| LINCOLN AND ALABAMA REBEL '
 LOST DEAL. WITH PRESIDENT

past S the Jeff Davis Home now stands"
 Mrs Hardy's letter throughout demon- strates that she is worthy descendant of that noble old man who. in support of the cause of the South, gave immense sums of his own money, and who time and time again risked his life in order to come face to face with the immortal Lincoln and strive to drive with him a bargain which would provide shoes and clothing for the barefooted and ragged Confederate sol diers. Mrs. Hardy is in fact a. poet of rare grace, and the Age Herald Is permitted to print something from her pen.
 Whilst the Alabama rebel and the Union President were holding converse at the White House they heard of the fall of Richmond. That made MT. Bibbs mission a vain one, and he went to New York where a few days later, he heard the world-resounding shock of Appomattox!
 In my work in this particular, and In many other instances of my brief past have been deeply indebted to MT. John Witherspoon DuBose the noble historian of Yancey. whose rich and wise conyersa- tion I am occasionally permitted to enjoy He generously pardons me for making use sometimes of facts he so graphically re- lates, and through him I am enabled to print facts of great national interest which have in no other way ever been given to the public. MT. DuBose is not only the most capable historian of the South, so- cialy, politically and materially, whom have personally known, but he Is the first who still dwells amongst us; in these par ticulars Is the first of the Southerners! The question constantly asked mellow did you know?"-is answered in no small part by the statement that I personally know John Witherspoon DuBose.

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY
Local Treatment for catarrh Releeat-
 ed to the Rear.

The surest and safest treatment for any form of catarrh is an internal remedy which acts specifically upon the blood and mucous membranes. Such remedy is the new preparation sold everywhere by drug gists as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a medi- cine in pleasant tablet form.
 These tablets contain in highly concen- trated form well known germ anticeptics like sanguinaria, guaiacol, Red Gum and similar curative elements, and no one who suffers from any form of catarrh, and has experienced the inefficiency and inconven- fence of powders, sprays and inhalers, will ever go back to such antiquated remedies after once trying so pleasant a treatment as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and one which gives so much relief in So short time.
 Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full sized acage and their daily use will effectualy cure this trouble some and dangerous disease.
 The danger from catarrh Is that it is a short road to consumption, to chronic stomach catarrh and to catarrh of liver and kidneys.
 Most cases of deafness are caused from stoppage of the Eustachian tube as a re- suit of catarrh

AMERICA LEADS
 GREAT BRITAIN United States Now Foremost Among Exporting Nations. INTERESTING STATISTICS For Eleven Months of the Present Year United States Is Ahead of England
 By $5,473,67o In Value
 of Exports.
INTERESTING STATISTlC'

Washington, December 29.-(Special)- Figures prepared by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics would indicate that the United States has finally taken the lead of Great Britain as an exporting nation, a position which makes the United States foremost of the exporting nations. The exports of the United States are almost exclusively those of home production
 In 1894 Great Britain exported articles worth a quarter of a million more than the total exports of our own country but in 1897 this British lead was cut down to sixty millions, while in 1898 the United States forged ahead, her exports exceeding those of the United Gingdom by one hundred millions. Last year Great Britain led again, but by the narrow margin of thirty five millions. For the eleven months of the present year the United States lea is Great Britain by $5,473,670 in the value of its exports, and the figures for December promise to show slight increase in this lead, making the United States the leading exporter of domestic products.
 As better proof of the real growth of the American export trade, it can be said that while France shows no increase in her exports during the last quarter of this cen tury, Germany an increase of 50 per cent and the United Kingdom one of 40 per cent

A Close Gall.
rom the Boston Record.

From the Boston Record.
 Colonel Pew tells a story of the Tenth Regular Infantry that is pretty good One night in Cuba one of the sentries was a raw recruit from the Green Isle, and the officer of the day, on his rounds, was chal- lenged by him.
 "Who goes there?'
 "Oficer of the day"
 Not move on the part of the sentry, and the O. d. stepped forward and again was greeted by "Who goes there?" and again replied in the same way. Not a move on the part of the sentry. but the O. d. heard an ominous click.
 What are your orders, anyway" he asked.
 "Challenge three times, then ire," was the laconic and self-satisfled answer, and the O d. s hat was raised on his hair as he realized how near he was to being pepper ed by the sentry. The latter was given a few instructions before he went on sentry duty again.

