Author Pue German.

The friends of Senator German i'll Maryland propose to join in demon stration for him on the occasion of the holding of the democratic state convention in Baltimore this month. The Savannah News favors such q movement, adalng it's reasons, as fol- lows
 Judging from what has taken place in Ohio and Nebraska, it is the purpose Of MT. Bryan and his friends to leave no stone unturned to control the democratic national convention. They may not have a majority of the delegates, but if they succeed in getting one-third of them they will be in position to prevent a nomi- nation that isn't satisfactory to them.
 MT. Bryan and those who are in sym pathy with him are busy getting their forces into shape for the struggle. It is important therefore that those democrats who are not in sympathy with him. and who think that to follow him means certain defeat, should begin the work of organizing for the contest at once.
 If Senator German should become a recognized candidate for the nomination these democrats who are opposed to reaffirmation of the Kansas City plat form would acknowledge his leadership and consent to receive instructions from him. For that reason and others 1t Is probable that the proposed action of Senator Germans friends on the occa- sion of the meeting of the Maryland dem ocratic state convention is likely to meet with pretty general approval.
 The Parker wave, which never had any excuse for existence, has left Georgia without any distinct leaning in the preliminary race, but the dec laration of the News for MT. German is pretty good evidence that Georgia prefers to trust the man that the Unit ed States serzte trusts, and that all well-informed men trust, including ex- Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is chairman of the democratic national executive committee.

MEN WHO WERE "LlTERATURE.'

George Moore in September Lippincott's.
 Balzac and Hugo were the last of the great men whose inspiration was un- ceasing and who did not make literature but who were literature. Balzac wrote a great story at a stting-a sitting that lasted for eighteen hours. All that while he wrote, for no secretary could keep pace with him, and all that while he lived on black coffee. Then he slept for thirty hours. Hugo wrote "Hernani" In 2 month, and we can think of Balzac and Hugo as we think of the great Venetian living in the glory and exultation of con- stant creation. Veronese must have im- provised ",rhe Marriage Feast at Cana" with extraordinary ease. and I like to think he painted the immortal fiddler in a morning and went out in his gondola in the afternoon thinking he had done a fair days work. That was how men wrote and painted in the great times before science beckoned them away from the beatiful

THE COST OF A coNcLAvE.

What is the cost of conclave?"
 The question was asked of we'll known clergyman. and this was his re- ply.
 That of 1878, which resulted in the election of Leo XIII. involved two pills, one of sl1,574.20 cents for carpenters and masons' work, locksmiths painters, gas, gaziers and electric bells; the other of s4.0O0 for fitting up the Sistine chapel. But this was dirt cheap compared with the figures for some preceding conclaves. That of 1881, when Gregory XVI was elected, cost s144, 756.1S, and the elections of Plus VIII and Leo XII were responsi- ble for $127,702 and $9S, 425 respectively. These conclaves all took place during the last century, buo before that period con- claves were both longer and more fre- quent, so that it was found necessary on several occasion to limit beforehand the expenditure on papal election. Thus Alexander VIII limited the number of functionaries of the conclave and cut down their emoluments and perquisites. '' Philadelphia Press.

FoRTIFYING THE FRONTIER.

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal
 Gen. Fred D. Grant wants to build more Notifications along the Mexican line, as the Mexicans are doing. They are not wanted. We are in no danger of war with Mexico unless it be a war of secession. and, as the land of Dios y Libertad has not yet become a part of the Union, the contingency is remote Beyond the yellow sands of the Rio Grande thed ark-eyed houris are beck oning our young men more entreatingiy than ever Burmah girl, on the road to Mandalay, cried Come ye back, ye Brit ish soldiers" Americans are focking to Mexico.

We want no guns and Qualifications. What we want Is our sons of guns to make love to the Mexican girls.

Brninaham Churches.

T notice that the heated season does not apparently. cause the people of Bir- mingham to cease their ehurch-going, said a well known travelling man in the Hillman lobby last night. 'I attended two different churches today and both the houses of worship were crowded, which indeed, is remarkable during hot weather. At one of the services I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. MeFerrin of the First Methodist church, and by the way, the sermon delivered by him would make those who say the day of pulpit oratory is past take a back seat. for l have rarely heard any more appropriate eloquence in the pulpit. Dr. McFerrin has all the graceful gifts of an orator and l predict great things for him.
 Tn addition to the crowded churches, which I understand are filled every Sun day in the year, I noticed several street preachers who all had good crowds gath cred around them. This reminds me very much of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. I have never seen scenes like these in other cities of the south, but then Birmingham Is a thoroughly cosmopolitan city,

SeIectinq National Delegates.

