Rriaht Little Actress.

'Tn years of stage experience l have never seen as natural a child actress as little Pauline Welch, who played the boy in 'Rosedale,' said L. B. Carleton, who stages the production of the Fawcett company at the Bijou. 'I was in a bad fix when we first put the play on in Bal tlmore. 1 had but two days to get child to take the part, and I had tried three children. Finally I found Pauline Welch, and she is simply a natural actress. I gave her the lines and she came to the theatre the next day and knew them per- fectly. Besides that she acted the part without training, something which the older actresses cannot do. never had to tell her to do anything but one time, as she remembers everything.
 we kept the child with the company and paid her a nice salary for three weeks in order to keep her for the Bir- mingham production. She relieves me a great deal, for in the future l will not hesitate to choose a play which has 8 child part for fear that cannot find some one to take it.

Senatorial Chances,
Gate.

The personnel, but not the politics, of the United States senate will be changed on March next, for no fewer than thirty states have elected or will elect senators. These states are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Georgia, Flor ida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ken lucky, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire New York, North Carolina. North Da. kota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin
 In the elections of last fall the re publicans lost four senatorial seats in Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada and North Carolina. The democrats also lost four seats, in Idaho, Kansas, Utah and Washington. The doubtful seats are those of Colorado, where a squab- ble is in progress, and the two va cancies of Delaware, where another ruction will so1a break out Be the results of these disputed cases what they may the political control of the senate will not be materially changed.
 But there will be many interesting personal changes. Senator Mason's seat will be filled after March by Congressman Hopkins. Senator Vest will be succeeded by ex-Governor Stone. Congressman Newlands will take the seat long held down by Sen ator Stewart. Banker Ankeny, another millionaire, is booked; it is said, to take Senator Turner's seat. It is scarcely necessary to add that the new Washington senator will be a republi can. A millionaire unknown to fame is also endeavoring to bag the seat oi Senator Simon of Oregon. Altogether about a dozen new men will be elect ed senators, and the millionaire in terest will be somewhat strengthened especially if Addicks appears with ere dentials from Delaware, and ex-Sena tor Walcott with similar papers from Colorado.

c. M. ScHWAB,
The Steel Trust President, Is Said to
 Have Locomotor Ataxa.

Wheeling, w. Va, January 19.-It is stated that Charles M. Schwab is a vic tim of locomotive ataxla, and will never be able to resume active duties at the head of the United States Steel corpor- alton.
 This information is given in the News this evening, which states that it has re- ceived it from high sources in the United States Steel company. The information. it is alleged. came through private sources and it's authenticity is said to be credited by well-informed iron and steel men.
 It is said that only within the last few days has 1t been known in United States steel circles that the nature of MT. schwab's illness was as stated For some time past the responsibilities of the pres idency have been discharged by President James Gayley of the Carnegie Steel com pany, and he Is looked upon as MT. Schwabs successor.
 The change, it is asserted, will probably be made early this year. although it may be deferred. One official Is quoted as saying that few people are aware of the fearful strain Mir Schwab has been under for years past. Ten years ago he assum- ed enormous responsibilities. Then came the clash with Prick, then he laid the working foundations of the United States Steel company The burden of the off, cials said, proved too great, and illness followed

MEN SLOW TO CHANCE
 THEIR RELIGIOUS FAITH

and devotion from other and outside mo- tives influencing them.
 At any rate, relatively more men seem to go to church on Sunday in New York than in perhaps any other of the great cities of Christendom. certainly, many more than in London. They do not go to Unitarian churches in any large numbers either relatively or actually, not so many. approximately. as did generation ago. when Dr. Bellows was one of the great and popular preachers of the town. why is this? Is it not because the Unitarian type of mind has passed, usually, far beyond Unitarianism as an institution and landed in the agnosticism which has no use for any sort of church? Unitarianism itself has slipped the moorings of Dr. Charming. As compared with the Unita- rianism of today. his was only slight variation from strict orthodoxy For n- stance, he reverenced the authority of the i Bible to an extent not reached by even many of our orthodox theologians and clergy of this time. He would have shud- dered at pr. savage's scientific criticism of the Bible, and even at that now fash ionable in so many nominally orthodox theological schools.
 The religious infdelity of this time. and perhaps in New York, more particularly, is not aggressive does not seek to pro- pagate itself. It respects rather than de- rides churches and religious faith, and even, oftentimes, preserves at least an appearance of outward conformity Per haps. in the end, it may be all the more dangerous on that account We observe that the spirit of bitter controversy is exhibited rather in the letters sent to us from stanch believers than in those from serious questioners. The latter usually express unsatished religious yearnings rather than the violence of enmity to in- stitutional religion which distinguished the old-time infidelity. The contemporary sceptfcism is usually courteous and not merely tolerant of belief, but also indis- posed to shatter 1t in the minds of which 1t is happy possession.
 New York, pr. Savage should remember, and Bostonians should know, is a very great and cosmopolitan community, with every phase and form of religious belief represented in 1t and every variety of religious and sceptical thought. But here people who want religion or who desire to manifest practical conformity to 1t by going to church are not likely to seek a church where ethical culture, or, at least, a mere religious philosophy, is purveyed as a substitute for religion. They want the real thing, or nothing.

Auditor SoweIrs Revenue Bill.

The general revenue bill prepared by State Auditor Sowell is not a bill that will promote the business inter- ests of Alabama, and it is doubtful in- deed if it win benefit any class in the state, although the farmers will be told that it was devised in their interest," that it taxes mortgages, bonds and notes that have heretofore escaped taxation. This is, however, delusive
 The consumer in all affairs pays the freight. The borrower, in other words, would be required to pay a mill on every dollar he borrows, simply be- cause the lender always dictates the terms he will lend money on. Whether he wants or 25 per cent he will com pei the borrower to pay the stamp tax that the new revenue bill proposes to exact
 It will, too, seriously disturb all bus mess transactions that involve loans, especially short loans; for if loan be for but day as large tax must be paid on it as a five-year note would need. Alabama is prosperous, and the levying of a stamp tax upon every transaction in which indebtedness is factor is a policy of doubtful utility. It is at any rate certain that borrowers will have to bear it, and that it will perpleX business and trade.
 Nor is the provision requiring mer- chandize to be assessed at rate not less than 75 per cent of the insurance carried just measure if it raises such assessments above land valuations, as it doubtless would in many cases. Much real estate is not valued for tax ation purposes at one-third of it's mar ket value, and a valuation of merchant dize at higher rate would be unequal and unjust
 The legislature should not distrub the present prosperity of the state, and above all else it should not enact class legislation. The proposed law will not in point of fact benefit the farmers, while it will preplex and embarrass the business men of the state.
