ROSS OPPOSES AMENDMENT

Representative George Ross states that he will not support the ratification of the Anthony amendment in the July term of the Alabama legislature. MT. Ross states. however, that he is not opposed to woman's suffrage, but is of the opinion that the question should be decided by the voters of the state, and not by the ratification of the federal amendment He will support a resolu- ton calling for an election for the question to be submitted to the voters of the state, but is unqualifedly op- posed to any question affecting the state being decided through federal amendment. MT. Ross has introduced
 several bills in the legislature in which
 the women of the state were interested
 demonstrating that he is in accord with those measures for which the women are working, and his decision to vote against the ratification of the Anthony amendment will doubtless be disap- pointment to the suffragists in the state

ENFORCE STOCK LAW

Upon repeated complaints of citi- zens of cows and horses roaming at large in the city, Mayor B. c. Jones appointed Allious Benton and M. P. Parker the first of the week to en- force the stock law in the city limits, and so well has the law been enforced that a large number of cows are in the pound pen. and the mayor has spent the last few days receiving calls froms the owners. At almost every meeting of the council complaints are made from citizens in various sections not being enforced. which accounts for the extreme measures being taken. Much damage to gardens and lawns has been done recently by the prowl- CTS ard the enforcing of the law will prevent these damages in future.

EXPLOIT OF CAPTAIN BALL,

Some of the exploits of the late
Captain Ball, V. c., were of an as
founding nature. He was only nine
teen when he was killed, and for
long held the record among British
aviators, having "downed'' 43 Boche
machines.
On one occasion he had gone some
twenty miles across the enemy
lines, when he encountered two of
their machines. Without hesitation
he attacked them and fought them
until his ammunition had run out.
The two enemy planes had appar-
emily had enough and seized this OPP
portunity to escape by diving down
to the ground.
Ball was much disguised at this
and emptied six rounds from his re-
volver at the two diving airplanes.
He then seized a piece of paper and
a pencil which he had with him and
wrote out challenge for the same
,vo machines to meet him at the
same spot the next day.

STOLE MILK FROM BABIES
Angora Goat Belonging to New York
Menagerie Proved to Be Entirely
Without Conscience.

A solution of the problem of the
mysterious disappearance in the last
month of more than hundred milk
bottles from baby carriages in Cen
trail park was reached in the discov-
cry that the culprit is none other
than Nellie, the crippled Angora
goat, which has been allowed the
freedom of the park by Joe Cum
bingham, head keeper of the park
menagerie, says New York Herald.
Park attendant have been puzzled
lately at the large number of bottles
found strewn in out-of-the-way
places, and nurse girls have been
perplexed to know what became of
the bottles that were supposed to
soothe their infantile charges into
somnolence.
A nursemaid caught Nellie in the
act of fishing in the folds of the
baby's coverings for the bottle. The
goat was nibbling on the nipple
when the baby yelled something that
sounded like "Policew and the
maid looked up from her novel in
time to see Nellie beating a retreat,
with her teeth firmly clutching the
booty.
1t seems that the goat, now two
months old, broke her leg when two
weeks old. Keepers O'Rourke and
Coyle placed the leg in splints and
in the period of convalescence Nellie
lived in state in the elephant house
and learned to drink from bottle.

LANDED ON THURMAN COAST
In Sixteenth Century, Expedition Eos.
tered by Sebastian Cabot Reached
lnhospitabIe Shores of Russia.

The landing of allied troops on
the Thurman coast would have great
ly interested the seamen of the six
teenth century, when so many at
tempts were made to discover a
northeast passage to Asia by round
ing the north coast of Norway.
After several futile schemes had
been discussed, Sebastian Cabot pro-
NOTED movement which eventu-
ally resulted in the dispatch of three
ships and over a hundred men, in
May, 1853.
Sir Hugh Willoughby, to whom
was intrusted the command of the
expedition, got as far as the en-
trance to the White sea, and even
tually landed at suitable place on
the Thurman coast. Willoughby de-
cided to winter there, but he and
his men succumbed to the arctic
conditions.
However, another member of the
expedition, Chancellor, whose ship
became separated from the other
two, finally landed on the shores of
the White sea, where Archangel now
stands. From that place he actu-
ally went to Moscow, returned to
his ship, and eventually reached
London again. Chancellor endeav-
ored to repeat his Russian trip, but
persisted by shipwreck on the return
journey.
