scHwAB's NEW YORK MANSION.
Overlooking the Hudson 1t VIII Rival
the Carnegie Mansion.

New York Letter in the Chicago Chron-
ice
Andrew Carnegie's splendid new resi-
dence on upper Fifth avenue is to have
rival in the home soon to be erected
on the West side for his protege, Charles
M. Schwab, president of the United States
Steel corporation
Plans for Mr.. Schwab's city home have
been completed and it will cost about
two and half millions and stand on
plot for which Mr.. Schwab paid $685., 900
about year ago. House and site there
fore, will represent an investment Of
more than $S,S5oOoo.
Ever since the young president of the
billion dollar steel trust bought the block
bounded by Riverside drive, West End
avenue, Seventy-third and Seyenty-fourth
streets, there has been much speculation
as to what he would do with it. One re-
port was that he had bought the land
merely as an investment. All doubt as to
his purpose has now been set at rest and
the bureau buildings have been consulted
about the final plans for the mansion Mr..
Schwab will build.
Following the example of Mr.. Carnegie
the steel king will have a city residence
with ample ground all about. His new
home will be 15Ox100 feet and the house
will stand in the center of the block.
There will be a fine frontage on Riverside
drive, overlooking the Hudson. and the
grounds on each of the other sides will
be laid out magnificently. The house
will be four stories in height and is ex-
pected to be completed by Christmas
next. year. The New York orphan asy-
lum. which has stood on the site for
many years. is being demolished and or
ders have been given that work for Mr.
Schwab's mansion begin at once

If THIS BE ALL.

By Anne Bronte.
o Cod if this indeed be all
That Life can show to me;
If on my aching brow may fall
No refreshening dew from Thee
If with no brighter light than this
The lamp of hope may glow,
And can only dream of bliss,
And wake to weary woe
II friendships solace must decay,
When other joys are gone,
And love must keep so far away,
While l go wandering on
Wandering and toiiing without gain,
The slave OF others will,
With constant care and frequent pain,
Despised. forgotten still;
Grieving to look on vice and sin,
Yet powerless to quell
The silent current from Within
The outward torrents swell:
While all the good l would impart,
The feelings l would share,
Are driven backward to my heart.
And turned to NORWOOD there:
If clouds must ever keep from sight
The glories of the Sun,
And / must suffer Winters blight
Ere Summer is begun
If Life must be so full of care,
Then call me soon to Thee!
Or give me strength enough to bear
My load of misesS,

A BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Let every Democrat be as good as any
other Democrat" Then neither primary.
convention nor government itself needs
attention. All men in Alabama being
Democrats. and all Democrats equal to
the same thing, because equal to each
other. all men are in harmonious unity to
start on; self-regulating as If dropped
down from on high; demonstrations OF
nature, unaiterable as the heavens above
the earth below.
For political argument, all men in Ala
bama are Democrats. The bachelor of
forty-five winters, however, with pride of
ancestry but with no hope of posterity,
is quite a different Democrat from the
Democratic husband and father repre-
senting family numbering a dozen souls.
The Democrat with one leg in the aims
house and the other in debt is quite
different Democrat from he who owns
prosperous home; who goes to a gainful
occupation daily upon a fun breakfast;
who supports the church, the school. the
doctor ard the lawyer.
Because Democrats are of varied uuali-
ties we need government and to begin
ofi government we ncSu polltlCdl party
regulated to express the wants and pro-
vide the protection required by the mi
nority of Democrats In their ceaseless
struggle for truth. Justice and the con-
stitution as against the majority.
1 beg to submit the view that safe
basis of representation in the Democratic
party of Alabama, under existing condi-
tions, may be found in the consolidation
of three elements of population. Consol-
date into one the following three in each
county and apportion representation
upon he agg1 egace thus obtained, to-
wit: a. Population entire without regard
to race. age or condition; (2) white popu-
lation; 60 registered voters.
I cite for purpose of illustration two
black belt counties OF extreme type and
two corresponding white counties:

Unless sweet sixteen gets married IL

A girl who likes to wear a bathing suit

Very few men understand women well
enough not to try % understand them.
Some parents are so needless about the

a man from the Coal City neighborhood,

what has been done is nothing to what

years.
The purchase of the East and West
by the Seaboard Air Line has been
great thing for our section. New capital

ment along the line of the road"

IRON the Enterprise Enterprise.


The state committee is called to meet
next week. and the eyes of the state are
turned toward that meeting. The impress
sion and general belief is that the COM
rnittee personally favors a convention for
the nomination of state candidates, and
that it will order a primary on account
of the almost unanimous demand Of the
people and press of the state This being
the case the people are indu1ging in ex-
pressions of distrust, fearing the commit
tee will leave something to be adjusted
TO the convention in a way to defeat the
objects of the primary. This would be
unfortunate and result In danger We
hope the committee will act wisely and
preserve harmony in the ranks of the
party.

Some of the state papers and some of

claim that the state executive committee
will call a convention. Notwithstanding
the very evident preference of three
fourths Of the Democrats Of the state
for a primary. The Evening Star does
not prestme to tell the state committee
what 1t must do. The committee is com
posed of good men who know their duty
and they need no advice from this or any
other paper. 1t is within the province of
a newspaper. however, to tell the COM
mittee what the sentiment is in the sec
ton III which that paper circulates and
the Evening Star simply wishes TO say
that, the sentiment In Calhoun County,
among the Democratic voters of the
county. is very strongly in favor of a
state Democratic primary. Unless pri-
mary is ordered there will be discomfort,
and discomfort breeds trouble in the
party.
