Vulcan and Baseball,

Today at 3 o'clock the visiting New
York team and the home team will
play at West End park a game of base
ball for the benefit of the Vulcan fund.
One can spend an afternoon in the
balmy spring air, while watching the
efforts of the home team to restrain
within reasonable bounds a team
picked regardless of cost from eighty
millions Of people. 1t is worth more
than the admission price to see n
picked band of athletes, every one Of
whom stands six feet in his stockings.
1t will be worth while to see how
well the Birmingham team stands up
against the Giants from New York.
1t is chance to see the best in base
ball, and at the same time to see who
have been selected as Birmingham s
pennant winners.
Every dollar of the money paid by

"a fund that will provide not only the
representative and huge Iron Man, but
will also gather a fine exhibit of the
resources of this district, to be laid at
the feet of Vulcan in the very center
of the Mines palace at st. Louis. Let
there be then a great outpouring of the
people to see todays game. The New
York Nationals will put in the box
Pitcher McGinnity and possibly the
redoubtable Matthewson, and the home
team will endeavor to hold the visit
ors down to low score.
The promotion of Vulcan, the fine
weather, and the skill of the two teams
should fill every seat, and fully $500
persons can be comfortably seated at
West End park, and twice that num-
Der can be reasonably well accommo-
dated.

The Air Cure.

Health cranSs are -devoting much at
tention to what is known as the air cure
these days" said a physician yesterday.
This cure is especially recommended for
consumption and pulmonary complaints,
but II the patient makes up his or her
mind to be cured. it Is perhaps as effica-
cious for one trouble as for another The
craze for air cures has become so great
that people are now buying choice atmos-
pheres in tanks, jugs and bottles when
they are unable to get to the vicinity
where that particular brand of air is to
be breathed.
mo one doubts the beneficial effects Of
pure air. 1t is the verest drivel to tell q
man he ought to get out in the open as
much as possible. because he knows that
as well as you, but there is no doubt that
the air cure has been sadly overdone.
THE main reason why enterprising
managers are successful in selling In
valids so much water and air two very
unsubstantial elements on which to build
robust health, Is because the public de-
mands some kind of a cure that Is not
only pleasant but expensive. Some people
have an idea that the more money they
spend for a cure the better 1t is, and they
do not mind a mere matter of dollars
when they are in pursuit of health. How
ever, in taking course of air and water
1 would advise the patient to eat lit
tie something occasionally, for fear he
may starve to death before a cure is ef
fected"

Selecting Mr.. Thompson's Successor

II seems unseemly to be scrambling
over the vacancy created by the death
of the lamented Thompson, but on &C
count of the nearness of the primary
1t is necessary to act speedily. If Gov
ernor Jelks issues tomorrow or next
day a call for special election to fill
the unexpired term of the beloved Tus-
keegan, aspirants will have until Fri
day night next at IL o'clock In which
to qualify under the primary plan, thus
securing places on the official ballot.
Chairman Mallory of the state COM
mittee, as well as Chairman Helm of
the Fifth Congressional District COM
mittee, both hold that aspirants may
qualify at any time mot later than fif-
teen days next preceding the holding"
of the primary. Chairman Hehin says

Chairman Mallory they may have their
names printed on the official ballot.
The state committee had provided
that aspirants should file declarations
twenty days before the primary, but
Chairman Mallory, who is an excellent
lawyer, holds that the primary law is
higher law than executive committee
law, and 1t is practically settled that
declarations may be filed up to Friday
night next.
This construction of the law will en-
able the voters of the Fifth district to
select a man on April II to fill the I'M

ginning on March 4 next, always pro-
vided Governor Jelks calls before Fri

SUGGESTED IN 1902.
Samuel ChamplaIn First Saw Ad-
vantage of Panama Canal.

