cheaner Theatre Seats.

The Manhattan, Majestic and New
York theatres have reduced the price
of orchestra seats to S150, and Sydney
Rosenfield, the playwright, is engaged
in organizing a company which will
produce new plays in fine style at low
prices. He thus presents his pro
gramme:
ut is my intention to return to the
stock system of the old WalaclS days.
and to charge 81 for the largest number
of reserved seats in the house, and 81 so
for the choicest ones--utterly and COM
pletely effacing the Spectator by sys-
fem at least as efficacious as that put in
10 practice by the late Augustn DAILY.
MY seats will be open to the public at the
advertised prices, with a clean, unhypo-
,thecated box office sheet for every per-
4formance, with only such variations
therefrom as the rights of subscribers
step in this direction. the present pernici-
Gus system of supplying the hotels with
tickets at the expense of the box office
patrons, will be summarily abolished"
The business at New York theatres
has been unusually light this winter,
and the new movement comes in as an
antidote. Other managers are consid-
ering reductions In the prices of seats.
Between the high prices and ticket
speculation, the theatrical business is
slack indeed, and managers are seek
ing remedy. Mr.. Resented has clear
~ found the true remedy. He pro-
poses to present good plays in the
hands Of good actors, and to ask there
for reasonable prices The dollar-a-seat
house seems to be coming, and the two
dollar-a-seat fellows to be going back
afoot over the ties.

1t Isn't So Easy, But Product Is De
lghtful.

From the Boston Globe.
To make the perfect cup of Turkish cof-
fee Is like many other things, very easy
when the maker knows how to do it, but
unless the art has been learned in Turkey
il is difficult
No one can make a perfect cup of cof-
fee unless he has been to Turkey. There
Is as much difference between the or
binary cup of coffee and the exquisite
and allurng beverage with all its subtle
aroma as made by the artist as there is
between horsefiesh and the best English
beef. The Turks method is simple They
have many little pots of various sizes If
they want to make two cups only they
use the smaller one, and if three cups a
larger one. When the water has boiled
they fill the little pot almost to the top
with water. then put In three Jumps OF
sugar and put the pot on the fire to boil.
When it is hot they put in two tea
spoonfnls OF coffee ground very fine, and
then stir Il round until 1t is thoroughly
mixed with the water
The next step is to place the pot on the
fire again and watch it very carefully
until the coffee bubbles up to a froth,
and before this froth escapes over the
side you take the pot from the fire and
tap the bottom gently on the stove till
coffee is allowed to bubble over the fire.
and the process of tapping the pot on
the stove is repeated three times
When the fourth rises TO the surface for
the fourth time the pot should be taken
from the fire and the coffee should be
poured first into one cup and then into
another, so that each cup contains a por-
ton of the froth on the top.
The Engishman cannot make coffee at
all. lie tries hard. but never succeeds
either In making a perfect cup of Turkish
or French coffee. The Frenchman. on the
other hand. also tries hard to make
perfect cup of Turkish coffee, but he
meets with little more success than the
Englishman.
One thing must never be forgotten. The
coffee must be freshly roasted and
ground 1t must not be roasted too black,
a dark brown is the ideal color Then
the flavor Is divine

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Gold Mining Will Pay.

To the Editor of The Age-lIerald
For long time it has been known that
gold existed in Cleburne. Randolph, Clay
and other counties in Alabama. 1t has
been supposed, however, that this gold
WAS found only in small quantities and
would not pay for extensive working
A few weeks ago. by request of several
of the leading citizens of this county,
(cleburne) | made an examination of GER
tain properties in Cleburne and RAN
dolph counties and found that gold was
present in much greater quantity than
had been hitherto supposed. | saw and
talked with many old residents who had
been pannng, scalping and rocking for
years and been making from zoe, to Sl.00
per day In the old-time way.
A visit to these old workings showed
me that they had washed and rewashed
many times In succession the gravel and
by hard knocks had eked out an exis-
tence | also saw so worth of gold that
was 500 l-2 per cent fine.
A careful examination Of the low lands,
acres adjoining streams, showed that
this low land is composed of about two
or three feet of soil and clay everything
from five to twenty feet of gravel.
This gravel rests Immediately on the