the United States in that period shows an increase of almost 200 per cent In 1875 the total value of American exports was $497, . 263,737, while the total of Great Britain was $1,0S7, ,497, 900. In 1876 the figures were s575,s 735,S04 for the United States, and $976, 410, I GOO for Great Britain. In 1880 the United States exported $S75 564, ,075 worth of domesl tic products, and Great Britain a total of $10S5, ,521, 000 In 1885 the total value of our exports was $673, 593,506, and of the United Kingdom $1037, 900. In 1890 our exports had grown to $S45. .999, sos, and those of Great Britain were S,2S2 174,OO0. In 1895 the fgy ures stood $S07, 742,415 for the United States and SLIGO, ,542,0 900 for Great Britain. In 1897 for the first time the value of American exports had risen above the billion dollah mark, aggregating g, ,079 S34, ,296, while thosA of Great Britain were S1 139, ,SS2, 000 In 1898 the American total stood at $1, ,233, ,564 S2S, and the British at s1,135 642, 900; 1899 showed these figures, the United States S1, 253, ,4S6 000 and Great Britain $1,2S7. .971 ,039. For the eleven months this year the American to- tai is $1 30S, ,913 7S9, or more than the total of any nation the United States included, for any twelve months In its history, while the British total Is $1,303, ,440, 900, or more than in any previous year in the history of that nation If the percentage for the first eleven months holds good for December, the total exports of each nation will bet United States, $1 421 9O5, ,951, and Great Brit- ain $1, ,421 934, ,545 an excess of the American total over~the British of $5,971, 406

SPECIAL SALE
For January Advertised By Loveman,
 Joseph & Loeb.

The progress of merchandising was never ment now adopted by the leading stores in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and elsewhere of holding gigantic muslin un- derwear sales during the month of Janu- ary.
 For a long time it has been the custom to accept the January loss and depression as a matter of course, for there's no ty- ranny like the tyranny of tradition. And certainly it breaks down all the old fences to attempt the sale in the dullest month of the year. Precedent is against 1t. But a new precedent is established, and today there are a few cities-those which boast of the most enterprising and the largest stores in the country-where these sales are now held.
 In this city, Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, the largest store South of the Ohio an- nounce that beginning tomorrow there will be muslin underwear sale.
 "It Is now the custom of the great stores of the United States" said the manager of this firm yesterday, ito go to the lead ing muslin underwear manufacturers In their dull season and say to them: 'Busi- ness now is practically nil Unless you fill some orders to keep the machinery run ming through the dull season it will be a dead loss. If you will make for us so many thousand dollars worth of underwear at the merest profit, we will place the order For the sake of keeping things going, the manufacturer acquiesced.' Being unrushed, he put in the maximum quality at the min imum price.
 ''Then the goods come to the retail mer- chant. In retailing the goods we put them on sals lR the dullest season of the year.

THE PLAY=

A noteworthy engagement is that for to- morrow and Tuesday nights and New Years Day matinee. when Clyde Fitch's powerful play of Nathan Halee will be presented at the Jefferson Theatre.
 It has been said of the play that no more brilliant example of a truly representative American work exists in the literature of the American stage. The production will be made with all the accoutrement that characterized It's successful career during it's long run at the Knickerbocker Theatre, New York MT. Clyde Fitch, the author, is enthusiastic over the cast that will set forth the merits of his play. The title role of the spy-hero, who sacrificed his life at the age of twenty-one for his country, and whose famous dying words, only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country" have gone down in history as a noteworthy utterance of a sublime hero, VIII be in the hands of the young Ameri- can actor, Howard Kyle. This actor has acquired through the force of his fervor and intelligence an enviable reputation as one of our prominent leading men, He is well known through his long association

January. We mark them at a slight profit marking them just high enough to pay for the clerk hire and expenses. That's where merchandising comes in.
 s''rhe majority of the stores acknowledge they are on the horn of a dilemma, as far as buying is concerned, and accept the de- precision of January business as a matter of course. A store like Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's makes money by saving expenses. That sounds note that signals it's suc- cess. And so this rear we have bought enough muslin underwear to figure in a re- tail way up to s10o00. At normal prices 1t is easily worth S140OO or $15,OO0. That this sale will be a success Is assured by the shadow which it casts before it. Today in oure advertisement we are offering muslin underwear at such low prices that the women in this busy age will not undertake the trouble to make that which they can buy cheaper
 And this sale should interest the entire State of Alabama. We are quite sure of this, indeed, to the extent that we back our opinion in financial way, for we have already contracted a space in the Weekly sAge-Herald, which, by the way, is a most excellent way to reach the country people of Alabama. In the Weekly Age-Herald of next Friday we will publish an extraordi- nary announcement for the benefit of our mail order trade. In substance 1t will be similar. to that told in our advertisement today"

Mr. Rryan and His Paper.

Lincoln Correspondent New York Tribune.
 Mir ". J. Bryan Is actively engaged in arranging for the publication of his new paper, the Commoner. While he has made no definite arrangements regarding the de- tails of it's publication, that phase ot the work was suggested to him by a friend today, and in reply to query he said; 'l suppose I shall do part of tine mechanical work myself I will join the local Typo graphical Union, and that will enable me to do such of the work as may fit my fancy" This was said in a semi-serious manner. When asked about 1t further, MT Bryan said: "I have made no definite plans. Of course I may join the union as my sym pathies are with the unionists."
 Mir Bryan has received many applications for advertising rates for his paper, and this has presented to him one of the dilemmas of the publisher He admits that he knows little about advertising and publishing. His trother, Charles Bryan, will probably look after the business management of his pa per. MT. Bryan will start for trip south in a few days, and immediately after his re- turn he will arrange for the publication of the initial number of The Commoner. He said tonight that he could not state the ex- act date of it's first publication.

