IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE

Wiley C.. TunstaAl, of Greensboro, after a
 sojourn of several weeks at the Morris yes-
 terday afternoon turned in his key, settled his accounts and started southward toward his home.
 MT Tunstall was a. disappointed man. He bore all the appearance of man who had tried and failed. He had a care-worn expression that bespoke hard work and no results.
 The fact was MT. Tunstall had been sit-
 ting on a lot of political eggs, so to speak,
 for the last twenty-one days, and they had
 failed to hatch, and those that did hatch
 were of the Mcclellan breed of chickens
 He realized that the old parable of the
 sitting hen' was true, so that it is now
 an open question of whether he will turn
 trolling stone' or continue his journey
 through the state, or turn "prodigal son"
 and go home.
 MT Tunstall's work for Judge Mcclellan
 in this county didn't amount to much. He
 picked his men and began his antf-McClel-
 Ian campaign. He talked and sweated and sweated and talked with those Mcclellan
 ties, but they handed him the ice pitcher"
 He almost prayed with those unbelievers,
 but they continued to hold fast to their
 motto Thirty delegates for Mcclellan or bust"
 MT. Tunstall can stand a lot of cold deals, but during the last few days they
 have been getting so decidedly frigid that
 he gave 1t up and set out for "anti-Arctic"
 regions in the wire grass.
 The guests of the Florence were afforded
 rare treat yesterday afternoon in the
 form of wholesale scrap between some
 newsboys. The Bully of the Block be-
 gan the scrap by throwing several little
 fellows down and pumping their heads on
 the sidewalk. larger boy happened along who assumed the role of Init fellow your
 size" He had two bricks nearly as large as he was and proceeded to in inch up to
 the bully.
 The latter grabbed up a large kitchen fork lying in the street and proceeded to
 beat the champion of the dowp-trodden"
 over the face with it. The Champion"
 wasn't strong enough to wield his bricks
 with much effect, and in the meantime the
 bully, with the fork, was getting in good
 work. The boy with the bricks began to
 bleed like a. pig, and then for some req son, the bully got disheartened and '1it out' down the street as hard as he could The boy with the bricks followed, loudly calling police" but there wasn't no po- lice" A big crowd followed, who enjoyed the scene immensely. The bully finally suc- ceeded in losing himself, but the boy with the bricks continued his search until nearly night.
 "The University of Alabama Is in most prosperous condition," said President James K. Powers of that institution, to an Age- Herald reporter yesterday. q am on my way now to the commencement exercises of the medical department of the University of Mobile, which occurs next Friday. There will be forty graduates in the medical de- pertinent and five graduates in the phar- maceutical department.
 "The academic department is fully up to the medical department. The new cata- logue, which will be issued in a few weeks, shows the largest number of matriculates in the academic departments since 18Sg The law department Is smaller in num- bers than it has been in number of years, though the students are doing good work. There are several causes for this. In the first place, this is the first year of the two- year law course, and the price of tuition has been increased. In the second place. the new law in regard to the admission of attorneys to the bar only went into ef- feet January 1. and before then every young man in the state who intended prac- ticing law and could possibly squeeze through did so in preference to taking a long course at the university.
