Circumstances.

The endless road has many a sudden turn;
It's landscape changes ever and is gone:
Yet must the myriad thousands journey on
And many haply meet there who would learn
The pitfalls waiting and the dangers stern.
But while they palter, 10, the happy dawn
Is MONDAY, and a hopeful life is pawn
Unto the y~oiceless mystery of an urni
The men and things that round us congregate
Are sent there by the will and wish of fate.
We cannot say them nay, nor from the deep
OF n~othingness call them to good or i'll
4 ~preappointed way we take and keep.
Der self alone maintain supreme a will.

Miss shipIey at the Jefferson.

Miss Bertie K. shipley gave a dramatic recital at the Jefferson theatre last night. The recital was given for the benefit of the Newsboys Reading Room and club and Miss Shipley was assisted by local talent some of which were secured from the High school. The recital was not as well patronized as 1t deserved, regardless of the laudable object for which it was given. Miss Shipley was decided suc- cess as an elocutionist and Shakesperian reader she evinced rare talent and dra- matic art.
 The costumes were elegant and artisti- eally selected. The tableaux were im- pressive and beautiful.
 The children were well trained and their Flower Fete" evoked much ap- plause.
 The second part of the programme could have been more enlivened had it been interspersed with selections from Miss Shipley.

Morgan Should be Retained.

From the Chicago 1nter-Ocean, Rep.l
 It is announced from Washington that Senator Morgan will be retiu1 from the chairmanship of the sen5s committee on interoceanic canals and will be succeeded by Senator Hanna.
 The removal of Senator Morgan from the chairmanship of the canal committee at this juncture will be a mistake. MT. Morgan, more than any other senator, represents the non partisan isthmian canal sentiment of the American people.
 He has stood, through democratic and republican administrations, as the foremost advocate in the senate of an isthmian canal under American con trol. Before the committee on inter- oceanic canals was created he was chairman of the select committee on the Nicaragua canal. He was made chairman of the senate canal commit tee by republican votes. He should be continued as chairman by republi- can votes.
 It is true that he prefers an isth- milan canal on the Nicaragua route to one on the Panama route; so do most Americans. It is also true that MT. Morgan favors a canal on the Panama route to no canal at all. In this spirit he voted at the last for the Spooner bill. and in the same spirit he un- doubtedly would accept the views of the majority of the senate as to the situation in Panama.
 The people know that Senator Nor gan is enthusiastically in favor of an isthmian canal. They do not know that Senator Hanna is. The former has never wayered, in his twenty-six years of service in the senate, in his loyalty to the canal idea; the latter never has convinced the people that he cared whether an isthmian canal were constructed or not.
 MT. Morgan possibly has been at times wrong-headed and obstinate, but he has been all the time an uncom- promising advocate of an isthmian ca nal For this reason, if for no other. he should not be removed from the chairmanship of the canal committee. He is the most notable figure in the canal controversy. He has devoted the best years of his public life to study of the canal question. He stands before the American people as per sonification of canal ideas, and, now that we are confronted by crisis in isthmian canal affairs, the republican senators, as a matter of policy. and as a matter of courtesy, should retain MT. Morgan in the chairmanship of the canal committee.

Georgia Minstrels.

Its. easy to start company on the road. but the hardest part is bringing 1t back" was remarked by J. J. Holland, business manager of Richards & Prin- gles Georgia Minstrels while he was In the city making arrangements for the appearance of his show at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight.
 'I mean just what I say Any person with money can find sharks enough to help him organize and start out show, but the hardest part is the booking and handling of the trick when it is out and keep 1t going the entire season, and bring it back again.
 Richards and Pringle have had a show bearing their name for the past twenty-eight years and the fact that they can come back each year shows that they have become pdpular with the public and if the public is satisfied they do not care much what other managers may think of their efforts.'

NJ ADJUSTMENT
 IN CHICAGO STRIKE Some Progress Made but Little
 is Accomplished
A SERIOUS RIOT OCCURS
Mob swarms Upon Two Wentworth Avenue Cars and Are Beaten Off With Difficulty By Police.
 Many Arrested.

Chicago, November 19.-Despite the united efforts today of Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the aldermanic mediation committee to bring apout a peaceable adjustment of the Chicago City railway strike, there is little change In the situ- ation tonight.
 Some progress was made today, but lit- tie was accomplished.
 A serious riot occurred this afternoon at Thirty-eighth street and Wentworth ave- nue, which was quelled by the vigorous work Of the police. They were compelled to charge the mob and use their clubs freely. Two Wentworth avenue cars crossing Thirty-eigh street were met with a shower of stones, demolishing the car windows and causing four passen- gers on the first car to flee for their lives.
 The mob then swarmed upon the cars and had begun to beat the train crews, when two cars with eighteen policemen and the crew of wreclxing wagon, ar rived. The mob which had greatly in- creased by this time, was in an ugly temper, and refused to move an inch. The police drew their revolvers and clubs and charged at once The mob used stones and epithets while the police used their clubs in every direction. The fight was warm and lasted about two minutes and then the mob broke ground, fleeing in all directions. A number of those engaged l in the rioting were arrested.
 The demand of a sympathetie strike to aid the former employees of the Chicago | City Railway company was refused to- night at meeting of the members of the union employees on all the lines running through the north section of the city. Instead of taking such summary action, 1 the northside men decided to give their striking breathren financial aid and to l this end $f0,00O was voted them. The na- 1 tional officers of the teamsters are now l hastenlng to Chicago in the hope of avert l ing a strike on their part in sympathy with, the car men.

