order Gas corrc- ire in the same scheme) for the A.-Dama conference to levy like assessment for Birmingham college. Whether that may be done re- mains to be seen.
 It is understood that in order stlll 1ur- ther to carry into effect the scheme or unification, correlation and classification, recommendation will be made to the com ing sessions of the North Alabama and the Alabama conferences to appoint one general board of trustees, composed or an equal number from each conference to take the places of all present boards or trustees of Athens college, Birmingham college. Woman's college at Montgom- cry and Southern university at Greens boro: said new board to be empowered to coordinate, unify and classify salo colleges according to the general terms Of the scheme devised. Whether these several boards of trust may fall into line with this scheme remains to be seen, and what the two conferences may do in the premises that, too, remains to be seen.
 A froecast certainly suggests the pos sibility of recurrence of the stirring scenes of other days.
 Superannuate Homes
 Among the brand new things credited to North Alabama Methodism Is the system of "supernnuate homes' for the wornout preachers and the widows Of preachers. This plan was the result or lot of fine head work and heart work, too, upon the part of excellent laymen some years back. MT. John E. Morris of Birmingham is counted the father of the undertaking. He built the first super annuate home-the. one at Montevallo. Since this has become difnite policy Of the conference, Dr. J. w. Norton, as agent, has been entrusted with the active work of development; and he and the plan itself are in the hands of wise board of managers. A good number Of homes have been provided, and other conferences have patterened after the scheme.
 The Bishop
 This Is Bishop Kilgo's initial appear ance in Alabama in the capacity of con ference president. He comes worthy and well recommended. and finds all the doors open and the windows up for his hospita- ble reception. The bishops prentice hand has already been tried, however, in tho matter of handling an annual confer ence-he having held the Kentucky and the Louisville conferences. At the gem eral conference at Birmingham in 1906 he lacked but narrow margin ofsthe Dish opric, and at Asheville, N. c, last May, his brethren put him in by a fine vote on the first ballot. Thus were attested his standing and popularity throughout the Methodist connection. Attention was drawn to him as proper man for the espiscopacy by his exceptionally able 'ad- ministration of the presidency of Trinity college, Durham, N. C., and also by his eminent ability in the pulpit. Bishop Kill go is a native of South Cardfina and Is the son of Methodist preacher: he turned "tar heeP' when elected to the presidency of Trinity college, and comes into the episcopacy from North Carolina He was educated at Wofford college, spartanburg, s. C.. was con- nected with that college as agent and professor from 1888 to 1894. and was for six years "circuit rider in the South Carolina conference. North Alabama greets him with the glad hand.

FL Arbol de la Noche Triste, the old

Cortez. conqueror Of Mexico, is said
to have sat and wept on the night of
his defeat by the Aztecs, will be saved

For some time the sentimentalists
in Mexico have been at their wits end
how to save the tree, which for some
years has shown evidence Of rapid le-

methods have been suggested, but all
so far have failed TO meet the approval
OF those interested. At one time 1t was
proposed TO cut the old tree down and
plant one OF the sprgs in Its place

that the young tree would merely

with general opposition.
