COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

heroes who fell on the battle field of Bull Run are inclined to laugh in mockery at the travesty that is now being enacted on the historic spot but they should re- member that the maneuvers are giving excellent training to our citizen soldiery as we'll as our regular troops in the gentle art of war.
 It will be pleasant news for Birming- ham theatre-goers to learn that Viola Allen is coming again and will interpret one of Shakespeare's masterpieces next March. Miss Allen is a great favorite here and while metropolitan critics are at times inclined to pick flaws in her acting. that is privilege metropolitan critics en- joy and what they have to say will lessen not a particle the admiration in which this clever star Is held by Birmingham people. She may have defects but her good qualities so greatly overshadow them that they are easily forgotten. A millionaire died the other day who was known far and wide as the tramp's best friend. As his body was borne to the scene of it's cremation many rough fe- lows muttered: "E ad a heart, pard,' and there Is none to deny the worth of such a tribute. Perhaps the dead million aire was more of a philanthropist than those whose names are heralded abroad over the land as donators of large sums to public libraries, schools and hospitals, and perhaps he did wrong in 'pauperiz- ing the riff raff of humanity, but his chances of heaven are very good A great many finical individuals raise their hands is horror at the mere suggestion of giv- ing quarter to tramp and appeals from such a source are always curtly turned down. but it should be remembered that even a tramp beneath his repusive ex- terior, may conceal sorrow that has sent him wanderer over the earth. ] The long-neglected Statue of Liberty, that has endured the buffeting of wind and wave for nearly twenty years with out repairs, Is at last to be thoroughly renovated and restored to lts former state 1 of perfection, although Father Time has | laid his hands rather heavily upon the l figure It is hard to imagine what would become of all the picture albums If there were no Statue of Liberty to adorn their pages, along with the Washington mon- dment, the national capitol and the White l House. The war department Is taking a 1 wise step in having Bartholdls gift re- stored and brought up to date. so that Liberty will no longer feel ashamed of her personal appearance when under the fire of English monocles.

 It Is reported that King Edward of England is the "loudest" dressed mon arch in all Europe and were he not king his taste in the matter of colors would be challenged by dandies who do not in cline toward bizarre effects. No doubt King Edward considers 1t one of the most treasured privileges of royalty to be able to wear pink linen shirts, stand ing pink linen collars ana a crimson band about his hat without being laughed at. Few people, other than kings, would dare to commit such . violent assault on modesty.
 A subscriber writes the following to the editor of the New York Times:
 When Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States he was walking in the street one day when a negro bowed to him. He returned the salute. His companion saio:
 " What, bow to a negro?'"
 Jefferson answered.: T would not have negro surpass me In pollteness.
 ''Probaly the Georgia officer at the maneuvres of whom the Times reporter writes never learned this Jeffersonian les son.
 The writer shows by his illustration that he is altogether ignorant of military | etiquette There are few, very few, south ern people who will not speak courteously and kindly to a negro or reply to his salutation when passing. but in the army an inferior officer is required to salute his superior first and keep his hand to his cap until the salute is recognized. That is probably why the Georgia of ficer showed himself lacking in "Jeffer- sonian" courtesy, when he refused to salute colored officers. The negro in the anecdote spoke first to Jefferson and the Father of Democracy did no more than any other southern man would do under the circumstances.
 The sham battle at Manassas seems to be very pleasant. May-day affair in which heroes are made in the twinklng of an eye without bloodshed. No one will attempt to deny that 1t Is far more satisfactory to play" dead than to ac- tually be subject for the nearest un- dertaker and the fact that the battles are not as realistic as they appear de- tracts none from the enjoyment of specta- tors.
