Death of Bishop Galloway

Although but 90 years of age at
the time of his death Charles Belts
Galloway and served 20 years as
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south. He was the youngest
man ever elected to that office in the
southern church. Almost from the out
set of his active life this gifted Mis-
sissippian became prominent. All his
mature years were filled with good
works chiefly in and for his chosen
church. He was a speaker that the
people heard with delight, and his
pen was ever busy. He is the author
of a volume on Methodism and still
another on Modern Missions. Four Of
his earlier years were spent in the
editorial control of the New Orleans
Christian Advocate.
He never staid long, however, away
from his native state. Born at hoS-
ciusko he made his home at Jackson
when he became bishop. The death
of this great leader falls heavily upon
a church that had lost four bishops
Duncan, Tygert, Cranberry and Coke
Smith-since the meeting of the gen.
eral conference in this city. 1t may
be not invidious to say that Bishop
Galloway stood at the head of the
church, south, and the task of finding
a man who will fill, in all respects,
his place will be difficult indeed.
AS a bishop he became known both
in the Old and the New World, and
in his travels he visited missions In
the Orient and in South America. He
became, too, leader in civic and To-
form movement. Especially as lead
er in educational work he left worthy
record. A great personality has been
taken away, and his death will be
widely mourned alike in and outside
the Methodist church.

Return of The WrightS

Wilbur and Orville Wright have
shaken off the kings of the effete east,
and they stand today among the SOW
ereigns of the boundless western
world. They come back as full of
silent modesty as they held when they
went away, although they bring back
many honors, and pockets filled with
orders. They do not permit them
selves to forget business in the rush
of glory that has overtaken in them.
The modesty and common sense of
the Wrights extends to their theory
of the use Of their machines. They
say it has and ever will have lrs
limits. They believe, however, it can
be rendered useful in military oper-
ations simply because it can be made
to rise higher than 1000 feet, which is
the upward limit of power in guns.
They have contracts with the German
government which are to be mauo
good as soon as the tests at Fort
Myer are completed ON June '28.
The Wrights have clearly proven
tht man can fly in heavier-than-air
machines, and neither the Wrights
nor any one else know what will grow
out of this discovery. No matter what
the final outcome may be the fame
of the two Ohio boys is assured, for
they were the first to demonstrate the
feasibility of flying in heavier-than-air
machines.

NATURE.
william Wordsworth.


For nature then
To me was all in all. cannot paint
What then I was. The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion; the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy
wood
Their colors and their forms. were then
to me
An appetite, feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
BY thought supplied, or any interest
Unborrowed from the eye. That time ID
past
And all it's aching joys are now no more
And all its dizzy raptures. Not for TINS
Faint 7. nor mourn nor murmur; other
gifts
Have followed for such loss, I would
believe,
Abundant recompense. For have learned
To look on nature, not as In the hour
OF thoughtless youth but hearing often
times
The STILL sad music of humanity
Nor harsh nor grating, though OF ample
power
To chasten and subdue. And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the
joy -.
OF elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
OF something far more deeply interfused
Whose dwelling is the light of setting
suns
And the round ocean, and the living air.
And the blue sky, and in the mind OF
man;
A motion and a spirit that impells
All thinking things. all objects of all
thought,
And rolls through all things.

Mr.. Mack'S National Monthly

The May number of Mr.. Mack's new
monthly is at hand, and it is as sound
as it is entertaining. 1t is a clever
combination of party wisdom and pop
ular literature, and if it is kept up
to the level of the May number its
success is beyond question.
Its 80 pages of the size of Golfers
Weekly are not wholly devoted to
politics. There are pages of fashion
plates and short stories and at least
one page devoted to the children. The
illustrations, too, are a feature of the
new monthly No writer is permitted
to present his thoughts unless he also
presents a photograph from which Il
cut can be made.
Editor Mack is serving IN the new
monthly no clique, no person. no wing
of the party. He discusses basic prin-
ciples and their application to mod
ern questions. He represents neither
radicals nor conservatives, but he does
represent the democracy that drew its
spirit and soul from Monticello and
the Hermitage. There is a deal of
promise In the new monthly. 1t should
be kept on the lines of May, for It's
May methods are salutary and pleas
ing.

In HOTEL LOBBIES
Attractive shopnlnn Center.

For several years past Birmingham has
been known as a great shopping center,
and today no city between Louisville and
New Orleans can rival it in point of rich
and varied stocks displayed at the dry
goods. millinery, furnishing and clothing
stores. In the earlier days of Birming-
hams history the retail merchants found
their customers only here at home and in
the nearby towns, but now shoppers
come in great numbers from every part
of Alabama, and not few from Mis-
sissippi
Notwithstanding the comparative quiet
prevailing in the industrial world, the
merchants are having a fairly brisk spring
trade. Louis Saks. when asked yester-
day the stereotyped question: How is
business?," replied with a smile by point
ing to a number of customers being wait
ed on by salesladies in the dress depart
ment Business is very good" said Mr..
Saks. "Our sales are larger than they
were this time last year. This is a fact
shown by our books and is, of course,
highly encouraging. We are carrying
large stocks and are endeavoring to sat
isfy the tastes and meet the wants of the
people. and the people are showing their
appreciation by coming to see us. Yes,
1903 promises to be good year.

The New .klnq Bill.

''Since 1t seems to be settled that the
governor will call an extra session of the
legislature, am perfecting all the details
of a new Greater Birmingham BILL" said
Jere King, yesterday.
I'm my original Greater Birmingham
bill-in the bill as it was first drawn
Ensley was included, but for reasons that
seemed good at the time the Steel City
was omitted and the measure that passed
left Ensley to itself But as time passes
1t becomes more and more obvious that
Ensley should be a part of Birmingham.
1t is not as far from the courthouse as
East Lake is, and in the bird s-eye view
map which has just been made. showing
the proposed greater city, Ensley rounds
out the western limit naturally and
neatly.
IF we get this new bill through, and
have little doubt about 1t, there will be
no referendum. The measure will be
handled just as similar measures have
been disposed of in other states. The
action of sthe legislature will be final
With this new bill a lava Birmingham
will have in the census of b1o a popula-
ton of over 13O, co.,"
