J. TOM HEFLlN
 PROBABLE WINNER In the Race for Congressional Nomination in Fifth. CONVENTION SEPTEMBER IA The Race Is Between Hefin and Brewe Much Interest Is Manifested
 in the Coming Con-
 test.
CONVENTION SEPTEMBER IA

One of the most interesting races for the democratic nomination for congress in Ala bama is in the Fifth district. The race is between Willis Brewer, present incumbent, and J. Thomas Heflin.
 MT. Brewer is serving his first term in the house, but reports from the Fifth are that MT. Hefin is leading in the race for nonli- nation. This district is credited with very seldom returning a man to congress, and it is evident that MT. Hefin desires its repu- tation to remain as at present.
 A prominent politician from the Fifth dis trict, in the city yesterday, stated that the race was exciting much interest. The nomi- hating convention is called to meet at Goodwater on the 14th of September, and the different county conventions for the selection of delegates to the district con- vention are to be held in the intervening time. It was the opinion of the gentleman here yesterday that Mir. Henin has decid- edly the better of the contest to date and that he would be an easy winner.
 Tom Hefin is one of the most brilliant young men in Alabama, and his rapid strides to the front are not surprising to HiS AAiOhuo' IllS IOCOTu as d party WOTker Is equalled by few. Two years ago he was nominated for the legislature by the Cham bers democracy and by a magnificent cam paign he was overwhelmingly elected over a populist majority of several hundred. This year his county was again placed in the "doubtfur column, and he was again se- lected to lead the battle How his task was done is best told in the democratic majority of over 2,O00 in the county. Old campaigners who assisted MT. Hefiin in his campaign say that 1t was one of the most eloquent and forceful ever waged in this state During the session of the last legislature he won the distinction of being the Bryan of Ala bama" in oratory, and this reputation he has fully sustained
 MT. Heflip is yet young man-not quite thirty years of age. but if he is elected to congress he will make a reputation sus- tained by few.

THE END.
MONACO AND MONTE CARLO.
How the Gaming Capital of the World
Began-WOrkings of the
Institution.

Monaco is the name of the kingdom
as well as of the capital and chief
town, and Monte Carlo is a separate
town, lying also on the coast of the
Mediterranean. The two places were
originally about a mile apart, but the
single street along the shore which
connects them has been so built up that
now they are practically one, and it is
hard to tell when you are in Monte
Carlo and when you cross the line into
Monaco. Monaco is the old town, with
dwellings and shops and castles and
dirt and a market place like any other
small European city, but Monte Carlo
is new, and lives entirely upon the
Casino. There are few dwelling houses
in it, few shops, few permanent resi-
dents beyond the hotel people and Ca
sino employees, and even the Casino men
live mostly in Monaco, where rents are
cheaper. Monte Carlo consists chiefly
CT the Casino and it's appurtenances, a
group Of hotels, u railway station and d
very handsome arched stone railway
bridge.
Here are the Maritime Alps, rising al
most out Of the back yards of both
places, the sea in front, no bits of ara bic
land bigger than flower beds, no man
ufactures, no chance for any industries
beyond fishing and retailing groceries,
if you take away the gaming tables.
1t was a strong temptation, no doubt,
to their little majesties of Monaco to go
III for anything that promised to bring
money into the country. And the win
ter climate was the best in Europe,
and therefore suitable for great win
ter resort. Let us give the devil his
due, and say that the prince was not
without reasons for making himself
the chief gambling pimp of the world.
The gambling industry was begun here
in 1856, but only in small way. Then,
four years later, a person named Blanc,
who had been expelled from Hamburg
came here and developed it. At pres
ent the gaming tables support every
thing. The Casino company pays the
prince $25O,OO0 a year, for the conces-
sion, though that is only a small part
of what they really pay, as shall show
in moment. This is a stock company
of the ordinary kind, like any mining
or insurance company, with shares
that can be bought in the market and
that pay such handsome dividends that
they command always high premium.
So, if you are a millionaire, as l hope
you are, and would like to be in a posi-
tn tot IN
need only come over to Monaco and buy
enough shares in this company. They
are 500 shares, and sell at present at
about $500, [ believe.-William Drys-
dale, in y. Y. Times.
