Birminuham's Spring Festival.

The near approach of the music fes- tival lends additional interest to it. A large number of seats have been sold, but many more should be sold in order to render the festival a memor- able and profitable event.
 When it is remembered that re- served seat is sold for one dollar 1t Is remarkable that there is a seat unsold in the Auditorium, large as it is. The Thomas orchestra usually commands in any part of the country two or three times that price, and to the or chestra is added a chorus of 200 home voices that have been trained fully six months, besides selection of star singers, some of whom sing alone to crowded houses. So much has not been given this season in this town for a dollar or for any other price.
 The reputation of the town is at stake. If the people will not fill the house when such an entertainment is offered they will not, it is certain, attend any lesser musical entertain ment. Every seat should be sold, and no doubt they will be before Monday evening, and those who go first will be best served.

Printers Ink.

"Give me a site anywhere in the 6irm- ingham district and I will build city of 10000 population within five years, and I will do it by the free use of printers ink" said MT. Thomas F. Grasty at the IIillman.
 Many thriving towns have been built and many business concerns have been made immensely profitable by the jujdi- cious use of printers ink. Birmingham gets a lot of free advertising, but the city would be better known throughout the country than 1t is it's advantages would certainly be better known than they are if there was cleverly conduct ed press bureau here systematically at work.
 "It pays com munities to advertise as well as 1t pays private interests. Take Bessemer. it's population could be doubled in a comparatively short while is printers ink were brought into full play. Any town that Is not absolutely lifeless can be put on a strong footing by the use of the press This is not idle talk. What

Coffee Drinkers.

"I have been living in hotels and res taurants nearly all my life,' remarked a middle-aged business man. "and I have yet to come across the nervous wrecks resulting from coffee-drinking that I read about. suppose there are such people as those described from time to time, but it happens that I have not met them.
 'I myself am an excessive coffee-drink- CT. l seldom drink less than twelve cups of black coffee a day. It does not hurt me, but then I have powerful constitu- tion. do not think a person of ordinary health should drink more than four or five cups. All men except those with bad flyers can drink coffee with impunity.
 q used to drink whisky, but 1t did not agree with me, It unfitted me for busi- ness, and I made up my mind to break off from the habit. I couldn't have done it easily but for excessive coffee drinking Coffee may not be an antidote for whisky for certain temperaments, but 1t suited my case exactly"

politics to that extent. Editor Estell is out of the running, and the race is between Terrell and Guerry, with the betting largely in favor of Terrell.
 Thus far Senator Clay has no rec ognized opponent. He is not Toombs or a Hill, but he Is a good working Senator who is often heard in the Senatorial debates, and he knows men in every one of the numerous counties of the State, having served several years as chairman of the State Com mittee. He will be reelected.
 The Georgia Democracy quickly rec ognized the unifying and satisfying influences of the primary. It did not take them long to recognize the sov- ereignty of the people, and when a State primary was asked for it was granted as a matter of course. There was no contention whatever. No one proposed to deprive a single Democrat of chance to express his preferences. No one proposed to shove representa- lives upon him when he could act directly for himself This is in Geor- gia. It is different in Alabama.

SURVIVING UNION GENERALS.

General Oliver o. Howard, in a remin- iscent mood, says that of the twenty seven commanders of Union armies dur ing the civil war, only two survive, Gen eral Scofield and bimself. General Scho- field commanded he department and army of the Ohio for a brief time in 1861, but in the field he always served, we be- lieve, under others-under sherman in the Atlanta campaign and under Thomas when Hood invaded Tennessee Schofield checked the Confederate general in the famous and bloody battle of Franklin. General Howard was for some time in comm and of the army of the Tennessee, and attained the rank of brigadier gen. eral in the regular army before the close of the war.
 Speaking of the forty corps command CTS on the Union side ..e says: "Of them there are Sickles. of the Third corps only ten are living. As I recall them, Stanley and Thomas and John Wood, of the Fourth corps; Wilcox of the Ninth corps; Carl Schurz and Stahl, of the Eleventh corps; Granville M. Dodge, of the Six teenth corps; "Baldy" Smith and Gen. Alexander Mcdowell McCook." Gen. Howard has omitted Adelbert Ames, who at one time commanded the Tenth corps, and William B. Franklin, who command ed the Sixth and Nineteenth. and who at Fredericksburg directed the movements of what was called the left general di- vision, consisting of two corps.-New York Evening Suni

Primaries In Georuia.

