General G0rdon on Peonaue.

General Gordon, commander-in-chief, writes to Gen. George P. Harrison, commander of the Alabama division of the United Confederate Veterans, that any support of peonage would be "a sad mistake He goes on to say that the touching of the subject even re- motely would damage the influence of the Veterans, and he asks General Harrison to see that the proposed Sul- phur Springs gathering is called off. General Harrison asks in turn every member of the organization of Con- federate Veterans to heed "the timely admonition" of General Gordan.
 admonition" of General Gordon.
 Confederate Veteran would lend him. self to any endorsement of peonage, however dlsguised, especially when combined with an unWarranted attack upon the judiciary system of the gen. eral government. No doubt the Con federate Veterans who were to meet at Sulphur Springs will act in accord ance with the expressed wishes of General Gordon and General Harrison.
 The line between personal sympathy and the practice of peonage itself IS very thin, and General Gordon is cor rect when he says the. brave survivors of a chivalric war for independence cannot afford to be connected in any manner with the support of peonage.
 General Gordon's outspoken letter deserves wide commendation among all classes of people. It fairly and fully voices public sentiment. and the people of Talladega in which Sulphur Springs is located, VII readily concur in every line of it when they have had time to read and fully digest 1t.

NO GIRL NEED APPLY.

From the New York Press.
 J. Pierpont Morgan is old-fashioned in at least one respect. He is as ehivalrous as a knight banneret after the crusades and believes that women should not be required to go out into the world to work for living. No woman has ever broken into the Morgan office. Everything at the corner of Wall and broad is of the male persuasion, and is likely to remain so un- til the father of trusts retires. Several bright girls, expert with the typewriting machine able stenographers, and of splendid business ability have pulled all kinds of wires to get places in 'J. P.'s' office, but their efforts have proven vain MT. Morgan never uses a profane word in the presence of a woman, and inas- much as there is a little "cussing' some- times done in his office females are hope lessly barred.

THE PRESIDENTS RIDE.

From the New York Evening World.
 Boots and saddles for the President and the Presidents son Theodore, Jr., at 2 In the morning and a dash across Long Island before breakfast. It was stirring ride, beftting the cavaliers from whom strain in the Roosevelt blood is derived. Had they been carrying the good news from Oyster Bay to Sayville they could not have gone faster or ridden more nercely. The President galloped, the Presidents son and the Presidents cousins galloped; they galloped all four in way a Browning should celebrate. The chatter of hoofs in the village streets as they passed was worthy of Paul Revere. They saw the moon set and the sun rise as they bounded on through the mud, and when at last they drew rein they had covered thirty-fve miles. It was feat which fame will care for.
 We do not initiate President as abroad they initiate king, and Washington does not set the nations style. But there can be no doubt that the Presidential example on horseback. in the tennis courts, at handbal or with the foils, and in all the various forms of athletic sport to which MT. Roosevelt devotes his leisure with much energy and assiduity. Is a good thing for the nation.
 It means the encouragement in young men of a sane body as the dwelling place of sane mind and to have served to foster that notion Is a satisfying achieve ment even for President.

Public BuIIdinus in Alabama.

Inspector Williams D. Windom has been instructed to proceed at once to inspect sites for public buildings in Florence, Bessemer and Tuscaloosa, and 1t Is hoped the report of MT. Win dom will be filed in about two weeks. The next steps will then relate to the examination of titles, the purchase of sites, and the preparation of plans for the new buildings. All this may be accomplished by the time congress meets or soon afterwards, and the next public buildings bill may include appropriations for the three buildings to be erected in this state.
 The policy of erecting substantial buildings in all cities that afford good volumes of postal and other public business, with promise of more to come as the years go on, is well es- tablished, and the country will soon be dotted with handsome structures, no1 one of which will cost less than $50, ,OoO.
 Between public buildings in the interior towns and irrigation plants in the arid regions of the far west all districts share with the port and river towns in the distribution of pub lie patronage. The system of distri- button may not clearly be within the terms of the constitution, but 1t bears the sanction of the republican party, and whatever that party endorses soon procures the endorsements of the courts. Public buildings, irrigation plants, and river and harbor improve ments are each and all now considered legitimate subjects of federal expen- ditures, and Alabama will never kick as long as she gets even a reasonable share of the appropriations. After all, the old flag and an appropriation is the modern standard of patriotism.

Entrance to Oxford.

