CONFIDENT CAPTAIN kOLB
Thinks Alabama Is Going Against Democrac,
 This Year.

 - Says Sundays New York Commercial Advertiser:
 a"Reuben r. Kolb of Alabama. the pop ulist, who has run for governor of the state several times and has been counted out by the democrats so he asserts was at the Fifth Avenue hotel today getting ready to go home when a Commercial Advertiser reporter saw him. His visit here has more than ordinary significance owing to the fact that his party and the republicans will have a joint ticket for presidential electors. He will have some thing to say also in the matter of dele gates to the republican national conven- ton in St. Louis.
 "'I can only say now that the popu- lists and republicans will coalesce and vote the same presidential ticket he re- plied>in answer to questions.
 "'Who is the favorite republican presi- dential candidate in your state?'
 "I cannot say We have not come to that question yet
 MT. Kolb became retlcent on the sub ject of delegates, and he would not even mention the name of a republican pres idential candidate. He said. however, that the state would go against the dem- ocrats If a fair count could be had. As to the visit of Ex-POstmaster Cornelius Van Cott of this city to Alabama recent ly in behalf of Governor Morton. MT. Kolb did not care to say anything"

 Races Selected.
FAMOUS HORSES NOW HERE
Arrival of String From the Bryn Mar Stables, Including Governor Sheehsn- BirmiTg-
 ham as a Turf Center.

Few people realize that Birmingham is going to be a turf center.
 There are all sorts of valuable consider ations which are here to conduce to this development. The main advantages are geography and climate. Just such a place as Birmingham, intermediate be- tween the far south, New Orleans, and the racing parks north. west and east. has long been in demand. And now that 50 sterling and responsible turfman as Hayden Dargin. with some of Birmng- hams leading citizens, has taken hold of the enterprise. its success is amply assured.
 Already some of the grandest and fast est horses in America are here and com fortably housed in the improved sta- bles at the beautiful grounds of the Ala bama State Fair and Racing association.
 Among the latest arrivals was Mr. w. J. Brien. widely known as Counsellor Bill" with string of scorchers from the celebrated Bryn Mar stables. They came Sunday from New Orleans. At their head is Governor Sheehan. the winner of the brewing company's stakes, making a mile record of 140%, and the Christ mas 5000 handicap at New Orleans, five u Governor Sheehan and Forget, the fast est Ally of the year. will be great attrac- tions in the local meeting. These two are the only entries from the west for the great Brooklyn handicap.
 Also in the Bryn Mar string are Ros- lyn III, a winner east, west and south Captain Kidd, one of the strongest of 3-year-oids. having won this year under the heaviest weight; Lady Maud, who de- feated Frontier and Kamren at Chicago; Masquerade, Storm King, Hooray and Adam Johnston. all winners of New Or leans money.
 In addition to these there are six high class winners of the same stable to come from Jersey City. Along with the horses have come two well-known jockeys, John Bundle and W. Penny.
 Secretary Hayden Dargin and "Coun- eellor Biil," who, by the way, may be re- membered also as long trainer for Lucky Baldwin. were found together yes terday by State Herald reporter. The two turf patrons were beaming with pleasure. It was over a telegram just re- ceived from New Orleans announcing the acceptance by Col. John Carter of the pre- sidlnx judgeship of the Blrming ha m. "He makes a grand judge" remarked MT. Brien. Indeed, Colonel Carter's s name Is another assurance of the fmport- ance of the Birmingham. He is per- manently engaged in the same capacity by the St- Louis association.

Bright "Princess Bonnie. g

The large audience which saw "Prin- cess Bonnie" Willard Spencer's latest es- say at comic opera, were sorry when the final chorus died away, so pleasantly had they been entertained.
 i The opera had been favorably heralded and met expectations very agreeably. Tt is rythmically delightful and it's brightly linked sweetness happily suited to comical situations, droll denouements and the picturesque posing, of which it we'll admits for a lot of exceptionally pretty and graceful young women in piquantly gaudy costumes of Spanish style.
 The singing exhibited no remarkable voices, but all were pleasing. The action was excellent throughout the cast.
 Miss Hilda Clark was a charming he roine as Princess Bonnie, and Miss Gold thwaites singing and very spirited act ing won her the heartiest of applause. Fred Lennox proved himself master full laugh-provoker with his original antics of voice and manner. Princess Bonnie" was indeed greatly enjoyed last night and should it come here again would receive hearty welcome.

"A Bowery Girl. ]"

"A Bowery Girl" which comes Wednes- day night to the opera house, is one of the successes of the season as introduced by Harry Williams. She Is an absolute creation. The public never knew her be- fore except from story. and 1t is curious to make her acaua antance. She is ca pablo of more development than any oth- CT recent stage ideal, judging from all that can be heard. In New York city. Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and Chi cago she broke all records. turning peo- pie away night after night. The play has been staged with the care that shows confidence of success. The company is a large one, numbering eighteen people, headed by the versa tile soubrette, Clara ThropD, who will be well remembered as the original Taggs with Neil Burgess -"County Fair" and afterwards the Inno- cent Kid with Evans & Hoey's "Parlor Match" company. She is young and pret- ty, sings sweetly and dances daintIly. During the action of the play, she will introduce several new and taking songs and dances.
