SENATOR MORGAN

 for Congressman Burnett

United States Senator John T. Morgan, who is spending a few days with his old time friend. Maj. Joseph Harde, on the South Highlands, in an interview with an Age-Herald reporter last night, spoke in the highest praise of Representative John L. gress, and bespoke for him the earnest sup port of every good Democrat in the Seventh District in the November election.
 Senator Morgan is looking we'll and says go to Opelika Monday to be present at the street fair in that city. Wednesday he will speak in behalf of Bryan and Stevenson and Burnett at Fort Payne and on Thursday he will be in Cullman to address the voters.
 In referring to the work of MT. Burnett in Congress, Senator Morgan said:
 MT. Burnett is a very dligent earnest, honest and conscientious representative. Nobody looks after the interests of his con stituents better than he. He has stood with the Democratic party in Congress without any fencing giving way as to his convic- tions as to party principles. I think no man deserves to be trusted with the confidence of his people more than he.
 q do not remember that he has given an expression on the administration's policy as to the Philippines or Porto Rico, or on the financial bill. He took the ground the Dem- ocratic party unanimously agreed to. re- gard him as true and steadfast Demo- crat.

RATES ON FLOWS
 ARE ADJUSTED
Flying Time to Dallas and the Vest Memphis Roads
 Officials Coming

The Southeastern Mississippi Valley Freight Association, which was in session in St. Louis this week. adjusted the rates on blows from the Birmingham district, thus putting the blow works at Ensley on a basis that will enable them to compete with the blow works in other cities in the Southern territory. The rate was also fixed on the raw material that is used in the manufacture of blows. These rates are so fixed as to put this district on an equal footing with other cities in the South that have blow factories.
 George H. Smith, general passenger agent of the Queen and Crescent lines south of Meridian, has issued a circular announcing the new fast schedule to Texas points to be inaugurated by the road on Sunday, Oc- tober 2s, full details. of which the Age Herald published weeks ago.

NJ. t Goodwin

In When We Were Twenty-one," which Mr. N. c. Goodwin and Miss Maxine El- liott will present at the Jefferson Theatre next Wednesday, there is shown a decided advance In the art of these distinguished associates MT. Goodwin's subtlety, his grasp of all the details of his profession, his knowledge of the value of situation, and his well known liking for quiet but effective "curtains," were never better ex- empified than in his characterization of Richard Carewe, the hero of MT. Esmond s play. Miss Elliott shows some new de- lights and the great possibilities of. her histrionism as the lovable, wide-awake heroine, Phyllis Eriscon. Both conceptions are as clear cut as cameos. As Is known the play has been notably successful It will of course be presented here with the same elaboration of detail that character ized it's prolonged New York run.

From Shakespeare to Modern Comedy

Charles B. Hanford's present tour, which includes an engagement in this city at the Jefferson Theatre on next Friday, is in some respects the most notable of his career. Trained to tragedy from the very first time he set foot on the boards, he has suddenly switched into a comedy drama of the most modern type, and with such success as to demonstrate the fact that a man who knows his Shakespeare knows human nature as well as books can teach it. It proves the adage that men, however remotely separated by geographic distances or intervals of time are all of one family; animated by the same ambition, loves and hatreds and thrilled by the same pleas ures. Private John Allen" Hanford's new character, is no less a hero in his time and community than Mare Antony was in his

A Trick of Indian Thieves.

In some of the thieves schools in In
dia regular course of training is
gone through in the art of ''pouching,"

published in Calcutta, thus describes
the process:
".At first Il small piece of lead, at
tachcd to a thread, is swallowed and
sliided by the action of the tongue to
the oritice of the sac in the throat. AS
soon as this has been thoroughly learn
ed the lead is coated with lime. This
eats into the sac and enlargcs it. The
