'I1ere's look ing at youv' would be equal to a circus, and we don't think a spree would find many advocates under such circum- stances Perhaps it would help the tenn perance cause along if this method of drinking should become popular, and that would be a good thing. When tabloid restaurants are succeeded by tabloid sa- looms, the thing will be getting down to a fine point.
 But there is one point of view from which something good may be hoped for. and real benefit to mankind result. If food can really be so condensed that an ounce or less will take the place of an ordinary meal, 1t will be an incaiculable blessing to those who undertake long voyages in unexplored regions, where food may give out and none be obtain able. If all that Is claimed for this food is realized, it will be possible for those who undertake long voyages, either by sea or land. to carry with them an almost unlimited supply of food in small com pass. so that the danger of starvation will be reduced to . minimum. All that will then be needed, as we view 1t. is condensed water, and that must follow or science is a failure.

All sorts of sounds cmanated from the Montgomery Theatre last night and pc destrians passing that way got the im- precision that a menagsrfe had gone into winter quarters in the old playhouse.

NEGROES IlTMIoRATINa. In The Eufaula q. T.) Journal of las Friday is this news item:

The colored immigration has begun. Saturday about seventy-five colored wo- men with babies and bundles arrived here from the South, mostly from Ala bama. There were only . few men in this bunch of color. but babies predom- mated. One strapping coiored girl march ed up the street working an accordion, and she was trying to play and sing. Go Away Back and Sit Down.
 It may seem a little singular for Ala bama negroes to emigrate to Indian Ter ritory, but if they are determined to leave the only portion of the Union where they may expect fair treatment, they will do much better to 90 among the friendly Indians than to trust themselves among the unfriendly whites of the North and East There has always been some sort of affinity between the red and black races on this continent. In the olden times, when many of the Southern In- dians owned negro slaves. there was it- tle difference between master and man. The negro, it is true. was not looked Pn as a warrior, but he was hardly treated as a slave. Occasionally. too. they fought with and for their nominal masters, as more than once occurred during the Sem mole war.
 Eufaula is very nearly in the same lati- tude as Memphis. and the Territory occu- pies about the latitude of Tennessee and Northern Arkansas, so that the negroes who go there from Alabama will not ex- perience very great change of climate. The cotton crop of the Territory is no in- considerable item. and corn, wheat, po- tatoes and even watermelons grow there as they do here, so that the Alabama negro will find, himself almost at home among the Creeks, so far as climate and surroundings go; but we are of the opin- ion that they will do much better to re- main at home where they are best known and best treated. And that girl with the accordeon was typical specimen of the race If she can find a place to set down and draw some kind of music from her instrument. she will be happy.

MIR. CODY BANQUETED
ENJoxABLE oocAsIoN AT FIRST
 BAPTIST CHURCH.
Sunday School Compliments Super intendent Who Has ServedSFen Years-1any Interesting and
 Instructive Addresses.

One of the most enjoyable occasions of the last night of the old year was the reception and dainty banquet rendered Michael Cody by the officers and teach- CTS of the First Baptist Church Sunday school in honor of the tenth anniversary or his superintendency of that school.
 The banouet was served in the lecture room of the church. It had been trans- occasion. The rostrum was decorated wltn palms, ferns and other potted plants. The large stone columns, tho chandeliers and the railing around the rostrum presented an attractive appear ance with bamboo and smilax entwined about them. The tables were made beau tful with bouquets of American Beauty roses and other cut flowers. The whole scene was made overwhelmingly attractive by the mellow glow of scores of tinted
 Mr. Cody assisted by Mrs. Cody and several ladies of the Church received in front of the rostrum.
 Covers were laid for eighty-five per- sons and that number of guests were dates '1Ssl-lss4, 1SSS-lSO2," showing the years which Mr. Cody has served the First Baptist Sunday School as its Su- perintendent.
 Three large tables in the shape of an
 
 At the head of the table Dr. Stakely presided. On either side of him MT. and Mrs Cody sat and next to them Mrs. Stakely. the pastors wife, was seated Judge Joseph Carthel also occupied seats at this table. M. Cody. ST.. of Dothan. the venerable father of MT. Cody, also sat at this table.
 Dr. c. A. Stakely stated briefly the ori- tendent of the Sunday School and told of the great work which MT. Cody has accomplished during the ten years he has had charge of the school.
 Miss Lucille Townsend favored the guests with violin solo after which Fred s. Ball presented greetings from the other Sunday Schools of the city.
 Mir. Ball was followed by Rev. Edward Ellerbe Cobbs, who spoke on Our Mis- sion Schools" Judge Joseph Carthel interest of the State. The addresses were frequently applauded and they were de- livered in happy and instructive way. A quartette composed of w. l.. Van Pelt. Frank Lockwood, Marshall King and P. J.

AT M'DoNALD'S THEATRE.
Two Performances Yesterday of Car
 penter's "Quo Vadis.''

