A LABEL FOR LOBBYISTS.

-HE bill requiring lobbyists to wear Il label
NJ or q badge has made stir In the Massa-
CuO chusetts Legislature. We suppose 1t Is
Intended that the label shall mark their
10 business, shall notify members OF their
presence and shall let supplemented peo-
pie know what parties may have dealings with
them.
II will b . very handy thing.
We can make two suggestions Firstly. the
lobbyists ought to be required to wear the label
oil the time. not only when they are hanging
around the State House. but also when they are
lettering In hotels, walking the streets. or at
tending banquets. or holding intercourse with
uembers anywhere. An amendment to this effect
would be useful
In the second place, the label ought not merely
u have the word Lobbyist" on 1t. but ought 20
bear the names Of the corporations or interests
In whose behalf the lobbyist Hobbies. This nfOr-
nation would be interesting and valuable; II
would clear up matters wonderfully and would
entertain outsiders
Suppose. for instance. that Lou Payn, Of Al
bany and others OF his kidney were required to
wear such label In front. wouldn't Gov. Roose-
welt like u!

Thirty-nine days until the gates to the Alabama State Fair will be opened to the public
 All the buildings now under construction will be completed by the end of next week and turned over to the directors. The plac- ing of exhibits will begin immediately thereafter, and before the day for the open ing of the fair everything will be in readi- ness for the thousands of visitors that are expected to be present.

The laboring people are taking great interest in the fair and do- ing good work in the promotion of its in tereSts.

GREAT EXHIBITION
 IN BIG BIRMINGHAM
Banker Steiner Cordially Approves Suggestion--- Thinks it Should
 Be Confined to Metals.

B. Steiner head of the banking house of Steiner Brothers, heartily endorses the Age-Herald's suggestion that great exhi- bition be held in Birmingham, but he thinks five years too long to put it off. In an interview with an Age-Herald reporter yesterday he said:
 T think the idea for a great exposition in Birmingham a good one, but it should be held in two or three years, and should be confined mostly to displays of minerals, mining products, iron and all the products of iron, and machinery. Tn other words, it should be strictly a mineral and machin- cry exposition. My judgment is that the people are tired of general expositions and would more liberally patronize and appre- ciate a speciality.
 ''In order to make a success of It, how ever, the matter must be placed in the hands of strong manager with a good board of advisers. The matter should be taken up at once.
The age-herald., 1900-10-03

"The Age Herald deserves great credit for its enterprise in suggesting and urging the holding of such an exposition. If any thing is to be done a corporation will have to be formed very soon to take charge of the preliminaries connected with great exposition, especially the selection of To- cation. The securing of a suitable loca- tion, l fear, will be the great question here. The site of the exposition will have to be where plenty of water can be had, and convenient to railroad tracks, car lines, and must be large enough to accommodate all Of the exhibits that may be offered"
 Dr. John s. Gillespy, clerk of the City Court, said:
 "I think an exhibition in 1905 would be great thing for Birmingham. can see no objection to it, and think it would do the town good in every way"
 George B. Tarrant said: "I think an ex- hibition in 1905 would be a good thing for Birmingham. By that time I should say that there would be enough hotels here to easily take care of the crowds"

A PLANT POISON
 KILLED ONE MAN
Paul Nolan Went Fishing and Was Poisoned by Some
 Unknown Plant.

Blood poisoning in peculir circumstances caused the death of Paul Nolan on the Southside yesterday.
 Nolan was stalwart young man of 2S. and worked at the Birmingham rolling mill. He took advantage of a holiday to go fishing several weeks ago. On the water side he came into contact with some pol sonous weed or vine which greatly irri- tated his skin and caused swelling. In a short time blood poisoning developed and dcfied medical treatment. He fingered i'll and suffered greatly until death came.
 The young mans funeral will take place from the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows today, and interment will take place in the Catholic cemetery. Rev. Father Meurey will conduct the services.

WRAPPED IN KERNELS.
Blessings Bound Up in the Little Particles of
 Grape-Nuts.


 An employe in the pension office ea Washington, J. R. Weathers, says regard ing food; For thirty years I have been brain worker. Originally I inherited a good physical organism, and this reserve of life force carried me through upwarss Of twenty years of ambitious work as a professional teacher.
 "Ten years ago turned from that vo- cation to the present occupation. Here again was mental work and sedentary habits, which, coupled with poorly selected food. finally set up indigestion, constipa- ton, liver trouble, brain flag and loss of mental power. Nervousness marked me for torture. and for years the afflictions in- creased. I spent hundreds of dollars in vain efforts to find a cure.
 "Finally I quit all drugs and took up Grape-Nuts, which had heard of as food for the brain and nerve centers. After giving the food fair trial found it was not necessary to give up my occupation. but have been able to keep right along and do more work. while the result has been marvellous. My anxiety is gone, work is pleasure and am new man through out The wonderful blessings wrapped up in the toothsonne little kernels of Grape Nuts can be extracted by any one who wishes to repair the waste and wear of brain and nerye.

Sarrows Satan


 Marie CoreHi, one of the most widely read Of living English uovelists, accomplished, no matter what critics may think of her as "a writer, wonderful good for thousands Of doubting and troubled people when, in her Romance of Two Worlds" she brought them comfort and guidance by picturing Deity who is all love. Now she has per- formed an almost equal kindness by going ito the other extremity of the unknown, down into that hades where Dante visited, and, in her Sorrows of Satan," bringing on the earth devil who is all remorse. The old idea, universal in the dark ages, of a personal and an ever present devil, de- lighting in evil, laughing with fiendish slee as he thrusts farther into the flames of hell every newly lost soul, has somewhat lost flavor of late But, until the appearance Of Miss Corellis book, no one had the imagin- ption or the courage to propound new theory to take the place of the one that taught the existence of the maligant thing of evil. That her original and impressive theory has found favor is shown by the facts that in America alone the book has had a sale exceeding million copies, and that it has been translated into not only all the languages of Europe, but also into many of the dialects of India and Hindus- tan. This success as novel has been fol- lowed by the equal success in England of its dramatic form, the American produc- tion of which, owned by William A. Brady, will be seen for the first time here tonight at the Jefferson Theatre. .s---
 The play is still being successfully played throughout the English provinces after an emphatic hit at the Shaftsbury Theatre, London, and it is entirely probable that of the million who have read the book in this country at least one-half will have wit messed the play before the close of the present season.
