Cardinals Jewels Stolen

Ills eminence, Cardinal Negl, has
Just been made the victim of daring
theft. The police are hunting high
and low for the culprits.
The cardinal is very fond of the open
and every afternoon he drives to some
part OF the environs of Vienna. Two
Wen dressed men, evidently familiar
with the distinguished prelates habits
called at the palace few days ago
lust after the cardinal had driven away.
They were admitted on presentation of
their cards and the remark that as
their business was somewhat urgent
they would await his eminence's return.
How or when they left is not known.
But as soon as the cardinal returned
and went to his study he found it in a
terrible state of disorder search
proved that the visitors had gone off
with the Jewels valued at $4,000. In
the drawer where the jewels were kept
was penciled note saying: "A priest
does not need Jewels; Christ had none
The anair-rparticularly the insulting
note-nas aroused much Indignation.

Maxwell Suggested Name
OF Birmingham To Powell
BY JIM NUNNELEE

at big bargeeue and picnic near Elyton.
He was called on to make a speech and
did so, to the enjoyment of his hearers.
Being familiar with Birmingham, Eng
land, he proceeded to describe the advan-
tages of Jones valley. He alluded to the
fact that the coal, iron ore and lime rock
were in close proximity to each other and
that 1t would be easy to make iron in
the environ of Birmingham cheaper than
1t could be done in England, and alluded
to the fact that a second Birmingham
could be established right on the spot.
Colonel Powell, the original founder of
Birmingham, was so impressed with the
idea that he jumped to his feet applaud
ing and said that they were laying off a
city and that its name should be Bir-
mingham. Not many people know it, but
that is the way that the Magic City was
baptized and named and the great old
merchant prince of Tuscaloosa had the
honor of suggesting the name to Colonel
Powell.

0NHE name of the great and growing
city of Birmingham is known not
= only all over this continent, but
throughout the world. Few people, how
ever know why 1t was named after the
great iron manufacturing city of that
name in England.
Many years ago the Maxwell brothers
moved over to this country from Eng
land, settling in Northport and Tusca-
loosa. They were all merchants and ae-
cumulated fortunes. The Maxwells today
are among the most prominent and
wealthy citizens of Tuscaloosa
Mr.. Thomas Maxwell settled In the City
of Oaks and carried on a mercantile bus
mess up to the day of his death. He was
man of considerable literary talent and
could express his ideas in splendid En-
glish when on his feet before an audi

 It is understood that the payment of 1 taxes has been very slow for the past few days and unless delinquent ones call at the Town hall today or tomor- row they will not have the benefit of the rive per cent. discount. After this month interest will be charged at the rate of twelve per cent. per annum. There are several hundred of the towns taxpayers who have yet to square up.
 That little interest is shown by the members of the Westerly Yacht club which was organized two years ago and which at the time had prospects of being one of the towns best social organizations, is evidenced by the fact that nothing has been done to pro- mote the interest of the club for the past year. Some of the more en- thuslastic members say that they would like to pay their annual dues that they might be added to the funds already in the treasury, with the view Of purchasing a suitable site for clubhouse at some future time. When the club first started a state charter was secured, officers were elected, and an occasional meeting held but fur ther than furnishing a Fourth for the toWnspeOple by having a most elaho- rate display of pyrotechnics along the river frone during the first summer little activity has bee1 shown.
