started the present contest. said to have

property valued at about $4,000 to Mrs.
Julia Gleason. who claims to have been
the common law wife Of the deceased
The paper refers to Julia Gleason in the
terms OF my lawful wife," and there is
said to be abundant evidence in Swink
that the couple lived together for many
months. and that nothing contrary to the
supposition that they were legally mar
ried was known among their acquain-
taness. This will was brought to Colo
yado Springs by Justice A. p. Toombs

A good deal OF curiosity has been
shown in regard to the Sunday pro-
gram at the Chautauqua, and qucs-
tons have been asked as to whether
the churches would be asked to dis
miss regular services Sunday morn

churches Sunday morning. There
will. however, be carried out. a rcgu.
Jar nrogram Sunday afternoon and

that company announces that. effective
next Thursday and continuing through
the summer. special sleeping car will
be operated from this city to that resort
Captain Johnson said yesterday:
"Our company hopes to interest Bir-

just returned from that resort and have
authority to- assure Birmingham people
that every facility for a joyous summer
outing at seaside resort will be previd-
ed for Birmingham guests. The Seaboard

car direct from this city to Wrightsville.
We hope Birmingham will receive its
share of the delights of this place. Last
year it was stated that Atlanta visitors
paid more money In Wrightsville than
the entire state of North Carolina |

be very enjoyable. Every hotel has add

.The farm movement" which the Biz
mingham Chamber of Commerce Is now
organizing, promises well. While this is
essentially manufacturing center, the
county of Jefferson contains hundreds OF
thousands of fertile acres especially suit
ed to truck farming.
Within a radius of five miles of Biz
mingham 1900 to 1900 acres are avail
able for small farming, and within ten
miles fully 10000 acres can be acquired
by homeseekers with agricultural or hor-
ticultural experience, on very easy terms
The Chamber of Commerce committee
having this farm movement in hand is
composed of prominent business men, and
they have made good start by employ
ing as land agent s. Hechinger, well
known as an authority on immigration.
During several years of residence here
Mr.. Hechinger has devoted his time and
talents to the study of local conditions,
with a view of bringing to the untitled
lands of Alabama homeseekers from the
north.
The proper literature is being prepared
for distribution in the agricultural sec
tons of the northwest. and perhaps in
Europe. It will require time to get large
results. Only preliminary work can be
done this year, but If the committee ex-
ercises patience and promotes this farm
movement Systematically in three years
from now truck farming and poultry rails
ing will be among the most important
industries of jefferson county. Thou
sands of Industrious families will be add
ed to the population. The productiveness
OF the county will be greatly enhanced
and the wealth of the Birmingham dis
trict will be increased many fold.

Col. ROoseVelt'S ImperialiStiC Tendencies

After the freedom of the city of London
had been conferred on him Colonel Roose-
Welt at once began to discuss the affairs
of his host, and the liberal papers do
rot take kindly to his criticism of the
methods they have adopted In Egypt.
He even had the holiness to say to them:
IF you feel that you have not the right
to be in Egypt and establish and keep
order there, then by all means get out"
This is essentially Rooseveltian, and no
one in this country will be surprised at it,
What is this Egyptian problem, any
way? Egypt has khedive and a cabinet
and a general assembly and legislative
council-all Egyptians England fur
nishes a general to command the Egyp-
tan army, and she keeps in Cairo an

How Lorimer Was Elected

In the Illinois legislature there are 1888
representatives and 81 senators-a total
of 2o4. After long effort to re-elect SEN
ator Hopkins, the primary nominee of his
party, and after the democrats of the leg
islature had placed In nomination Mr.
Etringer, 81 republicans and So democrats
suddenly deserted their respective nomi-
nces to vote for and to elect Mr.. Lorimer
senator. who was then a member of the
house of representatives.
Although four members of the legisla-
4ure have confessed that they received
considerable brides to vote for Lorimer,
yet no one has said that he was bribed
by Iorimer personally. The better opinion
is that the special interests which Lori
mer had long served combined to buy a
senatorial seat for him. They needed
1ust that kind of a republican in the Sem
ate to supplement the standpat policies
Of ancient Cullom. Lorimer can perhaps
truthfully say he bribed no one, but 1t
Il mere nonsense to say that he did not
know the nature of the business going
on behind his back.
This theory OF the scandalous case does
not in the least lesson it's lessons or it's
dangers. The seekers of privilege, taking
their cue from the Aldrich tariff, are
everywhere at work undermining popular
rights to build up corporate or other
special interests, and Billy Lorimer Of
Chicago is the individual incarnation of
this general gumshoe invasion of the field
Of equal rights.
The United States Senate should go to
the bottom of the Lorimer case regard
less OF the fact that Lorimer did not
perhaps do any personal briblng. He may
know the special interests that did do it,
and the Senate should not rest until the
whole truth Is disclosed in this most
scandalous case.

No Victory for the Administration

The people of this country are indebted

troll of legislation before the court of
commerce largely in the hands of Wick

in the bill that will commend it to the

Street Cars to Corey

Street cars will be operated to corey

The line to Corey had progressed SUI
hoientiy far for cars to be operated last
week, but Superintendent Harris of the
street railway department of the Biz
raingham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany thought 1t was best to have the
track further ballasted and in better shape
before putting on a schedule.
When the schedule is announced the
cars will connect at Ensley with the
Though cars to Birmingham. They Will
be operated to the entrance of Corey,
and probably one or two blocks through
the property.
"The opening of the car service will af-
ford the public an opportunity to visit

don Gorst. He thinks he should be more
autocratic, more imperialistic, more
Rooseveltian in a word. For Mr.. Roose-
welt is a true imperialist.
Not long ago Boutros Pasha, the Egyp-
tan prime minister, was yassassinated.
The act undoubtedly was political. The
young Egyptians did not like him. His
murder was an aspiration to self-govern-
ment. The young Egyptians were not
hunted down Russian fashion, and this is
why the colonel says British rule in
Egypt is too mild. And yet the particu-
lar assassin of the Egyptian premier Is
to be hanged. What more could the Brit
ish do?
The truth is, Colonel Roosevelt thinks
the big stick should be used freely In
Egypt Ever since Japan whipped Rus
STA out of its boots and the young Turks
overthrow Abdul Hamid in Turkey the
entire Orient has been a state of discon-
tent. Egypt shares this discomfort, and
England is probably treating the new
desire for self-government as wisely as
the colonel himself could have treated it.
The same feeling exists in the Philip-
pines, and no one in this country pro-
poses to crush it. or even to repress its
reasonable manifestations. The Filipinos
dc not hesitate to say that they want in
dependence, and they want it quick. They
are in the Orient and they share the
new desire of the Orient. They have not
killed anybody, it is true. The assassi-
nation of one man in Egypt unduly
aroused the colonel's wrath. and he pro-
ceeded to talk about his host as no other
man has talked, or probably ever will
talk.
