GEN. NHEELEIs a PRAYlNG MAN

W. f. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
General Wheeler is a religious man. He
was brought up in the Episcopal church'
with a great reverence for sacred things
and faith in the efficiency of prayer One
of his former secretaries tells the story
that while the general was engaged IN
a canvass for congress some years ago
he spent the night at the plantation of a
constituent His host accompanied him
to his room at bed time, and babe him
good night, but being reminded that the
general might want a glass of cool water
before retiring, he carried a pitcher TO the
room and entered without knocking. He
was surprised to find General Wheeler up
on his knees before the bed engaged in his
deyotions. He waited reverently until the
general arose, and apoligized for the in
corruption.
Don't mention it," said General Wheeler.
"I think all of US ought to kneel before we
retire and thank our good Maker for His
mercies and blessings"
Tho members of General Wheeer'S STAFF
say that during the Santiago campaign he
never lay down to sleep without offering
a prayer, and never arose in the morning
without thanking God for His protection
and preservation.
1t is not generally known that General
Wheeler was educated in the north. and
appointed to West Point from the state of
New York instead of Alabama His pa
rents died when he was a child of five
years, and he was sent to the care of rela-
tives at Chester, Conn, where he spent his
boyhood His appointment to West Point
was given him by a congressman of his
own name, John Wheeler, formerly of OAR
by, Conn, who, however, represented q
New York district.

FAITH CuRE-ANp A POUETICE

From the New York Herald.
1t seldom occurs in this enlightened age
that there is not a man of the moment, of
the occasion, who says the right thing at
the right time and clears away mass of
blunder and misconception.
The opportunity produced the right man
once more at the graduation exercises Of
the Bellevue Hospital Medical college. He
was the Rev. David J. Burrell who ad-
dressed the graduating class. He opened
the young doctors ears by declaring: 81
believe in the faith chre,' and then told
why:
'Hezekiah, the king, was going to die
and the Prophet came in and prayed. The
Prophet prayed and put on fig poultice
That is the point of the cure-after you
get through praying put on poultice.
That Is the reason I believe in faith cure.
That is the position of the community
and the health authorities in nutshell.
Nobody objects to the prayers and spir-
itual administrations of the faith-curists.
Per Sc they can do no harm, but they can
not be permitted to the exclusion of the
regular practitioner
1t is the poultice that the law insists
upon, and it is the poutice that will cure
while many precious appeals are made for
divine interposition.

From tho Birmingham News
Hon. John w Tomlinson delivered the
address to the literary societies yesterday.
There was a large audience of ladies and
gentlemen. Mr.. Tomlinson touched upon
the future of the institution, which he be-
lieved destined to be a great and glorious
one and complmented the management for
the remarkable progress made in spite of
so many difficulties. He then brought the
attention of the young minds before him to
the weightier problem of the present hour
in rational affairs and exhorted them TO
make study Of these far-reaching mat
ters in ORDER to be able to do their best
as good citizens Of the country in their
settlement. The address was an excellent
one and was splendidly received.

A WORD

Julien Gordon, in Golfers Weekly. : -
A little word no one could guess, FI
Half a command, half a caress,
Spoken between a smile and sigh;
None else could solve the reason why.
On many a summers afternoon,
Where garden insects hum and swoon;
On many a morning bright with May,
When sunlight leaned across the Bay.
Under the trees, where oft we sat,
Atbwsrt The plav of merriest chat,
'Twould suddenly be thrown at will,
Lost in the redbrd's g5rgling trill
Or when the world had crowned my hair,
And you wore black and boutonniere
Twas WHISPERED softly, swift and delft,
Across .ha damasks glittering weft.
When ! have gone beyond the sea.
Should through your heart thought of me
Some uniryiced dream have stirred,
You will recall the little word
That once was met by frown or glee,
impatient jest or repartee.
But. dearest, in the coming years
think It's echo will bey-tears, ~ HRS

Mr.. Bryan is AIabama's Choice.

