"Out of Nazareth" by Charles R. Hardy
F. Tennyson Nicely, New York For
sale by the St Paul Book and Station
cry company.
Here Is another of those Southern
stories breathing the romance and
tragedy which seem to envelop the South.
1t has local color, too. and that in an al
most untrod field. The Suggs family are
perfect types of the angular, sallow-
skinned, snuff-dipping cracker" indigen-
ous to the piney-woods region OF South
western Georgia.
Sordid, lacking ambition, coarse, the
marvel is that a child of theirs should
be as pure. as beautiful as the author
pictures the young woman, Melinda
Suggs.
1t is truly the old question, answered
in the affirmative, as to good coming out
of Nazareth.
There Is a love story, too, running
through the narrative, and which makes
one think of the style of James Lane
Allen. The story ends in a tragedy, which
is, perhaps, as satisfying an ending as
could be devised under the conditions
thrown about the lives of the principal
actors in the story.

ssSea Drift

Sea Drift" by Grace Ellery Charming.
Small, Maynard & Co., Boston For
sale by the St. Paul Book and Station
cry company.
There is a sweetness about these poems.
a sweetness which Is not cloying, but sat
isfying. The singer has a voice which
will find an echo in the heart of humanity,
especially that portion Of humanity
which has not yet gotten away from it's
dreams and ideals. A majority of the
poems are love-songs, but there are other
subjects. This short poem entitled WAR"
will be found particularly appropriate to
the present time:
The great republic goes to war
But Spring still comes as Spring has
done,
And all the summer months will run
Their summer sequence as before;
And every bird will build its nest
The sun sink daily in the west,
And rising eastward bring new day
In the old way.
But ah, those dawns will have a light
These western skies burn golden bright
With what q note the birds will sing
And winters self betuned to Spring.
Than any springtime sweeter far
When once again, calm entering
The great Republic comes from warI

the New York Journal.

The Alabama Press Association.

The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the
Alabama Press association is to be held in
this city ON June A. The association con-
sists of editors and publishers of daily and
weekly newspapers within the state, and its
membership roll carries fully one hundred
and fifty names. Every state paper of
standing will be represented at the coming
meeting.
When the business of the annual meeting
is completed, the members of the associa-
tion will start on an outing of which
Niagara Falls is the target. After visiting
the great waterfall, and listening to its.
ccaseless time-honored diapason, as it were,

routes, and The Age-Herad is sure they
will be very glad when they set foot on
Alabama soil again.

A Compliment That is Appreciated.

In the course of active daily work the
Age-Herald has been the recipient of its
share of kind words, but it has never re-
ceived finer compliment than the teach
els Of Tallapoosa county, at an institute
recently held In Alexander City, conferred
upon il in this resolution:
"Resolved That we express our highest
appreciation and sincere thanks to the Age
Herald for the bold stand 1t has taken and
the victory it has helped to win for the
great cause of education: and we feel that
we can pay 1t no higher compliment than
to say that we regard il as the friend of
the boys and girls of Alabama"
The paper that has as its friends the
girls and boys of Alabama certainly has a
grip upon the future; and the Age-Herald
will strive to hold the friendship OF those
boys and girls. and to gain more of the
same sort as the years roll on.

have the democratic papers of the state
stood together over a difficult problem as
they stand today in favor of calling con-
stitutional convention. and in support OF
the state convention of the party and of It's
executive committee. This is broad as
sertion. but the evidence is in black and
white. and can be seen of all men. Tn-
democratic press of the state Is practically
an unit and The Age-Herald does not mean
to be disrespeetful to the inspired Mont
gomery Journal.
And if the whole truth could be elected
from Private Secretary Cory, it would
doubtless make plain the fact that the DEM
oeratic newspapers of the state are thor
oughly representative-tha they represent,
not only public sentiment within the demo-
cratic party, but that they also present the
views of their respective representatives in
the legislature If the answers from about
thirty populist and republican members
were weeded out, Private Secretary Cory's
balloon would sag and flop in every breeze.
+ That balloon is filed with populite and re-
publican gas. and there are very few DEM
ocrats within it, and there will be still
fewer when in Montgomery all see the
situation as it really exists-when they see
the sly populists and jubant republicans
lined up without break against the party
that is bravely endeavoring in a favorable
period to settle the toughest and knottiest
problem that ever came before American
statesmen-a problem fraught with the well
fare and decency of the state-a problem
that must be solved if the moral condition
of the state is to be bettered, and its ma
terial progress is to go on unchecked. The
brave old party is facing the grave issue as
solidly as the populists and republicans
evade it, and any greater degree of solidity
Is impossible.

