 Grasped an Idea of Our Size.
 Comedian William E. Hoey once en- conntered q distinctly ingenious British GIT. Tho comedian formed his acquaintance during ono of the Lucania's incoming voy- ages, and the two breakfasted in New York together.

 The Britisher took him seriously. "Sure, for dinner if not for lunch, he answered. And, accompanied by the actor, now thor oughly alive to the humor of the incident, he found himself few minutes later in tho line of ticket buyers in the Grand Central depot.
 An excursion ticket to San Francisco, stopping at Chicago station on returns" he ordered.
 Tho ticket agent put about quarter of mile of pasteboard under his stamp, pound ing it for a minute or more, thrust it be- fore the explorer and expectantly awaited payment.
 ''When does the train gof" asked the Englishman.
 ''In 10 minutes" was tho answer.
 'How much is its''
 "One hundred and thirty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
 ''Whats" tho Englishman .gasped. How far is itf'' ''Three thousand miles,"
 ''Old Hoss" was right behind to catch the falling form, and, as he guided the half fainting Englishman back to the cab, wherc he snuggled helplessly in & corner, tho single exclamation escaped, What country l''--New York Times.

The following might be taken as an il- illustration of very broad hint. A great military man says that he once sat next Prince Bismarck at a dinner party, and at very slight distance from tho old em- peror. Bismarck was literally loud in his expressions of gratitude and loyalty to his sovereign.
 ''He has great generosity of disposi- tion," he declared. "One day he said to me, How can I show my sense of the many obligations I am under to your
 II replied that it was unnecessary, but that if he would send me. a few bottles of a certain hook he possessed it would be very welcome. That was five years ago.. and," said the prince, raising his voice, "he has not sent them yet. <"

A large audience, in fact, the largest of the season, greeted "The Hustler" as he appeared before them on the boards at O'Brien's last night. John T. Tierney in the title role was in excellent trim, ,and was ably seconded by Harry Watson as An heuser Bush. Miss Alice Hutchings AS Anna Dante and Irene Hernandez as Carrie Dun were exceptionally clever. The others in the large cast were In accord with the leading artists, and the entire performance from beginning to end was most enjoyable In fact, at times the actors were forced to repeat their lines on several occasions. The performance was a success, and the special ties were all that could be desired.

WILLIAM '. ALDRICH
Named for Congress by the Re-
 publicans
Of the Fourth Dlstrict-Resolu- tions Adopted-A Harmoni-
 ous Meeting.

CALERA, Sept. 5.-[Special. 1.-The re- publican congressional convention for the Fourth Congressional district met here to- day and was largely attended, there being 15O delegates from the five counties.
 The meeting was called to order and Hon. George H. Craig of Dallas county was named as temporary chairman, and finally as permanent chairman.
 There was only one ballot cast and that for William F. Aldrich of Aldrich, Shelby county, and his nomination was made unanimous.
 In accepting the nomination MT. Ad- rich made speech which was we'll re- ceived. Among other things he said he jndorsed the resolutions adopted by the convention and would use every honorable means to secure his election. He used the same old stereotyped denunciatory phrases of frauds at the ballot boxes and said he was unqualihedly against such methods.
 Mir. Craig's speech of acceptance of the chairmanship was good one of it's kind and received the due applause given on such occasions. Two of the resolutions adopted were as follows:
 FAIR ELECTIONS.
 We affirm that honest elections are the foundation of all honest government. Un- less free access is allowed to the ballot box, where each citizen can cast one ballot for the candidates of his choice without fear, coustraint, threats or intimidation from anyone, aud, after all have voted, 10 have the declared result to be the exact sum of the votes cast without change, alteration or addition, and finally to have the candi- dates receiving majorities inducted into their respective offices without let or hin- drance, allowing no technicality to defeat the declared will of the people, no govern ment by the people can exist.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That we de- mand free elections and fair count as the only means of preserving republican form of government.
 NICARAGUA CANAL.
 Believing the manifest destiny of these United States is to absorb in quiet and peaceful way all the intervening territory not now occupied by them between the north pole and the Isthmus of Darien, and also believing that the construction of the Nicaragua canal would be an immediate and lasting benefit to the whole country, and especially to Alabama, and that this canal in course of time would be wholly within our boundaries; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we favor the construction the Nicaragua canal by Americans, and under government aid and control.
 Among the prominent politicians pres ent were Gen. J. w. Burke of Jackson vile, Chancellor Turner, c. c. Cadle, Jr. and w. R. Moseley, Jr., of Birmiug- ham, Judge c. w. Buckley of Montgom- cry, Rev. Sam Adams of Blob county, E. T. Witherly of Shelby, the "irrepressible Bill'' Stevens, Rev. A. A. Senserbaugh and J. s. Preutiss of Shelby -
 Bill Stevens made speech indorsing the nomination and the resolutions as whole. Moseley, Jr., 0. w. Buckley, Sam Adams and L. l.. Williams of Sylacauga.
 The convention was very orderly and everything passed off harmoniously.

WHO DIED FIRST?


A Question of Importance to the Heirs OF
Two Victims of Battle Creeks Disaster.
Among the persons killed in the fright
full disaster at Battle Creek, Mich, a
few weeks ago were Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
E. SAKE. So far as the evidence showed
both died instantly and simultaneously.
Nevertheless the question as to whether
the man or the woman died first is one of
considerable importance to the heirs of
both, and an inquiry is already afoot to
discover if possible whether there was
any calculable difference of time be-
tween their deaths.
If it could be demonstrated, for in
stance, that the man was the first to die,
his property would pass to the heirs of
his wife, whereas if it were shown on
the other hand that the wife died first
her estate would fall to the heirs of her
husband. Considerable property is in
volved in this question and the case is
one of peculiar interest.
In cases involving somewhat the same
question of fact the law has held that the
woman, being supposedly the weaker
person, would naturally be the first to
expire. In the present instance, how
ever, where the death of the persons ap-
peared to have been simultaneous. the
courts, if it is brought before them, will
encounter problem of peculiarly vex-
atious character.-New York Herald.
