A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

mr. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers i'm Nanesmond county
uled recently while in the prime of life. and
his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
Oh certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely 70 overlook.
Nearly all business men, and partic,,Iarl,,
men In the business of farming have plans i'm
manu- at all times that others cannot take M
on the instant and mature successfully. Tbov
must nave time 10 become familiar with
"DETAILS, and have ready money to cover DELAYS
involved, as well as to continue operations
DR. Brinkley could always command money
needed To tide him over emergencies: but for
ms estate to do such thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active I'm business
ana seldom had large balance in bank. He
kept mis- money at work. As a consequence.
"hen stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulties and as n prudent
business man prepared for them several wears
ago by taking out policy of life insurance IN,
the Phoenix Mutual OF Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix in payment of this
policy was, as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount TO his family in the
protection which 1t afforded its various
interests.
upon receipt of request we will serd pam
pnlet describing Phoenix policies.

socIALIsTIC GAINS

One of the signs of the times is the large vote polled for the sOcialis; party in the United States and Canada at the elections that were held last week and the week previous. 10 iSsaid that more than 5000 ballots were poued iu Chl- c4go for Eugene V. Debs, the socialist candidate for the presidency, and that gains vera made by that party every where. To fact, the probabilities are that the official returns will show JEe vote received by DebS in the United States will be larger than thal ever be- fore cast by a regularly organized third" party at a preS.deutia, election except the vote for Willard Fill more, the "kuow-uOthiug' nominee iu 1856, sndl that given tO James E. Weaver, the populjSt candidate in lN'2.
 The gains Of this party in Canada have been quite as startling aS they haze been in the United States. lu- deed, the meager returns at hand indi-  cate that socialism has an even -trOnger hold in Canada than iJ has in this country. In the NauaimO district ot British Columbia the liberal nominee defeated the socialist by very narrow margin notwithstanding the hbera. had, in addition to his party support, an endorsement from an independent labor party. Ia Vancouver there was a large socialist vote nearly 500, and in staid and conservative Victoria, it was about 100.
 These things ind cate tha. adspres- sion in business affairs, with the cOnSe- quent limitation of the labor demand, IS all that will be required to make So- cialism an interesting factor in Ameri- can and Canadian politics.

PATRoNIzE HOME MERCHANTS

The time is not inOpportune to re- mind the people of Skagway that 1t they desire to keep their city on the highway of prosperity they should pa- tronize their home merchants. lt IS said that there are those here who send 10 the south for the groceries and other articles they require for house. keeping, etc. That is not necessary and, therefore, not patriotic, The merchants of Skagway carry large and we'll selected stocks, The best the markets afford are available to the peo- pie of this city at prices that are In all respects reasonable. The merchants have large capital invested iu the ousi- ness of bringing to the people here lil the advantages to provide for their homes, their table and their wardrobe that are afforded those who reside in the metropolitan empOriumS Of the states. These merchants pay heavy taxes to maintain the town. They pay double taxes. They are caught by the city government for the pro rata on the valuation of the goods they have in stock and they pay heavy license tax which finds it's way into the city treasury for the benefit of the schools and the mu- nicipality. They are entitled to the support of the people for VI hOm they have done and are doing much.
 It would be different, probably, ii. there were any disposition on thepart ot the merchants to hold the people up, but there is not. When irejgh, rates, the risks of loss and damage from the incidents of transportation are taken into account people can do better by making all neediul purchases at home than they can by sending below, and they have the advantage of personal in- spectiou when they patrouize the Skag- way merchants. The Daily Alaskan, submits, iu all fairness, that those pec- pie whose incomes from their Occupa- tion in this city owe it to the Skagway merchants, to the town and tO them selves to give their patronage to ;he institutions which form the backbone of the town, and which are drawing tO it much of the wholesale business Of the north,

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Sultan of suIu."

This afternoon and tonight 'rhe Sultan of Sulu'' will delight the amusement loving people of Birmingham at the Jef- ferson theatre. There Is no chance for disappointment for this attraction is too well known to be anything less than Is claimed. "The Sultan of Sulu'' is a merry, tuneful musical comedy affair that bristles with satire and wit, and is presented with leaven of humor that has made 1t one of the greatest successes of its kind that has ever been presented in New York. George Ade Is a clever fel- low who never turns out poor work, but in "The Sultan of Sulu' he did himself proud.
 The story of the piece deals with the sultan of Sulu, or Jolo, who gets Into all kinds of trouble as a result of having too many wives. The advent of the American cocktail Into the island adds to his confusion and when his territory is acquired by American soldiers who do not sanction polygamy, he Is indeed In a parlous plight. There are many humor- ous characters who furnish the fun, while a touch of oriental color lends brilliancy to the production. A pleasing feature will be chorus of well drilled young women who look well, dance well and otherwise create a very favorable lm- pression.
 The music of "The Sultan of Sulu" Is said to be exceptionally pretty. It was written by Alfred G. Walthall and is always encored. Among the numbers that have won favor are: "The Smiling Isle of Sulu," the military Hike" song, "En- gagged in a Sort of Way" "The U. s. A." "If I But Knew" "R-e-m-o-r-s-e," xxi rams Wedding March," and Take Me Back to Manistee."

