 'I believe the Legislature will adjourn next Saturday, December s, to re-assemble | perhaps in the early spring of next year, or rather that the General Assembly will | take prolonged recess in order to await the full recovery of Governor Sanford l from his illness" said a statesman of Ala | bama yesteday; man who is high in the | councils of the Democratic party and of | the lawmakers
 
 to me to be most advisable in the general sense, and to be due in no small degree to the great leader of the party now in power, who is sorely afflicted by physical disabi ity. The constitution and the laws permit i the Legislature to adjourn to whatever l date it should decide upon within the two l years of its legal existence: and so the l Legislature may prolong it's session as long ii will inc constitution proVidipO l only that members shall draw pay from I but fifty working days. I recall that in I the gossip of the Age-Herald some weeks ago there was a suggestion that the pro- posed adjournment to await Governor Samfords recovery be taken; and l be- heve the suggestion will be realized next 1 Saturday.
 'It is desirable that the public under stend thoroughly that there is the fullest and freest sympathy and cooperation be- l tween the friends of Governor Sanford and President Jelks and his friends. In fact 1 the friends of the two leaders are ident- cal: the Jelks men are Sanford men and the Sanford men are Jeks men, and all are in deepest sympathy with Governor | Sanford in his illness. And all of them hope for the Governors speedy recovery. Hence there is a general and earnest pur- pose to do whatever may seem most con siderate and is so concerning the Govern | or. Therefore I believe the Legislature Will adjourn Saturday. Certainly that seems to be the wisest course Meantime have no guesses to hazard as to imme- dlate developments at Montgomery" ''One New Years Day in Eufaula, a good few years ago, several of the many hospit- able families of that beautiful and hospit- able town kept open house. according to charming custom which unhappily is no longer observed on the first day of the New Year." said former resident of the oak embowered burg upon the yellow Chatta- hoochee.
 All the men went calling and were re- ceived cordially by all the charming wo- men of community famous for feminine loyeliness In one party, in two carriages, were William D. Jelks, now the central figure in the States affairs at Montgom- cry; the late Clement c. Shorter, subse- quenty Speaker of the House; Col James l.. Tanner, now of Birmingham; William A. Davis,, a business magnate of Annis- ton; Henry D. Clayton, now a Congress- man; Hon w. w. Wilkerson, now the dis
 
 mingham. and perhaps another man or two not unknown nowadays. The fun was very great; and everywhere there was beauty and wit and manliness. Some fair women called Tanner the Red. Knight because he wore red hosiery, and nicknames were found for some of the others. At one home of noble hospitality, noted for its good cheer and happiness, the recep- Afo,, ,f N1 famous was most cordial, and their joy was complete. In the rear parlor there was a huge antique punch bowl filled with an ambrosial decoction especially delicious and invigorating. The temperate young Jelks was greatly pleased, and after he had tasted half the glass from the fairest hand in the whole world, and of course declared that "a sweeter draught from fairer hands was never quaffed, he made as if he might fas- ten up his coat collar closely around his neck
 What are you going to do? she asked. "Tll take oath there is stick in that punch, and l going to swim for it! he said.
 "The clapping of the faireyt hands, the rippling laughter-I hear them ringing across the years" declared the man softly as he refilled his pipe
 May Yohe has returned to America, and I see it announced she as to again go the stage in some new play, the name of which is of no consequence, but which is probably | like all other new plays nowadays, very | rubbishy," said an old playgoer last night. l May Yone is now the wife of Lord Francis | Hope, heir presumptive to the dukedom of | Newcastle, seeing that the reigning duke has | no son; and it is understood to be unlikely | that he will be blessed with an heir. The 1 duke is little man who is afflicted with l physical deformity, and he concerns himself l largely with one of the factions of the l Church of England.
 | "The newspapers in New York and else- l where in this country are giving May Yohe | a great deal of free advertising as Lady
