Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: 'I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the re- suits were almost marvellous in the case of my wife. While l was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible par oxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed
 as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. Kings New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results. !" Trial bottles free at H. c. Hitchcock s drug store. Regular size 5Oc. and $1.

A Beverly, Mass, special to the New York Journal says:
 Capt. William A. Andrews, the famous mariner who has crossed the ocean sey- eral tiT1eS in small boats, and Prof. c. ". Oldrieve, a. water walker, have made a compact to cross the Atlantic ocean. Capt. Andrews will go tn a 145a foot can vas boat, which can be foldtd when not in the water. Prof. Oldrieve will wear the shoes with which he has strolled over New England waters and along the shores of Cuba. By the terms of the compact Capt. Andrews must keep Old rieve in sight and provide him with food when he is hungry, and rest when he Is tired.
 When in need of rest Oldrleve will get into the boat, which must1 be sailed in a circle while he sleeps, so that 1t cannot be said that he did not walk all the dis tance. They expect to land at Havre and will then proceed up the Seine to Paris, and also to olshsr places in Eu- rope. They expect to be rec1mpensed by exhibiting themselves and their boat at one cent-a hsad. The start will be made from Boston harbor.
 The man who wrote the above is haitian. Just why newspapers will give space to such yarns as nsws is a mys- tery. Not one of the readers of such a ridiculous fabrication will believe it. Then, why publish it? Why not invent a column of alleged news about a man who is going to ssl1 ,n a air ship to- the planst Jupl,er? One is about as plausi- ble as the other.
 Any one who has ever gazed upon the ocean in one of its rough moods will see the utter impossibllfty of walking any distance on it's surface, no matter how the walkers shoes may be constructed.

Just Like the British.

The American captain who carried a shipload of supplies to the famine suf- ferers in India is disgusted with his re- ception by the British authorities at Calcutta. In a recent letter the cap tan says that the officials told him that | he would have done better if he had | brought a cargo of gums to aid in kill ing off the natives. The ship was forced to pay duties, although its cargo was a present from the American people. Com menting on the affair." the Houston Post says:
 "The savage cruelty that would pre- fer bullets rather than bread for God s starving poor could find expression only on the lips of pampered officiajllsm. The cold blooded barbarian that could first create famine, and then stay the hand that would nescue the helpless vic ltimS from death, iS a blot and a crime upon the age, and should be execrated from end to end of the world. Little wonder that tenls of thousands of hu- man beings should perish for want of food in India, when the British govern ment, by it$ brutal indifference to their sad fate and it's cowardly rebuke to American generosity, puts tax upon the charity that might save them from the grave"
 If the British hold such heaIltless and fnhuman sentiments, they should at least have the decency to conceal them. When the American people contribute food to save Englands subjects from starva- tion it is insulting in the extreme for the officials who wear the uniform of that country to use the language cred fted to the Calcutta authorities.
 Centuries of civilization and conquest have failed ito change the selfish and brutal nature of the average English man, and this is all the more deplora- ble when the fact. is considered that some of the great leaders who have done SO much for mankind belong to that nation. which is undou btedly one of the foremost in the world.
 The famine in India and the occa- sional periods of distress in Ireland are due to British rapaolty, and the relief should come from the British govern mepn, and not from America When however. the American people open their hearts and their pocketbooks they should not be bullied and insulted for their charity.

TABLE ETIQUETTE.
T. R. S..

Biscuits should be opened with the fingers. In extreme cases an ax is ad- missaIble.
 Never pick your teeth at the table. You will find a better assortment at the dentists.
 Don't rattle your knife and fork. The napkin ring will be found much more musical
 Always eat soup from the side of your spoon. The inside is considered the proper one.
 Game should never be taken in the fngers-unlless, of course, it Is card game.
 Do not rest your arms on the table Stack all your weapons in corner before dinner.
 Never leave the table until the others are through. If in hurry take it with you.
 Never eat pie with a knife. It's all right to eat cheese with pie, but knives should be eaten alone.
 Cigarette smoking is permissible at the talble-if you are dining alone and have grudge against yourself.
 Don't ask your hostess if she lets the sugar bowl with the butter balls. She might mistake you for a humoIist or a lunatic,

Miss Julia MarIowe.

