Edward Box, writing in Ladies' Home
Journal, on "A Boy for Husband, \
contends that mo young man, under
rs years Of age Is in any sense compe-
tent to take unto himself wife, Be-
fore that age heis simply boy who has
absolutely nothing which he can offer
to girl as safe foundation for life
happiness. He is uniformed in his char
acter, unsettled In his ideas, absolutely
ignorant Of the first essentials of what
consideration or love for woman
means. He doesn't know himself, let
alone knowing woman. He is full Of
fancies, and il is his boyish nature to
fit from one fancy to another. He is
incapable of the affection upon which
love is based. because he has not lived
long enough to know what the feeling
or even the word means. He Is full Of
theories. each one of which, when he
comes to put it into practice, will fail.
lie Is boy, pure and simple, passing
through that trying period through
which every boy must pass before he
becomes man. But that period is not
the marrying time. For as his opinions
OF life are 10 change. SO are his fancies
Of the girl he esteems as the only girl
n the world to make him happy. The
man of 30 rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he was 90"

INCONSISTENT.

The Marcum crowd from this
place ought to agree upon some
sort of tale that has the virtue
of Inconsistency ifnot Of entire truth.
Yesterday they claimed that unles
another proxy was sent Marcum
would be defeated. The proxy
was not sent and Marcun was
therefore beaten in the temporary
organization.
After boiling the convention
they claimed majority Of all the
delegates. Maiorities never walk
out Of conventions, but stay in and
let the minority do the walking.
1t is a good deal more reasonable
TO suppose the Wolverton men
were in the majority and would
therefore control the convention,
and the minority not willing to
accept defeat determined to bolt.
AT Kansas City the regular organ
ization will have much the advan-
tage, and the committee on Gre
dentials will not bea likely to rec
nize a crowd Of disgruntled bolt
ers.

BEAUTY's GRAvEsT FOE.
An Ill Temper Is Always sure to Ruin
the Beauty of Those Who
Yield to IT,

Bad tempers and worry will trace

lotions can wash out in years faith
full application. Physicians assert
that an immense amount of nerve
force is expended In every fit of-bad
temper; that when one little part of
the nervous system gets wrong the
face first records it. The eyes begin
losing the luster of youth, muscles
become fabby, the skin refuses to
contract accordingly, and the inev-
liable result is wrinkles, femininity's
fercest and most insidious foe. There
is no use attempting to reason with
q woman about the evil effects of ill
temper while she is in an ugly mood.
She knows perfectly well that it Is bad
form; that it sayors of the coarse
and underbred; that it is weak and
belittling and immoral, and that it
hurts her cause to lose her temper.
But she does not stop at just that
time to think about it, and to remind
her of the fact only adds fuel to the
flames, writes Adele Z. Shaw, In Wom-
ans Home Companion.
But when she is cool and serene
and at peace with the world, If you
can convince her that each fit of tenn
per adds year to her age by weak
ening her mental force and by trac-
ing crow-tracks about her eyes and
telltale lines around her mouth, she
will probably think twice before again
herself. For no matter
what she asserts to the contrary,
woman prizes youth and beauty above
every other gift the gods hold 1t In
their power to bestow upon mortals.

MT. AIdrich's Consular College.

MT. Aldrieh's effort to inject the English class system into the civil and consular service will scarcely be adopted just be- fore q presidential campaign. He wants congress to name a commission of seven, to be headed by the secretary of state, the seven to formulate plan for establish- ing a college in Washington in which young men and young women will be lodged, fed clothed and educated at government ex- pense in order that life places in the civil. diplomatic and consular services may be bestowed upon them. This plan does not even present the merit of freedom from politics and the spells system, for appoint ments to the proposed college are to be made by congressman or by the president It would in fact rob the civil service of its merit feature. handing over all appoint ments to politicians to be placed where they will do the politicians the most good
 Mir. Aldrieh's class college and politicians paradise will have to wait. The country is not prepared to accept an official class as a fixed and permanent institution. It is not prepared to abolish the merit system in the civil service, although President Me kinley has reduced it to a minimum. It is not prepared to lodge, feed, clothe and educate a few at the expense of the many especially when there is no lack of skill and capacity for the places that Mr. AL 1riIh'S ha ,fa MT. Aldrich should design something more in harmony with the spirit and essence of our institutions. His college does not hold out equal privileges for all. It is for the few at the expense Of the many. He should forget his party and it's class tendencies, and plan something on broad democratic lines.

History Making in the Senate.

In the historic debate in the senate in which imperialism and colonialism are openly and shameessly advocated by such administration leaders as Senator Spooner it is to the credit of Alabama that she is represented by two masters of law and logic. John T. Morgan and Edmund ". Pettus are at home in such a debate They are both profound constitutional lawyers. and they are in the thickest of the fray. Without intending disrespect to sister states in this section of the country, it can be said that upon Alabama's two senators rest the southern honors in this great debate They are the best-equipped constitutional law yers that the cotton states have a present in the senate.
 Whatever the voting may be over the Payne-Foraker bill to change the republic into an empire, and to establish colonial system, Alabama will at least have the sat- isfaction of knowing that she sent into the senate two men who were capable of meet ing the issue, and who faithfully stood to their work, and did all that two men could do to stay the tide that is threatening to subvert the republic They are doing day in and day out all they can to make the

President Kruger alone is left in n position of esteem and power to conduct tbe war to an end, and he is a man who has passed the allotted term of life. Of tbo three who have been taken from the thick of the struggle, Joubert stood highest in popular respect. Even those Boers who thought Kruger had an eye first to his own pocket never doubted Jouberts integrity or patriotism or cal aclty.

