SOME THING NEW.

ls what we're after all the time and we've just struck new novelty. Ii you have photographs of friends whom you love and wish to keep for all time, we are prepared to fix you out in first class style. When you purchase tea s,r coffee at our store ask for card explaining all about the pictures, then Judge for yourself whether you want %hem or not. They are indestructi- ble. no glass to break, water, dust or sledge hammer will not hurt them ln the least. You can hang them up or we'll fit them out with easels. we will give you . beautiful medallion Of any picture you bring to us. How ever, we reserve the right to refuse any picture of the things known as scsbs, who are running the trolley cars: we have no time to spend on such excuses of mankind. By the way, It's pretty near time the trolley strike was settled. Nobody knows better than the superintendent that the boys are worth $225 per day and that ten hours is long enough to work, but the boys have other demands which he doesn't like. We'll, if that's the case, why the dickens doesn't he say: Boys, throw out the other provisions and we'll give you the pay and the hours. Of course, if he wants all the provis- ions thrown out he might as well come into our store to try and buy pound Of poor tea or coffee. which is impos- sible; impossible at

$1oe ,ooo MILEAGE IN PERIL,

From the New York World.
 Members of congress probably will have to worry along without mileage for the regular session. The amount involved is $1090O0
 1t is customary for congress to ap- propriate money for mileage for the sue ceedng sessions. This was done last winter and the funds were disbursed at the beginning of the extraordinary ses- sion. There is now no money available and additional legislation Is required.
 Speaker Cannon prevented adjourn ment of the extraordinary session. be- cause he did not believe the members should receive double mileage. It is ex- pected that sufficient strength will de- velop to pass the necessary mileage bill through the house, but it will be strong ly opposed by the senate. In this way punishment can be visited by the senate upon the house for failure to adjourn. Leading senators have clearly indicated their opposition to double mileage under the present circumstances.

Conventions Go West.

Of the twenty nominating conven- tions last held by the two chief parties of the country, nine were held in Chi cago, four in Cincinnati, three in St. Louis, three in Philadelphia, two in Baltimore. one in Minneapolis, one in Kansas City, and one in New York. Six were held in the east and fourteen in the west. and the tendency towards the holding of conventions in the west increases as time rolls on. The one convention held in New York in the last twenty years was the democratic convention that, in 1868, nominated Horatio Seymour.
 Chicago is more central than any seaboard city, but it is not as central as St. Louis or even Kansas City or Memphis. But centrality and mileage have little to do with the selection of a convention city. The city is selected that Hobbies for it, and that puts the biggest fund at the disposal of the convention and it's executive commit tee. The expenses of national con vention are heavy, and any money left over can of course be used to good advantage in the subsequent campaign. Practically speaking, therefore, the railroads and hotels and merchants of the most enterprising city get the prize and the eastern men do not seem in- clined to enter such a contest.

Cotton Exports.

The cotton exports of November in- cluded not only more bales than were ever exported in any previous Novem- Der, but they were in value greater than the cotton exports of any pre- vious month in the history of the cot ton trade. We sent out last month cotton to the value of $105, ,826,000. This is new record, and it is one that may not soon be exceeded.
 We are sending exceptionally large quantities of raw cotton to Europe. We sent more by 31 per cent in October and November than we sent in those months of last year. But we are send ing to China less goods than formerly. In the ten months ended with October our exports of cotton goods to China were in value but $S,5O0,O00, as against
 
 months of last year. There may be nothing significant in this loss in ex- ports, for Great Britain's exports fell off also. All cotton mill men who have a surplus beyond home trade turn to China, and the market in China may he flooded or which is more likely China has become fully supplied and is not buying as freely as she did in the years that followed her war with the powers. There are no signs that American cotton goods have fallen into disfavor in China, and the reported loss in exports to that country will prob ably prove but temporary.

Turkeys Scarce.

