 WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The sen ate almost completed the consideration of the agricultural schedules of the tariff bill and disposed of a number of important rates over the protests of the republicans. No amendments were adopted. The democratic leaders ex- pect to complete the agricultural sched- ules and express confidence that none of the provisions will be changed, free cattle, free wheat and other products already being approved. The sugar schedule, on which the greatest fight in the tariff controversy will be waged, will be reached next

PAINT SHOP FIRE-Fire was dis.

PAINT SHOP FIRE-Fire was dis covered last night shortly after mid night in the paint shop of Charles N Higgins at the corner of South Sev- enth street and Grant. The fire de- partment arrived on the scene too late to save the paint shop which was wholly destroyed. The loss will amount to something like $500. The alarm was turned in from box 36 about five blocks from the fire. The building has been used for some time to store paints, wall paper and such material all of a nature that makes them easily burned

The Cold SpelI

II have lived in Birmingham "A years, y
said a pioneer Birmingham man yester-
day." and in all that time l do not re-
member as cold weather at this season
as we have been having. A thermometer
hanging ON the rear of my porch regis
tered 40 degrees when L looked at it about
6 or $50 o'clock this morning. The
weather felt to me. however, as if it was
well below freezing. the air being raw
and damp.
Some or years ago 1 remember /
haG little garden patch which froze up
tight as a drum on April Fool morning.
Some have said there was frost this
morning. but I failed to see any, although
| noticed a Gamma lily plant in the front
lawn that was turning black and which
probably had been 'nipped.' The frozen
fruit story always starts circulation about
this time of year, but it would not sur
prise me bit to find out that it is base
on some fact this season. | noticed u
peachtree that had been in bud several
weeks ago and which had small fruit on
it. Hundreds of the little peaches are now
lying on the ground, but as TO whether
they were frozen off or not / can't say

Democratic Duty Today

The Aldrich- Payne tariff was an eX-
tremely socialistic measure. 1t was
based on the idea that it is the func-
tion of the government to provide
prosperity in the mills and out of
them The mills and the people had
been taught for over a generation to
lean upon the government, and rea-
sonable degree of competition was not
encouraged. This was socialism of the
worst sort. 1t bred monopoly and
huge combinations. 1t fostered, if it
did not directly create, high prices at
home 1t ran the cost of living up with
out meeting it with corresponding
wages.
The democratic party has been au-
thorized by the people to reverse this
unjust socialistic tariff, and Mr.. I'm
derwood has drawn up traiff that is
still protective outside of its free list.
It aims to increase the duties on lux
uries, and to exempt the necessaries
of life. 1t will produce a good deal of
revenue without being rotten with
graft and privilege.
The way to revise tariff is to
revise it, and the democrats should
sternly proceed to execute the task
they have been authorized to turn
into law They will encounter opposi-
ton in a thousand forms from tariff
beneficiaries and selfish interests. But
all these should be disregarded and
tariff should be passed based on rev.
enue with protection as an incident
merely.
The President and Leader Under
wood are standing shoulder to shoul-
der in support of the bill prepared by
the ways and means committee, and
| it is believed it will emerge from the
secret party caucus almost unchanged.
The battle in the party will be fought
out this, week, and the hope is that
free wool will be retained. What the
people wear and eat, says the Presi-
dent, must be made cheap. This and
the re-establishment of competition
in our industries, are the real issue,
and the democratic party is sternly
pledged to both and it should sternly
meet both, no matter what the oppo-
sition may be.

the design. There are many vel
known landscape engineers or land
scape architects who have specialized
in city beautiful work, but there are
only few of national reputation. The
park commission should select one
who is known to have achieved large
results. The plan that is made for
Birmingham should be good enough
for Boston, New York, Chicago or any
other city. The professional services
need not be very high in cost, but the
public should have faith enough in
the park commission to abide by any
selection that it may make. The park
commissioners serve without pay.
They are very busy men and they
are sacrificing their time for the pub
lie good.
After city plan has been adopted
there will be tame enough to discuss
details bound up in the future. In the
let there be harmony. Let
the get-together spirit prevail and,
above all things, it is hoped there will
be no friction-no clash of any kind
between the park commission and the
city commission.

County Convicts on the Roads

All county convicts now at the mines
are to remain there and serve out
their sentences. Because of this agree
ment it will be necessary to gather
new force from the courts to be put
at work on the public roads. Already
a squad of 16 has been secured and
in a short time the new system Will
be in operation throughout the coun-
ty. Camps and houses on wheels will
be accumulated as the number of mis-
demeanor offenders increase.
The use of the county convicts on
the county roads will be worked out
to a successful result by a board of
revenue altogether friendly to the
system. The board hopes to meet the
expectation of the people of Jefferson
county even in the first year, and
complete success is expected in the
second year.
1t is a matter of practical expert
ence and skill to be worked out by men
accustomed to the handling of men
and the building of roads. Anonymous
circulars cannot determine the prob
lem in Jefferson county. The board Of
revenue alone is charged with the
task and when it's facts and figures
are presented at the end of yeal
there will be something to go on
Mere estimates and predictions with
no one behind them need not be con-
sidered at this stage of the game.

