sUBsCRIPrION RATES,
King Vulcan " Approaches.

The rain has washed the dust from
the splendid May foliage and Rex Vulcan
". will be greatly gratfhed by the in
creasing beauty of his capital city. He
should come in May each year. He should
come oftener, but if he win not graciously
honor his capital but once a year, the
month of May is the proper time. The
royal nose and toes will not be nipped at
that time, whereas in February the wealth
err of the royal city is mighty onsartin.
Today every faithful subject will do all
that in his lies to honor the king, and the
royal festivities will extend throughout
tomorrow There will be floral parades
and professions and fireworks, and balls
and general feeling of rejoicing and mer-
riment making everywhere. The music
festival was happy prelude of the royal
visit.
The kings subjects should turn out today
as they never turned out before. Let mask
ers fill the streets. Cover every building
with bunting Show the royal colors in
every block and over every place of BUSH
mass. Let the two days-today and tomor-
row-be given over to a celebration of the
kings coming and stay in his prosperous
and rapidly increasing city

The Convention Question.

: All democrats-an white men in the
state-desire white supremacy and an
honest ballot How best to reach that re-
suit, is the question; and the time has GER
tainly Come when passion should be push
ed aside. and all should take up seriously
and without prejudice the difficult problem
Z If amendment be the best solution of the
problem, let amendments be perfected. If
common action can be reached by grand
primary of the white voters of the state,
let it be ordered at once.
The Age-Herald has all along believed
that broad and proper revision could best
be secured in constitutional convention,
but whatever plan be satisfactory to the
white people of Alabama will be satisfac-
tory to The Age-Tferald, and will receive
its unqualified and hearty support. Com
promises are a necessary feature of poll
tics 1t has been said that politics consists
time and place for compromises. The
white men of Alabama should get together.
Division and bitterness and recrimination
are now out of place. The issue relates not
only to white rule but to honesty and puri-
ty in public affairs. The end aimed at is
too important too far-reaching for trivial
movements and partisan action. The Age
Herald invites the white people of Ala
hama to come together. 1t summons them
to stand up for the common good-to have
an eye single to the welfare of the state,
and to subordinate all else to the peace
and prosperity of the state.

Proud of Its Success.

A great tone festival was promised, and
o great tone festival was given.
Birminghams first music festival is
ended. and everybody is proud that it was
a success. 1t was a success beyond the
most confident expectations. Those who
have attended the festivals regularly in the
greatest festival city in America, Gin
cinnati, have sometimes heard there music
which did not come up to that which was
heard here Friday and Saturday. 1t would
equal of Cincinnati musically or that her
festivals will, in the near time to come, at
tain the usual standard of the Cincinnati
festivals But it is repeated that those
at Cincinnati festivals have sometimes
heard music which did not equal that heard
in Birmingham. When it comes to COM
pairing the Birmingham festival with festi-
walls in other southern cities there is really
no comparison. Birmingham is easily
ahead of all of them.
In this city of smoke and traffic, material
interests naturally come first in the minds
of the people. But after our interest in
material thrift, should come our interest
I'm art, and especially in musical art. That
Birmingham is musical city is a fact that
no one will question now. And in this
fact every thoughtful person in this COM
munity must rejoice.
All honor to Mr.. Guckenberger, the expo
mated the festival scheme and trained the
chorus. and who directed SO ably most OF
the great numbers on the festival pro-
grammes. Without director of his varied
musical equipment festival on artistic
lines would have been impossible. All honor
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-05-08

to the members of the festival chorus who
labored SO faithfully and intelligently in
the festival cause. A music festival, as the
term is now clearly defined, includes first
and foremost a chorus. Without a chorus
there can be no festival, in the proper sense
of the term. To all the men and women
who took part in the festival the people
of Birmingham are only too glad to tender
their grateful Acknowledgements; and
finally, all honor to the citizens who sub
scribed to the guarantee fund and to the
Birmingham musical festival association.
1t was the festival association which looked
after the business end of the enter
prise.
An annual festival will be a permanent
institution of Birmingham, and music
lovers will look forward to each festival
with increasing interest.

v BERTHE Ba Wtinheimer.

