ELS NAME Is HE'LL.
But Everybody Thinks His Playing Is
Heavenly.

One Of the most popular men in Sousa's
band, which has been furnishing the music
at Manhattan Beach, n. Y, since Gilmore
died, bears the disagreeable name of He'll.
He plays luegle horn In such a manner
that the audience scarcely brcathes, and
when he gets right down to business he
makes the goose flesh rise upon your back,
which Is the highest test of true art. He
is big fellow, and when he comes for
ward To tho front Of the stage and raises
his horn TO his lips everybody notices-how
much his trousers bag at the knees. But
when he commences TO play, you forget
about trousers and all other external
things and feel that man with pro-
found scntimeno is speaking through a lit
tie brass instrument in tones that are as
sublime as an angels song, and nobody
ever heard him without being the better
for IL. But he ought TO go into court and
change his name, and he will have TO Go
so before he can reach the full measure OF
popularity that he is entitled TO-
was sitting on the balcony the other
evening after the concert when a very
sweet, refined looking girl of IL or there
about, with n pink shirt waist and n sail

Mamma, did you ever hear anybody
play like Hell?"

astonishedr'
"Why, mother, what is the mattcrf"
"Child, you don't realize what you
said" And some gentlemen sitting near by
left their chairs and moved slowly down
the piazza laughing.
The innocent girl required diagram TO
understand tho cause OF her mothers dem
onstrntion, and when she got IL she burst
into silvery laugh and said
"His name may 30 Hell, but his playing
Is heavenly" which is the general verdict.

HON. w. J. BRYAN
Says No Compromise Will Be Tolerated-lo
 to It Shall Be.


 Special to Chicago Record
 Omaha. Neb., June 5.--A delegate from one of the southern states to the Chicago convention inquired of Ex-Congressman Bryan whether the silver democrats should consent to compromise on the silver qestion by that convention, to which MT. Bryan replied:
 "No compromise on the silver question Is either to be desired or tolerated. Every state which has declared for silver has adopted a platform which declares for the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. without waiting for the aid or con sent of any other nation on earth. and this will be the substance of the Chicago declaration. The silver democrats have fought against great odds. They have had to contend against the world. the flesh and the devil but they have won the fight. The success of our cause is due to the support 1t has found among the common people, and any attempt to mod fly or weaken the position already taken in the silver states would rob the cam paign of It's enthusiasm and subject the delegates to the charge of having be- trayed their constituents"

A tobacco dealer just arrived et Jack sonyille tells a New York World reporter:
 'I am satisfied that not only most, if not all, the stories of Outrages committed by Spanish soldiery on Cuban non-com- batants are true, but that the worst has not been told.
 'Men, women and even little children are slain in the fields and by the road side, and sometimes the bodies are ghamefuily mutila ted.
 'I heard of seven maimed men and boy, nsere child, being slain in a field fifteen miles from Havana. Two were members of the Red Cross. Their of fense was an attempt to bury some of the dead the soldiers had left for yul- lures.
 "The cruelties of Spanish soldiers serve only to drive into the rebel ranks the men whose friends are murdered in the cane fields.
 "fbe whole island is given over to fire and bloodshed The war is hell broken loose in paradise.
 "If other nations do not interfere to. stop it, it is likely to last years, like the war of 1868"

Our Birmingham morning contempo- rary boasts that it lis the only leading morning paper in Alabama that is sup porting the nominees and platform of the democratic party" The county papers are constantly copying the rallyiDg cries of the Advertiser into their columns Montgomery Advertiser.
 The State Herald will keep watchout among the country papers and see how many copy the following "rallying cries" taken from Sundays issue of the Advertiser:
 !" Wonder if the Montgomery Adyef- tiser has yet heard of the Kentucky pri- mary election last Saturday, asks lpe TuscUmbia North Alabamian. Oh, yes, we have, and expect to hear from it again next November just like we did last NoYember-with republican yicto- ry because 60,000 oisgusted democrats stayed at home"
 What is sauce for Kentucky is sauce for Alabama. The war was waged and won on the same identical issue. Does the Advertiser really believe that the Goodwin ticket will sweep the state by G0,000 majority? Let those country pa- perS answer.

A good old Baptist preacher once re- marked that as long is young man slips in the back door of barroom for his drink there is some hope of a recla- nation, but when he becomes so lost to all shame and decency and public respect as to march in at the front door and slam the green screens he is beyond redemp- ton. On this principle let us hope that the rep-Dop contingent will continue to do their canyassing in the night time. TO say the least of if, it shows that they are ashamed of the green goggles worn by their leader when he gave his consent to vote for a negro over white man for a seat in the United States congress, and that such tactics will not be tolerated in Alabama even by white populists and white republicans.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-06-09

The proud boast of the populists has been that theirs was essentially a white mans party. How must the genuine and honest populte revolt at the spectacle of the great leader of that organization in this state voting to rob white democrat of the seat In congress to which he was elected by white voters and giving it to a negro republican who was not elected at all-not even by the negro vote of his dis triet!

to women than to men; but according to tbe fifth annual report of Dr. ". T. Har- ris, Emitted States commissioner of edu- cation, there are in the United States 5s4 colleges, S10 of which age co-eduea- tional, 141 open to men only, and l43 open to women only. In other words, women have a choice of 45S colleges, men only 451. The colleges for women only are less well equipped than the others, aY- efaging only fifteen instructors per col lege, against twenty-two for other col leges, but more instructors would appar- entiy be superfiuous, since there are only little over six pupils to each teacher. Indeed the relatively small number of instructors may be partly due to the rel- atiyely small attendance al the women's colleges, as in many large colleges the number of students makes necessary seY- eral instructors to teach identicaily the sa me subject to one grade.

SUNSHINE IN ALABAMA.

Our readers may have admired the puri- tanical chastity of our editorials, and pos sibly instituted comparison between our diction and that of Cicero, and while not at all offended at illiterate people making such a glaring mistake, yet we wish to remind those better informed that Cicero could not caper within a mile of our class. For instance Cicero calls candidates. "Natio oficiosissima"-which in plain Shelby coun- ty language means an over officfous class! Now isn't that nice language for the pure and undefled columns of a family paper? The honest truth is that Old Cis was high ly incorporate, not to gay actually infiam- matory, even to ineendarism in his gram mar. When slightly stimulated with about three snifters under his toga he could stand fat-footed and give the International dic- tionary acute lumbago with congressional debate calculated to make the North pole sizz. The statue of Minerva always blush ed when he arrived in the ward where 1t was located and the Yellow Fiber hurried to the sea to get out of the reach of his vocabulary.
