OF THE STREET
 AND HOTEL LOBBIES

Free silver and free trade are dead and the country is entering on new era of prosperity" remarked Colonel Thomas Sharp, while seated in the lobby of the Flor ence oonversing with a number of friends. One who knows Colonel Sharpe would never take offense at the free silver and free trade" portions of his remarks. He has his set opinions, but from the jump is always for progress.
 Colonel Sharpe is citizen Of Nashville. Tenn, but has been interested in the mln- eral development of this region for many. years.
 Why. young man." said the colonel in reply to a query in regard to the Centen- nial, "I have not had time to see the great show. My family have visited it regularly. the newspapers say it is grand, and it must be so''
 Colonel Sharpe was questioned about the purpose of his present visit to Birmingham, but declined to give any information.
 When we get ready to make a point, will let you know" said the colonel ir his pleasant way.
 But this section is forging to the front" he continued, ''and in this connec- tion remember well the prediction made by MT. Bell the great English authority on iron and steel. I came to this section in 1874, and boarded in a common frame building that stood right here where the Florence stands now. I accompanied nu- merous experts over the fields of coal and iron and among these was Mr. Bell, whom accompanied in 1875. After examining the quality of ore MT Bell said to me: Friend Sharp, this region will regulate the price of iron within thirty years. You and I may not live to see it, but the day is coming"
 This day came within twenty years. and the vast fields of mineral wealth have not been half developed. You will event. ually find a grade of ore that will greatly facilitate steel making, and there is no question about this being the coming in dustry for Birmingham"
 Colonel Sharp will remain in the city several days. Dr. c. Roland Lewis, of Dolomte, was in the city last evening. He was here to dis cuss the smallpox situation at Dolomte with the local physicians He reports four well developed cases, and the "scare" is on in earnest. Every physician is kept busy vaecinating, more vaccine points having to be ordered daily.
 MT. O. w. Plymate, the gentleman who was stricken with paralysis last Saturday while taking walk on Red mountain, is still confined to his room at the Florence, but is slowly improving.
 J. B. Lacey, merchant of Jasper, Ala, is in the city
 Mrs. A. Gargas, of Tuscaloosa, was reg istered at the Morris yesterday.
 Messrs. H. S. and w. S. Sweet, of De- troit Mich., are in the city stopping at the Florence.
 J. w. Haley, of Owensburg, Ky, is in the city,
 J. F. Boseworth, of Washington, D. C.. is registered at the Florence.

One of the first acts of President and Mrs. Mckinley on their return home to Canton was to drive to the graves of their two little children. whom they lost twenty years ago, and decorate them with fiowers.-New Orleans Picayune.
 After looking the matter over care fully, Tom Watson, of Georgia, an- nounces that the peoples party is on it's last legs. Nevertheless, MT. Watson is clearly determined to ride the unfortu- nate creature to dsath.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 President E. T. Jeffery of the Denver and Rio Grande is said to have been in- vited to the presidency of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. He is of Eng fish birth and has long been recognized as one of the abfest railway managers in the country.-Springfield Republican.
 A dispatch from Atlanta to the Savan- nah Morning News states that Hon. AL len D. Candler, Secretary of State, has denied most emphatically that he has any idea of running for governor. This makes one less to be figured on if the report is true. There are few better men than Allen D. Candler, whether he ever gets to be governor or not.-Lagrange Ga, Graphic.
 It is hard to say whether Rudyard Kip Nng's "SecessionaI" caused more aston ishment because MT. Kiphngs "bluggy" pen wrote it, or because it came out in the Tdmes where it's sentiment was cer- tainly peculiar. Imagine Jupiter Ton ans indorsing the stanza:-

 On dune and headland sinks the fire,
 Lo,a all our pomp of yesterday

 When royalty makes stay at a house everything is upset. The fact that the German empress is going to pass the rest of the summer in ths Bavarian Alps has created quite a stir Her agents. in searching for a suitable cha teau, picked out the Sengerschloss, a-fine property owned by r=tired Prussian officer. who refused the 5000 marks of fered, saying under no circumstances could he rent his property, but he would be very glad to place it at the disposal of th= empress. However, as 1t is con- tfary to etiquette for the royal family to accept faVors from subjects, 5,000 marks were placed at the owners dis posal and as promptly turned over to the poor of the neighborhood. The Schloss is fitted up in a most beautiful fashion, nevertheless workmen have been busy for weeks changing the furniture about and putting in readiness many pieces without which the empress never trav- els. Carved Indian furniture, magnifi- cent tapestries. palms, rare pictures and art treasures of all kinds abound at the Schloss.-Chicago Times.

WITH THE ALABAMA EDITORS.

Worthy suggestions from MT. Thomp- son to the editor of the Mobile Register: MT. N. F. Thompson, of Johnstown, Pa., writes to us concerning colonizing the surplus population of his state in this part of the country. His sugges- tions are worthy of careful attention. The Mobile Register thinks hog and alligator stories are taking the lead: with hogs carrying off babies in Gads- dem and alligators chewing livery horses legs in the midst of the city of Birmingham, summer stories about snakes are at big discount"
 The Huntsville Mercury makes the fol- lowing suggestion:
 Now that the State Herald exists no more forever the Anniston Hot Blast s may return to the party. The Mercury would vouch for the Hot Blast democ- racy, but our certificate too will have to be renewed-and there are others.
 
 Says the poet of the Warrior Breeze:
 A man may guy
 And a man may lie,
 And man may puff and blow,
 But he can't get trad@
 By sitting in the shade
 Waiting for business to grow.
  The Huntsville Mercury is sniffing prosperity from afar, and is feeling good over the situaHIon:
 Prosperity is really coming. The hard times are gradually disappearing. For six long years we have heard little else but failures, pantcs, embezzlements and hard times. The new era will be a most welcome one.
 FTHt.. weeklies are growing better and brighter every year. Now, let it say something that will include Bro. Jelks' big daily. It is true MT. Jelks publishes a weekly, but his daily is shis first pride.-Union Springs Herald.
 All agree that MT Jellks prints a most excellent paper daily and weekly.
 Editor Lane of the Huntsville Tribune (Rep), says:
 We hope the republican party will not feel badly when we quote a ladys re- mark hpon seeing William Vaughan from the Tribune window sitting in a buggy, and was told whom he was. She said: "He is really nice looking; l am astoniShed to see horrid republican well dressed.' May the Lord kindly help that poor woman is our prayer.
 The Montgomery Journal has received news over the grapevine that Mr Lu- cien Walker, consul at Cork, has been displaced. The Journals editor has re- cent.y returned from Washington and doubtless speaks by the card: His friends. and they are legion, had hoped his splendid record and the civil service would retain him in a service which he adorns. We still Hope there is some mis- take about it, though the demands on Mir Hanna are very urgent and democratic blood is very sweet to him.
 The Selma Journal cannot figure how the world can be drying up with such floods of last spring along the Missis. sippi, and says:

geological and other testimony showing
how and why gold was deposited in polar

Many cheap books have been published
in the last few months on the northern
gold fields. but none of these present a
single effort to account for the fact that
such vast deposits of gold were found
in Alaska and other neighboring lands
Here is book that tells how and why
this metal and others must be found IN
polar lands, both north and south. 1t
is volume of 6S pages written by a
practical geologist, Californian; book
of new and startling propositions, which
if true make it worth far more than all
