SCHEME IS TO MAKE FAMOUS BIRMINGHAM BOULEVARD A MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENE AT NIGHT

| Active efforts will be put forth th.s
 week. it is announced, to extend the
 great white way south along Twen-
 tieth street to Five Points, and from
 there along Highland avenue to tho
 Country club.
 | The plan for such an immense line oi
 white way lights has been looked into
 carefully by property owners and bus l,ness men interested and 1t is stated that nothing will be left undone which will help to make a success of the lproposition
 The citizens interested in the work linclude those merchants who made possible the twentieth street white way, working without ceasing until II had been secured.
 The statement is made by John l..
 Parker and others interested that the regulation white way lights such as are used on the business streets, will he nlaced to Five Points and from that point the smaller lights. or one-pillar e1obes. will be sent around Birming hams most picturesque and fashion abIA residence boulevard. .a Aside from the beauty of the scheme, once the lights are placed. it is held to he q matter of personal safety. It Is h.,d that at this time life Is endan- E,rared by walking along that avenue after dark. Frequent hold-ups have taken place, many citizens aver. while inc pettv snatching of pocketbooks from unprotected ladies is matter of no small moment, 1t is stated. The gentlemen interested in the prop osition will take up the white way scheme with the city. the property owners around the beautiful avenue and the officials of the company in Anniston, who make the pillars.

 Large oak trees familiar sights along the streets of Tuscaloosa, were twisted off by the storm and thrown across the street. The electric power house was wrecked. Candles and oil lamps are fur nishing all the lights to be had tonight. All factories dependent on electric motive power are out of commission.
 The plant of the Tuscaloosa News Is helpless and the editor Sam Claybaugh, states that he may be unable to get out a Sunday paper. Greatest confusion has been caused. Both the Postal and Vest era Union telegraph wires are down 10 the north. The only communication with Birmingham can be obtained by wiring Montgomery and relaylng tne message to Birmingham.
 Reports of the actual damage and Yerl- fication of the rumored casualties are anxiously awaited

NEW YORK HARRY IS VERY BLASE Famous Prisoner Discusses His Possible Fate in
 JOcular Terms

During the sensations which have been sprung during the last two or three months in developments of the tions, all interest has been seemingly lost in the New York Harry case It seems that nobody cares anything more about New York Harry or the charges against him.
 Harry is still in jail. Although ev- erything about the county jail is one continual hum of excitement since TeclI Duncan entered the portals of that in- stitution, Harry Is still on the job. By his irrepressibly good humor he has won a warm place for himself in the hearts of his fellow prisoners and his jailers.
 Harry has a ghastly knaclx of dis cussing his case. As Is the custom of others charged with such crimes as he the extreme punisnment is always spoken of with blanched faces and in whispers. But not so with MT. Rooney, alias MT. Petit, alias Mir. Dowd, and several others. To discuss what they will probably do with him is just as matter of fact to Harry as to eat his breakfast.
 A few days ago. while talking with someone about his case, he Is said to have made remark which many men will not make in their own cases. The man with whom he was discussing his case said:
 Well. Harry. what do you think of your caser nowG"1
 Well" said Harry for he's IristS "when l furrust kim over heere the noospaperss wuz all crying hang a whito man! hang white mani an 1t seems to me like Pm to be tn goat!"
 The same man asked him a few days after the above conversation:
 Harry. how goes the case now?"
 Well, bedad," he said as before, fit seems like they are going to top ne after all"

WISE SAYINGS OF cONFUCiUS

Some of the sayings OF ConfuciusJ
which are to the Chinese what the BIZ

Not to withdraw after making an
error is In itself an error.
Knowledge is when you know q
thing to hold that you know 1t; and
when you do not know a thing to al
low that you DO not know 1t. That
Is knowledge.
Sincerity is the end and beginning
OF things.
ITO see the right and not to do 1t ID
to be a coward.
-Four Of the marks of a superior
man are: In the conduct Of himself he
is humble; in serving his superiors he
Is respectful; in nourishing the people
he is kind; In ordering the people he
Is Just.
"The difference between the great
man and the ordinary man Is that tho
great man has a fair mind and seeA
all sides, and the common man has q
mind which is partisan and one-sided.

