AN EXCITED GENERAL.
A Joke Which the Kaiser Enjoyed 10
the Utmost.

A Joke Which the Kaiser Enjoyed TO
the Utmost.
A very funny incident took place on
the occasion of the kaiser's recent visit
to Cassel. The general in command Of
the division. anxious to give a loyal
welcome to his majesty. had instructed
his officers and men that the moment
they saw him wave his saber or even
his hands above his head, they were
to start cheering while the massed
bands were to intone the national an
them. The general is very shortsighted.
Suddenly the gates Of the palace
opened, and an officer appeared on
horseback. The general. convinced
that it was his majesty, waved his hand
In the air. At once all the bands start
ed the national anthem, while the co.
900 or more troops present began to
cheer. Only when the amazed officer
got near the general did the latter real
lie that it was not the emperor, but
one Of his orderlies, who had come for
the purpose Of announcing that the
monarch would be upon the scene
about ten minutes later.
The commanding general at once set
to work to stop both the music and the
cheering. But the more he gesticuAted
with his hands and the more he shout
ed, the more convinced were his off,
GERS and men that he was encouraging
them to increased loyalty. The din was
perfectly appalling. and when ut length
the emperor arrived, he found the gen.
eral streaming with Precipitation, pur-
pie in the face and on the verge Of
apoplexy, while neither the soldiers nor
the musicians had breath left In their
bodies.
The kaiser, who has very keen
sense of the ridiculous, is said to have
shaken his sides with laughter.

roremnn Sanders, Errsr.

James Sanders, foreman Of the dry

Pridc's Fall.

"Winded. eh?'' sneered the automo-
bile as it bowlcd past the old gray
mare which had stopped to get her
breath.
But almost simultaneously with the
unkInd words one Of the pulled up
tires of the automobile was punctured
by discarded hatpin that lay in the
road.
Whereupon the old gray mare smiled
and spared enough breath to gasp
mockingly, "Winded, eh?"

even automobiles may live in glass

Confusion of Generations.

1t is not often that grandmother,
q mother and a daughter each bring
male child into the world on the same
day, but this has just happened at
Galicia, on the estate of Count Potoki.
The children are thus greatuncle, un-
Gle and nephew, and as they are all of
the same age there will be some con-
fusion in the generations Of the family.
The Emperor Francis Joseph when he
heard of the occurrence sent sum Of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE idea that

and uoIns 1T haphazard is In this dis
course combnted by DR.. Talmage. The
text is Psalms cxlx. 50, Forever, o
Lord. thy word is settled III heaven.
This world has been In process OF
change ever since 1t was created-
mountains born, mountains dying, and
they have both cradle and grave. once
this planet was all fluid, and no being
such rs you or have ever seen could
hive lived on 1t Il minute. Our hemi-
sphere turns its face to the sun anu
then turns It's back. The axis OF the
earth's revolution has shifted. The
eartli's center of gravity is changed.
Once flowers grew In the arctic, anu
there WAS SHOW in the trOpic. There
has been q redistribution Of land and
sen. the land crumbling into the sea,
the sea swallowing the land. Ice ana
fire have fought for the possession OF
this planet. The chemical composition
of II Is different now from what it once
was. Volcanoes once terribly alive are
dead, not one threb of fiery pulse not
one breath OF vapor-the ocean chang
ing its amount Of saline qualities. The
internal fires Of the earth are gradually
eating their way to the surfaces-up-

~THE PLAY0


 Amateur talent had a wide field in which to display itself at O'Brien's last night. and 1t did so
 The performance was strictly vaudeville and kept the packed house sconvulsed with laughter for two hours.
 A farce entitled Fun In a Doctors Shop" opened the entertainment and was greatly enjoyed. pr. Percy Nixon took the part of Dr. Snags; pr. D. o. Mitchell, the office boy; Charles Kendall, assistant office boy, and Lovlck Farley posed as corpse. The embalming of the corpse closed the act, and Miss Fallon followed with beauu- fully rendered solo.
 The next number on the programme was probably the best of the evening. Little Miss Lidia McElvain, a mere tot did an excellent dancing turn. Her effort was greeted with tremendous applause and she was forced to respond to an encore.
 The audience was then delightfully."- enter tained with solo by Mrs. Sinnige.
 MT. Kendall, in a burnt cork monologue was real funny. Some of the best contor- tionist work ever seen in Birmingham then followed.
 The grand cake walk closed the enser- tafnment, and was participated in by seV- eral couples. Two of the couples had to be recalled two or three times before decision could be reached It was finally agreed, however, that Miss Marselle Roth child and Sidney Lazarus had won.
 At the close of the performance every one complimented Miss Houston for her skillful management of the affair.

 Senator PettGs Speaks
 Senator D. W. Pettus addressed the joint session of the general assembly at 12:3O o'clock He appeared stronger than when he spoke in the theater last night. His voice was clearer, and his strong ap- peals for the rights of the people and hon. esty and purity in franchise in Alabama were equally as earnest It was along the same line of the speech at the theater. President Cunningham of the senate pre- sented Senator Pettus as a patriot sol- dier, statesmen and citizen who was an honor to Alabama, at the bar, on the bench, on the hustings or in the United States senate Senator Pettus expressed his profound thanks for the honor con ferred upon him. He could receive none greater. He had accepted the invitation with reluctance because he could not talk to the members about old times, the tariff question, expansion, etc. He could only speak on the subject of which h's heart was fullest-the vital question of today IS, shall we have constitutional convention or not have one. He claimed the greatest need of a convention to be the elimination of the corrupt and corruption vote. Every white man desires this
 The two houses had come up to their full duty in passing the bill providing for a vote on the question of holding a con- vention. He plead with them not to undo this work.
 Senator Pettus discussed at length the legal phase of the question, holding that the legislature had not the authority to repeal the bill.
 The speech was received with enthusiasm and members gathered around the senator to shake his hand and congratulate him.