BY BERTHE Bawtinheimer.
There's many an image In the stone
That waits for the scufptor's hand;
Through the long, long years 1t waits alone
Wrapt in obscurity round it thrown,
But the master fingers never come
To mould it into shape.
There's many flower that sweetly blooms,
Away from the human eye;
On the desert air it wastes perfumes.
And bushes at naught but the sky.
Alasi No ones gladdened by its light,
1t blooms, and fades-alone.
There's many a hin in the way OF life
That Is hard-so hard-to climb;
You would not notice it's care or strife
II helped by an act sublime,
But no one ever takes the time.
And you trudge away unhelped.
There's many a heart that waits today
For the touch of a loving word.
To take its grief or sorrow away,
To bring 1.-The beautiful from the clay;
But no one troubles to think of this,
And it observation-disclosures.
There's many a grumbler, as you know;
But scarcely ever you meet
One who forgetful of his woo,
Is ever calm and sweet.
So life is darker and harder to bear
For want Of help and love.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
Sometimes you find a woman who plays
a good whist hand, but generally 1t is more
like a foot.
Some men never see a minister without
trying to measure his Christianity with a
two-foot rule.
Probably Lucretia Borgia never poisoned
a friend without crying up three new lace
handkerchiefs at the funeral.
Silence don't necessarily mean consent in
a woman; it may only mean that she is
waiting to take it that way.
If an angel were to fly down in the street
any day, half the men who saw 1t would
feel of 1t to find the hooks theswires fas-

Up-rO-DArE JOURNALISM

From the Leighton News.
The Birmingham Age-Herald displayed a
very commendable piece of journalistic en-
terprise last Monday which just a little
surpassed anything ever done in that line
in Alabama, when it got out an extra con-
tanning Senator Morgans great letters on
the constitutional convention question, and
had the complete papers ON sale in Mont
gomery, 100 miles distant, in less than four
hours from the moment the first take" of
copy reached the printers. In order to do
this it was necessary to charter special
train, which made the run of ninety-six
miles in 116 minutes, and also to send along
a special force of newsboys. But then The
Age-Herald always was a hustler

Immediately upon receipt of this order

ALLEGED FRAUD
OF HENRY NJ. LAND
A WOuId-Be Attorney of Coz
Iumbus, Ga.
LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW
Before Georgia Supreme Court on Forge
ed Certifcate-StoodE Examination
Here in November and Turn
ed Down by the Judges

Circuit Judge A. A. Coleman of this city
and three members Of the Alabama su.
preme court may be called upon to bear
witness against Henry NJ Land, a would
be legal light of Columbus, Ga, who after
successfully duping the supreme court of
that state into granting him license to
practice law appears to have come to the
end of his line.
Land has practiced law in Columbus for
several years and was recently admitted TO
practice before the supreme court of Geor-
gia on certificate issued by an Alabama
court which, in the face of recently devel-
oped facts appears to have been a forgery.
Land is a native of Russell county, this
state, and located in Columbus -
years ago. He opened law office
he is said to have decorated with
ploma from the law department of
Alabama State university.
1t began to be noised about that young
Land was practicing without a license and
a letter of inquiry to the Dean of the Ala
bama university brought the information
that no such person had graduated at that
school,
Land became alarmed at his position and
sought admission to The bar in one of the
counties in South Georgia, where he was
turned down. Later, he applied for admis-
sion in Talbot county, but the examiners
found him lacking in legal lore and re-
fused his application.
Notwithstanding these facts he contin-
ued to practice and is said to have built
up a nice business.
Some months ago ne was granted permis-
sion to practice before the Georgia SUI
preme court, upon certificate from the
clerk of the circuit court of Lee county,
Alabama, that he had been admitted TO
the bar
1t appears that objection was raised to
his having been granted permission to
practice before the Georgia supreme court,
and an investigation was begun, with the
result that j. G. Beasley, the clerk of the
circuit court of Lee county declared that
he had never issued such a certificate and
that If it existed it was a forgery. It fur
ther developed that the name of A. A.
Coleman as circuit judge was used.
When these facts became known the
Georgia supreme court promptly revoked
Lands license and summoned him to APP
pear and show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt of court in practice
ing upon it fraud, in obtaining his IL
cense. The contempt proceedings have
been held up until nrxt Saturday on ac-
count of the illness of the defendant.
