AMERICAS OLDEST SHIP.
The Polly, Which Is to See New York,
Terror of British In 1912.

The Polly, Which Is to See New York,
Terror of British In 1912.
The good ship Polly, which recently
left New Bedford for New York, is the
Oldest vessel in the United States and
one of the oldest in the world. For
105 years this two masted schooner
has been doing business, but even now
she can outsail many modern vessels.
The Polly's laurels are not all those
of peace In the war of 1912 many a
time she gave battle on the seas to
craft twice her size., She captured
eleven rich prizes in that conflict. AS
a privateer under command of Captain
Juduthan Upton, with her decks bris-
Ting with guns, she was the terror of
British commerce.
The Polly dropped out of the binocu-
lar nmelight to bob up in 1910 in the
coasting trade In 1S49 and the sue
ceeding years the little smartly rugged
sixty footer rounded Cape Horn six
times and made two complete trips
around the world.
OF recent years she has been carry
ing lumber between Bangor and other
Maine ports. While the boat has been
almost remade, it's the same old Polly,
and if you had been interested in ship
ping a century, ago you would have no
trouble in recognizing her now.

CASTLE POINT FOR STEVENS.
Institute Has Small Means, But Does
Wonderful Educational Work.

Institute Has Small Means, But Does
Wonderful Educational Work.
At meeting of the alumni of Stew
ems Institute of Technology on Friday
night, President AlexanderC Humph-
reys announced the completion of
negotiations by which title to the
historic Castle Point estate overlook
ing the Hudson and adjacent to the
present Stevens campus, will be taken
by the college before another year.
Through this act, made possible by
the generosity Of the Stevens family,
descendants of the founder, this col
| lege of engineering that has brought
credit and honor to the state, is as
Isured Of room for expansion, present
and future, and a campus unequalled
for the purpose of a technical institu-
ton in the metropolitan district.
It Is strange, though, that the tinan-
cial position. of Stevens should be 50
little understood. The very fame in
educational and engineering circles
that marks its technical success has
misled those best able to contribute tc
its support. Stevens is not, unfortu'
nately, blessed with sufficient pro
ducuive endowment. The necessary
expenses in conducting a chronological
Institution are numerous, and with
the strictest economy the trustees o.
Stevens have faced growing deficit
the last two years.
Stevens Institute as an efficient ed
ucational factor in the engineering
world is to-day equalled by few ant
surpassed by none, but its needs arr
nevertheless definite and urgent. Al

The purchase of the entire stock OF
trunks, bags and suit cases of the Il.

city by Hahne & Company, is one OF
the most notable merchandise trans
actions that has lately been recorded
hereabouts. The failure of the con-
Germ threw the stock on 1.-THE market,
and Frederick f. Guild, the receiver,
was compelled to dispose of it at auc-
tion. The stock in the New York
salesrooms was sold in small quantities
to many concerns throughout the
country, hut when the strictly new
product of the factory was offered, few
stores could think Of buying it in bulk
But Hahne & Company bid for the en-

Thaatsr For Deaf Mutss.

A "newer theater'' that will over
shadow many others not alone in its
novelty, but in the idea of uplift, is
being developed at the Wisconsin
School For the Deaf in Delavan, Wis,
under the personal direction Of Super
intendent E. w. Walker. In short
time it is expected that the unfortu-
mates without hearing or power Of
speech will be able to enjoy the stage
as fully and with the same understand
ing as those who hear and speak. The
idea grows out of performance given
at Delavan some weeks ago, when
shakespeare flaming Of the Shrew"
was presented in the sign language.

Elk GOVERNOR FRANKLIN MURPHY
was nominated for United States Sen
ator by the Essex County Republican
Committee at it's meeting last Friday
night, and the approval of the mem
beers was heartily given, without pre-
meditation or artificial enthusiasm.
The action of the committee will have
the approval of the great majority of
Republican voters of Essex county,
aid of many who are opposed to the
regulars. Mr.. Murphy's claims to
his party's favor are too well known
to need demonstration. His knowl-
edge of public affairs, his ability to
state his opinions, his personal char
acter, his business reputation, his po-
litical experience, his familiarity with
events and men, his war record, his
influence in national movements all fit
him for the place. His independence
OF opinion and his courage OF action
have been recognized.