I am glad that Birmingham is finally to have a good attraction alt the ithsalter. The attractions which have been here this season have been bad enough. Pcs sibly the opera house has too many managers. One is enough, and one of the present trio might give the people good shows. Julia Marlowe will be here to- morrow night. She will play For Bon- nie Prince Charley" I would advise everybody who, haIs not seen her to do so. There is DO use of giving advice to those who have seen her. Miss Marlowe is perhaps the best equipped actress on the American stage today. She knows how to act, and besides she Is thor oughly refined and cultivated woman. She is interesting, modest graceful and natural.
 The fair Julia does not tour the coun- try with a fife and drum attachment. She relies upon her acting, because she can act. Those who do not see hsr will miss the treat of the season.

Hayti Is Favored.

MT. McK;nley's administration has TO- tified Germany that she must not make any excessive demonstration against Hayti, or unduly punish her for the ar- rest of the German subject, MT. Leud IFS. Ths people of Hayti are negroes, and they have a republic which Is an abom- ination in the eyes of all decent men, but MT. Mckinley is not willing to see them bulldozed or chasdlsed
 Not very far from Hayti IS the island of Cuba, whose heroic people, are making a fight for liberty. They are plundered. starved and buuchered by the Spaniards. but thsir sufferings do not excite the presidents sympathy.
 It is a pity. but it cannot be helped. Perhaps if the Cubans would elect a black president, fill all the offices with men of that race. and adopt a oonstitu- tion dasfranchis,ng ths whites, MT. Me kinley would then extend the strong arm of the government to add them. AS maitters now stand. our great republic takes no stock in any of its sister repub. lies. unl=ss they are controlled by the ne. Uroes

A Wild Scheme.

At lthe South Georgia Methodist con ference in Savannah, this week, minis ter of some reputation will advocate the establishment tin Georgia of a religious daily, under the auspices of the confer ence. The venture will be failure. It was tried in New York once, with capi- ital to back it, and it was unsuccessful. The World was started as a religious daily newspaper, but in about year 1t changed hands and everybody knows what it fls nova newspaper about as different from a religious organ as any thing could possibly be.
 No denomination needs religious daily. Every secular daily devotes a gtod deal of space to religious matters, church news, sermons and religious com munScadons and miscellany. No charge is made for publishing matter in the in- terest of the churches.
 A religious daily would be expensive, poorly supported, read by few, and 1t is ito bs feared that it would be rather tame and even dull It is not likely that the Georgia Methodists will make the ven- ture.

 "A Dutch physician, Junlus. tells of a nobleman of high rank who, being con- demned to be beheaded, grew gray in one night.

The St. Louis GIoibe-Democrat has the following:
 A remarkable religious nS5vement is | sIli1g on. in the south but 1t is one which | orthodoxy does not look upon with favor. | It IS a systematic attempt on the part | of the Mormon church to secure prose- | lytes to the faith of the Latter-Day | Saints. Ths work is in charge of Elder hlimball, of Salt Lake, president of the | Southern Mormon Propaganda, and it is | his avowed purpose to send at least one missionary to every county in the south. They are also b=ing sent into Southern Indiana, Illnais and Missouri. Chattanooga seems to be a sort of headquarters for the movements. The Mormon missionaries are very active in the eastern part of Tennessee. and it is also convenient to access to that por- tion of Kentucky n which there appears to be the most promising field for the labors of the missionaries. A band of twenty-three "sainits reached Chatta- nooga from Utah last Sunday, and were sent. out in various directions by Elder Kimball Some were sent to Kentucky On Oo7 26 another band of twenlty-thres came in from Salt Lake. and were appor- TPoned out to the southern field of the propa ganda. Four of them went 3tno the Kentucky mountains. Elder Kim ball, their chef, has but httle to say about their operations, but admits that
  says that 250 of these missionaries have been sent out by him during the year. He adds that he has just begun and that they are obtaining proselytes in every dl- rection, although there is still much pr-j- udice against them, and occasionally they are threatened with violence.
 In recent years 'th= Mormons have be- come very active in the southern states, and their missionaries visit every part of Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. Th=y claim that they have abandoned polygamy, and In some localities are very successful in converting ignorant people. As a rule, these missionaries try to convert farmers who have some means. They do not care much for very poor proselytes.
 Under the cons tftut1on and laws they are entitled to protection, but public sentiment in the south may be relied upon to prevent them from making much headway.

Barnum Said It.