'There is a remarkable scarcity of tur- keys this season. said a produce man yesterday on Morris avenue. "I have just returned from a trip through Tennessee in search of Christmas shipments but have had rather poor luck. In fact the cry is going up In all parts of the land for more turkeys and I do not know what we are going to do for the big dinners we have been anticipating for so long. In Delaware the market has been in a precarious state for month or more and the situation does not seem to improve a the time draws near for the rush to be- gin. Just how the problem will be solved Is hard to say, unless some families will have to content themselves with the more humble chicken or pork. which is not bad.
 T noticed the other day that the em- ployes of the Standard oil company will not be presented with Christmas turkeys this year because they come so high. If the trust objects to the prices turkeys must indeed be hard to find. So far the Birmingham market has been fairly well supplied but dealers are puzzled to know how to get enough birds on hand to sup ply the Christmas demand"

MAY "cUT OUT" FOOTBALL,

From the Chicago Evening Post
 When President Eliot ventured to stg- gest that athletic sports in general are a trfe too violent for the ladies, he forgot to mention foot ball. and we suspect that this commission Is responsible for the in- troduetion of the game into feminine cir~ cles at Ann Arbor where a very sprightly and charming young woman has had her neck twisted while indulging in the fasci- mating pastime. We reld that as her companions started to swarm over her, as the ethics of the sport demand, they fortunately perceived her precarious con- dition, and stopping the merriment. com pelled her to lie still until physician arr rived. It will be remembered that ip tie masculin interpretation of the rules it is customary to stamp upon the prostrate body and be reasonably sure that life Is extinct before the physician and under taker are summoned. We do not under stand that there is any feeding of resent ment toward President Eliot for his fail- ure to specify foot ball as too much of a neck-twisting exercise for young ladies, but we gather from one thing and anoth- CT, together with few remarks idly dropped by members of the caulty, that the game will be discouraged as means of feminine physical culture. It begins to look as if woman has her limitations after all

The Panama Situation.

Our special Washington dispatch printed yesterday morning clearly in- dicates why the President is so anxious to have the Panama treaty confirmed immediately. He wants the influence of the tremendous cash expenditures and the great volume of patronage in the next presidential campaign. He wants this to offset the influence and the funds which the conservative bus mess interests of this country will con- tribute to the election of sturdy dem ocrat to the presidency next year.
 President Roosevelt has whipped the fight in his own party ranks. He will be the republican nominee for President next year. But he fears the result in the election. He fully real izes the popularity and strength of Ar thur Pue German before the people. He knows the business-the mercantile, manufacturing and producing interests of this country are strongly inclined toward German as against him, and he proposes to offset this with swol- len government commissary of funds and patronage to be derived from the Panama canal. Therefore his haste in seizing Panama, practically declaring war upon Colombia, and calling on congress to support him in his act. He declares himself ready to send ali the troops necessary to hold Panama, and has assumed to go much farther than his authority under the law war rants; believing that with Colombia practically in state of war against us, the American people will rush to his support He has the war with Spain over Cuba fresh in mind, and seeks to bring about rally on the part of the people to the support of the admins tration's act that he might benefit in the campaign for reelection.
 Had it been otherwise why should not the President have complied with the act of congress which authorized him to treat with Colombia for the rights to construct canal across Pan- anna? This act provided that in the

Talladeea County.

Dr. George A. Hill of Wynette, Talla- dega county. was in Birmingham yes terday making Christmas purchases and shaking hands with his numerous friends here His splendid plantation home is just four miles from the fiourishing town of Sylacauga. Asked as to conditions in his section, Dr. Hill said: We made the best corn and potato crop this year that has been produced in many years, and fell short, but the high price now ruling will make up the deficiency to those who were not in hurry to sell.'
 ''The town of Sylacauga," continued the doctor, ''is on what you might call a 'boom.' The merchants are doing a fine business; about six brick buildings are in course of erection and more to follow. The town will receive about 13,0O0 bales of cotton this season, which about doubles the receipts of the town of Talladega. Generally speaking, 1t is safe to say that our section is in a most prosperous con- diton, and our people are bending their energies for a still greater degree of prosperity"
 Dr. Hill is a member of the board of trustees of the Fourth District Agricul- tural and Mechanical school, located at Syllacauga, and left last night for Mont gomery, where that board meets today for the transaction of important business. He reports the school in a flourishing con. dition, with an attendance larger than that of any previous year

Travelled With Carrie Nation.

