Huerta's Message

/ Despite alarming rumors of turmoil
and bloodshed, Mexico's Independence
Day passed quietly and peacefully,
| President Huerta was the recipient of
an ovation which seemed to show that
in the capital at least he has much
strength.
On the whole, General Huerta's mes
sage to Congress is a sane and sober
document. One feature of it may cause
a slight feeling of apprehension, how
ever. It was his recommendation that
there be no extension of the time
American warships may remain in
Mexican waters. The six months
named by the Mexican Congress will
expire next month. Little prospect
now exists that peace will have been
restored by that time, and the United
States may insist that its warships be
permitted to continue to ride at an
chor off the Mexican coast.
President Huerta had little to say
regarding the negotiations between his
provisional government and Wash
ington. He again fell into the error,
however, of intimating that President
Wilson is not upheld in his policies by
the people of this country. OF course,
there could be no greater mistake.
The Mexican elections are to be held
next month, and General Huerta says
he hopes that order will have been re-
stored before that time However
such an outcome might be wished, it
is hardly to be looked for. The pro-
visional presidents statement that he
would regard it as great triumph to
be able to turn the government over
to his successor with the country on a
basis of stable tranquility while
laudable is hardly satisfying. What the
United States wants is statement
without strings that he has no inten-
tion of attempting to succeed himself.

An Example of Bossism

Aboard the Baltic the day he sailed
for Europe Mayor Gaynor had rota-
BILE interview with James Creelman.
To Mr.. Creelman Judge Gaynor ex-
pressed the hope that his life would
be spared that he might return to
New York to finish the great task he
had undertaken.
'Tll strip the Tammany gang bare
I'll not spare one," he said
Then he told Mr. Creelman some
things of which he had never spoken
before Asked if it was true that Muir
ply had warned him he need not ex-
pect a denomination unless he removed
Police Commissioner Waldo, Mayor
Gaynor answered that it was true and
that he had received the message sew
eral times.
'Do you know, Creelman," he went
on, that - (naming one of the
most powerful of Tammany leaders)
once actually attempted to corrupt
Commissioner Waldo? He got Waldo
in room and there and then tried to
buy protection for gambling houses.
The south has heard much of boss
ism," and even has known some who
tried to set thmselves up as political
dictators, but never has such brazer
rascality as this existed here.

The $3.50. 900 Necklace

The story of $650,O0O pearl neck
lace being kicked about the streets of
the worlds largest city sounds more
like page from Dumas or Stevenson
than coldly dispassionate news item
from London.
The string of jewels, said to be the
most valuable of its kind in the world,
was stolen from the mails while in
transit from Paris to London. 1t is re-
ported that Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt is
to be the purchaser. When the packet,
supposed to be the original, was
opened in London, instead of the neck
lace it contained number of pieces
Of French sugar. Later three English
men and two Austrians were arrested
while trying to dispose of some of the
jewels.
Now a laborer finds So of the
precious stones on sidewalk in High
bury. All but one of the original 81
have been recovered. How came the
necklace to be left in the street? :?
Fright is probably the answer. 1t is
easily imagined that, alarmed by the
arrest of five of. the gang, the others
sought to get rid of the pearls as
quickly as possible, and threw them
into the street.
1t just happened that they were
found by an honest man.

Patronixe Southern INDUSTRY

''The large 'ad Carried in The Age
Herald Sunday, September A. for Lynch
burg shoes was decidedly unique and cer-
tainy deserves to be efective,'' remarked
Henry F. Beaumont, Birmingham adj
vertising man.
Undoubtedly il this ad is followed up
by others along the same line 1t will
create responsive sentiment worth much.
The matter published, arranged attrac-
lively is singular expression of COM
munity spirit and pride. 1t did not adj
vertise any brand of Lynchburg shoes,
but instead advertised all shoes made in
Lynchburg. l visited that city several
years ago and was surprised both at its
enterprises, its many charms and the nu-
merous large shoe factories which it had
Lynchburg is beyond doubt the largest
shoe-making center south of Boston and
as far as l know. is the only southern
city actually manufacturing footwear.
From personal tests. for I have worn
Lynchburg-made' shoes. the product OF
the leading factories of this Vfrginian
burg is equal to that of any on the
American continent, in quality and in
style, and 1t really behooves loyal south

.The Land congres.

