FEEDS HUMAN DERELICTs
Georgian Young Man Bountifur' tC
 Herald Square Buns
rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 It would be difficult to say whether the group of unfortunates who nightly drift into Herald square are more pleased than mystifed by the appearance of a young man in evening clothes, who for the last four nights has provided between 40 and 50 of them with midnight supper, a place to stay all night, and breakfast in the morning.
 All that any of them know about their strange benefactor is that he lives at the Waldorf Astoria One of the panhandling piclkets saw him come out of the notel last Monday night, the first night he provided them a "sit-down spread in a Sixth ave- nue restaurant. Every night since they have watched for his coming-with aug mented numbers-and have seen him re- turn to the hotel after making provision for their comfort
 The young man usually comes along about o'clock in. the morning. Turning into Herald square he whistles and waves his hand. They know the signal now There is shuffling of feet and the arous- ing of comrades, fast asleep against the wall, or in convenient corners and nooks, and then the long, struggling procession of peripatetics follows the young man bountifulh as he marches on an all-night restaurant near Sixth avenue and Thirty sixth street. The men receive supper Of beef stew. sandwiches, rice pudding and coffee The young man also closes nego- tiations with the restaurant proprietor for the men to remain in the place until 5:3O o'clock in the morning. In the morn ing they receive a breakfast of coiree' eggs and rolls.
 The restaurant looks more like BOW cry lodging house after o'clock than an untown eating place. The young man does not stop at providing nourlshmen. for the body He adds a full portion or advice for their edification while they are eating. After canvassing the White way early one morning the young man sue Ceeded in rounding up more than 50 men for his feast of food and reason. After the mon were served the young man lald aside his tall silk hat on pardiniere or toothpicks and began with rich, south ern accent:
 Now, look adhere. men. You are prop ahIv wondering who I am and why am doing this All I want you to do is to get out and hustle for work in the morning There ain't no sense in you fellows oelns idle. DO you ever look for work?
 There was no reply. for the mon Kept

Inexplicable
rom the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
 There is, or has been. a revolution in Mexico.
 Yet the battles have been poor things. The fighting has been mild and inoffen- sve. Up to late hour yesterday there had not been a conflict worth hundred feet of moving picture films
 This is utterly inexplicable.
 Anyone who has ever eaten the Mexi- can tamala will agree with us that na- ton which feeds upon that riotous thing should be quick on the trigger, full of strange baths and ready to blow the bub- ble reputation from the cannon's mouth
 Can it be that the Mexicans are so thor oughly tamaliied that they are immune to it's aggressive influence?

State Faces Most Perplex- ing Financial Problem
 in Many Years
OCTOBER PAYMENTS
 ARE LOOMING UP
The Governor Is Expected to Go to New York Wednesday and Will Return By the Annapolis
 Naval Academy

Montgomery, May 2s,-(Special.) 1.-Two warrants, aggregating s1s2,7 FPS. were drawn on the state treasury Monday. The first warrant was for s17S,725, being, the semi annual interest on the bonded indebt- edness of the state, and due July 1. The second warrant was for s400o, and was drawn by Adjt. Gen. Joseph B.. Scully to pay the encampment expenses of the Alabama National Guard.
 The semi-annual interest is payable In New York city on July 1 on the following bonds:
 Class "A' bonds, per cent. .s142, TAO .oc Class "C'' bonds, S1s per cent. 16,so5 % Four per cent funding bonds.... 1s.oso .oO
 Total ...........-.............. .Slfo, o.oU
 The withdrawal from the treasury of the sums represented by these two war rants left total amount on hand oi $10s. .229 2S, which Is s454,61so2 less than was in the treasury at the close of bus mess on May 29. 1910.
 whether or not the state will have enough money to meet the July pay ments Is not known, though 1t is re- garded as exceedingly doubtful. It has been estimated that something like $250,- 900 will be paid into the treasury by the convict department by July 1, and 1t is thought that at least $150,000 will be received from other sources, which will make about S500,0O0 available by that time.
 It is not believed, however, that therc will be any money on hand to meet the October payments. About S700,0O0 will be needed to pay the numerous regular ap- propriations which will be due at that time, exclusive of any of the special ap- populations, and it is confidently believed that the state will face grave deficit by October 1.
 Gov. Emmet ONeal will go to New York this week to make arrangements for loan of probably half million dol lars In order to meet the necessary ex- penditures of the state before January 1, next. It is stated that the governor will be in New York about Wednesday, and that he will return by way of Annapolis to see his son graduate at the United States Naval academy at that place. Just what arrangements the governor will make in New York in reference to borrow ing money for the state could not be ascertained but it is authoritatively stated that this is the object of his visit to New York at this time.
 The state Is believed to be facing one of the most perplexing financial problems that has confronted Alabama In 25 years, and it is declared that unless some ex- traordinary steps are taken the state will face a deficit of several million dollars by the end of the present administration.

