AT O'BRlEN'S.

Theater-goers will have an opportunity of seing Sidney R. Ellis magnificent pro- duction of Darkest Russia" which comes to O'Brien's opera house tomor- row night and Saturday evening and for the Saturday matinee. The Russian po- litical system is the theme around which the story of the play revolves. The field is an unlimited one, and offers unusual scope for stirring scenes. as well as for Spectacles and scenic effect. In the con- struction of the play the author, MT. H. Grattan Donnelly. has displayed inven- tive powers, and in a series of interesting scenes pictures in a graphic manner the laws by which the people are governed. The production is mounted in a beautiful manner and an exceptionally strong com pany tells the tale. The author has woven through the story strong com edy element which throws bright and cheerful humor over it. The American colonel from Kentucky and the German baroness keep the audience in a happy state of merriment from the opening to the final scene.

COMING OUR WAY.

After the crops have been hauled there will undoubtedly be a period of remark able activity in railroad betterment. Many of the roads cannot longer defer the laying. of new rails and the putting in of additional sidetracks. AsNoted in the local columns of the Age-Herald, the roads centering at Birmingham have be- gun this work in response to the de- mands of the industries. The movement will be- general throughout the country in a short while and Birmingham will reap substantial benefits. If we are not making steel by that time we will at least furnish a great deal of the iron from which the. steel will be made. In this connection it is interesting to note that the ''Bessemer craze" has led to the neglect of the manufacture of touh- dry irons at atsPittsburg and other eenters. Here again Birmingham is ready to meet the. demand. We are in the swim, which ever way the tide runs.

MILLS IS FOR MORRISON.

 Asked by a reporter of the Washington Post who would poll the largest vote he replied:
 'William R. Morrison of Illinois is, Tn my judgment, many thousands Of votes stronger than any other whom we could name. Morrisons makeup is very much like that of General Jackson. He has strong Democratic convictions that no pressure of friend or foe could make hlm abandon. His sympathy is earnestly with the masses. He is for equal law equal burdens and equal benehts. lie has advocated these principles and stood immovably by them throughout his pup lie life He has the confidence ot the Democratic people everywhere. With good clear, unequivocal declaration or Jacksonian Democracy and Morrison, man like Jackson, to stand on It, we can win"

AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

That is happy idea of the Alabama Board of Managers, the setting apart of days for the different towns of the State during the period of the exposition.
 In no other way, perhaps, could the diversity of our state be shown. Each town has something sui generis in the way of trade and products, and an ef- fective presentation thereof will open the eyes, not only of strangers, but of Ala bamians, to our varied and wonderful resources. Of courss it is only contem- plated that the principal towns of the different sections shall make showing. The Age-Herald suggests that schedule of the different "town" days be made out, so that ample time for preparation may be given.
