BINGHAM HAS A WORD
TAKES HIS ELECTION FEoM OF
 FICE PHrLoSoPHICALLY.
Says the President is No Longer in Favor of Building Up Respect able Republican Party
 in the South.

Birmingham, Nov. B.-tSpecial. .)-Hon.
 Julian H. Bingham. late Collector of Revenues in Alabama. who was forced | te resign by President Roosevelt for his participation in the formation and organi- zation of the lilly white" Republican
 party of this State, today stated that in
 his opinion the movement would be kept up and the party built up on the lines laid out.
 As to his resignation he said: Tt Is admitted that the course twas
 adopted in order to- propitiate colored men, not perhaps that they cared espe- eisliy for these living in Alabama, but the negroes of the North were clamoring for some action that would be convincing evidence of tiseir power. l am of the opinion that the President at one time favored a plan of putting the Republican party in the South on q higher plane, but he has suffered himself to be persuaded from this course and now we must work out eur own destiny unaided and unsup- ported, though know that we will find sympathy and encouragement In the North on the part of some men who have studied the Southern situation from Re- pvblican standpoint.~
 As to the future of the lily white" movement MT. Bingham says: "I do not see why the removal of any individual member of the organization should affect 1t, and I am satisfied that 1t woll not in- iuence its future in the least. The Re publican party is thoroughly and legally organized and there can be no other organization. am of tSe opinion that the next convention held two gears hence, will be controlled by the same iniuencs which controlled the last one."
 MT. Bingham will go into business S2r himself as soon as he has turned the ofice over to his successor, Mir. J. O. Thompson.

Mother. of Blind Tom Dying.

Charity Wiggins, the mother or the famous musician. Blind Tom, lies speech less and sightless and is slowly passing away in a small house in Tenth Alley and Twenty fourth Street this city. She was born more than 90 years ago on the plantation of General James Bethune, near Columbus, Ga. who had more than 200 slaves on his place. Blind Tom fifty years ago used to toddle around the old Bethune mansion and when the white folks were not near he played on the young misses piano. General Bethune heard him one day and started with the negro on an exhibition tour. Last April the mother of Blind Tom was brought to Birmingham by her two daughters and she has been lying motionless almost ever since. For a while the old negress lived with her son in New York, but she desired to return South and went to Columbus.

Insana Man in Court.

An exciting scene for while interfered with the machinery of the Inferior Grim inal Court this afternoon when a negro, giving his name at different times as High Henry, Frank Kimball and Henry Armstrong, entered the court room from the cage expostulating and shaking his whole body as if some great peril were impending and he was trying to avoid it.
 The charge against him was disorder ly conduct, but he had not appeared be- fore the court before he began to cry aloud They didn't give Justice." and other yells less distinct
 Officer J. Curry sprang and caught the defendant, who then grabbed the desk of the judge and struggled in a most vio- lent manner. Finally he broke loose and dashed for the outer door and came very near escaping, being prevented by Curry. who quickly nabbed the negro and stopped him after being dragged for many feet.
 The case was nol-prossed on account of the deceased condition of the defendant, who after regaining his mental equili- brium, was released.

President In Detroit.

DETROIT. Mich, Sept 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's two days visit to De
troit came TO an end last evening at the
conclusion of banquet rendered him
in Light Guard arnory by the Spanish
War Veterans, the opening of whose
third annual reunion he attended in
the morning. 1t was brilliant event.
Nearly 500 men sat at tables on the
floor of the big armory. and the CALLER
les were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity.
When the president rose to begin his
address. which was the first of the
evening. he received an ovation. The
men on the floor stood up and cheered
again and again. while the clappng of
hands from the gallery was like the
crackle of musketry.
In the afternoon President Roosevelt
participated in and afterward reviewed
the military parade, which was the
greatest demonstration of the sort ever
seen in the city, with the exception of
the G.. \. r. parade during the national
encampment here eleven years ago.
Never were such crowds seen in the
streets. and never was Il man given a
greater popular ovation in this city
than the president received.
1t is estimated that more than 150,-
600 people We're jammed into the
streets along which the parade passed.
