WON HIS WAY
 BY METHODS
That Are BusineSs-L Like, Liberal, SkiIIfuI and DeServing-W.
 s. Brown, Merchant

Every trading man, woman and child in Birmingham and in Jefferson and sur rounding counties knows of MT. w. S. Brown and his large and attractive stores at 2O13-2O15 Second avenue.
 They know, too, that these stores are ever well filled with goods at attractive prices, and with customers from this city and the surrounding country, whose pat ronage has been won by fair and generous dealing on the part of this strong busi- ness house, which is ever ready to meet every requirement. of deserving custo- mers
 MT. w. s. Brown can truly be placed among the pioneer merchants of Birming- ham. for he was here doing live mer- cantile bushes before there was a Bir- mingham having well established house at the old town of Elyton. In the early 7O's he was In partnership with Mr. Wm. Hood in 1876 the. firm of Hood & Brown located on Twentieth street, this city. A few years thereafter they bought the lots and built the stores in which w. s. Brown is now doing business. The firm of Hood and Brown, after a long and successful business career, dissolved in 1882, MT. Brown becoming sole owner of the busi- ness and the valuable store property.
 Through honest, energetic and conserva- tive management, Mr. Brown has been successful in every movement. In the first place he has as his assistants a corps of salesmen and accountants who are loyal to him and to his business in every an nf xxho hax u,if1 him since he began business. They know the wants of customers, and when once the patronage of a man or woman is ob- tained they learn well how to hold them. They know they wants and fill them to perfection.
 No business man In Birmingham stands higher in the estimation of the public than W. S. Brown. Quiet and unosten- tatious, he is yet public spirited, a safe adviser, and one of Birmingham's citi- zens who is a true builder and promoter of public interests. He is large stock holder and a director of the First Ma tional Bank, and his wisdom contributed largely toward guiding that now strong and powerful institution through some dark places. But 1t is w. S. Browns great and growing mercantile business which the Age-Herald desires here to call special attention. This business draws thousands of dollars to Birmingham, which mighc not come this way, but for the energetic and persistent manner in which MT. Brown exercises his business acumen. Let 1t be borne in mind that every buiness man who brings money to Birmingham and here invests 1t is ben efactor to his city.
 MT. Brown is now making a speciality of his wholesale department, and is sup plying country merchants and commissa- ries in Jefferson and seven of the sur rounding counties.
 A visit to the stores and warehouse of W. s. Brown will convince anyone of the soundness of his business methods.

File Off AIIiqators Teeth.

New York Letter in Chicago Tribune.
 A remarkable operation was performed by dozen keepers upon a thirteen-foot alligator, which is kept in the Bronx Zoo. The alligator, which Is a powerful anil nal, had showed signs of ferceness for some time. He wound up one morning by killing an S-foot companion in the same tank. Then it was decided that the big ones teeth should be cut. A rope with a sling was lowered over his head and drawn taut; the tail was similarly treated. Each one of the legs was next secured in a like manner. By patience and repeated trials lasso was got into the ponderous jaw. The alligator gave bite and the rope parted like thread Then a wire rope was secured. This was finally got into place.
 Sticks were pried between the jaws to keep them from clashing together. Thus held the reptile lay helpless and the work of saving off some of the longest and most dangerous teeth was soon accom- plished.

Home Management.

It is hardly necessary to write here of the liberal policy of this company to- ward Birmingham. All of the officers in this department are citizens and tax payers of this city, and are deeply in- terested in all things that go to make up the sum total of Birmingham's great ness. As individuals, they are found ever ready to respond to any call made upon them for the public good, and they take the lofty position that anything that is good for Birmingham is good for the Republic Iron and Steel com pany and those who guide it's destiny.

 All of this is the work of the Republic Iron and Steel company and its prede- cessors. the Pioneer, Mining and Manu- facturing company. All the railroads reaching Birmingham have lines touch ing Thomas, and Birmingham's great street railway system embraces the town with a fifteen minute schedule. so that the city of Birmingham proper is a favored benlfciary of this fiourishing community.

As there are 1900 camps it is plain the line must be drawn some where. Brigades and camps would do we'll to send at their own expense and care young ladies to grace with their presence this notable occasion, and it is believed that many of them will do so.
 The finance committee of the Mem phis reunion has raised $75,000, all of which will be expended in entertain ing the reunion visitors. A large build ing on the bluffs overlooking the river has been erected for the purpose of giving room enough for the sponsors ball. All the preparations are on a noble scale, and there is no intention of sighting any young lady, but it is best that all should understand the situation, and the extent of the re- union committees care and expendi- tures

Mays Music Festival.

The Thomas orchestra alone ought to be considered a fine attraction in the minds of all lovers of sweet and harmonious sounds, and that class is the human race very nearly all who are not fit for treason, strategems and spells; and when to the Thomas orchestra is added soloists of high standing and approved merit, and to all these professional people is added background of the best amateur talen that this town affords, trained by MT. Guckenberger, then surely we are to get a great deal for an admission fee. We will get our moneys worth in many ways.
 It has never been explained why iron and steel making towns are mu- sical towns, but so they are as rule So is the English Birmingham, and so is Glasgow, and so is Pittsburg. This will be, it is to be hoped, the reputa- tion of the American Birmingham, and such reputation can be promoted and well nigh established by a handsome support of an annual festival.
 MT. Guckenberger well deserves sup port. The bringing of Thomas or chestra is an event, for it is perhaps the best orchestra in the world, cer- tainly in this country. And the train ing of large chorus is no light task, and the work has not been hastily or imperfectly done. The chorus will do its part and will do it we'll. A musi- cal treat of a high order is in store for us, and every one who loves music should give it individual support.

Governor Johnston.

