 In it's amending undertaking to reduce of the sum of human misery charity has shared the changes of the passing gem erations until 1t has become less dog matic and more democratic. Moreover, modern charity, continually discovering new obligations, has been obliged to call to it's aid economics, sanitary science, statistical research and many other agencies. It has, therefore, been forced to recognize that charitable effort is part of the general social movement.
 Charitable folk have been irresistably led by gradual steps from cure to preven- ton and we are now being led in the same gradual but unresting manner from prevention to a consideration of vital welfare. The negative policy of relieving Restitution or even the more generous one of preventing it, is giving way to the positive idea of raising life to its highest value Modern charity Is commit ted to this newer service of increasing the positive value of life.
 The philanthropic contributed to the for nation of the modern state because they realized how inadequate personal sentl- ments of pity and justice were unless they could find expression as an integral branch of corporate government. Through a century, therefore, the philanthropists have been steadily engaged in making new state. We may illustrate this pro- cess by a century of effort in England to protect chimney sweeps.

Five hundred years ago John Ball, looking over England. tells us that he saw the great treading down the lit- tie. the strong beating down the weak, and cruel men fearing not and kind men daring not. and wise men caring not" and then with lis heart burning within him. he cries aloud, and the saints in heaven forbearing, and yet bidding me not to forbear."
 If we compare our time with his, we will admit that although the great still tread down the little, and the strong beat down the weak, that tho cruel are at last becoming afraid of public opinion. that kind men are more daring in their schemes of alleviation than they used to be and wise men are more solcitous. We do not venture to say whether or not the saints in heaven forbear but we are very certain that no saint on earth could forbear in the presence of contemporaneous social and industrial conditions, both saint or stn- ner know that the conditions can only be made more righteous and more hu. man by the increasing devotion or countless generations of men.

 | Mir Montague was a gentleman of fine presence who entered enthusiastically into
 public affairs and was an acknowledged | factor in hte early society of the parish.
 I do not find that he held public office
 at any time, but he was a ready stump
 speaker. In 1S45 William L. Yancey, then
 not 30 years of age, became candidate
 for Congress The district included Perry
 county The candidate was a Calhoun
 democrat, Montague was a Clay whig. The announced contestant, a whig, has
 not yet appeared in the canvass. So as Yancey entered each county the whigs
 put up fresh men to represent them in l joint debate with him. It was not gen.
 erally known before now that the young
 editor of weekly newspaper at We tumpka was very much of an orator. The whigs of Uniontown sent over to Marengo | for Mir. Montague to meet the candidate l in Joint discussion, the Calhoun measure, the annexation of Texas being the topic anticipated. Yancey spoke, Montague re-
 piled and Yancey rejoined. But MT. Montague mounted his horse and rode away before the candidate concluded. He | had come unconsciously to hear style | of oratory wholly new to him. He had unawares met an orator that none in Ala bama or elsewhere ever successfully con- | tended with in joint debate on the stump | In 1S49, when the California gold fever was at it's height, MT. Montague. in com pany with his brother-in-law, MT. A. J.
 Kidd, went to that distant coast in search
 of sudden riches. They returned without success. He carried and brought back 11t fptp | In 1852 MT. Montague sold "Richland" plantation to MT. James H. DuBose. MT. DuBose at once occupied the place with his family while MT. Montague moved his family, greatly to the regret of his
 wife, to the Red river region of Louis lana. It was a large family of sons and daughters.
 HENRY DUGGAR.
 King George III deeded to John Dugar of Wales 1900 acres of land in Brunswick county, Virginia. in 1760. and the beneh- ciary came to reside on the estate. His
 sons were Daniel, Benjamin, Henry and
 John. Jr. Daniel became noted as a young gentleman of elegant amusements, the owner of great racehorses.
 Henry Duggar married Alice Goode Vaughan at "Ballersea,'' and as early as 1889 had invested in land in St. Andrews parish. It was 1s44, however, before he removed thither with his family. They reared family of sons and one daughter there, all of whom became interesting members of canebrake society.
 ALBERT JASPER KIDD. This gentleman married Virginia Goode, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Reuben Vaughan. He lived with his wife and two daughters ond one son on his plantation in this parish, but died in the prime of life in 1853, froUl yelldw fever contracted in Selma.
 In closing the mention of this large and influential family of the pioneer planters of the canebrake regret must be ex- pressed at the narrow limits of the lines

