Congress Fastening to the End

congress HaSten1ng 10 the scnu
 Congress is rapidly disposing of the more important business before it. Conference committees have agreed to favor a single battleship instead of two, and an agreement has been reached in regard to the Panama ca nal bill.
 The latter is really the most impor- tant. subject before Congress. The agreement reached embraces all that either hoise had adopted except that American ships engaged in foreign trade cannot pass through the canal without paying tolls. This is con- cession to the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, and it will doubtless prove acceptable to England. Free passage is to be confined to vessels engaged in coast wise trade, and these must, according to present laws, be American owned and registered. The agreement reached will prove satisfactory to the country. All railroad ships are barred, and the interstate commission is given broad powers for the protection of consumers.
 The wool and the steel tariffs were vetoed by the President and both were passed over the vetoes in the House. The Senate probably will not pass the bills over the vetoes, but the two bills will at any rate make plain the difference between high protection and a tariff for revenue only. The people in November will decide the issue.
 The industries of this country are no longer infants" They have had the benefit of high duties ever since the war, and the consumer can no longer stand the strain which their greed inflicts. The time has fully come to reduce duties to revenue basis. Mr. Underwood is fully sup ported in this matter by the standard bearer of the democratic party, who believes that the development of the country is tied up in the issue. He proposes to discuss on the stump the advantages of a revenue tariff.

Apnrec,at,ou of Good Music

"Persons who take an interest in musi- cal art, and who give their time and money to promote the cause of good music, are often discouraged at the ap- parent lack of interest on the part of the general public, but looking this coun- try over, one section is about the same as another from a musical point of view said a member of the musical sets
 Boston. which used to be considered the intellectual hub of this country, has for some time been a recognized musical center, but I am quite familiar with Bos- ton conditions, and it is safe to say that the percentage of Boston people who never heard symphony is just as large as the percentage ip Atlanta.

 Business has kept me in Memphis the greater part of the last 12 months. I had heard that Memphis was ahead of other southern cities in it's appreciation of music, but one of tine greatest tenors in the world, who was engaged for. re- cital in Memphis, declined to sing because so few persons came to hear him.

From the New York World
 Recently the mother of little Samuel Annis, PIE years old, of 3oS Rivington street, took him to Hamilton Fish park. There sitting upon a bench, she told him tales Of her Hungarian fatherland. As he listened, wild eyed, settlement worker who was passing noticed the rapt expression upon the childs wan counte- narce and pausing for moment,- Bave him one of the flowers she was carrying.
 It was merely a geranium, unpoetic, poor in associations and in perfume. It was ecstacy to the child. He could bare- ly wait until he reached home that he might show it to his father. When he was tucked in for the night he wanted the blososm to sleep with him, but they explained that unless it were put in water the petals would lose their pretty red col or and slowly wither
 He was up bright and early to see how his precious blossom had passed the night. It blooined freshly in the morning ssln, and, peering through the window to the sill upon which it rested, the boy stared and stared, and dreamed. His mother told him not to touch it for the present, and he obeyed her as long as he could. But desire conquered at last and while his mother was in another room, Samuel dragged a chair to the window and began to climb up.
 He slipped several times but his feet finally rested upon the seat and his eyes were just level with his flowers. Then, straining and showing, the window was raised and, pulling himself upon the sill, he leaned out and cupped the glass in his hands. Further and further out he leaned, his face buried in the blossom, tnd his small chest heaXing in the att tempt to inhale it's fragrance.
 And then the chair slipped, the small body hurtled through the air, one hand claaping the glass, and fell among group of children on the pavement five stories below. More slowly the pale, red flower drifted downward and fell lightly nessby Patrolman Scott picked up the limp body and summoned an ambulance from Gouveneur hospital.

As a result of the weakening influences of hookworm infection the industrial classes are having their vital resistance lowered so that they more easily fall prey to infectious diseases, sucb as pneu- monia and particularly tuberculosis.

