"DANlAGED GOODS.

We have received an anonymous conf

We, too, object to these announcements,

University Free pispensarx

There's nothing that Birmingham
cannot accomplish if it wants to. Pub
lie spirit here at times has been leth.
argie, but at other times it has burst
forth with energy and done wonders
A notable instance occurred during
the campaign for funds to erect a
creditable Young Mems Christian as
sociation building and extend badly
needed assistance to the Young Wom-
ems Christian association. That cam
paign was grand success, and every
body felt a thrill of pride that it
was SO.
Plans are about to be formulated
for raising a fund of $125,000 with
which to erect free dispensary build
ing at the University graduate school
OF medicine. The people will be asked
to give, and they should do so freely.
No charity is more intelligent and
more deep-reaching than that of a
free dispensary. It ministers to those
who suffer physically, therefore men,
tally, and in alleviating pain of body
it alleviates pain of mind. The sick
are made well, that they may work
and earn for themselves that which
they can obtain only through charity
as long as their ills are not cured.
A campaign will be carefully
mapped out, and then the teams will
go to work with confidence that
comes from the fact that this is the
best city in the land, and one whose
heart is easily touched by appeals for
causes that are worthy. Birmingham
will honor itself by quickly providing
the amount of money asked.

lines hemmed in with wooden railings SO
that the ice blocks shall not slip away
and be lost. Some of these slipways have
to be carried round corners and in order
to minimize the risk of blocks running off
the line a series of very primitive brakes
has been devised. AT one point a long
plank will be suspended over the track
in such a way that its center. bending
by its own weight nearly touches the
rail- The ice block passes under the
plank and its speed is checked consid-
erably when it reaches the center of the
plank, but it is not stopped entirely. and
1t goes on its journey at much slower
speed. In spite of the use of these
brakes, however. the end of the journey
IS generally reached very quickly, and
means have to be devised for stopping
the blocks at convenient places. One
plan is to put some icnlined planks at
the end of the slip way and rough and
ready kind of buffer" made of trunk
of tree, at the top of the planks. The
ice blocks come rushing down the slip
way and up the planks. A man standing
at this point prevents the blocks from
slipping back onto the line and thus get
ting in the way of the on-coming train.
He then guides the ice blocks to a place
OF safety from which they are passed on
to the store house by the mere act of
pushing them there

Governor Glynn

Misapprehension prevails IN the
minds of many regarding Martin H.
Clynn, governor of New York. Will
liam Sulzer was impeached and con-
victed by a Tammany legislature, and
his removal from office made Glynn
governor. Those who believe that the
new executive is or will be tool of
Charles F. Murphy do not know the
man.
Governor Glynn a night or so ago
rendered banquet to the democratic
editors Of "up state" He told the
newspaper men he wanted them to be
his Kitchen cabinet" They are closer
to the people than are persons of most
If he other professions, and as rule
they have the best interests Of their
state at heart. Mr.. Glynn himself is a
successful newspaper publisher and
editor, and he knows the calibre of
those who go TO make up the tourtn
estate.
Circumstances, the governor told
his guests, are such that he does
not think it possible for him to sue
ceed himself. 81 want to send you
home with one thought in your
minds" he continued; "that is that l
a mgoing to be the best governor that
every drop of blood in my veins and
every atom Of brains in my head will
allow me to be"
Martin II. Glynn has a record for
uprightness, fearlessness and sinceri-
ty. He will try to maintain that
record.

