GENERAL SHELLEY
Is Satisfied With the State and National
 Outlook.

General Shelley returned last night from visit to Selma. A State Herald re- porter met the chairman in the lobby of the Morris hotel and asked him if he had anything to say for publication as the campaign is virtually over
 "I know of nothing specially" said the general. q am perfectly satisfied with the campaign in Alabama and believe the state will go by a. larger majority for Bryan than 1t went for Johnston in August"
 What do you think of the general re- sult?"
 q believe Bryan will be elected if he gets 65 per cent of the vote boiled for him. He can allow 35 per cent discount and succeed. Everything is favorable for his election if he is given anything like fair deal"
 General Shelly has made a magnificent fight and the result of his work will be shown in plain figures by Tuesdays vote.

Weather Indications.

If the weather changes in the next few days, and that change affects the mercury to the extent that it will prance toward its hole, then we shall have colder weather. We know this much, and so does the average man, but he waits just the same until Old Boreas shrieks and roars him out of house and home. A friendly word of warning now is, to have weather strips put on your doors and windows before the extreme weather gets here. Makes the house air tight, keeps out the cold, and the result is, all are comforta- ble and happy.

SUFFERING KRMENIANS.


Boston, April 4.-From recent letters
from Eastern Turkey, it appears that the
condition of the destitute Ia that sec-
tion is most deplors bic In spite Of the re-
lief work which has been done there.
Recent writer's state that almost the en-
tire Armenian nation Is struggling for
existence under conditions the very con-
temptation OF which almost makes one
long for death. In writing at some length
upon this subject an American in Harput
says;
of stables so that the odor Is almost un-
bearable, their eyes infiamed from the
glare OF the sun on the snow, they pre-
sented a sad sight. Whole families, hun
CRY and scantily clothed, sleep on the
ground mt night. In one place a man
makes pillow OF himself and four sleep
with their heads on him. The people
huddle together in corners, seeking some
protection from the cold.
''Such things exist in the sIums In
other lands, hut here the misery IL inten-
sifed by the rapiditv OF the transition.
Many OF the people were prosperous mer-
chants few months ago. And with
their poverty, they have other ills, the
chief OF which Is ever present fear--a
constant apprehension that makes them
start and tremble at every sound. In
the long evenings they converse i'm whis-
pers lest the enemies bom they know
are listening shsll find out II they still
use their native language, which has
been forbid ien."

RUBBER TRUST EXTENSION.
What President Evans Has to Say on the
Subject.

NEW YORK, April Ar. ID. Evans,
president of the United States Rubber
Company, which controls the agencies of
the Goodyear and Bowers ubber COM
pabies on the Pacific coast, said to an
Associated Press representative that al
though there had been as yet no consoIi-
dation Of the agencies OF these concerns
in the Pacific coast, such a condition OF
affairs would IN all proba bility occur before
long. Both companies are agents for the
Candee goods ana have been controlled
by the United States company for the
past three years so that the union of the
agencies Will have little or TO effect on
prices. Regarding the report telegraphed
from San Francisco that both the Woon-
socket and Boston shoe rubber compass les
were TO lie consolidated with the agency
representing the concerns controlled by
the United States Rubber Company Mr..
Evans said that they we're individual cor
porations aud he thought likely that they
would continue to preserve their indi-
viduality.

PARIS, April 4.-The moderate repub-

aston ishment at the fact that the govern

fusal of vote of confidence by the Senate

The radical newspapers, on the other

revision OF the constitution Is inevitable.
The Matin expresses the belief that the
Senate has hadly chosen the ground for a

quoted as declaring that the Senate will
modify the Malagassy cre1its so as to

Then l5i, l5i died of diseases contracted

II is claimed for Miss Yaw, who sang
at Infantry Hall some time ago, that she
has the most phenomenal range OF voice
OF any singer, either present or past and
If she has, as asserted, a compass of near
ly four octaves, from q below TO r in al
tissin o, she Is without rival living or in
the history of the lyric stage. Parepa
Rosa's compass was two and one half oc-
iaves, ending with ID in alt. Patti in
her best days had range of ID below to
4 in alt, while Sontag reached Il in alt
and Pasta from A below reached ID In alt.
Angelica Catalina's compass was to q in
alt. Mara to T. and La Bastardella to B
fiat, while Jennie Lind's range was from
low ID TO ID in alt. None of these IL will
be noticed exceeds the range claimed by
Miss Yaw. At the same time 1t is just
as well TO remember that quality of tone
is of far greater moment than an extra
ordinary compass. A phenomenal range
is curiosity. A voice of pure quality Is
the greatest and most valuable endow-
ment of the artist.

WOlCOTT'S POSITION.

The Colorado Senator Gives His Reasons
for Supporting the Republican Ticket.
DENVER. Col, Aug. 3.-Senator Ed
ward o. Wolcott has issued a signed
statement outlining his position in the
present campaign. He says the silver
question is most vital, and that while
recognizing that international bimetal-
lism is the most desira BILE means by
which silver could be restored as a
money metal, he firmly believes the
United States could restore it indie
pendently of other nations. He main
tains that his position has always been,
during his seven years in the senate,
the same as that of the other silver
senators. The financial plank of the
republican platform, he says. is far
from satisfactory, but he holds that the
pledge for the furtherance of interna-
tional bimeta llism must be taken in
good faith in view of the party's record
on other questions. The platform is.
he affirms aside from the money ques-
ton, without flaw, and the nominee
of the party man of highest presiden-
tial qualifications.

rev METALS FOR COINS
Pure Nickel for NicIleIs and Aluminium Tor
Cent Pieces.

Cent Pieces.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. -ExperlmentS
with pure nickel and aluminium as
substitutes for the present nickel
pieces and one and two cent bronze
pieces will be made at the minis by
order of Director Preston during Sep
ternber Or October. A resolution was
passed bv the house of representatives
authorizing such experiments. There
is some doubt whether the actual
adoption of a new metal for the
minor coins will be recommended
at an early date by the treas.
ury officials, even if the experiments
prove successful. The objection to
a change in any form of coins or notes
is the disposition of the public to re-
fuse the old forms and insist upon hav-
ing the new. This would drive into
the minis for recoinage S14,O00,OOO in
nickel pieces, which are now in circu-
lation, and 1900, 900 in pennies. The
advantage claimed for pure nickel, in
stead of the alloy now used in five

IN GREAT DEMAND.

Rush on the Treasury Department to Get
the New 81 Silver Certificates.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The demand
on the treasury department for the
new 81 silver certificates is something
unprecedented and has already taxed
the bureau of engraving and printing
much beyond its capacity. These notes
are being issued at the rate of $40, 900 a
day, and the total amount now out
standing is $3.50, 1000. Many bankers
have offered gold for them, and it is
said that they are rated at a premium
of o5 per cent. in Wall street. Owing
to the limited stock on hand the treas
ury is able only to issue them at pres
ent in redemption of old and worn out
silver certificates. The new So and 81
silver certificates will be ready for issue
next week, and it is supposed there
will be a similar demand for them
while they are new.
