with the object Of cleaning up the pro-
bate calendar. Dating back for many
years there are several hundred cases
which never have been disposed Of by
the filing of a release Of administrator,
executor or guardian. They are main
ly small matters where little or no
property materialized and they hav,
been left unfinished upon the records.
Notices have been sent out in all such
cases and Judge Smith intends that
the books shall be cleaned Up for a
new start, if possible. The action is
causing great annoyance to many per-
sons, who thought the matters ended.
but it will serve to clear up the old
probate records. =.
Martin P. ouigley. treasurer Of the
Wisconsin Grain & Stock company,
was araigned before United States
Commissioner Spencer last Saturday
IN the federal building and pleaded not
guilty to the charge of perjury. Quig-
ley waived preliminary examination
and was held under $500 bonds to await
the action Of the federal grand jury
which will sit in St Paul in June. The
charges of perjury which have been
preferred against Quigley grew out of
the Woods trial which came to a SEN
sational end last Monday in the United
States district court. when two Of the
jurors were charged with improper
conduct. Six other officers and clerks
of the company were brought before
the commissioners, when they waived
examination and were held for the
grand jury under like bonds. The
complaints against the other respon-
dents charge the use of the postoffice
establishment in furtherance Of a
scheme to defraud.

Soil Survey In Alabama

The state and the federal authorities are cooperating with view to the completion of the soil surveys in the 67 counties in the course of two years. The general government will spend s25 ,O0O in expediting the work, and the expectation is that dozen counties will be covered simultaneously by the parties in the field. Possibly one-half of the counties in the state have been surveyed, and the remainder speedily will be.
 When the work is completed there will be no further excuse for ignorance of the soils of this state, for 67 pam phlets will furnish all needful informa- tion. Every soil in county will then be described and all it's production pos abilities set forth. A soil survey in Perry county procured at the instance of Congressman Underwood, is leading to the culture of tobacco in this state.

Roof Gardens.

There have been reports from time to time that some of the tall buildings in Birmingham would have roof gardens, but as yet all those have been mere rumors. l am glad to know, however that Terrace Court will have roof gardens" said man who has been about the world a great deal. Nearly every other city in the country has a roof gardens on some public building and Birmingham should never be behind
 MT. Massey tells me that he will have two gardens on the roof of Terrace Court, one on the front of either of the two wings, and that there will be large grass plats, with walks, rustic seats and vines of all kinds. It will be an ideal place in the summer for the people who live. in Terrace Court, and they can also en!er- tain their friends on the roof.
 'The space occupied by the roof garden will be about 50x100 feet, which is of con- siderable size. The garden will be planned by an architect and will be along the most modern and beautiful lines. It is another step towards making Birming- ham the most up-to-date city in the south"

Justice At MatteaWan

The judge before whom came the De- tition of Thaw for release from the asylum for the criminal insane at Mat teawan has decided that it woHd be unsafe to turn the prisoner loose. He broods too much over fancied wrongs. He has plain paranoiacal tendencies. He has but recently threatened the lawyer employed by his wife in her recent suit for divorce. His tendencies render him dangerous. The recent de. cision in the case is considered just by critics, and the general public is be- ginning to commend it.
 The only relief open to Thaw con sists. at present at least, in inducing the court to consent to his transfer to private sanitarium, he to foot all bills growing out or the change. This may be done, but if it is not, then in- deed Thaw must stay at Matteawan, and we will have heard the last of the celebrated case. It is at any rate q belated vindication of New York jus tice, for it shows that a rich murderer cannot always secure immunity and freedom there.

Stephen D. Lee

The commander-in-chief of the Con- federate Veterans fell in the line of duty at Vicksburg just as the eigh- teenth reunion was about to be assem- bled in this city. The approaching re- union will particularly recall his splen, did services and mourn his death. It will be another sad reminder that the veterans of the Confederacy are fast passing away. Stephen D. Lee was lieutenant general of the Confederacy, and there are but two officers of that high rank living-A. P. Stewart of Tennessee and Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky.
 General Lee was a South Caroinian and was born in 1883. He was gradu- ated at West Point and he setved ia the regular army until he joined the CCnfedoracy. His record in the Con federate war was one of hard fighting, skillfur leadership and notable achieve ment. He directed the first shot of the civil war. and when not recovering from wounds he fought at the head of his corps to the very end of the war
 General Lees life after the war was that of a planter, an educator, and finally national park commissioner. He never sought political office, but he was elected a state senator and he aft erwards became a member of the con- vention that framed Mississippis pres ent constitution He will be buried at Columbus, Miss, where he had long lived and where he was greatly be- loved
 All reunions of the Confederate army are necessarily commemorative. Each one mourns an additional member and the eighteenth reunion comes at time when the great sery- ices of Stephen D. Lee will be fresh in the minds of all who attend it. His long and noble life should leave a deep impress upon the sons and daughters who will throng our streets next month Stephen D. Lee will rot be present in person, but the speakers Of the reunion will recount his services and extol his virtues until those who come will almost be able to Seq with their mist-covered eyes the form of their late commanderin-chief.

HE ASKED THE BLESSING.

From the Washington Herald.
 Some years ago Champ Clark got off the following story:
 An old negro preacher had been in- vited to dinner on a certain day by one of the prosperous members of his flock, who lived some distance from the home of the parson.
 The appointment was precisely at i2 o'clock; the parson made a nasty toilet and was about to set out for the feast visions of fried chicken dancing before his eyes. when a couple came in to be married. If 1t had not been for the fee this break in the arrangement would have disconcerted him.
 He made up the lost time by quicken ing his gait, arriving just as the folks were arising from the table
 Apologies followed, and he was invited to sit down to the table and make the best of bar bargain. He didn't need a second invitation, but before commence ing, the hostess said: 'Parson Jones, won't you please ask a blessing?'
 Looking with a wistful eye at what was left of his dreams, he bowed his head and proceeded as follows:

He did not move a hand to influence a member or Sen ator, Dear" Burrows alone excepted.
 Fat-frying will soon be started in a manner that will surpass even she campaign of 1896, and it is reported that Andrew Carnegie has already agreed to contribute $250,000 to the Taft slush fund. The indications are that we are to have the slushiest cam- paign in all of our foul political his tory, and that the price of hobo votes in congested districts will be marked up. The plans and hopes of the repus- licans are based solely on money, and the tariff benefeiaries will be assessed for vast amounts.
