 My Dear Friends:
 "Margarets death came as a great sur prise to me, not even having heard of her illness. I owe her a great debt, and wish to acknowledge it to you, her loved ones.
 Many a days work has been made lighter, brighter and happier by her thoughtfulness. I never thought of her without being thankful for knowing her, and her death leaves me distinctly poorer.
 ,If there is any comfort fin Knowing that your sorrow is shared by others, then you should feel comforted
 And best of all, it is a wonderful blessing for you to have had such a daughter and sister, and for me to have had such a pupil and friend.
 May God. in His goodness. comfort you. Yours in sorrow, c. B. GLENN.

GRAMBS TO TRAIN
 FESTIVAL CHORUS
THOSE WITH EXPERIENCE WHO WISH TO TAKE PART ARE RE- QUESTED TO ENROLL THEIR NAMES AT ONCE.

Prof. Fred L. Grambs will train a chorus for the Damrosch festival which will be given at the Hippodrome April 2S. 29 and 3O He is very busy now rehearsing his choir at the Church of the Advent, for Easter. but on Monday, March 29, at 7:30 D. m he will organize the festival chorus. He cordially in- Vites all church choir singers and all others who have had any experience in chorus singing 10 meet him at Cable hall at the time above mentioned. Professor Grambs also suggests that those who intend to join the festival chorus enroll their names in advance with W. J. Hon. the festival manager. whose headquarters are on the first floor of the Cable companys store.
 It is understood that Rossinf's "Stabat Mater" will be among the works which the chorus is expected to learn. None of the festival numbers will be long, and it is believed that with earnest rehearsals in April the chorus will be in good form Professor Grambs is director of large experi- ence and his finely trained choir at the
 
 of what he can do in chorus. The Ad- vent choir ranks as one of the best in the whole south It is said that the rector, the Rev. Dr. Evans, a man of musical ability and rare taste is proud of it.
 The Treble Clef club will appear in two or more numbers on the opening night of the festival, and Miss Kitts has announced that the Euterpean chorus of the Birmin gham High school had accepted an invitation to take part in the great event.
 Manager Hon said last night that he had met with great encouragement on the part of the citizens. He has al- ready sold three of the boxes and l large number of season tickets. He states that the railroads will sell spe- 1 cial rate tickets for the festival. He l is receiving many out-of-town orders l for seats.

LOGAN EXPLAINS
 CHARITIES WORK
DECIDED IMPETUS GIVEN MOVE MENT YESTERDAY TO PLACE BIRMlNeHAN's CHARITY WORK ON A SYSTEMATIC BASIS.

The address of Joseph B. Logan, direc- tor of the associated charities in Atlanta, before the chamber of commerce yester- day afternoon, was an eye opener to the business men assembled, and they not only applaude MT. Logan, but indorsed his ideas, and agreed to assist in the work of organizing the charity work of Bir- mingham.
 A group of well-known older business men heard J. H. Mclean after a luncheon in the Woman's Exchange, and appointed a committee on organization. The idea is getting a firm hold on the men of the city.
 MT. Logan illustrated the workings of the system so thoroughly that 1t was quite interesting. He said that it would do away with the waste of money in the street, the beggar would be automati- cally eliminated. He believed that indis- criminate relief instead of putting the needy ones on their feet, makes them pau pers, results in a waste of sympathy and a waste of character and deadens the use- fitness of giving.
 Instead of having a multiplication of charitable organizations, giving indiscrim- inately they will always refer to the of flee of the organized charities every ap- plicant, and g. force of sympathetic men will thoroughly investigate the needs and remedies for each case. He was of the opinion that only about one-third of the needy want material relief, but really need positions, and other attentions which only expert personal work will supply.
 The organization of the men for this purpose will occur next Thursday after noon, and all the public spirited citizens are expected to attend It is an economic move to save waste, and to upbuld the character of the community

Broken W0feY Wain Cnf
 Of Pressure Last Wight

Shortly after o'clock last night com plaint arose over town on the part of res idents that their water was off and con siderable inconvenience was caused. One of the big water mains running along under First avenue had burst at Thir- teenth street, and in parts of the city the water pressure was completely gone and in the downtown sections it was so weak 1t was practically useless.
 At Thirteenth street one of the city's new sewer mains is being laid across First avenue. It seems that in digging the ditch for the sewer the big water main was undermined and last night the sup ports gave way and one of the joints in the main broke loose. The water flowed out in great volume the pressure was ex-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The coosa and the Water Question.


 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 For many years Birmingham has been discussing and seeking supply of cheap water for her manufactories. Project after project has been taken up only to be dismissed The supreme difficulty in the way of them all has been the matter of quantity. When we do go out after water we must know that we are to get enough And not enough for Birmingham as 1t is, but for Birmingham as it will be- We have made mistakes enough here in building too small.
 The Warrior, without impounding at enormous cost, is too small. The Tennes- see is too far away. The Coosa is both big enough and near enough. Scant con- sideratior has been given it. The Coosa is a navigable stream, and the govern ment is already slowly improving it. Under the new policy of cooperation put forth by Mir. Roosevelt, indorsed by MT Taft and developed into definite public policy by the conservation movement, the government will cooperate with individ- uals, corporations and municipalities in putting the waters of navigable streams to their utmost use. For instance, were Bir- mingham to go to the Coosa for its water the government would furnish for the dam at some shoal, money enough to pay for whatever benefit might result to navigation. Birmingham would have to furnish only the money necessary to utilize the power thus developed.
 This power would not only lift the water over the intervening ridge, but supply light and power in the form of electricity for all municipal purposes.
 The natural flow of that river would be re inforced by the reservoir created by the dam. The supply would be limit less and the government would bear the burden of the cost The government is in a cooperating humor. Why not take thought of the Coosa?

There was a persistent rumor among well known negroes in Birmingham yes terday to the effect that cablegram had been received by the mother of Robert. L. Dix from Australia, saying that her son was dead. No one seemed to know much about the matter and none would vouch for its authenticity.
 The news that the well known negro might be dead recalled some of the in- cidents in his life before escaping from the county jail here about two years ago. It will be remembered that Dix who was one of the most popular ne- groes among his race in the city killed a street ear motorman named Pesnell and was sentenced to be hanged. A day or two before the date set for his ex- ecution he escaped from the county jail

and the matter has always been full of mystery. Many did not hesitate to say he had outside aid but the method of his escape was never satisfactorily ex- plained After escaping he seemed to disappear from the face of the earth and all efforts of the officers stimulated by big rewards failed to locate him.
 It is hinted that he made his escape on a night train on which a party of negro girls was going away to a well known negro school. It is said that he dressed in girls clothing and his slight frame and feminine voice made 1t easy for him tc pass as one of the party. Nothing definite has ever been heard from him since he left the jail, although there have been many rumors about his being still in the city and in other south ern cities.
