CLOSING CONCERT
Of the Season by the MendeIssohn Society at
 Seals Hall Last Night Grand Affair.

The fourth and last concert for the sea- son by the Mendelssohn society at Seals hall last night was by far the grandest effort yet made by that popular society.
 There was large and fashionable au- dience present and each number on the programme was received with an ova- tion.

what is known as tart" that it cannot 1 be conformable to the ordinary rules of morality, nor limited in it's treatment of any question by preconceived notions of propriety It is law unto itself-judge, advocate and jury. In common with some of the greatest humbugS now af hicting the American people, this species of "art' run to seed is to be held account able for many fin de sieele monstrosities, and depends upon an undercurrent of turbd morality to control the specific gravity of decency. To load a book on French, particularly Parisian life, with numerous phrases of more than doubtful significance is to graft8upon it an inde- scrlbable charm for those who proceed on the principle, omne ignotum pro malo, which may be taken to mean that some scripture may be of private interpreta- tion. Scientists tell us now that we recog- nize a color as red only when the light from other colors is admitted and we per ceive it's inability to reflect these. May not this principle maintain also in the do- main of art and morals? A picture is bad when it fails to awaken in us the sense of the true and beautiful; book is bad when it appeals only to that which is of the lower nature, stirred by morbid curiosity or responding to the merely an- imal side of humanity
 All the light of the sun may fall upon an object and yet the light from it is of only one kind. All the colors of the rain bow are poured upon the violet. but it's color is blue and the tender green grass is bathed in the bewildering glories of the prism, but the refreshing hue of the green alone reaches the eye. All the art of one of the greatest artists may be ex- pended upon Trilby, but the light from it is of a sckly yellow, set off at times by flashes of genuine wit and softened by gleams of real pathos the suffering of human soul, but none the less oppressive

AT THE OPERA HOUSE,

The Baldwin-Rogers Comedy com pany for their second nights programme presented Hacks Sweetheart" to a small audience. There was some inn provement in the cast over the first night and little more energy displayed by the actors. The play has some good streaks, and the actors took advantage of them, and were rewarded for their pains by liberal applause. The spe- cialty work of MT. F. H. O'Connor was decidedly clever, especially his dancing. Miss Paige also showed herself to be very clever in her speciality work The Misses Rogers did fairly well.
 At matinee today Little Pard" is the bill. and for tonight Leap for Life" Popular prices prevail.

ALABAMA IRON
To Be Offered to European Manufacturers. Tennessee Coal and Iron Company to Send
 an Agent With Samples Abroad.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company have decided to extend their market into foreign countries. and in pursuance of that policy they will in a few weeks send a representative to Europe to solicit orders.
 Several shipments of sample pig iron will be made in advance of the agents departure and will be awaiting him at the various cities to be visited. With these samples he will make tests and demonstrate to the entire satisfaction of the manufacturers of those countries the feasibility of using Alabama iron
 The furnaces of this district have for a long time made iron cheaper than it could be produced in other districts, not only in America, but any where on this globe, England not excepted.
 The shipments to be made in advance of the agents departure will go in cot ton vessels as ballast and thus cheapen the freight, placing it at merely a nomi- nal figure.
 The agent will visit the different Eu- ropean commercial centers and open up agencies, which will be placed in charge of competent men. MT. James Bowron, secretary and treasurer of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, in speaking of the new policy of the com pany in trying to get foothold in the European market, felt confident of suc- cess, though he said it would take some time to build up much of trade.
 Alabama iron manufacturers are be- ginning to reach out for trade. No lon ger will they confine themselves to the American market, but will hereafter be active competitors for foreign business. As stated in the Age-Herald few days ago. General Manager Nichols of the Howard Harrison Iron company of Bes- semer is now en route to Japan to bid on two large orders for pipe.

Notable Visitors

A portly gentleman of middle age dressed in the southern style slouch hat and Prince Albert coat buttoned at the waist walked up Nineteenth street from the Morris hotel yesterday about noon By his side was a brown-eyed, black haired young woman, very handsomely dressed, and evidently very much devoted to her companion. They looked at the show windows as they passed along and were evidently visitors to the city The couple was Bishop Jackson and his bride! They came up from Montgomery and stopped over couple of hours. They took the o'clock train for Anniston The bishop and his bride did not take bridal tour. but spent the honeymoon at Rose land

