.THE wILEs OF woMnNy

From 1.-The World and His Wife,"
Once upon a day a youth passed down
a street in an ancient city reading
book. A hanum, regarding him from her
lattice, saw that he was comedy and de-
sired him. So she called out: Come in,
my soul, for my husband is away and
we can eat and be merry The youth
entered, putting his book In his bosom
as he did SO. She asked: what book
vast thou readingg' and he replied: 1T
Is called The Wiles of Women" They
then sat down and ate and were merry. :
Presently her husband appeared and
she got up hastily, and, pushing the
youth into closet locked the door. The
pasha, entering, cried aloud: What do
I see? With whom hast thou been feast
ing?" She answered softly: NJ All. my
husband. ! saw youth who was comedy
and I prayed him to come in and eat
with me. for sthou vast away, t'Miser-

Where hast thou put him. ''In the

She minded. him the key, and as he took

the key and burst into great laugh.
"Oh, thou clever woman. to trick me so!

And he rushed on to the bazaars to buy

KITCHENER OF KHARTUM

From the New York World.
The brief and almost surreptitious visit
to New York by one Of the greatest SOL
diers of modern times has served by rea-
son Of it's very contrast to leave an i'm
preston which no civic honors or public
parades could have deepened. In this
quiet man in a tweed suit who would not
even sanction salute by battalion. Of
West Point cadets, the city has been
privileged to see the most conspicuous
example of military modesty since Grant
and the fact is one on which it Is agree
able to dwell. There has been no hint in
anything he has said that this was the
hero OF Khartum not word about my
regiment, my plan of campaign, my pol
icy In India; no allusion to any event In
the remarkable career of the plain SOL
der, whose eminent services raised him
to the peeraee and won for him the rank
of field marshal. He has said not q word
that could acause GOVERN at any foreign
office. The example of unostentation and
of an. incognito strictly preserved is one
useful for comparison. New York will
regret the departure of its distinguished
guest. but with due appreciation of the
fact that 1t has been long enough to
point moral OF modest merit.

President Taft'S Tariff Board

A big battle is to be fought over the
item of s.5o,0OO in the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, still pending in the House
This item is to carry out President Tafts
plan for a tariff board to ascertain the
differences of cost on production at homo
and abroad.
In the coming battle the standpatters
will line up with the democrats. The
democrats do not like the item because
the tariff board is to report to the Pres
ident rather than Congress itself The
etandpatters think the President will
utilize the tariff board to urge another
revision in the winter of. 1911, hoping in
that way to relieve himself and his party
of some of the odium of the Aldrich
however, vote for the item. The stand
patters who vote against 1t will be those
who represent the chief beneficiaries of
the tariff. and they will thus Temporal
rily become insurgents, for the s250,00O
item is distinctly and emphatically an
administration proposition.
The battle over this item will be one
of the livelest of the session, and the
lineup on it will certainly be interesting.
nifty to disport themselves as insurgents.
At present the plan is to rule out the
item on a point of order, thus avoiding
a change of front on the part of the

BIRMINGHAM Enters Upon New Era

The gas wells of Fayette county, about
so miles from Birmingham, are no longer
in the experimental class. Practical OPP
orators of gas and oil properties, as we'll
as biologists and gas engineers, express
absolute confidence in the commercial
value of the Fayette field, and 1t should
be only a question of few months when
a pipe line from the wells into Birming-
ham is completed.
In the early days of BirIninghams his
tory this district established its claim to
recognition as dominant industrial CEN
minimum cost Nature had favored no
other section of this country. or of any
other. as for that matter, as 1t had ia
vored this district Iron ore. coking coal
and limestone, all In lavish supply, are
found here In close proximity. And be-
cause of the relatively cheap cost of
making the pig metal Birmingham fixes
the price for the world.
Later on when it was demonstrated
that steel of high grade could be pro-
duced here on a commercial scale at a
good profit the Birmingham district en-
tered upon a new era of prosperity. Steel
rails manufactured at the Ensley plant
are of such superior quality as to com,
mand a premium The very day that the
Tennessee company began to turn out
mingham and the Birmingham district
rose to higher Levels.
Now that we are to have fuel gas from
wells less than 100 miles away, Birming-
ham enters upon another forward era
The piping of natural fuel into a great
and growing manufacturing center like
birmingham ndheS OTlSiHdl cost OIL con-
struction and outlay for equipment of
minor consideration. The work is to be
pushed forward speedily and before the
| end of the year Birmingham should be
drawing its gas supply from natures
wells in the county of Fayette. And the
first delivery of natural gas should be
made an occasion for a grand celebration
under the auspices of the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce. A

lionaires. 1t is probably the richest city
in the world. But Birmingham will some
day surpass even Pittsburgs wealth rec

