University, May 22.-(Special.)- )-The al- umni and friends of the university who are visiting here during the commence ment find their blood running faster than ever before with love for the old institu- ton and pride in it's prosperity. The cause of this is the striking evidence of material improvement and growth which appears in the two new buildings, Conner Hall, just completed, and Smith Hall, now in the last stages of construction.
 Conner Hall, located immediately west of the quadrangle, is an immense two-story structure, built of yellow pressed brick and trimmed with gray Bedford lime stone. It Is over 300 feet long, more than 200 deep at the center and covers almost an acre of ground Planned for the espe- cial use of the engineering department, it will accommodate the schools of civil, mining electrical and mechanical engin- eering. Tn addition, it will contain a thoroughly modern lighting and heating plant which will furnish electric lights and steam heat to all of the university buildings. The machinery for these pur- poses, besides various other kinds of apparatus for the instruction of students, is being installed, and by the opening of the next session of the university all will be ready for use With this splendid equipment and the numerous civil, cleo trical. mining and mechanical engineer ing works in the vicinity of Tuscaloosa. the university will have the opportunity to maintain one of the best schools of engineering in the country.
 Smith Hall, named in honor of pr. Eugene Allen Smith, state geologist and professor of geology in the university, is situated on the eastern side of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-05-23

campus, at the end of the beautiful ave- /nue of oaks which runs east and west, parallellng the front of Manly Clark and Garland Halls. The material is the samo as that in Conner Hall but the stone trimmings are much more profuse. As the photograph of the unfinished structure shows, it is built on classic lines so modified to suit modern needs. Though 1t is not a copy there is a suggestion about 1t of the Chicago Academy of Science With it's severe and chaste lines and its beautiful Ionic colonade of three quarter pilasters, the structure gives a striking impression of dignity which makes it by far the most worthy of all the buildings in the university group.
 Smith Hall will be given over to the de- partments of geology and biology. In the central portion, on the first floor, will he lecture rooms and laboratories, while its second and third floors will contain the splendid collection of panna, flora and minerals which Dr. Smith has gathered during his many years of devoted service to the university of the state. The south ern wing will contain quarters for tho laboratories of the geological survey, lec- ture rooms, and storage rooms for speci- mems. The northern wing will be used by the biological department
 In addition to these new structures the trustees are contemplating the erection of an academic building to be located at the western side of the campus. looking down the same avenue that Smith Hall faces The alumni have already got on foot plans for the erection of gymna- sium. When these two structuresN are completed and the old dormitortes have undergone repairs, the university VIII un- occasionally have one of thS best equipped educational plants in the stats

give louder blasts, sounding the entire scale of music and last of all blending his notes in such manner as to form the tunes which captured first the ear and then the heart of his bride Ellington is at loss to explain his success. He plays no other musical instrument, though fond of music.
 glamour has been thrown around his playing because of the fact that it is against the rules of most railways to sound other than stipulated signals upon the whistle of a locomotive. For many years all roads entering Richmond have vainly tried to capture the guilty man, but Ellington's brother engineers, know ing the romance and sympathizing with the sentiment contained therein, have con tinually come to his assistance, when de- lection seemed imminent by initiating as nearly as they could his airs upon their own whistles. In this way railway of ficals and detectives have been baffled. Now it Is thought that the Southern. hay ing heard the whole story, will, because of the winsomeness of the pretty little woman in the case, shut their official eyes to Ellington's practices and infractions of the rules and allow him to continue notifying his wife of his arrivals and de- DartureS

WINS HIS BRIDE WITH A
 LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLE
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Converting his engine whistle into a steam calilope and playing thereon such tunes as Home, Sweet Home" Tn the Sweet By and Bly," will You Remember Me?" "'Way Down on the Suwanee River and many other simple ballads of long ago, Robert Freeman Ellington of Richmond, engineer on the Southern rail- way for more than 20 years, despite the
 ct that he is still young man, won for nImself a pretty young wife, who first became attracted to him after hearing his weirdly fantastic melodies as he drove his iron steed through the stiffness of the night.
 Mrs. Ellington, who was Miss Mar garette Angel, a belle of Manchester, across the James from Richmond coyly confessed that she was in love with her husbands accomplishment before she loved the man. When she and Ellington first met it was after she had waited night after night to hear the uncanny pipings as they carried to the window of Ter room. Then began the courtship, dur ing which Ellington played to her and her alone. She knew 195-his engine-as many another knows a pet horse or dog and never a night but 195 brought her messages from her sweetheart, told in the language of music, when he himself, with hand on the throttle, was driving the engRe on to it's destination.
 Ellington's accomplishment - probably possessed by few railway engineers in the world-was first gained, according to his own story, when during the long stretches of lonely ride he wanted companionship. D He would try one tune and then another. Finally music came from the steam throat of the siren, first tirnidly, then gaining courage by his first faint success and becoming more bold, the engineer would

SIKH ouTWITs LAWYER.
New York SUM-


There is a Sikh out in Victoria, B. c.,
where Sikhs are about as popular as
Japanese in San Francisco, who got
himself out of a serious predicament by
clever ruse. He was UP against the
law, and as he was something of a black
sheep even among the Sikhs, it looked
as if it would go hard with him.
He had had a bad record in Hong
kong and this was known to other Silxhs
and to the prosecuting lawyer. So he
arranged to have an unfriendly Sikh in
formed that for a crime in HOngkong
he had been branded on the left arm
The unfriendly Sikh lost no time in
passing the information to the prose-
cutor.
The lawyer held the information I'M
I'll he wanted to make telling point at
the trial. Then he pointed an accusing
finger at the Sikh and called out stern
ly:
Pull up the sleeve on your left arm
and let the court see the brand placed
there by HOngkOng justice"
The Sikh obeyed. His arm was with
out blemish. The unfriendly Sikh and
the lawyer did not know that branding
criminals is not in fashion in Hongkong.
The point was so telling that the ac-
cused Sikh got off.
