 HIMSELF IN JAIL Tells Officer He Is Crazy and Wants To Be Inn
 prisoned

Bryant McShan, a white man. annsr- ently about B years of age. approached Wafden Brown at the county jail Sat urday night stating that he wished to be locked up.
 warden Brown asked his reasons for the strange request, to which the man replied that he was crazy
 Why, you look sane enough" stated Mr. Brown.
 That's alright about that. but am as crazy as a loon,' the man persisted.
 What makes you think you are crazy?' inquired the warden.
 Well, I was run out of one town in Alabama Tor pulling up weeds out of the grass was one of his reasons.
 Ihinking that there might be some- thing to the mans idea concerning his brain, he took him in and registered him. placing a charge of vagrancy against him, although during the customary search a bank book, posted to date, showed that he had balance of more than s7o0 to his credit. E All during yesterday the jailers state. he was violently insane, to all outward appearances. It is said that he will lay on his bunk, staring straight at the ceil- ing and then jump up crying out in fear that someone was after him and not to let them get him.
 He told Warden Brown that he had a brother living in Birmingham, although the directory does not show anyone living in the city named McShan. There are McShanes, but no MeShans. An investi- gation will be begun today.

to receive the full benefit of the ancient music, you must hear it in its original setting of the sobs, signs and cries of
 the early days of Judiaiasm.
 This message of melody comes to us tonight in order to make us search
 our hearts in every recess, to strike the tenderest chords of the soul and sum-
 mon memorable sincerity for the
 atonement of our sins. This is the most
 sublime, the most majestic of our re- ligious ceremonials and strips naked
 our characters. as it were, of self deceit, lies and frauds. It holds the mirror of
 Gods liquid truth to our inner vision.
 Is there any of you so empty and shal- low that you cannot measure yourself | by the standard offered?
 There may be some who will shrug their shoulders, in their insolence and cowardice, and say they are too intel lectual to be swayed by an old cere-
 mony, an ancient observance. But I am
 glad to know that there are many,
 many who are yet of the faith in the
 Atonement and will humbly observe it
 as all good Jews should; who will be filled with child like wonder and rever-
 ence and become sanctified with the spirit of the day. This White day comes laden with the message of every human being, who recognizes humanity in themselves
 and others. It is to bring peace to our fellowmen and with our fellowmen, but first we must have peace with God If any one has done a wrong to his fellowman let him rectify this. If he
 bears grudge against any man how
 can he come with chastity of spirit to tilis altar without tearing that feeling
 out? If a man has plotted revenge
 upon another, how can he ask pardon from above?
 Ponder with me on the old Hebre "
 law of equality, when it is read that rich and poor alike shall contribute an atone
 ment offering commensurate with their
 sins. The principle of equality is the fundamental principal of Judaism, for the democratic spirit of equality has pre- vailed throughout the, history of the church. Every Jew, according to the old faith, is pledged and is a bondsman to help his fellow man and follow the law of equality If this was practiced more generally we would not have so many social, industrial and political conflicts.
 Among the ancient Jews not the rich man 1 but the scholar, the pious man who was of the greatest service publicly to his fellows was the aristocrat and not the wealthy capitalist. as it is today If the law of equality was realized by the world, the luxuries of the few would not be more important than the necessi- /, ties of the many"
 1 The solemn prayer for the deceased | relatives of those in the congregation was read at the conclusion of the sermon | and soon afterwards the first ceremony of the Day of Atonement was ended.

 MaderO Is Interested
 Madero displayed lively interest in the progress of the election, spendloc several minutes in the booth talking to the election judges, one of whom was Gabriel Madero, his brother.
 Early In the day it became evident the race in the capital for the vice president was between De la Barra and Pino Suarez. It was a surprise to many that Dr. Vasquez-Gomez, the other running mate of Madero who was rejected by the progressive convention, did not make a better showing in the capital In the better quarters of the city Pino Suarez made a much better showing than in those quarters populated by the laboring people. In the quarter where the igno- rant voter predominated De la Barra led notwithstanding the popular impression it would be otherwise. Madero had ad- vised against his choice.
 Politicians tonight explained it on the ground that the people had been advised by the priests to vote for the candidate of the Catholic party. They were forbid den by the archbishop to publicly advo- cate the candidacy of any one, but in an encyolical letter he told them they might give advice privately when 1t was asked for.
 Throughout the day the students of the capital working for no candidate in par ticular stayed at the polls telling the timd ones how to vote. s..

Complexions Talked
 Off At Home
(From Pilgrim Magazine)


 The girl with the poor complexion complains, T have to touch up my cheeks. l am sallow and sight, and cnly my makeup saves me-"
 Now, as matter of fact, more women spoil their good looks than im- prove them with cosmetics. The prac- tice certainly Is unnecessary, now that the virtues of ordinary mercolized wax as beautifier have become known. It has been found that the mercolide in the wax has wonderful absorbent powers. It causes the faded or discolored scarf skin to flake off in minute, almost imperceptible particles, so gently, gradually, as to cause no inconvenience at all. In this way the old complexion is actually removed likewise all fine lines, pimples, blotches, moth patches and other sur face defects A new complexion ap- pears-a clear. smooth youthful, healthy hued skin such as no paint. powder or lotion can produce. Mercol- ized wax, to be had at any drug store, is applied like cold cream.

There appeared to be very good
market for the school bonds here ut
the time they were to be offered for
sale and it is believed by men in
position to express an opinion that
they would have brought consider
ably more than face value. The
school board and all friends of the
Ncause of education and the welfare
OF the children were enthusiastic
over the bright outlook for school
buildings and better facilities as a
result. The election results were
accepted and no one undertook to
contest them. indeed, there was rea-
son to believe that all differences had
been settled by ballot at the polls,
where every qualified voter would
have been afforded the opportunity
to vote the way he pleased, had he
gone to the polls. But, only few
hours before the announced hour of
sale and after several persons had
come here from distance to attend
the sale a coterie of persons app
Peared on the scene and threw the
matter into court thus preventing
the sale and also causing delay in
the preparations for additional
buildings to say nothing of the adj
verse effect on the market of the
bonds. After due argument in the
circuit court for and against an in
Junction to restrain the school board
from selling the bonds, Judge
Charles w. Lynch delivered an ex-
haustive opinion. very able, indeed
denying a permanent Injunction
holding that the technicality adj
vanced by the applicants for such
an injunction did not apply.
The question arises as to whom
were those who thwarted the sale
Of the bonds at the time acting for?
Were they doing it for themselves
or did they represent the prospective
purchasers voluntarily in zeal
against their purchasing invalid
bonds? Or were they devoting their
energies to promoting the welfare
Of the boys and girls OF the school
district by trying to deprive them
of proper school buildings? II
would hardly be fair to them for
the Telegram to essay to answeF
these questions for them Perhaps
they themselves will explain their
motive.