FORMER VICE-CHANCELLoR PITNEY
was classmate of the Wyman who
has left his millions to Princeton for a
graduate college. They were grad
mated in 1S48, when classes were small,
but there was personal friendship
besides, and they met quite recently.
Mr.. Wyman seemed to have deeper
affection for the university than for
anything else in the world, although he
knew comparatively little OF its recent
development. He lived almost alone,
but was, on the other hand, free from
the responsibilities of wealth. He
had no patience with the poor. He
used to say anybody could get rich If
he wanted to, and poverty was mex
cusable. He had numerous relatives,
but could not see why he should help
them. All they had to do was to save,
and they also would be rich. He had
one ideal only, and this he recognized
Ia his gift to Princeton. The esti-
mates of his wealth are all guess-work,
for it was 10 real estate, and it will be
difficult to obtain it's true value, in
many cases. But there is plenty for
his purpose.

WE learn that there is strong
sentiment in favor of the renomina-
tion of Mr.. Fowler in some parts of
the county, particularly among the
labor organizations Many who blame
the administration for the high cost
of living are inclined to think that in
some way conditions can be changed,
and as Mr.. Fowler is against the adj
ministration, or party leaders, at least,
he can bring about a better condition
OF affairs if reelected.

NEW JERSEYS FUTURE.

A recent unofficial estimate gave
New Jersey population of 2,404,7l7
and there is good reason to believe
that this figure is below the mark
The figure is more likely to be $500,
600. The rate of increase has been
greater than the average during the
last half of the decade.
New Jersey was small, slow-going
state for centuries. In 1900 it had but
I'll, 149 population. In the ensuing
fifty years it but little more than
doubled, showing but 489, 555 in 1850.
During the ensuing decade horse car
lines were introduced and the effect
was marvellous. Almost Immediately
counties affected by the proximity of
large cities felt the stimulus. For ex-
ample, Camden county in 1850 had 3d.
1872, Essex 1876. Bergen $1,000, Hud-
son 21,319. Passaic 21,923 and Union
had not been set off from Essex. That
growth represented centuries. In 1900
these same counties had grown so that
Camden had 107,643, Bergen 78,4l1,
Essex 359, O53, Hudson 1885, 48, Passaic
155, POP and Union 1858.
The horse cars enlarged the popu-
lous area along lines of communica-
tion. The trolley lines extended the
distance over which men could move
and still reach their places of business.
The gradual improvement of the troll
ley lines, the larger cars, heavier
tracks and increased power still far
ther extended the area. The villages
became towns and these coalesced,
forming cities.
The population of the state grew
rapidly. From 4S9, 555 in 1850, the en-
suing decades showed these figures -
672.035, 9Oe, 1876, 1,131, 416, l, 414,9 and
1,883,669. This year will probably show
100000. The rate of increase is grow
ing.
In the first half of the last century
the population barely doubled. In the
second half it increased four-fold. 1t
doubled from 1850 to 1870 and doubled
that by 1900. The chances are that it
will double it's 1900 population by 1920,
and possibly sooner, for it has addi-
tional stimuli in the tunnels under
the river, automobiles and improved
trolley service, with good prospects of
a subway under the Hudson boulevard,
which alone would add nalf million
to the population during the coming
decade.
William R. Hearst predicts an ex-
odus OF a million from New York with
in the next ten years, and that is a
conservative estimate The conges-
tion In lower New York will force emf
grafton, and the facilities for reaching
homes in New Jersey will attract the
population more and more.
1t is net wild prediction to place
New Jerseys population at 100000
in 1920. It's suburban settlements are
already crowding one another and the
present condition of Hudson, which is
practically built up, will be reached in
Bergen, Essex, Union and Passaic and
probably in Camden.-Jersey Journal.

TALLY CASE WILL GO
 TO TRIAL ON MONDAY

For the purpose of taking part in the case of Ben Tally against the Alabama Western, Illinois Central railroads. Gen. Luke E. Wright. former secretary of war under Roosevelt. will arrive in Bir- mngham probably this afternoon.
 Caruthers Ewing of Memphis, who will be associated with General Wright in the case will arrive in the city tomorrow aft ernoon.
 The two Memphis attorneys will repre- sent the plaintiff while Walker Percy of Percy, Benners & Burr will represent the railroad
 The case is attracting a great deal of attention here by reason of it's complexi- ty of legal aspects and many lawyers will be in attendance when the case is called.
 Judge William I. Grubb will preside, and the trial will be entered into Mon day The federal court has been advised that all interests will be ready and no delays will result.
 MT. Talley is suing for $1O0,o00 claimed to be due for work and labor performed on the Alabama Western, when that line was completed from Haleyville. The case has been to the supreme court of this state one time and the indications are that it will be carried to the court of ap- peals from the federal district court.