BIRMINGHAM MAN

A YOUNG MAN NAMED OSBORNE FALLS UNDER SWITCH ENGINE AND IS HORRIBLY MINGLED. HAS SISTER HERE.

MERCHANTS WANT
 MORE EXCURSIONS
COMMITTEE FROM MERCHANTS EXCHANGE WILL CALL ON RAIL- ROAD COMPANIES IN FEW DAYS TO MAKE REQUEST.

The committee on excursions appointed at the last meeting of the Merchants ex- change is to walt upon the railroad com panies in the near future to ask for peri odical excursions into Birmingham.
 Colman Blaeh. chairman of the commit tee, said yesterday that plans were be- ing formulated to induce out of town people to come to this city to do their trading.
 'If each road" said MT. Blach, would give cheap rates into Birmingham about once month I believe il would pay them. The merchants can look after the people when they arrive and make 1t worth their while to make this city their regular trading point"
 MT. Blaeh said a rebate plan will prob ably be adopted whereby visitors will re- celve a proportionate amount of their railroad fare according to the distance they travel and the amount of the pur- chases they make The merchants are all looking forward 10 a healthy Christ mas trade and already the window dis plays bespeak the close proximity of that festive season.

THE HAT IN MEXICO.
Silk Tiles Now Worn by Officials In-
 stead of Sombreros.

Among all well bred people great att tention is paid to the hat of the mascu- line visitor. That emblem of grandee- ship, as Richard Ford called it, is taken at once and carefully placed on a chair quite as if 1t were a person. A table Is also proper place for it. but chair is better.
 Especially is the top hat distinguished in etiquette. It implies that the wearer is a real senor, true caballero, and it is honored with careful treatment See that it Is allowed to repose on a chair safe from casual knocks or jars In common parlance, the top hat is una chistera," a facetous word, and, speak ing seriously, it is "un sombrero de copa," or de eopa alta" It is an emblem of social rank, and lawyers often wear it from morning till night.
 The sombrero de paja, or straw hat, may be of many degrees of fineness. Sometimes it has a gold or silver cord and is worn by we'll to do rarlcheros or great haciendados on proper occasions. Women on horseback in the country and formerly in the city wore handsome sombreros. The sombrero of felt, with it's ornaments, may cost anywhere from $10 to $1,000. It is the gala hat for horse- back or days of fiestas and in the coun- try regions is affected by the prosperous. Remember that the hat in any form is something to respect. It is taken off as a sign of regard and deference or mere courtesy.
 The sombrero calanes is the American hat of low crown and broad brim, the hat of the bullfghter on the street, where he receives the homage of the small boy. It has it's epochs of coming into quite general use and Is far more picturesque than the stad and prim derby. The latter hat is much affected by the city youth of Mexico, but it is foreign. alien and an exotic. It is redc- ulous when worn on horse back under the ardent sun of Mexico or Andalusa.
 In old times Mexicans as well as Span iards of social rank wore the cooked hat immortalzed in Alarcon's story of the "Sombrero de Tres Picos." The three eornered hat properly speaking, affected by people in times agone was called the ''sombrero de tres candies"
 Boys of the lower classes wear cheap straw sombreros to school, and the mar vel is that they ever distinguish them, for they are as much alike as peas in a pod.
 But to return to our muttons so to say-the hat as a symboi or grandeeship. It is nowadays the tall hat, the topper" the silk hat, stovepipe, or what you will. ''Gobernodores" wear it. senators and l deputies and lawyers, of course though in Mexican cities the younger lawyers affect jaunty straw hats in warm weather and often derbys.
 The grandees of the first class of Spain I. af ,i,,f, in the presence of their soverign, and the other day the young King Alfonso, received a party of nobemen of high de- gree who approached him uncovered, said, after a moment. Cover yourselves, senores' which is the ancient etiquette Thus the hat plays in Spanish tradition and actual life a ceremonial part differ ing from usage in Anglo-Saxon coun- tries

Panama November 19-It now appears that the relations between the republic of Panama and the Catholic church will show no departure from those which ex- ist between Rome and the Colombian gov ernment.
 The minister of foreign affairs. Senor De La Espriella, sent a cablegram today to Cardinal Merry del Val the papal sec- retary of state, in which he recited the fact that the isthmus had declared its independence that the government was in charge of the junta, and that the new republic had been recognized by several of the great powers. The minister espe- cially begged the papal secretary to pay his respectful sautation to Pope Plus X. and expressed the wish that the vatican would recognize the Panama republic.