BY LUcIEN JULIEN WALKER.


 The other day there was printed in the Age-Herald's Hotel Lobbies columns some references to great families of old Ala bama who had builded the State and made fame, but concerning whom history as we now scan it Is silent. Notable amongst these were the Bibbs and the Gllmers of Montgomery more especially the late Will fam Crawford Bibb and the late Frank Gill mer.
 The present William Crawford Bibb, rep re sentative in the General Assembly from Montgomery County, wrote in kind and ap- preciative commendation of what was writ ten regarding his distinguished father, and now there comes long and exquisftely beautiful letter from his gifted sister, Mrs. Cornelius Hardy of Columbus, Miss, whose pride in her fathers name and devotion to his memory are most womanly and touch- ing.
 In the previous story emphasis was placed upon the interview between the stout old rebel, William Crawford Bibb, and Abra- ham Lincoln, which took place in the White House in the closing days of the war be- tween the States, MT. Bibb having gone to the President for the purpose of offering bales of cotton to the Union in exchange for cloth and shoes for the Confederate sol diers, and doing so with the authority Of Governor Watts of Alabama.
 He suffered arrest and faced the peril of death many times in his journey from Montgomery to Washington, but he reached Lincoln and had long interview with him over a friendly luncheon
 MT. Bibb imparted something of his faith in the Confederate cause to MT. Lincoln
 MT Lincoln became impressed with my fathers scruples," writes Mrs. Cornelius Hardy, and the two men affiliated from the moment that each expressed himself; so much so, that MT. Lincoln presented my father with papers securing all of his property against the invasion of the North ern troops. Although standing unprotected on an enemy's ground, and with trepida- tion, my father said:
 MT Lincoln, I appreciate your kind ness, but must say to you that cannot accept it without first telling you that I | am true in my allegiance to the South.' For a moment the eyes of the President | fell and a cloud passed over his face-ne
 was passionate man, though a just one | and then he extended bis hand and replied the mighty Lincoln replied: l MT. BlpD, l admire your ScfupleS, II makes no difference; perhaps under simi- | lar circumstances I would have acted as | you have done. Go-and God bless your My father, on account of delay of a l train, reached home at Montgomery one day too late-after his rolling mill, which | had been of such vital importance to the l Confederacy, had been burned by Union soldiers, who committed other devastations. Fortunately for my fathers family during his absence on his perilous mission to Abra- ham Lincoln, he left to guard us in the old Jeff Davis House., Union man to whom on one occasion he had been kind though my father was loyal to the South withal This Union man was enabled on the night ot the Yankee invasion to have placed a guard of hundred soldiers around our home, which was then a paradise of roses, shell-bordered beds and evergreens, and not the old barn and relic of W4thsysd

acter of the subjects that the author has drawn upon for material for his play 1t is not surprising that the results of hts ef- forts should have at least the advantage Of novelty. The inner workings of the opl- um ioirt afford theme which has never before been exhibited on the stage, and Is certainly a substitute for the time-worn incidents usually found in melodrama There are a number of Chinamen in the play, including fan-fan players, deVotees of the 'black smoke' and other varieties are a squad of police a troupe of gymnasts sailors and stunning party of American girls.
 It can easily be seen that such an aggre- gation of incidents new to the stage mas at least the right to be considered as de- parture from the usual run of plays of is class Incidental to several scenes, spe- cialties are introduced which serve to light en up the play.

Senator pavls, Successor.

From the Boston Herald
 The Republicans of Minnesota have ape parently two excellent candidates for the vacancy from that State in the United States Senate in Robert Y. Evans of Min. neapolis and Moses E. Clapp of St, Paul, The testimony is to the effect that both are lawyers of ability, and either would well fill the office. There are two millionaires, however, one in railroads and the other in lumber, seeking 1t. Those familiar with Minnesota affairs knows that there Is ns tense rivalry between St. Paul and Mime. apois which may have It's effect In the con, test. It is to be hoped that this may not be the means of defeating both the candi. dates from these cities and comforting the position upon person of more question: able fitness for 1t.

 Sam, Pse understand youse tookin un- to youself a new woman?" said MT. John- ston.
 "Ill kunfess Fse guilty" meekly re- sponded Sam, his countenance covered with a broad grin.
 Did you all git a good start?"
 Sam was apparently very anxious to an swer this question, and in a much louder tone said:
 Well, I should say I did get a good start. I got an old woman wid eleben lit- tie nickaninnies"
 Everybody who heard the remark was satisfied Sam had really a good start
