NO FEAR IN LOUISIANA.
 STATEWIDE PROHIBITION

New Orleans, La, Jan. 1o-(Speciai.) While the people of Louisiana are determined to restrict the political in- fiuence Of the saloon interests, and to that end the Legislature has enacted a law known as he Gay-Shattuck law for the regulation of saloons and the reduction of their number, some fur ther legislation will probably be found necessary before a permanent solution of the liquor problems can be found.
 The law in question did not receive the careful consideration that should have been given 1t, and does not dis criminate between 6 properly conduct ed restaurant. social club or cafe. and low class dive or brothel. As a result much confusion now exists in New Or leans, the District Attorney having brought suit against the Grunewald Hotel the Chess, Checkers and Whist Club, the Boston Club and the Pick wick Club becausd they are located within 300 feet of church. but as yet nothing has been done to enforce the law against hundreds of objectionable saloons which the framers of the law desired to put out of business. The District Attorney says he desires to be- gin at the top rather than at the bot tom. In the end probably 800 saloons will be closed in New Orleans as ., result of the new law, and at the next session of the Legisla ture 1t is prob able changes in the law will be adv0. "ated which will further regulate ob- jectionable places but which will be less harsh on properly conducted ho- tels restaurants ana on social clubs.
 The better class of people in New Orleans are determined that the sale of whiskey shall be adequately reg ulatd, even if prohibition is necessary but careful students of the situation do not think the commonwealth will have to go that far.

This win bring Great CT Ensley up to city of about 15.ooo, If not more, and provide a city that will equal any of the smaller places in the State. Already the Postofhce De- partment at Washington has deslgnat- ed Ensiey and Pratt City as one postal district with the main office in Ensley and the Sub station in Pratt City. The addition of Vivian will bring about further Improvements in the postai line. including free delivery for Pratt City. Ensiey and Vivian.
 It is understood that a little later another municipality or community known as fairview situated on the southwest of Ensley, wiii take up a proposition looking to a consolidation and this will add two or three thous- and more inhabitants to the city and will approach the size of some of the towns outside of Mobile, Montg omery and Birmingham. In Ensley. Pratt City, Wylam and Sandusky, which are all in a little cluster. just west of Bir- mingham. 1t is estimated that there are no less than 7c00 men employed by the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Com pany alone.

A MASQUERADE BALL.

Troy, Jan. 1O.-(Special. 1.-The high tide of the social season was reached Thursday evening in grand masque- rade ball given by the Elks of this city.
 For a week or more elaborate prep arations had been in progress. Every body was concerned with masks, wigs and costumes. SO that when the cul- minating moment was reached, the moment of the opening of the ball, tip-toed expectation was fully and frankly met in the number and va riety of the impersonations which ran the entire gamut of the sublime to the ridiculous.
 Who is who and why" was a seri- ous and perpleXing question. The Great and the near great" were all there. King Henry VIII in royal pur- pie ermine and dazzling crown proved of the genial hosts of the evening while Mrs. Davids most cleverly rep resented the Troy Messenger" wear ing a modish gown constructed en- tirely of this popular sheet. Col. and Mrs. Graph Hubbard with powdered hair wore the stately and picturesque Colonial costumes. Cy Eoskins. the Mayor of Bingville, was acted by Chris Barr in as amusing costume and style dS ne IS depiClou III IHc Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Barr were fasci- mating in their impersonation of John Alden and Pricilla while Alex Hen derson as a Souave baffled recogni- ton.
 If precedence could pc siven where perfection was so plentiful. 1t would bc awarded to Glen Crouch and Miss Winnie Williams as Buster Brown and Mary Jane whose faithfully pictured costumes and mischievous antics were as realistic as could possibly be drawn from the colored supplement.
 After the asking tho dance was participated in by all present. the lancers and quadrille calling forth the beaux and belles of decade or more ago.
 Bailey Talbot revived youthful mem orles by calling the sets" in a voice which has lost none of its prestige of twenty years ago.
 Delicious fruit punch and ice cream in the colors of the Elks violet and white were served during the even ing.

