BURGLARS AT ELYToN. Some time dur ing Friday night burglars entered the resi- dence of MT. William Dupuy at Elyton and stole his vest containing $40 in money. No clue.
 AwFULLY HoT.-Y esterday was a sample of what old Sol eau do when he takes the notion. Although there was 8 breeze stir ring the weather was progressively hot and ice water and other cooling drinks were largely in demand.
 TRAVIS BYERs, the democratic nom- inee for the legislature in Blount, was in Birmingham yesterday. He is not only an able and enth usiastic democrat, but as one of the hosts at Biount Springs hotel, has friends and we'll wishers all over the country.
 A CEMETERY WALL.-The city is build- ing retaining wall along the cemetery bluff on Nineteenth street. It is of purple stone and will not only be tasteful, but serves to widen the street at that point. Sooner or later the whole street will have to be widened from the cemetery gate to Rush avenue.
 NEW ScIE NcE.-Mr Hodges, who lost his house by fire at Woodlawn, is a bag gage master. He was in a neIghboring city at the time of the fire and dreamed that his house was burning and that he was pulling out the trunks. This is telepathy, the tel egraphing of thought, and is the new science that has many believers.
 Mss DAISY RAwLEY.-This young lady, of whom Birmingham is so proud, has just finished a two years' music course in the schools of Dreydeu and after her summer vacation will spend the winter studying under the best masters of Paris. She is preparing for great career that will re- fleet honor on the city of Birmingham. 
 SAD AND LONELY Just across the street from the AdE- HERALD are the Kolb head quarters. There is lonely look about them through the day, sad and deserted gets around and the shadows are on the verandah those great leaders, whose fame for brief season filled the world, come out and sit down and discuss how soon they will be heard of no more forever.
 Coop WORK OF THE WHEELMEN. At q meeting of the Birmingham Cycieclub on Friday night the captains report showed the following points with reference to bringing in election returns from the back woods precincts on election day. The club sent out thirty couriers who reported twenty five voting places They covered total distance of 1049 miles, or an average of thirty five miles for each mau. Messen- gers from all but three places arrived be- fore o'clock, or within four hours after , fore the count of the city votes had been completed. Not single man failed to get full and accurate report from his box.
 RETU RMS TO WAsHINGToN. General Shell ley ,who came home to vote returns oWash ington this morning. A good story is told on him, illustrating in what profound awe he is held by the opposition whom he routed so in 1892. On the morning before the election bis arrival was announced in the papers. On the day of election a demo- crat, meeting q Kolbite, said; "There are no tickets at Lrondale, Blossburg or Coal burg, and the whole county is going for Oates.'' Said the Kolb man: 'sI thought | when saw that man Shelley had come something was gwine to happen to us.' The general is a political hero in Jefferson, loved by the democrats, feared by all the enemies of democracy.
 A BOLD BURaLAR.-Mr. Will Leslie of Miller's undertaking establishment was the victim of midnight marauder Friday night. While asleep in the rear room of the establishment some one entered and stole his pan taloons, con taining fine gold watch, knife, keys and some small change. A fine double. barreed shotgun was also taken. The thief waY evidently only looking for money and valuables, as there were a number of pieces of wearing apparel close by, which were undisturbed by the burglar. It was a bold piece of work, inasmuch as it was in coffin shop, which is open at all hours. Mir. Leslie says he is willing the burglar shall have the pantsloons, but would like very much to have the watch and gun returoed.