FOUGHT WITH RAILROAD TRAIN
Herd Of InfurIated Bulls Held Their
Own In Combat With Master
piece Of Man.

At a point on the railway line be-
tween Mirabel and Canaveral, on the
Spanish ride Of the boundary line be-
tween Spain and Portugal, there once
occurred an odd sort Of bullfght.
A train had Just come out on a
sweeping curve from the hills and
down upon a little plain when the en-
gineer saw directly before him a herd
of bulls on the tracks. The engineer
blew his whistle vigorously and all
the bulls fed, with the exception of
n great fellow, who made straight
for the train with horns lowered and
roaring defiance.
1t was too late to prevent a collision
and the bull was killed, but his car
cass, lying under the wheels of the
locomotive, prevented the train pro-
to clear the track. In the meantime
the great herd OF bulls, seeming the
blood Of their dead leader, came flock
ing back, paving and threatening. The
nearer they caLle the more Infatuated
they grew, and finally they charged
like q whirlwind on the little band OF
workers.
Then all the men abandoned their
task and took refuge in the cars. The
bulls followed them to the very steps,
believing and paving. Soldiers aboard
the train tried to stampede the ami
mails with stones. The bulls recoiled.
charged again, recoiled once more;
and for two hours the battle ragged,
victory now seeming to be with one
side and now with the other. At last
as night came Il, the bulls withdrew
and betook themselves to some dis
tant shelter. Then the employees and
passengers were able to set to work
again. The track was cleared and
the train proceeded on Its way.
A Vivid Picture.
OF all "~aptitudes," the mechanical
is least likely to manifest itself In a
feminine brain. The young woman
whose visit to a locomotive works is
described In Young's Magazine, was
doubtless interested in what she saw,
but her account Of the processes OBJ
served leaves the reader to doubt her
entire understanding Of them.
you pour" she told a friend, "a lot
of sand into a lot Of boxes, and you
throw old stove lids and things into
a furnace, and then you turn the red
hot stream into a hole in tho sand, and
everybody yells and shouts.
Then o pour 1t out, let 1t cool
and pound it, and then you put in it
a thing that bores holes In 1t. Then
you screw 1t together, and paint 1t,
and put steam in It, and it goes splen-
didly, and they take it to a drafting
room and make a blueprint Of 1t.
But one thing l forgot-They have
to make a boiler. One mar gets in
side and one gets outside, and they
pound frightfully, and then they tie it
to the other thing, and you ought to
see 1t go!"-Youth's Companion.

ROUGH MANNERS OF THE PAST
Drinking Trick In Which English Mon
arch Fi0ured-The First Fin
oerlo-s Gloves.

Drinking tricks figured in diplomacy
in the time of Henry VIII. Mrs. Henry
Gust quotes the kings challenge to
Hubertus, the representative Of the
Palsgrave Frederick. He sent for two
huge goblets, filled with wine and beer
respectively, and gave the envoy his
choice for a drinking out" test. In
vain Hubertus pleaded that his master
had actually instituted a company Of
the Golden Ring to put down such con-
tests, any member who broke the pro-
hibition to lose his ring and give 81
to the poor. Henry, anxious to prove
that the Engl1shman was the better
man, promised to find the f~orfeits HIM
self and drank his beer at a draft
while it took the German four gulps
to account for the wine.
How early did mankind think of the
convenience of the fngerless glover
Little was said of gloves in ancient
times, but In most cases 1t Is obvious
that they had fingers. Those worn by
the secretary of the younger Pliny,
used when he visited Vesuvius, 80
that he might keep on jotting down
notes in spite OF the cold, must have
been fingered, no less than those Of
the glutton in Anthenaeus, who wore
gloves at table so that he might ham
die the meat while hot and get in adj
vance of his bare handed fellow din
erg.
