A Superb Act.

The American people admire honesty, truth, dash, courage and enterprise. | The New York Journal which was in-
 stru1nentlal in Iiberatfng Miss Cisneros from Cuban dungeon where she had | been confined for nearly fourteen | months without cause, assumes all re- | sponsibdhty for what international com
 It gives the following as it's apology for what it did,
 | The Journal Is quite aware of the rank | iIlegality of it's action. It knows very | we'll that the whole proceeding is law l lessly out of tune with the prosaic and commercial nineteenth century. We | shall not be surprised at international | complications, nor at solemn and re- | buking assurances that the age of | knight errantry is past. To that 1t can be answered that If innocent maidens are still imprisoned by tyrants, the | knight errant is yet needed.
 The Journal Is bound1essly glad that It | has rescued Evangelina Cisneros from the unspeakable Weyler's hands. Span- ish law or no Spanish law, and the comi- ty of nations to the contrary notwith- standing. The Journal is ready to stand all the consequences of what it has done. The main thing is that the wrongad and suffering girl is out of the Casa. Recoji- das out of Cuba out of Weyfer's grasp, and safe under tine stars and stripes. The freedom which the Journal has con- ferred will not be taken away, for we are confident that, whatever else may happen, the American people will see to it that Evangeffna Cisneros shall not be delivered up to Spain.
 No intelligent person can read the above without experiencing a sense of pride and gratitude at the daring and | integrity of an American newspaper. | Spain may call for the delivery of this | young woman into it's power, and if | that be done, it is not improba ble that l that effete monarchy may ask for pun
 ishrnent of MT. Hearst the proprietor of the New York Journal, and those he
 employed to carry into execution the
 daring feat.
 This is unquestionably a case where Spain has right to demand of the United States the delivery of Miss Cis- neros, who is in fact, a prisoner of war; Right or wrong, the American people will endorse and uphold the act of Mr. Hearst, no matter how lawless it may seem. This was a case where the power of Spain had been appealed to by over twenty thousand women of this coun- try for the release of this woman from
 a Cuban prison, where her associates
 were the most depraved upon that
 island. No heed was paid, and it seemed
 that the young girl was doomed to inn
 prisonment as long as she lived; as long
 as she remained upon Cuban soil.
 She is now free and located at some
 place in the United States, but where,
 the editors of the Journal refuse to
 make public. This may lead to war
 with Spain, and if so a more righteous
 war upon the part of the United States
 will never have been begun. The
 nation that won't fight for the liberty
 of an innocent woman Is unworthy of
 the name of civilization.

for fragrant violations of the pure food laws in this state is indicative of a slack conscience in the several communities where the public sentiment would rather that dealers in adulterated foods should escape punishment than that the health of the whole community should be protected. The real question is not brought face to face with these people in this way, but that is really the ef- feet of the general sympathy for the dealer charged with violating the food laws

THE YEAST OF EVOLUTION.
By Sam Walter Foss.

By Sam Walter Foss. The yeast of evolution was dropped into Of the dsifting sea of chaos long ago; And then the cloud shapes gathered and tworld-stuff ffoated mistlike, Till the pulp of stars was hardened and the worlds began to grow. And the yeast of evolution worked upon the plastic planets, And our fire world bubbled mountains to the sky; And our continents emerging shook the sea from off their highlands. And the red-jawed dragons widowed where all life but theirs would die.
 the blood of dragons, And they perlshed and their believing died away; And the slowly mellowing cycles rolled their slow-paced revolutions, And the primal Man came forward and stood naked to the day. And the yeast of evolution grew within bis ainless purpose, And the hairy savage battled, clan with clan,
 Till the strong-armed brute grew conscious of deeper. life within him, And the soul of man grew conscious and revealed itself to man Then the yeast of evolution works it's great And s'' the World World Tree sheds blossoms through the gloom, Till 1t flowers into Moses Homer, Plato, Dante, Shakespeare, Flowers prophecies of flowers that are yet to burst in bloom. For the yeast of evolution works as hith. erto, for ever;
 We are in the morning hours of our day; Down the overwhelming vista whose long stretches end in twilight We shah come on CIV perfections, meet new music on the way. yea tbe yeast of evolution works, as hith- erto, for ever, Far are now the wallowing dragons in their slime; An, but further, further, further is the long, long, way before us, And new visions wait revealment down the thoroughfare of time.

The depravity of some college students seems incomprehensible. On Sunday night last the Princeton foot ball team created a panic in the Rennert hotel of Baltimore by going through the upper stories screaming fire to the top of their voices, which aroused the guests of the house and excited them to such an ex- tent that many women tainted. In ad- dition to this they broke up furniture in a manner that caused the hotel proprie- tor to order them out of the house, tell ing them they could never stop there again. The average college student, and especially the brutal foot ball players, have been lionized so much that they have to every appearance lost all decen- cy and belong properly to the lowest of the low hoodlum classes. The foot ball player should either become re- spectable, If he can, or submit to being driven out of the community and take the place, where he belongs-in the slums, the associate of those of his own class.

The Birmingham Lyceum course which has been formed for this season is worthy of liberal patronage by the pub lie. Lyceum courses such as Is prom ised the people of Birmingham is an intellectual emporium. It brings men of learning who not only entertain but instruct those who have the pleasure of hearing them. It is not a mon y-mak aking scheme, but one for material advance ment measured from an intellectual point of view. The first to begin the winters entertainment will be Robert J. Burdette, one of the most entertaining lecturers on the platform, who makes his appearance tomorrow night After him will come others equally as we'll known, each featuring upon different subjects, and all calculated to elevate the thought and taste of the community.
