i In excavating for the foundation of the Tutwiler hotel on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street, 1t was neces- sary to excavate deeper in one of the corners of the site where will be located the engine house of the hotel. While digging this additional depth the work men uncovered a spring of water that is almost ice cold and gushes forth in large quantities. However, much free water may be desired in Birmingham, the spring is a nuisance to the contrac- tors engaged in digging the foundations and it neeessitates the use of a pump to keep the deeper foundation clear Of the water.
 The discovery of the spring and it's clear, cold water caused considerable com ment and considerably excited an old negro aunty that lives in the alley close ,bT. She sampled the flowing spring, and like most old darkies of the antebellun period, would not admit it's superiority.

HADLEY HAS YET NO REPLY
Taft Fails to Answer Ulti- matum of the Missouri
 State Committee

St Louis, September 29.-No word from President Taft came last night or today in reply to Governor Had ley's ultimatum to the state republican committee yesterday as to terms on which he would support the President. This was announced tonight by Col. Otto F. Stifel, member of the advisory committee of the republican national committee, who said he had wired President Taft last night the text of Governor Hadley's ultimatum and had failed to hear from the President. He also said he sent the President a tele- gram today saying no immediate reply was necessary.
 Colonel Stifel, explaining this action in a statement, declared he had in- formed the President that he consid- cred "Hadley's speech last night at the opening of the state republican cam piagn as an indorsement of Taft and promise to support him."
 Governor Hadleys ultimatum was that he would support President Taft for reelection only on condition that the President would at once declare himself for presidential preference pri- maries and non boss controlled dele gations from southern states to na- tional conventions in order to prevent recurrence of the charges of fraud such as arose in the last republican na- tional convention.
 Beverly Mass. September 29-Pres- ident Taft heard toaay from Otto F. Stifel, Taft leader in St. Louis, that Governor Hadley of Missouri was now committed to the Taft candidacy. The President had been informed late last night by telephone and telegraph that Governor Hadley had refused to in- dorse his candidacy unless the Presi- dent came out in favor of presidential preference primaries and "unbossed' southern representation in republican conventions. The President refused to discuss these questions over the tele- phone with MT Stifel and had nothing g to say tonight about Governor Hadley's g attitude,

Peculiarity in Maternal Feeling

There is a peculiarity in the ma ternal feeling, that no man, who feels himself identified with the interests of the human race can observe without himself feeling the deepest interest. There is something in mothers love that cannot have been unintended; there must be some reason for that peculiar delicacy and tenderness-there is a tenderness of tone which we can not initiate: there is meaning in the fact that the musical scale of a moth er's voice is pitched differently from ours It is one of Gods great instru- ments fitting her to reach man in those periods of his existence, when every thing is tender in his body and in his soul.
 This peculiar affinity between the feel ings of a mother and her child does not exist in kind or degree between the father and the child. indicating peculiarity in the duty and in the responsibility. l will say in passing, however that perhaps there will be extravagant and exaggerated views as to duties of mothers. and fathers may forget their peculiar station-for theirs is one of great importance and of equal responsibility different only in kind. I would not encourage any exaggerated view; I would not roll more burdens upon the tender sex, than God has placed there, but my duty today leads me to say spe- cial stress on maternal duties
 There is something in the entire help essness and dependence of human nature there is something in the initiative prop ensities of chldren--there is something in that perfect confidence that characterizes children, which fits them to come so fully. so entirely under the kind and powerful influence of the enlightened and sancti- fled maternal heart. and the noblest ob- ject-God's grandest work and earth's greatest Ruler that ever sat upon throne is a Christian mother moulding human nature in the first stages of it's earthly and immortal existence"

Want Right to Vote

Women fret themselves and others for the right to vote and they do not see that their sons vote, their brothers their friends, is verify their own. They cry out against certain social evils. and they forget that the ranks are ever recruited from among the daughters of vanity, nn- control and idleness. If the wife and mother cannot vote their husbands and sons, will it help matters to go vcte against them? "A home divided against itself cannot stand Any extra discord in the home will likely be more harmful than good Woman's influence is already felt in every department of the nation and should be more and more But in all well regulated homes wife and hus- band will vote alike on all moral quesr lions. and one. it seems. would be snftiT cient to carry their vote in, while the other is keeper at home The harmony of the home is more important than whether Jones or Smith is justice of the peace.