Is, perhaps, something of Manchester In

the invalabue quality of decision. And

finely than in her handling (from her

out the Suffragette when printer after

Inferior to her mother as an orator. de-

That the government would risk an in

SuLZER,S LAST NORn

George Henry Payne, in the November
Metropolitan.
In the two interviews that the governor
and the boss had earlier in the year,
Murphy was openly brutal. At the last
one. the night that Sulzer and Mccall
went to Murphys house, the Tammany
leader was in a particularly vicious mood
and taunted the governor with discarding
the organization by which he had
climbed into power.
I'm going to be another Dix" said
the governor.
'Oh, you're better than Dix, are you."
answered Murphy, with sneer that car
ried a -Dix-finished- hs-term- out
threat.
Come on, judge" said Sulzer to Mccall.
II guess we've both had enough of this, -
and when the door closed on them Sui
zer's fate in the mind of the boss was
settled
The governors private explanation to
his friends for delaying his direct attack
on Murphy was that he wanted to ac-
possible. 1t is true that he did succeed
in many things, but the tragedy in his
delay was that during the time he was
preparing for his warfare on Murphy the
Tammany boss succeeded in winning over
not only Sulzers own friends, but init
mate personal and political advisers whom
he had just appointed to office.

table Its more than half full of names
of actors and actresses, and good, capa-
BILE ones, too, who are looking for work.
And then people wonder If one isn't keen
on giving their sons or daughter a start
on the stagel There is no profession In
the world so overcrowded as that of the
stage and none so difficult to succeed at.
1t may be real talent or it may be large

TIE RAIN JIL-JU

P. A. Talbot in the Wide World Maga-
zine
When a farm in the bush" districts of
West Africa has been prepared for SOW
ing, the owner cannot plant yams until
some rain has fallen, so he goes to the
priest of the great rain ju-ju and asks
him to make the rain fall. Members of
a cult called Ekuri Ibokk have special
power in this direction. At the time Of
the new moon they go forth into the bush
and gather magic leaves. These they
bring home and carefully dry in bundles.
When rain is needed they cut the leaves
open and either pour water upon them out
OF calabash or lay them to soak in
bowl OF water. Then, they believe, it Will
surely rain.
Early in 1909, man near Obutong was
shown a famous rain ju-ju, and told that
it was so powerful that rain would fall
even at the height of the dry season if
certain rites were performed before it,
He was a sceptical soul, for no sooner had
he heard than, in a spirit of bravado, he
seized the ju-ju and performed the rites.
Unfortunately, the rest of the season was
wet enough to strengthen belief. even
among the most doubling. In the words
of the El1oi. IAN elephant of rain fell
this year" The foolhardy man paid dear
ly for his ceptieism-probably at the
hands of the indignant owners of the
ruined farms-for he disappeared, and no
trace of him has ever been found.

THAT ULSTER co. GAZETTE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The recent statement of a Kansas editor
that man in the editors town had a
copy of the Ulster County Gazette, con-
tanning an account of George Washing
tons obsequies, printed in 1900, recalls the
experience that Editor William w. Arm
strong of the Plain Dealer had with the
same copy good many years ago-nearly
40 or thereabouts
Said Mr.. Armstrong in his editorial
stronghold: 1--WE observe that someone
has contributed an Ulster County Gazette,
containing an account of the death of
Washington, January 4, 1900, to the loan
exhibition. This is a stupendous joke and
must NOT be permitted to pass unnoticed.
Five or six years ago a copy of the
spurious Gazette found its way to the
desk Of our then city editor and he,
thinking he had a prize, announced its
advent in big type, following with quo
tation that included the entire account of
Washingtons funeral which kept our
press back too late for the mails, and de-
luged our office for week with threat
ening letters.
1T was not long before the joke leaked
out. We Immediately strangled the Of
fender and buried him in the Potter s
field, bit the original continued to move
on and on, and eventually sold every
newspaper In the west, big and little. Now
we are glad to note that it has found a
home and a much needed rest on the hos
pitable shelves of the loan exhibition.