peace to the old historic party. Ex-
Secretary Whitney will sit at the fes-
tive board, it is said, alongside Con
gresham Williams, and August Bel
mont elbow to elbow with Congress
man DeArmond. Mr.. Hearst will pre-
sumably be given a place at the feast,
and no doubt a high place would be
assigned to Mr.. Bryan If he were in
the country instead of on the high
seas.
There is much of promise in today's
dinner, and it is not too much to hope
that not discordant note will be heard
at it. After eight years OF republican
rule the country bankers after demo-
cratic administration, and il all demo-
Gratis will get together, regardless of
past and obsolete differences, a demo
cratic victory will become assured. The
dinner tonight should sound the key
note.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
coosa River Fish story.

while down In Talladega county last
consider a good one" said a travel.-g
salesman last night at the Florence hotel.
"The largest catfish known to mankind
is said to be getting along swimmingly
in the Coosa river While [ have never
seen this specimen of the fnny tribe, still
have several good friends who have.
They tell me that for sometime past all
of the fishermen almost In Talladega
county have made attempts to land this
particular catfish, but so far all have
failed. Its favorte spot is In the river
at that point where the Choeolloeco creek
empties into the river.
The weight of the fish is estimated as
being anywhere from 200 to 100 pounds.
The diameter of its head from eye to eye
is said to be thrty-six inches. | am told
that the fish recently capsized boat
containing eight fishermen, who were on
the Coosa river, and they all had to swim
for their lives OF course no attempt has
been made for a long time to catch the
fish with a hook and line but the harpoon
method has been resorted to without
avail.
{ Il understand a party of experienced
fishermen with plenty Of necessary equip
ment will go to the river one day this
week and camp on the banks of the
stream until the fish has been caught.
They intend to send 1t to the National
museum at Washington as an exhibit of
Alabama fish"

Foreign Trade Outlook.

Henry Clews' Saturday circular says:
''The outlook for foreign trade during
1904 is as satisfactory as could reasona-
bly, be expected. Europe needs and will
freely take our food products and cot
ton at good prices Trade conditions
abroad are somewhat better than for the
past two years, which will encourage
foreign buying of American products
provided the International markets are
not seriously deranged by war. While
our agricultural products are likely to be
shipped freely, our exports of manufac-
lures are also likely to increase; easier
prices and cessation of the rush at home
inducing American manufacturers to Gull
tivate the export trade. for which they
have become eminently qualified.
The tendency In the future. therefore
should be. If no untoward events prevent
for our exports, especially of manufac-
lures, to increase, while imports win
decline owing to lower prices here and
Improvement abroad. Eventually our ex-
port trade will be found safety valve
of incalcuable value and Importance
one that will delay and soften any BUSH
ness reaction that may come from over
production"

The creed of life. If we may so term 1t,
VIII be definite, seaching, severe in its
penalties and as relentless as they are in
life itself. urgent both on the restric-
tons and the possibilities of life and new
er forgetful of those inspirations that al
ways come when the full meaning and
import of life are revealed. It's sacrifice
will be more real than that of vcarious
oblation, for it will be of self and on the
cross of obedience to truth and duty.
There will be no original sin to confuse
the mind, but enough of ones own to be
kept down and turned to moral use. Its
heaven will not be so clear and golden as
that of old, but it will take on such color
and form as overcoming may give it, and
become as real and present life itself.
The confusion of today will not be ended
by blowing it away into thin mist. nor by
explosion of criticism, but only by clear
vision now opened by real life in real

Postal Discrimination.

