evidence that the rest OF the Republican

Senator Davis, is concededly Repub-
ican. The Republicans have certainly
elected four congressman, the other
three being doubtful rather than posi-.
lively Democratic. In fact, the Demo
Gratis have about abandoned their claim
that Heatwole has been defeated by
their candidate in the Third, while
some of the later returns from the Sixth

ACCEPTED THE
 FAITH 0F JUDAISM
Impressive Confirmation Cere mony at Temple Emanu-
 Fl Yesterday.

At Temple Emanuel yesterday a class of nine young people were confirmed into the faith of Israel by Rabbi Morris Newfield, in the presence of a large congregation. The Temple was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and evergreen and the ser vices were beautiful and impressive. The choir, under the direction of Professor Benj. Guckenberger, rendered a special musical programme.
 At Il o'clock the confirmants entered the temple and marched up the aisles to the altar, headed by President B. Steiner, on the left, and Vice-President s. Klotz, on the right. They were then seated on the rostrum and the ceremonies began.
 The class was examined in the creed of Judaism and responded promptly to the question. The prayers by the members of the class were feelngly offered and the reading from the Torah or Holy Law showed excellent training in Hebrew.
 The confirmants were: Misses Marcelle Klotz, Rosa Spiro. Jeanette Mayer, Rachel Joseph. Minnie Lazarus Corinne Hochetad- Ter, and Bertha Wiel and Masters Sam Block and Sidney Cornell.
 Rabbi Newfield addressed the confirmants and in few words impressed them with the solemnity of the occasion and of the responsibility that would rest upon them as 1sraelites. His remarks were very im- pressive and beautiful and brought tears to the eyes of many of the congregation.
 In the afternoon the confirmants were at home to their friends, who called in large numbers to extend congratulations
 The confirmants were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents.

From the present indications. Brming- ham will respond as nobly to Mckinley s second call for volunteers as she did on the first call. It was learned yesterday that Professor A. w. Orton, principal of Orton's Business college, was getting up a company of infantry volunteers, and is succeeding splendidy with it. Professor Orton's business has been such that he has been brought in close contact with hun dreds of young men, and they are now com ing up nobly to join his company. The re- cruiting is being done at the college, 1141a Twenty-first street.
 The news was also printed the other day that Dr. Byron Dozer was getting up company, and 1t is understood that he is getting on very well with 1t.

ciared vehemently. 'I thought was Ie- gally married to him and he has introduced me as his wife. We had six children and one boy Is living. He was married to Miss Judd, as I learn now, on May IS, 1897, and on the 21st gave birth to twins. More than that when he first went to see her he left when one of our children was sick and when he returned he found it a corpse. I first caught up with him by letters from her in his pocket and during the last few weeks my suspicious have been aroused because he never stayed at home at night. f''There were two witnesses to our mar riage" she continued. "Mr. Williams said the man who performed the ceremony was justice of the peace, but did not know him."
 Williams admits that he is the father of the 4-year-od boy referred to by Mrs Williams, Harris, or whoever she may prove to be. He spoke fondly of the lad last night, saying he was bright and he had intended to educate him and keep him out of the bad company which he de- claTed the woman would undoubtedly sub ject him to. He was rather non-plussed when informed that his alleged wives had met at the police station and talked the matter over. He appeared curious to know what they had said.
 The Story of Wife No.
 Mrs. Williams No. is a shy country girl, untutored in the ways of the world. She thought she was legally married and lived as happy as a bride could be until her husband began neglecting her.
 T loved him. she said as tears trickled down a pretty face. "He boarded with my father and we were married at home. justice of the peace, who did not know, married us, and we have lived happily un- til few weeks ago, when he began being absent from home and gave me a very small amount of money. He said he was doing the best he could, that he was out of work. I believed him until heard of this other woman. I don't know what will do in all this trouble I have written for my father to come and take me home"
 It is said that Williams. in leading his double life, always ate supper and break fast with wife No. 2 and spent the day and took dinner with wife No 1.
 Before he was arrested by the police wife No. attempted to have a warrant sworn out before Justice Benners, but this was unsuccessful, and she sent for the police and the arrest was made by Officers Sharp and McCullom.
 The case may come up before Judge Feagln this morning, and at present, what charges will be preferred Is doubtful problem. It is claimed that the courts will recognize wife No. 1 as his lawful spouse. Then the charge will probably be bigamy.