In all the length and breath of this state only one opponent of primary in the selection of national delegates has appeared, and that one is the De mopolis Dispatch. It is opposed to ac- tion by the many in this matter that concerns the many, because a dele gate should receive "a majority of the votes." It dreads a minority choice, and yet it courts selection by a convention with all it's dickers, com. promises, dark horses, bosses, and the Lord only knows what else. A selec- tion by any average convention repre- sents, not the many, but the few, and the hand of the corporation and the plutocrat is potent, although invisible to the naked eye, therein. So corrupt and inefficient and unrepresentative had the convention become that the constitution of 1901 directed the pres ent legislature to pass laws for the regulation of primaries, and the legis- lature is about to put the intention and spirit and meaning of the new constitution into operation.
 The Dispatch attempts to say that national delegates could not be SC lected in a primary, because no one would have clear majority. A dele gate can be selected in primary just as readily as governor and congress man can be, and under precisely simi. lar rules. A second primary or run-off might be necessary. What is good when a governor or congressman is to be nominated, is good when dele gate, state or district, is to be se- lected.
 What ails the Dispatch anyway? :? Is it opposed to all primaries? Does

ARE WE PAGANS?
the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 The decision of Sir Francis Jeune's court in London, in the Constantinidi divorce case, the other day Is notice to us that we are in European eyes, or at least in the purview of the sober and orderly British courts merely pagan in treating the marriage bond, which is at the foundation of the family and the state. Constantinidi, a wealthy Greek merchant domicied in London, was granted a separation from his wife in 1898, and the decree prohibited the re- marriage of the woman, who wished to marry the family physician. She had heard of the ill-fame of South Dakota, hed herself thither and, after a six months residence, was granted an abso- lute divorce by the complaisant court, which decides these things with an eye single to revenue and the prosperity of the state. She married again, and tho British court decided that this second marriage was of no force in the United Kingdom.
 One of the counsel in the case called the South Dakota proceedings by the harsh name of a fraud upon civilized Jurisprudence" and not a good Amer;- can resents the imputation he has put upon us. It is barbarous. and as much almost may be said of the general treat ment of divorce in the United States, where nearly all the state pursue the even tenor of their respective ways and grant divorces for different reasons in an incoherent manner.

A TREASURE AT A BOOK STALL

From the London Chronicle.
 It is still possible to pick up a treasure in miscellaneous bundle at a London book sale. In today's Athenaeum a re- cent instance of such piece of luck is narrated It was a short-lived peri o6ical called Undergraduate Papers, four numbers of which were published in 1857 and 1S5S that MT. Swinburne commenced his literary career. Copies are now ex- ceedingly rare, and the last quotation was a16 By some strange oversight a complete set of the Undergraduate Pa pers was included in a bundle, and the whole lot was sold the other day for Is at an auction room near Piccadilly Cir GUS. The fortunate purchaser has since sold his Swinburnian treasure for G30. So ignorant of the value of the Under graduate Papers were the compilers of the catalogue that they did not think this particular item of the bundle worth mem tioning

St. Bernard.

The Rev Father Giles, 0. s. B., secre- tary of St. Bernard college, Is in Birming- ham and will remain until Tuesday. when he will accompany the Birmingham boys who will be students at the college this year The boys will meet Father Giles at the union passenger station Tuesday at 12 noon sharp. In this connection the following from a Huntsville paper will be read with interest by many:
 "The education and moral training of a boy is matter of concern to any parent The critical age of precocious boy is from thirteen to seventeen. It is then that their childish passion is not balanced by mature reasons. They have the physical powers of the bowman and none of the man-boy prudence. They are two big to switch, too little to knock down, so in our judgment they should have their wings clipped by proper moral restraints gently applied. For the North Alabama boy, there is no other such opportunity for proper educational and moral train- ing, as that offered by the St. Bernard college at Cullman, Aa Catholic school, where boys are gently but beau- tifully disciplined. It is the place for the spirited manly, but too often 'manish boy. He is removed from bad temptation, evil influence, he is taught morality by daily discipline. It is the temptations which catch the Aoy in early life which affects him in after years. Here he has every restraint gently applied, and here he is thoroughly educated In his literary pursuits and studies
 "The St. Bernard college is a beauti- full attractive home for boys. They have their amusements, healthful exercise, and perfect sanitary regulation. They are built morally, physically and mentally. This perfect regulated educational insti- tuition is within two hours ride of our city, and we take the responsbilitv of commenting it editorally to the peoi of North Alabama as the best school to send your boy. The educational department is thorough, systematic and perfect. The col lege is on the top of Sand mountain one and one-half miles, east of Cullman, the healthiest spot in the state. The charges are extremely moderate and for the good of the boys, and we prove our faith by our works after thorough Investigation, for we will send one boy there. We com mend it to this people,

LOU DILLoNs FUTURE RECORD

From the Boston Globe.
 Those men of the turf who watched the wonderful chestnut mare. Lou Dillon. break the worlds trottlng record this week at Readville immediately began to discuss the question whether or not she could travel the mile in less than two minutes. Many were of the opinion that she could cut the time under 12O seconds before the end of the present season if given a favorable opportunity and put to the test.
 This opinion has a solid basis. Of the seventeen champion trotters of the past sixty years, seven have established new world record more than once. Flora Temple, after being enthroned as queen, lowered her own figures four times. Dex- ter once, Goldsmith Maid five times, Maud six times, Nancy Hanks twice and Creseeus once reduced the stop. watch ticks subsequent to the days on which each was first hailed premier of the trot- ting track Lou Dillon's present form ar gues that she, the two-minute racer. can beat herself, as seven of the preceding champions have beaten themselves, taking the continuance of her splendid condition for granted.
 Incidently it is interesting to note that while the trotting record is 200 fiat, the pacing record is 1:59 by Dan Patch, and the running record 1854 by Salvador The running record was made on a straight away track
