SIR HENRYIRVING

From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer
 It is quite evident that in the closing years of his life, Sir Henry Irving has achieved one of the crowning glor.es of his career. It is, indeed, an extraordinary achievement. year or more ago MT. Try ing left London virtually bankrupt. He took to the provinces to reeuperate his financial losses, only to part with his health. The situation was really distress ing for a man whose life had been a long succession of triumphs with three or four crushing failures at the close Irving prac- tically lost all of his possessions upon
 Peter the Great" It is only the indom- table will of the man that caused him to produce Sardou's new play Robes pierre" The success of "Robespierre" has been unquestioned. Irving is remarkaol artist and he seems to have lavished all of his genius upon the convention scene which closes the play. This is how Clement Scott. one of the ablest of dramatic critics, speaks of it:
 You will ask me to begin at the begin ming. cannot do so. I must begin at the end, for it is the very last scene of alI- the wild tumult of the convention, the huge amphitheater filled to its utmost with a roaring, seething. gesticulating crowd of men and women, half mad, half beasts; the feeble tinkling of the presidential bell the great coarse, clustering voices of orator after orator, yelling, shouting and scream ing to the scaffold the men who had ln- carnadined it with human blood; and as a contrast-for what is drama in the world without eontrast?-in the midst of the dirty unwashed, blasphemous crew, the pale, livid face of the dandy despet, the green monster, the man incorruptible. the man in the knee brooches, silk stockings and pale blue coat, with the ghastly terror of death upon his countenance, the murderer of Danton and thousands of his country men-Robespierre. have been play-goer for over fifty years, both as man and boy. I was at the Lyceum last night. My Ly- ceum record alone embraces the period from 1S4S, in the days of Mime. Vestric, down to 1899, the triumphant hour of Henry Irving, and say to myself never have I seen on any stage in the world anything to equal this pulsing, astonishing and wpn- derful last act of 'Robespierre, ,'-neysr, never" 4-.eA t

GOV. JOHNsToN's RECORD

From the Selma Record
 There are large majority of the demo- cratic newspapers of Alabama which just ly charge that Governor Johnston has, by his action, bolted the democratic party, but this is not his only offense. He has not only set himself in open defiance to the party which elected him; he has not only put the state to the expense of an unnecessary extra session of the legisla- ture under the ridiculous pretense that it is the extraordinary occasion provided Tor by the constitution. He has not only created unnecessary political turmoil and divisions in the state, but he is guilty of the still graver crime of attempting to take away from the people of Alabama their unquestioned right to settle a grave question of public policy for themselves at the ballot box.

MEANING PERVERTED
Telegram of Anti-Imperialistic League
 to the President

Boston, May 3.-The executive committee of the Anti-Imperialistic League state that their recent recommendation to the presi- dent was misprinted in manner which perverted the meaning. It is explained that the suggestion was not that the small islands should be kept, but that the Phil ippine government should be asked to cede us one small island as a coaling station.
 The dispatch read as follows:
 ''To the President: We urge you to offer the Philippine government withdrawal in years, giving 1t meanwhile moral support the Philippine government to reimburse our payment to Spain, the United States to keep small islands,"

Occult Information

From the Washington Star.
 The lady who tells fortunes and goes into frances had been visited by the idle young person with an inquiring mind.
 'I don't want to know anything about family affairs nor how to beat the stock market" he said cheerfully. q am a great reader of the news and as I hadn't seen anything about the Chinese emperor for a long time I thought I'd call around and sec how he's getting along. I've been waiting a good while for some news from Picking or Hong-Kong or whereabouts, and I thought you might help me out. Asia's a big dis tance away" he added doubtfully. Maybe you don't make such long jumps as Asia
 'Oh, yes," she answered and, passing her hand over her brow, she shut her eyes and proceeded. 'I see young man with slant ing eyes and a cue. Somthing tells me that it is the Chinese emperor. A man is run ming away from him so fast that papers are dropping out of his pockets and falling in all directions. The man who runs is a life insurance agent. A lady appears. She also has slanting eyes. It Is the empress dowa- ger. Sine catches the young man in the act of taking a drink out of large bottle. She notes that there are bottles of every size and shape scattered about the apartment. 'So.' she exclaims indignantly, this is the way you pass your time-drinking and ca- rousingr Empress dowager, he answers, syou do me wrong. It is true that 1 drink. But there is no carousal fluid ill any of those bottles.' 'Nonsensep she eXclaims why then have them about% Because he answered. T need them in my profession of emperor Those bottles are full of anti dotes.' The empress frowns and exclalms in a whisper: That explains it!' Then she turns and leaves the palace without another word"
 s"That's first rate" said the young man as he reached for his hat and arose to go
 She opened her eyes immediately and said: '.Onc dollar, please"

GENERAL BRYAN ILL
He Was a Member of the Famous Third
 Regiment

General Charles J. Bryan, of Tuskegee, Is at the Davis infirmary, where he is being treated. His condition has been such dur ing the past week or two that the physi- clans would permit none of his friends to visit him, but it is expected that he will be able to see them in a few days.
 General Bryan was a captain in the fam ous Third Alabama regiment, which achieved such record during the war. He was severely wounded at the battle of Mall vern Hill, so much so that he was united for further military duty. He served the state afterward, however, in the legislature and contributed most literally from his ann pie fortune to relieve the sufferings of his comrades, and for the poor generally.

