ident John MITCHELL of the United Mine
Workers, refused $4,000 by serving no.
tice that he would not appear this year
on the Chautauqua circuit During the

booked Mr.. Mitchell at 5000 per night for
twenty nights. He served the first place

this string of engagements he has can

sally in Our Alley" a new musical
frlvolity, which was given it's initial
performance at the Metropolitan last
night, will not be remembered with the
same pleasure as other musical pro-
auctions which have preceded it. There
is little In the work of George V. Ho-
part. who wrote the book and lyrics,
and Ludwig Highlander, who wrote the
music, to recommend. There is scarce
ly catchy piece of music in the en-
tire production
Trixie F'rsiganza who carried the
part of Sally, does much to prevent the
production becoming a bore, though
her singing was not above the average.
Her best effort was when she sang
Nancy Brown" JUNE McCree, as
Icy, Sallie's father, was good at all
times.
Miss Margaret Marston is entitled to
as much or more praise than any other
member of the company. She has a
splendid voice, and is pretty besides.
The several encores she received after
singing Under the Bamboo Tree did
not come from the gallery alone.
AS a musical production, Sally in
Our Alley suffers by comparison.
There is plenty of dash to it, but the
dash comes in jerks and spoils the
effect. Perhaps the production will,
in time, be toned down and changed so
as to make it more acceptable, but I'M
til this has been done there is little to
be said in it's favor.
The company will be here the rest
of the week.

The play is comic drama Of four
acts that gives opportunity for dis
play of character acting and dramatic
force. This is true of the role of Imo-

made much of in the hands of real

 Water Supply
 A contract has been entered into with the water company, by which 1t obligates itself to filter all the water furnished; /; the North Birmingham station to be com pleted within twelve months and the Ca haba station within eighteen months from the 1st of October, 1902. If either fil- ter station is not completed as provided in the contract, water Is to be furnished for all fire hydrants free of charge until both stations are fully completed, which will amount to about g, 900 a month.
 Street Improvements
 A great deal of work has been done in grading macadamizing and curbing streets, paving sidewalks, constructing sanitary sewers, etc. In fact more lineal feet of cement sidewalks and curbing have been laid during my administration than ever before in the history of the city We have confined the improve ments to localities where they we're peti- toned for and were necessary. The city has been greatly benefited and improved by this street work, and building up of the property has immediately followed upon the improved streets and property values have been greatly enhanced.

ute experimentersn are endeavoring to prolong human existence indefinitely by checking the advance of death on the threshold, in the cells themselves thus arresting senile decrepitude by the use of a specific serum for the blood instead of attempting to combat external disease.
 But let us t"rn to some of the interest," ing old people of last year. The oldest practicing physician in the United States, and probably the oldest in the world Is Dr. J. P. Wood of Coffeyville, Kan, who celebrated his tooth birthday early in 1902. He was born in Dublin on January 4, 1892 and began ,practicing at the age of 22, thus having seventy-eight years of medical work to his credit. But" he al- ways adds in telling about 1t, q have done mighty little practicing on myself" He served as a surgeon in General Tay- lors army in the Mexican war. Dr. Wood attributes his long life and sus- tained vigor to the fact that he has al- ways lived plainly and temperately in. dulging no excesses, and summed liquor and tobacco as he would deadly poison. As a student in Pennsylvania Medical College he joined a coterle of seven class mates who had pledged themselves to this manner of living. All but one of the parties to this compact lived to be over 10, HNe HNeu lO pc over oU, one became a nonagenarian, while Dr. Wood the sole survivor, Is now in his 101st year
 But abstemious as pr. Wood has been. his self-denying mode of living does not seem to furnish any universal rule for longevity, for John Barlow, remarkable old man of Montgomery county, New York, who passed his forth birthday last spring, tells us that he has drunk whisky and chewed and smoked tobacco nearly all his life. He was still hale and hearty at last accounts, and. moreover, was said to be counting a well known widow aged 97. with good prospects of making her his fifth wife. This wonderfully preserved old man, in whose longevity we see paradox, so far as total abstinence Is con- cerned, has never required the services of physician, dentist or an oculist
 He has lived much in the open air as farmer and has always preferred walking to riding in his local travels. He has two sons who are great grandfathers. thus being himself great at-great-grand-father
 Keeping the temperance question in view, however, as a sine qua non to long life. Francis M. Anthony, centenarian living near Bloomington.

