ands of children, the joys of thousands Of
homes, were in themselves sufficient to
bless Birmingham; and even the bigot who
bowls most would be less an agent of evil
if he would think of Gods little children
of Birmingham when he have impulse of
bowling! The Pharisees of this valley
might go pray for mercy to themselves as
sinners.
Possibly the little children of Birmingham
who yesterday found pleasure In the world
old story of Puss in Boots are not aware
that this historic phrase was once one of
the influences which for twenty years del
uged in human blood many lands of the
earth. One day more than a hundred years
ago young lieutenant of artillery by name
Napoleon Bonaparte, dressed in his first
uniform and wearing boots that reached al
most to his waist. called on some ladies
in Paris He was very young and very lit
tie, about the size of the smallest youth in
the Birmingham High School. and therefore
he appeared odd in the uniform and tremen-
dous boots of a French officer. His appear
| anse so amused one of the ladies, who was
evidently not kind-hearted or goodman
nered, that she shrieked with laughter, and
| declared that Napoleon Bonaparte remind
ed her of Pus in Boots! The laughter and
the words angered the young officer Bit
terly and he determined that he
would quit society and strive only
to be a great warrior. With the lady's
insult ranking in his heart, he gave HIM
self up entirely to the study of the arts of
war. How he succeeded and how he caused
the death of millions of children, women,
and men, even the little children of Birm-
ingham have been made to understand
Alderman Augustus H. Camp has re-
turned from New York. He is one Birm-
ingham man who didn't do wonders in
fishing whilst on vacation; and he looks as
happy as If he'd never been compelled to
dig bait.
The first-born of Birmingham is Alder
man R. P McNally of the Fifth ward, and
that fact lends special public interest to
his marriage, which occurred in Pensacola
yesterday His bride was Miss Nellie Fari-
mas, and the Rev. Father McCaffery OIL
ciated at the marriage sacrament In st.
MichaeTs church. Mr.. Mentally and Mrs
McNally arrived in Birmingham last night
Mr. McNally was the first manchild born
in what is now the great city of Birming-
ham. The year of his birth was 1871, when
Birmingham was little better than mud
village; and the old Elyton Land Company
presented .ae infant with square of
city property. His coming into the world
was therefore esteemed a great local event,
and his parents received the congratula-
tons of actually every inhabitant. And
so in his marriage there weds the oldest
native citizen of Birmingham, and he is
under thirty years. His eyes opened upon
an obscure village in old cotton fields. His
bride will this morning look out upon a
splendid city, the like of which has never
been elsewhere created within nine and
twenty years
The people of Birmingham have long ac
corded Mr.. Mentally good measure of their
respect and esteem. They will now accord
him cordial congra tula,lons upon his mar
riage.

WORK or THE CHAMBER.

Nine applications for membership were read st the meeting of the chamber of commerce last evening, which shows that the general activity of and good work ac- eompllshed by this body Is receiving full recognition at home as we'll as abroad. The rooms last night, too, were uneoI- fortablv crowded with members, md the committee on permanent quarters were re- auestsd to hurrv up with the report upon the subject. The financial report oi the secretary was also an indication Of the general interest now being taken In the work of the ebamber. and this led to a suggestion that the chamber should erect a building for i,s own use and purposes

sKAowAY's PLUSH TIMES.

ltsan old saying that one must go from home 10 hear the news Of ones own locality, and nobody who accepts this as a trulsm can therefore be sur prised to learn from a Seattle news paper how high the gaamoliug runs ID this city. Not at what arc known as gambling houses, but among the mer- chants and lawyers who simply "sit in to while away an evening. The Seattle newspaper tells Of little game at one Of Skagway's hotels recently, in which the jackpot amounted to sls.00o. Even for Skagway this Is pretty fair sized pot. but when it says that the players were two lawyers. a merchant and a miner, the lawyer element in it throws A pale shadow of doubt upon the whole statement.
 It generally known here that some of our leading lawyers are leaving tor Nome, with the hope Of there finding a more lucrative business in the number ot litigatious that are certain to arise in connection with the stalking ot claims by aliens. the abuse of the power of at' torney, and the stalking and re-staking generally. There Is no judge in Alas kA now to try cases. and no one knows when there will he one. Under the circumstances the fact, fl it be one, that two of our lawyers can afford to sit in a poker game carrying an sls,OOO jackpot Is a measure Of pleasurable surprise.
 The story says tha, the draw alone for this jackpot cost each one of them slsOO. and that the winner opened on two jacks, drew two more and won out against a full house, three aces and a flush. This is one oi those Actions that does nobody any harm. It shows, if it shows anything, that times are Hush in skagway, although it is the brief dull period before the opening of navigation and the crowd swarms iu.
