UNIQUE kLoNDlkERs' FEAST.

From a New York Letter.
 Invitations characteristic of the men who have issued them are floating around New York, bidding the recipients to a dinner at the Manmatton Hotel. The diners will be Klondikers past and pros pective. It Is natural that me with nerve enough to go out of the beaten paths to find gold should desert travelled ways In search of food and enjoyment, and cer- tainlv there is no marked trail where these have travelled. The invitation reads this way:
 "The sourdoughs of Nome, Alaska. who have saved enough dust to come out, and the Cheechacos, who are going in this season, will have a pot latch at the Man haitian road house, forks of Madison ave- n,e and Forty second street. on Wednes- day April seventeenth. nineteen nunored and one, that they may become better acquainted and bring about friendly do- in's On this informal occasion Glad Rags will be barred. Receivers, jumpers and knockers strictly excluded" For the information of persons who do
 not know a prospect pan from a clay pigeon some explanation of terms used in the invitation is needed.
 "Scurdough" is Klondike for an old prospector. because wisdom has taught him the experience of always carrying
 little sour dough or leaven to raise the
 next batch c f bread. "Cheechacos'' are tenderfeet. Pot latch" is from the In- dian, meaning a big feed by big chief. It is unnecessary to say what friend ly doin's' and '.glad rags" mean. Re ceivers' are unpopular persons in the gold regions by reason of their appoint ment to take charge of disputed claims.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY
 LAUGHS AT MRS. LOGAN
BY M. 3. s cHRApER.

Washington. April 21.-(special. )-Wash- ady known as ennui. There is always something to amuse and interest the pub lie. Politics. love and social ambition all are given a hearing To be sure the au- dtence Is generally & cold one, composed of those whose residence at the National Capital and whose familiarity with public characters has caused them to feel them selves very ''blase, don't you know" and skeptical. but-they listen and what more can a person want.
 Only last weik Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Gen cral Logan, should say. received great deal more attention than has been her fortune for some time. Mrs. Logan is known here for her love of basking in the glare of the public calcium, and the un- yelling of the bronze statue of the gen. eral, gave her delightful opportunity. All the fashionable world and his wife were there, to say nothing of the unfash- ionables. The President of the United States delivered a hattering address and the band played and things went smooth ly. Mrs. Logan was the heroine of the hour, but alas and aday-some simple minded member of Congress dared to state discovery he had made while at the unveiling, (evidently the band and bouquet throwing personages had not de- prived him of his powers of observa- tion) to-wit. that some of the gentlemen depicted in the panels in the base of the statue had been dead for years before Logan entered the Senate and the others had nothing to do with his taking the oath in the Senate chamber, since they themselves were at the time several years distant from the desired goal.
 The newspaper fraternity laughed itself boarse as did all Washington and deIega- tons were dispatched to the Logan man. sion to know if Mrs. General knew of these crudities of history Her reply only sent Washington Into a 1t of mysteries.
 Certainly" she knew about it. She had chosen the groups herself, not for historical accuracy. but artistic grouping. Accordingly she had selected the most fa-

In such men the metropolis has gained an element of warm-hearted. courtly manhood to uphold American character in that modern Babel.
 It is noteworthy. too, that the West is also contributing more and more to New York's population, and, by the merging of these ambitious and hopeful clements, the great city will be preserved and will gain in power as the strenuously American capital.

The South's Industrial Revolution
BY LYNpE HARRISON.

in it's attitude toward the rest of tn, country.
 That condition of Southern society may be fairly said to have passed away Ths generation that created and perpetuated it has almost vanished from the stage, while the sectional antagonisms and prejudices upon which it fed have faded into history. The purely political South, as it has presented itself to the country in the past, Is no more, while the new industrial South has arisen to take its place Politics, of course, there is and ever will be, but 1t is no longer the one absorbing theme of private and public discussion. The building of railroads, the construction of mills and factories and furnaces, the opening uf mines, the extension of markets, the development of transportation, the improvement of vii. lages. towns and cities, the incorpora. tion of companies to start the machinery of new industries. the reclamation of waste lands. new and varied agricultural pursuits the erection of schools and the more pretentious institutions of learning these are the splendid projects in which the South of the new century Is embark ed.
 The capitalists of the country are be- coming alive to the fact that there is no better field for investments anywhere than may be found in the Southern States. Production costs less than in any other part of the country. Labor of all kinds can support itself in more comfort at smaller compensation than in the climatically less-favored New England and Western States. Taxation is lower, and every industrial enterprise can be carried on under infinitely better sani- tary conditions than in the crowded cen- ters of population. Tn this age of compe- tition these advantages cannot fail to put the South at the front in every line of manufactures for which she supplies the raw material. Her industrial posi- tion is impregnable.

