WOMAN AT ATLANTA.

She will be there in large quantities, but from no section will so representative a specimen of woman come as the women of Alabama, who will lend their head, hearts and hands to the noble and useful work of pushing forward the resources of their native State. The good women of Birmingham have gone into the work with the zest and energy that character izes their every action. and their part of oflthe programme is sure to be a success In fact, Birmingham women make suc- cess of everything they undertake. This is true of them as a sex, but more par ticularly true of the women of our own home.
 It remains now with the business men to do their part. and do 1t according to their promises. Let it not be said that in the achievement women went where their husbands, brothers and sweethearts would not or could not follow them Rathetr let the citizens of Birmingham stand up to the needs of the hour, and help the women's auxiliary of the Commercial Club make the Alabama exhibit at the Atlanta exposition a thing to be proud of

To the Age-Herald:


 Birmingham, May Son Tuesday evening was present when Capt. Joseph Y. Johnston addressed the students of Howard college at East Lake in advo- cacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The illness of member of Captain Martins family recalled him home before the debate began and gen. tleman' present suggested that should take Captain Martins place and reply to Captain Johnston. I declined to do so as a matter of course, and was amused to learn this morning from the Daily States report of the speaking how narrowly I escaped a "good drubbing" at the hands of Captain Johnston.
 It would be unjust to the reporter of the State to deprive him of the happi- ness he anticipated, and for his informal ton and guidance would suggest that Captain Johnston may have the pleasure of trying 1t on me whenever it suits his convenience to do so, and at time and place agreed upon.

The Cincinnati Times-Star refers tr

The Cincinnati Times-Star refers to the fact that the free-16-to-1 coiners of this country are always pointing to France as an example We should follow. France has the gold standard. Every five-franc piece Corresponding to our dol lar) is redeemable in gold. Seventeen years ago the coinage of five-franc pieces was stopped. Not five-franc piece has been coined in France during this period. The Bank of France today holds $780, 100000 of gold and $225,000.000 of silver, while the United States treasury has only about $1 in gold against $4 in silver. The Bank of France has nearly twice as much gold as the Bank of England. The entire volume of money in France con sists of $s25, 900 of gold and less than s50O,0o0.O0O of silver. The United States has now in use almost as much silver as gold It is apparent. therefore, that this country has been more liberal In it's treatment of silver than France.

Yesterday at matinee "The Pearl of Savoy" was the attraction, and tonight "The Little Coquette." The indictment weather on both occasions prevented large houses, but those who ventured out were well repaid, as each performance was very cleverly carried out. One ho- ticeable feature is the fact that small audiences have not prevented the actors from sending away every one well pleased.

Birmingham vs. Mobile and Mount Vernon.
 The all-absorbing topic in military cir cles is where the encampment will be held, and whether a brigade or regi- mental
 The special from Mobile to the Age Herald of yesterday conveying the in- formation that Mobile was the choice of twenty-nine companies of the thirty four reporting is more or less mislead- ing, in that the twenty-nine companes preferred Mobile to Mount Vernon, and the Age-Herald comedies that thirty four might be put in the same class pro- testing against Mount Vernon and pre- ferring Mobile as to choice of the two places, yet as a matter of fact, many of these companies prefer Birmingham to either Mobile or Mount Vernon, and the Age-Herald strongly protests against the Birmingham News advocacy of the troops going to Mobile in preference to Birmingham.
 Our campng grounds at East Lake cam not be surpassed by any place in Ala bama, the beautiful bay of Mobile not excepted.
 Leaving aside the sentimental side of the question, and viewing the economic which all tax payers are studying at the present time, East Lake, being centrally located, is the only place which the gov ernor could order a brigade encamp- ment without mourning any additional expense to the state. However, the Age Herald is not inclined to be selfish, and will concede Mobile to be the most suit able place for the First regiment, though we would like to have them with us, and East Lake to be the most suitable place for the Second and Third regiments.
 It would be a saving to the state of fully $5000 to have these last two regi- ments go into camp at East Lake rather than any other point, beirS clear sav- ing on account of the Second regiment of over $S500 alone at the average attend ance of the past four years and if they have the attendance in camp, as evi- denced by the adjutant-generals report for 1894, the actual saving will be in the neighborhood of $4750, very nearly B per cent of the entire appropriation-$15,0 900.
 Again. none of the officers deny the fact that much better discipline and bet ter training can be had from regiment al encampment than a brigade, as the. state forces are not centralized enough to get them we'll organized before the ten days are over, and the most efficient service and successful encampments ever held by the Second regiment were held at East Lake.

