lectures, it is asserted, this branch of
education is being taken up in public
schools all over the country.
There remains a considerable di.
vergence among the purity workers,
however, as to how sexual education
is to be made effective. A minority
hold that parents are the only proper
persons to give such instruction. A
considerable number hold that the
duty devolyes upon clergymen and
Sunday school teachers, and that such
education should be given religious
basis and purity taught as a duty to
God. Physicians are advocated by
many as the proper instructors, with
lectures before public school classes
as the medium, and by these 1t is held
that the instruction should be along

Major Clitz went on the list Of the dead and
what was left of his regiment mourned him as
few soldiers are mourned.
Suitable orders were issued lamenting the death
of this hero of Cerro Gordo and Gaines Mills, but
before the period Of the real mourning was over,
though the official kind had been over for months,
the dead came to life again. Major Cntz nad

other places, but on his showing few signs OF

sent him to Libby.
Major Clitz was paroled. When he went back

purchase of that ticket one has been found,
soldier or civilian, to say that he has ever seen
Major Henry B. Clitz. The army records give in
detail the story of his gallantry in battle and at
the end of the shining record are these words.
"Mysteriously disappeared in the year 1888"
There was no mystery of disappearance in the

PREACHER ELECTED MAYOR

One of the most notable political
changes in New York at the recent
election was that in the city and coun-
ty of Schenectady, where certain Re-
publican and Democratic factions
united with the Socialists and elect
ed all the city officers, except one
and gained a majority of the county
offices, beside electing an assembly
man. The leader of these mixed
forces was Rev. DR.. George r. Lunn,
their candidate for mayor, whose por-
trait is shown, and who polled prac-
tically two-thirds Of the entire vote.
Rev. Dr. Lunn was at one time pas
tor of the First Reformed church, one
of the most aristocrat1c in the city.
Three years ago his advanced polit-
ical views, some of them in harmony
with Socialistic principles, forced his
resignation from the First Reformed
pulpit and he then organized the Unit

IS FIRST WOMAN OFFICIAL

Miss Edith Campbell is the lady
who has been elected member of
the Board of Education for the city of
Cincinnati. President Taft in a pub
lie speech heartily endorsed her can
didacy and though she was not on his
ticket he voted for her. She is a
brilliant woman with marked execu-
tive ability and wide educational ex-
perience. President Taft says he be-
lieves that every city Board of Edu-
cation would be the better for women
in it's membership and doubtless his
endorsement had much to do with
Miss Campbell's election.
Her election gives her a three-fold
distinction. She is the first woman
elected to any public Office in Gin
cinnati, though several have been
candidates before. She is the first
candidate ever elected to the Board
OF Education in Cincinnati who ran as
an independent, and she goes on last

United States for whom a president
OF the United States cast his vote.

Washington, May 1S.-(Special)-W. w. Finley, president of the Southern Railway company, today gave out the following statement:
 "A difference having arisen between the Southern Railway company and the fire men employed by it, I deem it proper, as president of the company, to make the following explanation:
 The representatives of the fremen president and general manager of the company, MT. Coapman, the question of their relations with the company. involv- ing the question of wages and the ques- ton of rules under which they should work.
 "As most usual in such cases, before any consideration was given to the ques- ton of rules, the question of wages was first taken up and considered. The de-
 mands of the men were for an increase in wages approximating 27.S per cent over the wages of last year, involving an in crease amounting to approximately s4oo.- GOO per annum. The vice president and general manager, not 1eeilhg thal cohui- tions were appropriate for considering an increase, declined it. and thereupon, as is usual, an appeal was taken by the com mittee representing the men to me as president of the company.
 When the appeal was presented to me only the question of the demand for an increase in wages was considered, no question as to the rules being in any
 way involved or passed upon, 1t being stated by me to the committee that that question must first be considered by the operating officers of the company.

GOLF IS POPULAR
 IN MONTGOMERY

Montgomery, May 1S.-(Special) )-Local golfers are taking more interest in that famous sport than at any time in the past history of the city Members of the Montgomery Country club are realizing as never before the superiority of the local golf links, and members are learning to play who heretofore have taken no interest in the sport
 The golf links are now in better con- dition than they have been at any time in the past. The course is probably one of the best in the south, and John M Inglis, the local golf expert, has a num- Der of men constantly at work keeping the course in proper condition
 Members of the Country club are justly proud of their golf course, which they re- gard as second to none in the entire south This is not only the opinion of members who play over the course every day, bu also the opinion of many golf experts from other sections of the country who have seen the local links.

SELECT MANSION
 SITE ON MONDAY

Montgomery, May B-(Special. )-The governors mansion commission will hold a meeting at the office of the governor on next Monday, May P. It is quite prob able that at this meeting steps will be taken looking to the immediate purchase or erection of a residence for the chief executive of the state.
 While the commission as a whole has only been on one tour of inspection, it is known that the commission has given much thought to the subject of securing a home for the governor, and it is be- lieved that the matter will be definitely settled within the next few days.
 Governor O'Neal has visited number of the homes offered for sale and it is not believed that he has been particularly pleased with any of them. Some of the homes of the city that are handsome enough to be used for a governors man. sion have some objectionable features Either the lot on which the home Is To. cated is too small, or else the home is a frame house, or again the lot may bt considered to be ideal but the home has not been found suitable.
 While the commission would like tc purchase home, it is now believed that they will be compelled to build mansion Some objection has been found to all ot tne places offered for sale-not the least of which being the high price which has been asked.
 It is pretty certain that the commits sion will come to some definite conclusion in regard to the matter on Monday next.
