81. Louis Exposition. September 18th
to October 10Th, 1900.

W ONtVpoh Avtus AgOOs
The st. Louis annual exposition,
which is longer lived than any exposl-
ton in the country, will celebrate its
seventeenth birthday on September IL.
On that day the doors will open on
as magnificent a display Of the art,
science and industry Of the age as was
ever gathered under one roof. Happily
mixed with It will be excellent enter
tainment for everybody.
From the portals on the south TO
those on the north OF the building the
immense space will be stocked with OK
traordlnary attractions, and In securing
them money has been expended with O
liberal hand.
The airship, the greatest invention Of
the century, will be displayed In the
Coliseum. Two flying machines will
each make four ascenslons a day and be
on exhibition the rest Of the time.
An immense electric prismatic foun-
tain with living statues in the center.
promises to be the most brilliant spec
tacle ever placed In the big hall. The
wonderful effects Of the colored electric
lights on the water make this seem from
fairyland itself.
The great feature Of the art galleries
will be the Tissot collection of $50
paintings illustrating the life Of Christ.
The exposition management has labored
hard and spared no cost to secure this
wonderful collection Of paintings which
gives expression toa religious sentiment
OF the highest character.
or these paintings Archbishop Cor
rigan said: II know in art nothing
more beautiful or better fitted to i'm

Tribune said: I'VE are awed by the
divinity interpreted In these remarkable
works of art" Rev, Newell Dwight
Hills said; "He has unveiled the Christ
as q genial, radiant figure, the most
lovable person In hi.tory." Rev. War

has produced the greatest biography Of

SO strongly did the religious feeling
of Tissot's work appeal TO Rev. DR..

Thirty Panels Filled.

The 100 has exhausted for the present it's brain tissue in the selection of fifty great American names. It has selected thirty, with twenty to get when it can collect anew and re-eEergize it's intellectuals.
 It's action is best exemplified in two ot its acts. namely, the turning down of Ed Ear Alan Poe and leaving Walt. Whitman altogether unnotlced, although these two poets will one hundred years from now be recognized as the two great poets of America as Byron and Shakespeare are of the motherland. This is offense No. l. ofense No consists in the defeat of Horace Greeley, while the solemn asses cast 2l votes for Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was accustomed at the table to sling dishes in a free, off-hand manner when they did not suit his canal-boat taste. The selection of an unknown painter, William Morris Hunt, when Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Madison and Justice Wilson, who so largely wrote the Federal Constitution, and Andrew Jack son, who conquered Florida and the United States Bank. not to mention a score more, were ignored, sufficiently illustrates the bias of the senate that has come upon us unawares It has endeavored to cover the ground, and in doing SD it has neglected names that will shine without tablets as long as the Republic stands Does any one think Stonewall Jackson will be forgotten in the North or in the South? The eXcep- tions are numerous. There are ten names in the lisi of thirty that would not have been endorsed in popular vote, namely, Washington Irving, George Peabody, Peter Cooper, James Kent, Jospeh Story, John James Audubon, William Morris Hunt, Gill bert Stuart, Asa Gray and William Ellery Charming. Charming was an Unitarian preacher one of New England's 400. Pea body lived and died in London. However, no harm is done, but a list that omits the names of Andrew Jackson and puts in the name of William Ellery Charming, scarcely represents the great Americans outside of New England. Sixteen of the thirty names selected were born in that part of the coun

Our Birmingham Schools.

