 Nashville Chat of March 10 says of them:
 The Glee club was the peer of any that has appeared in Nashville this season. The boys present striking appearance, sing in good time and strike their chords with &C., curacy. The medley of popular airs made a good hit, and the rendition of the hunt ing chorus from HRobin Hood" was ex- ceedingly well done. This is especially noteworthy, since this chorus has seldom, if ever, been attempted by college glee rlub

ABATE THE NUISANCE.
I0II First Ave7zzte.

The attention of the city authorities is respectfully called to a nuisance at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty first street. The filthy washings from the county jail and jail yard run down the gutter and accumulate in pools under the sidewalk crossing on each side of Fourth avenue, and run down the gutter the whole length of the Presbyterian church and in front of the residence of Dr. Sears. The diphthertic stench that greets the olfac- tories of the passers-b by is simply unbeara- ble and the health of the surrounding citi- zens jeopardized thereby. SAN1TAs.
 The AGE HERALD is glad to state in con- nection with the above that work has been commenced at that point, and prospects are that the nuisance will be abated in few days.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS
Expressing the Appreciation of the Public School Teachers for Their Superintendent, Dr.
 J. II. Phillips.

The school teachers met Saturday morn- ing at the high school, it being the regular pay day. It was with some trepidation that they waited, for the money had not come, but Dr. Phillips was equal to the emergency, and borrowed it from the Der ney bank. that the teachers might not be disappointed in their Christmas expecta- tions.
 While they waited the teachers of the elementary schools, in an informal meet ing, expressed in writing their appreciation of Dr. Phillips sacrifice of his own salary in order that theirs might not be touched, and one of the ladies was requested to read the sentiment to the assembly. 1t was as follows:
 DR. PHILLIPS: We, the teachers of the elementary schools, feel such deep appre- citation of the course pursued by you, In sacrificing your own financial interests for us, that we are iinpeIled to make some acknowledgment of our indebtedness, though words are always inadequate to express the deepest feelings of the heart. We feel, however, that our noble board of education and our city officials must indeed have felt the pressure of the times ere they would accept such sacrifice from one who has already done so much for Birmingham in building up her excellent system Of schools, and in full faith and loyalty we pledge ourselves to work and wait with you for the return of brighter days to our beloved city, trusting that as the violet gives forth its sweetest perfume under pressure so our schools, under the pressure of "hard times,' may send out record of such progress and excellence as shall make the Magic City once more a center of wealth, as it is of intelligence, and in that bright future we are confident that your worth and sacrifice will be appreciated and rewarded.
 We thank the principals, too, for their ready acquiescenee in your suggestions, and feel sure that the schools, superin- tendent, principals and teachers will prove themselves ct all times and in all ways thoroughly united, working for the best interest of all concerned.
 Wishing you happy Christmas.

THE AGE-HERALD FOR SALE.

THE AGE-HERALD FOR SALE.
 For several months pastthe AGE- HERALD properly has been in litigation. Last March the Birmingham Trust and Savings Company, as trustee for the boudholders ofthe AeE-HERALD Company, asked for the appointment of receiver and the City Court of Birmingham rendered a decree in accordance with the application. Since that time the paper has been regularly is- sued and the liberal and greatly increased patronage has been highly appreciated by all parties interested in the property. The AGE HERALD has steadfastly labored on its mission and it's influence was in no way weakened by legal surroundings.
 On Thursday, January 10, 1895, the entire property of the AGE- HERALD is to be sold at public outcry, for cash, and this sale carries with it all and singular the estate and property, real, personal and mixed, {, all fixtures, rights and privileges, income, franchises, rights under contract of all and every kind, held and owned by or belong ing to the AGE-HERALD Company, or which may be at the time of such sale held or owned by the receiver herein as such, {, and the accounts and claims due or to be- come due to said AaE-Hl RALD Company and to the receiver herein as such, which may remain uncolected at the time of such sale. Also the AGE HERALD newspaper plant and property, consisting of engine, printing presses, type, furniture and iron safe, and all other property now in the building occupied by the AGE HERALD Company, or by said receiver as such, in said city of Birming ham, Ala. belonging to said AGE HERALD Company, or said receiver as such. Also the Southern Associated Press franchises and the United Press franchises, now held and owned by said AGE HERALD Company, or by said receiver as such.
 This is most excellent piece of news- paper property. The circulation of the daily and weekly AGE HERALD is not con- fined to Birmingham or to Jefferson county; but the paper has the State of Ala balna, Northern Mississippi and other val uable territory as itc field. The press used is the Web Perfecting Press, one of the finest and most rapid presses in the South. It is large enough aud fast enough to print any paper South of the Ohio river. The AGE HERALD holds exclusive membership at Birmingham in the Southern Associated Press, and thus enjoys monopoly of the morning field here for receiving and publish ing full telegraphic reports.
 The paper has been long established and enjoys good will and valuable patronage which cannot be taken away from it. It will no doubt fall into good hands and continue to be most important factor in the progress and development of this sec- ton of the South, growing and strengthen ing as Birmingham and this mineral sec ton develop and widen.
 Contracts for advertising and subscrip- tions will not be interfered with by traus- fer of the property, and the friends and patrons of the paper need not fear that the AGE HERALD will ever cease to perform the great journalistic work it has ever been it's pleasure to do.
 The AeE- HERALD is in Birmingham to stay.