!, Two performances of Carpenters yer sion of Quo Vadis'' were given at Mo Donalds Theatre yesterday and last night and they were witnessed by fairly good sized audiences. which were appar- entlv we'll satisfied with the entertain ment.
 Mr. Carpenter has surrounded the play with an abundance of special scenery and it is produced by a large company. Some of the actors are fairly good and others are not so good. MT. Young gave very intelligent rendition of Marcus Ninicius. He has a splendid physique and a goood voice. If he did not strive so hard for effect, his Vinicius would be much more acceptable. MT. Farnham. who had the part of Petronius, Is perhaps the most finished actor in the company. His reading was good and his conception of the part is intelligent. Miss Lillian Lancaster was the Lygia of the cast. At times her work was highly meritorious She possesses ability, a good voice, at tractive face and figure and her emo tional shades were far superior to some of the players with whom she is in company.
 The costumes were entirely adequate and the stage detail was good. "Quo Vadis' was the most pretentious produc- tion presented at McDonald's this sea- son and upon the whole it gace satis- faction

CONDENSED FOOD. AND DRINK.

If The Advertiser readers were asked to tell what "a tabloid restaurant" is. we expect about ninety-nine per cent. of them would baik and fail to score. Yet there Is one in New York and one in Brooklyn. and We are informed that a tabloid restaurant is one where food is served in condensed form" Most readers are familiar with various forms of can ned foods. compressed meats. condensed soup stock and the like, but this goes a long ways beyond anything of that kind, and is intended to do for the table what room. As a powerful dose of medicine can be crowded into a lozenge or a cap sule, so it is claimed that a full meal for a man may be crowded into one or two lozenges or capsules, which can be carried in the pocket and eaten at leisure with swallow of water. That is what these restaurants propose to do for those who do not care to take their meals on the run.
 This plan may do pretty we'll for a
 man WHO lS III d UT TUT tbt tIdN- eler, but wouldn't it make a swell dinner look like the proverbial thirty cents? To see a company of men and women seated at long table with tiny dish of tablets and capsules and a glass of water at each plate. and nothing to follow. would be about the frostiest proceeding imagin- able A Barmecide feast would be noth- ing compared to it. It would be possible, indeed. to serve such dinner in courses, but to have a pretentious waiter coming around with a plate or dish and nothing but a button on it would lower the tenn perature of any dinner party several de- grees below zero.
 And when would the wine and the toast master and the after-dinner speaker come in? Wine might be sandwiched in between capsules and a man of nerve and imagination might propose a toast. but we should like to see a brilliant speaker stand up to make speech after swallow ing a lot of tasteless buttons. He and his hearers would all the time be won- dering when the dinner would begin to swell and how long it would be before they would begin to get over the sense of aching void inside them. We don't believe such a dinner would fill the bill at all. The projectors of this new plan of satisfying the inner man promise great things for it, but we gravely doubt if 1t becomes popular.
 But the advance in feeding does not stop here, for it is proposed to apply the principle to drinks as we'll as foods! AL ready we have been told that beer can be condensed so that a glass full can be made from a small tablet, and now we learn that a Norwegian chemist has in- vented a method of reducing milk to pow der so that 1t may be packed into small capsules. The next thing. perhaps, will be a whiskey lozenge, so that man can carry a healthy supply of jags in his vest pocket; but We think these condensed drinks will prove even less popular than the tabloid foods. It would not be so ob- jectionable in case of milk as in the other drinks. True. We would never know just what sort of milk we were drinking. but
 We are often in that condition now. but
 no man of a convivial turn of mind would ever be satisfied to eat a tablet instead of taking square drink. A couple of jolly fellows alternately poking buttons

Senator Bailey. in letter to a friend in Texas, urges the nomination of MT. German for President, on the ground that he is the most likely to defeat David B. Hill. His opposition to Senator Hill is that 1t would be fatal mistake for our Party to take as its candidate in 1904 a man who did not support its candidate in 1896. It Is generally understood among his friends. that MT. Hill did vote for Bryan in 's6. and spoke for him in 1900. If MT. Bailey's proposition holds good as to MT. Hills alleged failure to support Mir. Bryan in 1896. what becomes of Mir. Bryan's open espousal cf Weaver in 1892 and refusal to vote for MT. Cleveland. He has twice borne the banner since then. and if his refusal to support the nominee in 1892 has been condoned. certainly it has not In the mouth of his friends to make the point against others.

Why should Congress be asked to pay the bills of the surgeons who attended President Mckinley? and why should those bills be larger than they would have been in the case of a private citi- gen? are questions which are being dis enssed with a good deal of interest just now. One reason given for asking the Government to foot the bills Is that the charges are much larger than Mrs. Nc ISinley is able to pay. but why? Is not the life of a private citizen as valuable as that of d President? If it is, should not the price be as high in one case as the other2

That the ground in New England is pretty well covered by railroads is evil denced by the fact that only twenty-two miles were built in 1901 in all six of the States comprising that division of the Union.