CHANGE TO WIN s25,ooo

From the London Express.
 Five thousand pounds await the student who will prove certain propo- sition proposed by the French mathe- matician Fermat about 250 years ago. This prize was offered about five years since, and Is to remain open to all corners for a century.
 Prof. G. A Miller. who tells of it in a recent address on Modern Mathe- matical Research" fears that such a large inducement may set all sorts of mediocre mathematicians to wasting their time
 The proposition to be proved is that squares is itself a power of the same degree. Sums of squares are often squares; for instance. the square of 3 is g and that of to 16. Add Is and 9 and have 25, which is the square of ,. But this has never been found to be true for cubes of fourth powers, or any powers above ?, and Fermat as serted that no such cases would or could ever be found.
 He proved it, too--at least he said he had done so-but his proof is lost and no one has ever recovered 1t or discovered another although partial proofs have been found for definite powers--for instance, for those that are multiples of 3, 4. 5, and of certain prime numbers. Some of the world s greatest mathematicians have been working on this problem for centuries.

Beautiful Residence Sections

A few years ago Highland avenue was the only residence boulevard that visitors saw. Strangers have always spoken of that avenue with great ad- miration, but Birmingham has been expanding steadily, and elegant homes and landscape effects are no longer confined to any one section.
 Within the past twelve months a great deal of high class development work has been in progress. Today we have beautiful driveways leading up Shades mountain westward of the city, and an enchanting driveway-Alta- mont road-on the top of Red moun- tain above Mountain Terrace, within the city limits. From Altamont road one has a magnificent view of Bir- mingham, and looking southward through one of the gaps, mountain scenery as lovely as anything in Ala bama greets the eye.
 On the opposite side of Birming- ham, Norwood has come to be known as a show" section. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been ex- pended there recently, and the Nor wood boulevard leading to the Pinson road, nearly completed, is one of the most attractive driveways in the Bir- mingham district. The time is soon coming when as many visitors will see Norwood as see the South High lands.
 Some day, not in the distant future, Twenty street will be opened as a cross town pleasure driveway, and with the broad development of park system, Birmingham will be- come as famous the country over for it's. beauty as it is now for its iron and steel.

A DEsPOTIC RULER

A. J. c. Hare in studies in Russia"
 Endless are the stories which are told of Emperor Paul's u797-1S0D violence and eccentricities. One of his fancies was that everyone he met, wherever he met them, must get out of their carriages and sledges, stand in the mud or on the ice and make him bow. This was, of course, con- sidered the greatest bore possible. One day There was a poor dancing master who was going to give some lessons, and he had nothing but pair of very thin shoes on. He was deadfully afraid of encountering the emperor for it was the depth of winter, and the and he thought if he did his feet would certainly be frostbitten. As he went along he saw to- his horror that the emperor was coming there was no way of turning aside he must meet him. He determined at once that the only way was to pretend not to see the emperor, and to turn the other way. Paul was not to bo outwitted. He stopped at once and sent one of his escort to see WHY the uah0ihS hias'oi had not obeyed his orders. The poor man pleaded not having seen the em- peror and inrployed not to be forceo to get out on account of his thin shoes The emperor would not hear of it. Let him walk round and round my sledge he said, and see If that will amuse hIm, and since he is too blind to see me, tell him that l desire for the future that he will always, at all times, wear green shades over his aVcsn

succe.sful Book Agents

T have a large and valuable library, and about 50 per cent of my books were purchased through book agents. said an elderly man of student habits.
 When I was a boy I often heard book agents spoken of as the personifcation of cheek or audacity, and in later years the book agent has been often carieatured and made the butt of jokes. Some nnap- preciative ill-disposed persons have even tried to hold the book man up to scorn. My experience is that the book agent Is not<only pursuing an honorable calling, but that, as a rule, he is intelligent and agreeable. It is very seldom that I, re- ceive visit from a book agent who is boresome These men are good takers, as matter of course. and they are often entertaining.
 During the past 10 years I have pur- chased nearly s1OO worth of books from P. F. Collier. & Sons, and I am now paying on a beautiful set of Shakespeare, which [ signed for recently. The collectors of irst-class publishing houses are always polite.