President Abercrombie has been ap- pointed chairman of the committee of selection which is to appoint next spring the first Rhodes scholars from Alabama. The conmittee's selection will mot be arbitrary, but will be based on responsions, examinations cover ing mathematics up to and including two books of Euclid and the best known Greek and Latin writers. After these examinations are completed the committee in each state or territory will make the appointments, following as closely as possible the terms of the Rhodes will.
 There is too much fuss made over the appointments to Oxford. MT. Rhodes basic idea was the bringing together of students from all Teu- tonic nations, hoping that such an un- ion would bring about in the long run a Teutonic alliance for the good of all civilization.
 The idea is somewhat chimericaI ana visionary, and it is doubtful in- deed what its individual effects will be-. Itlmay be productive of lot of snobs. It may create few hundred hybrids of no use to any country. The entire plan is at the best dream of doubtful utility. But. so long as. Ala bama boys are willing to go, no one need object. at least not until the experiment is further advanced, so that it's merits and demerits can be studied.
 The chief objection to 1t seems to be that the contestants for the Rhodes scholarships must have reached their second year at some home college or university. This rem ders the Oxford course almost a post graduate affair, and American boys as a rule have no time to give to such a course. .,-

ALPS BEING vULeARIzEp.

From the London Daily Graphic.
 A protest is being raised against cer- tain consequences of the construction of mountain railroads, and particularly of the line which Is slowly creeping up the Jungfrau. The Wengern Alp, it seems, once sacred to the beautiful blue gen. tian, is speckled with the shells of hard boiled eggs, rows of ladies read penny society" papers at the edge of Eiger Glacier. and at the Sheideck a gramo- phone has taken the place of the Rang des Vaches." Happily, there still remain a few resorts of the old style, known to the elect; but they become fewer every year. and the projects of the engineers are so ingenious and extensive that on the Bernese Oberland, at all events an- other decade will probably see the last Of them invaded.

impressive Ceremonies.

"The pontifcal mass of requiem for the repose of the soul of Pope Leo XII of blessed memory, celebrated in St. Pat ricks cathedral, New York, last We'd nesday, was probably as impressive as any seen outside of Rome" said a Catholic layman. About six hundred and fifty priests and fully four hundred acolytes were in the procession that moved down the middle aisle of the great minister and a congregation of eight thou sand filled the pews. Mayor Low and all the judges of the Supreme court were present.
 "on Wednesday evening the Knights of Columbus to the number of five thou sand attended vespers at the Paulist church in honor of the dead pontifr. There are four hundred and fifty thousand Knights of Columbus in the United States. and each of them wears a bow of purple ribbon on his coat as a badge of mourning for the holy father"

After an EnnIIsh Estate.

'Many citizens remember the efforts made by American claimants of the famous Jennings estate in England thirty or thirty-five years ago to get possession of the millions which they thought should be theirs" said a Virginian.
 Jennings societies were formed in many states and able attorneys were em- ployed to look after the claims but not a pound has ever come to any of the Jennings folks.
 Now the heirs of James Wood, who died in Gloucester, England. in 1886. leay- ing fortune of $1O0 GOO. O.00O-accordlng to the belief of the hopeful and numerous relatives-are sending an agent to the old country to personally fight their battle. He is Elliott Dudley of Philadelphia, direct descendant of the historical James Wood
 "Mr. Dudley will represent a committee of claimants for shares in the benefits of the estate. He is the first relative in America who has instituted proceedings to secure emoluments, accruing from this immense fortune. For more than five years Dudley has been organizing the comttee of relatives which he will rep resent in London and elieiting interest in a proportionate amount to defray the ex- pense of his trip abroad.
 "A month ago the last meeting was held by the committee, at which MT. Dudley assured the heirs that no stone would be left unturned to bring this matter to a successful issue. A few pessimistic mem- bers present claiming they were heirs, at tempted to dlssuade the leader from mak- ing what they considered futile attempt to collect. moneys they believed to have been paid out long ago to earlier heirs.
 "The litigation will occupy space of five years, MT. Dudley says, so much time being necessary to fulfill the legal obliga- tions necessary in such matters.
 "The heirs of James Wood may get something but these vast estates in the old country claimed by Americans are usually elusive"

ABDUL HAMID "DEAo BRokE.v

From the New York Press.
 Abdul Hamid is out of money again. and the Turkish state officials have re- ceived only one months pay since last March. The Sultan stored away in his palaces by the shores of the Bosphorus gold and gems fashioned in every fantas- tic and artistic form and combination of which the imagination can conceive. There are great bowls of solid gold, filled to the brim with pearls of great price; heaps of diamonds. score of the largest of which are valued at s, 900, GOO; rubies, sapphires, amethysts, and other precious stones in seemingly endless rrofusion; jeweled scimitars and horse trappings heavy with solid gold-in short, a colIec- ton of useless and splendid ornaments before which the treasures of the Arab ian Nights sink into insignihcance, and which are estimated to represent between $15O, ,0O0.O 900 and $20O, 100000 of value. Yet Abdul Hamid sits in the Yildiz Kiosk absolutely dead broke" as usual-the most splendid hobo in existence.

