II REEDLEss congress will be
something Of a curiosity. 1t
\ will take the country a few
weeks to get accustomed to it. Reeds
rules will be there, but without Reed
the ruler to enforce them they will be
somewhat suggestive of a dehamlet-
lied Hamlet. Speaker Henderson
doubtless knows them all by heart, but
whether he can apply them with the
energy and emphasis of their original
author, whether he can excite the DEM
ocratic minority to the bowling point.
whether he can infuse into the opoo-
sition a spirit that hurls inkstands
kicks doors la Kilgore and raises the
roof and the devl-whether Hender-
son can accomplish these achievements
remains to be seen. He succeeds the
most brilliant and daring circus per
former that ever made the spectators
hold their breath. He goes into the box
before a critical and exacting grand
stand. prejudiced in favor of the ex-
pitcher, prone to institute unfavora BILE
comparisons. All Henderson's curves
will be watched. studied, analysed. He
will be weighed in the balance and,
as contrasted with his predecessor,
found wanting twenty times day.
1t is hard thing to succeed a big
man in any office. For while every
rnove the successor makes is pretty
sure to provoke the disparagement of
everybody from proprietor to Office
boy. His best endeavors are liable to
arouse the jocularities and sarcasms of
The bookkeeper and the sneers and
lampoons of the typewriter. AS time
passes he is judged more according to
his merits. and in the end he is sized
up with reasonable accuracy; although
Il he fall below the standard of his
predecessor all hands unite in emDha-
sizing and sharpening the contrast
The country will await the first set
TO between Henderson and Richard
son with deep and deepening interest
The democratic minority is a big,
healthy one. full of life and yigor and
anxious to rise up on it's hind feet and
paw something. Henderson can afford
never to take his eye off the gun, for
it is cooked and prined and the man
behind it is constantly ready to give
him a. shot Richardson is Tennes-
ocean, a confederate veteran, a lawyer,
a scholar a democrat and a gentleman.

harmony. Strife and contention have
crowded peace and amity to the gar
den wall and over it. The bloody shirt
is waved and the horrors of civil war
are on. The doughty manager has
smitten the mighty fighter upon the

blood, although each accuses the other

The crusade against the admiral on ac-
count of the transfer of his house. was
engineered from the office Of the WASH

~ ENERAL JOHN NJ. PALMER of
" Illinois, who was the gold stand
ard candidate for president in
1896, has recently been in San Fran
cisco. He may not be there yet, but he
certainly was a few days ago.
The san Francisco Bulletin quotes
him as follows: THE leading issues
for 1909 will be anti-expansion, anti
militiarisrl. anti-trusts. At least these
will be the democratic slogans The
nomination of Mr.. Bryan is, in my
opinion, a foresone conclusion. He will
be nominated, and l predict that he will
be elected president in spite of his rad.-
cal views on silver" This is probably
the most significant utterance that has
been given by any former opponent of
Mr. Bryan. AS the Bulletin remarks,
it indicates the reuniting of the demo-
cratic forces under the leadership of
Bryan.
1t will be observed that General Pal
mer does not intimate that Bryan has
weakened on the silver ISSUE but he
declares broadly that the Nebraskan
will be elected "in spite of his radical
views on silver" This shows conclu-
slvely that very considerable element
favorable to the gold standard, will ac-
cept free silver rather than a great
standing army and an English colonial
system

Two men employed by the Pioneer Min

~THE PLAYS

Theater-goers are all agog over the ap-
pearance here in this city of that repre-
sentative actress, Eugene Blair, in the
most recent of New York successes. "A
Lady of Quality" by Americas most pro-
life writer. Frances Hodgson Burnett, I'M
der the management of w. M. WILKINSON
long associated with many of the impor-
tant productions of the stage, and who was
so long connected with the late Alexander
Salvini. This play enjoyed many presenta-
tons at Wallacks theater, New York, and
was the distinct success of last season and
again this current season at the same thea
ter. 1t Is promised that on the visit here
an exact prototype of the play and pro-
duction will be furnished. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped that our theater-goerS will
avail themselves of this splendid opportuni-
ty to see this stupendous production and
observe the delightful work of Eugene
Blair in the role of Clorinda Wildairs, a
character that stands unique and alone.
The supporting company will be all that Is
claimed, each member being fully compe-
tent to interpret respective parts, as it Is
necessary that proficiency in each instance
prevail. Miss Blairs engagement is lin
tied to one performance and the sale of
seats begins tomorrow.

FIRE AND WATER DAMAGE
THE MEDICAL COLLEGE
Flames Spread from Flue Running from
Furnace In Dissectlng Room-Great-
est Damage BY Water.

A fire in the building of the Birmingham
Medical college about o'clock last night
did damage to the extent of few hundred
dollars, which loss is fully covered by in
surance. -
The fire caught from fue running from
a furnace in the dissecting room of the
college, which is on the fourth floor next
to the roof. When discovered the fire was
between the ceiling and the roof.
The Northside fire department responded
quickly to the alarm, and running their
hose up all four stories through the build
ing, the flames were extinguished before
any serious damage was done. The whole
ceiling of the dissecting room was burned
off, but the flames did not break through
the roof of the building. The greatest dam
age done was probably that by the water,
which soaked through the floors into the
rooms beneath, many of which were hand
somely papcred and carpeted.
There is an insurance of $500 carried by
the college on it's furniture and apparatus
in the building. The building itself is own
ed by Charles C. Harrison, of Philadelphia.
w. B. Leedy & Co. are his agents In this
city. The insurance on it Is $4,000.