Palmer in Macon would pay the draft. The cashier still refused to cash the draft until it was endorsed by local persons. A. ". Haskell and NJ. T. Stratford identified Mr. Palmer, but neither would endorse the draft. Palmer was here buying electrical supplies from Stradford, bl1q nevertheless he would not give his endorsement. Hence, it went unpaid
 Feeling dissatisfied about the matter, the Peoples Savings bank telephoned the Pos tai Telegraph company in regard to the message. It was found that no such mes- sage had come over their wires and that the number of the fake telegram was on a telegram sent to another person.
 MT. Palmer has not been seen since. The bank is Investigating the matter, but so far nothing new has developed. Palmer has been in Birmingham month and is apparently about 36 years old.

FURTHER PROGRESS
 IN STEEL COMBINE Another Meeting of Magnates in F New York. ON A S7OO,O0O,OOO BASIS Gates, of Steel and Wire Co.,, Said He Hadn't Joined Combine But There
 Was No Telling What
 Might Happen.
ON A S7OO,O0O,OOO BASIS

New York, May S.-The Times tomorrow will say:
 Further progress toward consolidation of the big steel interests of the country was made yesterday at a meeting held at the Holland house, in which Judge W. H. Moore. of Chicago; H. c. Brick, represent ing the Carnegie interests, and other prom inent steel men of the country took part Alter the meeting there was a rumor that an offer of s15O,OOO.OOO had been engaged in the Carnegie interests and that MT. Prick had taken it under consideration for con- sultation with MT. Carnegie.
 It was also said yesterday Wednesday, that offers had been made to the Federal Steel company, and the American Steel and Wire company to join the combine, but so far nothing definite had been decided upon. John W. Gates, president of the latter company, tonight left the Waidorf-Astoria where he had been staying since his sudden return from Europe Saturday last and was said to have gone to his home in Chicago. Before leaving MT. Gates said he had not yet become a member of the consolidation, but there was mo telling what might happen"
 The deal, it is variously reported, would probably be conceded only on a basis from S525, 900 900 to s7OO,OOO,O00.

GOV. JOHNsTON,s MESSAGE
From the Nashville Banner.

From the Nashville Banner.
 Governor Johnston's message to the ex- .tra. session of the Alabama legislature, which appears in the Banners telegrapnic news today, is a rather peculiar state pa- per. It displays irritation and heat of temper, and makes adroit appeals to the prejudices of the legislators, but to calm outside view the arguments it presents against the propriety of the holding of a constitutional convention are neither clear nor cogent.
 The governor seems to be attempting, more than anything else, to thwart the action taken by the recent democratic convention in Alabama that indorsed the convention project, and he wars directly with the state democratic executive com mittee. That is a very remarkable posi- tion to be taken by a politician of Gov ernor Johnston's known record; he has always been a thick-andthin partisan.
 He urges that the action taken by the democratic convention will prevent a free expression of popular opinion on the ques- ton of calling the convention. The vote of the majority of white democrats is thereby shackled, he says. But it is not apparent why this should be so, since he, de:lo- cratic governor with the consent of a maA jority of the members of democratic legislature, has called an extra legislative session for the express purpose of repeal ing the act that submitted the conven- ton proposition to the people. The dem ocratic voters should not be any more bound than the governor and legislators.
 Governor Johnston puts himself in the position of attempting to save tine people from themselves, CT from the decrees of a democratic convention. by removing from them an opportunity to vote on the pend- ing proposition.

SWEAT SHOPS OF CHICAGO
Story Graphically Told By Florence Kelly Before Industrial Commission

olO4y VI 4OtA AJ AoA CiSO
 Kelly Before Industrial Commission
 Washington, May 3-The industrial com mission resumed its publ hearings in it's headquarters at the Bliss building today. The first witness was Florence Kelly, for four years chief factory inspector of Illi- no.s. Her statement dealt particularly with sweat shops in Chicago. She painted the picture in dark colors. Of the two hun dred thousand factory workers in the State of Illinois she said 150,0OO were in Cook county.
 Practically all the ready-made clothing and much of the so-called arch tailor work was made in the sweat shops. Child la Dor, she said, was also used in direct de- fiance of the 14-year limit in force in the state. Many of these little ones, she de- clared, worked for the first year for noth- ing with the promise of a dollar a week at the end of that time and ultimately, per haps,-$2- to $6 a week, when they reached the top of the ladder in their line.

Excited Discussion

Alderman Wheeler moved to lay the mat ter over until the next meeting. Alderman Hentschell wanted a vote at once, stating that the saloon men and preachers had petitioned for such ordinance, and in view of the fact that 1t was the first time in the history of the city that they had come together he thought the ordinance should be adopted.
 Alderman Wheeler moved to lay the sub- stitute on the table, which carried.
 Alderman Kerr moved as substitute to defer consideration until after the new board was sworn in. This was also lost.
 Aldermen Harrington, Pearce and others spoke in favor of deferring consideration in deference to the views of the new mayor.
 MT. Drennen settled the question by stat ing that he would prefer immediate ac- ton, and the ordinance was adopted.
