Editors Don't Know Where to Go.
 ''rhe question that is agitating the newspaper men this year" said a prom inent member of the Alabama Press Association, lis where the Press Associa- ton will take its annual trip. The sug- gestion is being made to go to Cuoa after the meeting in Mobile on May 2S' but the trouble is that 1t is too hot at that time and it Is the sickly season ot the year in Cuba. The argument Is also being made that we ought to have strictly business meeting at Mobile and get all of the "stay-at-home' editors to attend and If the association wants to go on an outing to do so about the first of August. President Yerby has called upon the editors of the State to write their views so that when the eXecu- tive committee meets they can act upon the suggestions of the different members. I am informed that quite number want to go to New York via. Savannah, talk ing the ocean trip going and return by rail via. Washington.

wAsHlNeToN's DAUGHTER.

From the N r Commercial Advertiser.
 Miss Portia Washington, Booker T. Washington's daughter. who Is a student at Wellesley College, has written her inn pressions of the New England college girl and of college life. Miss Washington says that with all her energy and freedom of spirit no girl Is kinder or sweeter than the average college girl. She seems to be making the best in life. Among the young woman's most interesting observations are the Allowing: Tt seems hardly fair to compare girls with generations of culture behind them with girls whose parents were slaves. and yet I believe that our girls could teach these girls many lessons in patience and self-sacrifce. Years of slavery have made this their inheritance. The negro school girl, as rule, is re- fined and gentle. lacking the force that oharacterizes her Northern college sister. The negro school girl has fondness for music, literature and manual labor rather than mathematics and athletics"

SENATOR PETTUs' AMENDMENT.
Washington Correspondent of the Chicago
 paoord. Herald

Washington Correspondent of the Chicago
 Record Herald.
 After the harmless Allison amendment had been adopted, Mir. Pettus the ven- erable but alert Senator from Alabama. offered an amendment limiting the expen- diture under this act'' to 5000, 900 in any one year. At first the champions of the measure thought this a good joke. It did appear like great generosity on the part of the Alabama statesman to raise the limit" by sl.o0O,OOO Senator Hanna him. self voted for the amendment in great glee, and 1t was adopted.
 But little later 1t was discovered Sem ator Pettus had shrewdly stolen a march on the subsidy people. If the Allison amendment limited the postal expenditure to a maximum of $S, 900, 900 and tine Pettus amendment limited the total under the law to s9,OOOoo0, only $1,OOO,OOo would be left for the general subsidy. This would never do, and the laugh was turned against Senator Hanna.
 When the bill was taken out the com mittee of the whole into the Senate. MT. Aldrich moved to strike out the Pettus amendment and the Republican ma jority lined up and struck 1t out. The re- suit Is that the postal subsidy Is limited to S5, 900, 900 and s, ,000, 600, and the general subsidy is not limited at all. Senators Hanna and Frye could not ask for any thing better.

MILLIONS OF EASTER EGGS.

From the New York Herald.
 More than six million eggs were received in New York yesterday, mostly from the West, and the price dropped to r cents There Is such demand at present. how ever, that the dealers say they do not expect any further decline.
 High prices for eggs were the result of the severe winter and the using up of the surplus stock held in cold storage. When the weather began to moderate the hen resumed business and large shipments of eggs were made from the West and Southwest From points as distant as Nebraska, Texas and Louisiana the eggs came. Yesterday 18,56O cases, with 36O eggs in case, making a total of 6,6s1, GOO eggs, arrived in the city. Monday Il. 6s1 cases were received

Grover Cleveland.

T have no idea who will be the Demo- cratic nominee for President in 1904 but if l had my choice it would be Grover Cleveland" said an active politician last night.
 T espoused the cause of D. B. Hill In the spring of 1892 and I voted for Bryan in 1896 and 1900. While I voted for Cleve- land in 1884, 1888 and 1892, I was never known as a Cleveland man. But my opin- ion of Cleveland and his statesmanship has undergone change, I am free to say now that Cleveland Is the biggest statesman that the party has had in my time I can see today what did not see years ago--that Cleveland was absolutely right on the money question.
 No Democratic President could have been a better friend of the South than Cleveland, and Southern Democrats should ever feel grateful to him.
 'I hardly think MT. Cleveland will con sent to run in 1904. He enjoys the honor of having been nominated by the Demo- cratic party three times and elected twice. But there Is no man in sight who would poll as many votes as Cleveland"

Damaqe to Fruit.