THE bill introduced in the State Senate by Senator Culver prohibits the running of "excursion' trains on Sunday and not freight trains, as some think. The custom of running excursion trains on Sunday has been provocative of much crime, especially in the Black Belt, where excursions for the negroes are often run on Sunday. Such excursions gather disorderly crowd |, which indulges ln drunkenness and fight ing, and ID several counties the white peo- pie have threatened to take the law in their own hands.

THE question of giving is now upper most in every mind. It may be better to spend a little money and have good time than hold on to it and feel mean. But on the other hand, if Christmas costs too much it will bring regret afterward Samuel Blinturn Peck puts it we'll in Demo- rests Magazine for December: "I think the giving of presents at Christmas is q pretty custom which American vanity and love of display have perverted into gross abuse. Expensive gifts should never be made except in those cases where the close ness of the tie by blood or marriage would render the gift or an equivalent in money not ndelicate. believe feeling of relief would pervade the land if sumptuary law were enacted and enforced forbiddiug the acceptance at Christmas of any gift of more than 50 cents in value, save in cases of suffering.'

HTHE BURGLAR.

On Christmas afternoon and evening "The Burglar' will be seen at O'Brien s opera house. As a rule burglars are not welcome during the holidays-but Augus- tus Thomas Burglar" can always have a hearing for the simple reason it is a famous play by famous author.
 The play, somewhat different from the usual order of dramatic offering, will be seen soon. Probably no other drama of the kind has the potency in drawing from all classes and conditions of people that is experienced by "The Burglar.' Young and old, rich and those less favored with the worlds goods, are equally absorbed with the story.' In home of wealth and refinement are all the scenes enacted, even where the burglary is attempted, though frustrated by the artless endeavors of a bright child of years.
 Little Lottie Briscoe, who appears as Eiitha, "rhe Burglars" daughter, is spoken of by the entire press as being the brightest child on the American stage. w. R. Ogden, the burglar, seems to be perfectly at home in the character. The play is elegantly mounted, and performed by an excellent company.

There are 215 cotton factories in North and South Carolina. These have sprung up in the last three or four years. The fact is, the census of 1890 is out of date. When the census of 1890 was taken there were 254 cotton mills in the south, representing an investment of S6l ,0o0, 900. Nowhere are 495, with a capital of S07 ,000 ,O00.

"A TRIP TO CHINATOWN. ]"

An event that Birmingham play-goers are sure to regard as of more than signal importance in amusement annals will be the coming to O'Brien's of Charles Hoyt's most famous farce comedy, "A Trip to Chinatown.' While the play is not new to this city, it has history that makes it's coming of more than usual interest. For 656 consecutive performances 1t held the boards at Hoyt's theater, New York, play
 ing to the capacity of the house. This has never been approached before, the longest run previous to that time being "Adonis' for 60S times, ending April r, 1886. When the play was removed from the Madison Square theater it was crowding the house, and had it not been for it's road engage ments previously made would probably be running there now. When the curtain ascends Wednesday evening on IA Trip to Chinatown,' the admirers of the play will see a production counterpart in every way to the farce comedy as given in New York, The scenery will be brought entire from New York, requiring one car for it's transportation, and It is safe to say that it is about the first farce comedy which has gone over the country requiring a carload of scenery to give 1t proper interpretation. Since the farce comedy was last seen in this city many new features have been added, and a mum Der of musical numbers that are sure to set everybody singing and whist ling them have been introduced

THE BRECKINRIDGELECrURE.

At O'Brien's opera honse, January B., 1895, ''Eras of American Developmen 1t and Their Great Men'' will be discussed by Kentucky's great orator. The subject se- lected will give Colonel Breckinridge ample opportunity to display his gift of oratory. Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Lee, Jackson, Grant and the other statesmen and soldier heroes of our country are to be touched upon, it is said, in masterly way, show ing the colonel as an original thinker, who has enriched himself with stores of the soundest learning and most generous cul- ture. The wholesome deductions of his fine intellect are said to compel assent, while lis exact appreciation of events and character extorts concurrence.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company has sold three months product of iron ahead-about 130, 900 tons. The fur naces nearly all sell their product for a month or two in advance. The manufac- turers, in making a bid on machinery, must know what they can get iron at, and hence they buy for future delivery. The output of iron in the United States will be about 5000 GOO tons for 1894, which is about donb ble the rate of last summer.

THE English colony OF Hawai-
should not be slow in expressing
gratitude to Mr.. Bush for becoming
the champion of their anti-Amer-
lean cause. At present Repuoll-
cans are watching with a deep, nay
almost breathless interest, to see Ii
the "half-white" Ka Lee will be
able to rear its new political bant-
ling to the point where the hoped
for restoration crow shall break
forth. Should Mr.. Bush's new
political game "burrid" continue
in good health until the arrival OF
the hour when it breaks into song,
both can depend upon having a
large and enthusiastic Republican
audience, chiefly Americ N, who
will applaud their international
antics and demand half dozen
encores for the Hawaiian political
manager and his British rooster.
