FULL STATE TICKET.
1T is Named By the Silver Republican
Convention ut Denver.

DENVER, Sept. 1O.-The silver Republic
can convention completed its labors to-
day by naming a full state ticket and
appointing a conference committee with
full power to dispose of the candidates
upon q. fusion ticket.
The fusion conference of committees
from the four parties has been in session
all day, but nothing has been done. A
test vote on governor failed to secure a
majority of the conference for any can
didate, though a tie vote was recorded for
Adams, Democrat. The delay hinges on
the gubernatorial nomination, each party
standing out for that office.
The conventions have all endorsed the
Bryan and Sewall electors nominated by

ANOTHER DOUBLE DIVIDEND.

The BuIIiOn-Becl< Gives Its Stock
holders an Agreeable Surprise.
The directors of the Bullion-Becl1
Mining company yesterday declared a
double dividend of $4,000, payable Sep
TENDER 20.
This double dividend, when 1T was
only expected thar the regular monthly
dividend of $4,000 would be declared
and paid will be an agreeable surprise
to the lucky holders of Bullion-Beck
stock.
In August the company paid a
special and a double dividend, amount
ing to $4,000; and as the mine is show
ing up larger and richer ore bodies as
work progresses, there is good reason
to believe that in October the record
made in September will be duplicated.
The Bullion-Beck is a. great mine and
is being ably managed.

THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

Dull Day in the Pit and No Sales
OF Stock Recorded.
The bulls and bears, when they met
in the pit of the exchange yesterday,
were seemingly victims OF that tired
feeling about which so much has been
heard since the Republicans in conven-
ton assembled declared in favor of
honest money and that the financial
affairs Of the country should be regu-
lated by bankers and the gamblers of
Wall street
With such depression noticeable, it
is no wonder that there was a lack of
life on the floor and that the call ended
without the transfer Of any stock what
ever.
The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

DRAWING FOR TOURS.

Birmingham generally keeps we'll in the
procession. Conventions and conventions
have been held here during the past year,
and committees, county, state and dis
trict, almost without number. Speakers
of state and national reputation have
poured out their eloquence at their will
and the same was listened to by large
| audiences.
Generals Palmer and Buckner (McKin-
| ley's step brothers, as some are pleased
to call them), candidates on the national
ticket for president and vice president,
recently paid the city visit. On Wednes-
day night Mr.. Thomas Watson of Geor-
gia, middle-of-the-road candidate for vice
president, and Mr.. M. w. Howard, popu
list candidate for congress from the
Seventh district, will speak at Capitol
park. Both of these gentlemen have writ
ten a book-a real live book.
The title of the book as written by the
candidate for vice president is accepted
by the reading public as having been
dedicated to one of Alabama's former
congress members, entitled where Am l
At"
The book written by Author and Con-
gresham Howard attracted considerable
attention Wnen HFSL puDllSheu, anu IAc
adverse criticisms by his colleagues cost
| him several hours sleep, and he never has
| slumbered comfortably in Washington
since, on account of the loud snoring that
takes place when he is around. The book
| is entitled IF Christ Should Come to Con-
gress."
The pair will no doubt draw large at
| tendance. Birmingham is of a sporting
disposition, and will take chance at
| anything in sight from a nicllle in the
! slot to horse race, and having drawn
| already one pair, faces up, the pros
poets of deal of fours will call out the
crowd.
Mr. Watson has the reputation as
talker from away back, and Mr.. Taube-
neck says Mr.. Howard. devoted more at
tention to elocution than to his congress
sional duties. hence the entertainment
promises to be at least attractive, if not
convincing.

Major L. is retired army officer. He
came south with the federal army and
made his home in this city. lie draws
liberal pension and has a rent roll of con-
sequence. His income is considerable. He
said to the writer the other day that he
could enjoy advantages in Washington
and other cities that he does not have in
Birmingham, but he lives here for the
sake of the climate. He shows good taste,
for this climate is superb Major l.. said
further that in northern cities he would
enjoy social advantages he does not have
here-that the southern people of this city
never invite northern men to their
homes The criticism is partially true.
There is but little home hospitality in Biz
mingham. But the lack of it Is felt alike
by southerners and northerners. The So
cial life of the city finds its outlet in
clubs. The lack of home entertaining is
explained by the totally unreliable help
that must be depended on 1t is risky
undertaking to entertain at home unless
YOU have reliable servants. The writer
has felt the need of more home hospitali-
ty as well as Major L., and doubtless
many of those who read these lines have
felt the same need.

COMMIT THEM TO MEMORY.

The State Herald publishes this morn
ing the ticket as 1t will be printed by the
various probate judges. One of the pro-
hibition electors, Mr.. Lamar, having re-
quested that his name be not placed upon
.the ticket, changes the position of the
names and the numbers as heretofore
published, and they will not do to go by.
The only safe way to be able to make up
your ticket is to commit to memory the
names you desire TO vote for, and then
you will have no trouble in marking them
on the ticket.
The attention of papers that have been
publishing the ticket with numbers desig-
mating the democratic electors Is called
to the ticket as 1t appears in this issue
of the State Herald. BY comparison they
will readily see that to vote in accordance
with the numbers as published heretofore
the voter will vote for five anti-democrat-
ic electors.
This is an important matter, and the
democratic voters everywhere should be
urged to commit to memory the names Of
the democratic electors.

cook is mistress of the situation. If she
is indisposed, or there is sickness in the
family, or a funeral or the weather in
clement, she fails to appear, and the mis-
tress must get breakfast herself or do
without. Nor does the cook send an eX-
cuse If an employee of a business house
should fail to send an excuse for his alb
sence, he would lose his job, and that is a
serious matter these times. Not so with
the cook. She knows she can get her
place back whenever she wants it, or she
can get another place; perhaps better
one. A good cook is an angel in Birming-
ham.
