MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
A Bowery Girl" Tonight.

Devotees of American drama, and they are legion, will greet with delight the announcement of the engagement of "A Bowery Grip at the opera house tonight.
 "A Bowery Grip was written by Ada l.. Bascom and is full of that element known as heart interest and abounds in strong, sensational scenes, the principal of which are the Bowery at night, showing Grand street elevation and road, the dy- namite explosion at the palisades on the Hudson river and the great fire scene on the house tops of New York. The cen- tral figure of the play is, of course, the Bowery Girl, which character is DOT. trayed by the clever soubrette, Clara Thropp, who originated the role when the play was originally produced, and her performance of the part is said to be a remarkably clever one "A Bowery Girl' deals with life in the eastern district of New York, and while the characters it portrays are principally in the lower walks of life, yet 1t can truly be said that it possesses not one objectionable feature. It is simply strong, sensational. dra- matc picture handsomely framed. The stage is under the direction of the widely known stage director, MT. Teal.

CAMPAIGN TALK.
Bullock for Johnston.

Maj. I. F. Culver of Union Springs was among yesterdays prominent arrivals Major Culver will be pleasantly remem- bered in Birmingham as president of the Alabama Agricultural society for six years and at the time the state fair was held in this city. He is a strong and pop ular candidate just now for state com missioner of agriculture. Being prom inent member of the state senate from Bullock and Macon counties he has had exceptional opportunities for equipping himself for the duties of the office he prefers. Major Culver was in charge of the Alabama building at the Atlanta ex- position and proved himself a most ex- cellent partisan of his state. Speaking of the campaign for governor, he said that he believed that Bullock would go for Johnston as things now looked. In 1894 the county went for Oates by small majority on account of the over confi- dence of the Johnston men. This year a number of avowed Oates men are for Johnston, and so it seems are the major ity of the epople of Bullock who are in the habit of giving expression to their preferences.

Sixth District All Right.

Hon. Robert l.. Windham of Fayette, who was in the city yesterday, was seen by State Herald reporter and asked as to the relative strength of Johnston and Clarke in the Sixth district MT. Windham said:
 There is not a single doubt but that Johnston will carry the Sixth Congress sional district. Johnston is recognized as the man to harmonize the party and strengthen it back to it's old-time major ity. I have heard numbers of democrats who went off with Kolb say that if John ston is the nominee they will come back to the only party that stands by the masses of the people. Those who went off recognize that the relief so much de- sired can come only through the demo- cratic party.

 The alert newspaper men were ahead of Uncle Sam's officers. The first information, 1t is claimed, was received yesterday, yet the reading world has been basking in the full information of all the facts for over a week.
 To this late hour Uncle Sam has not officially notified some of his officers that Charlson has been brought to bay.

A Proud, Sensitive Hen.

He was being interviewed on the
poultry business, when he said: 81 don t
want to boast, but do think we have
got the knowingest hens in the world
in our end of the town. l have flock
of 200, all black. 1t is "a theory of mine
that black hens lay better than those of
any other color. One day found hen
in my flock with a few white feathers
in her tail called the hired man and
told him to catch and kill her. You
can rely on the laying capabilities of
hen with white feathers, l said. The
hen gave me sorrowful look, but did
not say word.
Next morning the hired man told
me that he could not find her A month
or two later opened pile of potatoes
had stored in the cellar and found a
big hollow space in the center of them.
There was bunch of black feathers in
the place, with three white ones stand
ing up in a defiant sort of way. Behind
the feathers were 66 eggs. recognized
at once that it was the work of the
missing hen. The proud, sensitive crea-
ture had slowed herself away and worn
herself out laying eggs to prove that the
theory was a mistaken one. Wabash

For time she was undoubtedly great
favorite of Swift. and her sprightly
"reminiscences. in spite Of the disdain
with which they are treated by some OF
Swift's biographers, constitute one Of
the chief sources of authority as to
Swift's later years. 1t is Mrs. Pilking-
ton who tells of Swift's personal habits,
of his manners with his servants, of his
dealings with roguish workmen. of his
memory of "Hudibras," so accurate
that he could repeat every line from be-
ginning to end.

Was Adam the First Man?

About the middle of the seventeenth
century an audacious attempt was made
TO rob Adam of the honor of having
been the first man. Isaac de La Peyrere,
in an odd little volume entitled THE
Pre- Adamites, attempted to prove that
there were two creations of men-the
first on the sixth day of the week of
creation. when God created man male
and female. " The rabbis interpret the
above passage of holy writ as meaning
that the first race Of human beings were
creatures in which both sexes We're unit
ed in the same individual According
to De la Peyrere. Adam was the result
of the second creation-the male and
female being having been the progen-
itor CT the Gentiles, Adam the father of
the Jews
A great many people fell in with the
views Of De la Peyrere. and he was the
lion of the hour His followers were
called Pre- Adamites. and they in.
creased in numbers rapidly, until finally
the movement became so strong that the
founder of the sect was compelled TO go
TO Rome and abjure his doctrine at the
feet of Pope Alexander VII. Louis
