/ NE or the most sensational mur- II der trials of recent years was
 that of Frederick Bailey Deem- ing, which was concluded in Melbourne, Australia, on May ?, 1892. It re- quired a long fight to convict him against his counsers plea of insanity. Those who heard this plea and the evil dence produced at the trial were will ing to admit one of two things-that he was either the greatest fiend that ever lived, or he was insane However, the jury judged him the former.
 In. order to carry out his supposed insanity Deeming confessed to all sorts of crimes, even to the statement that he had committed the majority of the Jack the Ripper" murders in London. But as he was not in England at the time that most of these murders oc- cured and was in jail when the latter ones were committed, it is very evident that his statements were false
 Deeming was no doubt guilty of many murders. The murder for which he was tried and convicted was tha of his second wife, Mrs Williams, who was hilieu WHlie He l1dSuuerdted under that assumed name He was married to his third wife when he was arrested but they were just spending their honeymoon, and there is no doubt that her life was saved through his arrest. When early in the nineties Deeming arrived at Rainhill, Eng, he rented in that pretty village on the outskirts of Liverpool, a handsome cottage. Shortly afterwards he brought to this home a wife and four children. He had resided there but short time when the woman and children disappeared, and by way of explanation he told them it was a sister and her children who had been visiting him.
 Nothing further was thought of the incident, but every one was surprised to find that Deeming had suddenly taken his departue. He sailed for Aus tralla. When he started away he
 changed his name to Williams and car ried with him wife number two. who was known as Mrs. Williams. They be- gan housekeeping at Windsor, suburb of Melbourne, Australia. They had lived there until Christmas time, when he mysteriously disappeared and assumed the name of Swanston.
 The house where the Williamses had lived at Windsor remained unoccupied

Alabama's Great University

|
 The people of this state have al ways felt pride in the university at Tuscaloosa, and they. have reason to feel prouder of it today than ever.
 It has grown and broadened within the last few years, and under the presidency of Dr. George H. Denny it has become notably progressive progressive in the best sense of the term. AS an educational institution no university in the country is more 1 thorough in what it teaches, and no | institution of learning has ever had more loyal alumni. Most college-bred boys cherish their alma mater for a time and then allow their ardor to chill; but the gray-haired alumnus of the University of Alabama manifests in most cases the same unfeigned af- lection for the institution as the young man who has been only few years outside of the university walls. This is as it should be.
 There is a sentiment in favor of the states university that is far-reaching and accounts for it's ever widening influence. The student body increases year by year, and the large enrolment in this years summer school is one of number of evidences of the uni versitys popularity.
 All through the south there is a growing appreciation of higher educa- ton, and numerically the university's student body will probably reach 150o in the scholastic year of 1914-15. All citizens of Alabama who desire to have part in the upbuilding of the state will give to the university their moral support with enthusiasm and join in any movement seeking to enhance it's efficiency.
 One of the university's most inn portant departments is that of medi- cine. The graduate school of medi cine was established here year ago. The university free dispensary is being enlarged, and within the next two or three years will be recognized as one of the greatest humane institutions in the south. It is only a question of time when the university's medical college will be removed from Mobile to Birmingham. Owing to the es- pecially large and varied clinical work here Birmingham is the natural field for the medical department. Likewise Birmingham is a aingularly inviting field for the university's tecbnologica, department. The money subscribed here in the Methodist university cam paign if applied now to technical edu cation would serve a noble purpose. It could be used to fine advantage in erecting spacious buildings in which to house the university's engineering
 
 equipment.
 Tuscaloosa is in the Birmingham mineral district, and fast train service has greatly minimized the distance a. measured by time. Birmingham sends to the university a large number Of students every year, and the institu tion is more and more regarded as being almost at our doors. With the university's. technological school here the nearness of Birmingham and Tus- caloosa would be all the more re- marked.
 But whatever may be done in the way of establishing university tech nological branch in Birmingham, everybody here as well as everybody throughout Alabama can but rejoice to see the states great institution prospering and developing potentiali- ties hardly dreamed of in the years gone by.

MemoIi at Avonda,e Park

T am glad to know thatsMemoli and his band will give concert next Sun day afternoon at Avondale park" said a resident of that section.
 While many citizens of my neigh borhood frequently attend the concerts at Capitol park, hundreds of music lovers who do not find it convenient to go into town will enjoy Sundays pro gramme. I hope the concert fund will be large enough next year to pay for music every day of the summer. Should 1t be so. Avondale would have reason to expect a concert once a week."

 Since January of this year the govern ment of Dayton, O., a city of over 135, ,000 people has been administered by city manager, an innovation inspired partly by the experiences following the Dayton flood of a year ago.
