Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 14 Igor. The colored people of Alabama are| greatly rejoiced over the appointment of Ex-Governor Thos. G. Jones to th- U.S. District Judgeship by President Theodore Rooseveit. Gov, Jones'sa maa of great influence and power in this State, jis broadminded and has been a stalwart friend o° the Negro’s | cause when he most needed a friend. In the late Alabama Constitutiona Convention, he was for the just rights of the Negro upon all occasions. He fought the infamous yraad-father faction among the members of the bar tothe longer retentionof Judge Kim bell on the beich. Requests have been made time and again to the department of Justice to send a representative of that department to the Police Court and witness its proceedings. Attorney General Knox is a man of b oad legal.mind and if he is,convinced that a change 1s absolutely necesssary in the lower branch of the Police Court, it is believed that he will re- commend a change to President Roosevelt. Hundreds of cases that are brought tothe Police Court would not be tolerated in many states where the people have the right of sufferage. There is ne appeal from the decision of the court in cases in which the poor people are interested, if it were so many cases appeaied to the upper | court would no doubt fail to reach a Jury. Can Animals Cry? Lady Burton says she has seen | Aorses in the Syrian desert cry from thirst, a mule cry from the pain of| an injured foot, and camels shed tears in streams.

Wounded apes | have died crying, and apes have wept over their young ones slain By hunt- ers. A chimpanzee trained to carry water jugs broke one, and fell a-cry- ing, which proved sorrow, fhough it wouldn’t mend the jug. Rats, discov- | ering a young one drowned, have been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe which a huntsman's rifle had injured began to cry. Sea lions weep | gor the loss-of their young.

The singer at- tempted to give a brief history of the evolution of Hawaiian music.
