scriber by n Young Woman
Book Agent.

A gentleman of this city who has
not much time for reading, yet is
ldnd-hearted and particularly suscep-
tible to the pleadings of the gentler
sex, was recently approached by a
lady who is acting as subscription
agent for a new publication. When
the subscription list was presented to
him the gentleman would have liked
TO decline to purchase, as he did not
wish the volume, but the lady was
persistent and he was weak, and he
put down his name, hoping that for
tune would find for him some way out
of the difficulty, says the Baltimore
News.
Later the lady called to deliver the
book and to collect the money, but he
had contrived to be out. And every
time afterward when she appeared he.

thence became exhausted and she left
for his perusal this note:

QUEER WAYS OF "COvITES. F."
II You Refuse to buy of Them Your
Neighbor May Get the
Article Free.

In an article on the "Covites" of the
Cumberland mountains, published in
Ladies' Home Journal Sarah Barn.
well Elliott says: "The people are usu-
ally squatters on small lots of un-
cleared mountain land, which is ex-
tremely shallow andpoor. They usually
live in log or slab houses-sometimes
'chinked' and sometimes not; some
times with the floor and sometimes
without-eing out an existence by
peddling either the nuts and fruits OF
the wilderness, or theiryery poor 'gyar-
den truck They are very keen a bar
gain, even when they have no idea Of
the proper value of the thing in hand,
and though they are very hospitable
when you come to their houses, and
will give you anything they have in
the way of food, they will never give
you anything that they have brought
to sell. They may give it to your cook,
or to your next door neighbor, or they
may throw it away just outside your
gate, but you having declined to pay
their price they will not give it to you
at least, not that special article"

Oldest Loaf of Bread.

The oldest loaf in existence is in the
thorities. 1t was discovered in Assyria
by French explorer, together with
the remnants of several other pieces
of bread carefully wrapped in cloth
1t is supposed that it was leavened and
baked about the year $50 B. c., when it
was the custom to put food in the cof-
fin with dead person. 1t resembles
an ordinary penny bun in shape and
color, and is in perfect condition.

market for year and the price will go to 50 cents per pound. The world looked to America to supply them.
 The senator next designated yellow pine as the third monopoly of the south. Bir- mingham had the greatest of these mon opolies. Senator Morgan here came to the meat of his subject.
 'I want to put the people of the south, continued he, ito trading their monop- olistic products to foreign countries. We haven't markets enough at home"
 He then told why Birmingham could make iron cheaper than anywhere else in the world and how this would enable her to dictate the market price.
 'The man who fixes the price of iron," he thundered, "has more power than kings, or emperors, or armies. You can do that which no other American could do until the mineral fields around Birming- ham were opened-present product and price 1t to the world. ,r

~THE PLAYN

The Cleveland Wilson Minstrel company
 was the attraction at O'Brien's yesterday afternoon and last night, large-sized audi ences being in attendance at both per- formances. George Wilson, the only one of his class was the feature of the entertain ment, though there were a number of other very good specalties. The stage setting for the first part" was very pleasing. The singing was, on the whole, well received, especially that Of the Troubadour Four It must be admitted. however, that some of the jokes cracked have been heard in O'Briens several times before. F.. M. Hall gave a history of the banjo since its in- ventlon back in the thirties, and then showed how to play the instrument. The Parent Brodaldi troupe of acrobats, Greve and Sanford in a regulation comedy musi- ca, and Cain, Keno, Welsh and Thomas in a new and attractive bit of comic acro- battles, were other features of the perform

while and in the meantime the commer- cial clements of the Pittsburg of the south should be cutting the grooves for this for eign trade.
 Senator Morgan was greeted by large audience, numbered among which were many ladies who followed closely the premier stateman's clear delineation of Americas trade conditions and the advan- tages of her new possessions. The frc- ouent and enthusiastic outbursts of ap- plause attested the great popularity of Alabama's senior senator in his home state.
 He is a firm, business-like speaker. He nroceeds in a slow deliberate manner and never drops a point until it is thoroughly discussed. He looked in good health last night and was in a most pleasant frame or mind. His speech was almost two hours in length but the interest of the crowd which filled all the seats, many being forced to stand in the rear, never waned.
 He entered the hall under the escort of Chairman D. K. Campbell and a number of the members of the congressional cam paign committe. The committee took seats on the rostrum and the speaker was introduced by MT. Campbell. He said:
 "The speaker of the evening needs no Introduction to an Alabama audience. I have the honor to present Senator John T. Morgan" (Applause)
 Birmingliam's Future
 If I were speaking in Chicago or San Francisco" the senator began, "I would mt feel any more assurance of the future prosperity and welfare of those cities than I do for the future of Birmingham"
 No matter where man came from he was impressed with the strength. value and great qualities of this section. This great valley lying between two elevations, that in some countries would be called mountains, occupied the most beautiful site for a city that he knew of. It had indefinite width for expansion; wealth boundless and incxhaustfble that would never fail to be of value as long as this was a civilized world. In the midst of this wealth was manufacturing center flat

COMIC PARADE.
This Will Be One of the Features of the
 Mardi GraS.

