ALABAMIANs AT DENVER.

Alabama has been proudly represented at the National Association or Eiocu- tionists now in convention in Denver. MT. Henry Gaines Hawn of Alabama is president and according to all accounts haf made Alabamians there proud of him. Mrs. Martha s. Gielow the gifted Alabama woman is pupil of his and has often said that she owes her artistic suc- Icess to his training.
 Mrs. Gielow according to an account "won the most enthusiastic approval of my reader before the convention. Her work being so natural, so true to nature as to call forth continuous applause.
 Of Mrs. Gielow The Denver Republi- can of June 18th says:
 A unique feature were the recitations by Mrs. Martha Gielow of. Washington, D. C. Negro dialect. in its purity. was the attraction this lady had to offer and the excellence of her rendition won her great applause.
 Some curiosity was expressed regard ing Mrs. Gielow before her arrival here. being known among her profession as the woman who recited before Queen Victoria, but more prominently as the composer of her own clever monologues.
 Coming the last on the program. last night, she prefaced her first appearance before a Denver audience with some words on the dialect she initiates.
 q wish to speak," she said, of that rapidly disappearing class, the negro nanny. The minstrel caricatures and gross congregations of dialect of the coon songs have given a wrong concep- ton of the dear old nanny and daddy of the old regime. I have endeavored to impersonate them naturally. to illustrate their many unique characteristics by the monologues and stories which I have written for that purpose"
 She eulogized the simple devotion or the nanny There was mammy in every Southern home and we children loved them second only to our mothers. They were not hired servants. but foster mothers, and their service was labor of love-"
 Mrs Gielow speaks in an easy conver- sational manner. and from her introduc- ton she drifted almost imperceptibly from her own Southern accent into the broadest vocables of the negro. How Honey Got Lost was the title of her first selection. She recounted the story, impersonating Nanny, to an audience of imaginary children. Honey was never lost at all, and the audience had a, suspicion 1t was all right with the baby all the time. Butt the excitement was contaefous, and the applause at the end testified that every mother in the audience had been touched to the heart Mrs. Gielow gave two other selections "Blow Lir Freezes" a lullaby, and a monologue Illustrating Dargy Super stition," and which pictured the darky's idea of heaven, with waterwelons oi enormous size and gigantic chickens or every hand.
 Mrs. Gielow will be hear again in Dem yer.

He met the northbound passenger at the request of his father to meet some friends whom they were expecting. but the friends did not come. After the passenger train had left he saw a friend on the excursion train which had side-tracked. He chatted with his friend and after the train got back on the main track, he evidently thought that 1t would not stop at the depot and In jumping of his head struck a crosstie and produced an injury which 1t ts feared will be fatal. Up to this time he has not regained consciousness.
 Interest fin politics in this county is be- ing felt It is now regarded as one of the certainties that Clayton Foscue of Grove Hill, will contest with Judge John Nj. Wilson for Probate Judge. Judge wilson has held the office for the last twenty-four years and Is regarded as one of the most popular and efficient Probate Judges in the State. Clayton Foscue is a young man with sterling traits of char acter, bright. popular with the people and thoroughly acquainted with the duties of the office, as he has been clerk In the ofice for several years It is thought by many that 1t will be political battle royal, and 1t will be watched with much interest They are both clean men and there will not be any dirty politics or mud singing in 1t.
 The Clarke County Sunday School Com vention is now in session here. with a very large attendance and much inter est is manifested by Sunday Schooi|work- CTS. Judge Joseph Carthel and Miss Lida Robinson are here.
