THE SITUATION IS
 BEING DISCUSSED
Candidates for Delegate to Con- StitutionaI Convention Are
 Slow in Offering

The publication in the Age-Herald yes- terday of the list of candidates for the Democratic nomination for delegates from Jefferson County to the State con stitutional convention set the politicians to discussing the situation and the prob able outcome of the primary election to be held next Saturday. The county will be entitled to seven delegates in the con- stitutional convention-one from the Sen atorial district and six from the county, the latter to be selected by the county convention. Up to the present time the names of only six candidates have been announced, but it is presumed that there will be a number of others in the field before the convention meets next Thurs day.
 The close of the Legislature and the re- turn of the Representatives and the poli- ticians from Montgomery has added new interest to the campaign.
 The polls at the larger seats will open at o'clock Saturday morning and close at o'clock in the afternoon.

AMUSEMENT IS.
"The Burqomas aster."

The two leading comedy roles of ''The Burgomaster," by name Peter Stuyve- sant and his secretary, Doodle Won Kull are characters of historical fame and the wooden leg that Peter Stuyvesant wears is one of the historical links between New Amsterdam and the comedy. MT. Pix ley, the librettist, took the leg along with the name and left the rest of Peter Stuy- vesant pretty well alone. He has put himself on record as dealing with history only as he saw fit, never proposeing to be hampered with where the question of amusing an audience was In the way.
 In reality, the Dutch Governor made more of his artificial prop than the de- ficent person of today, who has the aid of long trousers for concealment. Peters leg was of ebony and decorated with sil- yer bands. Furthermore, he used to dance in the minuet partly because he wanted to and also to confound the impression that wooden-legged men should be barred on such an occasion. His name, Peter the Headstrong," Is an indication of what he might do with Dutch etiquette, anoth- CT point industriously taken advantage of by the author. which naturally leaves but little to the imagination of what the patrons of the Jefferson Theatre, next Wednesday, matinee and night, can ex- Dect.

History of the Order.

The Eastern Star was founded by the late Robert Morris of Kentucky, the dis tinguished poet laureate of Masonry. It is, as the learned Mackey would say, all androgynous order, made up of men and women. All master Masons and the wives, daughters, sisters and perhaps oth- CT relations are eligible to membership. The women predominate and control the affairs of the order.
 The Eastern Star is growing rapidly in the United States, the membership num- bering now over 100000. There are over 5000 local chapters. Bodies are being planted in the American colonies and in Canada.
 Mrs. Salter, the grand worthy matron of Alabama, is the present worthy matron of Adah Chapter of this city.