When citizens come together irrespective of party, class or locality, and demand ad- ditional school room of an appropriate sort, it is sign of corporate health and vigor. It shows that the children hay rights that all are bound to respect. l shows that all have faith in the future greatness of the city
 But while no one would be hurt by a de- lay in the construction of city hall except hanfful of city officials. whose pride may be pardonable but is not material, yet in the case of school buildings delay does hurt Every day of schooling taken from d child's life dwarfs that life and hurts the city and state and country. That child can not recall one of it's too brief days for school attendance, and hundreds of such little lives in this city are shut out of school by the want of proper buildings. Let us then have as little delay in the con- struction of the proposed school buildings as is possible.
 The sentiment of the city is practically unanimous that buildings which will serve at least generation should be erected. It is not economy to put up building that must be torn down and replaced in ten years. Build for a generation at least Buildings like the Henley or Powell will serve hundred years, and there is money saved in putting up substantial and satis- factory buildings. There is no occasion for extravaganza in such buildings. All that is asked is that the proposed buildings shall be enduring and sanitary in every respect, and adapted to the uses of the children who are the hope and the glory of the town.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
 The Advertiser thinks that Representa- tive Wallace of Madison County will do wise thing when he introduces his bill looking to the purchase by the state of al lthe property in the Capitol block sonth of the line to which the states property extends. The owners will no doubt be willing to take a fair and reasonable price for 1t, and then a handsome executive mansion can be erected in keeping with the dignity and character of our great state As MT. Wallace well says, "a great and splendid state like ours should pro- vide mansion for its executive in order that he might live as becomes the Govern or of Alabama. As it is now, our Govern or is compelled either to board or rent house, and there is place in which he entertain the people state occa- sions." Nearly every state in the Union provides a home for the Governor. and Alabama has too long neglected it's duty in this respect.
 So far the property on the north side of the Capitol is concerneds that belongs to the city, and will always be regarded as part of the capitol grounds, without any expense to the state.

About Fruithurst.

In another column appears card from MT. A. L. Asseldine in which he asserts that Fruithurst is in no sense of the word whitening and that only one family has left He asserts that 1t Is one of the best little towns in the State. It was not the intention of The Age-Heralds editorial of recent date to injure Fruithurst, but to benefit it. Complaint had been made to The Age-He by wine growers that they could not dispose of their products and that one hundred and fifty thousand gal Ions of wine was at present on hand with out market.
 Fruithurst should be one of the most populous towns in East Alabama and MT. Aseldne and all of it's citizens are assured that The Age-Herald is as much interested in it's growth and prosperity as are it's citizens.

Fences Are Coming Down.

In the residence districts of this town the falling fences are treading upon one another's heels, so fast are they coming Gown and wherever a block is cleared all are surprised and gratifed by the change in the general appearance Of the street. Enough have already been taken down to ensure the removal of the remainder.
 Some, however, are placing a low line of curbiug where fences stood. This shows what habit is. The fence habit has bred divisional desires that are difficult to over come Whether these desires say in sub- stance, Keep off," or, This is my lot; be- hold it, it is not easy to say; but all such desires should be overcome. They should De struggled with. They belong to another civilization. These curbings that begin to appear here and there are as hurtful to the park-!ike appearance of district as the sharDsued pickets were that they displaced In the long run such curbings win be carted away and sold.
 The iron fences that so many cherish in this town should be wrapped in camphor and fannels, and laid away in the garret as relics. When they are treated in this way no one will have an unkind word for them, for they will then cease to dlsfgure streets that are capable of much beauty
 This town can be made as beautiful as if is smoky. A little haze is not objection able. Turner always preferred to show his objects of beauty in mist. So may we.

1.-THE DOLLAR OR THE MAN"
Davenport's Cartoons in the New York Jour
 nal Coilc cted Tn Book Form.

A collection of the cartoons of Homer Davenport, collected and edited by Horace l.. Traubel, has just been .ublished by Small Maynard and Company, under the title of "The Dollar or the Man" This is the key note of the present political cam- paign, and on the frontispiece of the book is the following apt quotation from Abra- ham Lincoln: Both the man and the dol lar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.",
 The cartoons now published in book form have appeared from time to time in the New York Journal They have been criti- cised as inartistic and an appeal not to reason but to prejudice. This, however, is too serious a view to take of a cartoon the chief object of which is to present a situation in humorous way. The cartoon has in late years become a great power in journalism, and MT. Davenport's work for the Democratic party has been excelled by none. The book is not only interesting as representing the political issues of the present day, but to the future student it will be ready hand book showing the Democratic thought in 1900.
