The big battleships OF the United States
navy have thus far NSen named after the
states of the Union, and the cruisers for
the cities. But the department has a good
rule, by which the names of men who iu
the past distinguished themselves i'm the
service can be bestowed on the smaller
craft
Thus the memory of five naval heroes has
just been honored In the designations OF
the five new torpedo boat destroyers au-
thoriZed by Congress. Twenty-SiX such
names of famous officers have already heen
used, and to these the department has add

ty. forming more than 10 per cent Of its
population. were without representation /:
whereas. if election had been by districts
under Il just apportionment, three or Iour
Democrats might have been elected, and
thus minority. or proportional, rcpresen-
tatlon would have been secured.
Now the interesting thing is that eIec-
lion by sngle-mcmber districts is de-
rduuced in France rs not providing pre-
purtional representation, and the re
establishment of scrHfin dc lisfe is de-
manded in order thai the minority may
be properly represented. This apparent
anomaly is TO be explained by the fact
that an ingenious provision for securing
such representation is TO be embodied in
TIE scrHtin dc iisfo scheme. It is obvious
that while scrGtM d'Gfr0ndisSemcnt
gives each district representation ac-
cordlng TO the complexion OF its ma jo"-
ity. it leaves the minority unrepresent
ed SO that in Essex County. TO return To
that object lesson, il by gerrymandering
or otherwise eleven single member dis
tricts were formed, each with Il Repubii-
can ma ajority. The 40 per cent Of Demo
Gratis would be unrepresented inst as
they are now under scruiiH dc liste. The
French idea is To have all members for
Il county or department elected on Il
common ticket, but not all by the ma jor-
ity party. Thus, if there are ten MEM
bcrs for a department, and one party
casts 40 per cent and the other 80 per
cent of the bollots, the one Will elect
seven and the other three deputies. It
will be interesting to observe the man
ner in which this end is attained in
France. and it may be profitable for the
instruction of some other countries III

EXHIBITS WILL COVER WIDE RANGE AND WOMAN'S DEPART MENT PROMISES TO BE ONE MOST INTERESTING PLACE.

Three hundred and fifty prizes will be given away for the best exhibits of vari- ous kinds of woman's work at the State Fair this fall. In addition to the regular prizes offered by the State Fair associa- ton the merchants of the city have given more than 50 special prizes for the best exhibits Many of the special prizes are very valuable.

 For individual exhibits of woman's work $275 will be given. These prizes are for booths Sx16 feet. The only restric- tion which is placed on these exhibits is that they must represent the work of the home, displayed artistically in any manner that suits the taste of the ex- hibitor.
 In addition to these prizes for the ex- hibits something will be given each day at the woman's building. Tea will be served daily at the woman's building and every booth on the second floor will give away, souvenirs.

FREIGHT TRAINS
 CLASH TOGETHER
FIREMAN KILLED ON L. 6 N. NEAR WARRIOR-SEvERA CARS ARE sPLINTERED = OTHERS ROLL DOWN BEREAVEMENT.

Yesterday morning about o'clock around a curse about three miles above Warrior a southbound Louisville and Nashville freight and northbound freight of the same road came together With such impact that several cars were spihtered, and tumbled down to either side of a steep embankment.
 A fireman, a negro named Alexander, was killed. That every man in both en- zines was not killed is considered miracu- lous.
 What caused the accident Is unknown. The blame has not been placed.
 Passenger trains coming south and go- ing north were delayed. The fast train leaving Birmingham shortly after noon was delayed at the scene of the wreck fon several hours, reaching Cullman three hours late. Wreckers left Birmingham for the scene and managed to make an open ing after working about six hours. The track was damaged very little, though the ground was torn up on each side for con- siderable distance. Down the embank- ment on each side of the track the earth was covered with splinters. The damage to the engines was heavy.
 There were several remarkable ec- capes It is reported that the engineer of one of the freights rolled down the embankment in the body of his engine, and escaped with a scratch.
 r1l,< tN+o fa ivy nd n froir1t is unknown. Had the two trains been passengers, 1t is generally believed that the loss of life would have been heavy.

Great SVif7dIe Turned
 Up By The Police

What is alleged to be one of the neatest of swindling schemes ever worked in Birmingham was uncovered yesterday and seven men are confined in the city jail as a result of 1t, with anywhere from one to eleven charges against them, while detectives are searching for five others. one of whom is said to be the ring leader
 The Aluminium Manufacturing company with offices at 22OS Third avenue is the name under which the scheme was being worked. The proposition was to sell three-piece set of ware for $2 .35 and to allow the purchaser to draw a coupon. Some of the coupons were said to be blank. while the others called for pre- miums. anything from mahogany hat rack to an automobile. The purchaser paid $2. 8. received the ware and was told the premiums would be forthcoming shortly.
 A sudden filing of complaints against the concern were made 10 the police, 30 being made altogether. It is alleged that over 1900 sales were made by the concern during the few weeks it was in existence. It is claimed that it represented that it would receive the premiums from The Roosevelt Co.,, of Zanesyille, o.
 N. F. Ritchie or Richey, is the man said to be- the ringleader and who re- ceived all of the cash taken in. As yet
