Astrologer RaphaeIs prophecies for this day, Sunday October 21, 1900:
 Court; visit thy friends
 Be careful of sickness and disappoint- ment: thy business, with care, may, be kept together but run no risks
 "A child born on this day will be yer: fortunate in the employ of others, and will quickly rise: it will be free with it's money and spend it very fast
 Astrologer Raphael's prophecies for Monday, October 22, 1900:
 Ask favors, travel and push thy busi- ness"
 "Thou wilt have fortunate year for thy business and a very active one"
 "The young will court"
 "A child born on this day will be active, industrious and fortunate in employ; if a female she will marry a person older than herself"
 "A prospective bride from a neighboring city was in here today, and we sold her a superb bridal outfit, costing far into the hundreds" said Birmingham dry goods merchant. "She couldn't obtain what she wanted in her own town, and so very prop erly she came to Birmingham. We get a great deal of that sort of trade, some of it coming from as far away as Savannah. This is mentioned to emphasize point that I confess is rather sore one for the merchants of Birmingham. That is the refusal of many Birminghamians to spend their money with Birmingham mer- chants. We wouldn't ask or expect high class trade if we were not fully prepared to satisfy the most exactingly fastidious customers. But Birmingham merchants employ in New York expert dressmakers and milliners, bring them to Birmingham, and pay them high wages to work up the highest class materials; and they are there. fore entitled to the highest classs custom CTS Yet, not only is Birmingham trade in luxurious goods frequently sent elsewhere even to Atlanta, of all places under the sun-but orders for ordinary necessities are sent away. And herein rests a real hardship
 Birmingham merchants pay very heavy taxes for the privilege of doing business they largely make the city, and keep jt out of bankruptcy; but outsiders are suf- fered to come here and sell to retail deal CTS without paying a cent for the privi- lege.

be great without being wrong.
 Far away, beyond the oceans sleepess sweep, so far that only love may bridge the space as love may kiss the farthest star and name it of the beloved, there sleeps an ancient city set upon hill. Kings have slumbered there a thousand years amongst them some immortals-one saint Before lust of pelf and power. and bigotry and intolerance and strife, came as the dev irs wickedness, when Faith ruled the world, holy men and holy women dwelt there and held benign sway. Good men and good women-angels of light and love still dwell by the consecrated ground.
 In the gloamng of one day, in that far land where it seems gloaming alway, in happy time that is gone, one fair heiress of the ancients walked with wanderer from the strangers country over sea, far the sunset way. The faith of the ancients was not her faith; but their spirit of rever- ence survived in her abundantly. The world of this maiden and wanderer was very young and wondrously happy. They had a world of their own and asked not whence or whither Some chance speech of hls checked her merrment, as cry might check the song of bird that is free. She turned him into the winding way they still call St Margaret's, saying there was les son for him in the gloom.
 At the low door of a any-gabled house. older than the proud flag which has for thousand years braved the battle and ths breeze, she rested her hand upon his sleeve, and bade him read his lesson, saying that the house was the abode of holy abbots centuries before the race which was the race of each of them owed a divided ale glance.
 Above the old doorway was great stone bearing an inscription wrought by pious hands that had been folded through long ages Patiently, almost hungrily, in si- fence he deciphered the crude letters of tongue as dead as the pious father who wrote Each word as he found it burned itself into his mind and the lesson taught shall not be forgot: ''Since word is thrall and thought is free, Guard well thy tongue, 1 counsel thee.
 Over the hill upon green, beyond lar winding valley forever green, the angel maiden has slept through the dusks and dawns of many year; but cherished mem ory of her and the lesson to which she gently led the way long ago, people the vigiIs of the night with angel figures and angel loves and angel hopes; and borne up on the incense of calm joy, the voices of the vision of happiness bid the lesson be given to you of the unquiet world.

But even with such 8 low cost for high-class attractions the people of Birmingham have taken only about 800 single season tickets. In Chatta- nooga the Lyceum, giving about the same attractions as the one in this town, has sold 1900 season tickets. In Nashville there are two Lyceums, one of which, the Taber- nacle Lyceum, has so many members that they get course of fifteen entertainments for $1 .5O, or about 10 cents per admission.
 Why is Birmingham so far behind Nash vile and Chattanooga in support of the Lyceum? Is it that our people do not ap- preciate such entertainments. or is it be- cause the matter has not been sufficiently brought to their attention? We trust it Is the latter

Two more weeks and we shall be upon the eve of the Presidential contest. Several weeks ago Democratic chances of success appeared but slight. The Democratic Ma tional Committee was practically without funds and almost without hope. Now all things have changed. The people them selves, regardless of the politicians, seem to be arising in their might The Demo- cratic leaders have passed the hopeful stage and now speak with apparent confidence. Chairman James K. Jones says 263 electoral votes are certain for Bryan and Stevenson, and Senator Jones should know whereof he speaks.
 If Bryan is elected and stop is put to this expense of imperialistic aspirations there will be rejoicing among business in- terests well as among the people. This expense of two hundred million dollars an nually in the Philippines is growing monot- onous. Good citizens raised no protest against the revenue stamp tax in times of actual war. but now that there be no fur ther use for it outside of Philippine aspira- tions. the people are tired of paying stamp taxes upon every bottle of medicine they buy, every express package and telegram they send, upon every deed or mortgage recorded and every bank check drawn. One railroad corporation in the south had to pay eighteen thousand dollars for revenue stamps on a mortgage recorded ten days ago, and every real estate sale about Birm- ingham must bear with it a revenue tax for Uncle Sam to push imperialism. The people are growing very weary of this The official census report of Jefferson County will bring forth smiles of content ment in plenty. There are 140,420 people resident in this county, an increase of more than 5S per cent within the past decade

Germany Blocks the Way.

When Russia is not bumptous in China, turn. The truth Is, neither at heart de- sires a reasonable settlement of the trou- bes that have arisen, but Russia is pressed financially, and is not ready for action, at heart desire partition of Chinese terri tory but Russia wants to postpone the cut ting up and slicing off until she is better prepared to enforce her schemes.
 Germany, on the other hand, has her own Von Waldersee on the spot; German fleet is or soon will be in Chinese waters, and German soldiers are landed in China al most daily Aggression instead of concila- ton is the keynote of the Germans Their demand for the surrender to the allies of the chief instigators of the attacks upon the legations is in fact an attack upon ChI- na itself, because the demand is preliminary To peace negotiations. China is not state at all if she must respond to such demands
 The truth is, Germany is trying to delay ard to compicate negotiations so that oc- equation of Pekin and of all other terri tory now held by the allies will become necessary throughout the winter. In the course of the winter she will develop a plan of permanent occupation. Asiatic and European entanglements are about to be tangled worse than they ever have been, and Germany will take the leading part in the mischief.
 The best hope of a settlement on the basis oI the integrity of China and the open door consists in the withdrawal of Russian troops and a conciiatory policy on her part, because she Is not ready for any other course. France is her me, too,' and win follow her example. This leaves England. Japan and the United States to fight it out with Germany. If the problem takes this form, it ought not to be difficult to secure a settlement within the demands of the United States, within justice and within terms that will leave China in condition to rocuperate and rehabilitate herself on new lines in her own way and time.
