rlR. BARBOUR WILL Go.

Rev. John Barbour has accepted the
call TO Birmingham, Ala, subject to
the action Of the preSbytery. He said
TO a FREE PRESS reporter today that
he had been deeply touched by the de-
sire expressed SO largely by the church
and community to have him stay. He
had decided as he thought best, all
things considered. The call had only
anticipated his purpose to return in
a year or two TO a more temperate
climate, although there was no imme-
date necessity for going. He would
willingly foregO even so inviting an
opening, if by staying he could have
fastened the new church project. He
felt, however, that that was practical
ly assured, with the foundation laid,
most Of the means pledged, and some
OF the best business men of the city to
work it out, as they would do hand
Somely.
The congregation and citizens gen.
orally will greatly regret this step, as
Mr.. Barbour has made many warm
friends during the five years that he
has been in the city.

Worlds Fair Souvenir Coins.

One of the most creditable pieces OF
advertising that has been done lately
is that of the Worlds Fair Souvenir
Coins. 1t must have been an inSpira-
tion that led Lord & Thomas to sug.
gest to the directory the payment of
the advertising in these coins.
The advertising as designed by Lord
q Thomas was unique and original.
1t was placed in all sections of the
country, the order was completed
within six weeks, and the delivery of
the coins made within two weeks of
completion.
The Worlds Fair people were en-
inently satisfied with the success of
the advertisements as a means of sell
ing the coins, the papers are more
than satisfied with receiving the coins
for their pay, and Lord & Thomas are
satisfied with the credit they have re-
celyed for knowing how to push the
sale of any peculiar thing to a sue
cessful issue 1t is rumored that they
are to receive an additional order, to
which they are fairly entitled.

ed that reciprocity is fraud, but fig
ures from the advance sheets of the

1892, shows that the total value OF

from S55, 695, GA, during the first elev.
en- months of 1891, to S62, SO2,0O3 fol

such an increase in our exports, will
not grow in the favor of the Ameri.

The Baby Played Its Part Wen.

The hit of the evening at Herrmanfl's
was the baby. Marion Manola and Jack
Mason produced Caste" and it was not
until the third and last act of the play
that anything interesting occurred. The
first two acts were stupid. and there was
absolutely nothing to interest the house.
Mason was stiff and anxious. and Marion
Manola was too fearful and cried all
over the stage. The curtain went up on
the great third act and revealed prop
baby and the usual accompaniment.
The widow talked love to the prop
baby, and half dozen characters made
enough noise to awaken Brooklyn po-
iceman, yet the baby slept on all I'M
conscious. Finally they took the baby
OF, and when it came on again it was a
genuine baby, flesh and blood 1t was a
humorous baby for its age, for the pro-
gramme said that but year had elapsed
while the orchestra was playing popular
tunes. The baby must have grown
rather rapidly, and it was too big for
the crib from which it had apparently
been taken but few moments before.
The baby was letter perfect in his
lines. It looked as if he was waiting for
his cue and wagged it's head at it's papa
Mr.. Mason, the returned dead warrior
Finally after he had handled it as if it
were a pat of butter, its papa asked
somebody to take it away, and then he

of such a rapidly growing baby as that
was, even on the stage.-New York Even

THE annual report of Governor
Knapp, of Alaska, says the New York
Press, contains statistics which will
surprise that class which has been in
clined to look upon that territory
bought of Russia by Secretay Seward
twenty-five years ago, as an unprofit-
able and unproductive acquisition.
The exports from Alaska last year
reached nearly SS,OO0,OOO, while it's
imports, consisting of machinery and
merchandise, amounted to only 81
100000, leaving a handsome balance
in favor of the territory. The popu-
,ation of the country, however, is
sparse, aggregating only $1,000, most
of which is of Indian blood. A num-
Der of Indian schools has been estab-
lished at different settlements which
promise good results in the future.
The greatest difficulty which Alaska
encounters at present is the lawless
and turbulent character of the ma
tives. The latter have an inordinate
craving for Intoxicating drink.and, in
spite of the existence of a rigid pro-
hibitory law. manage through snug
glers to crafty their morbid 'appe
title. AS consequence drunkenness
and disorder prevail to large extent,
although the authorities appear to re-
lax no efforts to enforce the law.
With sober and Industrious popula-
tion. Alaska would be a source of vast
wealth to the United States 1t
abounds with gold, lumber and coal,
and it's cod. salmon and seal fisheries
are perhaps unsurpassed anywhere on
The globe. 1t is to be regretted that
these rich resources have not reached
a ereater stage of development.
