RESOURCES or ALABAMA.

peeitsd ia the Inaugural Address q
Governor Johnston.
Governor Joseph F. Johnston was in
augurated governor Of Alabama Dec. 1.
Before taking the oath of cfiice he de-
Nvered . long address. sounding the
keynote Of his administration. which
II to promote the development Of Ala
bama's resources and improve the con-
dition Of her people. Speaking Of thu
resources Of the state he said:
with IN area of but little more than
nifty thousand square miles. there is no
territory Of like size in the known
world so prolific in the variety of its
resources: were a wall erected around
our state. cutting OF all access. we
could produce within our borders
everything necessary for the comfort
or convenience of man. Great veins
Of iron ore and seams of coal put at
our command almost boundless re-
sources In fuel, iron. and steel. Splen-
did forests of yellow. pine here stand
ready to build homes for millions OF
people. Building stone and marble.
fire clay, kaolin and lime exist in great
abundance: walnut, maple. oak, cherry.
ash and other hard woods await the
hand of man for manufacture or the
adornment Of our homes. In the pro-
duction of pig iron we take rank as
the fourth state in the union: In iron
ore. third: in coal We stand fifth: in
the production of cotton, fourth. and
in its manufacture, fourth. In lumber
we are near the head OF the list. 1t
would be unjust should fail to in
clude in our minerals copper, lead.
graphite, mari and gold; indeed. the
only mineral that We seem to be with
out and to want most is silver. Leav-
ing forest and mine and coming to our
fields We find that they produce gen.
erously cotton. corn. wheat. rye. oats.
tobacco. rice and the grasses and here
is the home of the pear, the peach, the
grape and all small fruits. Vegetables
are grown with great success, and this
industry is steadily developing. Our
splendid rivers, the Alabama, Coosa,
Tallapoosa, Warrior. Cahaba. Bigbee
and the Tennessee. are the liquid ar
teries of the commonwealth, fed by in
Vulnerable creeks. all fruitful in power
to convert our raw products into arti-
cles of merchandise. Over 5000 miles
of railroads traverse our state from
north to south. and east to west, fur
nishing quick transportation to market
for our products. When we come to
our climate we find that the Giver Of
all good things has not stayed His
hand, and that He has blessed us with
opportunity to labor twelve months in
the year without detriment to health or
comfort. Indeed. we can scarcely ap-
preciate the blessings we enjoy in this
respect when compared with less ia
vored regions, for even now we are
unconscious that roses are
blooming in our gardens. and the fra
grant air is sweet with their perfume.
With a profound gratitude to
the God of our fathers. that our lots
have been cast in this sunny land, let
us beseech Him to send warmth and
vitality and enduring growth into
every field Of endeavor, that will make
US strong to accomplish the things that
make a state loved at home and re-
vered abroad"

THE TACrLEss woMAx.s TRICK.

Husband and Visitor Bored BY the
Situation.
Her caller had fingered until close on
to the dinner hour. There was the "a
miliar click Of a latch-key 10 the front
door, and little Mrs. Blank. peeping
through her reception room portieres
caught a glimpse Of fleeing coat tails.
Now. anybody with bit Of intuition
could have told by the stealthy way in
which an Overcoat and hat were hung
upon the rack that tine owner was try
ing to escape detection and detention.
and really wise wife would have
taken the hint and talked along briskly
to her guest. approaching the fact that
her better half was at this moment
turning q deaf ear to the clatter Of
feminine tongues near by. and doing
his best. in quiet way to get beyond
their range.
But this wife. erring through de-
sire to be gracious to her visitor, called
sweetly Henry. is that you? Come
in; here is Mrs. A."
Mrs. A.. with sympathy born OF her
own marital experiences in this line,
felt q little chill of dismay creep clear
to the edge of her bonnet. There was
a space of silence, which Henry III the
hall and Mrs. A. in the parlor wished
each other several blocks away. Then
forced courtesy conquered: reluctant
masculine footsteps crossed the hall,
and Mrs. AS host entered tue room.
with a perfunctOry smile and greeting
imprOvised in the brief intervals be-
tween the inhospitable reflections.
Awkward? OF course. it was awk-
ward and tactless enough for the wife
to place husband and caller in such a
situation. The most SOciable man Nv
ing, when he comes home at O'Clock
in the evening tired from the bread
and-butter scratch all day. doesn't feel
like presiding Mt hen convention.
He hasn't cleared away the business
burrows from his brow or the business
projects from his brain. and it's mild
torture for him to have to do the polite
thing to some petticOated acquaintance
of his wife. If he is in Il mood that

presence of those nearest and dearest

the benefit of their knowledge.
For my part, l don't see what pleas
IRE wife gets in tolling her mate in
to the reception room. From the mo-
ment he crosses the threshold she acts
distract She realizes. in vague sort
of way, that his manly soul is up In
arms against the social inanities he
encounters in ten minutes Of feml-
nine society.
The departure of her caller is. likely
enough, the signal for 4 husbandly
lecture.
Do. for PHYS sake, you who get this
lecture profit by it. and the next time
your husband comes home and finds
YOU in the midst of social duties. let
him sneak up stairs if he. wants to,
with never a protest from you.

