Many Times Held Up.

On the famous Geiger grade, about
four miles from Virginia city. Billy
faced the rifles OF six bandits, and
the treasure box was dynamited, the
robbers carrying away more than
$4,000 Again he was stopped near
Virginia City This was in 1855. and
in Six-Mile canyon below the Could
and Curry mill The team was forced
to stop, owing to a barricade of old
sluice boxes which the bandits had
placed across the road. The five des-
peradoes robbed all the passengers
save one, a pretty schoolma'am.
BY the beginning Of 1884 he had
saved up considerable money and de-
cided TO quit the highway He had
made money on the side by taking or
ders from ranchers, as did his associ-
ate drivers Frequently. he said, his
hat was filled with memoranda, en-
bracing orders from a case Of rum to
piece of blue ribbon
simultaneously with his quitting the
road he bought the Mount Hamilton
stage line running from San Jose
to the mountain. Not long after this
he was commissioned to haul the great
36-inch lens to the observatory The
wagon was especially built for the trip
and the delicate glass was placed in an
oaken casket. the whole thing weigh
ing 500 pounds. Later, upon the re-
moval Of the body Of James Lick from
the vault in San Francisco. he hauled
the coffin up 10 Mount Hamilton. and
was present when the body was sealed
IN the sarcophagus beneath the i'm
mense telescope.

this was the first romance Of his life.
This thing of helping girls to marry
other fellows seemed to give him bad
taste in his mouth.
Hodges came to California in 1858,
continuing his profession as a stage
driver, and in time was given the fa-
nous Placerville road, running from
Sacramento through Placerville to Vir-
ginia City. New On this road he
drove the mail and express coaches.
and on many of the trips carried treas
ure amounting to 100000 AS a re-
suit he was made the victim of half
dozen of the greatest holdups in the
history Of the Pacific coast.
The plan Of the robbers invariably
was to kill the nigh horse and then
prevent an escape. If they failed to
do this Hodges would sweep his long
lash across the backs Of his beasts
and be of in a cloud of dust, leaving
the dumfounded robbers gazing blank
ly at each other. For this reason he
was valuable as driver. When they
have you" he explained, pull UP and
take 1t easy; but if they leave you
an opening, then make for It'll"
One day on the Bodie ROAD in Ne
vada between Bodie and Carson. the
treasure box was laden and the coach
well filed with passengers. There were
guards outside and in, and a daring
gun messenger was perched on the
box beside the driver The strong de-
fense gave the passengers a sense Of
security, and one of them, a woman,
started to while away the hours by
singing. Romance was in the air. The
carolling of the girl awoke response
in the nerves of the guards and their
guns lay negligently upon their knees.
Suddenly the concert was brought to
an abrupt halt by the resounding re-
port of a slug-loaded shotgun. Down
went the nigh leader The other horses
plunged and the shock nearly unseated
driver and messenger. Even the high
waymen were astonished at the in
stant result Of the shot and hesitated
for a fraction of a minute, and In that
time the messenger fired. One Of the
robbers prying at the lock of the treas
ure box dropped. while the other took
to the brush.

A. l.. Hart of the Manchester (Eng- land) Guardian is in Birmingham to arouse interest in the direct exporta- tion of cotton to Manchester instead of having the vessels stop at Liverpool and thus forcing the spinners of Lan- cashire to bring the staple the rest of the way by rail.
 MT. Hart is very enthusiastic over the practicabilty of the plan and says he is meeting with great encouragement in all of the cities he has visited.
 Here is the situation in nutshell," said Mir Hart. Manchester has built a ship canal at a cost of $500. 1000, 900 which will accommodate any vessel of 30 foot draught. This means that any cotton carrying vessel can come direct to Manchester. Surrounding Manches- ter in square with 30 mile sides are moro than 2000 cotton mills. In other words, there is an average of more than two mills to the square mile in this area. An agent making Manchester his headquarters can reach any spinner in less than an hour and most in less than half an hour.
 Why is it not therefore most practi- cal for the American exporter to have

MERCY HOME ASKS AID FOR CHILDREN Regular Thanksgiving Ap- peal Made to People of
 Birmingham