Leon Friedman and Walter Lindsay, two newspaper men of this city, will have charge of one of the parades next Mardi Gras, which bids fair to be one of the most taking features of the carnival
 They have been "commissioned' by Gen. eral Manager Rountree to get up a. funny parade. Friedman and Lindsay are simply overhowing with fun, wit and bright ideas, and in their hands the comic parade ought to be a success. It will be something on the order of the "Phunny Phorty Phel- lows" [" parade in New Orleans, and will be filled with local hits and take-offs. They will proceed quietly with their work and organize a society for this purpose, the name to be announced later. This society w. have entire charge of the parade, fur nishing the floats and the people on them.
 It is thought that the order of the various parades will be follows:
 Monday afternoon, February 13-Arriyal of Rex and his welcome by the military and other organiZa tions.
 Monday nighttime first grand night parade
 Tuesday mornlng-Comic parade.
 Tuesday afternoon-Blg trades parade.

had no equal. His conviction was that had every facility for growth and progress and the, only thing needed was means or cheap transportation to foreign markets
 'That is the situation tonight, ne continued. "There is something you need which you can lay your hands on if you want it. No man ever passed great opportunity without embracing 1t that he did not repent
 He felt sure that from the progress or Birmingham and from the character of the men who made it that this opportunity could be seized if they would only agree with him that 1t was present.
 The senator declared that Alabama had one monopoly-one source of wealth su- perior to any other in the world-pig iron It might not be superior to some mines, but the vastness of 1t made it the great est He then dealt with the advantages of getting the product out to inland and exterior points.

ture. People were clothed with fabrics spun on the spinning wheel When was a boy in Alabama there wasn't a cotton factory nearer than New York. Once and awhile you found an enterprising man with a wool carding mcahine. That was all that was here and I am not such an extraordinarily old man. Things move rapidly, and successfully. This is the only country that goes along without making mistakes and losing its footholds When was a boy helped pack cotton in bags with a crow bar to send to Great Britain. 1hey sent us back a print that you can get HOW Tor cents yard. You paid 10 cents for them then and when a lady got one of these dresses she wanted to go to every meeting within forty miles.
 England Got the Start
 England got the start of us. Finally people up north began spinning our cotton. They got so rich that they sold off their negroes to the south. They did this so we could make more good cotton for them to spin. They were very shrewd, nice peo- pie. No cotton is raised in England. but they regulate the price. Suppose the peo- pie of the south could control the price of cotton as Birmingham has shown itself able to control the price of iron. What would hinder this country from becoming the richest and remaining the richest country in the world. Why do we, great, free, energetic, wonderful people, with 6 monopoly of cotton, submit to having this cotton priced in Liverpool? I could give several reasons, but I am afraid will of- fend few democrats who are still saving their prayers to Aaron's calf daughter.)
 For awhile the speaker then touched upon our foreign possessions. Events had
The age-herald., 1898-10-29

been shaping themselves rapidly. Some people had become alarmed. Then he paid a pretty tribute to the justice and fairness of America and the fact that the Hispano- American war was one for humanitys sake. The people of America were con- scious of the rectitude of their motives and policies He not afraid to let the American young man with aspirations strike out for himself. He was not dis posed to curb him. Let him enter any en- terprise that's legitimate in any country of the world.
 Quite the most beautiful feature of the senator's address was his reference to the work before the missionaries in the coun- tries rescued from Spanish persecution. He showed how the principles of free gov ernment had been carried to Hawaii by these noble workers
 'I love Alabama" he said; '"I revere Alabama and her people-the name is dear to me- But I am bound to say that in many respects the people of Hawaii are superior to those of Alabama. The gov ernment is better in many respects, What was it? That power of truth which the white man carries into all the dark places of the world. I would like to say there was not in Alabama a child eleven years old that could not read and write It is so in Hawaii, but can't say that for Ala bama People live with unlocked doors there, and a woman can go about at ail hours unmolested. Any one she meets will help her on her journey. I would like to say this for Alabama.
 The only woman he ever saw upon the bench was in Hawaii. He was not in favor of putting the ladies on the bench for he thought they had the honor of giving judg- ment enough anyhow.
 The Philippines, he said, were of tho same race of people, and it might be that when the bonds of church and state were severed that the power of accretion would put them in state capable of self-gov- ernment. He did not feel like turning his back on these people and saying jet the Spanish persecnte them.

Remember the Maine

Lincoln J. Carter, always up-to-date in stage mechanism, is out with another thrill lingly interesting melo-drama, which is en- titled Remember the Maine." The new production is founded on the recent His pano-American war, and is one of the most patriotic plays ever produced. The play is strong, the cast exceptionally good and the scenic effects are said to be even more sensational than Humanity which is so pleasantly remembered from last sea- son. This play comes to O'Brien's Tuesday night November 1.
