CARPET SHOCKS SENATORS

Washington Dispatch in New York World. The new carpet on the Senate floor is causing all sorts of trouble and merri- ment.
 The carpet generates electricity. When the pages run about the chamber they become storage batteries and shock sen- ators whom they touch.
 What did you stick that pin in my finger for?'' said Senator Kern, Starting quickly, when Page Jackson of Kentucky handed him a card.
 No, sir, senator, I did not stick you; it must have been little electric shock, for this carpet is full of electricity" re- piled the page.
 Senator Kern is not the only one who has been "stung." Almost every senator in the chamber has had his shock, and some of the pages really enjoy starting sparks
 After walking around, Senator Shoot leaned over to say something to Senator Overman and touched the tip of his ear
 "Ouch," shouted Senator Overman, so that people in the gallery could hear him.

tured the British brig Joseph, the packet Prince of Orange and the Re- venge. He disposed of his prizes in Spanish ports and sent the money ob- tained from their sale to John Adams and his colleagues.
 But he was eventually captured and endured long and severe incarcera- tion in English prisons. From here on he was not only abandoned by his former friends and admirers but by history as well. The place and date of his death are unknown, the nearest approach to the latter being toward the close of the century,"
 Such is the emptiness of fame; for just so little do the plaudits of the populace count and the meagre recom- pense for bitter abandonment, long suffering in prison and obscurity in death is the furnishing of a name to small engine of warfare a century and a quarter after his bones have turned to dust. So passes the glory of the world.

Horseshoe Bend Centenary

Today is the one hundredth anni- versary of the battle of Horseshoe Bend, in which Andrew Jackson crushed the Creek Indians. It was an epochal victory.
 The United Daughters of 1872 will celebrate the day by presenting pie lures of Andrew Jackson to the high schools of the Birmingham district, with appropriate ceremonies. All pa triotic merchants are asked to salute with the United States flag at 11:30 a. m. as "a silent tribute to the brave men who at that hour, 100 years ago, were winning the west to the white race"
 No event in Alabama $ early history was more exciting or memorable than the bloody battle of Horseshoe Bend, and the 27th of March should never pass unnoticed; and it will not fail to be celebrated so long as Sims Kelly chapter survives.

Buyer of Costly Books

'I have been reading with interest the accounts in the New York papers of Mr. Henry E. Huntingtons recent library pur- chases.'' said a retired railroad man.
 MT. Huntington is a nephew of the latO c. r. Huntington, and is managing di- rector of more railroads than any other American. He was born in Oneonta, N Y., in 1850, and began business life in that little town. l met him in the 70's when he was engaged in the lumber business at St. Albans, w. Va. In 1880 he was super intendent of construction of the Cincin- nati Ohio and Southwestern railroad Later he became first vice president of the Southern Pacific.
 MT. Huntington is paying, according to the New York Sun, $l,500, 900 for DOT ton of the Duke of Devonshire' library including an early copy of Hamlet valued at $1O0000. A few days ago MT. Hunting- ton made another purchase of Lincon- iana MT. Huntington is an intellectual man, but having led an uncommonly busy life he has had little opportunity of library culture He may have acquired the read ing habit in recent years, but in all prob ability he has purchased expensive books with the intention of presenting them to some public library. Certain it is that at his age he could not skim through one-tenth of the volumes he has recently acquired"

FRANK WHITE AND MOBILE

From the Mobile Register, March 20.
 Capt Frank s. White of Birmingham
 was in Mobile for a time and until yes- terday afternoon. We were much struck with his statement that while he is a friend of Mobile he is not so much for Mobile as for Alabama, and the whole of this valley country He regards Mobile
 as the doorway of the shortest route from the West to Panama canal; and believes that trade will flow through here in great volume. People will huild railroads to carry this trade, he says With re-
 gard to Birmingham, Captain White de- | clares that the men of his city are deter mined that Mobile shall be their port that they will ship the products of the district via this seaport; and they are not going
 to throw away money but are going to make it profitable to use this port. T shall not be surprised" he said, If we have to manufacture our steel right here
 at Mobile. It may be the logical place. And we will do it. We feel that Mobile and Birmingham are one; they have but one interest, and we are all for Ala
 bama''
 That Is the way for 8 man to talk. It rings true Captain White is not speaking as a candidate who wants votes; for he has always been Mobiles friend. He is almost Mobiian himself. In the old days, when he lived in Mississippi, there was hardly a law case from Mobile that Captain White had not the handling of; and his acquaintance with our people was intimate and his respect for them pro- found. The captain is In turn we'll known by reputation if not by personal contact with the present generation. He has been the peoples advocate for spans of years, and ever has striven for free and inde- pendent popular government He was of great force in the constitutional conven- ton, and will be remembered as at the head of the flying squadron of the sup porters Of the late John T. Morgan. Cap- tain White dates his activity from the reconstruction days, but is still a vigorous young man, in the prime of life in fact. Every inch of him is of senatorial weight and caliber.'

