THE EATING AT COL. sPRouLE's

There is a lot of good eating. as should
be expected. in the works of the Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table, and the tea
which the plump widow gave in vain to
the wealthy widower. Dudley Venner, at
once thrust itselfs itself on the anxious
mind. She it was who provided occasion
for the framing of the ~well-known aphor-l
isms: Cream is thicker than water
and Large heart never loved little cream
pot Still more sump,uous was the
feast at Colonels Sprowle's, with those
rare luXuries, shell oysters, and it's mag
nificent assortment of cakes.
There We're great cakes and little
cakes, cakes with raisins in them, cakes
with currants, and cakes without either;
there were brown cakes and yellow cakes
frosted cakes, glazed cakes. hearts and
rounds and jumbles, which playful
youth slip over the finger before spelling
their annular outline. There were
mounds of blo'monje of the arrowroot
variety-that being undistinguishable
such as is made with Russia isinglass.
There were ~jellies, which had been shak-
ing all the time the young folks were
dancing in the next room as if they were
balancing to partners. There We're built
up fabrics called Charlottes, caky ex-
ternally, PUPPY within; there were also
maranSS, ana likewise cuSldfuS-SOme OF
the INDECENT fluid sort, others firm, In
which every stroke of the teaspoon left a
smooth conchoidal surface like the frac-
ture of c~halcedony, with here and there
a little eye like wha one sees in cheeses
Nor was that most wonderful object OF
domestic art called trife wanting, with
it's charming confusion Of cream and jel-
ly,, and wine and cinnamon and froth,
nor yet the, marvellous floating island
name suggestive of all that is romantic
in the ~imaginations of youthful palates.'

SCALE CONFERENCE TODAY
Coal Operators and Miners Will Meet
 at Oakman

An effort will be made at Oakman today Walker County to adjust the differences that exist at some of the mines in that county.
 At noon conference between the opera tors and the miners will begin at Oak man, and it Is believed that an agreement will be reached before final adjournment. It is said the trouble between the miners and the operators there grew out of the sliding scale, which is in effect in the dis trict and which is based on the price of iron. Hardly any of the Walker County coals are used in the manufacture of iron and it is stated that for this heason there is some objection to the scale in that county.
 President George w. Young, of the Ala bama district of the United Mine Workers who was in the city yesterday, will go to Oakman today to attend the conference.
 Only a few of the mines in Walker Coun- ty are now idle, and these employ but a few hundred men, probably not over 300 all told
 W. R. Fairley, member of the National Executive Board of the United Mine Work CTS of America, for Alabama, left yes- terday afternoon for Tracy City, Tenn, to meet the miners in that district who are at present idle The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company has not made a contract with the miners in Tennessee yet but 1t is believed they will do so in a few days, probably this week.

THE DEMOCRATS
 WAITED TOO LONG
Shelby County Nominees Not
 Certified in Prescribed Time. NO DEMOCRATS ON TICKET
The Nominations Were Filed One Day After Expiration of the Time, and Their Names Are N ot Print
 ed on the Ticket

The Democrats of Shelby County seem to have gotten themselves into something of a mudde and defeat at the August election is one of the unpleasant probabilities that now confront them
 For some unaccountable reason the ticket for county officers put out by the Demo- crats of that county was not certified to the office of the Probate Judge within the time prescribed by law and for that req son the Probate Judge refuses to have their names printed on the official ballot. This condition of affairs will create con fusion and may result in the loss of sever al votes to the Democrats in the election to be held on the first Monday in August.
 The law requires that all nominees for county officers must be certified to the Probate Judge not less than twenty days before the day of election. Any other per son who is a candidate for county office must file a petition with not less than 800 signatures of qualified voters within the same time.
 It seems that the names of the nominees for county offices were not certified to the Probate Judge until after the time for do- ing so had expired, in other words, it lack ed but nineteen days from the date the certificates were filed until the day of cleo tion. This was one day short of the re- quirement and the Probate Judge, who is Populst, took advantage of the tardiness of the Democratic nominees to go on the ticket.
 This settles the question so far as the official ticket goes, and the only way the Democrats can vote for the nominees will be to write their names on the blank lines, which the law directs shall be provided. To bring this condition to the attention of all Democrats in Shelby County it will be necessary for thorough canvass of the entire county to be made and for every Democrat to be advised as to the method by which he can cast a vote for his party nominees
 In view of the situation in Shelby more speakers will take the stump thera than would otherwise have done so. They will dwell with particular emphasis on the ne- cessity of each Democrat writing the name of each nominee on the ticket he votes
 Some confusion is likely to result from the fact that there are two nominees for nominee for State Superintendent of Esdn- cation is named John W. Abercrombie and the Republican nominee is J. J. Abercrou- bic. To avoid confusion and possibly voting for the wrong man Democrats will do well to fix in their minds the names of the nominees of their party.

STILL FINDING
 STOLEN GOODS
Police Officers Secure Another Wagon Load-Grant Said to
 Have Made Confession.

The work of recovering the goods stolen from the Alabama Great Southern cars is still going on. James Grant, one of the men arrested by Officers Cole and Shirley early Sunday morning. has revealed the goods, and it is believed that all of the goods missing from the cars will be re- covered before noon today.
 Another wagon load, consisting of over als, shirts, trousers, shoes, etc, was taken from Dave Coplans place of business in Second avenue between Twenty-first and Twenty streets yesterday morning. Ut is believed that the goods were stolen from the Birmingham Manufacturing Com pany.
 It is said that Grant has declared his in tention of making a complete confession and asking for the lightest sentence when he comes to trial. It has been stated that Grant was for a long time an employe of the Southern road, but lost his position on account of difficulty with another en- poye He came to Birmingham and se- cured another position, but had more trouble here and was again discharged. Then, as he expressed it, "the road owed him living, and he meant to collect it.'
 Grant seems to realize his serious situa- tion thoroughly and his wife, it is said, is almost prostrated with grief
 The trial of the three men, James Grant, Dick Borck and David Coplan is set for next Thursday in the inferior criminal court Ceplan has engaged the services of Joseph Montgomery, who will represent him at the trial.
 The value of the goods believed to have been stolen that have been deposited in Chief Austin's office is estimated at about s650.
 The railroad officials express much sat- isfaction over the recovery of their proper ty. Officers Cole and Shirley deserve much credit for their excellent work

MASCOT AT LAKEVIEw L
The Opening Night of the Opera Was a
 Great Success

Mascot at Lakeview last night was the hit of the summer opera season The Elite Opera Company never appeared to better advantage on an opening night, and the audience was enthusiastic in its apprecia- ton. The audience, by the way, was one of the largest that has been seen at Lake, view this summer. The costuming was beautiful, both for principals and chorus, being the best the company has yet had. The military costumes of the young ladies in the third act were particularly fetching.

 Miss Minnie Credup Cesey. as the haugh- ty Countess Fiametta, who loved the shep- herd Pippo, acted as only Miss Yesey can act a naughty role She has not the op- portunity in Mascot" as she has had in some of the proceeding operas for showing off the voice that the audience loves so well, but Fiametta has numerous oppor- tunities for good acting. Her one-sided love scene with Pippo was particularly good.
 Charles c. Washburn was transformed last night from the gruff old Captain De Merrimac of last week to Pippo, the light hearted youth of eighteen-from bass to tenor voice ,and he stood the change ex- cellently. He entered thoroughly into the spirit of his part and in singing, dialogue and gesture was effective and pleasing.
 Dr. William F. McKenny, as Prince Fred eric, was very handsome, both in person and costumes, and did his part of the in sipid lover and later as the spirited soldier in most pleasing manner.
