CAUSES MUCH COMMENT.
Judge Caffee's Announcement Sur
 prises Montgomery Politicians.

Montgomery June 26.-(speciaD-The announcement of Judge Caffee for Gov ernor caused great surprise here. Inquiry among those who keep posted in politics fails to find any one who had any fore shadowing that he contemplated entering the race.
 Simultaneously with the announcement comes the information from Judge Caffee to a friend here, in no way confidential, that he has severed his connection with the Alabamian as Its editor. He says that he has made a fight for the people along high lines, and a primary being won for them his journalistic mission is complete Until that fight was won he kept ct the working oar in spite of bodily i'll health. but now he does not feel that his duty to the people calls for further sacrifice in that regard. His name, he says. will not appear at the mast head of the Alabamian in this weeks issue.

Senator Morgan's Bandsna,

Senator Morgan yesteroay exhibitsc the most remarkable colored handker- chief that ever flamed in the Senate chamber. It was cerise in hue, ladiss in the gallery yesterday oaid.
 1t was q violent kind of red, with a hint of pink and a subtle suggestion of purple as well. Some roses are near its hue. Also there are pluns in the autumn that are not very different. And 1t Is to be observed in ladies' shirt waists at times. It was . yard square.
 MT. Morgan read his speech during the entire afternoon. Senators generally did not remain in the chamber ard the gal leries were deserted. There was silence such as is seldom experienced during a session.
 The regular tones of Mir Morgan's voice seemed to add to rather than dis pol the peace of the occasion. Into this restful quiet MT. Morgan suddenly pro- jected the flame of his handkerchief The effect was indescribable. That there was a distinct and marked effect no one could question.

 Suspended horizontally from the roof of the Record building is flag pole, with gilt ball on the end of it. Last Monday night, when the big presses were rumbling and roaring down in the basement, a scared little mouse. rudely awakened from his nest somewhere under the caves, ran out on the halyard, and, reaching the end of the rope, 100 feet from the pave ment, ran back again. In the meantime the heavy wind and the rainstorm had twisted the ropes, and the mouse became bewildered. Back ward and forward he ran on his mar row support, and even at that hour 1t didn't take long for crowd of be- lated pedestrians to stop and watch him. In the glare of the electric lights a messenger boy discovered that he was a white mouse with pink eyes. For two hours the little rodent per formed his tight-rope walking stunt in mid-air, not seeming to mind the rain, and then running down the pole, he disappeared in the darkness of the roof

OPELIKA.
William A. Andrews Placed in Involun-
 tary Bankruptcy.

opelka, June 6.-(Speeial.)- .)-Mr. Wil- liam A Andrews, the largest contractor in east Alabama, was placed in involun- tPry bankruptcy yesterday at Montgom- cry by some of his creditors. MT An crews has for years conducted the largest manufacturirg business here and cone more for the city than any man in it. Tn a statement issued some weeks ago to is creditors he placed his assets at $19,50O, with indebtedness of $12,623.
 MT Andrews offered to turn everything oyer to the creditors and save the cost of the court, but they could not agree among themselves. The case is set for July at Montgomery, and an order has been issued to the sheriff of this county restraining him from selling the property of Andrews. which he has levied on under numerous executions. The closing down of this plant will be a sad blow to the city. It is caused by dull business and competition.