REPUBLICANS WILL COOPERATE" With the "Cits" Ticket and
 Will Have Three OF THEIR MEN ON 1T "Cits" Meet At Noon Today-"WiII Put Out Better Men Than The Dem
 ocrats Have Done."

The county executive committee of the republican party met yesterday at 11:SO o'clock to decide upon the advisability of putting out county ticket. There were about twenty out of the twenty-three mem bers of the committee present. and in the absence of Chairman w. H Harney, of Bessemer, J. w. Donovan was made tenn porary chairman and b. A. Brown, tenn porary secretary.
 w. c. Hanlin, of Avondale, A. J. Prince, of Pratt City, and R. l.. Ruffn, M. L. Fowlkes and E. A. Brown, of Birmingham, were selected a committee of five to de- eide upon this county ticket They were to confer with the leaders of the "citi- zens' ticket to see hlat the combined strength of the opponents of the democrats amounted to, and were to report back to the executive committee at 5:30 o'clock.
 This was done, and the outcome of it is that the republicans will in all probabili- ty have three of their number put on the ''ctizens'' legislative ticket. They say that this is not fusion with the populists, who are the most generous supporters Of the "citizen' movement, but that 1t Is simply cooperative plan by winch they can uefeat the democratic nominees, and elect what they consider better and more representative men to the legislature The committee of five also recommended that candidat for circuit clerk be put out. The whole report of this committed, in cluding the names recommended, was en- dorsed by the executive committee.
 Not Partisan Movement
 Dr. c. B. Grove and other leaders of the citizens movement, admitted that if the republicans proposed good legislative can didaates they would probably be put on the ticket. The idea of the citizens move ment is not, they say, partisan one, but simply to send six better, much better men, they say, to the legislature than the demo- crats have put up. They also said that there was no fusion in the combination.
 The following republican judicial execu- tive committee of the Tenth circuit was announced by Chairman Vaughn yesterday. and 1t is thought that they will nominate a judge to make the race against Judge Coleman the democratic nominee.

 As has been announced in The Age-Her- ald, the mass meeting of the citizens will be held in the populist headquarters in the Opera House hotel today at noon. Dr. Grove said last night that the indications were that large number of voters would be in attendance. He said he thought that under the call. the meeting would have no authority to nominate any other candidates than the six for the legisla- ture.

last long, but more will be sent him from time to time. By purchasing Mexican dol- lars great saving is made. It is possible to obtain Mexican dollars at 46 cents each, thus obtaining for one American dollar two Mexican ones and leaving cents over toward the purchase of aS third. In other words Uncle Sam was able to buy 250.00 Mexican dollars for s116.000. They were bought in San Francisco.
 In the Philippines a Mexican dollar will buy more than an American dollar, so that the expenses of General Merritt's expedition after 1t once lands in Manila will be less than one-half what it would otherwise be. As to the soldiers they will fare excellently under this arrange ment for they will, of course, be paid &C., cording to law in American money. The paymaster will give each soldier two Mexi- dollars for every American dollar due him on pay day.
 Eight thousand cork helmets have been sent from the Philadelphia hat depot to San Francisco. They are for the Philip pine expedition The depot quartermaster here opened bids for 10000 additional hel- nets. The helmets are to be made of cork, which renders them light and waterproof. The firm of Charles Levy's Sons was the lowest bidder. offering to furnish the 10,- GOO at $1.25 apiece and deliver them at the rate of 4,000 week.
 The contract will be awarded to this urfn 1T the QuartermaSter general does not succeed in making cheaper arrange ments with a Chinese firm in Hong Kong. The quartermaster general has cabled to this Chinese firm and expects an answer at once. If they have the helmets there they can, of course, furnish them much cheaper and without the trouble and delay or long transportation. Chinese helmets are made of pith, a woody substance, a good substitute for cork.
 In connection with General Merritt talk ing large quantity of money with him to Manila, it is interesting to note that he will be quite removed there from official supervision. His chief quartermaster will be practically quartermaster general and the same will be true of his chief commits Sary.