T0mIinson for Governor.

But two weeks remain before the primary election to name democratic candidates for state and county officers and a United States senator. In the contest for state atorship, Jefferson county will play a con- spcuous part. The next governor will in all probability, be Jefferson county man. The best indications at the present time are that John ". Tomlinson, in his contest for governor, will carry Jefferson county over his opponents by large plurality. Going into the state convention with thirty votes from this county, and with the votes which he is sure to carry MT. Tomlinson will be In a splendid position to obtain the gubernatorial nomination. And nomina- ton means an election.
 Though young man. MT. Tomlinson has for fifteen years been an active worker in the democratic ranks. Four years ago in the national contest he was perhaps the most conspicuous leader in the state. He also performed splendid service throughout the west and the northwest in the national campaign. By virtue of this work he was made chairman of the national democratic bi-metallic committed. His selection was unanimous. He has made a name for him. self abroad, as we'll as at home. in party councils. As man he is able and true In private business affairs he has been sue cessful. In public office he will prove as careful and conscientious in the peoples in- terests as he has been in private affairs in his own
 With this and other counties behind him in the state convention there is no good reason why John ". Tomlinson should not be the democratic nominee for governor of Alabama Such decision the part of the democratic convention would not only be gratifying to the great mass of demo- crats and business men of this state, but to the democracy of the country at large.

He has some mistakes to shoulder, as in- deed any officer has who contends daily with q foe of superior strength. It was he who led the assault upon the defences of Ladysmith, resulting in the heaviest single loss and heaviest single disappointment that the Boers encountered in Natal. It was in fact their Waterloo in that province. for 1t determined that Ladysmith could not be taken, and that the days of aggressive warfare on the part of the Boers were numbered. Their retreat from Natal must have been foreseen by Joubert from that ill-fated day,

Flowers and Music in May,

The beauty of the floral parade Of last year is still recalled and the people of this district at least will be disappointed if the beauty found in blossoms of the sea- son is not joined to the beauty that fine music discloses. The two go naturally and properly together.
 The women of Nashville, headed by Mrs Benton MoMilln, are preparing to have floral parade in May. It is an annual and expected event in that city. Committees have been appointed on out-of town traps, on children's traps, and traps in the various sections of the town. A queen is to be elected, and all in all a floral parade is to be organized that will be ioy to the eye In Nashville. It Is expected and the expectation is to be met.
 So it should be in Birmingham, A fine floral parade would be a fine aecompany- ment of a fine music festival. It might Head on to floral decorations of the town generally, as Is the case in German and other European towns during a season of music. It should always be remembered that such re1efs from the utffftarian spirit or the age are very welcome to, and very lasting in their impressions upon youthful minds. If for no other reason there should be q floral parade for the children's sake. They should be taught to love the beautiful dn nature. They should be taught the meaning of flowers.
 But there are other reasons of a more selfish and worldly nature. A repetition of the floral parade would this year attract hither thousands of people, The beauty os such parade was not widely known las, year; this year it is, and thousands would come here to SC it where hundreds came last year. Let us have a. floral parade. The initiative at least depends upon the women, and perhaps the execution of fine plan also. Certainly it's initiative does and no woman should be backward when the beautiful is to be presented and made good to all.

THE ONLY u.Ily NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
The Aqe-HeraId Leads.

Printers Ink, the well-known advertis- ing journal of New York, which is ae cepted as the standard for this country. in an editorial article on Sunday News papers," in it's issue of March 2Sth, has the following in regard to Alabama news papers:
 "In Alabama the Birmingham Age- Herald is entitled to first consideration from dts accepted actual issue of 6,8S4 tn 1899, ,ohile the Mobile Register and Montgomery Advertiser, both reliable substdntiat mediums, aoith q strong pro- pensity for claiming more and c son,e- a0hat persistent reputation for aoithhold- ing definite information, are rated, the former iUith an estimated issue in excess of 2,25O copies, and the latter in ercess of 4,000. The AdUertiser in 1894 ,sho,oed q smallest issue of 5,700 and the Register in 1887 had daity aUerage of 4,677. There is nothing iater in detaa rom eethef pGper. The Directory re- ports seem to indicate that the output of the Register and -Adrerttser combined mag not noD erceed that of the Age Herald. D
 
 The Age4Ierald does not, as a rule, in- dulSe in blowing and boasting of its eir- eulation. It is striving for a daily crcula- tion of 25,000 and when thIs point is reached, which should be within the next twelve months, then The Age!Herald will be at liberty to feel proud of itself. In the meantime, it Is gratifying to The Age Herald to make acknowledgment of the above purely voluntary statement on the part of Printers Ink.
