WHO ARE THE cREATEsTa

From tho NoW H0rK HeraId.
 "An Amerioan,- in the cloumn of let ters from Herald readers this morning declares that the south realized years ago that Lincoln and Lee were tho two greatest men produced by the civil war. He as1ks if the north cannot sec as clearly.
 Of the picking of greatest men' of any country or any age there is no end. In selections for a national hall of fame Americans have e wealth of candidates But while there will be much debate as to the next greatest" after Lincoln in the epoch of the Civil war, the north long ago learned to admire the south's knightiy leader and to pay tribute to his rare qualities as leader and . man.

LOCATING CLEVER CRIMINALS

From the Strand.
 Experience proves that the men compe- tent to plan and execute crimes of q spe- cial character are limited in number, and they are definitely known. When such crimes occur. therefore, the list of men who are in that line of business is ex- amined. Some of them are found to be in seclusion-''doing time;" some of them are known to be out of London in the course of their business. others ard proved to have been at their registered addresses on the night of the crime. So by elimination the list becomes reduced to working dimensions, and 1t is not difficult to go on eliminating one name after an- other till the delinquent is found. But to find the criminal is often easier than to obtain evidence on which to charge him.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 The way foI a woman to like eating anything is to hear 1t is good for the complexion.
 A man can always learn his enemies in a short wn.le, but not his friends in a lifetime.
 Most men can preach themselves out of breath without ever thinking about prac- ticing any of 1t.
 Tho moro contempt we think we have for money the moro respect we seem 10 have for those who own it.

TT is indeed a credit 10 Birmingham
 that upon the first day of the can A vas over ss5,0oo was subscribed for the proposed new Y. M 0. A. build ing.
 The building Is to cost s2oo.ooo and is to be an ornament to the city.
 That this work is to be done at the outset of the new year and with the creation of the Greater Birmingham shows that the get-together and magnaa- imous spirit predominates.
 No other city in the south possesses it to greater degree. There is civic pride among the Birmingham people of today; and what they build is builded to last. Look at the handsome structures of the Southern club, the Athletic club, the Phoenix club, the Country club. and the Elks club.
 But the Y. M. c. A. club for the very young men and those unable to pay dues of consequence is to be the handsomest and most home-li1e concern of the city
 It is a great work the promoters and people of Birmingham are doing.
 When this is done there shall come tho
