May Prefer Criminal Charges.

Judge Miner withheld a divorce de-
cree in the case of Selma vs. Willard
DeFrenn of Corunna, after hearing the
testimony, and some action may be
taken against the husband who married
the girl, who was under sixteen years
of age, after he had been arrested on a
criminal charge. A child was born
soon after the marriage, and he failed
to support the wife or the child until
threatened with criminal action. DE
Frenn is paying $3 week to his wife,
and the court will probably increase it
to $5 a week if decree is granted.

standing at the time was that the of fer was made to Seth Low. MT. Low de- clined, and then the governor invited MT. Wilcox to accept the appointment.
 There had been earlier pleasant per- sonal and some professional relations be- tween MT. Hughes and MT. Wilcox. These however, would not alone have led Governor Hughes to ask MT. Wilcox to become chairman of the public utlll- ties commission. It was chiefly due to energy, courageous conservatism and an infinite capacity for detail, as well as large fund of common sense, which led Governor Hughes to ask MT. Wilcox to accept this appointment. Like reasons, undoubtedly, including strong personal friendship, justified MT. Hughes in se- lecting MT. Wilcox as chairman of ths republican committee. Mr. Wilcox is a man of wealth and both of himself and through family associations is now and has been for long time in constant touch with highly cultivated society Of New York.

 Mr Plaisance enjoyed the confidence and esteem of every travelling man In Birmingham. He was very active in work in the U. c. T., and also was active for the A. T. A. as well as the T. P. A.

 Mir. Plaisance has been travelling out of Birmingham for 1S years past and | has a host of friends throughout Ala bama, Georgia and Tennessee, which territory he has been covering for eight years past. He was elected president | of the Alabama Travellers association at it's recent annual meeing in Birming ham, and is a past grand counselor of the United Commercial Travellers He has held every state office within the gift of the U c.

In addition to his many activ |ities. MT. Plaisance has found time to aid in the establishing of new U. c. T. councils, notably the recent installation of Gadsden council which is one of the strongest in the state.
 He leaves Birmingham with the best wishes of all his friends. One of the peculiarly fitting things in connection with his departure from this territory is the fact that he won a solid gold watch offered by his firm to the sales man selling the largest amount Of goods during June.

Real Richard Harding Davis

From with Davis in Vera Cruz, Brus-
 sels and Saloniki,' by John T. McCutch-
 con in the July Scribner.
 Before my acquaintanceship with Davis at Vera Cruz I had not known him well, pan in the Japanese-R Russian war, and in the Transvaal I missed him by few days but in Vera Cruz I had many en- joyable opportunities of becoming well acquainted with him.
 The privilege was a pleasant one, for it served to dispel a preconceived and, not an entirely favorable impression of his character. For years I had heard stories about Richard Harding Davis-stories which emphasized an egotism and self assertiveness which, if they ever existed, lad happily ceased to be obtrusive by the time I got to know him.
 He was a different Davis from the Da- wis whom I had expected to fnd and can imagine no more charming and delightful companion than he was in Vera Cruz. There was no evidence of those qualities which l feared to find, and his attitude was one of unfailng ki6nness, consderateness and generosity.
 In the many talks I had with him, l was always struck by his evident devo. ticn to fixed code of personal conduct. In his writings he was the interpreter of chivalrous. well-bred youth, and his heroes were young. clean-thnking col lege men. heroic big-game hunters war correspondents and idealized men about town, who always did the noble thing disdaining the unworthy in act or motive. It seemed to me that he was modelling his own life. perhaps unconsciously, after the favored types which his imagination had created for his stories. In a certain sense he was living a life of make believe, wherein he was the hero of the story, and in which he was bound by his ideals always to act as he would have the hero of his story act
