 When Sullivan returned to England at the age of twenty he was we'll equipped for a musical career, and his first important work. the incidental music for Shake speare's Tempest" was highly praised. His first large work was the oratorio, "Prodigal Son." performed at the Worches- ter, Mass, Festival, and his next was the oratorlo, "The Light of the World" per formed at the Birmingham, England, Festi- val He not only wrote the music, but constructed the librettos of his oratorios.
 He composed a "Te Deum' and several other brilliant sacred works, large and small. He composed festival cantatas hls Golden Legend being a work of eXcep- tional beauty and popularity. He composed piano music, chamber music, overtures and SympnOnleS. lie NTOie several Sidiu op- eras But Sullivans most original and pop ular work, and altogether his best, was his burlesque opera music for Gilbert's libret- tos "Pinafore," "The Pirates of Pen zance," "The Mikado" and the rest belong to high art, and will surely live No other composer of comic opera in this century has anything like come up to Sullivan. Among musicians "The Mikado" ranks highest perhaps, but all of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas are regarded as master works
 The Queen knighted Arthur Sullivan Tn 1SS3 but eve1 a rarer distinction than knighthood was that conferred by Oxford as early as 1S76-the honorary degree of D. c. L. In 1879 Cambridge conferred OH him the degree of L. L. D.
 England's rising musician today is Vil- Hers Sanford a pupil of Brahms. He has composed great classic music for orchestra and chamber band. But it will be long while before a genius of Sir Arthur popu- larity and all round equipment comes upon the stage. Sullivan's fame is secure, and a prominent place his name must always have in the history of musical achievement.

IF OHtY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Great Rirminuham.

Alderman Walter Moore recently called attention 10 the fact that the surrounding communities are preparing to incorporate themselves with view of bonding them selves, and he urged that their improve ment could best be done in accordance with a general plan. He suggested that money could thus be saved, and all concerned benefited. There is a deal of good sense in MT Moore's proposition, namely, that these outlying districts, which are in every sense parts of Birmingham, be taken in before they have filled the world with bonds
 The truth is, the consolidation of Birm- ingham should not be deferred to the last moment to be taken up hurriedly just as a new census is about to be made All the time between now and the next census is needed for the work; and a start should therefore be made in the present Legisla- ture. Why should not bill be passed at once providing for the annexation of Smith field, Elyton, North Birmingham and Avon dale, including East Birmingham? In every way these districts would be benefited by annexation, and Birmingham would then be ready to asslmilate districts still be- yond
 Let start be made in the present Legis- lature. Especially should all districts that prefer annexation be taken in, and a vote in Smithfield, Elyton, North Birmingham and Avondale would, we feel sure, result in favor of annexation. Mayor Drennen should give this subject the attention it deserves, for there is no other that out ranks it. The city hall proposition is of feathers weight alongside it, and so are other questions that absorb the time of the city authorities If Mayor Drennen will not take the leadership in this matter, let Representative O'Brien or some other mem Der of the Jefferson County delegation as sume the leadership, for he may be sure that he will have the people behind him.

actual possession of the position. exsroising it's functions though his appointment or election may have been irregular. illegal or of undetermined illegality. The acts of an officer de facto are valid and effectuai as to the public and third persons, and cannot be called into question collaterally, nor can the question as to whether he be an officer de jure be settled in proceedings between third persons. This principle has been recognized in recent decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama, in which It was held that, although 1t did not appear that special judge had been properly ap- pointed yet his judgment was valid be- cause he was at least de faeto officer.
 This disposes of the hold-over doctrine, which is alike unnecessary and contrary to the rights of the people, But the aues- ton will not arise in the executive office, for the Governor-elect will be sworn Tn on December 1, and if his strength should then fail him, he would be sue ceeded by President of the Sen ate Jelks, and he in turn by Speaker Pettus. This is the line of success sion, and this is the line at the present moment, and in no event would 1t bring confusion to the State. because a de facto officer is to all intents and purposes, for the time being, the sole and only officer. After December 1 Governor Johnston would be neither a de facto nor a de jure officer, because his successor in the regu- lar line would assert his rights, and these rights would be recognized by the Legls lature and the other State officers. A hold oyer might be able to create some con fusion and discussion, but that would be all He is not in the line of succession and must in any event go out of office De- cember l.

The incident occurred Aug. g. 1898.

march.
Back Of the great flag, the emblem of
a united nation. planted on the side of
the hill where the reviewing stand was

endeavoring to force his way to a point

had hardly been secured when Gen

the field, where they had been "riding

The trumpeter was about to sound
the signal for the advance when the
young girl in the carry-all leaped to the
ground and ran across the field to
where General Breckenridge sat on his
handsome bay. She stopped when

6,0OO acres of land and twenty claims
in the new Ell Dorado, when 1t should
be won. The Matabeles were attacked
on three sides, their capital, Buluwayo,,
was taken, and great was the slaugh-
ter. Opinions differ as to the justicA
of the Matabele war, but it put the,
South African Company on it's feet
again, which was its purpose. On April
20, 1893, Matabeleland was thrown
open to the world.
The new land was called Rhodesia.
Rhodes was made premier of the col

Victoria's privy councillor, a purely
honorary position.
His great ambition was partly real

Great Britain's possessions.
The present war in South Africa is

Rismnrck's Enormous Appetite.

Among other amusing "reminiscences
of the late Prince Bismarck appearing
in John Booths memoirs of the Iron
Chancellor is one relating to the
latter's Gargantuan capacity for eating
and drinking. He told the author that
the largest number of oysters he ever
ate was 175. He first ordered twenty
five, then, as they were very good, fifty
more; and, consuming these, determin-
ed to eat nothing else, and ordered an
other 100, to the great amusement of
those present. Bismarck was then 26,
and had just returned from England.
His views on smoking are of interest,
though most people will be surprised to
learn that in late years his powers OF
cigar smoking failed him.

The most picturesque figure next to
Dom Paul in the Anglo-Transvaal war
Is Cecil Rhodes, diamond king and pol
itician. He Is the mightiest million
aire of the age. Others may have more
money, but Rhodes possesses the pow
er and ability to shape the destiny Of
South Africa. The son Of a minister
sent to South Africa to improve his
health he has added within a few
years an empire to England's territory
and has become the modern colossus of
Rhodes.
The surprising growth of British
South Africa is due largely to the eff
forts Of this one man, the organizer
and manager of the Imperial British
South African Company. The career
of Rhodes has been meteoric. Proba-
bly, no Englishman since Sir Francis
Drake sailed round the globe with the

When Lord Randolph Churchill was

MAKE FINE WAX FROM OIL.

Residual Oil from I11uminants Makes
Article Superior to Honey comb.
The busy little bee was long ago
cheated out of his monopoly in the
honey making business by artificial
honey manufacturers. Now he Is left
to improve the shining hour as best he
may, for his corner on wax Is rapidly
slipping away from him. Paraffin, a
product of crude petroleum, is taking
the place Of beeswaX in commerce very
largely, and half the "waX" candles Of
to-day are of pure paraffin and never

Whiting, Ind, just over the southern
line of Chicago, Is the place where
this wonderful wax is made. Cleve-
land, Ohio, has a paraffin works, but
it is only a small affair compared to
the Whiting plant. The paraflin works
are quite distinct and apart from the

front-and is quite a large plant in it.

vices of expert chemists and by their
skill, combined with continual work,
this ropy, dark stream becomes a
thing of beauty.
A parallel could easily be drawn be-
tween the paraffin works and a bee
hive, only instead of one building there
were many, each under its own man

verting this worthless looking refuse

A more interesting process cannot be
