Robert G. Ingersoll, the famous lawyer
and orator, is announced to appear upon
the lecture platform at the National Thea
ter, Sunday evening next. and deliver his
famous discourse on 1.-THE Foundations
of Faith.''
Col Ingersoll makes of life continuous
study of men and things. He has no fads
as most great men have, unless his love OF
home and family can be called such. An
eminent journalist once said that Inger-
soil was peculiar from the fact that he
had no peculiarities. He is essentially
an intellectual being of the world who roams
from one spot of mind interest to another,
profiting himself during his travels and
throwing away what believers would call
'chunks of wisdom to those he meets
on the way.

elected if nominated, and I would very much prefer to see a silver democrat honestly elected. Then, if our side should concede the nomination to the silver men we would have a much better chance to capture a ma jority o. the democratic members of the legislature. If there is a contest for governor every delegate would be elected on the money question, and wherever the silver men prevailed they would not only take the delegates to the state convention but everything else. If there Is no contest over the nomination for governor the issues would be on sena- torial lines. and I think, our side could win, because both Clarke and Oates are recognized as strong and capable men, and they have many personal friends on the silver side, who would support them if the issue was not made squarely on the currency question. Then it makes no difference what the governors views on the currency question are, he can do nothing one way or another to help the cause of free coinage"

National Perils.

There is an apparent lack of American independence. We submit to things that our fathers would have scorned to en- dure. Foreigners control our monetary existence Our fathers, in the days of the revolution, barefooted and bare backed. defied all the powers of Europe and dictated their own financial policy. They were thereby enabled to establish a government of the people. the credit of which was as good as the credit of any nation in the world; as good as specie. Now we are 7O.0OO.oo0 strong. The coun- try is girdled with steel and bounded with cable lines, so that every pulsation of sentiment is known and felt from one end of the country to the other Our coun- try is the grandest country God has ever given to any people: and yet, we. the American people. sit eupinely by and suf- fer our financial policy to be mapped out and controlled by foreigners and disbe- iievers.-Rev H. s. Williams. Presbyte- rian Memphis Tenn.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

No attraction at the theater can com pete with circus and to that fact is due lne smallness of the audience that Wit messed the production of "Virginius' by Lotus James and his excellent company al O'Briens opera house last night. Sells Bros circus was in town and drew sev- eral thousand, while only a few hundred went to the opera house.
 'Virginius" has often been played in Birmingham, but perhaps no actor has presented it more successfully than did MT. James and his company last night.
 It Is unfortunate that counter attrac- tions should come on the same dates with such splendid companies as the James combination.

Money Making.

Both the wise and the foolish seek money It is sought for by many for what it brings. Some seek it simply for itself. In Egypt there was an aristocracy of priests, in China of literature. in Eng land of birth, but in America 1t is an aristocracy of wealth. There are some things that even money cannot buy: but still money enters into everything. saves or spends his money reveals his character You may see his virtues in money, and you may also find his vices.- G c.

RELIEF
Invariably Found by the Use ol --.-. the Eleotropoise.
Suffered From the Effects of La Grippe for Twelve Months-Cases That
 Cannot Be Doubted. ~

I have thought sometime of writing you of my experience with the Electro poise, and my opinion of 1t. When re- ceived the Electropoise. more than two years ago, I was suffering with the eff fects of Ia grippe and had been for about twelve months. Some of the time I was in bed and quite feeble, and gradually losing ground. Soon after applying the instrument I found relief, and I contin- ued to improve until I was restored, and now am able to do as much work as could three years ago. It has given me renewed energy and has built up my sys- tenn generally. I have seen 1t tested in cases of typhoid and malarial levers, and cases of pneumonia, cole, Aux, cpoup, colds, la grippe, indigestion and rheuma- tism where not dose of medicine was given, and have never failed in one sin gle case, while some of them the doctors had abandoned. saying they could do them no more good. We applied the Electropoise and from the beginning they began to improve.
 These are cases that cannot be doubted and speak we'll for the Electropoise, as there are plenty of witnesses to testify. I have all faith in the Electropoise, and all my family use it on all occasions, and invariably find relief. I am yours, with kind regards,

CORBETfi 4CHUCKS IT UP"
He Doesn't Believe the Fight Can Be Brought 0fsih Public in This
 Country l.


 New Orleans, Oct. 12.-A special from San Antonio, Tex, to the Daily Item, says:
 Jim Corbett has given up all. hope of the fight being pulled off at Hot Springs He received a lengthy telegram from Governor Clark late last night inform ing him that the fight would not be per- mitted to take place in Arkansas.
 q have been convinced for some time" said Corbett this morning. that it is all most impossible to pull the fight off in public In this country, and that the only way that I can get a chance at Fitz is to meet him at some quiet spot with a few of the parties directly interested. 1 am ready to go out from here any day and meet Fitz in the ring and have it out with him. I am all at sea as to what is going to be done by the Florida Athletic club, but hope that something sure and definite may be decided upon within the next few days"
 Corbett had decided last evening to leave here Monday for Hot Springs to do the remainder of his training, but the attitude of Governor Clark put different phase on the matter, and he will remain here until 1t is known what Is to be done It Is seen that Corbett and the other members of his party are beginning to think that it is extremely doubtful whether the Florida Athletic club will be able to fulfill their promise of bring ing off the fight at all. Brady left for Hot Springs last night