There is nothing more common than the extravagant ideas of real estate owners and promot- CTS of the vague hidden wealth which they imagine their property may hold. But on the other hand are the many we'll known cases of mineral deposits of un- doubted value which have not received the slightest development, this of course being due to any one of many good reasons. principally inaccessibility

This pa- per demands that the Republican plat form must be sound on the silver ques- tion, without straddling or equivocation, but straight out from shoulder to shoulder free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1. The Arizona Republicans views are exactly in accord with sentiment of Alabama Populists. They talk that way, and most of them swear they will vote that way

THE DIGNITY OF THE COURT

A wag visitor gives the following crit icisms of the courts of Jefferson county and city of Birmingham:
 Some of the judges are very strict in their rules as to the conduct of lawyers in the court room, and frequently show their power by enforcing petty rules and regulations. Such as not allowing smok- ing during sessions of the court not al- lowing lawyers to sit with their feet cooked upon chairs and tables. This last rule is hard to obey and cruel in the ex- treme. Lawyers, as a class, are tired, and it is a mighty comfortable position to slide down in your chair and cock your feet on'the trial table. Of course you eX- hibit to the gaze of his honor a certain part of your anatomy which nature pos sibly intended to be sat on. But in eX- posing it thus, you only do in fact that which you often do metaphorically, and judge is hard, indeed, who will not al- low you to assume this angle if you so de- sire.
 "A judge should not attempt to correct the personal habits of his client. If lawi yers sit up with their feet cooked on the trial table in the presence of the court, and chew tobacco and spit on the floor, what business is it of the judge, so long as they do not borrow his tobacco and spit on him? If a lawyer chooses to chew the end of lead pencil then run it up his nose, then into his ear. then back again into his mouth, why should the judge kick, so long as he does not run it into his eye? If he coughs and blows his nose necessarily so long as he uses his hand kerchief. you ought to be thankful he does not always use his fingers. It's all humbug, this notion some Jefferson county judges have of the dignity of a court. A court ought to be a free-and- easy place, where a fellow could 'slosh around judge ought not to have much starch in his shirt If the judge is simply a judge and no lawyer 'tis not to be expected that he will be able to ap- preciate the good solid comfort there is to be found in cooking ones feet up on a trial table, especially if the interrup- tions annoy the other fellows"

It developed that young fellow had a misunderstanding with cobbler about a pair of shoes and the cobbler was struck in the face. His as- sailant ran, but the cobbler caught him and raised his piteous though hoarse cry of police" A portly Greek ran up to where the crowd was, and thinking that some of the crowd were trying to rescue the cobbler's assailant, pushed some of them aside, and in the scrim- mage the much wanted pugilist escaped. The result was the Greek, who was i'm tent on helping justice, was arrested on a charge preferred by a small boy for cursing him, and he in turn preferred a like charge in retaliation against the boy.

The following from Consul MacBride
at Leith, Scotland, indicates what our
butter makers must expect if any of their
products seek a foreign market:
There are considerable quantities OF
butter imported from the United States,
but it has to be sold at lower figures than
that coming from any other quarter The
butter imported from the Unit,d States,
as rule, is inferior in quality, and is be
ing slowly superseded by the use of mar
garine, The best butter Is furnished by
Denmark. A very prominent dealer in
dairy products at Leith, gives it as his
opinion that the demand for butter from
the United States will cease to be of any
Importance unless a radical change be
speedily effected, both in the quality sert
here and in the style of marketing.