'I recently rode about 400 miles in the same Pullman car with Carrie Nation,'' said Birmingham man. And l was very much surprised to learn that she is a pleasant, good natured old woman.
 "She was as fond of a joke as anyone, and while she made a characteristic speech about a card game that was in progress in the car. she was otherwise agreeable.
 "There were four young fellows in our party and we talked to her a great deal. After we went to our own seats she fell asleep and we thought a joke would be in order.
 Securing all the beer and wine bottles we could find in the buffet we brought them in and piled them on the seats around her. When she awoke she was of course little irritated and threw the bottles in every direction. many of them going out at the window.
 After it was all over, though. she laughed and accused us of playing the trick and really seemed to enjoy it as much as we did"

Accidental Presidents.

By the death of the chief executive five icepresidents have been elevated to the chief office of the country John Tyler, Willard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and Theo- dore Roosevelt Barring the last named not one of them became the leader of his party and a successful contestant for nomination to the presidency. Not one of them succeeded himself. Tyler was not mentioned in the succeeding whig national conventions; General Scott readily defeated Milliard Fill more; General Grant was unanimously nominated at the end of Johnson's term. and MT. Blaine became the nomi- nee of his party despite the efforts of MT. Arthur to secure the nomination. Thus one and all were retired to pri- vate life
 Will MT. Roosevelt be an exception to the rule? If so, all precedent will be set aside, and precedent in this matter is unbroken. He undoubtedly will do better than his predecessors, because he will secure his party's nomination, but will he be elected? The New York Herald answers this question in the negative. and it presents these reasons

Petitions

Iowa has but little more population than Alabama, and is withal an agri. cultural state. Her roads are none of the best, and yet she had on December 16 sixteen hundred and forty-six routes in operation, and is seeking the estab- lishment of 359 more-a total of 20O5 routes, as against 406 all told in Ala bama. The disparity should not be per- mitted to continue. Alabama should wake up and at least 100 routes should be established in each and every dis trict. Georgia has 655 routes in opera tion, and Is asking for 434-a total of 1889 routes, and Georgia is an enter prising state. There are counties in Alabama that need twenty-five routes each. MT. Underwood has established thirty-two routes in Jefferson county alone, and he will soon have Bibb. Blount and Perry well supplied with routes if the people in those counties will aid him. Messrs. Clayton and Bowie are doing likewise, and Messrs. Thompson and Burnett are not far be. hind. The other districts should be brought up, and a general effort made to establish 1000 routes in this state.

Army Chaplains.

T hope the bill before congress provid- ing for the promition of army chaplains, after ten years service, to the rank of major, will pass" said a man who served several years with the regulars.
 ''The chaplains rank now as captains of infantry and their pay starts at $500, be- ing increased every five years until it reaches a maximum of $252O. Majors re- ceive $2500 a year, plus an increase until the pay reaches $3500.
 Many people may have an idea that army chaplains are chiefly ornamental of- ficers. but I have never seen one who did not more than earn his pay. He must be as well educated as the surgeon, and surgeons are in line for promotion through the higher grades until a brigadier geper- alshiD is reached"

Rural Delivery in Alabama.

Congressman Maddox of Georgia very properly called public attention to the fact that some single congressional districts in the middle west contain more rural free delivery routes than whole states in the south. He charged favoritism in the establishment of routes, and no doubt he had good grounds for the statements and charges he made.
 But the blame does not lie wholly at the doors of the postoffice depart ment. The people in some southern districts are not awake to the advant- ages of rural free delivery, and they have not taken the needful first steps. They have not placed themselves in communication with their member of congress, and they have not cooper ated with them in securing the estab- lishment of routes.
 Alabama is backward state in this matter, as the following table showing the state of things in each district on December 16 will explain:

for its faith in victory for the demo-

for it's faith in a victory for the demo- crats:
 'rhe struggle between the Platt and odell factions presents them with the best opportunity they have had since 1892 of carrying this state. Delaware,s republi- can ohgarchy is rent with dissensons. In Illinois there is intense dissatisfaction with the state administration. Maryland has again passed completely into control of the democrats. Rhode Island has twice elected a democratic governor In In- diana the democrats have carried several cities held by the republicans since the outbreak of Bryanism, and they have car ried all important city elections in Con neeticut while Boston is about to re- elect a democratic mayor almost with out opposition"
 MT Roosevelt undoubtedly will be nominated at Chicago, but the New York Herald presents enough facts to demonstrate that predecent will not be broken by his election to succeed him. self The next President will be a democrat unless all signs fail.
