Tive Tracts,

New York Sun Crep.)
To attract votes, silent votes, Mr.. BRYAN
is circulating two political documents of 4
strictly personal nature. One is the prince
or Peace" sermon. which is mailed TO
members OF all denominations It is eX-
pected to do effective work among the
religious and benevolent, to whom Il is n
bid to support Mr.. Bryan as a trrIy vlr-
tuous man of lofty ideals and altruistic
purposes-the good mar who could do no
wrong.
The other document is an account Of M.
Bryan's visit to the Vatican. in which he
gives an appreciative and pleasing picture
OF Fius y. This is sent only to Catholic
voters.
There is no reason why any one should
resent Mr.. Bryan's unctuous solicitations
TO vote for him for reasons OF religion.
They will react upon him, for the Amerl-
can people hate a humbug.

MISTRIAL RESULTS
 IN PIG FORD CASE
JURY UNABLE TO AGREE ON THE BLAME FOR NEGROES DEATH AT PRATT MINEs-SUIT BROUGHT FOR $3o,ooo.


 Unable to agree among themselves as to and Railroad company, through its agents, was responsible for the death of Pig" Ford, the jury in the case reported a mistrial to Judge Senn yesterday aft ernoon shortly before 2 o'clock, after be- ing out since about o'clock the preced- ing afternoon.
 It seems that the 12 men composing the panel were hopelessly divided. From all accounts six of the turymen wanted to give Minnie Payne, administratrix of Ford's estate, damages for the negro's death, while the remaining six were equally as firm in the belief that the de- fendant company was blameless for the death, discredlting the testimony which tended to show that Ford's death was the result of the severe whipping said 10 have been given by the bosses
 The style of the suit was Minnie Payne, administratrix. vs Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and was for $3O,- 000 damages. The suit was based on the death of Ford, something less than a year ago, while he was serving a sentence in the defendant company's mines at Pratt City. It was alleged by the plaintiff that the negro's death was due to the eff fects of the whipping, which is said to- have literally torn the skin from the flesh. Boss Lovejoy is said to have applied the lashes. The respondents claimed that Ford's death was due primarily to pneu- monia

 It is also pretty well settled that the Copeland resolution cutting salaries will be pigeonholed, 1t being argued that in- asmuch as the city refused the raises which were requested last summer, when all classes of people were receiving salary raises, the present standard is as low as the situation requires. The charity ap- propriations will more than likely be re- stored

OLD COMMANDS IN
 SOUTHERN STATES
SAVANNAH HAS FOUR MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS MORE THAN A CENTURY oLD-PRESERvE CAN NON TAKEN AT YORKTOWN.

To the Editor of The Herald.
 The Macon Telegraph of even date gives a liberal extract from your col umns, Some Famous Military Organ nations" stressing the Ancient and Honorable Artillery corps of Boston and the Old Guard of New York. You can come nearer home and locate in Georgia seaport city-Savannah-four military organizations that antedate the "Old Guard" by many years.
 The fine troop of cavalry the Geor- gia Hussars find tn cir lineage back into colonial days; the splendid Chatham Artillery in 1888 celebrated its centen- nial with President Jefferson Davis as it's chief guest; the Savannah Volun- teer Guards, now a battalion of four companies of heavy artillery, became one hundred years old in 1902, and the coming spring the Republican Blues will celebrate its centennary These military organizations all saw active service along the lines of their century.
 The Chatham Artillery possess two old smooth bore brass cannon pre- scented to the battery by Washington and Marquis De Lafayette. These two priceless trophies were captured from Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Va, and are perhaps the only two field guns now in active service taken at that of- ficers surrender. Of course they are obsolete as compared with the long range quick fire. breechloaders of the present era, but they are very dear to every member of this old and highly esteemed command.
 In the conservative county of Liber- ty there is also a gallant troop whose birth was more than a century ago. If the writer mistakes not "the City by the Sea-" aristocratic old Charles ton also has one or more military or ganizations that have exceeded the cen tury mark in their history.
 You see, MT. Editor. we don't have to go so far away from home to find antiquity in the organization of mili- tary commands. G. N. SAUSSY, Colonel and A. O. NJ, General Staff De-

TWO BIRMINGHAM
 MEN DIE IN WEST
J. c. Price and J. Walter Vinson Pass Away In Arizona Under
 Similar Circumstances.

News received yesterday of the death or two well known Birmingham citizens in the west bears several striking coinci- dences. The two men were J. c. Price and I. Walter vinson and the word Of their decease is received with the keen est regret by friends living in this city.
 Suffering with tuberculosis MT. Vim son left Birmingham about two weeks ago for Phoenix, Ariz., with the hope of regaining his health. A few days later MT. Price went to Phoenix suffering with the same disease and decided to remain in the west for time, hoping to benefit by the change of climate, as did MT. Vinson.
 Neither of the men grew better, and both died on Sunday morning. E. T. Shaw received notification of their death yesterday afternoon. but on account or wire troubles information regarding the decease of the two men is meager. The remains of both will be brought back to Birmingham for interment.
 J. c. Price was for along time en- gagged in the livery business in Birming- ham, and J. Walter Vinson was promi- nently connected in Birmingham with a Huntsville mill concern. The two men were generally known and very popular here,

TEAM OF OXEN
 GET WHOLE STREET
Big Prairie Schooner Wendno Way Down Avenue Stopped Traffic
 for Time Yesterday.

"Oid Brandy and "Old Whisky" snr- mounted by pair of bright red socks jeans brooches and topped off with a griz- zy beard, perched on the front seat of d prairie schooner, jerked Birmingham to sudden realization of the fact yesier day afternoon that this metropolis was not altogether removed from the country.
 Oxen in the capacity of beasts of bur den are rarity in Birmingham. and the appearance on Second avenue of a rick ety canvass-covered wagon drawn by a yoke of these slow-moving animals, caused a suspension of business along that hustling thoroughfare until the strange outfit had moved out of sight.
 But the driver was the strangest part of the parade. His long hair and bushy beard, slouch hat, dark shirt and jeans coat and brooches, with dainty red socks peeping coyly out above his brogan shoes, reminded one of the time he studied his- tory at school and looked at the pictures of the ancient pioneers.
 A long whip was his only driving rein. and with 1t he beat first upon one animal and then the other as he guided them up the avenue. He had the right of way. Huge trucks and light traps backed out of his way and allowed him the entire street while he passed.
 At Second avenue and Nineteenth street each animal decided to go in an opposite direction, one selecting North Nineteenth and the other South Nineteenth street, and Reuben almost wore his arm and whip out in the endeavor to make them compromise and go straight ahead up Second avenue.
 It happened that the traffic at this cor ner was particularly heavy at this time, especially so with street cars. The ami mals became frightened at the cars and would dodge out of the way of one only to find themselves facing another. The journey down the avenue was completed without mshap.
