GENUINE SOUTHERN EGG-NOGG
from the New York Evening Post.

fTOH lHe NeW IOTh GNSlllnS IOSt-
 The genuine southern egg-nogg is popu- lar refreshment to serve this winter at late suppers. A southern woman contributes this recipe: Take dozen eggs and beat the whites and yolks separately until very light. To the yolks add twelve tablespoon fuls of sugar, one-half pint of rum and a pint of brandy. This proportion of spirits may be modified or slightly increased as taste dictates. little nutmeg is grated in and a quart of cream slowly stirred into the mixture. Sometimes very rich milk with perhaps a cup of cream to add to it's rich ness is preferred to all cream. Before the whites are beaten in at the last moment, boiling water should be poured over them, and off at once, to cook them slightly. The drink is served in tall glasses, and usually fruit cake or a rich white cake is offered with it. The recipe for this white cake calls for the whites of sixteen eggs, one pound of white sugar, two tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, seven ounces of butter, one pound of flour, two tablespoonfuls of baking powder A fiavoring of bitter almond is particularly delicate for this cake.

Athletic Sports in Birmingham.

The gathering of a guarantee of nearly S2O0O in aid of music festival covering two days, was quickly accomplished. to the great credit of this city. The money will be we'll expended, even if the entire amount be lost, for the festival will won derfuly promote musical cultivation, and afford the peope entertainment of high order.
 But In the coming hot season something more will be needed. Outdoor sports will then become important, and a purse of $1,OO0 Is now needed In order to afford out door entertainments that will cover the four most trying months of the hot sea- son. Such a purse will secure base ball team that will be credit to Birmingham, as we'll Gs give Birmingham place in the ganizatlon.
 i There may be those who will sheer at base ball. but if the people who are so inclined will name any other outdoor sport. or in door amusement for that matter, that is freer from all reasonable objection, then The Age-Herald will admit that there Is a slight basis for their sneers. Base ball long ago gained place in the list of healthy invigorating and clean amuse- ments. It not only attracts people into The open air. but 1t holds them there, will ing prisoners. until they are well-flled with ozone, and comfort or the reverse as the case may be-. The rooter, especially of the thirty-third degree, expands his lungs to every breeze, and even the beginners take a new and human interest in what is going on about the diamond. All this is very good in hot weather, and all this can be se- cured to Birmingham, if the people will take steps to raise the guarantee. now asked for. A meeting to that end will be held today, and all lovers of outdoor sports should attend 1t.

Ratification Is Assured.
Editor

Even if Senator Jones, of Nevada, be counted against ratification the opponents of the treaty canot muster the thirty-one votes needed to plunge the country into confusion and unnecessary expense through a rejection of it. The confusion party claim Messrs. Bacon, Bate. Berry, Caffery, Chiffon, Cockrell, German, Hale, Hoar, Jones, of Arkansas; McEnery, McLaurin Mallory, Pasco, Pettigrew. Rawlins, Roach, Smith, Tiliman, Hurley, Turner, Turpie, Vest White and Jones, of Nevada-in all thirty; but MT. Jones, of Nevada, has given no indication of his coming vote. MT. Tur- pie will probably vote for a measure that will end the war; and 1t is more than likely that five or six more of the senators named will do likewise.
 Of the thirty named as obstructionists two are republicans, and two were elected as silver men, leaving twenty-six who are democrats. On the other hand, Messrs. Clay, Daniels, Kenney, Faulkner, Lindsay, will vote for the treaty, as will Messrs. Allen, Harris, Heitfeld, Kyle, Mantle, Stew art and Teller, all populists or silverites Nine democrats and seven third-party men will vote for ratification. The votes of these sixteen men will make ratification possible The sixteen will, in fact, bring the war to a close. The administration will not be apt to claim all the credit under such circum- stances.
 If Mr. Bryan's clear-headed advice had been followed, the republicans would have no opportunity to bring against the demo- crats the charge of obstruction, and the op- portunity to take a hand in moulding the relations of the government to the new pos sessions would remain unimpaired. The treaty is to be ratified. and whatever action is had against 1t on the part of democratic senators will be construed as anti-Ameri- can. It will, in fact, be open to the charge of obstruction and a desire to commit po- litical hari-kari. Ratification should com mand the vote of every democrat. There is no reason in the world why 1t should not

GOV. JoHNsToN's BOLD POSITION

From the Mobile News.
 This is not the first time Governor John ston has opposed local feeling, nor the first time that he has been threatened with a "roast" by angry people in indignation meeting assembled. He has heretofore paid no attention whatevere to such threats and he will not pay attention to the ex- pressions of dissatisfaction at Birmingham. He is endeavoring to correct wrong wher- ever it exists in public positions in Ala bama, and right-thinking people will sup port and applaud him for 1t. His opponents have had their say, and now his turn has come. Elsewhere in this paper is published a message on the subject which he sent to the general assembly today. The examin- CTS report was sent with the message. The governor requests that the general as sembly give the matter prompt attention. This matter Is likely to hold the attention of the people for some time, and, having said that The Age-Herald was not in sym pathy with its Birmingham contemporaries, we reproduce from its columns the follow ing editorial, and in doing so we heartily and unqualifedly endorse what it says in defence of the governor.

TOLD IN THE SENATE CLOAK ROOM
From the Washington Times.

From the WaShlnSton Times.
 Yesterday a half-dozen congenial spirits were gathered around a comfortable open fire in the republican cloakroom. The talk drifted on to the changes that were likely to take place in the senate after March. But speaking of gal," exclaimed one senator, brushing the ashes off his cigar and taking a long look at the blazing logs, what do you think of our new acquisi- tion, Simon?" MT. Simon, it may be said parenthetically, is the new senator from Oregon. Several senators coughed nervous ly and helped themselves to-fresh cigars "Simon is beach," the speaker resumed. "He beats anything that we have had here for some time Just think of it, before he had been in the senate twenty-four hours he filed an application for a position on the committee on rulesl Now, if he had asked for your place, Allison, as chairman of ap- propriations, or the chairmanship of finance or judiciary, it wouldn't have been so remarkable. But to think of his wanting to go on the rules committee before he had been here long enough to know how to make motion to adjourn. In the language of Artemus Ward, this Is 2 mutch' Aid rich, I understand, nearly had a fit when Simon made known his wishes to him. Poor Aldrich, he always was tender hearted! It cost him severe pang to turn Simon down. It's fact. I've got his word for it. No, Simon hasn't been placed yet When he is l am afraid that he will be disappointed. I think that he has a fair prospect of getting on the committee to look after ventilation in the interior de- partment."