Mr.. StalIings thinks that he can bring
about the nomination of James d. Richard
son for president upon a platform that
knows not Chicago; for he says, 1.-THE re-
publican party has made the issues upon
which the democracy can win" This means
something very different from the chicago
platform. And the Union Springs Herald
which, like Mr. Stallings, stood for repeal
of the convention bill, declares that mo
greater damage could be done the ma
tional democratic party than the nominal
ton of Mr.. Bryan in 1906" The Herald,
like Mr.. Stallings,5 wants new platform
and "a full-blooded democrat" Mr. Stall
lings and the Herald stand together in the
matter of platform, but Mr.. Stallngs de-
sires the nomination of James d. Richard
son while the Herald declines to name its
full-blooded democrat. Its choice may be
Mr.. Richardson or it may not. Full
blooded" is rather indefinite when applied
to democrats, there being many Of that
sort.
of the repeadsts is the newest movement
in state politics, and it is one that is more
honored in the breach than in the observ-
ance. Mr.. Bryan is unmistakeable the
choice of nineteen out of twenty democrats
in every state, and if the two-thirds rule
should be worked to his defeat lukewarm-
ness would Green into the Marty that would
destroy all hope of victory. The democrat
ic nominee of 1900 should be, and assuredly
will be, William j. Bryan. mo man., says
the Mobile News, "can supplant him in
the affections and confidence of the people
of Alabama" The people of this state are
not hunting for any other name. They
are content with tho man they know and
admire and respect, and the men who get
in the way of the Bryan tr.umphal march
will be swept aside like chaff in a gale

BROAD AND sTArEsMANLIKE
rom the Birmingham Ledger.

From the Birmingham Ledger
Hon. John w. Tornlinson delivered the
annual address at the North Alabama Con-
ference college at Owenton yesterday. He
TOOK broad and statesmanlike view of the
present and future, and gave the students
an opportunity to hear broad national poll
tues from one who had but few days be-
lore sat among the leading men of one of
the great parties. Mr. Tomlinson gave his
IDEAS Of broad national politics and i'm
pressed his hearers that he wants and ex-
poets to see more elevated plano of po-
Hlleal standards and political morals.
Mr. Glenn of the college faculty public
~ thanked Mr.. Tomlinson for the strength
of the address.

Doesn't get any more sympathy for being

A PiQ Iron Famine.

The supply of pig iron is becoming very
short-so short that a week may exhaust
it altogether The reserve on April /. 1897
was 1.092,1 13 tons. One year later it was
SH,91 tons, and on April l of the present
year it had fallen to So2,62S tons. As con-
fully IS per cent. and now stands at about
10000 tons day, it is plain the present
surplus supply is very meager. Consump-
ton goes on, While production cannot be
quickly enlarged. Old furnaces, long out
of blast, can not be repaired, rejuvenated
and blown in without consuming consider
able time. New erections would be still
lower.
Instead of eighteen furnaces in blast
which was the rule in Alabama last year,
fully twenty-five coke stacks will be in
operation by July -four at Bessemer,
four at Ensley, two at Thomas, two at OK
mour, seven in Birmingham, including the
Vanderbilt furnace, one at Alfalfa and
three at Sheffield, with possibilities at
&c. 4'ASiiNS' 0SS"euA anu AIuSS-
Vile. If the production of the year in the
United States be carried to 100000 tons,
the Alabama furnaces should turn out
100000 tons, or 10 per cent. of the aggre-
gate amount This has long been Ala
bama's percentage To produce 1900, 900
tons fully twenty-five furnaces must be
put in blast and Alabama's product in
creased about so per cent.

TRUSTS AND MONEY ISSUES TOGETHER

TUiI ING NEW iofk world.
Fort Wayne, Ind, May 2S.-I have no
doubt that the Chicago platform will be
reaffirmed and new planks added to cover
new issues. The trust question will &C.
cupy prominent place in the next plat
form, but the money question and the trust
question are really parts of the same
question. The same financial interest that
supported the gold standard will support
the trusts. W. J. BRYAN.

Richardson, of Tennessee, as the ideal
presidential candidate for 1860. 1t would