A SEA-GOlNC RAILROAD

the home of the cocoanut. The rail- road station is built in the center of one of the largest and most beautiful coocanut groves in the world.
 Leaving Long Key the train runs out on the great spectacular concrete via duet with which this railroad is asso- ciated in all illustrations. It is the longest viaduct of the whole system. and will be. for the eight mile jump at Bahia Honda is all over shallow water except one mile. This Long Key viaduct Is more than two miles long. Its beautiful arches are anchored firm 1y to the solid rock of the bed of the ocean and they bear the railroad track full thirty feet above the highest wa ter level On this viaduct the train carries one straight away from land. and to- the man on the rear platform the sensation of riding on an ocean, going railroad has come at last. The train runs slowly that everybody may see. The low fiat scrap of land which is called Long Key fades away until one can see only the suggestion of the waving tops of the coeoanut palms. In another moment. one thinks the train will be out of sight of land. Then the train dashes onto another island. and the whole illusion is spoiled.
 Reams have been written about the engineering feat of building this rail- road. Engineers have come from all over the world to investigate and ad- mIre. But now that the train runs over 1t every day 1t Is no longer the property of the engineer. 1t Is no long CT a construction problem. 1t is rati- road, and its chief interest in the fu- ture will be that of the things which the ordinary man will see from the rear platform. When it Is finished one can hear the porters in the railroad stations calling: All aboard for Hs- vanai This way for the Cuban Linn ited!"

WELCOME FOR
 BATTLE ABBEY Montgomery Would
 Make Fight for It. CONFEDERATE MusEUMwANrED This Is Logical City, If Richmond Is Turned Down. Repoftea Dissatisfactiea over Rieh- mend starts Talk of Montgomery
 Getting Another Historic
CONFEDERATE MUsEUMwANTE

The dissatisfaction in Richmond over the location of the famous Battle Ab- bey comes as a surprise in Montgom- cry. If the statement Is true that an effort will be made to move the Ab- hey to some other Southern city, Mont- gomery will be an active bidder for the Abbey and Montgomery will have more claims for the location of the Abbey than any other Southern city.
 Leaders in Confederate memorial work were inclined to think yester- day, in the absence of more definite Information, that the dissatisfaction was exaggerated. They thought that Richmond would do anything rather than see the Abbey so to some other city. But if removal is in prospect. Montgomery will be an energetic bid der for the Abbey which is the most famous of all Confederate monuments and museums.
 Inasmuch as the Confederacy was born in Montgomery and inasmuch as all the Confederate governmental his- tory in the early months of the great struggle was made in this city. Mont gomery may appropriately lay claim to having the Abbey. The people of Alabama could no doubt be interested in the movement for securing the Ab- bey for the first capital of the Con- federacy.
 In some respects Montgomery's his toric interest Is superior to that of Richmond. It would have the same advantage which made it the capital of the Confederacy-the location.u which Is in the heart of the South. as near ' to one part as another. A great many nave always thought that an error was made when the capitol was moved from Montgomery to Richmond. This was done originally in order to put the government as closely as possible te the seat of war. And some of the Con- federate Veterans still say that the Confeceracy would have been better off if the seat of government had been a little farther away from the gen erals and the armies in the field.
 At any rate MontGomery will try for the Abbey If there is any chance to get 1t.

I ; r.

The program for the convention is now be- ing planned but 1t is expected that the subjects will Include . general discus sion on Statewide prohibition, its success and how 1t can be kept en. forced. It is believed that by that time some Idea will have been received from all sections as to the results of the statutory law on prohibition and how the officials of the State are striv- ing to enforce it.
 Considerable interest has been dis played in Birmingham since the first watching the fights that arc being made on the law in both Montgomery and Mobile. It is rumored here that there is to be another tack taken on the law, and contention to be raised. probably, as to the law having gone through the Legislature legally.
