conducting such vigorous and successful
campaign against China, is graduate of
Vassar college and received nearly all her
education and religious training in Amer
lea. In 1871, when the japanese govern
ment decided to educate ten Japanese girls
in American schools, Stematz Yamakana,

chosen as one of the candidates for the
honor. Stematz entered the family of
Rev. DR.. Leonard Bacon at New Haven,
and her education was begun under DIR.
Bacon's watchful eye.
In 1881, the ten years having expired,

ideas She still loved Japan, however, and

lowing tribute to Maj. Frank Y. Ander- son, chairman, and MT. N. F. Thompson, secretary of the board of managers for the Alabama exhibit:
 The Alabama board of managers for the Cotton States and International EX- position of this state evinced their wis dom when they selected as chairman of their committe the Hon. F. Y. Ander- son of Birmingham. He is not only a man of much means, but is strictly a practical business man from the start Notwithstanding that he has met with many disappointments, among them the failure of the governor to allow the ap- propriation from the state, he has held steadily to his one purpose, and that is to make a success of the enterprise. The secretary of the board, too, Hon. N. F. Thompson. of Birmingham is certainly the right man in the right place. He to- day is one of the most important factors in guaranteeing that our exhibit will be an assured success. He is untiring in his efforts in dispensing information to all who may desire any concerning the state exhibit.

THE ALABAMA oHAUrAUQUA.

The promoters of the Alabama chau- tauqua have every reason to congratu- late themselves upon the results of their labors. The session at Talladega has been successful in every respect-in point of attendance. in the presence of distin- guished men and in the carrying out of a programme which will compare with that of the parent institution.
 These Chautauqua assemblies are pro- ductive of the highest good. The particd- pants find their intellects sharpened by commingllng. their self-respect heighten- ed and their calling magnified. That is not all. Increased interest in letters is awakened which spreads in ever widen ing circles. and the people are directed toward higher ideals.
 But. if this years session of the chau- tauqua has been good next years should be better. There Is every reason to be- Heve that it will be.

the further announcement of a Ken lucky mill on which the club had been working for some time. This to employ forty hands.
 Here we have a pay roll of a class of labor that is at present almost wholly un-l productive in this city. and 1t needs no special stress to prove that all of which will go to the retail trade of Birming-' ham. This is an evidence of how the club can help the retail trade. as it can that of every other line of business on which the progress and development of Bir- mingham depends.
 It is the only business or commercial organization in the city, and for this req son, if no other it should have the united support of every business and Drofes- sional man in the city. It can become most potent factor in the city's growth, and there should be a generous effort in every line of business to make it just such factor.
 Prior to the great tide of travel that is coming south this fail-and some will certainly come to Birmingham-the Com mercial club should be made strong enough, and such pride should be taken in it as will make 1t the better able to look afer the business that the city may gain from such channels.
 If you are not a member join the club and thus aid in building up Birmingham.

IS BARKIs "W11LIN, 9,

Congressman Poole of Syracuse, N Y., specifically denies that B. Harrison, Esq. made any such remark regarding the Presidency as was recently attributed to him. It really seemed at the time that the item could stand salting. GIe may have said that he would not accept the nomination unless it was rendered to him, but it is dollars to doughnuts that he will shuttle his little cards in such a manner as to bring about the rendering of the aforesaid nomination.
 He has looked over the ground care fully. He is not afraid of Mckinley of Starl<e; the Hon. Streaming Tears Ali son has put himself in the category with the historical parrot, who talked too much; MT T. Sashlet Reed of Maine has been served with a brief notice reading, Not wanted" and Governor Morton would surely never oppose a man who picked him up when he was sunstruck. So B.

THE RETAIL TRADE

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

The result of the English elections is a surprise to the Conservatives them selves. They expected victory, but were not prepared for the proportions which 1t assumed.
 The outlook for the Liberals is gloomy, indeed. The defeat of Sir William Yer non Harcourt was crushing blow; upon the heels of this came the rejection of MT. Morley by the electors, and at this writing the indications are that the Lib eral party will be absolutely without leaders in the next Parliament, unless members from safe boroughs shall re- sign to make place for the defeated chieftains.
 The only hope of a party in the minor ity is in the strategy and aggressiveness of its leaders. The Liberals have been none too rich in strong men; now they are poor, indeed, and the party is in the sorest extremity of it's history.
 The British elector has turned back the clock a decade. The lords are safe from the hammer of the iconoclast, and home rule has been shelved.
 The world has no occasion to rejoice at the results.

