Tie Democratic Problem.
The problem of who is to be the
nominee of the Democratic party for
President, has been giving the Re-
publicans much greater worry than
1t has Democrats. There is no doubt
a difference of opinion among Demo-
Gratis of who should be nominated, but
the more important question is, who
can be elected. When the conven-
ton meets next summer and 1t can be
shown that any good Democrat will
be able to carry enough electoral
votes to win, lie Will be nominated be-
yond question. 1t must be remember
ed that the rule that requires two
thirds majority of n Democratic con-
vention to nominate makes 1t toler-
ably certain that the candidate will
he acceptable to the great mass of
the party.
The most serious question that the
Democrats will have TO solve Is
platform that will clearly express the
issues upon which the campaign must
be fought and upon which the candi-
date must stand. The platform must
ha agreed mon before the bal,otinp
for candidates begins and only ma.
jority of the convention is necessary
to adopt 1t. When the delegations

Tuesday afternoon, from 1 to 4
p. m, during which time instru-
mental and vocal solos, and DUETS
were rendered by those present.
A few of which we will make men
ton. "The Armourer," was sung
by Mr.. E. G. Bell, as he alone
sings it, his rendering of this very
beautiful and classic selection
showing much study on the part
OF this polished artist; a piano
solo The Brooklet," by Heller,
played by Miss Sarah c. Weston;
this selection, too, fell in the hands
of one who showed much ability.
Soprano solo, "The Violets," +" sung
by Miss M. w. Smoot; this num-
Der was loudly applauded, and dis
played very pleasing voice; "Ha-
CARS Plea to Abraham" was read
by Madame Slade, and while L
have heard her in this particular
selection before, never did she ap-
pear to a better advantage, and
her every word and gesture had
true art. Her comic selection, pic
turing a bashful boy, was good.
The duett, 'Dusky Maid" sung
by Madame and Master Slade,
was applauded again and again
and very highly enjoyed by
all. keep your eye on this lad. "
Next we were entertained by Mr..
Maurice J. Brooks, our guest.
We are not claiming any belt for
this young man, for to use his
own words, his study has been
confined to his off hours from his
position, this alone is a demon
stration of what can be accom-
plished by those who are willing
to toll and spin; the three selec-
tions were ''Air de Ballet, No 2,
"Chaminade in the Woods,
"Godier,' and Scotch air by Nc
DOwell, y the latter gave Mr.
Brooks an excellent opportunity
to display his fine touch and eX-
traordinary memory, as he did
not use the sheet at all. We pre-
dict for this young man a bright
musical future; his ability and
mOdesty go hand in hand.

DO NOT WEAR A LONG FACE.
It Is Great Handicap in All Busi-
 ness and Social Relations.

The man who looks as if he had lost his last friend is in no danger of being crushed by the jam of new ones unless he cheers up" People are not going out of their way nowadays to associate with the man of mournful and melarl- choly appearance. They are afraid he will tell them his troubles and they steer clear of him as they all have plen- ty of their own. The most universal cause of the forlorn and hopeless appearance today Is dys- pepsia. It units a man for every duty of life and causes him to become despond- ent and gloomy and necessarily looks do not belle his feelings. He appears cast down and dejected and becomes a burden to himself and humanity in general.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the dys- peptic's certain relief. They do the work that his stomach is unable to do and by relieving that organ of it's burdens, per init 1t to regain its health and strength and again become active and useful in its functions. They contain all the es- sential ingredients that enter into the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they actually take up the work and do it just as healthy. sound stomach would,
 By this means a man can go right ahead with his work and eat enough to keep him in proper working condition. His system

 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act naturally because they contain natural digestives. The principal component parts are aseptic pepsin. malt dlastase and other ingredi- ents with like properties that do the work regardless of the condition of the stonI- ach. There Is no unnatural or violent dis turbance of the digestive organs as the result of their action. In fact, the exist ence of the stomach is entirely forgot ten as soon as they have had time to be- gin their operations. They also possess very curative and healing properties and assist the stomach in getting we'll while relieving it of it's work. They perform the duties Of both nurse and physician.

PLANS FOR SUBURBS
COUNCIL AGAIN ACTING ON THE
 EXTENSION ACT.
Mr. Hubbard Paid for His Lots and Plans for School Houses Accepted by the City
 Fathers.

The Montgomery City Council at it's meeting Monday night took official cogni- zance of the decision of Judge A. D. Sayre of the City Court that the Greater Mont- somery Act was constitutional
 The Council, in the light of the decision cleared up matters relating to the an. nextd territory which were sclouded by the suit, attacking the validity of the Greater Montgomery act.
 First of all; the Council by resolution authorized the payment of money to ". H. Hubbard for the lots at the corner of Finley Avenue and Lawrence Streets, which are to be held as a site for the building of a school house for the chill dren of South Montgomery. The city agreed to take these lots last summer, but the suit against the validity of the act blocked matters, and Mir Hubbard had not been paid for his lots
 In communication to the Council re- gently, he urged that he be paid inti- mating that he would otherwise be com pelled to enter suit against the city to compel compliance with the contract.
 Alderman Gunter presented the reso- lution passed by the Council authorizing the payment of Mir. Hubbard for the lots.
 The ordinance appropriating the money to pay Ausfeid & Chapman for drawing up the plans for the suburban school buildings was passed by the Council. The amount carried by the ordinance was re. duced in its passage to $750. in view of the fact that the buildings will cost less than was originally intended. This matter had also been held up.
 By resolution offered by Alderman Gunter, the city returned to the Fourth National Bank its certified check for $500 which was given as a condition of the purchase by the bank of the $5O,OOO bonds Issued by the city to build the new school houses The bonds were taken by the bank subject to their approval by ths banks attorney. The bank later notified the city that upon the advice of its at- torney it would not take the bonds.
 The city hesitated to give up the trade and for awhile held up the $500. q
 The Gunter resolution which Mir. Gun ter said was approved by the Judiciary Committee after a conference with the City Attorney, was adopted by the Coun- cil and the incident was closed.
