SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
The Aue-HeraId's Extra.

The AgeHerald performed feat yes- terday unequalled in the history of south- ern journalism. It published at o'clock in the afternoon an extra issue, containing Senator Morgan's great letters, in which he declares emphatically that the gover- nor of Alabama had no right to call an ex- tra session to repeal the constitutional convention bill. The Age-Herald had Sen ator Morgans letters exclusively. It print ed them quickly, and in order that the leg isIators congregating in Montgomery yes- terday and the nominees of the constitu- tional convention might have the full text of Senator Morgan's decision, sent 5000 copies of it's extra edition to Montgomery on a special train. This special over the Louisville and Nashville left the union de- pot at 1:1O o'clock in the afternoon and ar rived in Montgomery at BOG. making the run of ninety-six miles in 116 minutes, per- haps the fastest run ever made between Birmingham and Montgomery.
 This special Age-Herald train carried fourteen of The Age-Herald newsboys, who, upon their arrival in Montgomery, captured the town and carried the greatest political news of the season to the assem- bled legislators and politicians.
 Though the expense to The Age-Herald- was great,it believes in being first in every thing, especially in giving the people of all sections of Alabama. the first and freshest news from all~sources.
 In getting this extra out yesterday The Age7aerald performed the quickest piece of work ever done in the south. From the time the first take of copy reached the printers to the moment The Age-Herald special train pulled out of the depot was few minutes less than two hours, and in less than four hours from the time The Age-Herald force began the complete newspaper was on sale in Montgomery, 100 miles distant from the office of the publi- cation.

political history of the county and state. us existence seems to have been confined to the columns of the inspired Journal, for no name is connected with it, no clue furnished that would lead to proof of it's actuality. And like objection lies against the report of the meeting in beat 12. Not a name is printed in connection with it, although it represented great mining and rich agricultural districts.
 The Age-I1erald is compelled to place the Pratt City and beat 12 meetings in the mysterious class that includes the uprising of the enthralled and downtrodden busi- ness men of Birmingham-that is class in dream land. A Bessemer meeting was undoubtedly held, because the bidding for police-board appointments seemed to de- mand it, but it was not wild or enthu- siastic meeting. It was merely man. euvre for commissionerships in Bessemer's new police board, which is to be organized under a new statute very soon.

BON VOYAGE TO CROKER

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Richard Croker sailed today to race horses in England and to try to bring back some of the queens money from the Eng fish tracks. He remembers well his last trip, when he returned home ''dead broke," and will attempt to prevent a repetition of the experience; but he has the satisfaction of knowing that when he returns there are many sources of revenue open to him that were not on his last trip abroad. His de- parture was the occasion of a demonstra- ton by many of his political retainers and two other distinguished passengers, Thos. Bracket Reed and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, were completely overlooked by the crowd. There was great anxiety among the faithful anG a crush ter the proud and enviable privilege of carry ing the chiefs umbrellas and spring over coat up the gang plang, as the last two persons who performed that function now

How Jefferson Is Falling Into Line.

The inspired Montgomery Journal is in- dulging in dreams of an uprising Of Bir- mingham's business men and capitalists, and mine and furnace operators, and trans portation chiefs, but for some reason it is never able to pull the uprising off-some- thing that always is to, but never does occur.
 But in the meanwhile the more than op- timistic Journal industriously reports meet ings in beat 12, in Pratt City and in Besse- mer. Glorious mass meetings have ap- parently been held in the three places, and yet a searchlight would not have disclosed any one of the three meetings at the times named. The meeting in beat 12 is repre- sented to have been an outpouring of the hardy yeomanry of the famous Cahaba valley, and the democrats of Pratt City resoluted when fin mass meeting assem- b.ed," but the democrats of Bessemer, hay ing a police-board fight on their hands, quietly assembled, and unanimously adopt ed resolutions in favor of Governor John- stons recent actions. It was not difficult to secure at the Bessemer meeting unani- nous action; for, says the Bessemer Weekly, the citizens were so few in num- Der that they had to get together very carefully and quietly lest some little jar would knock them all to pieces. The al- legged Pratt City meeting will have to prove its existence in even a careful and quiet manner before it can become a part Of the

SUNDAYS ISSUE

From the Birmingham News.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald yesterday issued a thirty-six-page edition, which was an excellent paper. Particular attention was given to the May festival, carnival and other features of this week and next in Birmingham. In business the paper made an especially good showing, and typo graphically it was neat and attractive. The edition reflects much credit upon Editor Barrett in both the business and editorial departments.

Dear Aunt Mary. She was ours by no
tie of blood, but we loved her and find
comfort in remembering that she knew
we loved her. She was possessed of a
pure and lovely mind. unselfish and a
trusting Christian. Her seventy-six years
of life were uneventful. but each day was
filled with loving thoughts and deeds for
those around her.
For long time her sufferings have been
great, though patiently borne and though
in her last days her mind became so UNI
settled that she could not look to earthly
friends for sympathy, her faith in God re-
manned and at times her prayers for re-
lease were heart-rendng. Though we
miss her we thank Him that the answ
came and she is a rest, where we hope
and trust that she truly found loved ones
waiting for her at the Beautiful Gate"