\ WATTERsONIAN REMINIsCENE

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Yes, indeed; the church bells ring at Monte Carlo much as elsewhere. They are ringing now for early service. And that reminds me- When lad at work upon morning newspaper in Washing ton city, I was not infrequently de- tained at my desk till after daylight. and on a certain occasion, as I was vending homeward, Alexander Dimitri. the famous translator of the state de- partment-the great Creek" he was called-one of the most notable figures and impressive personalities who ever lived in any country-suddenly emerged from doorway and laid his hand upon my shoulder. It was directly in front of Prindles gambling ,house. The clear. sweet notes of the bell of St Matthews were borne upon the summer air. .sHist:,' said he, with a manner half tragic and half burlesque, they are calling the saints to prayers. Mrs. Dimitri is going to mass Alexander Dimitri has just come out of he'll"

MIND OVER MATTER

From the Columbus Dispatch.
 It was a cold morning, and though MT. Ruff was still struggling with hard beard and soft razor, Mrs. Ruff was al- ready in the dining room.
 As she stood before the fire the cook came in with a face of abject misery. "Oh, ma am, what shall I do?" she walled. "The dog has just run into the garden with the masters breakfast. and it's too late to go out and get anything else"
 "is there anything exciting in the paper this morning?" asked Mrs Ruff.
 Why, yes, ma am,'' answered the aston ished servant. Tt says there's been a railway accident, colliery disaster and and murder. ma'am.',
 Then put the paper on your master S plate-he won't want any breakfast But in case he does, warm up a bit of last nights mutton

Human Documents

Not only does it behoove person to lead a sanitary life nowadays for the preservation of his own health, but also to escape being held up to pubic gaze as "horrible example" If he happens to be newly arrived foreign CT from Sunny Italy, or some other land where hygiene is still more or less of an unknown quantity among the lower classes, he stands first rate chance of having his wife, his children and his modest home eX- plotted in moving pictures by investi- gators.
 These tireless workers call at a time when the little family is not ex- pecting to receive visitors and the "home," which may be shack or may be one or two rooms in a tenement, is in the worst possible condition. With a smile of triumph the sanitary ex- perts collect horrifying data, take a hair-rising reel of pictures and depart to edify people who specialize in the matutinal bath.
 The people who stand most in need of lectures on hygiene are not always present. Occasionally they do happen to attend lecture and on two occa- sions recently protests of a threaten ing nature were made by persons who objected to being classed as Exhibit A." or Exhibit B." or any other ex- hibit. One woman made such con- vincing little talk in self-defense that she was applauded and the lecturer de- cided not to show any more pictures of her home. In Morristown, N. J., Italian residents destroyed photo graphs of the way in which they live, made as a part of social survey.
 Even people who wouldn't know a germ if they met one are apt to be sensitive in regard to their personal habits. The dirtiest tramp of the whole fraternity doesn't like to be told that he is filthy. Furthermore, showing him the error of his ways isn't going to make him take bath. Likewise Tony from Napoli, and Mrs. Tony and the little ones are not going to profit greatly by seeing moving pictures of their insanitary surroundings. Judi cious advice given in a kind manner will do more good than plan that is apt to hurt somebody's feelings.

uNpERwOoD AND ROBSON
the Franklin Times

From the franklin Times.
 Hobson says he will carry every eoun- ty in Alabama That reminds us of the fabled frog that tried to make itself as large as a COW but finally burst in the futile attempt We surmise the indefat- igable captain will on April 6, awake to find his political aspirations to be United States Senator suddenly burst into a thousand fragments.
 Ii is likely true that Hobson has some following. It may be true that thou sands of good men will stand by Hob- son until this coming April primary No one questions the right or should ques- ton the right of these voters if on cleo tion day they vote for Hobson
 So far, so good; but on the other hand there are thousands and tens of thou sands of just as good men who will go to the polls on April and cast their vote for the faithful, hard working, level- headed Oscar W. Underwood. who is not only the greatest living Alabama states- man, but one of the greatest men of the country.
 Any man who would try to belittle Un- derwood or his justly earned laurels will oply waste his time and very likely live to see the venom of his own selfish mo- tive or personal hate rebound to his own hurt.
 Once the death bangs of an eagle were made doubly painful upon seeing that the arrow which pierced her heart was tipped with feather from her own wing; so very likely will Captain Hobson and many of his supporters on April cast a glance at the overwhelming Underwood majority and the defeat of Captain Hob- son will be made doubly painful when he and those of. his followers who tried to heap false charges upon the cool, col lected and unruffled Oscar W. Under wood look and see the humiliating defeat that will sink Captain Hobson into polit- ical oblivion, was made doubly so be- cause of the false charges and the low. menial attempts to misrepresent the pulp lie life and character of Underwood. the great and popular man in Congress