The annual Thanksgiving appeal issued by the president of the board of man. agers of the Mercy Home. Mrs. c. B. Spencer, was made public yesterday and is as follows:
 tOnce a year. on Thanksgiving, the home holiday, the Mercy Home appeals to the people of Birmingham to remem- Der the friendless, dependent child.
 "The Home has met the demands that have come with the years and aside from the small monthly appropriation of the city and county this has been done by voluntary. personal contributions.
 'The cost of living has Increased as the family has increased, and today, with 90 children to be cared for the treasury is practically empty-not enough money to pay the current expenses. Besides this, it has debt of $5oO0, the cost of neces- sary addition to the building, wing 65 feet long, containing new kitchen, dn- ing room, laundry, dormitory and play room.
 Tn brief, the situation is this: Ninety children to be cared for at monthly cost of about $350, or less than $4 per capita.
 Monthly expenses: Salaries, $15O gro- ceries. $1O0 milk, $50; meat, s15; bread, $12 extras, $40
 In addition to this there are drugs, light. fuel, clothing. repairs, etc. h. debtedness on new building, S500O.
 The Mercy Home belongs to Birming- ham. It is your servant, caring for your waifs, the helpless and unfortunates of your prosperous, beautiful city.
 What will you do for it this Thanks giving season? How shall it go on with the work started in the little Birmingham of 20 years ago?
 We trust to your confidence, your love of humanity, your generosity, and we promise unstinted service for the little children.
 THE BOARD OF MANAGERS

his agents In Manchester to deal di- rectly with the spinner instead of hav- ing to deal through the brokers and other middle men In Liverpool?
 When the situation Is called to the attention of the American cotton men they at once appreciate it's impor- tance. I have just come from the important cotton centers of Georgia and so impressed were the big exporters that number of them have already sept agents to Manchester and will open offices there at once and arrange to ship their cotton direct to Manches- ter without stopping at Liverpool.
 We know our claims are just, be- cause nearly every bale of the 4.000,- 900 year that America sends to Eng land goes to the spinning mills located within the 30 mile square surrounding Manchester Manchester itself has 101 mills, Oldham, near by, has ITS, and in fact they are all located so advan- tageously to Manchester that our city with it's 600,00O population is the logi- cal distributing point. Americans recog- nize this very quickly when they are shown the true situation"
 MT. Hart will remain in Birming- ham until Tuesday.

 Mir. Weatherly Speaks
 As to his position, Commissioner Weath- erly said:
 proposition is interesting. If you will bear with me for moment I will tell it to you. The original resolution. which was demand, was put before this body on the part of the citizens of Ensley, as I recall, by Commissioner Lane. The res olution, which was demand, did not ask for any transfers on these lines in ques- tion to other lines, but simpIy ordered the company to make certain reduction ar rangements. That resolution was changed to a request when it was called to the Ol have the slightest power to regulate the rates charged by this company.
 At that point the matter died, as 1t will be recalled the company declined 10 enter into the proposition. l attempted to resurrect the corpse and these offers resulted. We have secured not only Q cent fare, but a reduced lighting bill for the city-your city-and reduced amount of payments you-the citizens--are to make for your electric lights. Only a day or so ago the transfer proposition from Ensley was requested and much to my surprise the company acquiesced in that request. The whole matter now Is. whether the entire citizenship of Birmingham shall be refused these reductions or not. on account of Wylam's being left out. did not attempt to keep Wylam out. On the contrary, earnest, sincere. honest efforts were made to get Wylam into this ana what we put forth is represented here be- fore yol
 'There have been mutterings here of a referendum. If that comes I shall not oppose 1t. If the people do not want this ordinance and these reductions, I know that it should not be crammed down their throats and I will not be a party 70 such cramming. It Is simply a ques- tion of this proposition being here and you may take it, refuse or kick 1t as you see fit
 Tn this connection I ask you, Who Is tere from North Birmingham to say what the people there think of this general proposition? Who Is there here to tell us whether East Lake wants 1t or not? Who is here from the north boundary cf Birmingham to the south boundary to tell us whether the people in those sections want 1t or not? This matter