"The freeze of Monday night did a great deal of damage to fruit" said Mir. L. A. Townley, the Morris avenue mer- chant.
 "The late peaches bloom earlier than the early peaches, and many of these early bloomers were caught and nipped. There may be asgood crop of early peaches but I do not see how we can have late peaches.
 Strawberry blooms were killed by the cold weather but there Is time enough to have a fresh blooming. I look for a pretty large crop of Alabama berries but 1t will be late. Florida berries were in the market yesterday at 171Ac per quart, wholesale

BEDOuIN SONG,

By Bayard Taylor. From the desert I come to thee On stallion shod with fire; And the winds are left behind In the speed of my desire. Under thy window l stand, And the midnight hears my crys I love thee, love but thee, With love that shall not die
 Till the sun grows cold, And the stars are old,
 And the leaves of the Judgement
 Book unfold! Look from thy window and see My passion and my pain; lie on the sands below, And I faint in thy disdain. Let the night winds touch thy brow With the heat of my burning sigh. And melt thee to hear the vow Of a love that shall not die
 Till the sun grows cold,
 And the stars are old,
 And the leaves of the Judgement
 Book unfoldl My steps are nightly driven, By the fever in my breast, To hear from thy lattice breathed The word that shall give me rest. Open the door of thy heart And open thy chamber door, And my kisses shall teach thy lips The love that shall fade no more
 Till the sun grows cold,
 And the stars are old,
 And the leaves of the Judgement

Large of frame he had heart bigger than the limited expansion of the av- craze human mind. Peace to his ashes, l should have been glad to grasp his hand again.

LOS ANGELES MAY YET WIN.
Club Has Been Requested to Extend
 Time Limit of the Offer.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 19.-There is still a chance that Los Angeles may get the Jeffries- Fitzsimmons fight. The time limit as set by the Centurcy Club for the acceptance of it's bid of S25,0O0 for the fight expired yesterday without a reply from Fitzsimmons.
 Jeffries expressed much regret that Fitz had not seen fit to accept the offer which he considered the best that had been made. He requested that the club extend the time limit till tonight and voluntarily telegraphed Fitz that in his opinion they would make big mistake in allowing such a liberal offer to be withdrawn. The club wired to Jeffries at his request and has extended the time until tonight at which time 1t will hold its bid open.

"The tan shoe, which started some years ago as outing wear got to be very fashionable, but not many have been worn in the past two or three years.o said First avenue shoe man yesterdav
 Tan shoes were worn by women as well as men. The women gave them up and the men followed suit. But the tans will come back in fashion this summer. They will be used almost altogether by men. For several reasons tan shoes are desirable. They certainly show dirt less the black shoe. The man who wears A colored shirt will for the same reason wear tan shoe"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Fools seek pleasure; wise men happi- ness.
 Solomons wives were contented because they did not have to go in bad weather to gossip.
 Some women are so unlucky in raising children that If they kept them locked in a safe they would be the first ones in the block to catch the measels.
 Because a woman smiles sweetly when the dinner guest says he will have more ot her delicious pie and there isn't any more is no sign that when she gets into another room she doesn't kick the door in a rage.
 The man who commands the largest re- spect from his wife is the one who can make her believe the reason he doesn't make more money Is because it Is so easy for him 1t isn't worth his while to give much attention to 1t

WOMEN TO SEE A PRIZE FIGHT.

Denver Telegram to Chicago Record
 Herald.
 Local society having yearned for the pleasure of prize fight, the Denver Ath- letic Club members have decided to grati- fly the longing by giving a smoker next Friday night with a programme specially devised to meet the approval of their lady friends, who have frequently sought the male prerogative of witnessing a real bout.
 Professor Gallagher, manager of the arena, says he will produce a pair of fighters who will give a real bout, and not a paper affair. Blood and all the other embellishments that go to make up such an affair will not be spared.
 It Is more than likely that "Kid'' Parker and Young Spitz" will be the stars, especially as the former has won the admiration of the women by declar- ing himself a vegetarian in his diet.

cd of last week as one of the notable
events of the season, was made public
here and in Liverpool Monday morning,
18th inst. 1t was generally assumed by
the brokers here that it would be for a
small crop, because Messrs. Wilson &
Co. had been for several days last week
liberal buyers of futures. The estimate,
when finally issued, proved somewhat of
surprise however, as it was for crop
of only 9,445,00 bales. or about 100000
bales less than it was generally expected
it would be. The Liverpool market for
futures advanced Monday morning three
sixty -fourths of a penny, presumably on
this estimate, but at the close OF bust
ness had lost all of the Improvement ex-

quickly responded to Liverpool to the ex-
tent of ten points, but as very few peo-

seriously the entire advance was lost
