House Approves Education Bill.

Madison.-A consolidation measure
known as the central board of educa-
ton bill, secured the assembly's ap-
prevail, being passed after an exciting
evening by a vote of 33 to SO. The
tax commission bill was killed by a
vote of 40 TO Az Both were the sub
ject of extended discussion.
The central board of education bill
was denounced by Assemblyman Mink
Ter as clever attempt to change the
personnel of the board of regents Of
the university and of normal schools
and thus secure number of new
appointments. Assemblyman Kent as
serted that men in charge Of private
educational institutions were practical
ly the only educational leaders in IA
vor of the bill. Assemblyman O'Brien
believed the measure If enacted would
do much for the common schools. Mr..
Hambrecht claimed the board would
be representative in that not more
than seven members may be members
of the same political party, one shall
be a farmer, one a wage-earner and
three women. A motion to kill the
bill failed, and it was then passed
1t will appear in the senate early next
week and may be referred to the joint
committee on finance before placed
on final passage in the upper house.

ASSISTS BY FIELDERS
Astonishing Records Made in
Throwing Runners Out.
GEORGE Van Haltren Made Sensational
Play on ICY" Swain, a Washing
ton Pitcher-Harry Niles Holds
Major League Record.

In the season of 1898 George Van
Haltren of the New York Giants, in a
game against Washington, was playing
center field. ICY" Swain, who was
hurting for the Senators, while at bat
happened to make what looked like a
safe drive to center. Nine times out
of ten it would have gone safe, but
Van made mad dash and gathered 1t
on the second bound and, without stop
ping, threw to first, the ball beating
the slow-footed "Cy' by a good six
feet, and Swain was sprinting his best
all the time.
Statistics show that the outfielders
back in the eighties and nineties had
the shade on the present-day outf1eld-
ers in making assists. The best record
in number of assists made in one sea-
son in the majors in recent years, or
since 1900, was made by Harry Niles,
then with the st. Louis team. In 1906
Harry nailed 80 men from the outf1eld,
getting them at different bases. In
1907, while playing right field for the
Cincinnati team, Mike Mitchell equaled
the mark set by Niles.

Speaker and Milan all have made es-
pecially good records in this direction,

RETORT COURTEOUS

The last time the Braves and the
Giants clashed Stallings' men
went after Chief Meyers men
rough shod. They evidently be-
lieved they could get the Chiefs
nanny" by applying some warm
names to him. Lord Byron was
umpiring strikes and balls. He was
feeling quite peevish, and the cack-
ling OF the Braves in their verbal
assault on Meyers irritated him
still more. Suddenly he whirled and
walked to the Braves bench.
Mr.. Stallings," he said, Il want
you to make your men cut out them
personalities. Understand me? Cut
out them personalities.
All went quiet. Byron males
tically stalked back to the plate
and was just DOMINIC his mask
when voice piped up from the
Braves bench:
All right, Mr. Byron; all right.
But you cut out them grammar. Do
you understand? Cut out them
grammar"

HANDSOME GIFTS FOR
 THE BRIDAL SHOWER
Original Ideas Sought by Those
 Planning Prs-Nuptial 8 Festivities

Bridal showers are now planned witl: so much originality and ingenuity that they often furnish as much unexpected pleasure for the guests as for the pros- pective bride. While more or less col laboration is necessary in order that there may be no duplicate contributions to the shower and that all gifts may be suited to the occasion, the actual manner os presentation is a matter which the hostesa often prefers to keep secret.
 In order that there may be ample time for carrying out whatever arrangement the hostess has decided upon. all gifts intended for the shower should be de- livered at the home of the hostess al least two days in advance of the fes' tivity.
 A delightful gift for the young brid. Is a set of the exquisite Venetian gold trimmed and initialed glass water set nov being distributed by this paper. How 1t may be secured is explained fully in thu Water Set Coupon appearing in The Age. Herald and in the display announce ments.

PEOPLE TO VOTE ON
 CARNEGIE LIBRARY

Columbus. Miss, September 24-(Spe- cial.)--For several weeks past the ques- tion of securing a Carnegie library for Columbus has been enthusiastically agi- tated here, and although members of the city council were at first averse to guar anteeing the support fund which is neces- sary before a donation for the erection Of the building will be made. such strong pressure has been brought to bear that they have agreed to submit tha matter to a vote of the people.
 It is the custom of MT. Carnegie to require each city wherein library Is erected to furnish a site and to guar antee a sum equal to 10 per cent of the amount donated for the support and main tenance of the institution. The sum which Columbus will ask for is $15,00o. and hes citizens will vote on the question oi offering site and the $15oo per annun necessary for the upkeep of the institu. tion. The date for the election has moi yet been fixed. but 1t will be held soon.

Women and wounded are everywhere, in the streets, in the trains and in the parks. That is why. though most people said they would not go out of London for a holiday. we found the second week of August unbearable and flew away fast as a car could carry us. But London Is going to be frightfully full by the mid de of September, and by that time we expect all fear of zepps will be at an end. heard of an American peeress who went to the Bank of England the other day to look at her jewels just to remind her of happy days.

ative; but he probably would not suspect that it bears any llinship whatsoever to the law for the better administration and or to the compulsory attendance statute. The fact is. that 1t is equally as vital in Its import and bearing on these last two mea sures as on the first. My study of this bill in the light. of the other educa- tional measures passed by the legisla- ture. convinces me that this is nothing more nor less than an integral part of a wel-laid and far-reaching plan to give to Alabama the very best possible educa- tional machinery. and then to furnish just so much reasonable encouragement as will stimulate those counties and dis- trlcts that need 1t, to help provide suit able educational opportunities for their children 5M@rf s.1 t
 In Keeping With Pledges
 "A It Is in keeping with the principles enuncated in my campaign for the gov ernorship of Alabama. Those who heard
