SOCIAL GOSSIP.

There are a large number of young men, who, from various reasons, left school at an early age and are now anx- ious to secure a better education by studying at night. The Young Mems Christian association, seeing the need of a night school, has issued the following letter to their members:
 From time to time calls have come to the association to start night classes in various studies. At the last meet ing of the board of directors the general secretary was instructed to ascertain the needs of our members, and if twenty or more wanted any study the aSSo- ciation would start such classes. If sat isfactory arrangements could be made would you join a class in penmanship, bookkeeping, arithmetic, shorthand, first aid to the injured, physiology, free hand drawing, mechanical drawing, debating society? What other class would you suggest? Write yes after any you would like to take and leave this at the association office at once. We must know by the 2d of September"
 Many replies have been received, and at the meeting of the board of directors next Tuesday it will be definitely de- cided which classes will be undertaken. The classes will be free to members of the association, but to secure regular at
 
 quired, the fee to be returned if the student attends 80 per cent of the ses- sions. Young men interested in any line of study would do we'll to communi- cate with Secretary Vinson at the asso- citation building, corner of Fourth aye nue and Nineteenth street.

A DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.

The California contingent of the Knights Templar held a reception in Boston and proposed to give to each guest as souvenir a small bottle of na- tive wine, bunch of flowers or parcel of fruit.
 An immense table in the center of the room was piled high with these souve- mfrs. When the guests began to make their appearance things began to get interesting. Men and women forgot to display even a semblance of good man ners and rushed pell mell past the hosts, pushing one another crowding, pulling and showing, caring for nothing except the table laden with gifts.
 Extra policemen had to be called in. and to the disgust of the hospitable Cal ifornians they were literally crowded out of their own quarters. Everything was forgotten in order that the "souve- mir" table might receive special attention, and when the extra force of walters, policemen, etc., appeared the scene truly beggared description.
 It is a sad commentary on the man. ners of the world. Doubtless many who attended the California reception would have acted becomingly, but they were showed under by an avalanche of people who acted like hoodlums, caring little for the manners and customs of polite society, but bound live or die, to get a s'souyenir."

vIcE.PREsIDENT WISDOM.

The vice-president of the International Iron Moulders Union of America is in Birmingham. the honored guest of the To- cal Trades Council. As orator on Labor Day he will meet with sincere welcome and careful attention from vast crowds which will be gathered to hear him.
 This years celebration of Labor Day, it is safe to say, will be the largest Br- mingham has ever witnessed. There seems to be more interest manifested in the details which go to make success of such a celebration as will be held next Monday. For the reason of this it is not necessary to go very far. The condition of the laboring classes is better and the outlook brighter than 1t has been in the past two or three years. Conservative leadership and wise cooperation on the part of the trade unions have brought about a better pnderstanding between capital and labor, and cool judgment has made possible a ready adjustment of ev- cry part when friction seemed inevitable.
 Mondays celebration will be one to re- fleet credit upon Birmingham. The city in turn welcomes Mir Wisdom as the rep resentative of her bone, brawn and SineW.

SOUNDING BRASS.

A nations money is nations blood: If the supply is reduced the country will languish. The greater the volume of money the higher the price of labor and the products of labor.
 Free silver would double the volume of money, and consequently double the prices of labor and the products of labor -Scottsboro Progressive Age.
 It is with just such words as these that "our friends the enemy" continue to chalk down little circle and crawl round and round 1t. Suppose the laborer does get money for his work, if he has td pay twice as much for his food and cloth ing will he be any better off? Go to! Go toi Such reasoning merely demonstrates that silver monometallism would get the country keyed up, getting twice as much and having to pay twice as much. In such arguments shows forth the sounding brass; tEe tinkling cymbal comes in when the cash drawer shuts on the working mans 50 cent dollar.

