NOVEL USE FOR AUTHORS NAME.
Euphonic SyllabIes Unfortunately
 Were Badly Applied.

When Josephine Dodge Daskam. now Mrs. Bacon, met a college class mate short time ago. the classmate congratulated her on the fame she had acquired and said: T had startling proof of how well your name is known after we'd been out of college only five years. 1 was then on a trip abroad and was doing a little sketch. ing in the picturesque parts of Eng land. Several other artists weIs grouped near me one morning, all at tempting to sketch a delightful bit of landscape, when gust of wind blew my sketching sunshade over. A gal lant young artist tried to pick it up for me. The wind bowled it over a little farther Then he knocked over my stool in his gallant efforts, nearly upset my easel and had very clumsy time of it, and all the while he kept muttering underhis breath Josephine Dodge Daskam, Josephine Dodge Das. kam.'

 'Who? he asked, surprised.
 Why, Josephine Dodge Daskam. She was college classmate of mine.'

A Grave But a House.

Is a grave digger a builder? Is he mechanic? If not, what in the die. tionary of the labor unions is he?
 The grave diggers have made an en- deavor to join the building trades council of Greater New York, and have been denied. The last home of man is not a house, say the builders. The grave makers say that as they dig in the earth, they should be classed with the men who make cellars, who have been admitted to the unions of the building trades. The failure of this logic is pointed out by the builders; People can live in cellars and in over the graves.

GRATED ON JURY'S FEELINGS.
Lawyers OratoricaI Flight Well Meant, But 1t Did Not Tend to
 Help His Client.

According to an Indiana lawyer, the verdict of the jury in case tried in that state was distinctly influenced by an unfortunate break made by youthful attorney in his closing ad. dress.
 The defense put forward had been that the defendant was an imbecile. and consequently was unable to dis tinguish between right and wrong. In his summing up the young lawyer made clever use of this point; but, when about to close, expressed him. self in this extraordinary manner:
 Gentlemen of the jury. gaze upon this unfortunate defendant. Regard, gentlemen, that receding forehead. the significant angle of those ears. the lackiuster expression of those eyes. Need I remind the gentlemen of the jury that these are unmistak. able evidences of Natures deprivation of the power to distinguish right from wrong? Ignorant of this distinction between right and wrong, gentlemen of the jury, how can this poor i'm beetle be convicted of the charge brought against him? Why, gentle men, this unhappy man is like two year-old child-he neither knows why he does thing nor how. Therefore. gentlemen, it is with peculiar pride I reflect that, such are the institu. tions of this, the greatest and most glorious of all nations, that my client, imbecile though he be, today stands for trial by jury of his peers."

ACTOR USED TO HARD WORDS,
Therefore, Scene Shifter's Request

Oscar Hammerstein was discussing the extravagance of the Metropolitan opera house.
 "They have tried to corner opera he said. "They have on their payroll more stars than they can use. That is why they hand out weekly thou sands of dollars to singers who have not sung. Ns
 T know that they tried to corner opera in order to cripple me, but will say nothing against them," re. sumed the famous manager. They have heard hard words enough. In the production of opera hard words are more the rue than, soft ones: and you feel like the frosted Canadian actor.

First Aid for British Army.

The British army is considering the adoption of the Utermohlen system of first aid surgical dressings, which have been in use in the Dutch army for several years. The packets are small and light. One dressing is SO designed that man can unpack and place the antiseptic pad upon his wounded arm by using the other hand only, the packet being unloosened by pulling certain strings with the teeth and shaking the dressing out of tho containing paper. It consists of a square pad, to which are attached bandages, and these being pulled apart enable the dressing to be fixed by wrapping and to be tied with great celerity. The larger packets contain two similar dressings, which can be applied to the ortfices Of entry and exit of bullet

 The letter received yesterday by Mayor Teague is as follows:
 Hon. w. NJ Teague, Mayor of the-City
 of Montgomery:
 "Mr Mayor:-The city of Montgom,, cry granted to the Montgomery sh1sycessors as and assigns a franchise during the .he year 1902 for fifty years. Under tne franchise the Light Company was va me nc purposss at not exceeding the price of $1.0S per 1000 cubic feet. fn otne ne words, the maximum rate for fuei gas was Sl.os per 1000 cubic feet.

EXPOSURE DURING
 FLOOD CAUSES DEATH

Driven from her home in North Montgomery. by the high waters of the recent flood, Aunt" Polly Ennis. an aged negro woman. died yesterday in the sanitary hospital from a complica- ton of diseases and from exposure.
 Old and feeble, Aunt" Polly was not able to flee. as the waters came under her house, and when the police carried her away. she was taken to house on Pollard Street, where all of her belong ings were thrown into one room. There she became sick and the City Physi- clan was called in. He discovered that she was suffering from smallpox and when the sanitary official went to talk e her to the hospital. 1t was found that she was in such condition that tH move her would most likely prove fa- tai. The City Physician then endeavor. ed to get some one to take care of the old woman. until death relieved her sufferings. but no negro could be found who would have anything to do with her.
 AS all the furniture and rubbish of the old woman were jammed into thv little room with her. the city off, cials decided that for humanity's sake she ought to be removed to a place where she could at least die in com fort so she was taken to the hospital. where she expired. Heart trouble. old age and smallpox were given as the cause of her death.

TRAVELLERS WANT
 NEW MILEAGE BOOKS

Birmingham. March 27.-(Special.)- Travelling men throughout Alabama and in the South in general are inter- ested in the result of the conference that was held in Nashville Friday be- tween representatives of the travellers organizations and the commercial or ganizations of, the Tennessee capital with high officials of the various rail- roads in the South in reference to the interchangeable mileage books.
 The travellers have complained that holders of the mileage must have mile age torn out at stations in exchange for tickets Is not only causing more or less inconvenience but is annoying.
 On the other hand the railroads claim that often times they fail to get the mileage by the old meth cd of allowing the conductors to tear out the mileage, not that the same Is not reported or sent in by the conductors, but because often times the conductors in passing man with mileage asks him to wait until the train has been worked and then the same Is either overlooked or the man with mileage gets off the train before he Is visited again. The first lose anything but the second road which handles the passenger after the initial line has carried him to another point, loses considerable.
 The railroad officials will receive a written statement from the travellers and they will then consider the mat ter.
 The decision as to the Tennessee travellers will cover the other States in the South where the interchangeable mileage will be in effect
