A JUBILEE CELEBRATION. .

Fifty years is long time-.nuch more than the average lifetime. Men, there. fore, naturally note such periods. Just now Messrs. Perry Davis 6 Son of Provi- denee, R. L., the proprietors of Pain. Killer, are celebrating the jubilee of that good old household remedy, and have doubled the capacity of their bottles with out increasing the price. This will of course make Pain- Killer more popular than ever. For fifty years it has been the family medicine chest in coun tless homes in every country on the globe. Once given trial, it stays in any home, where, when anything happens, the bottle is reached for.
 When one reflects that two years is the average life of patent medicine, these fifty years prove very plainly that if Pain. Killer had not been all that it claims it would have gone into oblivion long years ago. The old limitations of Pain Killer have gone the way of all substitutes, and the newer ''just as goods'' are following on, for as long as some things are recog. nized as better than others Pain Killer will be recognized as the best and quickest relief for internal or external pain.
 When anything happens to you or yours, nine times out of ten you can cure it your self with Pain. Killer. 9-7-eod lot

BEAUTIFUL VOICES,

JAMES AND AGNES THOMSON AT SEALS
 MUSIC HALL NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.
 Speaking of the voices of James and Agnes Thomson, which will be heard at Sesls' hall next Friday night, the Chicago Globe says:
 The baritone voice of MT. Thomson is powerful and resonant and he has pecu- liar dramatic style which makes his work very effective. Agnes Thomson is a petite, graceful woman, and one wonders when her sweet, bird like voice breaks into song where so much melody comes from. If realism in music were possible she may be said to have shown it yesterday in Scotch dopops Spanish song, which she gave in such saucy, piquant and altogether fin ished manner that one could fairly hear the guitars and tamborines of sunny Spain.

THE HERALD'S HERESY.

The New York Herald breaches It's readers lay sermon every Sunday. Several of it's readers have requested the Herald to stop this feature, and others have requested that 1t be kept up. The Herald had better stop its sermon-it does more harm than good. Not that secular newspaper has no right to teach the broad truths of reli- zion as well as political economy. Such teaching is not only privilege, buta duty. There is no domain of science, economy or religion that Is not embraced In the pro. vince of a newspaper. But the Herald does harm because 1t substitutes morality for religion. It starts out to preach a ser- mon and winds up with an essay on morals. It is this sailing under false colors, this gaining the sympathy of it's readers under false pretonse that does harm. In trying to avoid wounding the breaches sermon 50 broad aud far-reach. ing that it steps outside the domain of rec ligion. The idea is already too prevalent that man can get to heaven on his moral ity. Colonel IngersoIl teaches and prac- tices morality. The young man who said that he had kept the commandments from his youth up was lost because he lacked the one thing needful. A man must have some dogma or doctrine or religious prin- ciple to guide his life. Without 1t he is like ship with all sails sst but no rudder. He will sail round and round, but will never reach haven nor Heaven. Religion embraces morality, but it is more than that.

 SARY.

The Alabama Christian Advocate has the following well deserved notice of one of Birmiagham's leading institutions; and the AGE HERALD would add its indorse- ment to the remarks concerning Dr. Do. zier and the institution of which he is the head:
 "The Southern Medical Dispensary is the leading institution of It's kind in Birming- ham, and has been instrumental in effect ing the cure of many serious cases and thus carrying healing and happiness to many homes. Dr. o. T. Dozier, head of the Southern Medical Dispensary, gives his en- tire time and personal supervision to the work, and brings to bear careful medical training in the best colleges of the land and long and valuable experience in the treatment of special diseases.

THE action of the Demo cratic Conven- ton of the Sixth Congressional district yesterday, in adjourning without making a nomination, is perhaps without prece. dent in this State; and it is as yet uncertain as to what the result will be. Just what authority convention has to recommit question to the people, after mistrial, with. out action of an executive committee is not exactly understood; but it now seems to be In order that the executive committee meet at once aud acquiesce in the plan adopted by the representatives Of the people.

 IT is now argued that living is cheaper in America than in England. The new tariff law reduces the cost of all the neces- saries of life. Corn and wheat are cheaper here, for England buys much of her bread from us, and the cost to the consumer has the freight added. Cotton goods are neces- sarily cheaper in this country, where the cotton is grown and much of it man nufac. tured. Woolen goods will now be cheaper, on account of free wool. Clothing is just as cheap. Those who have visited England and know from experience, say that an or. dinary suit of clothes can be bought here for the same prics as in Englaod, bus tailor made suits of the higher grade cost more in this country. Fuel costs more here-coal is quoted at about the same price per ton in Birmingham, Ala, and Birmingham, Eng. Iron is made at as low cost of production in the Birmingham district as in England, and all the house. hold utensils and farming implements made of iron~Hnd steel cost no more. In :act, we see our gln works.and other manu- featuring enterprises shipping their output to the old world. Furniture and all wooden articles will hereafter cost less ip this country on account of free lumber, Beer is cheaper in England, but the Amer ican workingman, having good and strong food, does not need beer.

without regard to the result. It says that the ratio is merely an incident in the resto- ration of silver to it's old place. Secretary Hoke Smith, who, the Consultation asserts, represents the views of Mr. Cleve- land, is quoted by the same paper front his Atlanta speech on Friday night as follows: Mir. Smith referred to the free and un- limited coinage of silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1, by the United States alone, and de- clarcd it to be a plan utterly at variance with sound business principles and fraught with iucalculable evil. He did not wish his position misunderstood. He was thorough bimetallist, strong in his faith, and no one could be more unalterably op- posed to the adoption of a single gold stan dard. Such a course would bring about contraction of the currency calculated to cripple industries and to lessen the de- mand for supplies. The injury inflicted by a single standard currency had been re- gently demonstrated abroad, and the evil effect had been felt here upon the products of this country raised for foreign consump- tion. He believed these evil effects could be lessened by preserving the present per capita of currency, but where three fourths of our great cotton product goes abroad, three-fourths of the injury could not be reached except by the success of bimetal. lism in the places of consumption. So th en, aside from the minor sad unimpor- tant detail of ratio, we understand there is no difference between the Constitution and MT. Cleveland friend, Smith. This is a revelation, but we are glad it is true.