No appointment could be more pop ular than the suggested selection of the author of Ben Hurr'' as the librarian o3 congress in the event of MT. Spoffords s retirement. To honor such man is to honor the best impulse of the nation. General Wallace has endeared himself to the people of all sections by his spot less career as a soldier, diplomat and lit- erateur. He is one of those men as to whose politics no one will ever inquire. The purity of his life, the gentle infiu- ences of his books the tender strength of his character, have put him in a world of his own, above partisanship beyond the reach of political strife and untouch- ed by the sordid jealousies of life.

not at liberty to give anything further then, but we can now assure the public that the deal is consummated and that a rope factory will be in operation just as soon as the buildings and machinery can be gotten ready. and with such men at the head of the enterprise as Mir H. B. Pake, who will be the manager of the company, We can rest assured that no time will be lost. The factory, when completed, will be able to turn two bales of cotton a day into the choicest rope. This is no small matter, as you will note when you recall that two bales a day is about fiftyfour working month, and at $50 each. that is $1620 for the month, or double this amount running on full time, and remember that this is only for the raw material; now, when we take salaries of employees, etc., into consideration we will understand that this enterprise will rank among our leading ones in i'm portance.

TOPICAL TALKS.

MT. B. F. Roden-While in New York recently l went out one Sunday night to Madison Square Garden. The band play ed Dixie" and the crowd yelled as if they were southerners. The musical di- rector told me that Dixie" was more of a national air than any other. It is cheered both north and south. After the surrender the Federal bands marched through Washington playing Dixie" They said they had captured Lees army and Dixie" too.
 Ex-Confederate-Jus after the war the disbanded Confederate soldiers showed that they were true to the union The spirit of the revolution In Mexico ex- tended along the Pacific slope. It was proposed to unite the Pacific slope with Mexico and form a separate government The conspirators expected to get the as- sistance of the ex-Confederate soldiers in this effort to disrupt the union but the old COnfederates proved true to the union and the conspiracy fell through.
 One of the city belles, member of an old family of the county, never passes an old-fashioned residence in the suburbs without regarding it with peculiar inter- est. Her mothef tells her that the print of her bare foot is on one of the bricks in the chimney of the old-time house At the time the house was being built this young lady was girl Her father owned the brick-yard where the brick was made for the chimney. She wan dered down to the brick-yard one sum- mer day and stepped on one of the bricks before it had become hardened by the sun and left the imprint of her bare foot on it. If Trilby had done the same, the brick would now sell for as much as gold brick.
 Visitor-During recent trip to Wash ington I went through the capitol. The frescoing on the ceiling of the dome was executed by a foreign artist, and cost many thousand dollars I was struck by a scene called "The Spirit of War" driv ing out Tyranny and Oppression" The spirit of war was represented by young woman with a scourge in her hand. Tyranny and Oppression" were repre- scented by Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Robert Toombs and other southern leaders. Lee had a pathetic expression on his fea- lures, Jackson wore look of Christian resignation, while Toombs looked re- vengeful. I think this picture does gross injustice to the south The artist was paid from the treasury and he should not have discriminated against the south. The painting is rarely looked at closely by visitors, being high up. If it could be seen more closely more would be heard about it, especially from southern visitors.

Decide on ,73,s Crime, Too.

The free silver advocates ought to hold a conference to decide upon the date whent he demonstration of silver and the adoption of the British gold standard went into effect in this country. Some of them claim that it was in 1873 when 'the most atrocious crime of the century" was committed, while others fix the date at the time when the sherman law was re- pealed. We note that the Atlanta Con stitution says there was a steady and de- cided increase in the tax values in Geor- gia for twenty years up to 1892. when the highest point in values that Georgia has ever known was reached, and that since 1892 values have slumped because of the operations of the British gold standard" !" Now, if silver was demonetized in 1873, was not the gold standard in effect from that time until 1892, and during which time the tax values climbed to the high est point Georgia has ever known?-Sa- Vannah News.

The New York Way.

They do some things better in New York Our city chemists have been hay ing another tilt with the milk dealers and, in many instances the charges of selling adulterated or skinned milk were sustained by the analysis Chicago ordi- nances provide that the penalty for sell ing adulterated milk shall be a fine of not less than $20
 In New York a raid has been made sim liar to that recently made in this city on the milk vendors, and the judge promptly fined all who were guilty $50 each and sent them to prison for ten days.
 Chicago is ahead of New York in good many points, but when it comes to deal- ing with the purveyors of adulterated and colored milk we must yield the palm to our seahoard rival. A little of the jus tice that New York deals out to dealers of this character might profitably be tried here with the very best results.- Chicago Record.
