 As to Mr. Bradley's knowledge of cook cry, it Is known to many that the popu- lar clerk of the Criminal Court is one of the best cooks in Jefferson County. His fried chicken, cornbread, bacon and greens are said to equal the creations of the best of the cooks of old plantation days, whilst his biscuits are said to be perfect. His "camp' near Morris Is the unpretentious seat of a most delightful hospitality, as a hundred Birmingham men are prepared to bear witness. More over, they will bear witness that John Bradley is the best of good fellows.

The Vice President at Home.
From the Boston Herald.


 It would have been naturally expected that Vtce-President Roosevelt should join the Presidential party. and he would have made an important figure there in the public interest. He was probably invited to attend. but did not care to go. It is only Justice to MT. Roosevelt to say that in his present office he has borne himself with less disposition to challenge the at- tention of the public than he had in the months and perhaps years that preceded his election. A gentleman who Is a good judge of men wrote us. after hearting the Vice Presidents speech in this city on the Home Market Club occasion. that he rec ognized more of the Roosevelt that used to be, both in its words and the bearing of it's author, than he had for some time previously. This is a wise course on the vice-President's part. and 1t deserves to be recognized and commented. Theodore Roosevelt began life as a man of excell lent impulses and patriotic intentions. If he desires to commend himself as a can didate for the Presidency. he is more like ly to succeed on this line than in sky rockety splurges or attempting to win fa- vor with class of politicians with whom he has no native affinity.

AIabama's Splendid Troops.


 There are now more than 5000 we'll equipped and well-trained men in the Ala bama National Guard, and the troops were never before in such good spirits and excellent general condition" said Adju- tant-General W. w. Brandon yester- day.
 Colonel Brandon came 10 Birmingham yesterday forenoon from Ft Deposit, where he inspected the local company Friday night. He found that company n fine condition. Fifty men turned out for the adjutant-generaps inspection. Cap tain Dayton Plaster, commanding the company, reported his men as being most earnest and zealous in their military work.
 T have made a partial inspection of the three regiments, and I shall proceed as quickly as I can to a thorough inspection by companies" continued Colonel Bran don. T am more than pleased with the condition of the troops; I am gratified, I might say almost surprised, at the eff ficiency and high standard and the good spirit everywhere displayed. The state now has nearly double as many troops as It ever had before, and their condition is far better. They are splendidly equipped and well-drilled and are dominated by the true spirit of the citizen soldiery. All of this is extremely gratifying to me, and I am sure 1t will be to all the people of the state. I may add, found the Br- mingham companies in most admirable condition when inspected them last week."
 Colonel Brandon proceeded last night to his home in Tuscaloosa, where he will spend Sunday.

Feasts That Gave Joy.

A one-time bon Viyant said last night:
 ''The demolition of Paul's old cafe place in Nineteenth street brings afresh to the minds of many of us many happy mem- ories, delightful recollections of glad hours spent over the walnuts and the wine in days long past, when the world seemed different and perhaps was differ ent. At any rate 1t was younger and walnuts and wine were more digestible, even moro palatable, than now maybe.
 "The private feast rooms were upstairs over the main meeting place of the hun gr.s public. In the corner room on the street and alley a few of us were wont to gather every Sunday afternoon for a quiet little feast. There were just a few of us-just few as the round and jolly and happy landlord used to say in bursts of geniality and contentment. The num- Der was four, to be precise, and no hap pier four men ever foregathered for feasting. The usual hour was 4, and we called the meal dinner. And so 1t was, and the best dinner ever eaten since old Lucullus invented dinners. There weren't many courses, never more than five, in- cluding the unsurpassable soup with powdered cheese floating upon it; and the macaroni. so cooked as to make fit dish for gods! The capon-well, there was never any other capon quite equal to that; every Sundays fowl was as large as a turkey. And there were apple dumplings that melted in the mouth in the most delicious imaginable way.
 "The wines-I'll not undertake to say how many different kinds-were direct importations from far Italy, whither one of us was in the soon time to journey for joy. We certainly had the renowned Lachrymae Christi, the rich. sweet, red Neapolitan wine, a sort of red champagne, but better than any real champagne ever drunk; and there was white wine every drop of which made one an hour younger; though there was one of the four who drank nothing.
 '"The landlord was the host on all these occasions. and he was simply princely. He would lean back in his big chair and sip his wine and roll 1t under his tongue with the true connoisseur's art and apprecia- tion; and he'd wink, and then he'd laugh, and then he'd say with exquisite unction:
 " Just few of us left-just a fewp
 AHu so lHe Hdppy hours sped. Ana what is written describes the last of those dear dinners. It was enjoyed on the first Sunday afternoon in July, 1893. One of the four had received orders to cross the sea in the service of the government, and it was farewell from the faithful three to the faithful fourth. It was covenanted that the traveller should at the moment of landing in Europe cable the fact to the others; and that was his first act after setting foot upon the far shore. Arrived safe was the message, sent to the land- lord, and when he received 1t he immed- lately summoned the other two. By pre- arrangement, and making calculation as to difference in time. two of the three in Birmingham and one far away at tho precise moment drank to one another in the red wine of Naples-even the Lachrymae Christi"

His Political Life.
Annapolis, Md, March 6.-The> eve
of what promises to be one of the
most important sessions of the gen.
eral assembly, ever held in this state
finds the ancient capital of Maryland
crowded with prominent political
leaders from all sections Of Maryland,
Chief among them is Former United
States Senator German, who arrived
during the day He will direct: the
fight which is generally believed will
result either in his ultimate return to
the United States senate or. his final
retirement from state and national
politics. The Republicans are pre-
pared for a bitter contest under the
leadership of United States Senator
McComas. The bill to amend the
election laws so as to prevent illit-
crates from casting their ballots is
the principal object for which the
special session was called. 1t will
provide that the names of the various
candidates shall be so arranged on the
ballot that no one who cannot read
and write will be able to cast his bal
lot intelligently. +,
The effect of this measure, if passed,
would be to practically disfranchise
about 80 per cent of the $4,000 colored
voters of the state and make Dem
ocratic legislature next year almost
a certainty. The Democrats, how
ever. have but a bare constitutional
majority in the senate and are visibly
uneasy lest the bill fail of passage.

boring for oil. R. C. Barnard, repre-
senting the company, has since been
in this locality, and, while his obser-
vations have not been made public to
any great extent, yet enough has been
given out to assure citizens that in a
short time the company, backed by a
capital of 100000, will send men
here to prospect and make tests. The
exact location upon which the COM
pany has it's business eye is not
known, but is believed to be some
where near this city. Evidences of
petroleum is found in many places
and the water in several small springs
and streams is coated with oily sub

Washington, March 8.-Such reports
as reach here from Picking indicate
that the state. department by no
means underestimate the difficulties
that would be experienced in reaching
an 2agreeme emit between the foreign
ministers respecting the amount of
indennities to be levied upon the Chi
nese government and the method of
collection. Special Commissioner
Rockhill is doing all he can do to re-
strain the demands of the powers to a
sum total that will be within. the abil-
ity Of the Chinese government to meet
without the destruction of the dynasty
and an upheaval that would result in
the loss of much territory by China
It appears, however, that the demands
in their present shape are of an enor-
nous character and grave difficulty is
anticipated in securing an ameliora-
ton of the demands. It will not be
surprising if it should become neces-
sary for the powers sincerely DESTROYS

dress themselves directly to the, for

was done in the case of the punish
ment section of the agreement in the
hope that they may instruct their

from those they are now pursuing.