CHARGES AGAINST
 BESSEMER MEN
PROMINENT CITIZENS ARE AR RESTED FOR SEEMING IN THE WATERWoRKs cIsTERN-ALL ARE RELEASED ON BOND.

Bessemer October 19.-(Special. )-Con- siderable excitement was caused in Bes- semer tonight at 10:3O clock by 8 num- Der of leading citizens being arrested on the charge of seining in the cistern of the Bessemer water works company. In the party who made the arrests were: Police Captain John Leonard, Officer Will Lynch and others. The men arrested were: c. A. Adams, a prominent business man; Marshal Fitzpatrick clerk of the inferior court; J. J. Haynes. engineer on the louisville and Nashville railroad, and MT. Perkins All were promptly releas- ed on a bond of $1O0 each.
 The preliminary hearing of the young men will come up before Judge William Jackson of the Bessemer inferior court at date to be set later.
 The cistern Is located about mile from Bessemer and furnishes the entire water supply of the city. When the men were caught, 1t Is stated that they had already taken about 175 fish. The charges book ed against the men will be trespassing and pollutlng water.
 For some time the city officials have been troubled by unknown persons fish ing In the pond and in addition to keep ing a sharp lookout posters have been placed around, warning everyone to keep off the company's premises.

EFFORT IS MADE TO
 REACH COMPROMISE
COMMITTEE ON CANoNS WANTS DIVORCED PERSONS SEEKING REMARRIAGE TO BE FORGED TO WAIT FOR A YEAR.

Boston, October 19.-An attempt was made today by the committee on canons of the Episcopal house of deputies to ar range a compromise between that body and the house of bishops. The bishops had adopted an amendment forbidding the remarriage of divorced persons, while the deputies had declined to accept so rigid provision, owing to the fact that a majority of them took stand opposite to that of the house of bishops.
 The committee on canons offered a reso- lution compelling divorced persons seek ing remarriage to wait one year after the decree of the court has been issued, before the solemnization of the cere- mony.
 By this resolution, which referred to the innocent person in divorce for in- fidelity only, 1t was hoped to secure at least a temporary agreement between the two forces. After some debate the di- vorce issue was made special order for tomorrow.
 The deputies devoted a large part of the day to the consideration of a request from several dioceses for permission to use the revised version of the Bible in churches. The house was divided and the request was refused by a majority of both clerical and lay delegates. In the house of bishops both Henry c. Pot ter of New York, chairman of the stand Ing committee on the relations of capital and labor, presented a length report which touched upon certain evils. The committee found and discussed the in- dustrial situation at length.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE
 RECEIVED BY THE POPE
Pontlff Manifests Greatest Fraternal Affection and Consideration
 for Prelate.

Rome, October 19.-The pope today re- ceived Archbishop Chapelle of New Or- leans, the papal delegate to Cuba and Porto Rico, in private audience.
 At the audience Bishop Chapelle took his farewell of the pope, who manifested the greatest paternal affection and consid- eration for the American prelate, granting whatever he asked.
 The pontiff said he highly appreciated the message conveyed to him by the arch bishop from President Palma, and charged Archbishop Chapelle to express to the President In turn his good wishes, and to convey his hope that especially through the apostolic delegate, the best relations would continue to exist between the Gu ban government and the Catholic church.
 Archbishop Chapelle's visit to Rome, it Is asserted, will be fruitful of excellent results, especially concerning the inter ests of the papal delegation in the An tiles He expects to arrive at New Or leans toward the middle of November.

At the BiIou.

It Is astonishing how the people are focl1ing to the Bijou to witness every performance of "A Desperate Chance" /" Even the management Is surprised by the heavy business done. While the play is decidedly sensational 1t has apparent ly made a hit in Birmingham and has drawn good houses since the opening night.
 In "A Desperate Chance" melodramatic situations, pathos and real tragedy abound. Dealing as 1t does with the ad- ventures of the noted Riddle brothers. the play Is necessarily very emotional and the interest is held until the curtain descends on the last act. after the death of the two Riddles and the reconciliation of the warden with his erring wife. The staging of this production is clever and the company Is fully up to the average found in melodrama.
 There will be the usual matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight.