DECADENT EPOCH IN THE
 MODERN COMIC OPERA

When each capable performer was made star" with assistants taken from the chorus. operas were no longer possible, and a new form of enter tainment was invented to fit the incom- petence of the performers. The public accepted 1t because 1t could get nothing better. But even this has now become so hopelessly degenerate that the pub lie shows signs of weariness, and the newest shows that have won success are those that indicates some intelligent striving toward the essentials forms of comic opera. Can any one doubt, if a librettist should arise with the wit of Meilhac and Halevy or of W. s. Gil- bert, a composer with the genius of Offenbach. of Strauss or Suppe. or of Sullivan, that comic opera would be as popular as ever?

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs.
Brutal Taste.

"I cannot understand the feeling which prompts men to want to witness a hang ing said a man yesterday as he watch ed the crowds coming from the jail yard.
 Tt Is easy for me to understand how a man can be frenzied with passion and help to take the life of a negro but the feeling that makes man coolly and de- liberateiy a witness to such revolting sight is beyond my comprehension. To say that 1t is a morbid curiosity Is put ting 1t very mildly. I understand that the sheriff and his deputies are always de- luged with applications for passes to hangings, and are compelled to refuse dozens of people every time an execution takes place in the county. It seems to me it would be a good rule to make hang ings absolutely private and to admit no one except those who have to perform the work"

judue Denson's lcharoe.

Judge Denson, whose courage and capacity were well tested in Fillmore county, recently discussed before the grand jury of Taliapoosa the subject of peonage, and his charge is the em- bodiment of good sense and good law. He at no point In his charge attempt ed in any manner to excuse those "persons who engaged In the practice of peonage disregarded the principles of good citizenship, turned aside from the path of duty, unheeded the cries of the weak and helpless, took ad- vantage of ignorance, and in violation of law and good morals, piled their trade almost in the shadow of the court house."
 He proceeded to call for a healthy public sentiment on the subject, and he deplored the fact that the state ha no act specifically aimed at peon- age. All that can be done in the state courts is to convict such offenders of Kidnapping, assault and battery and false Imprisonment.
 He showed with clearness and much good sense that the state courts had not been derelict; that offenders had been indicted, but owing to the lack of witnesses it was impossible to con- vict them The witnesses had depart ed from the state, and there was no power by which they could be brought back. The lack, too, of detectives and of ample money and power also stood in the way. The state would have done It's full duty if it could have summoned the witnesses that the gov ernment did at Montgomery. This was, however, impossible.
 Judge Denson in nowise criticized Judge Jones. On the contrary he up- held all that the federal court had ac- complished, and he proceeded to charge the grand jury that they should supplement that work by industrious ly patiently, fearlessly and impar- tially inquiring into the whole busi ness," and he particularly charged them to inquire into the action of jus tices of the peace. If they find that justices of the peace have prostituted their offices for gain "to the oppres- sion of the helpless, the weak and the

DIE WAcHT AM RHElN. (The Watch Ger the Rhine.)

By Max Schneckenberger. With thundea shout the air is rent, Like roar of waves and sword clash blent, Now, of the German Rhine so free, Who will the rivers guardian be?''
 CHORUS: Thou, fatherland. may'st tranquil be. Thy faithful sons will watch o'er thee; Steadfast and true each son, each son
 of thine,
 Stands sentry o'er our Rhine, our noble
 Rhine!
 The people hear that mighty cry. Like lightning flashes ev'ry eye; That landmark ev'ry heart will keen. And watch unsleeping Der the deep. Thy tide reflects the heav'ns above, And heroes gaze on thee with love. And proudly breathe VOW to thee, Thou, Rhine, shalt ever German be. So long as blood flows in each vein. Or hands to draw the sword remain, And while an arm is in the land, No foe shall walk upon thy strand. The waves re-echo back the cry, The standards in the breeze doth fly, The Rhine. the German Rhine, so free, Yes, we will all thy guardians be.

A GREAT BOOM AHEAD.

