The Proorammes.

"Which is the most brilliant programme of the music festival, or which would you advise me to hear, if I can afford only one? This was a question which a woman asked me the other day" remarked member of the Choral Society.
 My advice was for her to strain a point and hear both programmes It IS hard to say which is the finer. Both programmes are exceptionally attractive On the opening night the chorus. will sing Skeleton in Armour and Fair Ellen Miss Electa Clifford will sing a great solo-the Bell Song-from Lakme'. MT. Kroner will play one of the most beau tiful solos ever written for the violin and Miss Edna Gockel will play the first movement of Scharwenka's new piano concerto. In addition to these Theodore Thomas will conduct popular orchestral numbers.
 But the second programme will be just as varied and tuneful. Thomas will give Wagner's overture to Tannhauser, Grieg's Peer Gtnt' suite, and Weber s Invitation to the Dance,' arranged for orchestra by weingartner, and the chorus will sing Moratio Parker's flora Novis- sirna' These are splendid programmes indeed for popular audiences, and as the price of a reserved seat is only N the Auditorium should be filled both nights"

A WHITE PRIMARY,
From the Gadsden Journal.

From the GadSden Journal
 If the people have made up their minds, now that all cause and excuse for fraud ulent elections favo been removed by the provisions of the new constitution, to elect the best men to office and to select all candidates, from Justice of the peace to Governor, by white primary, and we mean by 8 white primary one in which all qualified white voters are allowed a vote. then in truth new era has dawn ed in Alabama It Is an era of honest government retrenchment and reform, lower tax rates. better school facilities, better roads, just and equitable laws surely an era in which equal rights will be enjoyed by all our people and special privilege given to none. If we are to continue the old practice of stocking beat meetings and county conventions and buying and trading in the state conven- tions, then the expectations of a large number of our best men will be disap- pointed. The old gang who have flourish ed by corrupt manipulation of political meetings will still rule and the people will still mourn, for it is still true that when the wicked rule the people mourn. A white primary will give to all parts of the state voice in the selection of candi- dates. continuance of the old plan will give the black belt the selection of all our state officers and the white counties will not be considered fin the division of honors or offices. If we are honest in our efforts to secure white supremacy lets stand by the old Democratic usage-the majority of the white people must rula Is there Democrat Populist or Republi- can in Etowah County that is not willing to stand by white primary in which all voters are pledged to abide the result and in which all are given free. fair and untrammeled expression of choice2

The cry has gone up from Ore
gon that the coming election in
that state in June is lost to the re-
publicans unless the national re-
publican committee throw whole
lot of money into the state to help
out the local managers. AS Ore
gon fires the first gun in the con-
gressional election of 1902 it is sale
to say that the banks, trusts and
tariff-protected industries, which
are the benefciaries of republican
legislation, will unloose their purse
strings for the purpose OF carrying
this election and claiming the pres
tige of great republican majority
in the Webfoot state. The normal
republican majority in the state is
about $4,000, and the fact that
help is asked from headquarters

ocratic tidal wave is making itself

MILLSLIE LOCATIONS.

Replying to a correspondent writ
ing from Dixie camp asking for in
formation concerning the location
OF a millsite, we would say that it
il singular that while section 1887 !,
Revised Statutes of the United
States, provides for patent of
millsites in connection with a lode
or lodes, and also for the patenting
of millsites by the owner Of quartz
mill or reduction works not own
ing mine in connection there
with, there is absolutely no provis-
ion concerning the location of a
millsite. The laws of the state OF
Idaho are also silent in providing
for the location of millsites, al
though the Montana code provides
for the location OF such claims.
But this singular omission in the
Revised Statutes of the United
States is not a fatal defect, for mill.
sites are patented every day in the
week. The decisions of the gen.
eral land Office and secretary of the
interior are uniformly to the effect
that the applicant for u patent fol
o millsite location must show that
the land is n-mineral in charac.
ter and not contiguous to vein OF
lode. II it adjoins q lode on the
end, it is presumed to be minera
land; but this presumption may b.
overcome, and it does not exist
where the millsite location adjoins
the side lines Of quartz or placer
location. 1t must be used fol
mining or milling purposes. a
millsite used in connection with .
lode may be patented with the lode
If not, it must be patented sepa
rately, in precisely the same man
ner as a lode claim.

BAKING POWDER SEIZED.

The New York Board of Health
Find 1t Contains Alum and
Rock, Declare 1t Dangerous
to Health and Dump 1t Into
the River.
The New York papers report
that the Health Department of that
city has seized as dangerous to
health nearly two tons of cheap
mixtures sold for baking powder,
and dumped them into the olfal
scow to be destroyed. More Of
the powder was found in Sixth
ave. department store. The re-
port Of the analysis Of the Health
Department stated that it was ian
alum baking powder" containing
alum and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorizes
seem to have different ways Of re-
pressing the sale of bad baking
powders. In England they have
prosecuted the grocers under the
general law and broken up the
traffic. In Missouri the sale of
alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York
they seize the unwholesome stuff
and cast it into the river, without
any discussion. The latter way is
certainly effective.
The alum baking powders are
usually offered at low price, ten
to twenty cents pound, or with
some prize, as temptation to the
housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name and
reputation. DO not be tempted by
the grocer to take something else
'.just as good" or our own brand"
for the trials show that the grocer
himself is often deceived by un-
scrupnlous makers and is selling
an alum powder without knowing
it.
There are several good powders
ON the market; let the housekeeper
insist on having what she knows is
right, and not be induced to risk
the life Of the family for an imagin-
airy saving of a few cents.

A remarkable thing happened i

A remarkable thing happened in
Uncle Sans mint during the month
of March. Only 1857 of gold coin
were minted in that month, while
silver coinage to the value of 49,
1873, 734 was minted in the same
time. The idea is to restrict the
coinage of gold in order to make
money scarce and dear. The time
is soon coming when interest-b bear
ing bonds will be issued to redeem
the outstanding silver coins and
silver certificates, and this is what
the gold bugs are playing for.