NEW METHODS OF LIGHTING

From the Electric News Service
in the art of artificial illumination. Since
scientists have taken UP the study of the
effect of artificial light upon the eyes
they have found many errors in the old
systems of lighting our homes, offices,
factories and places of amusement Per-
haps the worst offenders are public build
ings of all kinds where everything is sac
rificed for artistic effect regardless of
poor lighting and actual injury to the
eyes.
There are some days of light which are
harmful to the eyes Red rays should al
ways be carefully avoided Eyes tire rap
idly when exposed to dazzling points of
light. For this reason the lamps should
never be placed where people have to look
directly at the glowing bulbs.
The very latest practice in illuminating
large buildings of all kinds is to install
the indirect method of lighting. This
means, as the term implies, that the lamps
themselves are hidden and the building
illuminated by reflected light These hid
den lamps give soft, evenly distributed
light, bringing out to the fullest extent
the artistic features of the interior
showing the decorations to the best ad-
vantage as well as fully protecting the
eyesight. The lamps used are the new
metal flament incandescent lamps which
give clear white light, with no red rays
to injure the eyes. These lamps are
placed in hanging refiectors of classic de-
sign which throw the light up against tie
ceiling and upper walls where it Is re-
fected to all parts of the room. Diff
fused in this way the light appears softer
and is more evenly distributed over large
areas. 1t is quite impossible to see the
lamps. Heavy shadows and patches of
too much light are totally avoided and
there is a distinct saving in the cost for
illumination because a small-amount cf
light can be made more effective in this
way than by the old methods.
Indirect lighting is being extensively
used in churches and public halls. 1t is
said upon good authority that most Of the
sleepiness in church is caused by eye
strain instead of dull sermons. Where
indirect lighting is used all glaring points
of light are removed and this drowsiness
is avoided.

Gettysburg Fifty Years Ago

The reunion of the blue and the
gray at the end of half a century on
the battlefield of Gettysburg is no
ordinary event. The one side will be
as warmly welcomed as the other, and
the government will be prepared to
shelter and feed $4,000 men from the
two armies that fought at Gettysburg.
The celebration will last four days
beginning on July l.. The battle cul-
minated on July A, and all the deeply
historic events of so years ago will be
recalled.
The people of each community
should see that every living veteran
who participated in the series of
events at Gettysburg is enabled to at
tend this remarkable reunion. Rail-
road fare is needed, and meals en-
route.
There is every assurance that the
veterans of the Confederacy will be
treated with consideration, both by the
government and the people. General
Lee boldly invaded Pennsylvania
when he went to Gettysburg, and if
his resources had been sufficient his
march would not have been halted
there. History will deal with all this,
and in the meanwhile every veteran
should be given an opportunity to re-
turn to the battlefield of so years
| ago.

Interest in Symphony Concerts


Il believe that the Cincinnati Symph-
ony orchestra will draw capacity houses
at the Jefferson theatre on the 5th and
9th of May" said an old member of the
musical set.
"A year ago the Minneapolis orchestra,
which is one of the best in this coun-
try, did not draw as well as 1t de-
served but the main reason was be-
cause of a strong counter attraction
-DrH Grigg's lectures. There will be
no counter attraction to speak of when
the Cincinnati orchestra comes. As has
been frequently stated, this is one OF
the famous orchestras of America II
ranks fully up to the Chicago orchestra
founded by the late Theodore Thomas
or the Damrosch orchestra, or the Phil
harmonic orchestra of New York
Not only Is Birmingham growing
fast but the interest in artistic music
is increasing steadily. 1t is safe to say
that there are at least so per cent more
people in this city who enjoy SYM
phony music than was the case here
seven or eight years ago. The virtuoso
recitals have been well attended this
season but a symphony orchestra is
more enjoyed than most recitals be-
cause of the variety which the pro-
gramme presents"

IN THE ALHAM3RA

William Dean Howells in the North Amer
lean Review.
l doubt nothing that Irving says of
the Alhambra; he is the gentle genius of
the place, and could almost wish that L
had paid the 10 pesetas extra which the
custodian demanded for showing his
apartment in the palace. On the spot the
demand of 81 seemed a gross extortion,
yet it was not too much for a devotion so
rich as mine to have paid, and l advise
other travellers to buy themselves off
from vain regret by giving it. II ever
memory merited the right to levy tribute
on all comers to the place 1t haunts,
Washington Irvings is that memory. His
Conquest of Granada is still the history
which one would wish to read; his ..Tales
OF the Alhambra'' embody fable and fact
IN just the right measure for the hearts
desire In the presence of the monuments
they verify or falsify They belong to that
strange age of romance which is now SO
almost pathetic and to which one cannot
refuse his sympathy without sensible loss.
Except for the eager make believe of that
time, we should still have to hoard up
much rubbish which we can now leave
aside, or accept without bothering to as
say for the few grains of gold in 1t.
The Alhambra is not so impressive by its
glory or grandeur as by the unparalleled
beauty of its place. If 1t is not very noble
as an effect of art, the inspiration of its
founders is affirmed by their choice of an
outlook which commands one of the most
magnificent panoramas in the whole
world. 1t would be useless to rehearse
the proofs, but I bid the reader think of
far off silver crested submits and OF a
peopled plain stretching away from them
out of eyeshot, dense first with roofs, and
domes and towers, and then freeing itself
in fields and vineyards and orchids and
forests to the vanishing point of the
perspective; think of steep and sudden
plunges into charms at the foot of the
palace walls, and one crooked stream
stealing snake like in their depths; think
of whatever splendid impossible dramas
of topography that he WILL of a tremen-
dous map outstretched in colored relief,
and he will perhaps have some notion of
the prospect from the giddy dindows of
the Alhambra; and perhaps not.