It is the Mount Pinson public school. It is considered one of the best and most promising in the county. The county school officials are watching its growth with interest and pride.
 It has just closed an eight months term, the most successful in its history. Extensive improvements have been made in the building and grounds and interest is growing strongly among the patrons as well as teachers and pupils
 An indication of the new interest that has taken hold of the school community is the special literary work and social features that have been introduced by the pupils An annual oratorical contest has been introduced. The first annual event at the closing of the school a week ago was a brilliant success.
 A handsome gold medal had been of fered by young L. A. Alice, fancy egg farmer, recently established in the com- munity.
 Miss Pearl Tabor, one of the brightest young pupils in the school, won the medal. Her speech was of exceptional quality and was well delivered. The other pupils in the contest weer exceptionally brilliant and received the hearty plaudits of all present.
 The oratorical contest which has been made an annual affair, has stimulated great interest in the school.
 One of the results is an effort to estab- fish a good school library. This has good promise of immediate success and will also be a great stimulus to further im- provements in the school.
 The new interest in the local school is most commendable and it promises to bring wonderful results in the near fu- ture. The county school officials are watching the school with interest and stand ready to respond with any assist ance that is possible at any time.
 This promises to be one of the model schools of the county.

! Decatur, May 29.-(Special.) )-Martin M. Woods of Philadelphia, national secretary for the Junior Order United American National council of the Junior o. U. A. M. will not meet in Mobile, Ala, on June 20 next, as was the programme, but that 1t will meet in Tiffin, Ohio on that date instead.
 The change in the place of meeting is due to the fact that, in the opinion of the national board of control of the order sufficient hotel accommodations could not be secured in Mobile. The national coun- cil had a contract with the Battle House in Mobile for the entertainment of the national council, but owing to the recent failure of that noted hotel this contract was forfeited and other hotel arrange ments could not be made. The change was left to vote of the national repre- sentatives and Tiffin, Ohio. won.
 This is one of the largest national bodies in the United States. This body has never met in Alabama and on this account 1t Is regretted very much by members of the order in Alabama that the meeting this year will not be held in Mobile. The national council meets once every two years. It is understood that Birmingham will try for the meeting of 1913. The next place of meeting will be fixed at the meeting next month in Tiffin, Ohio.

BaraSa Audience Last Night.

The Baraga high school class of 1911
did honor unto itself and its instructors
at the Baraga Opera House yesterday
evening, when the friends and parents
of the members gathered to congratu-
late them on their work and bid them
"God Speed" in their step unto higher
things of this world.
Due to illness, Miss Agnes Mcmillan,
one of the graduates, was unable to

other two, Emil Berg and Miss Maysie
Stratton, delivered forceful essays
the former on "War or Peace" and the
latter on ''The Problem of the South. !"
The instrumental selections by Misses
Bertha E. Crebassa and Louise Peters
and Duschaine's orchestra were pleas
ing, as were the vocal soloes by John
A. Cochran, Joseph l. LaBrecque and
Miss Agnes Aurelia Murphy.
But far above the various parts Of the
program, which was well rendered,
stood the class address of Hon. H. R.
Pattengill of Lansing, former superin-
tendent of public instruction of the
state of Michigan, who also presented
the diplomas with few well chosen
remarks. Mr.. Pattengill chose as the
theme for address, the words, made

happenings. kept the audience deeply
interested while he pointed out to them
the wonderful advantages education
has given to the people of this nation,
enabling them to compete with all ma
tions Of the globe in all the manufac-
lures ofimportance. He also demonstrat.
ed how opportunity awaited everyone
in all branches Of industry, providing
of course, one has received the educa'
ton to enable him to grasp the situa
ton in the right manner.
Supt. Clinton is to be congratulated fol
bringing Mr.. Pattengill here. We fee
safe in saying that the six other cop
per country towns he visits will be hon
ored. zAf

class gave a reception at Grandvill'
Hall, music for dancing being furnishes
by Duschaine's orchestra.