From the Boston Advertiser.
 It looks as if the next six months would see still another impetus in the great wave of prosperity which Is sweeping over the United States. The wheat crop will be in the neighborhood of 7OO'oOO'OOo bushels The cotton crop may be 100000 bales. or over 80 per cent of the worlds output The corn crop will be tre- mendous one. perhaps 25OOoOOOOO bushels. The output of manufacturers now that labor troubles are pretty we'll straighten- ed out, will foot up to $15,0oo,OOO,O 900. The mineral output will go over S,4OO,oOo,OOO.
 Yet over in Wall street the past week, stocks have been flung upon the market recklessly, as If something terrible had happened. Because some big speculators got beyond their depth and tried to re- alize in a few days on what they had been buying for a good many months, the small fry got frightened and "un- loaded" too. They unloaded their good stuff as well as their bad stuff And the only net result, outside few insolven- cies, Is to prove what little place Wall street is. after all

Hard on Linen.

Laundry machinery gets the dirt out of linen but 1t seems to me that it cuts collars and cuffs more than 1t did a year or two age,' remarked a young man.
 T try to be economical but my linen costs me 50 per cent more than formerly, all because of the laundry. twenty five cent collar that used to last year Is now frazzled and thrown away after six washings.
 Tt may be that the dirt and smoke of sure necessary here than is the case in other cities. and consequently more fraz- zling. but I suspect the up-to-date ma chinery has much to answer for.''

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 N SOUND and successful operatic V singer of long and honorable ,,s ex- 2 perience was quoted by the New York correspondent of the Public Ledger recently in some timely observations on tba decline of comic opera. Mir. Carlton expressed the belief that the public must soon be satiated with the show girf' im- localities which have recently supplanted that form of stage art, and will welcome a return to "the more refined and intelli- gent amusements of the past.
 It is impossible to believe otherwise without assuming that music and comedy alike have lost their power of appeal and that intelligent minds can be continuously diverted by the art of the dressmaker The shows that have been popular of late have made some appeal to the eye. but rarely to any other organ of sense. They are not witty; they are not musical; they exact no more from the performers than gymnastic drill; at their best they are a sort of sublimated cake walk Let us grant that they are harmless and that they may even be diverting; the enter tainment which they can afford bears no relation to that which is derived from real music or real comedy
 Has the public, then. lost the taste to which a successful appeal formerly was made in comic opera? There Is no reason to believe it. It may be that the old comic opera would be less success full now, because there are changing fash ions in all forms of art and only the few great masterpieces keep their freshness from age to age. But 1t Is not possible to accept the show girl and the coon song of the present as the artistic equivalent of the comic opera of the generations past. Until these later years, the succession was scarcely broken. There were the old ballad operas of the earlier part of the last century; there was the long line of lovely opera comique, illuminated by such masters as Auber and Adam and Flotow; there was the new laughter that burst out with offenbachs sparkling music and was prolonged by Lecoq and the others; there was the brilliant Viennese school of Strauss of Suppe and Genee, romantic, picturesque. meiodious; not least there was the work of Gilbert and Sullivan. which has not yet lost it's power to de- light, Each of these in it's turn was a distinct manifexation of fine art belong ing to it's period, yet with dramatic and musical coherence that gave 1t more than ephemeral value. But librettists are more barren even than the composers. and the costumer makes up for the deficiencies of both.
 The managers say they are giving the public what 1t wants. The public takes what it can get. The first considera- ton has been that it requires a com pany of artists to produce a comic opera, whereas one clown, with a few amateurs, an immature soubrette and dozen show girls, will suffice. with the gowns for musical comedy" so call ed This was the economical reason for breaking up the old opera companies.

ignorant" Judge Denson told the jury they should not only be impeached, but they should be indicted for cor ruption in office. "They are a part, he added in conclusion, "of the judi ciary of the state, and if guilty of the offense alleged, they are a disgrace to humanity and deserve to be held up in scorn before the public, and to serve a proper term in the peniten- tiary."

There are thirty-three new brigadier generals.
 Think of itl
 Thrty-three flashing and dashing war riors in gold lace galore, and with buttons that corruscate like the stars on the robe of night.
 Thirty-three doughty leaders of men whose spines are stiffened with dignity, and whose legs are curved with horse manship, and whose chests are conveyed with a sense of the favor they confer upon the public by merely existing.
 Happy uniforms. happy gold lace. hap py buttons. happy horses that bear these knightly brigadiers-and long may the goddess of peace keep them un- spoiled and intact
 Florious thirty-three, we salute you