sousa ON n Long Ride

.John Philip Sousa, the famous band
master, INDUCES in two forms of recrea-
tion-one is horseback riding and the
other is shooting clay pigeons" said a
member Of the Athletic club.
"Sousa spent two or three weeks in
Alahana-most of the time in fBirming-
hama year ago. He came especially to
shoot, and while here took many long
horseback rides. I nave known Sousa for
many years, and he is as genial and en-
tertaining personally as he is popular mu-
sically.
I'm last Saturdays Washington Post is
horseback ride from Hot Springs. Va, to
the NATIONAL capital 500 miles, In the
lobby of the New Willard hotel Mr. Sou
sa said to a representative of The Post:
1T is not a test ride, for it is the fifth
time I have made the trip. My companion
and I made the journey in less than eight
days. I can appreciate, after such jour-
of the army to make periodical rides of
q like nature. There is nothing that can
put a man in such good physical condi-
ton, and l can understand how it is that
the men. of the western prairies are al
ways fine specimens of manhood. The
outing has done me great good. The
roads as a rule were in fine condition,
though we had all kinds of weather.
Perhaps 1 may get an inspiration from
my Journey and write horseman's
march, but at present 1 am busy with
my operas. The trip made me realize
that there Is much music in the very still
ness of nature

Fewer Office seekers

THE horde of officeseekers that
struck Washington on or about March
is growing less every day." said John
T. Farwell of Philadelphia.
II am a democrat and attended the
Inauguration, but I am not after any
office. Many of my acquaintances, how
ever, We're applicants but they have
been told by congressman that they
stood no change and they have taken
their disappointment philosophically.
PRESIDENT Cleveland was civil
service reformer but President Wilson
is even more of a reformer. The
changes under his administration will,
according to all accounts, be reduced
to a minimum.
Il have been voting since 1880 and
when 1 was younger I would have crit
icized any democratic administration
that allowed a republican to remain in
office But I have broadened in re-
cent years and I believe that 80 per
cent of the democrats have broadened.
1 can see now that the civil service law
is good thing. l do not pretend to
know much about the tariff, but J.
thoroughly indorse President Wilson In
his attitude toward the office seekers" :"

War in the Balkans Nearly Ended

The reply of the powers to the note
of the allies shows that there is small
room left for war. The powers will
do the rest and the jockeying they
will do will be apt to turn the
stomachs of all honest men, for they
are full of selfish schemes.
They will keep Greece from gain
ing possession of some of the Aegean
"Dands peopled by Grecians only.
they will frame up an Albania to suit
the ambition of Austria Hungary,
which was not a party to this war.
They will overwhelm and smother
poor little Montenegro, and they will
dicker and haggle over the indemnity
question before a commission ap-
pointed by themselves to sit in Paris.
The war should have been ended
with the driving of the Turks out of
Europe. They will retain Constantine
pie and the Dardanelles, and this
means that another war will have to
be fought in order to get rid of the
invaders of 600 years ago. Nothing
ever is settled in this world until It
is settled right.

THE WAY no WALK

From the London Mall
The habit of man and woman walls-
ing arm-in-arm in public has long gone
out of fashion, says the Paris Excelsior.
In its columns discussion on the subs

within that of the man, or should he
take hers?

There is time when self respectins
people may permit themselves to walk

ALFONSO.

A MOTHER attempt has been made
"a to a-.a..'n.'s King Alfonso Of
Spain. To his splendid courage
and presence of mind he again owes his
| life. Like the modest gentleman he is,
he describes the occurrence simply, with
out either affectation or bravado placing
most of the credit for his escape on the
fact that his horse reared at an opportune
moment and private policemen promptly
seized his assailant. His conduct during
the whole affair was admirable. This Is
not the first time Alfonso has proved
himself to be a brave and gallant man,
facing murderous assaults without finch
ing and showing more consideration for
others than for himself The king busi-
ness is not what it used to be, but the
world has not lost it's admiration for true
gallantry Alfonso, by his modesty and
his. superb bravery has proved that his
qualities as a man quite transcend the
glamour of his crown