Public sentiment is more efficient and operative in Georgia than it is in Alabama, for in that State no one has the hardihood to oppose direct action by the people themselves. A State primary is to be held on June 5, when an United States Senator, eleven Con- gressmen, and State officers will be named by the Democracy. The county primaries will as rule be held at the same time. A few had named an earlier date, but many of these are taking steps to accept the State pri- mary day. thus putting into execution the full primary system, which calls for general action on a given day in all parts of State.
 In Georgia Governor is to be nomi- nated-really, to be selected, and the race is now confined to ex-Attorney General Terrell, and Dupont Guerry of Macon. MT. Terrell may be said to be the machine candidate, but he is very strong in all parts of the State. His opponent depends upon the prohi- bition sentiment that has made 105 of the 137 counties of the State dry" He advocates a State prohibition law, but thus far there are no indications that prohibition will be carried into

Clarke and Jones,

Jones of Arkansas-a gentle, father ly soul, an affable, lovable character, who attracted all that came near him. He has been beaten in Arkansas. He was a friend of William J. Bryan, but so is Clarke, who defeated Jones. The people speaking in primaries had simply tired of Jones and wanted a change.
 James P. Clarke, who wrested the Senatorship from James K. Jones, lives in Helena, Phillips County, on the Mississippi river. In a straight line it is about fifty miles below Memphis. The winner is thus described in the Memphis Commercial-Appeal:
 As attorney-general for the state he gave eminent satisfaction by givng al- most religious attention to his duty. He was then made Governor. It was while in this position that he aroused the political animosity which, for a time, operated as g stumbling block to his ambitions
 As the states chief executive he was rigid in the performance of his duty, some times frigid in his intercourse with other persons connected with his adminstra- tion and always austere in his bearing. He spat in the face of member of the Legislature and made him swallow the in suit at the muzzle of pistol. With Clarke it was a point of honor and he never faltered in doing what the thought the | circumstances justified.
 In personal appearance ex-Governor Clarke is a handsome and distinguished looking man. He is tall, straight, dig nifed and looks like a perfect specimen of manhood chiselled out of ston by masters hand. He has a cold, indifferent manner, but beneath his heart beats as warm as a July sun. He is austere, the embodiment of dignity, always impertur- able, except when wrought to a pitch of anger by sharp criticism of a foe, and then his ferocity and vindictiveness know no bounds.
 Two men more unlike it would per haps be difficult to find. They had been rivals many years, but Jones easily gained the ascendancy in the State, and down to last Saturdays primaries he was supreme in the party. Six years ago he readily routed Clarke's forces, but times change and men change with them, and Arkansas has selected a new idol.

STEIN WILL CONTINUE WAR.
Dewet Inducing Him Not to Meet
 President Schalk-Burqer.

:. Kronstad, Orange River Colony Tues day, April 1.-The Transvaal delegates are still here It is believed that General De- Wet is influencing President Steyn not to meet acting President Schalk-B Burger
 Pretoria, Wednesday, April 2. - Com munications have passed between Presi- dent Steyn and the Transvaal mission at Kronstad, but nothing is yet known of the result. The majority of the military men and civilians here expect more from the continual pressure of the troops than from the present negotiations.
 It Is pointed out that once before. when hard pressed, the Transvaalers showed a desire for peace, but this was promptly overridden by President Steyn. Nothing in the present situation so far as known indicates that President Steyn is less ir- reconcilable than previously. The indi- cations seem to point to a greater deter imitation to continue the struggle.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Lluhter Diet.

''The high-price of meat will have the effect, am sure, of turning the attention of thousands to the question of changing their diet and giving up beef, mutton and pork" said practical vegetarian.
 If the advance in the price of provis- ions results in diminishing the number of heavy meat eaters in this country, would not have any fault to find with the beef trust, but would rather regard 1t as benefactor of the race.
 "I have been a. vegetarian for nearly ten years I used to eat heavy meats. l began to reform by eating meat only once a day and very little then. About ten years ago I gave up meat altogether. l eat cereals and other vegetable foods. l eat a great deal of fruit. I enjoy better health now than did when I was beef eater.
 "Toilers in the mills, mines and fields may need some solid meat, but they could get along with very little of 1t. As for the average business or professional man and the average woman, they should confne themselves to a meatless diet if they would have the best of health. have seen statistics which were exhibited to show that the great beef-consuming nations produced the best specimens of brawn and brain. and have seen statis- tics which proved that the non-meat-eat- ing peasants of Europe were as strong and long-lived as those that consumed meat. But pay no attention to statistics in this matter my own experience and ob- servation being enough to prove that Americans can thrive without eating meatp

PECULIAR KILLING,
A Man Tries to Shoot a Postmaste,
 Through Window and Is Shot.