A PROTEST FROM COLORADO.

The Age-Herald respectfully submits to the silver monometallist contingent the following ta,e told out of school by the editor of the Durango (Colorado) Democrat. It is evident that he had en- tered into himself and found wisdom:
 It is time for the sake of Colorado's reputation for honesty, if not for common sense, that some one in authority should disabuse the minds of Eastern and for eign investors of the notion that this whole State has run silver mad It is true that the Democrat has joined with other newspapers in Colorado, for req sons which need not be specified here. in "booming" silver, while everybody knew that t was steadily and irresist- ibly on its way down hill. But the limit has been reached. Conscience revolts, as decency long ago revolted. against carrying on this fraud any longer. The political ends to be gained by it sink into inSignifieance when contrasted with the damage which is bound to result from it in the long run.
 One by one the wanderers return. one by one confessing the error of their ways they hie them homeward, and, weary with ill-doing. climb upon the Democratic platform and admit that it is good to be there after the hard paths of the outer darkness into which their folly lead them.

SINGULAR SHOUTING AFPRAY.

Swallowed the Bullet That Split Her Tongue After Wounding Her Husband.
 A singular shooting affair occurred at Garfield, a little colored settlement about two miles south of Good Hope, late on the evening of the Fourth. A colored man named Bowie, who lives in Washington, went over to Garfield with his wife to cele- brate the day at the residence of relatives.
 An all day picnic was held, and when night came and the time arrived for tho display of fireworks no man or woman present was in fit condition to hold lighted match near anything that contain ed powder and several persons who tried were severely burned. Later in the night Bowie produced 32 caliber revolver from his pocket and began to celebrate by firing it off. A crowd gathered about him, and as Bowie stood on the porch of his friends house firing of his pistol several produced razors, but no one had any gun except Bowie.
 Something wrong with tho trigger of his revolver engaged Bowie's attention as he stood at one end of the long porch. He did not notice that his wife had come to the window at the other end and was call ing to him. Suddenly his pistol went off with a terrific bang, and with a shriek of pain Bowie dropped the weapon, uttering yell after yell and dancing about like madman. Almost simultaneously cry came from the other end of the porch, and the bystanders saw Bowies wife fall upon the floor, with blood gushing from her mouth. Dr. Mudd of Anacostia was hur- riedly sent for.
 He found that Bowie had shot himself in the left hand, which he had carelessly held in front of bis pistol. The bullet had passed through two fingers, passed through his wifes upper lip, knocked out eight teeth, and split her tongue exactly in half for about third of its length To crown all, the woman had swallowed the bullet. The injured parties were removed to their home and the woman's tongue was stitched together by Dr. Mudd. Bowie is still able to be about, but his wife's condi- tion is said to be serious.

DEMOPOLIS.
MT. J. H. Davidson Acquitted From
 a Clear Sky.

Clear OKy
 Demopolis, July 1S.-(Special Core spondence.)- .)-Yesterday the court in Lin- den was occupied with the J. H. David son case, in which the above mentioned gentleman was charged with murder. The jury was scarcely out four minutes when they returned with a verdict of acquittal. A brief history of the case is this: About two years ago MT. Davidson was experimenting some road hands, and one of them in response to some order of his gave him very impudent reply. MT. Davidson got down off of his horse and started toward the negro, when the latter raised his spade and came after him ferociously. Mir. Davidson, seeing that his life was in danger drew his pistol and shot the negro, from the effects of which shot he died. The verdict was received with much approval and MT. Davidson's many friends throughout the state will hear of it with sincere pleasure. After the report of the jury Solicitor Elmore, who has not been at all we'll for several weeks, asked for postponement in the other criminal case, which was granted, and court adjourned.
 A call for a meeting of all the Confed- crate soldiers of this beat, to be held in the armory of the Demopolis RiHes to- morrow afternoon at o'clock, has been published in the Express today This meeting is to be held for the purpose of organizing committees to look after the arrangement for the reception of the visitors to the reunion of Camp Oracle, which takes place in this town on August 6. Commander Webb and his assistants purpose making this big day, and are sparing no effort in preparing for the crowd that is expected
 The only busy portion of the town for the last few days has been the lot on which the standpipe and pumping sta tion for the water works is to be placed Crowds of citizens gather there and beset Colonel Hebert and Captain Russell with all kinds and conditions of questions But these gentlemen do not seem to be upset by the. numerous queries and an- swer them all with the courtesy and affa- bility for which they are already cele- brated.