From the Chicago Tribune.
To Samuel Champlain belongs the honor
of being the first to note the desirability
of canal across the isthmus of Panama
and recommend it in 1902 in the report of
his voyage to the West Indies and Mex
leo made to his majesty, Henry ". of
France This report in manuscript was
discovered 200 years later in possession of
NJ. Ferret. librarian of the public library
at Dieppe, and was translated and pub
llshed for the first time by the Hakluyt
society of London. The great explorer in
his report says:
This port of Panama, which Is on the
sea of the south, is good. there being a
good anchorage, and the town is mer-
camille. In this place in Panama is col
lected all the gold and silver that comes
from Peru, and where 1t Is embarked with
other riches upon little river which rises
in the mountains and descends to Porto
Bello, which river is four leagues from
Panama, from whence all the gold. silver,
and merchandise must be conveyed on
mules, and being embarked on said river
there are but eighteen leagues to Porto
Bello.
zone may judge that If the four leagues
of land which there are from Panama to
this river were cut through one might
pass from the south sea to the OCEAN on
the other side and thus shorten the route
by more than 1900 leagues; and from
Panama to the Straits of Magellan would
be an island. and from Panama to New
foundland would be another island, so
that the whole of America would be In
two islands"

Popcorn Is Popular.

1.-THE heavy sales of popcorn in Birming-
ham continue and the market does not
seem to fiuctuate very widely" said a
citizen who patronizes one of the wagons
to be found on the street corners. ITO
one who has never bought OF 1t there is
surprise in store when he learns just
how much popcorn is sold in the large
cities every year. The while flakes spread
out over the country like snow and the
men who make a living selling 1t consti-
tute an army.
I'm Birmingham there are quite a num-
Der of popcorn peddlers who do thriving
business with the ladies and children
These seem to be the most profitable Gus
toners, although staid business men also
have weakness in that direction. The
busiest hour of the popcorn man is in
the afternoon from 5 to o'clock, and also
from to in the summer time 1t Is
then that the department stores turn out
throngs of shop girls who often buy pop
corn to take home with them, while the
unusually large number of pedestrians at
that hour also renders business lively"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
An Astral seeress.

There is a new sensation in New York
who calls herself an astral seeress'' ="
said travelling man yesterday. ms
woman has been telling large audiences
in New York all kinds of strange stories
about the things she has seen on the
planet Mars, from which she has but re-
Gently returned. According to the seer
ess'' the Martians are very interesting
people who are we'll charged with elec-
tricity. They play with the terrible nolo
as If 1t were a wreath Of smoke and the
electro sparks flash from their limbs with
the dazzling rapidly of the first class
dynamo product. II her tales are true
the Martians have Edison discounted so
badly that he will never be able to hold
up his head again. No street lights are
needed, because the Martians are them
selves very luminous on all occasions and
when they desire to read in the dark they
merely turn on their individual currents
THE Marian women are described as
beautiful, of course. with daintily shaped
forms and very fair compilations. 1t Is to
be supposed that they do not paint. The
men are worthy of such dazzling Great
ures in every respect, since they are huge
warriors wrapped in luminous fame and
emitting thunderbolts from their persons.
But this Is merely part of the Won
derful narrative which the seeress is re-
counting to New York. If she Is really In
earnest about her disclosures she Is well
on her wav TO some quiet ward in a sani-
tarium or else she has been indulging in
stimulants that act too powerfully on the

HOBSON WOULD GUST
BANKHEAD FROM SEAT

| IT never before have been treated with
| such lack of respect by my own people"
Foremost among the political workers
opposed to Colonel Bankhead's return to
congress is L. B. Musgrove of Jasper,
Walker county, general manager of the
Pittsburg Coal company's Alabama
mines Mr.. Musgrove was mentioned re-
Gently as a candidate for governor but
the proposition did not warm the vitals
of the Alabama voters to any manifesto
tions. and 1t is promised that Mr.. Mus
grove, as well numbers of other gem
tlemen. want to get Mr.. Bankhead out
of the way so as to have an open field for
themselves
Hobson was hit upon as the bright par
ticular instrument with which to force
Mr.. Bankhead from his throne. The Sc
lection has been proved to be a good one
When Hobson is not making political
speeches he Is lecturing in churches and
schools, for the Daughters of the Con-
I federacy and of the Revolution, and on
Sundays he does the duties of a lay read
err In Episcopal churches. Verify, the cap
tain is a man of many parts A shrewd
politician sized up the situation as related
to the casting of the ballot as follows:
Bankhead majorities-Green county, ESQ;
Tuscaloosa, S00 Fayette, 250; Lamar, 100;
Marion. $50. Total. 1850.
Hobson majorities-Hale, 700; Sumter,
so; Pickens. 400; Walker, $50. Total, 400.
Majority for Bankhead 49,
1t will be seen that this margin is a
very narrow one, and shows how very
doubtful of success are the friends of
Captain Bankhead.
The district of this picturesque fight
embraces one of the most important min s
eral counties In the state, two typical
black belt counties. and three white
counties famous for wildcat stills and
a paucity of agricultural or other devel-
opment
Young Hobson. who has spent all his
life in upper social circles. has the quick
wit and sensitive appreciation of the eter-
nal fitness of things. He accommodates
himself to all sorts of audiences, and 10
as much at home in the woods as In the
heads friends that when he Joined debate
with Hobson back in the woods among
the "od-t timers they would rally to his
side. But they have not rallied. The
naval prodigy apparently Is as convincing
to ''sagers" and the ''woolhat" boys as he
is to the fluttering hearts of the young
women-or of the old women, who have
not forgotten that they once were young
and were wooed and won by handsome
striplings.
| The joint debates are scheduled to con-
| tinue over a period of ten days more.
| Possibly they may be abridged on account
| of the wear and tear upon Mr. Bankhead,
whose years do not render him able to
stand the fatigue of continuous travel as
well as his younger foe.