The public men of Birmingham are
beginning to realize that the Alabama
Land congress-, to be held in November,
Will be not only an important event, but
far-reaching event in its effect on
Values said well known upbuilder.
President N. F. Thompson of the land
congress did successful work in organ
izins the first congress In Mobile a year
ago.
In arranging for the congress to be
held in birmingham, Mr.. Thompson has
done splendid work A full programme
Will be published shortly, and 1t will in
clude addresses by many distinguished
men. Alabama is second to no state in
the union in its resources. The Birming-
ham district is SO we'll known through
out the world. and IS attracting all the
while so much new capital, that no or
ganized exploitation of its resources is
needed. In general way the same thing
might be said of Alabama from an agri-
cultural point of view. But we have in
this state vast stretches of farm land.
Those of us who are here know how fer
tile this. land can be made and what
profitable crops can be cultivated, but the
northern homeseekers may not know
fully therefore the importance of the
land congress-"

THE AGED STRANGER.

But rest thee here at my cottage porch.

And eat of my humble store.

In the smoke and the battles roarrs 4
'T know him not" said the aged man,
And as I remarked before,
I was with Grant--."s"Nay,n nay, know"
Said the farmer. Say no more;
'He fell in battle? I see. alasl
Thou DIST smooth these tidings DER
Nay, speak the truth, whatever 1t be,
Though 1t rend my bosom's core.
How fell he-wth his face to the foe,
UNFOLDING the flag he bore?
oh, say not that my boy disgraced
The uniform that he wore!'
'I cannot tell" said the aged man,
"And should have remarked before,
That I was with Grant-in Illinois
Some three years before the war;
Then the farmer spake him never woro,
But beat with his fist full sore,
That aged man, who had worked foS

It was an important step In the life Of
Henry Clay Barnabee when he Joined the
choir of the home church at Portsmouth.
N. II. The male quartette. of which he
was member went serenading through
and about Portsmouth with such effect
that only the stern parental veto pre-
vented the four from taking the road
and gathering prestige and profit in the
surrounding villages. Meanwhile, in the
more practical walks of life, Mr.. Barna-
bee for four years served in the dry goods
emporium of William Jones & Son,
during which, he made his first visit to
Boston, and at the old museum saw Ju-
MUS Brutus Booth, father of Edwin and

Where Is the Leak?

The Philadelphia Public Ledger a
few days ago had this little news item:
"Tomatoes sold at cents basket to
the green grocer yesterday. The con-
sumer paid 10 cents quarter of a
peck, or 70 cents a basket. These
prices represented two extremes yes
tcrday."
On another page of the same issue
of the Public Ledger was this: Zig
ures were quoted at meeting of the
newly formed Retail Butchers asso-
citation last night to show that the
prices Of dressed beef sold to retailers
here by packing houses have increased
100 per cent in the last 10 years"
It is dark and stormy night for
the ultimate consumer. What is the
matter? Assuredly there is no green
erocers' trust. If the small shop keep
er could sell tomatoes cheaper than
his neighbor and rival just around the
corner, and still make fair profit, he
would do so.

