BERNHARDT'S TRIUMPH.
Her Production of Sardou's LA

Paris Dec. 15.--Sardou's la Sor-

Lynchinus in Two States,

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun is much too quick on the trigger. It is too sud- den and too strenuous. In defending Governor Terrell it says: 'Lynchings in Georgia occur with no more ire quency than they do in Alabama" Facts are facts, and the Enquirer-Sun is either correct or else 1t is sadly in error over matter that is readily sus- ceptible of mathematical demonstra- tion.
 The Age-Herald will do the counting on this side of the line. Not a single lynching has occurred this year in this Btate-not one, nor an approach to one. We may have peons to burn, but we have had no victims of Judge Lynch this year.
 Will the Enquirer-Sun bring forward the Georgia figures of the present cal endar year2 If it will not, the Age herald can readily do so, although it involves a search through nearly six months of a newspaper file.
 The chances are that the score will stand about to 0.
 And if the Enquirer-sun Is not satis- fled with the record of the present year, we will furnish the Alabama fig. ures of 1902, namely three lynchings, in one of which the lynchers were fol- lowed up and arrested.
 The Enquirer-Sun does not know, 1t is plain, Governor Jelks and his posi- ton in relation to the suppression of lynching and the supremacy of law aud order. He is the high sheriff of Alabama, as Governor Terrell is of Georgia, and when he hears of 8 lynching he does not await formal call from the seat of disorder. He acts Independently and vigorously, and the result Is, the lynching bee as a source of rural diversion has gone out of fashion in this state.

STAGE cosTuMERs' TROUBLES.
It is Easy to Get Designs, But Hard te
 Obtain Material.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Does the average theatergoer ever real ize the immense amount of labor that IS involved in theatrical productions even before the curtain goes up for the first time? Not the least difficulty the pur- veyor of theatrical entertainment has to contend which is proper costume.
 Of course, In operatic performances, costumes cut very much larger figure than in ordinary theatrical entertain ments, but even they ofttimes present come from and how are they known to be correct. is a question very often asked. In evt\y great library, in this and other countries, there are always a large num- Der of works devoted exclusively to cos tunes and filled with plates and designs. Some of the plates ar colored. some are not. but the complete description is given in all it's details.
 The manager of a comic opera company desires to put on a production which calls for costumes of bygone ages, in them- selves not particularly attractive, yet to please his public there must be all the glitter that silks, satins, tinsels and lime light can make. His first step after de- ciding upon his opera is to go to his de- siener. a man who usually makes an extremely good living doing nothing but drawing the designs of costumes Every city of importance has someone who makes A speciality of this kind of work In New York there are five or six. The artist if he has no material at hand goes immediately to the library, finds tho authentic costume. and then modifies il

crosslnn the Ocean.

''The summer exodus to Europe is now op.' said New Yorker the other day. People from all parts of the United States are crossing over in great num- ber' to while away a month or two in the old world. In these days a trip across the ocean is not much more considered than a journey from New York to Phil adelphia used to be- The modern facili- ties for ocean travel are such that peo- pie of moderate means can take a trip to Europe for less than it would cost them to live for an equal time at home
 Danger is practically done away with. No experience is pleasanter than the few days spent on a great ocean liner in the company of congenial people Every com fort is right to hand, and 1t is worth while to make the trip even if you have to come back immediately.
 Business men think nothing of run ming across the pond to attend to their affairs, and altogether the various parts of the world are drawing closer together every day.

Feuds and Feud Suppress ion.

The Salvation army proposes to tour through the mountains of Kentucky and the two virginias with view of converting the mountaineers from fueds to brotherly love, from shot guns to salvation songs. The lads and las- sies are to go mounted through the fued districts, and it is plain they will everywhere be welcomed and they will no doubt accumulate many pleasant experiences, even 1T the bills of fare be somewhat monotonous. Life can, however, be well sustained on fat meat and cabbage and the pot liquor.
 It is difficult to say how the fueds of Kentucky and Tennessee and the yirginias can be suppressed. No way has yet been uevised. The fuedists are peculiar people, and no one can dictate to them. The efforts of the Salvation army will have no more eff feet upon them than water upon a ducks back, and no one knows what will be influential in their cases. As a rule the feudists are republicans Some are, however, democrats, and nearly all are moonshine producers and consumers. and all are descend. ants of the early English settlers.
 After all it is matter in which time and education must play large part The mountain counties need more schools and better schools. These schools must be maintained genera ton at least before an impression can be made upon the feudists that will turn them from revenge and the cut throat business to peaceful ways and security within the law.

Student houseworkers.

