His Golden Speech.

From London Answers.
 Little Tommy returned, sore and trems bling, from the torture-room.
 Doesn't your paper ever thrash you?'s he asked his chum, who is the son of a cabinet minister.
 q should say not" replied the other, loftily. Every time he threatens to cane me read him an extract form his great peace-at-any-price speech, in which he said: These barbarians are like wayward children; but have we, on that account, the right to take away theirc heaven-sent privilege to do as they please? Let us treat them as we would our own wayward children-plead with them, beseech. them. but never coerce them with either gun oR rod
 '"rhat q good deal to remember," res marked Tommy.
 Yes: but now he's so used to it that he drops the cane as soon as I start.'

A BIC CHORUS FOR
 THE MAY FESTIVAL
More Than Two Hundred Train ed Voices Will Sing
 in Unison

At the first and second Music Festivals the chorus numbered less than 150, but at the third annual festival which will take place May ? and 3, the chorus will be augmented to POO or more singers. MT. Guckenberger, the director, says 1t will be the finest as we'll as largest chorus ever heard in Birmingham. For previous festivals, when the Boston orchestra of only forty pieces supplied the instrument tai music, band of 130 or 40 voices was deemed quite strong enough, but for the next, with the great Thomas orchestra of seventy or more performers playing the accompa niment, the chorus should be rel atively stronger.
 MT. Guckenberger is delighted with the quick response made to his call for ad- ditional singers He has not only enroll ed nearly the POO, but among the new members are some of the most experi- enced professional choir singers of Bir- mingham.
 The next mass rehearsal will be held at Turn Verein Hall, in First avenue, to- morrow night-on the third floor, instead of the fourth, as heretofore-and full turnout is urged. The director says he will probably have over 200 enrolled by that time.
 As the festival is not far off chorus members are requested to attend at least one part rehearsal every week, as well as the Monday night rehearsals. The part practices take place at the Conservatory.
 Tomorrow night the chorus will sing Part II of Elijah and also take up short music drama by Grieg.
 The programmes for the festival will be completed and announced early in March. Mir. Guckenberger has about de- cded on his chorus numbers, while Mir Thomas will select all of the orchestral numbers to be played. Thomas taste in programme making is proverbial and a rich tone banquet is assured.
 The forthcoming festival Is to be more extensively advertised in Alabama, Mis- sippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida than any musical event heretofore held in this part of the country. Hundreds of strangers will be attracted by the Thom- as orchestra and the distinguished vocal artists he is to bring. to say nothing of the famous Birmingham chorus. It will be the most costly festival ever under taken in the South, but MT. Guckenber- ger says he feels confident there will be no deficit.

M. P. MEsSER & co. Now in Their Elegant New Quarters.

M P. Messer & Co. have just received their new furniture, which has been placed in position, and they now have one of the handsomest offices in the city.
 This office, which is admirably located on the southwest corner of Twenty-first street and Third avenue, is probably the most convenient and the handsomest in the city For several weeks past mechan- ics and artesians have been busy at work there. and the place has been entirely remodeled. A handsome large plate glass front has been put in. and large bank vault installed. The interior has been handsomely papered, and the building has been newly painted inside and out. The new fixtures to complete the equip ment of the office, which has been put in, are of golden oak, with marble base and chip beveled glass, surmounted by antique brass wire, and are very expen- sive.
 Messrs. M P. Messer and B. s. Moore, the gentlemen composing this firm, de- serve much credit for establishing such splendid offices, and their enterprise in so doing will doubtless be rewarded by an appreciative public.

 chase By Seaboard.

Brunswick, Ga., February 23.-It is re- ported here today that negotiations are pending for the purchase of the Tallulah Falls Railroad by the seaboard Air Line and eventually resulting in a line from Athens, Ga, to Knoxville, Tenn. The purpose of the new line, it is said, to bring in reach the undeveloped mineral and timber lands of north Georgia, North Carolina and east Tennessee.
 George J. Prentiss of New York, who is considered leading promoter of the undertaking, was here today, but would neither deny nor affirm the rumor.

Increase lnteIIiqence,

From tho Alabama Republican
 The only argument against the bill now before the Legislature making education compulsory is that we are not ready for it. If there ever has been a time in the history of this State when education for the masses was more needed we cannot fix that date. The State is advancing on all lines in material interets and why not make increased intelligence a part of the progressive movement. We have been under the ban of illiteracy long enough. If 1t takes compulsory education to get out from it, then let us have it.

The new building will be of three stories and the machinery of the most modern char acter. They propose to be ready for the new crop of wheat, and having such a mill should be great incentive to farm CTS tc devote much extra acreage to wheat growing this season.

rom the Tuscaloosa Gazette.

From the Tuscaloosa Gazette.
 If the anti-child labor bill had become a law would not the logical sequal of it have been the passage of compulsory educational bill? This latter having passed, the question of the impassable country roads would immediately have practically nullified the compulsory ed- ucational law. So it appears that we must eventually initiate the Romans and build a good system of roads before we can progress as we should is educational and industrial lines.

Scientific MISCELLANY

No historic record shows when the
consultations were mapped out, says
Professor Simon Newcomb, but the
names given indicate that it was in the
heroic age. No map extant gives the
exact placing of the figures by the an
clients, although Ptolemy has designated
as precisely as he could the positions of
particular stars on the supposed body of
each hero, goddess and animal. The fig
ures could not have covered the entire
heavens, and in order that every star
may belong to some constellation, mod
ern astronomers have marked out irreg-
ular patches, each including the entire
figure recognized Of old. The outlines
are still so inexact, however that a sin
gle star may be placed by two astrono-
mers in two considerations. Dr. Gould
has tried to remedy the confusion in the
southern hemisphere by changing the
boundaries of the consultations to
straight lines running east and west and
north and south, but this arrangement
, has the objection that the direction of
the lines will change, owing to preces-
sion. Astronomers generally now recog-
uize eighty-nine consultations in the

thickness of five or six miles of the
Iearth's crust. Any body of ore may have
been left by water in its descent from

that the first deposits were at the lowest

that the later deposits by the descending

this view is confirmed by the experience