Mary the Manager

1t would be indelicate to remark
that Queen Mary wears the trousers;
likewise indecorous to intimate that
King George is henpecked. The limita-
tions of the English language are dis
covered to be woeful when some sub
jects are discussed. To be as euphe-
mistic as possible, it is hereby sug-
gested that the Archbishop of Can
tcrbury got the crowns sadly confused
In the last coronation exercises at
Westminster.
The cables are kept fairly busy de-
scribing the haughtiness of Queen
Mary; her fervent insistence upon a
revival of all the antiquated cere-
monies that once hedged British SOW
ereignty. She is at once court criterion
ond court censor. Her dictum regu-
lates how the roast beef shall be
roasted, and her decree fixes the num-
Der Of inches that must be measured
from chin and floor by the frocks of
all females who come into her pres
ence. She is the grand Pooh Bah, the
factotum, the major domo, the Handy
Andy and the inflexibe czarina rolled
In one.
1t would be superfluous to recount all
the idiosyncracies that have been man
Tested by Queen Mary since her ac-
cession. They are numerous. One will
suffice: The young Prince of Wales
has been set up in an establishment of
his own. Among the employees of the
palace was young French laundress,
whom the Prince perhaps had never
seen. But Queen Mary saw her. "Too
pretty" said her gracious majesty;
'let her go at once to the grand keeper
Of the privy purse, become possessed
of her perquisites-the vanish"
The approaching marriage of the
young, wealthy and beloved Duchess
OF Fife has afforded ample play for
Queen Marys officious intermeddling
The Queens only daughter was in
vited to be one of the bridesmaids. The
Duchess wanted favorite cousin to
be first bridesmaid. Nothing doing.
MY daughter shall be first brides
maid or no bridesmaid at all" was her
ukase. and it was so ordered.
Some of the noblewomen of Eng
land conceived an idea that in view of
the brides deserved popularity, a
wedding gift from the people would
be appropriate, and they set about to
raise fund. The trouble was they
failed to take the Queen into consid-
Grafton. When Mary heard of it, she
ordered the movement abandoned and
all donations returned. "Only the bride
Of the heir to the throne should be the
recipient of such a present." she an
nounced, and, as usual, she had her
way.
1t is continued story. One often
wonders which lives in greater fear,

cousin and double, Nicholas of Russia,

MME. PAvLOvA AND TURKY TROT

From the New York Tribune.
In Mr. Hapgoods excellent Journal OF
Termination our delightful friend, Nine.
Anna Paylova, has words upon the rag
time dancing of the hour. She passes by
the question of immortality morality is
matter for the spirit" and If thoughts
are moral the dance cannot be evil. But
she objects seriously to the one step and
its variations for their utter absurdity
and inconsistency"
= Her first criticism is that nation should
not give itself up to lone trivial style to
the exclusion of all Others" The second
point is that ragtime is essentially a
skipping dance of pure joy'' and should
De danced alone or at most hand in
hand, without the suggestion of an en-
brace involved in the normal posture of
our round dances The sex interest Is
Irrelevant ard inconsistent with the
spirit of the dance"
This seems like sound criticism ana
with the new interest in dancing and the
new found skill which has resulted we
as expressive as Nine. .Pavlova could de-
sire. There is the tango, for instance,
which is already treading ON the heels9of
the one step. We suspect that when thel
one step craze has subsidized an era aofl
real dancing will begin, graceful, express
sive and as far removed fpom the exag-
eerated absurdities of the one step as
from the deadly banality of >the two
step, from which, at least, the ragtime
steps delivered us.

The Hotel Tutmiler

work is progressing on the Hotel Tut
wiler steadily and some of the artistic
effects can now be appreciated said an
esthetic citizen. The outer wall on the
east side is going up. The marble work
on Fifth avenue is beautiful in its sim
plicity and can see that it will be very
effective from an esthetic viewpoint.
Robert Jemison, Jr., as the rental
agent of the hotel, negotiated lease with
the United Hotels company-the best
hotels company in the United States. |
asked Mr.. Jemison the other day when
he expected to have the hotel ready for
opening. lie replied that he hoped to
have 1t ready by the first of March. He
admitted, however. that il might be lit
tie later before ii could be occupied, Ny
guess is that it will be the first OF June
before the hotel is opened. But few
months will make small difference In a
great enterprise like this.
when the Tutwiler is completed it
will be ,the finest hotel in all the south,
with the possible exception of the Jeffer-
son hotel in Richmond. 1t will, when
finished. represent an outlay of fully ST.
100000, and doubt If there is another
hotel south of Chicago or west of the
Mississippi river that will compare with
