Struck BY Si9htnln9

Yesterday morning during the cleo
trio storm the lightning struck the
barn of Alex Baird living on Center
street and killed two of his horses.
The barn seemed to be struck twice.
There is hole in the roof on each
side and the boards are slivered down
toward the ground under each hole in
the roof. One bolt passed down in
front of the two horses that were kill
ed.
They were standing in adouble stall
with their heads next to the side where
the lightning passed. There were
two other horses and COW in the
barn at the time but they were un-
hurt. Aside from the loss of the hor-
ses the damage is inconsid cradle.
There were several very vivid flash
es of lightning and the usual accom-
paning terrific thunder. The rain fell
in torrents for short time and con-
tinued at more moderate rate till
near morning. The storm began about
one O'Clock in the morning. The rain
was very acceptable as the heavy winds
for the last few days have dried off
the top of the ground very effectually.
There can be no excuse now for the
corn not growing at wonderful rate.
1t will also freshen up the strawberry
patches and make an additional yield.
Alex will get enough extra berries to
pay for his team.

Our populist friends, who, few
years ago claimed we should have en-
ough money to do the business of the
world on cash basis have recently
had an object lesson on the foolishness
of that claim. Our government paid
the $2O,OOO,OO0 to Spain without dol
lar being handled; simply little en-
try IN the books of two or three banks,
So much for restored confidence.

1t sounds little tough to read Ag-
uinaldo's address to the Filippinos
and find him praising the democratic
party of the United States and thank
ing then for their sympathy and as
sistance. Aggie is little wrong in
this; lie has many admirers in the de-
mucratic party who extend to him
their sympathy and alteration on eve
ry occasion. and likewise a few repub-
licans who are just as copper heady as
the democrats. The traitorOus utter
ances of these men have encouraged
Aguinaldo and his followers and pro
longed the war and cost us the life Of
many brave men.

President Mckinley has taken sew
eral thousand offices from under the
civil service rule. They were such as
private secretaries, clerks, etc. Now,
we suppose, the Democrats will think
they have something to make big
kick about. President Cleveland eX-
tended this civil service business very
materially, but was careful to have
the offices filled by good Democrats
before he made the rule apply.

1t does seem little strange that
the Democrats are so hard pushed for
an issue in the coming campaign that
the solons OF the party must be called
together to devise one. Take heart,

it-in the neck. The operators used them to foster their interests only without re- gard to the sacrifice of life, and when they had slaughtered women and children, to say the least of mems lives, they admitted their inability to protect them, leaving the negro to the merciless foe. Besides this, they contracted with the U. M. w. and ad- vised the negroes then to leave who were aided by public charities only. MT. Robert Pringlton and others say the negroes were treated in a most shameful manner by the operators, and that they were crowded to- gether in the streets and other places with our any provision whatever, and that Gov ernor Tanner gave his check for $1,S00 to aid In getting them away, who said he saw DO way to protect them, and his son Gov ernor Tanner's) got rate of $5 per head from the railroads to Birmingha, "a, Ala, for their return, while the companies said they had no further use for the negroes and could not render them any aid. The operators opposed any and all organiza- tions among the negroes and paid others to keep them apart, and We learn that our Kansas brother operators are playing the negro in the same way. I have been asked daily to give advice or say something on this subject, and have listened to the argu- ment on both sides, and my conviction is from facts. I say firmly that the negro should stop and think and not listen to fairy tales. Women, the wives of many who accompanied their husbands to Ii- nos, are active in trying to persuade their husbands not to drag them into similar danger as that in Illinois, and are appeal ing to others to help influence their hus- bands from going. and say they had to dodge shot and shell just as men. There ought to be some legislation to prevent this modern method of negro trading.
 Alabama coal fields are enjoying the leading wave of prosperity in the commer- cial world, and both labor and capital are sharing unequalled prosperity, and there are no reasons whatever to go anywhere looking for better times. The recent con- tract, especially. says the negro miner must not be discriminated against, which gives us the benefit of special legislation along that such as are not given no where else Men who speculate al the expense of oth- CTS lives should be given a taste of the same experience of those who sacrificed their lives. This is a serious matter and received some attention.

 c. c. Washburn is making arrangements to give song recital some night this week al Blount Springs MT Mabson. proprietor of the hotel at that place, writes that the visitors at the springs are very anxious for attractions of this kind, and that the re- cital would be a success. MT. WashburI, will probably give similar recitals at othos summer resorts in this and neighbori:sg states during the summer.
 Next Sunday night Miss Mccoy, the or ganist of the First Methodist church, has arranged to have song service at the church, in which nearly all of the promi- nent musicians of this city will take part One of the features of the evening will be the cornet solo by Claude Seals. MT Seals has not been playing for some time past, but is now in fine shape again, it is said.
 
 Leuman Eandley is arranging to go to New York this fall to continue his vocal studies in that city. It is probable that he will have a position in one of the New York choirs this winter, which is of great advantage to a vocalist in New York city. There is already a great deal of talk about giving MT. Handley a big benefit perform ance before he goes. There are very few singers who have been more accommodat- ing with their voice than "Leuman," and his friends think that a recital for his ben eft would prove very popular.
 There was some talk before Prof. B. Guckenberber left the city to spend his summer vacation that he would, some time next winter, put an opera with local singers. "The Flying Dutchman,' by Wagner, is said to be the opera which MT. Guckenberger favors.
 A distinct novelty in Birmingham will be the sacred concert to be presented by pro- fessionals at East Lake tonight The Schubert Glee club, lyceum attraction, which made such good impression in Br- mingham last winter, will give the concert, and Walter Lindsay, who is managing the affair, is expecting that this feature be very attractive.
 The personnel of this organization con- sists of: Harvey L. Bassett, first tenor: Frank T. Johnson, second tenor; Lucius M- Hiatt, baritone and cornetist; Joseph w. Lucas, baso and violinist c. Edmund Neil, reader; Katherine Taylor, soprano and pianist.

The grounds were exquisitely decorated with numberless Japanese lanterns and myriads of electric lights, alternating in red white and blue. They were strung everywhere, from pillar to post, and the reflection could be seen from all parts of the city.
 Long rows of benches were stretched un- der the electric lights, and here the young ladies served ice cream to the visitors. There were also other refreshments and delicacies that tempted the appetites of the large number who made up the throng. The decorations were elab- crate, and were shown off to great advan- tage by the electrical display. An orches- tra furnished music during the entire even

 People commenced to gather on the lawn soon after supper, and they were furnished with all sorts of amusements in the way ot lawn games, such croquet, ring toss, etc. here was also an exhibition of the X-ray machine, and there was chance to peep through the telescope. Then the spectators were entertained by several standing panto- mines.

 The committee who has had the matter In charge have labored for it's success for many weeks, and after hunting all over the city for place to hold their party, decided that there was no place so suitable as the large grounds surrounding Mrs. Pinkhams home. When Mrs. Pinkham was asked by the ladies if she would give the use of her lawn for the purpose, she readily consented. She can always be counted upon to help along any good cause in which women are interested.
