The performance in Moore's ball, Avon- dale, last night for the benefit of the poor by local talent, was one of the most sue cessful dramas ever rendered in this section by amateurs.
 A large and cultured audience greeted the actors when the curtain rose in the first act, and the interest and enthusiasm did not abate until it fell in the last act.
 The play was rendered without hitch or hesitaney, the acting was easy and natural, the plot pathetic, as well as amusing, and every part was well sustained But special mention is due Miss Blanche Scholar, whose interpretation of the role of Hester Thorne was most excellent and whose articulation, stage presence and facial ex- pression were splendid; and to Miss Hattie Price, whose rendition of Susie Gaylord won much applause. The other honors were carried off by MT. George Hays as Chips, Edgar Lupsey as Titus Turtle, $. T. Schoolar as city nabob, and Mrs. c. U. farrell as Lucretia Gerrish.
 All in all every performer deserves much credit, and Mir. c. w. Moss, who had tbe play in charge, is to be congratulated upon its splendid success. It will be repeated tomorrow night, and those who attend will witness a performance of high order and contribute to worthy cause.
 The music by the Arion club, singing by Miss Milie Price and quartette from Bir- mingham, as well as comic recitations by John Vollmers, were pleasant features of the evening.

Gambling on Pigeon Races.

Gambling on the flight of carrier pigeons in and around New York is the newest of illegal sports carried on by men who pre- fer to mako money by riskipg it to earning it by legitimate means. If it is not abso lutely undeniable that the birds arc being flown designedly for the purpose of gam bling, it is certain that there is lively bet ting on the result. And the astonishing feature of this gambling game is that it is carried on with the Brooklyn bridge as 0 starting point
 Tho men who have introduced this new form of gambling assert that it will soon become a popular pastime for gentlemen of sporting procliyities There isno ques- tion but that thousands of dollars have been won and lost on the birds.
 There is regular ''book' made on the races. One can wager his money on the chances of a bird running first. second or third, just as he can win or lose on the horses. Then again there is an opportu- nifty to ''place bet'' on time. practice which is similar to the ''under or over" bet on the race track. 1t often happens that certain bird is so fast that he has no competitors. In such cases he flies against time. If he is a record holder, the bets are made that he either will or will not break the record.

THE HERALD'S SERMON(?)

The New York Herald took as text last Sunday ''Thy faith hath made thee whole, |" and preached a regular faith cure sermon. The Herald entirely misconceved the true purpors of the passage quoted, and its at- tempt at sermonizing only goes to prove that editors should let the preachers do the preaching. The Herald took the meaning of the text in a physical sense, whereas it's true meaning has spiritual purport. The misconception concerning this passage is due to faulty translation. It should read, "Thy faith hath saved thee.' The woman was spiritually healed, and that cure wss wrought in her which is the proper fruit and effect of faith. The heal ing of her bodily infirmity was mere in- cident to prove to her that the faith she showed was the true and genuine faith. The true mission of Christ was to save souls, and whatever work He did in the restoration of the diseased and smtten body was mere external manifestation of His purpose of love and sympathy, and was designed to gain admittance to the soul or to prove that the man was received and adopted as true child.

A MEETING IN BOSTON 10 AID THE COLoRED
 INSTITUTE AT TUsKEGEE, ALA.
 HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY, l
 CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. r, 1894. 1 To the Age-Herald:
 venture to send to you an account, taken from the Boston Herald of today of meet ing in Trinity church, Boston-an edifice, by the way, which Richardson, the south- ern architect, designed, and of which Phil lips Brooks was rector for many years-at which the Tuskegee institute was the sub feet of some notable addresses. The excur- sion of Senator Hoar and the Home Market club into Alabama politics doubtless gave the people of the state a certain contempt for the interest which Massachusetts peo- pie may manifest in their affairs. l be- lieve too, that you have school of politi- clans among you who go out of their way frequently to profess their utter distrust of the Wealthier people of the east in general. 1 have thought, therefore, that it might be worth while to print these speeches in order to show that the ofhcious meddIing oi Senator Hoar and the par tisan activity of an organization like the Home Market club entirely mis- represent the true feeling of the east. It is particularly desirable that the white people of Alabama properly appreciate the efforts of these philanthropists to aid in the laudable task which the state has itself un- dertaken-the task of fitting its negroes for decent citizenship; for surely the whites themselves must in the end profit vastly by any relief from the load of ignorance with which their own intelligence has been bur. dened.
 Our common Americanism is seriously weakened by such blundering as Senator Hoar's; it should be strengthened by any wise manifestation of the good will of one community to another. Very respectfully,
 WILLIAM GARRoTT BROWN.
 The account of this meeting in the Bos- ton Herald says:
 A splendid testimony to the value of the work done for the .colored race by the Tus- kegee Normal and Industrial institute of Tuskegee, Ala, was paid last night in

EMpLoYERs' LIABILITY BILL.


 The AGE-BERaLD publishes In this issue the employers liability bill, introduced in the House by Hon. s. w. John of Jeffer- son. Much interest is felt in this measure in the Birmingham district. Several of the largest ployers say that its passage will work great hardship to them and will deter manufacturers from starting up other plants here. If this will be it's effect no one wants it enacted into law. An em- ploye had rather have a job and take the risk of getting hurt, than have, no job at all. The first thing is to get indus- tries here. The Legislature is now con- templating the passage of laws that will induce man ufacturers to come to Alabama, and if 1t passes a law that will scare them off all it's work will be for naught.
 The Mobile Herald, in speaking about this employers liability bill, says: "The complaint of capital is that the present laws of Alabama are all against it and tend to prey upon it, and therefore 1t will go to other fields where this is not the case. There is a bill now pending to make it worse than ever for capital in Alabama. It proposes to make it crime and send the employer to the penitentiary for injuries to employees. When this bill becomes a law, if it ever does, it will be the death knell of progress in this State." The bill is not so bad as the Herald makes out. It does not propose to ''send the employer to the penitentiary for injuries to employees. ,"