Work of the General Conference

Important issues comesup whenever the
general conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, south. sits. This is in
evitable in a large church whose general
parliament meets but once in four years.
The Asheville conference did settle the
Vanderbilt university matter by assuming
control and ownership of that institu-
ton. Hereafter the general conference
will select trustees of the university
The conference also Increased the assess
ments for educational purposes and Van
derbilt. university Is to receive a part
of the increased assessment.
But a number OF mooted questions were
left unsettled. The name Of the church
is warm subject. '"rhe Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South" is not broad enough
to suit some members. and they desire
TO have the name changed to THE Meth
odist Church of America" The question
is to be submitted to the. annual con-
,ferences,, and If three-fourths Of them
approve the, change, it may be brought
about in the next general conference.

still vexed question, many desiring to
see 1t removed altogether. This subject
will come UP in the next general con-
ference, but it may not be fully deter
mined even then.
The women, too, demanded the right to
vote and to fill in the church all posi-
tons except that of the preacher. The
memorial of the women was voted down
at Asheville. but this vote settles moth
ing. Another memorial will be presented
four years hence, and no doubt in the long
run the women will gain the rights they
seek.

CAREER OF AARON BURR

as Hamilton possibly would have BEEN
if he had survived and Burr fallen.
AS for Burr's western venture, it is
matter that history has not yet
finally adjudicated. He was appre-
hended for treason in Kentucky, prose-
cuted by the great Joe Daviess, defend
ed by Henry Clay and went acquit.
Later he was, indicted for treason by
a grand jury of which John Randolph
Of Roanoke was foreman. Chief JUS
tice John Marshall presided at the trial:
Luther Martin defended. and William
Writ prosecuted. There was a good
deal of politics in the issue. President.
jefferson sought his conviction, but
Marshall, more than the jury. deter
mined his acquittaL He was found
not guilty
Burr's bust Is in niche of the cap
itol because he was vice president of
the United States, in which station hs
presided with a grace and dignity new
er surpassed, and as 1t was de-
scribed. with the impartiality of an
angel and the rigor of a devil" His
farewell speech brought tears to every
eye.
Later he sought command in the
armies of the great Napoleon, who
was too busy to give him audience, but
it is possible that had Napoleon talked
with him an hour Burr would have
been created marshal of France.
He was a wonderful man. but too
much of an adventurer.

STATE PROHIBITION IN ALABAMA

From Harpers Weekly.
The victory of O'Neai over Mallory In
their contest for the democratic nominal
ton for governor of Alabama indicates
the continued refiuence of the prohibition
tide in that state, If not in the whole
lower south. ONeal stood for the local
option plan of dealing with the liquor
trade Mallory for statewide prohibition.
Last autumn, when a special election
was held to determine whether or not
prohibition should go into the constitu-
ton, the proposal was overwhelmingly
beaten; but many good Judges thought
that prohibition by statute, such as the
state now has would nevertheless still
be found in favor with majority of the
voters. The proposed constitutional
amendment was thought too drastic, and
Governor Corners administration, which
was behind it. was unpopular. 1t was
believed therefore, that Mallory, who,
though a prohibitionist, had not been
particularly violent or rabid, would prob
ably win over O'Neal. whom some re-
garded as too favorably inclined to the
liquor interests. But evidently there is
still resentment over the way the Anti
Saloon league forced the original prohibit
ton law through the legislature without
any sort of appeal to the people.
Nevertheless, If the liquor interests ex-
pect to see the open saloon re-established
all over Alabama, they are doubtless 60
Ing to be disappointed. Ender local OPP
ton 1t had been banished from nine.
tenths of the states area before the state
law was passed. That may be regarded
as an experiment in dealing with the
| question. useful in some ways, hurtful In
others But even If it is eventually aban-
doned there is no probability that in Ala
bama or any other southern state the
| liquor traffic will be permitted to regain
the freedom from proper Limitation and
| control, or the political power, which II
| once enjoyed and abused.
