cheerful feeling In iron and steel, though transactions in pig . Numerous assumptions of car shop concerns are feature and the num- Der of idle cars has been greatly re- duced by the liberal movement of wheat to market. The coal trade Is rather dull Lumber has better tone and there is more doing In building in many cities. The reduction in prices of prints has induced freer sales of this product. but curtailment of production In this line Is stili enforced. Good TO- suits from the lowered price of staple mems wear worsted goods for spring are reported and raw wool is firm although quiter.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending July 23. number 2e3. against sBs last week and lb6 in the like week of 1907.
 Canadian failures for the same period number 2l against 27 last week and 24 in this week last year.

sically. His majestic form ana stat. ure awed his enemies, gave courage to his adherents. He was rnodaaf a4 the start; showede self-control ana tact; had some generous impulses. sT.- doubted courage. and genius for tao- ties.
 What ruined him was his lack oe consecration. He never rose 10 any adequate appreciation of his high eail- ing. He could never bring his will into alignment with the divine He never learned obedience. His self-wiIi ended in making him a hypoerite, a traitor to God. an insane foe to his fellows and to himself.
 The rejection of Saul was not an ar bitrary matter or piece of caprice fk was just as necessary as the expulsion from the orchestra of the musician who will not observe the directors ba- ton. Saul indignantly persisted in striking false notes. and spelling the harmonies of a divine symphony. He was repeatedly admonished and given new opportunities; but he was benf upon striking such potes as he pleased.
 
 To each rational soul kingdom is fair In sight of man. Not SO in sight of God and angelsi The moral quaii- ties required are the same as those demanded of Saul. WtIl our tiny king doms each be ruled according to the divine Ideal? That question is now solving in all human hearts. The event is for veal or woe. Saul is a colossal wreck, but he Is not the only one on the shore of time.

 Obedience--intelllgent exact, and loyal---is indispensable. There is no substitute. The perfection with which we do something else is no mitigation of the offense. There is no scale of equivalents. The conscious deviation of hair's-breadth spoils all Ths fat of rams can not take the place of obs- dience.
 We are inclined to critiolse Saul. But his offense is really very common. To- tai surrender to God Is the hardest lesson of a lifetime. Most of us are on the hunt of what we deem eQuiya- Tents.
 Some geese betrayed the Gauls in their night atack upon Rome. A cock gave the lie to Peter. Bleating sheep and lowing oxen mocked Tsraals king when he asserted that he had perform ed the Lords commandment. The ani- may kingdom often makes the witness stand against the sinner.

dynamited. As soon as the news reached Tuscaloosa, Sheriff Latham went to Yolande, carrying three depu- ties with him, and though nothing was heard from there yesterday. six more deputies were sworn in and have gone to that place. Up to this morning no report had been received here. and 1t Is thought that all the trouble Is about over. The mipes at Yoiande have suf- fered no embarrassment from lack of labor. as plenty of non-union labor Is to be had and the coal output continues on tho increase.

DISTANT TRIP
 SEEMS SURE Chickamauga May Yet
 Be Goal. GUARDsMEN CHERISH TRIP All the Supplies and New Equip
 ment Sent Out. Believed That Limit of Forces To Be Used in Birmingham District Has New Been Reachea-Numsers
 Estimated.

That the encampment of the three regiments of infantry of the Alabama National Guard and the Montgomery and Birmingham batteries of artillery will take place in Chickamauga Park beginning July 30. seems now a eer- tainty. The fact is that Adjutaht Gen. eral Bibb Graves has entertained no other idea than sending the troops to Chattanooga for the joint manoeuvars rsith Federal soldiers, although it was suggested that on account of the coal miners strike the men might be sent to Birmingham for the practices in- stead of the historic -battle-feld.
 The violence in the Birmingham dis trict has been so reduced in the last few days and the danger of serious outbreak being apparently small in the future, 1t is believed that enough troops are now on the grounds to pre- serve order and protect property. The men now in active service in Jeffer- son County are those of the 1st Squad ron of Cavalry. except Troop B of.Cam- den. and Battery c, of the list Artillery. together with three companies of the 3rd Regiment of Infantry.
 Colonel E. H. Graves of Eufaula. As- sistant Inspector-General of the Ala bama National Guard. who has been assisting the Adjutant General in the assortment and distribution of the new GQulUulcnt aALAfAAA AAOkA " aatAAttt- tNsAA this week. said the work of shipping out such equipment has been complet- ed. Everything and every man en- listed for the Chiclsamauga trip are expected to be in readiness with solid accoutrements and paraphernalia for the brigade encampment. The soldiers are reported as being anxious for the trip to begin. Trains already con. tracted for will leave the state with the troops July 2s.
 With the new shirts. ieggins, epaul- cites, cheyrons. blankets and other fix- ings in ship-shape. the soldiers will present shining front at the manoeus vers of Camp Taft next week. This equipment represents an expenditure of about $3s,000. The men are also sup piled with the most modern Springfield rifles.
 The reports of the commanding offi- cers have not been accurately com piled by the Adjutant General. but it is probable that no less than 2.4oo men will Ko to Chickamaugas Park.
 It may be that the number will fall under these figures on account of the sudden disappointment caused by post poning the trip for one week by command of the Governor.
 The orders broke Into the arrange ments already made by the men to get away on vacations, AS many such arrangemenfB could not be repeated. a few men may be deprived of the trip.
