Appreciative Audiences.

Among the many evidences of Birm-
ingham's musical culture is the fact that
virtuosos are listened to attentively and
applauded with discrimination, remark
ed Mr.. Henry Taylor Stats
The audience which greeted Madame
Bloomfield-Zeisler Tuesday night was in
many respects a model of decopum and
attention. 1t was a representative au-
dience and a large percentage of the
people who composed it enjoyed Madame
Zeisler's brilliant execution.
''The same music lovers will attend the
concert by Emma Nevada and her COM
pany of artists tomorrow night. Although
only a comparatively few Americans are
educated in the art and science of music
the majority know good from mediocre
work. There was hardly man or WOO
man in Madame Zeisler's audience that
did not appreciate all the strong points
in the artists playing and yet not many
could criticise 1t in detail"

KING SEEKS GOLDEN CRADLE.

From the Springfield Republican
It is related of James B. Eads, the en-
gineer of the st. Louis bridge and other
great works, that some years ago he
made this prediction concerning the city
of st. Louis: Zone of these days this will
be the passing point of two enormous
channels of trade. The one will be an iron
way over the great west, the other a
waterway down the Mississippi, across
the isthmus and up the Pacific. The one
will represent speed, the other economy,
and the conflict between the two will
have all the bitterness of fratricidal
war"

PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED.

From the New York Advertiser.
The King of Sweden has offered $500
to the finder of a cradle with curious
history. In 1720 a German prince sent to
Queen Ufrica Eleanora of Sweden
cradle of solid gold as a christening pres
ent for her child. The ship containing the
present was driven by a terrible gale on
the shores of the island of Tjorn, where
it became a total wreck. The inhabitants
of the island massacred the crew and
pi1laged the ship, but the cradle was
saved and now lies buried in lonely part
of the island.

the deficient thirty-nine:

What's the matter of such counties
as Colbert, Greene Morgan, Butler,
Hale, Marshall, DeKalb, Franklin, Ma
con and Pike? Each and every one of
them hold enterprising towns, and
these towns should take steps to or
ganize and establish cotton mills. Ala
bama can never become a great cotton
manufacturing State if towns like
Troy, Tuskegee, Russellville, Fort
Payne, Guntersville, Greensboro,
Greenville, Decatur, Eutaw and Tus-
cumbia will not take hold and build
mills. Each of these towns could
readily build a 5000-spindle mill this
year, by securing at home a part Of
the capital, leaving the rest to distant
capitalists, who are always ready to
invest in an enterprise that the home
town is interested in and will con-
duct. BY securing from 100000 to $780,
900 at home each Of these towns could
readily secure a 100000 mill. This is
what Georgia and the two Carolinas
have done, and Alabama lags behind
because all will not lend a helping
hand. The towns named are the chief
delinquents, and not one of them has
a good excuse to render to the State.

REPLIES TO BISHOP POTTER.

New York Letter In Chicago Tribune.
DR.. Louis Albert Banks at Grace Meth
odlst Church recently replied to the re-
marks concerning the, prohibition move
ment made by Bishop Potter and DR..
Rainsford on Monday last at the Church
Club, and incidentally called upon the lat
ter to make a public apology to the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
when Bishop Potter says the prohi-
bition movement Is a fraud, a gross
fraud. and failure, have something to
say to him." said DIR. Banks. 1.-THE State
of Maine has been trying the prohibition
of the liquor traffic for an entire genera
ton, and the majority in favor of its
ing. To say that prohibitionists are
frauds is unworthy of a man of Bishop
Potters standing and caliber an as
sault upon the Christian character Of men
who are as honest as he. and many of
them as intelligent. To say that the pro-
hibitfon principle is wrong Is to attack
Almighty God. He saw fit to issue the
first command and to endorse tho princi-
pie of prohibition.
And now comes DR.. Rainsford with the
startling declaration that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Is doing the
devils work.
Some months ago DR.. Raihsford in
an address on a similar occasion, uttered
words so abhorrent to good taste and
which aroused such torrent of public
indignation that he felt called upon to
put a card In the newspapers frankly ac-
knowiedging that he had spoken mad
visedly with his lips. Every one thought
this was wise and honorable thing to
do. The good doctors lips have played
him false again. Another apology is de-
manded by the occasion. No man ever
uttered q statement SO abhorrent to the
moral sense of the Christian people of
this nation as did DIR. Rainsford when
he said that the members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union were doing
the DEVILS work In defending the Sab
bat1l aaaiHst the invasion Of saloons.
