A Finnish Centenary.
From the London Globe.


Both Russia and Finland are to cele-
brate in September the centenary of the
liberation Of Finland from Swedish rule,
but from very different points of view.
The matter Is Of considerable interest to
US, because England was indirectly the
cause of war. Russia was bound by the
peace of Tilsit in 1907 to keep British
trade out of the continental markets. but
Gustavus w, King of Sweden, kept open
his ports to English ships. and allowed
them to make Goteborg free port. Rus
STA then declared war against Sweden,
and Finland became the chief seat of the
fighting Of 1850. The Swedes fought
most valiantly. and were only overcome
by greatly superior numbers. When peace
was made at Friedriksham In September,
1869. Finland, which had always been the
scene of the struggle between Russia and
Sweden, was at last able to enjoy peace
and to realize that she had national
The Grand Duke of Finland. and a COM
pact was made by which Finland was
autonomous under the rule of the car,
but was not incorporated in the Russian
empire. The present trouble between
Russia and Finland Is entirely owing to
the determination of Russia to ignore
this arrangement and to force Finland to
become an integral part of the empire,
without any of the privileges secured to
her by the treaty of Friedriksham. The
Russians are going to celebrate the ami
versary officially as the date on which
Finland was annexed from Sweden while
the Firms wish to rejoice over the CEN
tenary of their liberation from Sweden
and the beginning of their free life as an
independent dukedom. OF course, these
two views are absolutely incompatible
one with the other, and as Russia has
strength on her side 1t will not be the
freedom which Finland gained under an
autocratic car, but that which, by the
irony Of fate. she lost under a constitu-
tional sovereign.

A Peculiar Cantilever Bridge.

Aoin luo engineering magazine.
Nearly all cantilever bridges have what
Is called an anchor or shore arm from
each river pier and a cantilever arm from
each Of these piers. projecting out over
the river. and as these cantilever arms
are usually only a little over one-quarter
the length of the span between the two
shore piers we still have a space equal
to nearly half the span to be bridged
which Is usually accomplished by what is
called a suspension span. an Independent
bridge resting on the ends of the two
cantilevers as II they were piers. During
erection the suspended span is built as a
continuation Of the cantilevers, but after
the erection is completed it is partially
disconnected 30 as to rest on the CAN'T
lever arms as an Independent bridge. The
two principal objects of the suspended
span system are economy and prevention
of the sudden change Of strain from one
system to the other. according to the po-
sition of the load. But Blackwells Island
bridge is unique. at least for long spans,
in having the cantilever arms meet in the
center without any intervening span 1t
remains to be seen whether this innova-
ton will be an Improvement or the re-
verse

Job is the lathering utensil devised by
a New York man. This Is nothing more
than a shaving brush with the bristles
at right angles to the handle, like a
shoe brush, but at the back Is a set Of
rubber stubbles by which the lather may
be rubbed into the beard The stubble
can be quickly cleaned after each use.
Such skin affections as are caught in
barber shops are invariably contracted
when the barber rubs the lather in. the
germs being secreted under his finger
nails. The brush shown in the cut elm
mates the necessity Of the barber using
his fingers for this purpose.

INSURANCE AGENTS
 MAKE STRONG PROTEST

The movement on foot by certain members of the City Council to dis pense with the services of John K Browder, the present Chief of Fire De- partment. is being very much deplor- ed by all local fire insurance agents. as well as the numerous special agents for leading fire insurance com panies now making Montgomery their headquarters.
 In speaking of the matter yester- day. w. w. Graves, special agent of large Eastern company made the following statement:
 < ''rhe Montgomery Fire Department, under the administration of Chief Browder. Is one of the most efficient in the entire South. and the record of the department, one Of which the city should feel proud.

 Birmingham, Sept. 2.-(SpeciaD- D-The third attempt to wreck street car in inc same locality and the second sim liar attempt within the past month oc- curred today when North Bessemer car was derailed near Fairview.
 The car, going down sharp incline, was thrown of the track. running s,onp the cross ties for several lengths. finally halting within a few inches of the edge of q steep em- bankment.

tried to talk about the plug situatioa Witht he dremen. but they would not an- swer. always referring tne question to the officer in authority. Chief Brow der did not show proper interest on 2 great many occasions. He seemed not mittee thought of the plug situation. He had beea appointed by the Mayor. and was responsible only to the Mayor.
 Making the once appointivs by the Council, would change such situation. When the Council wanted to ind out things. the Chief would respond prompt ly. As an abstract proposition. think that the ofiice of Chief of the Fire De- pertinent should be in the hands of the Council.
 NOW" continued Alderman Lowe. T have heard that this ordinance was simply to oust Browder from his job. I have heard that Bill TooIe will be made the Chief. I will tell you that Toole doesn't want the job. and haven't the slightest idea that he will get 1t.
 But I am neither for Tooie nor Browder. If Browder Is the pest man to apply for the job. then I'll vote for Browder. If think some other man Is the best candidate. then I'll vore for that man."
 Not Anti-Brewaer.
 Although Alderman Lowe stated pos- sitively that the fight was not being made simply to oust Chief Browder. ru- nor has definitely settled upon Tooie for the appointment. There are Alder men who differ from Lowe. saying that Toole does expect the appointment. and will be disappointed if he does not ss- cure the plum.
 Alderman Johnson stated at the meet ing of the Fire Committee that he had heard the ordinance was purely for the busting of Chief Browder. but before

 When asked who would be. the next City Sexton. MT. Johnson replied that Alderman Sullivan was certain of the place. He further stated that J. G. Cowan would be appointed as Tax Col lector and Tax Assessor, as provided for in the ordinance seeking to appoint . Fire Chief.
 The friends of Chief Browder say that a strenuous fight will De made against the passage of the Saul ordin- ance. They say that the Mayor will veto the measure. and that the Council, as 1t stands on the question at the pres ent time, will be unable to pass it over the veto. They state that at present there are but eleven Councilmen for the passage of the ordinance, and 1t will take twelve votes to pass over veto by Mayor Teagu0-
 Friends of Chief Browder believe that the ordinance will not be passed over the veto--in fact. they are relying upon this fact for the retention or Browder in the office. They are certain that Mayor-Elect Gunter will make the ap- pointment.
