IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWdt R
Rnhert Burns lindsay.

Tn the death of ex-Governor Robert Burns Lindsay Alabama loses one of her strongest and most notable men, said a cultured citizen of Birmingham who had knows the deceased for thirty years or more.
 Born in Dumfrieshire and educated at the University of St Andrew, MT Lind say possessed all the sterling traits of the Scotchman, but coming to the United States at the age of IS and making his home in the South he developed readily into true American and true South erner. He had a kind heart and In his genial moods was most engaging
 His first home in his adopted country was in North Carolina, but at the age of 24 he removed to Alabama and settled in Tuscumbia, and Tuscumbia had been the place of his residence ever since
 "Mr Lindsay made the law his profes- sion, and like most young lawyers in the early days, he entered the political arena He took part in some fierce political con- tests and always came out of discussions with high credit to himself. He was not only man of noble Integrity and uncom- mon grit but he was a logical debater and his opponents found 1t difficult to get the best of him in an argument. Although he was in politics almost continuously for nineteen or twenty years, he took lit- tie part in public affairs after quitting the Governors office in 1872
 MT. Lindsay had not only the adVan- tages of early training along classical lines, but he was a close student all his life and in general scholarship ranked with distinguished Alabamians of the lJabez Curry type. While he never for got his Greek or Latin, his reading was largely in the realms of history. meta- physics and the English classics. lie knew the Scottish poets by heart and he had memorized a large part Of Shake speare And coming to those deep phil osophers who exercised such a powerful influence over the study of psychology and added such great luster to the name of Scotland as the land of metaphysics Thomas Reid, Dugald Stewart and Sir William Hamilton - Mr. Lindsay took great delight in them. and when in schol- arly company discussed their works In manner that was singularly luminous
 What a pity it is that the young men of our day are not grounded in that wholesome, stimulating philosophy Of the Scottish school. MT. Lindsay profited by his knowledge of metaphysics, and so might any man of sufficient intellectual force to apprehend abstract reasoning.

MIR. TURNER AGAIN.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 Senator Turner of the state of Wash ington has made fierce attack on the Republican party for taking control of the Philippines, and thus preventing the anarchy which would have brought in some of Europe's big powers. Perhaps Turner thinks it would be better for the Filipinos if they were under the control of England, Germany or Russia than to be under the sway of the Americans Tur- ner, of course, is a political accident He represents the Populist craze which had it's little day in the states which were afflicted by it. and which has been re- pudiated with great cheerfulness and em- phasis by Turner's state. After he drops out of the Senate in March of next year the places which know him now will know him no more forever.

advantage and to the worlds progress that they should.
 The new alliance lifts Japan rapidly up as a worlds pov CT. She is not rich today, but she is gaining financial strength, and Englandfs backing is very needful in the present condition. What Japan had to fear was a Russian French attack. If this should happen now England by tho terms of the treaty becomes Japan's ally at once, and vice versa. Both Japan and Eng land are greatly strengthened in the Far East, and Russia has been notified to keep hands off both China and Corea.
 The treaty stands for five years, and if it prove advantageous, as no doubt it will. it will doubtless be continued indefinitely. Japan recognizes Eng lands interests in China, and England reciprocates as to Japan's interests in Corea, and also in China. The new treaty will be favorably received in this country, for every check put on Russian aggression in Manchuria is a gain to American trade in that great province. The treaty is both a guar antee of the peace of the world, and of the integrity of China, and of the independence of Corea so far as Rus sia is concerned.

Of Coca-CoIa.

"The demand for coca-cola increases right along, and Birmingham alone will this year consume at least 5000 gallons of the syrup that is used to make the pop ular beverage said the proprietor of soda fountain last night.
 '"The agitation against coca-cola be- cause of imaginary injurious effects has about come to an end. The Legislature of Georgia took up the question, and some of the cranl1s wanted to enact a law pro- hibiting the sale of coca-cola, but the state chemist analysed the syrup and re- ported that it contained no deleterious matter.
 "Coca-col is made of aromatic extracts and its active principle is citrate of caf- fein, which is the active principle of cof- fee. Coca-cola is a boon to temperance folks. It is gently stimulating, an6unless drunk to excess could not hurt any one. Coffee will shatter the nerves if one drinks too much of it, but used in moder- aton it is wholesome.
 Coca-cola is an Atlanta product. Its formula Is secret, and as it contains fifteen ingredients the soda water trade has never been able to reproduce it. All we know about it Is that it contains little caffein and that 1t is delicious drink. A great deal of stuff is sold for coca-cola that is not coca-cola. 1 cannot vouch for the effect of substitutes. They may be perfectly harmless, and no doubt are. But they are not as good to the taste as the real article. And drinkers of coca -cola soon learn the honest vendors who sell what they advertise

The Crowds That Come.

What is going on in Birmingham" asked a man when he was told by a hotel clerk last night that he could not get a room.
 Nothing in particular" was the reply ''but all the hotels have been filled for several weeks past"
 Birmingham has long been magnet for all sorts of people but not since the town was founded has there been such a steady coming of men who seek first class hotel accommodations as now.

ABOUT BIRMINGHAM.

From the Attalla Mirror.
 The man who writes the column "In Hotel Lobbies and Elsewhere" which appears daily in the Age-Herald, is one of the most versatile newspaper men in the state. He talks knowingly on any and all subjects. His wealth of general in- formation would seem to be illimitable. Tn Hotel Lobbies and Elsewhere" is by far the most pleasing feature of the Age Herald, which. by the way, is the popu- lar daily in this end of the state.

From the Demopolis Dispatch.

Speaking of eggs, the Age-Herald's lobby man, quoting from "a high author ity." says: If they are greased the mo- ment they are laid, and before they have cooled they will not become stale, flat or unprofitable." That would be a nice busi- ness, wouldn't it? A person would have to stand around with a bucket of grease and just as soon as the old hen manufac- lures the egg apply the grease brush. This might do if one had an egg ranch and a corps of help known as egg greasers."

over my wife and looked up the musical attractions. We heard some great music. We attended the opera twice and had a treat in listening to Carmen and The Huguenots We went to a Sunday night concert at the Metropolitan opera house and heard Carrie Bridewell and a fine chorus in Stabat Mater. Mss Bridewell was in excellent form and my wife and I felt proud to think that she was a Bir- mingham woman.
 But while we were listening to the chorus we agreed that as strong as 1t was it was not quiet up to Guekenberger' s festival chorus in attack and shading. appreciated more fully than ever what a great thing 1t was for Birmingham to have for it's musical leader a man of MT.

 We missed hearing Kubelik, but we heard Gregoriwttz at a symphony concert at Carnegie Hall, and were much pleased with him. He is a wonderful violinist. Paur's orchestra was exceptionally good, too. I have seldom listened to better symphony effects.
 On our way back we stopped in Wash ington and attended high mass last Sun day at one of the large churches. We heard the choir sing Gounod's St. Cecelia mass. the same work that is frequently rendered in artistic style at St. Paul's i church, Birmingham. The preacher for the service was a Jesuit priest, and a most telling sermon he gave us. At the same mass we had the privilege of listen ing to Cardinal Gibbons in a stirring ad- dress of fifteen minutes. Coming back to the choir, the chorus was not up to St. Paurs, but the organ was one of the grandest instruments I have ever come across. and it was played by a master performer"