Justice is not a quality met with at
every street corner. Neither is 1t one
in which women shine conspicuous. AS
a rule. women are particular rather
than Just. and inclined to make favor
ties in the nursery as in the drawing
room. The most promising children
are often the most difficult; and diff
cult child requires light touch ana
great discrimina ton in handling. Sens1-
tiveness is often mistaken for temper,
shyness for sullenness-the habit OF
brood 'ng observation, which does not
always see or hear the thing immedi-
ately present, for impertinent indlner-
ence-and so on. Then the child Is
chastised, or spoken to roughly and
harshly for a fault of which it was
utterly unconscious. while the shallow
little Brilliancy is caressed and petted.
Then spirit of indignant. perhaps OF
reyengcful wrath is reused If the tenn
per be Of the resisting and self
speeding kind; or the little heart Is
broken and the spirit crushed If the
character be weak and humble. And
in any case the sense of injustice ana
misunderstanding rankles. quite as

and no matter for how little merit. or

But We want something more than the

who themselves are so wanting In dis
cipline. AS the blind leading the blind
ends in the ditch, SO does the influence
of uncultured women over children,
who have all as yet to learn and are
oil to make. lead them to regard these
moral faults as integral to the c0ndi-
ton of things human and mature; just
by 80 much lessening their faculty OF

ors to be good. For why be good when

sarah's Retort Courteous.

Sarah Bernhardt and Fanny Davenport
have been indulging in wordy war lately
through the medium of the press. II is
but just to the French woman to say that
our own Fanny seems to have begun it,
and once drawn into the fray Sarah has
proved herself more than a match for her
hated rival.
"I have seen Bernhard" said Fanny
Davenport recently, land do not claim
to rival her. 1 have not seen Duse, and
know nothing of her methods. OF course
Bnrnhardt is all fireworks. Duse must be
electric, because every one says she is so
natural in her methods, and yet she seems
to WELD a great fascinating power. One
thing l do claim, and that is that / put
just as much study into my parts as they
do in theirs. And / do another thing that
neither Sarah nor Duse can dol translate
and adapt my own plays.
"My daptation of 'Gismonda' was the
one thing which the New York papers
condescended 10 praise. They never miss
an opportunity of criticizing me and sit
ting down on me, but they did consent to
praise my adaptation lot that they
liked the play or admitted that they did.
When put it on in New York the critics
said it was the worst play that had been
in New York for 1 don't know how long
But now? Oh, now that Sarah is playing
it it is beautiful play
Sarah Is great artist and / admire her
genius. / can't say that have any fond
ness for her personally, however"
Bernhardt, goaded into an interview by
these and similar remarks, said: "I bear
Miss Davenport no i'll will, but she must
not think she is an artist like me just be-
cause she adulterates Sardous plays into
English. Let me see; what can 1 do for
Miss Davenport to show my good nature ?
All, yes. l have it. l have been busy to-
day writing testimonials of recommends
ton for some soap and some patent medi-
cine. l will write a certificate of recon-
mendation for Miss Davenport, and she
may use it in her advertisements through

A Tragedy Was Averted.

There might have been tragedy-sev-
eral tragedies-at the Walnut-street Thea
ter last Monday night were it not for the
fact that cool fellow in the gallery averted
it, says the Philadelphia Footlights.
Aubrey Boucicault was playing "Con,
the Shaughran," and in the famous wake
scene two lighted candles spluttered their
grease4aden way at the head of the sup
posed corpse. When Con hears the villains
conspirng he jumps from the boards and
confronts the plotters. Well, last Monday
young Boucicault jumped from his couch,
and in SO dong he jammed the pillow
against one of the candles. The pillow
began smoking and a man in the gal
lery shouted, ''Con, look to your candle" !"
Boucicault evidently did not hear-but
every one else did and there was tense
silence. Suddenly the smoldering pillow
burst into flame. Con, look to your can
dle,' again shouted the man in the gallery.
Boucicault heard this time. Quickly tax
ing off his tattered hat he capped it on
the flame and pinched out the fire, speak
ing his lines all the while. Then he went
on with the play as If nothing of moment
had occurred. Nobody applauded-just
took it as matter of course, you know.
But If that man in the gallery hadn't
worded his cry as he did-had he shouted,
The pillows afre,' or something that had
that word fire in its makeup, the result
might have been different. For that word
in crowded theater spells stampede"

wait patiently for the Joy of "The Human

Sacrifice"
So far, all is well. The author is graft
he'd to observe that his fellow-citizens
from Maine to California are eagerly
awaiting the production of the much her
aided play, and the manager settles his
advertising bills cheerfully. The final
week OF rehearsals comes, and still all is
we'll. But this is no better than sitting on
volcano. A few days before the night of
production letter arrives from the West
ern worthy informing the author that the
title of "The Human Sacrifice" has
already been copyrighted. What is to
be done in these appalling circum-
stances2 The printingis all out, the litho-
graphs are made, and the name, having
been exten siveIy advertised, is valuable.
1t would be insanity to change the title of
the play at that late hour. There is moth
ing to do except to make terms with the
Westerner. For a consideration he will
surren der his copyright, which cost him

Western genius that many of our plays are

He Pre-empts Titles.

There are many q ueer ways of earning a
livelihood and one of the strangest of them
was discovered by an ingenious worthy of
the West. This industrious person thinks
of nothing, morning, noon and night, ex-
cept the names of plays, and every week
he sends a batch of dramatic titles to
Washington, where they are copyrighted.
He never writes play, never intends to
write a play, nor indeed has any ability to
write play. But he is a great man for
titles. and after seve:al years of effort he
has copyrighted almost every caption that
an honest dramatist could use In the
christening of his work.
This plan is not so foolish as it seems to
be. For example, an author writes a fine
rama and, after much cogitation, decides
that 1.-THE Human Sacrifice" is the only
title that will fit its story. Attended by
good luck, his play is accepted by man.

Immediately the advertisement of the
piece is begun. Paragraphs in the news

their money on rival performances and to