 Finland FOR POLITICAL REASONS Notable Criminal Is Captured at Mos- COW by Peasant Youth After Spec tacu1ar Chase, During Which

FOR POLITICAL REASONS

St. Petersburg, June &.-(Special.)-- The practical absorption of Finland into the Russian empire was a political ne- cessity, in the opinion of M. stoiypin. tho premier In a speech to the duma M stolypin stated~>tbe imperial position clearly and unequlvocally Speaking of the inclusion of the Finnish schools, newspaper regulations. meetings and as- sociations within the competence of i'm perial legislation, he said the schools were included because Finnish teachers were constantly insulting the youth Of the country with hostile feelings against the Russian government. The same hos tile intent animated newspapers, meet ings and associations, and the govern ment must have control over them all. The contempt excited by this idea of Rus sian dissolution had prompted the Films to threaten passive resistance, and it was the same thought that had produced the uninyited intervention of foreigners; but.

 A secret police officer named Muratoff was walking unarmed in one of the
 
 days ago, when he thought he recognized the mistress of a long -sought-for crim- iral named Shuravleff, alias Bolussoff. The woman was accompanied by a man whom the detective rightly guessed to be Shuravleff, and whom he promptly seized by the wrists with view to arresting him. Shravleff threw off the detective and took to flight, drawing 8 revolver from his pocket and firing four shots at Mura- toff. who ran after him. The detective fell to the ground mortally wounded. He was carried to the nearest hisptal, where he died In a few minutes. In the meantime the pursuit was con- tjuued, and Shuravleff fired nearly a doz- en shots at the police and others who were following him. None of them, how ever. took effect. although the uniforms Of several policemen bore bullet marks. After lodging from street to street, Shu- ravieff dashed down a cul-de-sac abutting on railway embankment. He fired at the guard on duty, but missed him; and tEen a peasant youth made a rush at him and caught him by the legs, bringing him to the ground. He was immediately arr rested.
 Shuravleff's record of crime Is almost incredible He is known ito have perpe- trated at least seven murders and to have been concerned In Is armed rob beries 12 church thefts and 200 other crimes most of which were committed In the vicinity of Moscow. For many years he has eluded all the efforts of the police to capture him, thanks mainly to his ge- nius in assuming impenetrable disguises He Is only 30 years old.

INTRODUCTION.
in its economic relations the English
sparrow among birds is comparable to
the rat among mammals. It IS cunning.
destructive, and filthy. This sparrow was
introduced into America about sixty years
ago. and Is now distrlbited generally
over the eastern half OF tho United States
and southern CANADA and locally west
ward to the Pacific coast. This rapid dis
senlinatfon is a result OF the birds har-
diness, extraordinary fecundity, diversity
OF food, aggressive disposition, and al
most complete immunity from natural en-
enltes through III saRncity and its prefer.
cncc for thickly settled communities.
Its natural diet consists Of secda. hui
II eats a great variety OF other foods
While much Of IT. annual fare consists -.
waste material from the streets. III at.
tuiln and winter It consumes quantities
OF weed seed, and in summer numerous
insects. The destruction OF weed seed is
undeniably IN the sparrow's favor It.
record az to insects is not so clear. There
Is substa ntial evidence that It eats GER
tain harmful! insects quite freely wher
these are abundant, but that Il habitli-
ally seeks insects, or that its prefers
them to seeds or other vegetable food
Is not borne out by the evidence. out of -.
English sparrow stomachs examined by
the biological survey. A. contained noX
ious insects, 80 contained beneficial In.
sects. and 81 contained insects OF little OF
no economic Importance. This report
shows conclusively that. aside from the
destruction of weed seed, there is very