For years the newspapers and every body have given Lincoln credit for saying that you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all ths time, but you can't fool all the people all the time" It now turns out that this Is a mistake. The Chicago Times Herald says:
 This especial piece of wisdom was orig inal with Barnum, the prince of show men and humbugs. h is found in his book printed long befor5 Lincoln began to recite his own aphouisms and those oi others before listening nation.
 At some stage of public affairs, when a system of public deceit night hays been recommended to Lincoln by some of his unwise advisers, he may have re- piled in th% language of Barnum, used to explain the frequent changes in the att fractions which he placed before the pub lie. But Lincoln had no systematic humbug in his methods of administra- tion nor dramatic changes fin his msth- eds which would have required him to invent and apply the rascally epigram of an ilinerant snowman whose tricks of trade included all the shams of the ring and the stage, from the woolly horse to Joyce Heth and the What-fs-st.
 No matter who first said 1t, the idea is good one. Barnum was quite cap- able of saying it. His autobiography is wonderfully bright bdok and makes

Very Well Said.

The Atlanta Constitution comes to the defsnse of the Methodist preachers who have been jerked up before their con- ferences on the charge eff not paying their debts. As the Constitution we'll says, the financial policy of the country has beggared thousands, brought gen. eral distress, made 1t impossible for many to pay thslar debts, reduced the salariss of many preachers and left some unable to collect from their congrega- tions.
 Under such conditions, even the best men are in debt, and it is a shame to per secute them for what they cannot help. Everybody, the conferences included, can employ their time to better purpose than in worrying a few poor preachers who cannot get hold of the money to pay their debts promptly.
 The preachers are good men who work for very 1ittle, and as rule they will pay thedr debs as soon as they are able. They deserve sympathy, and not lectures.

Secretary Wilson's Advice.

In his recent address befor4the Georgia legislature. secrdary Wils0t of the de pertinent of agriculture, said that he did not think Ut good policy for | state to produce more cotton than it hpanufac- tured, and he also made the polnt that it was a great benefit to a state 10 have a large number of citizens whq were not agricultural producers, but who con stunned the products of the son in the manufacturing towns where they were employed.
 These ideas are sound. A cotton state should manufacture every pound of its staple. This would keep most of its money at home. and the factories would

build up towns which would offer good home markets to the farmsrs. Daniel Webaser once made a great speech on this same line. He took the position that the farmsrs could not prosper when there were too many farmers. The reason why the New England farmers have pros- pered Is because they have so many man. ufaoturing towns amlang them whose toilers consume their produd.s.
 Some time in the future the south will bs a great manufacturing region, and 1t will then become in the course of time the richest quarter of lhe union.

Queen victoria's g Letters.

The queen is very methodica1 in all her ways, and has always conducted her correspondence on certain Hines, from which she is not Knkely to deviate as she advances in age.
 It is told that her majesty will not read an official letter unless it is pre- sented to her unfolded and without a single crease. Her private letters are without number, and never does the queen forget ito send telegram or note of kindly congraitulation upon the birth days of her German relations. Every morning a little "date-book" is brought ito her, and if after referring ito it the birthday of a grandchlld or a great grfandchild is found noted, g. gift is dispatched to the little one, accompanied by fond words of greeting. The queen, now that her eyesighit is less good, nat urally dictates a number of letters, but there are certain ones, to the Prince of Wales, the Empress Frederick and Lord Salisbury, for instance, which she writes with her own hand, still with freedom and firmness; always upon the same pa- per- white edged with black, and with the royal coronet and name of residence in black also. Besides private letters, there are hundreds of others daily re- ceived which require an answer, penned either by the queens private secretary or one of the many assistants. Very often the queen, who is conscientious in little things as in big, causes inquiry to be made into matters she has not wholly understood. The queens "copy" is very neat looking indeed. Rarely does she make any important corrections in what she has written, as those leIbters which her people have seen reproduced in fac simile have shown.

ENDORSES MATT MINOR.
Believes He Will Become a Social Factor and
 Do Much Good.

Mir Matt Mynor:
 I wish to thank you for your newspa- per remarks of Sunday. I believe you will be instrumental to a certain extent in putting down things in Birmingham society which are most objectionable; certainly such remarks ought to make for that which is good and honest and pure, and as I am an advocate of such things, I want simply to speak a word of. thanks to you for the words of the past and an expression of the hope that others may come in the future.
 When a newspaper man writes in this way he becomes a social factor in the highest sense of the term, and encour- agement is due him.
