There is no doubt that the democrats
carried Alabama yesterday by a very
handsome majority. In comparison with
only in the black counties. but also in
the populist counties. The republican and
populist combination never had much Of
a chance to carry the state. In the No
vemher election the populists will vote
with the democrats, and the opposition
to that combination will be so small as
to hardly command respect.

A sensational New York newspaper the
other day published a series Of pictures
illustrating the methods of picking peck
cts practiced by one of the most notori-
GUS thieves in this country. A day or
two later a newsboy. who had carefully
studied the pictures and the accompany
ing description, went on the streets and
proceeded to act upon the suggestions
given him by the article. It is altogether
likely that hundreds of other boys. and
probably men also have studied the les

Leaves Poor Tom in the Cold.
From the cunningham News Dem

The News believes that the solution to
this puzzle will be very simple. 1t will
be this: The populists in the north and
west viii not vote for Tom Watson, but
Will cast their ballots for Bryan and Sc
wall. The sentiment at St Louis was all
that way and everything indicates such
a result. The democrats will carry an
the southern states without the aid of
the popuhsts. In both the south and west
the Bryan-Sewan ticket will go through
and Tom Watson will be left out in the
cold.

INTERESTING BIRDS.

GENUINE AFRICAN OsTRICHES TO BE SEEN
WITH THE GREAT SYNDICATE CIRCUS.
Giant African ostrIohes are a great
curiosity and but few Of them have ever
been seen In tins country and they lived
but a short while owing to the rigor OF
the climate. The big birds usually called
ostriches, now 90 extensively bred on the
so-called ostrich farms Of California, are
really not ostriches. They belong to the
same species, but are mongrel branch
of the true family. It's native place is
Australia and not Africa and the bird is
really an emu and is only about half the
size of the ostrich and has not the bril-
liant and luxurious plumage of tie latter
bird.

America IS owned by the Great Syndicste