NEVER SAW A TRAIN.
Negro Boy Thought 1t Would Be Fun

railroad, which occurred on the 18th inst
has been cleared away by the capture and
confession of Sim Parrish, boy between

bears an excellent reputation. He claims
to have never seen train before, and
the deed was done to see the train jump

Withdrawal of Mr. Lowe.

The withdrawal of Mr. Lowe re-
duces the contest for president of the
railroad commission to Mr.. Conner
Mr.. Smith, and Mr.. Kolbb, all we'll
known citizens. But Mr.. Conner stands
for an indiscriminate onslaught on
rates and methods of doing railroad
business.
The issue is very far-reaching, and
the citizens of Alabama cannot evade
It, If the railroads of Alabama are
rendered unproductive, no more rail-
roads will be built in this state, and
we have dozen counties that lack
adequate railroad facilities, and there
is not single county in the state that
has all the railroads it desires. Not
only would no more railroads be built,
but those that are in operation would
be narrowed down to the utmost limit
The number of trains would be less
ened; wages of employees would be
reduced. and economies of other sorts
freely applied. Railroad investors did
not come to Alabama for the sake Of
their health; they came here to make
investments that would bring them fair
and Just returns. Is there a railroad
In the state that is earning more than
that? If SO, name it, and let us have
full particulars. The Age-Herald does
not know Of such a case. he Louis
not know of such case. The Louis
holders but per cent; the Southern
does not pay any dividends on its conf
mon stock; the Georgia Central and
Frisco are not dividend earners.
The issue is one that should be con-
sidered calmly and broadly. The ques-
tions that come before the railroad
commission are largely of judicial
nature, and q biased mana man who
declares he Will cut rates unmercl1uliy
cannot adjust such questions to the
real and permanent good of this state.
The state needs at the head of the
commission a man who will act WISE
ly, impartially and thoughtfully. 1t
needs a man who would try railroad
question brought before him as Judge
Sam. Greene, for example, would try
a man charged with some offehse
against the law. This is the kind of
man the state needs, and the with
drawal of Mr.. Lowe forces upon the
individual the responsibility of select
ing such a man from the candidates
left in the race.

reside there. He may be said to be
the last Of the carpetbag regime.
If the house sustain the action of
the committee on judiciary. it will Sc
lect managers to present before the
senate the prosecution or house size
of the case, and then Judge Swayne
will be given an opportunity TO present
his side of the case. . The senate sits
as court to try him, and the trial will
prolong the session perhaps several
weeks.
The proceedings designed to GUST
Andrew Johnson from the presidency
will be recalled by older readers. No
impeachment case has come up since
that time, and in all the history of the
government only three judges have
been mpeached-Judge Pickering of
New Hampshire, Judge Chase of Penn
sylvania, and Judge Peck of Missouri.
Judge Swayne will complete the quar-
tete, and If current reports be correct
he deserves to be hailed before the SEN
ate and tried. In case of conviction,
he will lose his place on the bench,
and his standing among honorable men.
This is not the time or place to con-
slider the evidence in the Swayne case,
but where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire. The people
of Florida have been very patient, and
no doubt Judge Swayne should be put
upon trial before the United States
senate.