It is but right and proper that when any candidate asks the people for their support for election to a public office that they should be informed of the reas- ons upon which he bases his request, therefore I submit here a few of the reasons why I ask your vote and infu- ance for reelection to the office of mayor of Birmingham:
 During my administration the follow Ing results have been accomplished:
 Transfers Have been granted on all lines of the street railway in the city.
 Gas Has been reduced from $1.60 per thou sand cubic feet to S1, effecting a large saving to all consumers.
 Schools
 Three new school buildings, modern in all respects, have been erected, furnish ing ample accommodation for all school children.
 Garbage Has been taken out of contractors hands and is being done by city forces, com posed largely of prisoners, thereby saw ing money and giving much better serv- ice
 Street Sprinkling Is now being done by the city without charge to property owners, insuring a more thorough sprinklng of all the streets in the business district.
 Parks Have been acquired on Magnolia avenue, near Five Points, and also Behrens Park nn IpVnlffh more than doubled in value since the date of their purchase.
 City Jail Has been rebuilt so as to provide separ- ate quarters for whites and blacks, males and females, and with ample capacity to comfortably accommodate all of the in- mates it is likely to have for years to come.
 Fire Protection The efficiency and numerical strength of the fire department has been practi- cally doubled, by reason of which it com pares favorably with that of any other city in the United States the size and population of Birmingham.
 A New City Hall Has been erected which is the most modern and convenient public building in the south, with provisions for all muni- cipal purposes. and four large halls with a total seating capacity of 1000, suitable for any meeting of a public character, which will accommodate four conven- tions at one time.
 City Stables Have been built with sufficient capacity to comfortably accommodate all city stock. Disabled fire horses, which former ly were sold for about s20 necessitating

Greater Birmingham.
 I believe that the development of Bir- mingham and of the resources of this dis trict depends largely upon that concern trated effort which will result from the incorporation of contagious suburban towns into this municipality. I favor and expect to urge legislation looking to this end.
 High School.
 The rapid growth of this city and the possibilities of Greater Birmingham cre- ate an increasing demand for skilled la bor in the higher branches. To enable our boys to supply this demand 1t is nec- essary to have High school which will add to the literary advantages of our present High school a course of thorough training in technology.
 WaterWorks
 should, in my judgment, always be the property of the municipality and will bend every effort to obtain the proper legislation enabling us to purchase or build a system of sufficient capacity to supply the largest needs of Greater Bir- mingham In addition to capacity, 1t must be constructed to supply the best and purest water possible to obtain with the latest and most approved methods. It must also be managed so as to supply water at the cheapest rates possible to the consumers Very respectfully,

.CENTENARIANS OF 1902. Secret of Long Life-Men and Women Still Gay and spry
 Their One Hundredth Birthday-Lnks With the Past
Copyright, 1903, Ro bert Burns Buchanan.

= T is noteworthy how many centena- U Crians, and persons near or past the H century mark have figured in the history of the year just closed. We often hear that this is the young mans age, and this is largely true in the business world, but 1t is also an age of old people. Much as the youngsters would like to have the old fellows go to the rear and take a comfortable seat on Easy street, the fact remains that at no time in the history of man has the influence and ac- tivity of the veterans been more potent in the affairs of the world.
 There are about $500 people over 100 years of age in the United States. The average expectancy of life Is increasing all over the world It is estimated that the prolongaton of life has gained 25 per cent in the last fifty years. The list of centenarians is growing longer with each succeeding year. It is a curious fact too, that for every man who has reached the age of 100 there are two women Statistics of most countries confirm this statement
 Ii used to be said that 40 was "the old age of youth,' and that 50 was the youth of old age" But even Victor Hugo could not say that today with much force on the brains of other men. Charles T. Yerkes, in recent London interview, said that man was not really ripe for business until he was 30, being with few exceptions merely an apprentice before that age Henry Clews lately said that he knew many men who had achieved their greatest successes after they were 60. Everybody knows that Michael An gelo. Titan, Voltaire. Franklin, Newton, Lord Brougham, Palmerston Kent, Goethe, Gladstone. Bismarck and others performed great things even after they were 80 years old
 In fact there are theorists today who asserts that the man who dies at 100 dies a century too young. How to extend the span of life indefinitely Is the problem to which many seem to set themselves nowadays. Scientists and doctors prom ise almost unlimited life to coming gen. erations. Man is to become the architect of his own fortune in a new and wider sense. Progress vii be measured by a new scale.
