gers. A great many people have a mis- taken idea that this service is light en- gagingly adventurous and a snap. It is adventurous and may be considered snap py in another sense but the work is far from being light. A forest ranger is paid s1100 year and if horse is required, as is the case in some parts of the service, he must furnish and feed it.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock recently received the following letter which is a fair sample of numerous bits of corre- spondence that often finds it's way into this department
 Dear MT. Hitchcock. Please find en- closed one two cent stamp and one one cent stamp for which I owe you. When I was a child I used those stamps that came on a letter because they were not cancelled, and did not know that 1t was wrong until l read In Gods word"
 The following was also received by the postmaster general from J. o. Stewart, of Slocum, Tex.
 Dear Sir I will write you a few lines asking you if you have an instermunt that wood go to hidn treasures-god and si- vur. If you handil anything like that let me kno bi retirn male. I kno lots of hidn treasurs and can't lokate them without an instermunt, and what kind of triul cood you let me have one on?"

 WILL HOLD MEETING

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
 WASHINGTON DOES NOT HAVE
BY WALTER HARPER

, welcome companion he will make some in. sulting remark and she is helpless to re- sent it. If the car is' only partly filled and there are one or more vacant seats a negro getting on will always look for a seat beside white woman if he can find it. Negroes will not sit with each other on the cars.
 Another feature that strikes the visitor as odd in this city of more than quar- ter of a million people and in this day of great strides in public conveniences is the absence of motor fire apparatus There is not one motor fire engine or other motor vehicle in the department un- less an automobile used by the chief is counted.
 And I have not seen one auto driven ambulance. Most of the ambulances you see driven about the streets are drawn by one horse and that horse is very often of inferior quality.
 Now, do not like to appear in the role of a critic. .-e4.,c l
 One day was called to task for making some critical remark about some sys. em or other by police official in the capitol building. He said, You should be careful about making disparaging- remarks about things you. find in Washington. You might offend people here who might some day be in position to favor you
 Perhaps it was disrespectful but I was compelled by instinct to ask this official who paid his salary who provided him with job, was it the city of Washing ton or was 1t the humble tax payers vl the United States who sometimes liked to come to Washington on a visit and llas some pride in seeing things run right when they came.
 He took my hand in an instant and ad- mitted that l had a perfect right to gay what pleased about Washington and its institutions. The people of these United States support Washington and it's institu- tions. In sense it belongs to the people. It is in no state of the union. It is set apart in district that belongs to the entire country and is governed by the representatives of the entire country. Practically every citizen in the city and district is supported directly or indirectly by the public purse to which every citi- zen of America contributes.
 But when I point out some of the public defects that exist it is not in the have right to know facts. With aiI its spirit of unkind criticism. The people attractive features Washington has its disadvantages just as every. other city or community in the land.

Washington, September 26.--(SpeciaD. - I was riding out F street, northwest, yes terday when in one of the most crowded sections of this busy retail thoroughfare to children in tn econfusion of cars. carriages, automobiles and pedestrians walked immediately in front of the rdo- torman of the car on which I was riding.
 The motorman went at his crank and chain brake like rat terrier shaking the life from a mouse.
 It happened that the children saw their danger and jumped clear just as the car sped on, finally stopping after 1t had pass ed more than its full length beyond where it would have crushed the children but for their agility.
 This is not the first incident of the kind I have witnessed in Washington but was peculiarly impressed with the made ouacy of the car equipment.
 spoke to the gentleman, stranger, sitting next to me, Are none of the cars in Washington equipped with air brakes?'
 "Only the interurbans,'' he replied.
 .It seems to me that the companies should be required to adopt such safety appliances I continued.
 Not in Washington" he replied indif- ferently but with some emphasis. "Therc is plenty of room in these streets for cars and pedestrians. There is no danger If pedestrians will look where they are going"
 "Ah, I beg your pardon,' replied has tily. 'It did not occur to me that I might have been addressing my remarks to one who is interested"
 While Birmingham may be deficient in some features of public utility and some conveniences that add to the. sum of human happiness 1t has some of these things that are not found in the national capitol. the city of the whole people.
 The safety air brake on street cars is one of these advantages. Another advan- tage that Is afforded by the Birmingham car service is separate accommodations of equal comfort for the two races. This is benefit to both races and can be more fully appreciated when the disgust ing system in Washington is seen
 Let me give you an instance. If there is only one passenger on Washington car and that is a white woman, a black. negro man getting on will most invariably get on the same seat with her and sit up as close to her as he can get. If the lady moves or attempts to evade her fun-

.SHENTzEN MURDER
 CASE BEING TRIED
Railroads Arrange to Han- dle Gadsden's Freight.
 New Jail

Gadsden, September 6.-(Special)-
 large number of witnesses came to the city this morning from the western part of the county to testify in the Shentzen
 murder case now being investigated by the grand jury. It will be recalled that Shentzen, who was Ia German miner. was killed one night a few months ago just when having made all preparations to depart for his native land. His mutilated
 body was found underneath his cabin. It is thought that the man was killed for
 his money as it was known that he had saved up enough to pay his way back to Europe where he had a wife and fam fly.
 Four men were arrested ..on suspicion of having a hand in the crime, but two
 of these were discharged. The other two are still being held in jail here and will be questioned by the grand jury It is also rumored that one or two others will
 be held for complicity in the crime. AS result of the tagging in the mer- ger project there is little activity in real estate in the city just now. although build ing operations are going right along. Sev eral new business houses are just being finished and in all parts of the city there are dwellings being erected. Tn a general
 way there is more building just now than
 for several years past, although this would be wonderfully stimulated should the
 merger suddenly be effected.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad company has made traffic arrangements with the Chattanooga Southern for moving freight between this city and Charta- nooga It is also said that men interested in the Louisville and Nashville are mak ing investments in Chattanooga and it is
 believed that the road will yet arrange to acquire the Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia property, or make some other ar | rangement for entering that city from the south. H. P Salter, general agent of the Louis vile and Nashville of this division who has been promoted to act as agent for
 the company at Nashville. 1t Is to be suc- | ceeded by L. G. Waldrop of the Nashville, Florence and Sheffield division of the road. The change will become effective on October 1. MT. Waldrop is grand prelate of the Knights of Pythids of
 Alabama and is well known throughout the state.
 W. H. F oster, who formerly conducted bakery in this city, will open new bak cry at Alabama City within few days.
 The ovens have been built and every thing is in readiness for operation. The new county jail will not be com pleted by the first of October, as was | intended because of some changes that will be made in the interior. About an other two weeks will be required
 to finish up. the job. Action has been
 started to enjoin the county from using the structure as jail because it is al- legged that such use will lower property values in the vicinity, but it is not ,, thought that this will keep the new prison from being occupied as soon as it is ready. The county will at most be re- | quired to make bond for damages that might result. ..-. s$k
