AT THE MILLINER S

General Sheridan, as he became old CT. conquered his shyness. At the time of the Commune he was in Paris with
 his aide-de-camp. There was also stop ping at the same hotel a charming American woman with. whom he was slightly acquainted. The prisoners
 had been liberated and were rushing
 madly through the streets. The order had also been given that all windows and shutters must be kept closed. Shut in her dark room and hearing the noisy rabble below the woman became greatly alarmed.
 There is but one thing fer me to
 do," she cried. to insure safety. will put myself under the care of the Amer ican general"
 She therefore sent her card to Sheri-
 dan, who at once called and offered his services. He also advised that she should join his party in the morning and get away to London. Still she ap-
 peared distressed. Finally she cried: Ut is my bonnets at Virot's. They
 were to have been. done today. How can I go and leave them?" The general grasped the situation and offered his arm to escort her to
 the milliner's. Happily, it was not far off. Ever afterward he delighted to
 tell of his pleasure at seeing such an
 array of dainty headgear. He had never been at milliner's before.-Cin-

God in peace, because they believe that Ia day of rest is needed by all, and be- cause they know that Washington was right when he wrote that reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. Greed 'ot gain and love of pleasure are ever melting men to make inroads upon the Sabbath. It was not intended for work or for pleasure, but for rest and religious activity-for worship study of the word and kindly ministrations to the sick and the aff1icted-not for a holiday, but for a holy day. If man were a mere animal he might afford to have a good time; being nobler, he should live to glorify God. It would be well could we have half holiday on Saturday to give workers more needed time for relaxation, thus enabling them to reap some of the benefits of inventions which should shorten the hours of labor. We need more music, more rest in these busy lives of ours, but we make mistake when we seek them by disobeying Gods laws and neglecting His worship. Our efforts should be directed to the perpetuation not of the Spanish, but of the American Sabbath.

PRIEST AND PULPIT.

Extracts on the Sabbath by Rev. Lewis Halsey, D. D., Sunday, June IA. 1898. Text, Exodus 1929: "The Lord hath given you the Sabbath
 When we receive gift, we are un- der some obligation to the giver. God has given us the Sabbath and has told us how we may use it for our good and His glory.
 The opponents of the Sabbath day are many and powerful. Always leaders among them we find the sa- Icons and panderers to mans animal nature. United with them are hand fal of good people who sometimes seem to be unwilling that others should wor- ship God at all unless in accordance with the dictates of these good peoples consciences.
 Law, divine and human, teaches the observance of the Lords rest day. Moral law speaks with authority to all mankind: Thou shalt keep the Sab bath, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not commit adultery"-these are the laws of the state as well as the laws of the church, for upon their enforce ment depends the stability of the state. Ours is a Christian nation. Our con- stitution. our coins, our calendars testify to this fact This is the year, 1898, in the year of our Lord. Our coins bear the legend, "In God we we trust" We proclaim to the world that "by the grace of God these states are free and independent" The founders of our republic were men of faith and prayer. They built churches as well as school houses. Among them we recall the Puritans, the Dutch, the Quakers, the Catholics under Lord Bal hmore, the Cavaliers, the Huguenots. Nearly all our presidents from Wash ington to Mckinley have been pro- Iessed Christians The churches in ~our land have grown relatively more powerful. In 1908 the ratio of church members to the whole population was one to fourteen; in. 1890 it was one to five.
 Liberty depends upon law. Every good citizen recognizes this fact, and IS ready to uphold the majesty of the law. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are in danger where law does not exist or is not enforced.
 Who ask for Sabbath legislation? Christians, good citizens, statesmen. Why? Because they wish to worship

BANNER YEAR FOR EXPORTS.

The farmers of the United States are drawing upon other parts of the world for more money in the fiscal year which ends this month than in any preceding year in the history of the country. Exen the highwater mark of 1892, when our ex- ports of agricultural products amounted to s799, BPS, ,232, will be surpassed by the record of the year which closes this month.
 The preliminary reports of May expor- tations have reached the bureau of sta tistics make it quite appar rent that the agricultural exports of the year will be considerably in excess of $500, 000,0 900, the total for the year being likely to reach $835 O0O, 900. Never before have the ex- ports of the agricultural products reach ed the $500, 900, 600 line, and never but twice have they been as much as $7O0,- GOO. 600, the two occasions in which they passed the $700, 900 GOO line being in 1881 and 1892. Compared with the last fiscal year the increase in exports of agricul- tural products will be fully $50 GOO, 900, while the total will be fully 50 per cent of that of the fiscal year 1885,
 In breadstuffs alone the exports of the year will amount to nearly 100000 for each business day, and will be more than $100, ,000, 600 in excess of last years exports of breadstuffs. Nearly all art icles classed as breadstuffs have partici- pated in this increase. Of wheat the value of the exports for the fiscal year 1893 will be more than double those of the fiscal year 1897, while the increase in four will be nearly 50 per cent and of corn nearly 50 per cent in value. May exports of corn were larger than those of any other month in the history of the country. while the total exports of corn for the year for the first time will pass
 the 200. 600 900 bushel line. the total in only three proceeding years having reached the 100, ,OO0, GOO bushels. Cornmeal oats and oatmeal and rye show a strik- ing increase, the gain in oatmeal being more than 60 per cent over last year and that of oats 100 per cent, while in rye the gain is also phenomena1ly large. In provisions in which term are in- cluded beef, hog and dairy products, there is also marked increase, the total exports of provisions for the year being likely to reach s160.0OO. 600 in value. Most of this increase, however. is in hog pro- ducts. exportations of bacon, which were s34. .1H in value last year. being likely
 to reach s44, O9o.000 this year, and lard

