Edgar Harm.

Saturday morning last. April
3rd., the death of Mr.. Edgar Ma
rim, one of our old and esteemed
citizens, cast shadow of gloom
over this entire community.
The death of this old gentleman
was not unexpected as he had been
sick for long time, and his ad-
vanced age, " years, was against
him and they knew the inevitable
had to come; but the death of the
head of a large family under any
and all circumstances is always
painful and sad.
Mr.. Msrin's health commenced
to fail him some years ago, and
day by day he grew weaker and
his eye sight grew dim until the
time when he was 80 weak as to
be compelled to take the bed he
could hardly see those around him.
Mr.. Marin was a christian who
was deeply interested to his church
and always took great interest
in all church affairs, and during
bis long illness endured his pain
ful suffering with the fortitude of
a true christian.
He did not want to die yet, be-
cause he wanted to live. longer with
his devoted wife and his children
he loved 80 dearly; but when the
summon came to him by the An
gel of death that his time was up
and he was called to render an ac-
count of his life to his Maker; he
was resigned and like true chris
tian he said "Let His will be done. /"
His funeral at three o'clock Sun
day afternoon was very largely at
tended and the floral offerings were
so profuse that they truly indica-
ted the high esteem enjoyed by
the deceased.

His Egyptian black ware. or basalt, in itself would have won renown for any other English potter. His warble wares are distinctive enough to have placed him high on the list of ceramic inven- tors,
 So it has come to pass that his earth- enware, the very English cream ware, or queens ware, as he termed it after l765, when Queen Charlotte gave him her patronage and commanded him to call himself Potter to Her Majesty, has suffered by being regarded as the poorer relation of his other work.
 It cannot be too strongly urged upon collectors to pay particular attention to three classes of cream ware. First, the undeeorated or plain, representing the most perfect symmetry and rivalling the work of the slyersnith There are de- lghtfu teapots of bold design and ex- ouisite dishes of pierced work without equal in English earthenware. Secondly. the transfer printed ware of the early days, when the cream ware was sent to Liverpool to Sadler and Green.

By BURR BLACKBURN.

One hundred boys in the arena of real boy life; hundreds of boys eagerly lean ing on the ropes with expectant smiles and envious eyes-such was the exhibit of the boys department at the Young Mems Christian association Friday night.
 To the casual observer there was noth- ing more inspiring than the spectacle of . hundred perfect young bodies moving in union with the music, following every order of the instructor. As one after an- other movements to develop the biceps. triceps, the muscles of the back, stomach and chest; as with the command "inhale!' a hundred mighty little lungs puffed out and then .'exhaled with a shout" as they marched to right and left and executed the marching drill, and then performed their stunts on the apparatus; men must needs say '"rhere's the brawn factory to build the backs to carry the burdens of Greater Birmingham
 The boys department at the Young Mems Christian association Is now at the best in Its history. Under the direction of Physical Instructor R. c. Cubbon and his assistant, R. P. Robinson, 1t has grown until classes have had to be divid- ed. This has been accomplished by mak- ing everything attractive for the boys. by variety in sports, and by careful attention to- the needs of every boy

 What It Costs.

physical examination. Measures to pre- vent nervousness, to reach weak parts, to correct carriage. and to strengthen back muscles are adopted rather than any attempt to make young giants.
 The system of the work appeals to the parent. From the moment the boys en- ter the gymnasium they are on the move. Games are conducted with the same care, and throughout they are taught to be young men. The boy with a bad temper soon gets 1t rubbed off, and clean sport Is the first principle Team play is an- other lesson well worth while, for there is no place like the association to teach a fellow the uses of cooperation. But there is special opportunity to learn lead ership. From the best of the boys a leaders corps is chosen, which gets spe- cial training and takes the lead in class work, both in keeping order. setting an example of gentlemanly behavior, and on the apparatus To make this leaders corps is the ambition of every fellow.
 Bath and Pool.
 But to the boy, of course, a good time is the most important requisite. and that he is given in healthful abundance. Be- side the variety of indoor gymnastics, he revels most in the bath and pool. Swimming and diving are mastered by a. boy within three weeks and in two months he knows all the tricks of the water. The city boy far outstrips his country brother in swimming, because he gets the proper instruction from the first. Two instructors, keep a careful watch on the boys while at their aquat- ics and there are never any accidents. This is treated simply as a part of the boys normal development. He is re- stricted in the use of the water to pre- vent any injuries to health.
 The outdoor life Is, however, greatly responsible for the popularity of the as sociation. Once a month the whole de- partment turns out into the woods for

A HURRICANE ON COAST
INSTEAD OF TIDAL WAVE

New Orleans, Sept. Pit will
probably be found, when a careful
and exact investigation is made, that
the damage done along the gulf of
Mexico was due not to a tidal wave,
strictly so-called, but to a wave raised
and cast inland by the force of the
terrific hurricane which swept over
the region. Whenever a gigantic wave
of water comes ashore with such cost
to human life and property the first
reports refer to the destruction as
caused by tidal wave, yet such waves
are rare, and by no means dreaded as
much as is the hurricane, which too
frequently sweeps across the south
ern portion of the country. The power
of such gales is tremendous, and
hardly conceivable to anyone who has
not witnessed their work. Such a
wind has plenty of strength to lift a
considerable body of water from the
gulf and send it whirling and roaring
ashore, and this, it may be believed,
is just what happened in Louisiana.

association is composed of represen-

death of President Haynes just before
the time scheduled for the meeting the
gathering was postponed until Novem-

time of preparation would be so short
this plan was abandoned. Instead it
was decided at meeting of the Sun
