TWO TENTS FULL
 SEE BUFFALO BILL
FAMOUS SNOWMAN RETURNS TO BIRMINGHAM AFTER ABSENCE OF TEN YEARS-PAWNEE BILL A NOTABLE FEATURE.

After an absence of about ten years Buffalo Bill returned to Birmingham yesterday, bringing his Wild West show. The Buffalo Bill enterprise has been consolidated with that of Pawnee Bill, another picturesque plainsman who has been notably successful in the show business. Two performances were given yesterday before crowds that taxed the seating capacity of the big tents. Buff falo Bill took part and there were a host of others, including painted In- dians who seehed just as if they had stepped out of story book, dashing cowboys and cowgirls, CossadKs who rode with wild abandon, Mexicans and representatives from many foreign countries. who contributed life and color to the show.
 The cowboys were much in evidence,

New Orleans, October 13.-Beginning tomorrow trains of the Louisville and Nashville railroad will be run out of and into New Orleans over the reg ular tracks of the road for the first time since the hurricane of September 20.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Collision Between Engine and Fire
 Apparatus.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Referring to article in this morning s issue reporting an accident in which a fire engine and a locomotive, operated by the Birmingham Belt Railroad conl- pany, were in collision at Tenth avenue and Nineteenth street on yester- day afternoon, the report is incorrect and unfair to the company. The writer was on the ground with Chief Bennett a few minutes after the accident happened, and held an investigation of the employees in- terested. The fire engine was not mak- ing a run for a fires but was returning to the engine house going north, and under such circumstances with no su- perior rights over other vehicles; and, according to statement of driver made to Chief Bennett and myself, that when he had reached a point midway between Ninth and Tenth avenues his horses be- came frightened and beyond his control, and although the red flag was against him, his horses carried him across the tracks ahead of the locomotive, and on his statement the chief accepted full responsibility
 The red flag was also against a north bound street ear which was waiting for the locomotive to pass. The locomotive was running very slow and barely turned the engine over, and with the exception of a broken wheel 1t was practically un- damaged.
 It is not the writer's observation that fire engines making a run for fires select viaducts for the safe crossing Of railroad frarlxaUa mt clo of lowest grade. There are two viaducts across the Louisville and Nashville and Alabama Great Southern traekage and I do not believe that in their history fire apparatus making run for fires have ever used either one of them. Yours truly,
 A. D. LIGHTNER.

MURDER AND SUICIDE

There is an item of news which APP
pears so constantly that it might al
most be stereOtyped with blank left
for the names of the parties. 1t is
the item which tells of the killing of a
woman by a man whom the woman
had rejected as a sutton. One is a Dart
mouth college graduate who kills a
Smith college senior and then COM
mits suicide. Such cases can only be
explained on the ground Of inordinate
selfishness and a failure to take hold
of a proper conception of life.
The man who denies to a woman the
right to freely choose her life COM
panion puts his own happiness, or
supposed happiness, above the happi-
ness Of the one whom he would marry;
but it must be rather supposed happi-
ness than real fer no man can hope
to be happy with wife who does not
love him or who loves him so little she

convicts the man of being an unfit

the lady whom he loved had measured
him at his true value, for he proves
himself unfit when he refuses her the

What then. shall we say of the man
who cannot see enough in life worth
living for if one who does not love
him refuses to marry him. Without
considering the fiendish purpose ant

INTERNATIONAL PEACE CONFER.
ENCE WILL LAST EIGHT
DAYS IN STOCKHOLM
All Civilized Nations Will Have Repre-
sentatives at Eighteenth Meeting
Of Its Kind.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 2S-Those who
cry Peace peace" and demand that
swords be turned into plowshares, and
that the spilling of mans blood by
men in wars shall cease. gathered in
force in the Swedish capital and today
were given a glad welcome by Off
Gals of both city and kingdom. All
civilized nations will have representa-
ton in the eighteenth International
Peace congress, which convenes to-
morrow for a session of eight days.
Political organization Of the world
as pertinent and practical topic for
present times will be the principal
subject of discussion
This determination was reached at
a session of the Berne Bureau, the off,
cial body having in charge the ar
| rangements for the congress. The
vote of the bureau was, upon this
point: Further, it is concluded that
at future congresses only one great
question shall be placed in the fore
ground; fir this year, it is the ques-
ton of international organization"
This will be the first time that a
body of representatives of many ma
tons even though unofficial, has ever
discussed such a subject. Some writ
ers have seen a resemblance between
this discussion and that at the great
peace congresses of 1848, 1S49, and
1850, at Brussels, Paris and Frank
fort, respectively, where Elihu Bur-
rift urged his plan for a congress of
nations and establishment of a high
court Of justice.
The Stockholm discussion. however,
must be regarded as the first formal
public discussion in a large way of
political unity of all nations as a sin
gle organism. But this discussion has
nothing of a world federation idea in
it. Rather, there is believed to be in
progress a natural, inevitable develop
ment of the unity of the human race
existing in the very fact of the races
beinfi upon the earth, into formal
political union.
| In no other countries is the cause of
peace farther advanced than in the
Scandinavian. Several peace con-
crosses of Scandinavians have been
| held within a few years. Christiania
has entertained the interparliamentary
| Union at one of it's conferences. and
likewise the International Law asso-
| ciation-in both cases most generously
and deliberately The Scandinavian
Parliaments have more than once
one or two of them in fact have four
or five times-voted direct contribu-
lions to the support of the work Of the