of nearly $S,0O0,0O Live beef seems to be gaining in popularity with our foreign customers, the exports of beef cattle having increased materially. while those of beef. either fresh. canned or salted. have failed to show any increase. in most cases a decided falling off being noticeable. The exports of beef cattle during the first ten months of the fiscal year were 379, 663. against 310.47S pounds in the corresponding months of last year, while fresh beef in the same period fell form PAP, O34 pounds in ten months of 1897 to 227. .343,3 ,373 pounds in the cores bonding ten months of 1898. Salted beef shows fall of 35 per cent for the year and canned beef from 46. 349,OO6 pounds in the ten months of 1897 to A, ,011, ,129 pounds in the ten months of 1898.

Nicely says that he informed these gen. tlemen of the night that he had no mon- ey or valuables, having taken care to leave all he had at his boarding house. With this the midnight marauders told him to move on, without even going through the formality of searching him.

BUYCK & THOMAS PROPERTY
Said to Have Been Sold Yesterday to
 the Alabama Real Estate Company.

It was reported yesterday afternoon that Sol Haas, Judge T. B. Lyons, and Joseph Bryant all directors in the Sloss, Iron and Steel company, had bought up all of what is known in Birmingham as the Buyck & Thomas property. It consists of the three big stores on the south side of First ave- nue, next to the Alabama National bank building. Ten small stores down at the corner of First avenue and Seventeenth streets, and seven small stores in sonth Twentieth street. The first property men, tioned is very valuable. being among the best located business houses in the city. The stores on the last two purchases are not so valuable, but the land is considered as very desirable.

MRS. KLEIN DEAD.
Formerly of Montgomery and Married
 Birmingham Man.

After an illness of four weeks of a com plica ton of diseases, Mrs. Lena Klein, the wife of Alex I. Klein, died yesterday after noon at 5:30 o'clock at the residence or her brother-in-law, Henry w. Bernheim, 16lS Fourth avenue
 Mrs Klein was in the zenith of young womanhood, being only 30 years of age, and her untimely death was shock to her friends and loved ones.
 The deceased was formerly Miss Lena Dreyfus of Montgomery, reigning belle of that city, where her parents, MT. and Mrs S. Dreyfus, still reside.
 She was married in 1888 to Alex l. Klein of this city, where she has since resided, and by her many lovable traits of charac- ter drew around her a large circle of ad- hiring friends. She leaves one child, little daughter, two and a half years Of age
 Besides her devoted parents, husband and babe, three sisters, Mrs. Bernheim of this city, Mrs. Mohr of Montgomery, Mrs. Stern of Dallas, Tex, and one brother, Dave s. Dreyfus, of Montgomery, survlve her.
 It is probable that the interment will take place in Montgomery, although the funeral arrangements have not been completed.

JAMES G. CALDWELL
Of This City Made Personal Assignment
 in Louisville on Thursday.

The news comes from Louisville that James G. Caldwell, president of the Bir- mingham rolling mill of this city, on Thurs
 y last made personal assignment in that city for the benefit of his creditors. The news from Louisville says that Mir. Caldwell's assets amounted to at least ESQ., O9o, and that the assignment was precipi- tated by the assignment of suit last Tues day by the Louisville Trust company for about 5000 claimed to be due on note.
 This assignment in no way affects the credit or standing of the Birmingham roll ing mill, of which MT Caldwell is president. In fact the affairs of the company are not in the slightest manner affected by the as- signment. As MT. Caldwell explained 1t last night, his assignment was the result of an unfortunate combination of circum- stances of some years standing, and 1t IS a purely personal matter with him.