''The Governor of 1899 met the new con- stitution movement of his term on purely matter-of-fact lines. He signed the en- abling act for constitutional convention. few months later he announced that 1t had become impracticable to convene a constitutional convention as provided for by the act. Of the 100000 voters of the State only some 10000 had participated in the election of delegates and of this 10000 about one-fourth were of the single coun- ty of Jefferson. Further the Governor claimed to have found that fraction of one political party promised to dictate what the new constitution should be and how the new constitution should be re- ceived for ratification Upon these dis coyeries and conclusions of his own, he summoned the General Assembly in special session to save the State from a new constitution. The admitted head of the bar of the State gave professional counsel to the, Governor sustaining the validity of the executive interference: Senator Morgan denounced the executive interference as Q usurpation of office. on the general ground that the executive can interpose no act whatsoever in the process of constitution making.

As to a Christian Theatre.

The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon never lacks sensational proposition that will keep his name before the public and promote the sale of his books. At present he is advocating the establish ment of a Christian Theatre" to be owned and conducted by Christian peo- pie, "as much so as any church organ ization," and in which all the actors and actresses "are decidedly and posi- lively Christian men and women" The plays are to be of course wholly good"
 The Topeka clergyman begins at the wrong end. The theatres are what the people who witness the entertainments make them Few things in this world are more quickly or thoroughly re- sponsive to public sentiment. The stage has been changed for the better; the coarseness and liberties that once characterized it have been taken away, and it is gradually growing better. The pace would be faster if the people who frequent theatres would increase more rapidly in goodness.
 If MT. Sheldon desires to purify the stage let him begin upon the dictators of the stage. They offer an ample field, not as a theme for sensational lectures or magazine articles, but for moral effort. A Jump to MT. Sheldon's ideal theatre would be impracticable, because the patrons of the theatre had not been first trained to that standard. They could not therefore patronize such theatre, and the box office would soon cut short an untimely career. When MT. Sheldon gets the attendants of the theatre in proper frame of mind his ideal theatre will be practicable and possible, but until he and his associate workers in the moral and religious world materially enlarge their work, no such theatre can be established. The responsible people in disreputable entertainments sit in the seats and boxes, for the peo- pie get whatever they want and are willing to pay for. They invite vicious plays, and until they are reformed vicious plays will be presented. MT. Sheldon is working at the wrong" end of the huge problem. He is as- sailing effect" when he should attack "cause," which is as active in Topeka as elsewhere.

THERE IS NO EGYPTIAN TOBACCO

From the the Washington Evening Star.
 Very few men who enjoy the fine | flavor of the Egyptian cigarette are aware that tobacco raising has been prohibited by law in Egypt since 1Ss0,p said an im- porteIs6f cigarettes to theew writer recent ly. This drastic measure was adopted, curiously enough, to maintain the high reputation of Egyptian cigarettes. It was discovered about thirteen years ago that many of the smaller cigarette makers were realizing large profits by mixing the interior tobacco of the country with Turkish tobacco and selling the cigarette made of this mixture at the usual high price commanded by the Egyptian prod uct. It had won a place among the luxu- ries of the world, but it was in danger of losing it's pre-eminence through the de- terioratisn of the product. At first the government sought to mitigate the evil by restricting the acreage devoted to to- bacco raising, but it was finally decided to stop the cultivation of the weed en- tirely. Today not a pound of tobacco is raised on the five and half million acres of land under cultivation in Egypt. In fact, there is nothing Egyptian about
 Esyptidh clsdreeteS' except thdl they are made in Egypt. The tobacco comes from Turkey, the paper from Austria, Germany or Italy. and most of the labor employed is Greek, except for the com mon brands. which are consumed in Egypt and are made by the natives. The greater part of the trade Is centered in Cairo, where at least 5000 persons are de- pendent for their daily bread upon this industry. Of course. the government de- rives considerable revenue zvom the tax 1t imposes upon tobacco exports"

Your own is yours, and I am yours. and all"
 He is worse than heather or a pagan who does not stand steadfastly by his own and with his own and for his own, my beloved!
 To many of us, women and men, it is not given that we. each of us, possess the inestimable treasure of one mated to us in promise or by the law of God in the sight of the world. but there are some things tangible and intangible that we may rightfully and properly claim as our own, and In the faith of which we may live worthily and unafraid.
 To many of us is not given love in the higher sense, that enticing, alluring and absorbing love that subsists only betwixt men and women toward the righteous full flllment of the divine law set up for man kinds regeneration, the wonderful plan of physical and moral salvation that makes for the spiritual exaltation; the condition that promises the brightest sun shine in the heart and the sweetest song in the soul, the noblest purpose and the highest endeavor, the most orderliness of life and the most cleanliness of spirit; the thing which women have striven for with the rosy suffusion of modesty and the noble misgiving of virtue, and which men have died to win with the reckless dash of boy!
 But to such of us as are without the sheltered haven of the splendid passions fruition, whose cares have not cast an- chor in the harbor of a dream that began in the paradisiacal place of loves trysting when hearts were strong and true, there is yet given something that is our own and is for ourselves whilst the days come in sunbright glow and the nights wane in the blackness that must pass with the darkest hour.
 It Is not true that everybody, man or woman, welded or unwedded. has a lover in the closer and diviner sense, but even the poorest of us in the treasures of the spirit have glorious riches, and the things of our possession are priceless beyond the purchase of gold or glory, ambition or ceaseless striving.
 It may be a friend, high or humble, a friend of the leal steadfast, faithful, un- asking and accomplishing; one who sees not our shortcomings and is resolutey blind to our frailties, who remains un- marks not our faltering, but who gives us the right hand of unquestioning fel- lowship and defies the world to prove