TRAINS COMING TO
 CITY ARE CROWDED

While it may not be apparent on the streets, the city has been visited by great many people in the past two days. The railroads have been hauling them into Birmingham in large numbers and yesterday the trains reaching here were in some instances crowded to the doors with eager persons coming to Birming- ham to have a day at the fair.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad operated two sections to their morning and afternoon trains yesterday. A great many of the extra passengers stopped over in Birmingham.
 The Central of Georgia, the Southern railway, the seaboard. Frisco and At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic regular accommodation trains brought their DOT tion of fair visitors to the city.
 The two stations bore the greatest evi- dence of the presence of visitors. The Terminal and the Louisville and Nash vile union station presented scenes al- most like holidays, when travel is so heavy as to necessitate extra trains. The visitors seemed bent on seeing the fair and perhaps a greater number of them remained over until today as it is the weekend.
 This morning the various railroads an- ticipate a large crowd on all trains. The railroads announce they will provide ample and commodious accommodations for those who come here.
 The low rates applying to almost every city in the south is one influence which is expected to bring the crowds.

L. A. May Recalls Old Days in

Incidentally Says He Has No Thought of Compromising the Suit Brought By E. F. Enslen Against
 Him

1 For the purpose of hearing the testi- mony of Eugene F. Ensen against him ] in suit for $1,0Oo,0Oo, L. 4. May of New ! York and formerly of Birmingham. ar rived here yesterday.
 He was an interested spectator at the hearing yesterday afternoon in the of fees of Examiner Collins, when MT. En- I slen answered questions of Congressman | Hubert Parsons and w. H. Baker, attor- neys for L. A. May & Go. and William | B. Summerville. MT. May last night did not hesitate to affirm that absolutely no compromise would be made in the case and he added that he would contest every l inch of ground in the litigation.
 T have no desire to try the case out
 side the court" he said, but we will
 no idea that such is the intention of any
 one connected with the case from our side"
 MT. May said that while he did not care I to discuss his case he would talk all night and all day about how Birmingham
 has grown since he was here last. I T left here about IA years ago and have been here only 6 few times since," said MT. May "Bute was never more | astounded at any citys growth than l was at yours. when l walked about town today It is simply unthinkable that l left a small village, as it were. only d short time ago and that l come back here to find a metropolitan city. l recall when the First National bank building site was a saloon, the city hall a duck pond, the
 Hillman hotel a ball field for street ur- chins. and the fine big Woodward build ing a three-story place with no visible signs of prosperity.
 'All this causes me to wonder how big
 Birmingham will be in a few more years | I sincerely hope and trust that the very greatest material prosperity may come to Birmingham as she grows older and larger"
 ss Mir May stated that among financial men in New York conditions were looked upon as being very good with fine indica- tions for a successful winter season. He said politics in New York would not con tinue very long now and then everything would settle down to business, resulting in good returns to the great majority of people.

UNIQUE SERVICES
 BEGIN TOMORROW
DIR. EAyEs ANNOUNCES SERIES HAS BEEN PLANNED LOOKING TO STIMULATION OF CITIZENS TO CIVIC DUTIES

The Rev. Dr. George Eaves, pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church. an- nounces the beginning of a series of meetings tomorrow night which should prove of unusual interest. They will have as their object the stimulation of a closer relationship between Chris tion life and civic duty.
 Well known men will assist by mak- ing addresses which, it is expected, will be practical. helpful and illuminat- ing. The first of the series will be by Dr. R. B. Hardness, former city health officer, who will tell what the health department of Birmingham does and what it should do. At the close of these addresses opportunity will be given for questions about any feature of the work not made clear. Effort will be made to avoid anything like political controversy, the idea being to bring out helpful suggestions and to arouse in citizens a keener interest in the civic welfare of their city.
 Other addresses of the series will touch upon various features of mu- nicipal administra tion and it is ex- pected that the series will prove very helpful and stimulating. Dr. Eaves states that he believes there Is as good opportunity to show Christianity by aiding to solve city problems as there is in studying theology. The first of the services will be at the Congrega- tional chapel on Eighteenth street to- morrow night at 8 o'clock.
 Services at the church tomorrow will lbe as usual, Dr. Eaves' topic for the morning sermon at Il o'clock being "The Something After Death