~THE PLAY~

Now what can critic write when he has not recovered from the shock of contin- uous volley of fun, fired fast and hot for two hours? So fierce has been the attack that he is longing for some potent pain killing conooction to ease his aching sides That is ones condition after meeting Ward and Vokes in 1.-The Governors" for one en- gagement. "The Governors" in itself is just a modern Vesuvius from which there is an eruption without intermission, of sparkling fun and comic situation. Ward and Vokes bob up with their jokes, then comes Johnny Page who can get his body into any shape that man recovering from delirium tremens could conjure up. Then pretty Louise Montrose and dozen pretty girls, to set 1t all off and give it flavor.
 Ward and Vokes in 1.-The Governors" were seen here last season, and last night they attracted a good audience to O'Briens. They have improved the show and have brought it right up-to-date. Johnny Page continues to tumble himself into popular favor. Acrobatic comedians are generally dull, but there is something irresstibly funny about Johnny Page. Louise Montrose has taken the place of Lucy Daly. She is much prettier, and her beauty makes up for a noticeable lack of talent.
 Billy Taylor "a young actor who is we'll known in Birmingham appears in the quar- tette which is one of the best seep here this season.

the board expressed his satisfaction with the results obta ned and his desire to see the system permanently introduced into the schools Promises were made that a teacher should be appointed and salaried by the city as soon as the constitutional amend ment would put the city in condition finan- cially to do so. But although the amend ment was carried and ten other teachers were elected, all salaried out of the public treasury. the teacher of gymnastics is gen erousy permitted to teach without com pensaton to this very day, and no motion is made to vote even dollar for this most important branch of instruction. We are told that some of the members of the city council and the board of education have promised to provide the means to furnish the money for the payment of the teacher by January 1, the same to be obtained by private subscription.
 Only yesterday we learned that so far nothing at all has been done beyond making empty promises. How the teacher man. ages to subsist under these conditions is a mystery we cannot fathom
 But enough for this time. If the repre- sentatives of our cause, Messrs. Hentschell, Rainbow and B. Steiner, continue to allow themselves to be hoodwinked and are con tent with meaningless promises, we cannot help it, but the organ of our German-Amer- ican citizens will object most emphatieally.
 For the present we would warn our read- 
 of support in the next election but to pre- serve their freedom of action until the proper time arrives. There are unmistaka- ble indications that several thousand or our best citizens will request one of the most popular men in the city to accept the office of mayor, a man, the mere announce ment of whose name will have the effect of making the entire liberal element of thls town practically unanimous. As yet we have no right to announce his name. but will say that he is no candidate, he does not seek the office but the office will seek him. Every child knows him, every man respects him, every German loves him. That element of our citizens which con- bats the friends of ring rule' has on a former occasion, four years ago, united and carried the election of MT. VanHoose.
 This clement, strongly re-enforced by the independent and liberal vote of the city, will probably be compelled to wage simi- lar contest again. Therefore be careful how you make careless and ill-considered promises, thereby depriving yourself of the right to vote for your best interests when the proper time arrives.

What Happened to Jones'" the first and is now In its nineteenth week at the Strand theater in London, Is coming to OBrien's Opera house Monday night This extraordinary offering to local theater-goers is one of the most refined and at the same time uproariously funny plays ever pro- duced for the purpose of extracting genu- inc, healthy laughter Briefly, this rare story involves Ebenezer Goodly. a profess sor of anatomy, who has been to see a glove contest that has been raided by the police. Jones has also been there. Jones is a drummer who sells hymn-books and playing cards. one as steady thing, the other as a side issue. Jones has lost his coat-tais in a, scuffle with a policeman, by whom he is followed into the professors house. To bridge over this damning fact he dons the ministerial garments of the Bishop of Balarat, Goodly's brother, who is expected to pay visit to the Goodly household. Complications with girls, with an amorous spinster with the professors wife and with everything and everybody in sight-complications thick, furious and be- wldering
 The cast presenting this play is just as strong as money can buy, and includes George c. Boniface Gerald Griffin and host of others
 Griffin will be remembered here in the hit of "A Trip to Chinatown as the man In the restaurant scene who sat on not brick waited for the widow, tore up news- napers and made the audience fairly howl all the time he was in sight. He is not the only one with the show but the fact that he will appear as Ebenezer Goodly Is enough.

present city council. MT. Klein. A German gardener was appointed to serve the city for remuneration of $40 per month. No sooner was it known, however, that a Ger man had secured this fat ofiee the com mittee was besieged until they got rid of the "Dutchman" and another applicant, much less capable, but not German, was put in his place. Every one who is ac- quainted with MT. Klein knows that there is not a more honorable man in town than he. Every one knows that he is first-rate worker, who earns his pay wherever 1t is and who does not expect to fatten upon the public manager. What have our repre- sentatives, Messrs. Hentschell and Ram bow, done? Did they protest against this violation in the public session of the coun- ch? If so, where do we find the proofs? Or did they not consider the occasion im- portant eonugh to voice their protest? Are lAiey perhaps ashamed of their German de- scent? Are they disinclned to represent the interest of those who have made their erection possible? We have become ae- qualnted with other instances like the aboVe where the German element has re- ceiVed similar recognition at the hands of the council and we will from time to time remind our readers of them. For today the above must suffice.