In material progress and industrial de- velopment the entire Southern country is rapidly advancing to a position that will, in the course of very few years, make 1t as fair and prosperous a region as can be found anywhere on earth. Rich in soil, magnificent in climate and with un- surpassed natural resources, the abun- dant capital that is pouring into it, com bined with the newly awakened spirit, energy and aspiration of It's people, is certain to put 1t in the van of human progress.
 There was period when politics. if may so speak, was one of the staple in- dustries of the South. Young men rush. ed into the legal profession as step to public onice in city, town. state and na- tion To get to Washington was the great object of their ambition. Questions of government were almost the sole topics of conversation in the home, the village post ofice around the county court house, in the wayside tavern and wherever men met The country was flooded by the old-time "statesmen" with their speeches. In their way. and to suit the purposes for which they were intended. those fiery addresses wore admirable. Full of con stitutional law and logic, intensely sec tionaL deeply tinsed with local color. fiercely defiant in tone and temper. and fragrant with memories and traditions that appealed irresistibly to a proud and spirited people. these old orations sway ed the thought and opinion of the whole Southern people and diverted their minds from nearly all the practical concerns of life.
 I must not be understood as criticizing in a hostile spirit the South of that day. I am simply stating fact, the truth of which all fair-minded and enlightened Southern men and women will admit to be so. Furthermore. I will say that the political policies of the dominant party in the Union tended to justify the South

Love Finds the Way.

A romantic marriage took place in Maplesville, Chiffon County yesterday as related by railroad passengers who arrived in Birmingham from that flour ishing town last night
 It appears that cards had been issued for the marriage of Miss Sarah Abney of Msplesville to Mr. R. T. Patillo of Autausa County, the ceremony fixed to take place in Maplesville on Wednesday next, April "A. All was in readiness, and delighted expectation ran high. But thers was a sudden change.
 On Saturday morning MT. c. A. Britton, a prosperous young business man of An niston, who had long paid court to Miss Abney, arrived in. Maplcsville and at once called upon the bride-elect. Evidently he pursuaded eloquently, for his persuasion won her. He left her presence in joy and in joy hurried to @ livery stable, where he hired a team and trap and set out at the top of his speed for Clanton. the county seat. Arrived there he hurried to Probate Judge Samuel M. Adams. who remains young of heart and generous to- ward lovers. and of the judge he procured the legal writ to marry Miss Abney.
 With his license MT. Britton sped on to Randolph, Bibb County. and' procured a preacher to perform the ceremony. With the license and the preacher he sped back to Maplesville, and there, on the bright Sunday that was yesterday, MT. Britton and Miss Abney were made husband and wife
 Bridegroom and bride left Maplesville yesterday afternoon for Birmingham, and practically the entire population of the town was at the railroad station to see them depart Great and happy excite ment prevailed. MT. Britton and his lovely bride-she is said to be very beau tifui-will proceed to Anniston this morn ing

 The Other Side as to Saloons.
 "Our places of business are closed for three days on account of the election of Tuesday, and 1t means a very serious loss to us, and works us great injustice as compared with men In other businesses, ,' said the proprietor of fashionable sa- loon yesterday.
 "Our loss of trade by enforced closing Is absolute. We can never recover a dol lar of it, for no man who wants one drink today will buy two drinks when we re- open after the election. Next month there will be another election. and 1t will be the same thing repeated-serious loss of trade In the dry goods and other trades, If people can't buy things they need today they'll buy as soon they can.

and reiterated popular arguments
against the friars He said they were
threatening to renew the abuses of
which they We're guilty under Spanish
rule but he did not think they would be
successful in re-establishing their rule.
BuenCOminO advocated reform in the
Catholic church and dramatically asked
his applauding audience to chose be-
tween the church and the friars or the

advanced professionalism as remedy
for many of the evils of which the peO-
pie complained.
Upon the conclusion of BuencaminOs

ciples. He distributed hymns, which
the audience stood up and sang. Rodg-
