Death In New York.
New York, February 4.-Ethel Ber-
nard, a pretty young woman of twen-
ty-three years, was found lying face
downward on the floor of her we'll
furnished apartment, in West Ninety
eighth Street tonight, her cheeks
smeared with blood. She had been
shot by William T. Fisher, clerk. who
was found dying in bed in an ad.
Joining chamber, a revolver in his
nerveless hand. a gaping wound in
his forehead. red stains on the white
linen. Nobody heard the quarrel, but
it must have been as brief as it was
violent. Nobody knows the motive.
Both expired In a few moments, and
murder and suicide summed the case
up in the records of the police.
The fiat, which was handsomely fur
nished in a well-to-do uptown resi-
dence district. had been rented by
Fisher. who lived there ostensibly with
his wife. y maid. who discovered the
tragedy. said Fisher was hank clerk,
and that his companion was Ethel
Bernard. an actress. Fisher appearel
to be about thirty-eight years old.

 LAUDS SUNDAY SCHOOL
Recent Article Praises Work at the
 First Presbyterian Church

In the Christian Endeavor of a recent issue the First Presbyterian Sunday school of Birmingham is given boost by an article describing the activities Of the school Here is an extract:
 HBirmingham.-Under the superinten- dence of F. w. Dixon the Sunday school of the First Presbyterian church is taking on new life. One remarkable fact is that it has a married ladies' class, with an enrolment of over 150, which was organ ized and is being taught by Mrs. E. R. Smith. The school has just made ar engagements with Sheriff Higdon to open a branch school in the county jail, just across the street. This school has opened and is taught by Capt. J. w. Lee, while the main school is in session. The school also bears the distinction of standing right at the top every year in the amount Of subscriptions to the orphans home, and it is educating two Presbyterian min- isters, one at Austin college, Texas, and one at the Louisville seminary. The prob lem of a downtown location is being successfully grappled with by the new pas tor the Rev. J. s. Foster, D. D., by close attention to the people in the neigh borhood. Within a radius of four blocks there are hundreds of young men in boarding houses, who are beginning to know Dr. Foster as friend, and who make his church their regular place of attendance

GREENE SUCCESSOR
 TO BE NAMED SOON
LOCAL INFORMATION IS THAT THREE PITTSBURG MEN ARE UN-
 DER CONSIDERATION FOR MANA
 GER OF REPUBLIC INTERESTS

It is probable that the successor to ". A Greene as manager of the south ern division of the Republic Iron and Steel company will be named within the next fUr days. In local industrial circles the greatest interest has been shown as to who will be given the position to be vacated by Mir. Greene.
 Locally it is stated that President Guthrie has taken up the names of three men in Phtsburg for the posi- tion, but that nothing will be given out until next week. However, from all the facts obtainable here it is not believed that successor will be named from the employees in this district. l. Is stated that the company will prob ably send one of the most able men of the Republic organization to Bir- mingham to take this position. The reason for this is the recognized fact that within the next few years wide and important changes will be made affecting Birmingham and man equipped in every phase of the bus mess is desired here.
 There are many employees of the com pany here who have been taken into consideration in selecting the success sor to Mir. Greene. However, the indi- cations favor a man from Pittsburg at this time.