Generals Sherman and Sheridan each had
a tale to tell of this kind. General Scho-

Hancock yielded, and probably regretted 1t
all the rest of his life. Even In the case
of General Grant, although he rendered
some great service as president, the as
sumption by him when past middle life of
arduous duties for which he had no train
ing brought him large measure OF un-
happiness.
The case of General Grant, however WAS
exceptional. The party which was trying
to garner the fruits OF the war stood IN
need of unification. President Johnson
course had seriously torn and distracted it,
and defeat was imminent unless the fac
lions could be brought together. General
Grant was the man above all others Tor
that emergency. The honor was tempting,
and besides, as he had done SO much 10

this transfer to civil life would give him

Even Tammany leaders are reported TO

In DEMAND
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
General Joseph Wheeler seems to be in
demand in peace as well as war. Hon. Will
liam L. Wilson, president of Washington
and Lee university, has just secured the
services of the hero of Santiago as the ora
tor before the literary societies of Washing
ton and Lee in the commencement in June.
Though very busy man, an address appro-
pirate to the occasion may be expected.
General Wheeler is also to be the orator
at the reunion of the Confederate Veterans
at Charleston, S. c., next month. This will
doubtless have the effect of increasing in
tercst in the meeting, as General Wheeler is
one of the most popular of. the surviving
heroes of the civil war. RH will be given
a fiattering reception.

The Parties of the State Face to Face.

The democratic papers of the state urge
their readers to stand solidly by the demo-
cratic. party, and by the convention bill it
has endorsed. Even the Demopolis Express
that had been charged with an intention to
flock with the Montgomery Journal, denies
the charge, and accepts the action of the
democratic party as binding and final. The

, Because the world has been oyerrun and
peopled in this conquering and grossly
material century, it does not follow that
there is nothing of great Importance left
to. be done in the twentieth century. A
reaction against materialism Is a great
work In itself, and an ethical development
Is needed as perhaps 1t was never more

Materiallsm is TO be put down, and ethics
uplifted, until one becomes subordinate and
the other dominant.
This means that all International troubles

as it really is-will re sneered at as frag-
ment inherited from the dark and ruthless
nineteenth century. The czar's conference
next month is a forerunner of the bright
and glorious twentieth century.
Then, too, the folly of thousand war

fest, and there will be but one Christian
church, as there is but one Mos.em church,
and one church devoted to the worship of
Buddha. II church machinery and personal
ambition stand in the way, men will come

And there will come also a better dlstri-

centuries that will have gone before.
However this may be, the bright-eyed
little folks Of today who are to be the

few of whom may live to see its glorious

Fill the Auditorium.

The May Festival, under the auspices of
ton, will be easily the greatest musical
event of the year in this. state; for that
matter, the greatest musical event in the
entire south. 1t will be a notable social
event, too.
In some cities enterprises of this charac-
ter. primarily artistic, are generally attend
ed by considerable financial risk. The cost
of first-class festival is necessarily large,
and subscribers to the guarantee fund are
often assessed for a high percentage OF
The amounts set opposite their respective

If the capacious auditorium, where the
festival is to take place, were only half
filled at each of the three concerts, all ex-
penses would be cleared, and audiences av-
eragng two thousand or twenty-five hum
dred people would certainly be expected.
But the auditorium will seat between
forty-five hundred and five thousand, and
it should not be too much to ask that
every chair be occupied at the two night
performances. 1t will be so if all the people
who can afford the price of admission will
take an interest in the festival and attend.
The business management of the festival
adopted liberal policy in fixing the price
of tickets. This makes it easy for every
body. And the citizens of Birmingham
should show their appreciation of the eff
forts of the association and the musical
forces taking part in the festival by turn
ing out en- masse, as it were. Full houses
will mean a handsome cash balance for the
