LEFT HIND WHEEL OF A ONE HORSE DRAY

Twas not the old one horse shay that a deacon or somebody started in to the precinct convention, nor was 1t the horse that a fellow named Revere rode through the country once, waking up everybody in the neighborhood and tell ling that there was something coming It was merely the left hind wheel of one horse dray.
 Chief of Police George H. Bodeker yesterday received a letter from man in Birmingham. The letter was a spe- eial delivery letter, and was also reg istered Besides this, it was marked in the lower left hand corner of the envelope "Personal." The letter was signed for at the desk by Desk Sergeant Weaver. He saw the letter and perhaps divined the serious nature of the epistlc on the inside.
 He seized from a desk drawer his trusty 3S Colts police positive and flash light and advanced with the letter to the office of the chief. The chief was sitting at his desk reading over Ethylle Van Guzzle's latest treatise on How to Catch Burglar when the sergeant approached. The latter wor- thy entered the office, pistol in hand, looking furtively from one side to the other. Someone might be near. Sneak

was purchased by the bar association, who not only secured fine collection of law books, but liberal lease on their present quarters as well. The law library was removed from the courthouse last fall to it's present loca- tion.
 The Birmingham Bar associations I- brary ranks next in size and impor- tance to that of the supreme court of Alabama. There are over 6000 volumes of digests. encyclopedias and text books.
 fine annual dues are SEQ but by a provision in the constitution an exemp- tion is made in favor of the junior mem- bers of the legal profession whereby the annual dues for lawyers of ona years license pay $5, two years license $10. three years license $15 and there- after S20.
 There is present membership of over 100 with a prospect of 40 or 50 additions.
 The law library has proven a great boon to the legal profession, especially the younger element, and while the present quarters are somewhat incon- venient to the courthouse, it has the advantage of being secluded, clean and well lighted and almost perfect in it's arrangement.
 When the new courthouse is built, which, in the opinion, of many off cers,s lawyers and laynlen who under stand present conditions at the court house, must he soon, it is expected that provision will be made to accommodate the law library for the ready access to legal authorities greatly facilitates the administration of the law.

At the completion of the present court house of Jefferson county in 1887 the H. brary was moved into the new building, and the nucleus of the splendid library the association now owns was started.
 On February IS. 1891, by an amended act of the legislature, the Bar associa- tion received a charter from the state of Alabama.
 Of the 19 charter members but few re- main. Death has exacted a heavy toll, and Il names, that had become widely known to bench and bar, have been stricken from the roll. Two have moved to distant states. Those who still live in the city are Oscar W. Underwood, B. M. Allen, John P Tillman, M. J. Gregg, J. T. Fowl<es and ]. J. Garrett.
 Among those who have served in the capacity of librarian are J. S. Cole, now a ham; Captain Tom Lea of East Lake, in the United States army, and the pres ent incumbent, F. I. Monks.
 Since the organization of the Bar as- soeiation 27 years ago, there have been only four presidents. namely, John F. rillman, ]. ". Tomlinson, John London and A. C. Howze.
 Among those who served as secretary were oscar w. Underwood Lee c. Brad ley L. J. Haley and F. L Monks.
 The present law library Is located on the top floor of the First National Bank building on Twentieth street and Sec ond avenue It was formerly the Wood ward law library, instituted by the late W. H.

 There were several attractive women in the company who d1d not nave great many opportunities to show what they could do, among them Violet McMillan and Grace King. Both are dainty and graceful, with enough personal charm to make them interesting for something more than their clothes
 Maurice Brerre did about as well as could be expected as James Armstrong of Pittsburg and William Edmunds as Cobosso was responsible for some rather amusing comedy of the Anglo-ltalian va rety, which was also subject to the be- aforementioned fits of depression. The person or persons responsible for the book" of The Sweetest Girl in Paris ought to be prosecuted for finn fiamming an expectant public. For the most part it Is dreary stuff and when the star was not on the stage the action dragged in a way to provoke yawns.

In the spring of the year 1885, when the courts of Jefferson county held their ses- sions in the Hood building, corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street, a number of lawyers met together in the office of John P. Tillman and discussed the advsability of forming a bar associa- ton and the establishment of a law H. brary.
 At that meeting a committee was ap- pointed to formulate suitable plans by which the movement could be started. This resulted in the incorporation on April 15, 1885, of the Birmingham Bar association with the following charter members: c. w. Hewitt, w. A. Walker, R. II. Pearson. E. J. Taliaferro, J. T.. Terry, J. J. Garrett, R. H. Sterrett, E. L. Clarkson, D. D. smith, R. J. Lowe. c, A. Mountioy. J. w. Tomlinson, w. M. Bethea, M. J. Gregg, B. M. Allen. J. T. FowllSes, John Vary, O. W. Underwood and John P. Tillman.
 The officers were elected as follows: John P. Tillman, president; R. H. Pear son, vice president; oscar w. Underwood secretary and treasurer.
 The purpose of the organization was the social and literary advancement of it's members and the establishment of law library The association passed through all the necissitudes of those early days, yet grew yearly into greater prom thence, numbering among it's membership many of the greatest legal lights of the city and state.

 tions and a body of Harvard students during an IS hour visit here today.
 The principal address was made be- fore the Boston Real Estate Exchange and Auction board, but he also ap- peared before the City club. which Is composed of business men of all shades of political parties.
 Incidentally Governor Wilson called upon Governor Foss at the state house but nothing of political interest de- veloped from that interview.
 Newspaper men way laid him with questions as to various phases of the Watterson- Harvey -Tillman-Wilson cpl sode.
 Declines to Comment
 The governor merely replied that he had no comment to make at present, and Colonel Watterson's suggestion or a court of gentlemen in connection with the controversy over the alleged rais- ing of campaign funds passed without notice by him publicly.
 At the City club Richard Olney, for mer Secretary of State, introduced the New Jersey governor, Not as high official nor as a candidate, nor as democrat, but as the type of man in whom lies the best hope for the coun- try's future.
 Il may add that he has a capacity for Ill6 lfulil Niltil lS iioA diNoS ec the advantage or satisfaction of those who ask for it,, concluded Mr. Olney.
 Governor Wilson made plea for more strongly representative government.
 "The present movement he said "is not an attack on representative govern ment The trouble is that in some states they have not got if. We did not have it in New Jersey IS month ago, and l could in private, in moment or two, name the man who owned New Jersey, But we have restored representative government there as the people are bound to do every where"
 His address before the Harvard students was along similar lines.
 At the Boston Real Estate exchange dinner tonight the guests besides Gov ernor Wilson included lobe Hedges of New York, Governor Toss and Mayor Fitzgerald.
 Governor Wilson will remain tonight in Boston and early tomorrow will go to Providence for a conference with lead ing democrats, leaving for his home in Trenton tomorrow afternoon.