THE GIBBERIsH OF BASEBALL

( A country is counted substantial as 1t
begins to acquire a literature of its
own, and country's games assume an air
of permanency as they claim their own
vernacular. The present agitation for a
reform in baseball language reminds US
that baseball has woven itself enduringly
INTO the fabric of our national existence.
Most fans will admit the desjrability OF
reforming the vernacular to the extent
only of making use of the legitimate tech
meal terms instead of all the nonsense
which some sport writer's can think of.
But the reform is not to extend to the
point of trying to divest the game of its
own technique. The object is not so much
to make 1t understandable to the initiated
with a knowledge of the game as to the
real fan. The man who does not under
stand baseball naturally would not under
stand it's legal phraseology anyhow. When
he learns the game he will learn it's lam
guage says the Omaha Bee.
So the fans wishes are the ones to be
consulted. The intelligent fan is often ut
terly disgusted at the burlesque style OF
writing. we would much prefer q
straightforward story describing what
really took place. and that can always be
done without sacrificing either wit or
snappness-

New Express Rrtes

Cheaper rates and simplifed tariffs
as prescribed by the interstate COM
merce commission will be put in eff
feet by the five principal express
companies of the United States. Mem
bers of the commission say they be-
lieve that "the operation of the new
rules and rates will be of inestimable
benefit to shippers and carriers alike. "
Express company officials are not
so enthusiastic. They say they are
ready to obey orders, but they look
with longing at that 100000 a
year which it is computed they will
lose as a result of adopting the new
schedule of tariffs. This looks like an
enormous sum to be cut at one fell
swoop from the income of the car
riers, but they can probably stand it;
else they would not submit so tamely,
but would fight the commission in the
courts.
Despite the fact that some of the
express companies have paid dividends
as high as 40 per cent per annum, the
outlook is usually pessimistic to their
officers. They feared that the parcel
post would prove ruinous to their bus
mess, but it didn't. Now they appre-
hend dire results from cheaper rates

Illegal Votes

AS the auditorium bond issue was
foregone conclusion, little interest
was manifested in the bond election
held last Monday. Certainly no in
centive was held out for illegal vot-
ing. Yet it has been discovered that
many men cast ballots who had no
right to do SO.
These men are not corrupt. They
believed they had right to vote.
They should have the right to vote,
and would have, if they went through
the formalities that are required by
law. They didn't profit from the cast
ing of the ballot, except to have the
satisfaction which all good men feel
in carrying out their civic duties.
The trouble is that the election laws
of Alabama are crude and cumber-
some. Numberless men are disfran-
chised who should be voters. The total
of qualified electors is absurdly small,
and bring criticism upon the state
from outsiders who do not understand
the actual conditions. There should be
revision and simplification.

NORWEGIAN ICE HARVEST

From the Wide World Magazine.
The methods used to secure the ice har-
vest in Norway are very primitive. To
begin with, the ice lake is cut up by
means of a small plough drawn by a
pony. Two long cuts, with space of 26
inches between them. are made along the
lake. and then men armed with huge saws
cut the strip of ice thus separated into
blocks, each % inches square.
The next step lis to take the blocks of
ice to the store houses, at which the ice
ships can call. The first stage of the
journey is simple enough The ice har-
vesters have already cut channel in
the lake. Could anything be easier than
pushing the blocks of ice along the chan
mel so made This argues, of course, that
Some of the blocks are first removed
from one end of the channel. They are
taken to the head of slipway, from
which point they are in position for the
final journey overland.
These slipways reminds one irresistibly

What has become of the old fashioned
man who used to get terribly excited over
a game of croauet? t
A man can have no finer accomplish
ment than that Of minding his own busi-
ness.
When a woman has grown children she
never loses any time informing you that
she was married when she was a mere

There are other ways to waste time,
but one of the worst ways is to tell your
troubles.
Love is SO blind that a fellow often
doesn't know her face is covered with
powder until he tastes it.
The world owes you a living, but you
don't have to go to the penitentiary to
collect it.
When the intoxication of love results
in headache the lawyers prescribe aro-
matte spirits of alimony.
The reason men say women talk too
much is because the men folks do not like
to see the women folks bptting into one

Everything else changes. But human
nature and the woman problem continue

In the good old days the silly season