From Good Housekeeping
 At Columbia University statistics were taken to ascertain how its students were earning money to obtain an education. The variety of callings was large proba- bly because New York city offers to any one who is In search of work more lines of activity than can be found In any other one American city. One young man who as a boy had learned to help his mother turned houseworker for a family of three professional women, who were in t he city all day and kept house in Harlem apart ment This student took all the care of the apartment He arrived on the scene each morning In time to wash the break fast dishes and do the marketing. Once a week he gave the apartment thorough cleaning from scrubblng to dusting. The young woman handed him each morning list of the supplies they required. and all that awaited them at night was their cooking The verdict of his employers was that their work was better done than by any of the women that they had ever had.
 This student was not the only Columbia man who saw possibilities In housework. Twelve of them earned their board and lodging by living in apartments where the servant question had become more than a problem. During leisure hours they washed dishes, swept, scrubbed. cleaned, shook rugs. cooked; one man ac- tually did the family washing and did it we'll So ably do the students fill these positions that occasionally a Harlem or Washington Heights matron is found ad- vertising for a Columbia student who will emancipate her from helpless "help.'

excellent track, excellent motive power and excellent cars with reasonable headways.
 But there is one deficiency that would, if applied, render the system much more acceptable in this town of many suburbs. No town in the coun- try has proportionately so many sub urbs, and very few indeed of any size have an equal number But at present these suburbs are completely cut off and isolated from midnight to daylight, although every facility exists for fill. ing the gap. If after midnight car could be started on each line at each hour until the regular day trains are put on, the extent of the aecommoda- tion would be very considerable and hundreds of persons would be duly grateful True this Is not done in the lesser cities, but Birmingham is excep- tionally supplied with suburbs. It seems to be the ruling ambition of our citizens to live in suburbs, and the trolley company should strain point to serve it's patrons, even if there is no profit in 1t. It certainly would not be long before there would be profit in such late trips.

Alabama Taxation.

The series of articles prepared by J. c. Cowan, former assistant examiner of public accounts, for the Montgomery Journal, relative to taxation in the sixty-seven counties of the state sim ply shows that the Alabama system is the height of inequality and therefore of injustice. One county robs another by evading its own share of taxation. and 1t does this without mercy and without conscience. All are guilty. the degree of robbery only coming in to distinguish one from another. Some indulge in grand larceny, while others are content with petit larceny. Of bank shares Jefferson county returns but $13,850 in value, while Mobile county levies taxes on such property worth s1,239,110. But on the other hand, Mobile county Is the sixty-third county in the matter of guns and pis tols, while Jefferson easily leads the rest in this respect. But there is no need of multiplying examples. All of the tables presented by Mr.. Cowan are stuffed with inconsistency, which is but another name for public robbery.
 Is it right and best to let such work  go on? It is not only unjust, but 1t is demoralizing in the extreme, being only less so than ballot box stufing. If the state Is to be put on high ground, an end must be put to all such un- evenness and inequality in assess ments, and the legislature who studies the equalization acts of other states and devises a suitable and proper rem edy in September will deserve well of the people of this state. The law of Ohio is believed to be an excellent law. The equalization law of New York re- lates to real estate assessments only, and it may be that equalization in this state cannot be carried to the end of the tax list. But a reform in part would be better than no reform at all, and some action in this regard by the legislature is imperatively demanded by MT. Cowan's tables.

A Gifted Family.

A sister of Mrs. Edgar D. Bacon one of the best known and most valued sing CTS of Birmingham, was married recently in San Francisco. A clipping from the San Francisco Call follows:
 "A quiet wedding occurred at high noon at Trinity church, the Rev. F. W. Clam pett officiating, when Alice D. Reynolds and J. B. Whitney were Joined in we'd lock. The bride was beautifully attired in white chiffon over white silk with bouquet of lilies of the valley. Mrs k. l.. Mills was matron of honor. Louis Eaton presided at the organ. After the ceremony MT. and Mrs Whitney left Tor Del Monte and after a trip east will re- turn to San Francisco, where MT. Whit ney is permanently located.
 Mrs. Whitney, like her sister, Mrs. Ba- con, Is a musician. She Is not only vocalist but a pianist of marked skill. These ladies come of a gifted family all of the members of which had musical predilections.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE MAYORS

that he was the man they wanted for third termer in the velvet chair of the city executive. The good mayor offered for a twenty-four hundred dollar job and accompanying honors, and willingly spent seventeen hundred dollars to get it, figuring that the profits of seven hundred In receipts over disbursements would pay for time, and honors would equal the tips consequent upon a mayor. But the public climbed over itself and one another so enthusiastically to scatter third term foliage in the mayors path and chunk dough nuts In the ballot box that the reelected mayor decided to swap the lat ter for dollars.
 Poor Birmingham Is hopelessly in debt. It costs the town for flood and find" ss4OOO more than it made last year, and the people were told that they must bear longer with dusty streets. and go with out policemen to protect their homes and families from the highwaymen and bur glars, and carry lanterns to light their ways home because the city could not pay; but the mayor who advises his sub 1ects to be economical and stay at home at nights to keep away from highway men and protect their homes with bur glar alarms and explosive shells on all their window sills to frighten away bur glars. must be provided with the means to decorate himself in gold lace and be- come a monarch worthy of his doughty subjects.