The Apotheosia of the Washerwoman,

The Apotheosls or the WaSherwOman. To the Age-Herald:
 Is it not time for the Trilby craze to die a natural and much to be desired death? This beautiful, but illiterate and immoral washerwoman has held the attention of the public much beyond the usual period assigned to even the most graceful type of a class useful to those who are accustomed to wear clean linen but not especially so to those who think that life Is something more than a series of escapades aomng the demi-monde of Paris.
 Granting for the moment that the book is 'artistic;" that the revelations of a certain phase of Parisian life are very interesting and that Trilby her. self is just too lovely for anything" what person can rise from a perusal of the story feeling that the time has been well spent or that the intellect is stim- ulated, the moral sense quickened or the love for the true, the beautiful and the good has been revived and fresh- ened? Have we not a right to demand that art shall be something more than merely artistic, and the graces of true womanhood shall not be circumscribed by mere beauty and wistfulness?
 I grant that the first appearance of Trilby, in the soldiers cap and the slip pers down at the heel, Is calculated to arouse the latent feeling of chivalry, which was not entirely destroyed by the ridiculous ambitions of Don Quixote, and that wistfulness in a pretty woman is a mighty fetching card among art students of the masculine persuasion in any city. Perhaps Du Maurier meant to indicate by the demoralized condi- ton of the aforesaid slippers that while the enclosed feet were beautiful still in a moral sense they were a bit run down at the heels and fitly typified the character of the owner. If so, it is a tribute to his perception of the tendency of his book.

 Mir Gibbins, attorney for pr. Buch- anan, appeared in the clerks office of the supreme court of the United States yesterday and sought to docket an ap- peal against the ruling of United States District Judge Addison Brown of New York, who had indorSed on-~the papers in the case: q see nothing herein to war rant a writ of habeas corpus" The clerk found nothing in the rules of pro- cedure of the court to justify him in recording the appeal, and he declined to do so. Gibbins then left the building, presumably to seek Associate Justice Henry B. Brown, in whose circuit the case has arisen. It is not deemed likely, however, in view of the unanimous ac- tion of the supreme court in denying the motion made for writ of super sedeas in Buchanans case that any in- dividual justice will interfere.
 The tenth annual reunion of the sur vivors of the Sultana disaster was held in Defiance, O., yesterday. About twenty-five of the survivors were pres ent. The city was in gala attire in honor of the event. On the night of April 26, 1S65 the Sultana left Memphis for the north, bearing a load of union soldiers just parolled from southern prisons. The boat was crowded to it's utmost capacity When about nine miles above the city the defective boiler of the steamer blew up, wrecking the upper deck and setting fire to the boat. Hundreds perished in the flames or were drowned in the muddy waters of the river. How many will never be known. The whole country was filled with hor- TOT at the news of the disaster. It is expected that the next reunion of the Sultana survivors will be held in Mem- phis
 The Chicago Mail recently sent letters to leading men of both parties, senators and representatives in congress, mem- . bers of national and state committees, governors and members of state legisla- lures, asking them if, in their opinion, Grover Cleveland was candidate for a third term, and if so does he expect to run as democratic or republican candi- date, or as candidate of a third party formed by supporters of gold standard in both organizations. The first install ment of replies, which was published yesterday afternoon, show there are a surprising number of persons who be- lieve that MT. Cleveland is third term candidate on the gold standard. It is worthy of note however, that If he is such a candidate he will receive little encouragement from republicans even from those who may agree with him in his financial views. The responses show that the tariff is still the leading issue, and that no man who has declared him. self against protection and whose ad ministration has been arrayed against it can secure the support of the repub- licans of the country Responses from democrats show that they are widely di- vided in their opinions. They are either warmly favorable. Democrats who think he may be a third term candidate, how ever insist that it must be as a candidate of some other party than their own.

Uncle Sam's representative in Japan has tried to put his hand in the political pudding. He has urged upon Japan the policy of compliance with Russia's de- mands. In the meantime Japan winks slyly, for she knows the whole of Europe will combine against Russia at a mo- ment's notice. Japan isn't frightened and the bear may growl all he wants to; he won't get the free ice port

It has been noised abroad in the county that the city of Birmingham now makes a farmer pay $25 license before he can sell a beef on the streets. This is not so. The city imposes a license on stock dealers, and not on the individual owner. The farmer can come in and sell his COW or calf without paying any tax. But it is a safe plan for those who have cattle to sell to turn them over to the stock yards. The fee for the sale is small and the seller is apt to get better price than by running around over the town. It might not be bad idea to require stock to pass through the stock dealers, and to require the dealers to see that the cattle are free from disease and keep a register of them, so that it would be more difficult for stolen cattle to be sold
