 The clergy were also addressed by Rev. George C. Crockett of San Augustine, Tex. who was present by the especial invitation of Bishop Beckwith. He spoke of his work as the missionary in charge of five immense counties in Texas cover ing the entire field from San Augustine nn the east to Fl Paso on the west. MT. Crockett is a special friend of Bishop Reckwith and came to Alabama to be present at his conservation.
 The impression made upon the clergy ot the church by the new Bishop was that he was a man Thoroughly consecrat- ed to his work and determined to accom- plieh the best results in every depart ment of Diocesan organization so far as he is able.
 Bishop Beckwith finds it impossible as yet to say anything definite concerning his permanent place of residence and can not decide the matter until he has thor oughly looked into all matters bearing upon that subject.
 Bishop Beckwith will remain in Mont gomery today. He and Mrs. Reckwith are the guests of Dr. and Mrs. B. J. Baldwin on Madison Avenue.
 The Bishops in attendance upon the consecration of ishop Beckwith have all left the city.

Many of them have been heard at entertainments for charity 1t Mont gomery and the press of that city has ever been ready and willing to give them praise for their ability. One of the most promising of the recent aSpirants for honors, through pure love for his gifts, is Charles William Glass, young man possessed of much means. culture and enjoying the confidence and we'll wishes of people in every circle of the city. He is the son of Adam Glass. one of the pio- neer merchants of Mobile. and recently the young man became a partner in the drm of which his father Is the senior. Willie Glass, as he Is best known to ev- cry one Is a musician by nature and through devotion to his art, has become not only skillful musician, but a writer of songs and instrumental selections as well, He Is skilled in the handling of nine different musical instruments and has al- ready been heard to success in many charitable entertainments in this city. One of his instrumental compositions Reception March," has been rendered here by Sousa's Band. and as well in the East and North Mr. Glass has ready for the publishers a vocal production en- titled "Only An Orange Blossom"
 The most commendable feature of Mir. Glass aspirations Is that he devotes all of the proceeds of his work to charity. Through this source ne has been enabled to contribute largely to good deeds and he does so in manner most credta ble in that he does not parade his deeds

My informant was a man who stands high in the national councils of the Demo- cratic party. This gentleman informed me that last summer a boom was inau- gurated in California that had in view the nomination for Vice-President of Governor Jennings and that two Ne braska newspapers and several in Cali fornla had already discussed Floridas chief executive in connection with this honor. It Is generally understood in certain circles that William.

FSAS @A4Any 0AA4s
 Washington, Dec. 1S.-Secretary Root today made an argument before the Sem ate Committee on Military in support of the bill for the creation of a general stan with the lieutenant general as ths head of 1t. He presented 1t in less detail than he presented 1t to the House Cou- mittee. but answered a number of ques- tions put by the committee.
 Senator Alger sat with the committee for the first time and considerable in- terest was manifested in his position on the bill owing to the fact of his recent connection with the War Department. He asked a number of questions of his sue. cessor in off1ce and after the committes adjourned stated that it was his iuten. ton to support the bill.
 Secretary Root renewed his request that the bill should be amended so as tS postpone the date when it shall takI effect until after next August when Gen. eral Miles, who opposes the measure will retire by reason of age.
 In tl1e meeting of the committee Senator Alger took a very decided position In support of the bill, saying that his ex- perience as Secretary of War had con vinced him that only by the adoption of a system like this could endless confusion be prevented. The exchange of views among the members of the committee left no room for doubt that the bill will be favorably reported by the committee.

da's Governor to be the Vice-Presdential nominee will. at the proper time. meet the sanction and hearty endorsement of MT. Bryan and his Commaner. I have also heard that Bryan will be willing to sup port Judge Parker of New York, for the Presidential nomination, but he prefers W. R. Hearst. He believes, however, that the time has arrived that the South should be considered. and 1t is very likely that his Florida cousin will receive the support of the element controlled by the nominee for President in 1896 and 1900.
 T am no political prophet, but you can depend on 1t that a strenuous ef- fort will be made to make Governor Jen- nings the Democratic nominee for Vice President. in 1904 and if there is anything in the movement or any hope of success, then he will not enter the Senatorial cam paign in Florida for reasons that are to me very clear"
