best subserved by the reelection of Senator Depew. In the position which occupy I am frequently called upon the pass upon the claims of friends. and while my sympathy may be, as was the case in the present Senatorial contest, with one stronger than the other, yet one must recognizc the fact that personal interests must always be subservient to party success.
 "A month ago my knowle0ye of the situation in the State was not as com plete as 1t is at present and those og my friends who thought that a change might be desirable for party reasons. must now recognize the sentiment which has manifested itself all over the State so strongly for the return of Senator Depew. Such being the case 1t would have been the worst kind of party generalship to have run coun- ter to this expressed public opinion" : Late in the. afternoon a letter was given out. addressed by Mir Black himself to Senator Depew in which the former governor withdraws his name from further consideration for the senatorship and declares that in this course his duty as Republican and his private sentiments coincide. for he personal tastes have been distinctly against entering a contest. or even ac- cepting public office. even If it came without controversy"
 In a graceful letter of reply Senator Depew thanks Mir. Black for his cor-- dial sentiments and declares that the former governors action places the party under great obligation to him.

 BAPTIST CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT.
 A most pleasant occasion was afford ed the people of the Clayton Street Baptist Church on Monday night in the exercises rendered. It was the an- nual entertainment of the Sunday School held in the auditorium. Songs of Yuletide stirred the hearts of the audience and waited them back to "reminiscences of bygone days. Tho children aN acquitted. themselves cred itably. From the first to the last, not jar or disturbance came to mar the pleasure of the occasion or break the symmetry of the program.
 The audience was held with rapt at- tention to the close. Many times they gave expression to their delight with bursts of applause.
 The entertainment was planned and the children drilled and trained by Mrs. J. W. O'Hara and Mrs. J, J. Rut- ter, both of whom have proven them- selves efficient workers in line of chil- dren's work asd deserve much credit.
 At the close of the exercises Santa Claus came fin through a window and distributed the presents from the Christmas tree. Every one went away pleased aIsd happy and loud fin the praises of the exercises.
 The primary and senior departments of the Clayton Street Baptist Sunday School are growing greatly and the leaders hope fin the coming year to ho much moro efficient work than during the closing year.

MIR. BURNETT TALKS
SEVENTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN
 IN MONTGOMERY.
Is well Pleased With presentation of Claims of Alabama River. But Doubts That Appropriation WiA Be Made.

Coneressnan John L. Burnett, the man of many battles from the seventh District, came to Montgomery directly from Washington yesterday. He will return to Washington by next Wednes- day, going by Gadsden, his home, atter he has attended to the filing of few briefs in the Supreme Court of Ala bama. -.. ....
 Congressman Burnett praises highly the convincing manner in which the Alabama River Convention delegates presented the memorial a few days ago to the ub-committee of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of Congress. The address of w. r. Vandiver or Mont gomery he says, was particularly well received by the members of the sub- committee and that Chairman Burton was impressed was evident.
 But I'm afraid that troublesome de- ficit is going to knock many hopes skyward." said the Congressman mood fly. That deficit, In my opinion, will pull down the aggregate of the rivers and harbors bill to $40,00o,00O or $50,- 100000.
 'aThe appropriation will never reach the $6O.000,00 mark. as 1t has done. But you may be certain that bill will be passed at this session"
 'The memorial presented by the Ala bama River delega ton. MT. Burnett, did 1t leave any room for doubt as to the investment being an attractive one? he was asked.
 "The report of the engineer makes 1t one of the most inviting propositions that are piled up before the commit tee. The $50o,00O asked, covering $10o,- 900 annually for five years. to> improve the Alabama River for all-the-year- round navigation. is not too much to be entertained.
 Congressman Burnett spoke of the excellent health of Senators Pettus and Morgan. He says he confidently be- lieves Senator Pettus will reach the century mark. The last decade has made no apparent inroads on the aged Senator from Alabama.

Smith cannot do better than this, he should have rested on Robin Hood" "
 Last season splendid company of conscientious work. and left an excel lent impression on Montgomery. res- terday we had fine example of the dependence of an entertainment on It's for the failure, of "A Girl from Dixie" was the listlessness of the chorus. men and women. their utter lack of sup port in the singing and their amateur stage management of "A Girl from Dixie" and 1t was manifest to the au- dience in every part of the perform ance.
 When the male chorus yesterday struck discord to Miss Mlllington's pretty song. American Heiress." the mind retrospectively covered year and recalled the line male chorus in "A Girl from Dixie that made this song one Of the hits of last season.
 If the chorus had been left of the stage and Mir. Bowers alone had been given us. we would have been more raptured Montgomery several years ago In The Shade of the Sheltering Palms" Mir. Bowers has been a favor ite here. He is never dlsappointing: A C.""Glory." and Bubbles" were fine. very fine-until the chorus broke in upon them. Then one felt like going out to a saloon for a time.
 The principals were fairly good. They appeared. however. to. be Iaboring un- der the handicap of the chorus and tho entertainment was in consequence de- void of the animation, ginger. if you please, so necessary to musical com edy.
 The character work of Mir. Leigh, as Lord Dunsmore. was very good: MT. Dan was as funny as was expected; Mir. Keogh was satisfactory as aSuuire Mink and Mir. Sheffer made Maria Louisa con. vincing.
 Miss Millington might have been more yivacious and one was left with the impression that her mistrust of the chorus marred the beauty of some of her vocal numbers.
 Olga May and Julia Brink are pretty enough and they answered to every call that was made-on them.
 "A Girl from Dixie" was not a suc- cess at its beginning. and with an in- different company 1t is fine tliustra- ton of musical comedy gone to seed.
 The ploy was witnessed by an audi ence at the matinee that filled every seat in the theatre. The patronage at night was as large as MT. Shubert's company deserved.