Washington, April 3.-Details of the killing of a man named Searles by Post master Guyer of Clayton, N M, have been received by the Postmaster Gen. eral.
 In letter written by the postmaster, he declares that Searles came into his office on March 26, about o'clock in the afternoon, and asked for 10 cents worth of stamps. The postmaster was stand ing at the delivery window at the time, and as he reached for the stamps, Searles, he said, opened fire upon him and emptied his revolver.
 Thepostmaster says he immediately picked up revolver near by and re- turned the fire, with the result that Searles Is dead The postmaster de- clares Searles never said a word to him beyond asking for the stamps, and that he is entirely ignorant in his object in endeavoring to kill him.

REMOVING THE DEBRIS.
Only One Body Left In the Wrecked
 Mine at Dayton.

Chattanooga, April S.-A long distance telephone message to the News from Dayton. Tenn, this morning states that the mining forces are now confining themselves to the work of removing the debris from the Nelson mine and are making satisfactory progress.
 The body of John Harney, white miner, Is still in the mine and it Is be- lieved all others have been taken out
 State Mine Inspector Shifflett left Day ton after deciding that it would be un- necessary to hold an inquest over the bodies of the miners.
 The coroner at Dayton decided not to take steps to hold inquests, for the req son that no one has made out the neces- sary affidavit for such proceedings.
 The Dayton Coal and Iron Company is looking after the wants of the families of the deceased miners until other pro- visions can be made for them.

Uroed to Be On Time.

MT. B. Guckenberger, director of the music festival, Is urging ticket holders to be in their seats next Monday night a little ahead of time so that quiet may prevail when MT. Thomas opens the programme with the "Rienzf' overture. The festival will begin at S:15 to the minute.
 Birmingham audiences are not noted for being on time," said MT. Gucken- berger, but I beg the public to make a special effort on this occasion. No one should be willing to miss the overture but those persons who come later than s:15 o'clock will be shut out as usual until that number is finished. If the opening piece were tame or dry or over classic it would be natural for the ma jority of people to be late, so as to avoid hearing 1t, but there is not a more popular or stirring overture known to the concert stage than Rienzi.'

Mineral Output of the World.

The full report issued by the Brit ish government and edited by Dr. c. Le Neve Foster, showing the mineral output in the year 1900, is an inter- esting document. Dr. Le Neve Foster had many difficulties to contend with, especially in China, Persia and Fur key, but he succeeded at last in pro- curing mineral statistics for the entire world that are more nearly accurate than any that had before been pub lished.
 He gives coal the first place, of which 767 million tons were mined. The British Empire holds the lead by narrow margin, Its product in 1900 l being PAS million tons, as against 245 million tons in this country. Ger many's product was 149 million tons, and none of the other countries mined 40 million tons.
 Of metallic iron the worlds produc. tion was 40 million tons. Here the pre-eminence of this country stands out, for our product was IA million tons; Spain's, 5h million tons; the British Empires, million tons; Ger many's, AZ million tons, and Russia's, 3 million tons-leaving but million tons to the rest of the world. The Spanish iron was chiefly melted in England. France and Austria-Hungary are iron-producing countries, the two together yielding about million tons. Belgium and Sweden produced to- gether about 31a million tons, and the remainder was gotten in many coun- tries.
 The production of petroleum was IS million tons, nearly 71A of which were produced in the United States. Russia is the chief petroleum country of the world, her product in 1900 rising 
 the petroleum of the world is raised from the depths of the earth in Rus sia and the United States. The Baku and the Beaumont wells are the petroleum wonders of the world.
 One-half of the worlds copper is produced in the United States, and in gold production the United States is outranked by Great Britain only. Mexico is the leader in silver produc. tion, followed closely by the United States. This country Is the chief pro- ducer of lead, but Spain is a good sec ond. The British Empire produces two-thirds of the worlds supply of tin, and the Dutch East Indies nearly all of the other third. Germany is the zinc country, followed in order by the United States, Japan, France and Swe- den.
