Landry took him wide in the first turn
 and trailed in that position half way
 down the stretch Landry rode wide on
 every turn, losing ground all the time. while Sadie s. and Barlow were saved every possible' inch. In the stretch, how ever after Landry had carried him to the outside, The Parader came like an engine with the throttle open. It was the effort of good horse running solely on the courage inborn with the high class thoroughbred, and not in any meas ure the result of good jockeyship. The colt passed the others when his courage was put to the test and won by length and half from Sadie S., who beat Bar low head for place honors.
 Just before he pulled the trigger John Jenkins of Philadelphia wrote: Beware of fast women and whisky" The words are common enough, having often been written by unfortunates, but no one can be accused of plagiarism, for they are original with all who learn them from experience.
 I doubt If there are half a score of men or women in Birmingham who can tell on the spur of the moment who Stephen Collins Foster was I heard belated darkey humming a song last night that brought this subject to my mind. You ask what he did. Among the earliest of his deeds were two songs he gave away to a friend who made s1o,O0O out of
 them. viz: "There Was An Old Negro
 and His Name Was Ned" and 70,
 Susanna Don't You Cry For Me" For
 "Old Folks At Home'' he received $15, 900.
 It Is the best known song in the
 world, It was first sung by the Christy
 Minstreles in New York. Four hundred
 thousand copies were sold, and the Chris ties became famous In this country and
 Europe through the medium of this sim pie negro song, and other of Foster S melodies.
 the North" first appeared in concert in this country, Clara Louise Kellog was
 the reigning favorfte among operatic con- cert lovers. and in response to an encore
 would sing Coming Through the Rye" in most bewitching and captivating
 manner. The beauteous Nilsson knew no
 English, but she mastered Fosters homely words, and when the rounds of applause for some operatic performance called her
 again to the footlights she filled the great hall with the sweetest strains that had come to human ears since Orpheus
 struck the Tyne and wooed the very trees and rocks, and assembled the beasts of | the forests around him as he touched it's | chords.'
 Way down upon de Swanee river, Far, far away,
 | Deres wha my heart Is turning ebber, Deres wha de old folks stay. | All up and down de whole creation Sadly roam,
 Still longing for de old plantation | And for de old folks at home' | No operatic song that Christine Nilsson ever sung so captured the hearts of the
 American people as did this simple negro melody.
 My Old Kentucky Home" "Old Dog Tray Ground Gentle Annie" Willie We Have Missed You" and that exquisite thing. Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming" all, and many more are his. He lived in an atmosphere of tender and
 chaste thought, which he has stored and
 compressed to soothe toiling world. You
 must not forget him.

LARGEST ELECTRIC PLANT.

From the New York Herald.
 On the west bank of the Harlem river extending from Two Hundred and Six teenth to Two Hundred and Eighteenth street. is now beng erected the power station of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, recently absorbed by the Metro politan Street Railway Company. which, when completed. will be the largest in the world It is designed to develop a maximum of 100000 electrical horse power. or about double. the capacity of the great power-house at Niagara Falls.
 Nearly two years were taken to build the foundation. Four hundred and fifty thousand feet of yellow pine timbers 6 inches thick and 70 feet long. were re- quired to construct a coffer dam around the building. Sixteen thousand oak piles 40 feet long were put into the foundation. On the tops of these piles 5000 cubic yards of Portland cement concrete was laid.

Summer Homes In the Mountains

Undoubtedly the most invigorating and healthful region in which to spend the heated term, is among the resorts along the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
 way, in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. These resorts vary in altitude from 1900 to 250O feet and are celebrated for their grand and picture sque mountain surroundings. variety of mineral waters. exhilarating climate. mildly warm days and cool, refreshing nights, producing that feeling of energy and buoyancy which insures health and promotes enjoyment. There are over 300 summer homes among the mountains and on the sea shore, reached by the c. & O. Railroad. The rates vary to suit those of moderate means who prefer homelike surroundings and to gratify those seeking gaiety and social life For booklet descriptive of these resorts and giving names and addresses of managers, apply to ticket offices of lines connecting at Louisville and Cincinnati. or address A L.

