Connie Murphy Proves That HIS wilkes
Mare is Good ROADSTER.

Connie Murphy and John J. Cream be-
came involved in a discussion Saturday
night over the speed abilities Of the for
mers road mare Anna Wilkes. The
owner made the statement that the
mare could road IA miles an hour and
pull two men. This statement Cream
doubted, and the result of the differ
ence of opinion was bet Of 800 side.
Sunday was decided upon as the day
for the trial. and by mutual agreement
course from Stearns square to the
Joslin House, Webster. was selected as
course IA miles in length. The wagers
were posted in the hands Of Jerry Rea-
gan, and he was agreed upon as starter,
referee and timer To serve in this
triple capacity it was necessary for Mr..
Reagan to accompany Connie, and so It
was that Anna Wilkes started out Sun
day afternoon hitched to light sleigh
containing Messrs. Murphy and Reagan
The trial of speed and endurance at
tracted the attention of a large crowd,
and when the starting point was reached
many sleighs were drawn up. Several
men started ahead of Connie, but few
Of them were in Webster ahead Of him.
n
word and the mare started going fast
but well within herself. On the road
the mare overlook and left behind the
crowd which had started ahead of her
Connie did not draw the whip from the
socket once during the trip, as the game
mare readily responded to any urging
from her driver.
The drive was cold and the wind
against the mare, but she justified
the confidence reposed in her by
her owner, and was pulled up at the
Joslin House in Webster at S27:50, max
ing the time for the IA miles, so minutes
and so seconds. The announcement
Of the trial was well received by
a crowd of Websterites, and they with
the Worcester party. which arrived
soon. afterwards, showered congTatu-
latiohs upon Connie and his plucky
mare. The animal was given rest
after her fast work, and then returned
to this city at pace somewhat slower.
Among those who accompanied Con-
ME on the trial were Jerry Reagan, Pat
Reagan, P. ]. Foley and wife, J. j.
Cream and wife, James Conlon, James
Fox, ]. L. Murphy, T. ]. Quinn, Ed.
| Jones, John Moriarty, James Marren,
Nat Davis, John Sullivan.
A report was current about the city
last night that Connie had received and
accepted an offer for Anna Wilkes, but
when seen about midnight Mr.. Murphy
declared that he had not sold the mare,
He allowed that if he sold the animal
he would lose his wife.

MIR. HOUSTON REPLIES
To the Statements of Messrs. Little and
 Kennedy.
the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In reply to an article under the caption, '"The Democrats of Bessemer, Etc. in your issue of the 14th I desire to say that there were more than three gentlemen from BeSsemer interested in the bill to es- tablish a police commission for that city. That did not appoint the police commits sion; that I did not agree to recommend for positions on the commission just such and only such men as a mass meeting gotten up by the disappointed gentlemen would suggest. The bill passed by agree ment Interest on both sides were com promised in order that there might be har- mony in the Jefferson delegation in the house. Good faith has been kept with all parties interested. No man has ever be- fore dared to question the democracy of MT. Rush and any reflection on my democ- racy is beneath the notice of fair minded men. One knowing the political situation in Bessemer can but wear a charitable smile when the gentlemen in question speak for the democrats of Bessemer. I have en- deavored faithfully and conscientiously to discharge my duties to the good people in grand old Jefferson and especially tc those In the Marvel City, and when the results are fully known I believe that they will be satisfied.

INTEREST IS
 INCREASING Mdnu HlOn Grade Pianos
 Y6t to 60. SEALS BROS.' GREAT SALE The Statement That This Firm Is 10 Go Out of Business Is
 No Joke.

As stated in our first announcement we will. positively close our doors and our firm will go out of business when our obligation to take so many pianos is discharged. We are compelled to take them and we are obliged to sell them.
 To close up a business of eighteen years standing just when Birmingham is taking on new life and form is an unusual move we frankly admit, but we know our own affairs best and our purpose to go out of the mercantile business is fixed.
 The only question that interests the public is how much money can be saved by buying high grade piano now, and we tell you positively from $1OO to s2O0. A fine piano is the crowning feature of every parlor; a poor one is the object of ceaseless annoyance.
 While they are going so cheaply and on such easy terms get one like the musicians of the world use and endorse.
 Anton suide says: q commend the Kim ball piano as a strictly frst-cass instru- ment'"
 Walter Damrosch: "The Kimball piano has pure refined and powerful tone" From Lohse-Klopsky: Are superior to the best American or European makes" We offer special bargains for today. Pianos from $136 all the way to $S75. Open evenings till o'clock.