Not more than forty persons and not less than nineteen were around the fropt of the Morris last week when the blind man who sells papers did, what was call ed in the days of Christ. miracle-that is to say he saw.
 Of course this sounds unreasonable to the average reader, but it is a fact nev ertheless. and although, too, the happen ing caused considerable laughter at the time, it occurred. Possibly it was the first time the polite old newsmau had seen since afflicted by the loss of sight. And possibly not. Anyway he saw and the facts of the sightseeing or miracle, which ever you wish to call it, are somewhat as follows:
 One of the aforesaid loungers about the front had just bought an Age Herald when the crowd espied some distance away an individual with a nose and face slightly resembling what was called red before the days of the girl with the auburn hair" This forid complexioned man was tacking and slowly making his way to the entrance. By a magnificent display of his nautical knowledge he was finally able to hove to, as it were, at the side of the blind man.
 The individual. after consuming several minutes in trying to change his position, in hiccoughing, In leaning forward. in side-stepping and in otherwise maneu- verlng, remarked in mother-I-am-sick language:
 'Old man, I am drunk-beastly drunk
 The blind man raised his head and said:
 'Yes. sir. see you are. see you are really very drunk"
 And the crowd laughed. But the blind man was truthful. He saw, and I will ask anyone if they have not seen men drunk when there eyes were somewhere else. There Is a strangeness about a drunk that communicates to the sight Often you see such conditions by that same strangeness.
 The fire department was called out on an alarm a few days ago. the like of which has never been told. The alarm was from one of the largest business houses in the city, and the story of 1t caused some laughter when first re- peated.
 The office man and janitor of the place Is a negro. The day ins question: he was asked to fill a swinging lamp with kero- sine. Taking the can in hand he climbed the step ladder and began pouring. Su<- denly he missed the lamp and filled the heavy wool of his head with the iiliam- mible stuff.
 And in some way match was struck in the neighborhood of thS soaked GOV ering of curls. Then gnere was a con- 1agration and a pes5er-by called out the fire department thinking the store was on fire.

place. however. the negro had succeeded himself in extinguishing the flames that were fast destroying his locks And the fremen could only look at the scorched head and laugh for the trouble they had been forced to by the excitable passer- by. That was pay sufficiently for the short run, don't you think?
 Woman has ever been a being of pas sion All her actions have been made ubservient to that great mover of the feminine-heart throbs. And so her sway has been declared capricious.
 Never before has this sway of or by passion been so marked as it is at the present time. No better illustration of the fact can be found than the manner in which London society women are passing their time in riotous gambling.
 The story of this great fever for gam ing is well and interestinly told in the press despatches from London as fol- lows:
 "The passion for gambling pervading the smart set in London threatens to lead to much scandal. Stories are al- ready current of well known women's losses in one case amounting to, It IS said, fS000 at a single sitting. The World exposes the universality of the craze, saying:
  or her neighbor. It is the smart hostess, who, regardless of all considerations of hospitality and friendship, invites guest to her house for the express purpose of winning their money. Her only aim Is to get together those who will play rou lette or bridge, and can afford to pay up handsomely when the hour of recon ing comes There Is no less danger for the gilded youth in the country house, on H.. H-s. a,1,k l., T dy~a4 t,ur rooms than on the turf or at Monte Carlo. Night after night women en- courage gambling in their houses and watch complacenty the pecuniary scourging of their friends.
 [. TO be at home a certain afternoon in the week has become the way of an- nouncing to those who can play and pay that they will find the hostess's drawing room a private gambling saloon, and so firmly has the passion for snatch ing money from other pockets taken possession of the feminine mind that wo-' men of position no longer hesitate as beaters for those who are ready to pro- vide sports if birds arc provided for them'"
 It Is said, too. ;nat London is not the only large c';y where this gambling pas sion Is threatening to almost destroy the VI sanctity of home. In New York gossip whispers many storleS or san- bling in the rich and exclusive set, as we'll as among the actresses to whom money Is to be had only for the mere asking.
 It must be very interesting-thiS gam ing by beautiful, handsomely dressed women. I for one would like more than almost anything else to one of these games-especially when the limit is so high that s4O.0oO may be lost at one sit ting.

From the Carrollton West Alabamian.
 It is to be hoped the constitutional con vention will provide seperate courts of appeals. one with only civil Jurisdiction and the other to hear appeals in criminal cases There should be three judges for each court, thus creating only one addi- tional judge It would be a great saving to the state. for under the present sys- tenn causes languish on the supreme court docket for years and prisoners are in jail for months fed by the state at great ex- pense, when if we had two distinct courts these delays and expenses could all be Obyiated

Suffrage Requirements

From the Dadeville Spot Cash.
 As long as any man, white or black, has saved to him the equal right of ae- quiring the suffrage by accommodating the qualities prescribed by law as a prellm- mary condition for its exercise, he has everything which the philosophy of dem- ocracy' or republicanism required that all men shall have equally. He cannot demand. justly. that the requirements shall be fixed so as to pull other men down or to lift himself up to equally in fact as well as in right, in the matter of voting.
 Alabaina will no doubt keep to this line of equality of right, voluntarily from a senso of justice, or by compulsion, be- cause the constitution requires no more than this, for the confusion of thought to which our Frenchmen refers is not a part of that constitution. The kink is in the head of the humanitarians and not in the constitution of the United States