Congressman Bowies letter adj
dressed to Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Brstow, who has charge
of rural free mail delivery, is to the
point, and undoubtedly within the
truth. States that go republican have
been favored. and states that go demo-
cratic have been turned down and the
difference has become so marked that
both Mr.. Bowie and Mr. Maddox of
Georgia propose to demand a change.
They may not secure fair play, but they
will at any rate secure hearing on
the floor of the house. and the atten-
! ton, if not indignation, of all fair
minded men.
Favoritism of this sort is but graft
ing. Such favoritism helps the repub
lican party as a whole, while grating
fills the pockets of individual republi-
cans There is no difference in princi-
pie. In both cases the democrats are
robbed for when the republican states
are filled with rural free delivery
routes, while petitions from democratic
states are turned down, the latter are
robbed, because they must go on pay
ing taxes without getting their share
of benefits. Democratic money is taken
and expended in republican states in
order that more places may be made
for republicans.
The house, regardless of politics,
should listen to the facts brought out
by Mr.. Bowie, and laid before Mr..
Bristow. If Mr.. Bristow does not do
justice then indeed should Mr.. Bowie
take an appeal to congress. The sub
| ject Is one that cannot be aired too
much No section needs rural free
delivery more than the soitii does, and
| yet it is Utmost impossib.- to induce
!
southern petitions A few are squeezed
through, but Mr. Bowie shows that
nearsy four northern routes are estab-
| lished where one is establ'taed in the
south. To be exact, 1854 routes were
established in the last fiscal year In
the south. while 11,737 were estab-
lished in the north. Such dispropor-
ton and discrimination is unjust, arbi-
trary, sectional and grossly partisan.
Let every Alabama district pour in
petitions, thus aiding to bring about a
settlement Of this matter on a just
basis. There should be at least 100
routes established in every congress
ional district in this state. Start the
petitions, and back up your congress-
man.

CURE FOR CONSTIPATION.
A Question of Fresh Air, Food and
Rest.-Not Climate.


From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Irving Fisher, oonsumptive who was
restored to robust health discusses The
Modern Crusade Against Consumption
in the outlook for November 81 He con-
tends that consumption can be prevented
by the means now employed and If Ia
ken in time can be cured without diff
Guilty. He says also that consumption
always has been durable. and that among
the cases of cure were Napoleon, Goethe,
Won Moltke Cecil Rhodes, Emerson and
hundreds of others.
Years ago good climate was regarded as
the main agency Of cure in consumption
Now, Mr.. Fisher says, the main agencies
and mind. Patients now sleep out of
doors in New England well as in Col
orado. and there are as many cures in
Massachusetts sanitaria as in those i'll
warmer climates.
Massachusetts was the first state to
establish a sanitarium The success of
this led TO the establishment of other
santaria, and among them large state
institution at Rutland. New York has a
100000 sanitarium under way. New
Jersey has appropr ted 100000 for a SAN
and Michigan are taking part in the
modern crusade against consumption.
The cities of New York. Philadelphia,
Boston, New Haven. Scranton. Chicago.
St Paul and Montreal have Joined the
crusade and single philanthropist. Mr..
Phipps of Philadelphia, has given 81, 600, :
900 for the purpose of eradicatng the dis
ease In that city.
In the old days consumptives were re-
ht1l lH for I'D l..
new rule they are encouraged to eat
heartily of heterogeneous foods, such as
meat and eggs, and to take a great deal
of milk, The plan now is to supply the
waste Of a consuming disease by nutri-
tous food, and to meet demands OF an
abnormal appetite.
Under the old theory consumptives were
urged to take exercise to the limit of their
strength. Under the new practice they are
urged to rest the body and mind to avoid
over-evertion, to cultivate cheerfulness, TO
fight against nervous excitement and an
ger. Many consumptives Mr.. Fisher as
serts have been cured of disease to fall
victims to nervous depression, "imagin-
ing always that their lungs were at fault,
when as matter of fact 1t was simply
their nerves, or rather their minds"
Under the new practice the death rate
in England from consumption has declined
from 80 per 1000 of population to 10: in
Germany from 81 to 20; in the United
States from &c in 1890 to 10 in 1900.
Mr.. Fisher emphasizes the point that
consumptives who have been cured have
avoided worry. and he contends that to
make satisfactory progress in the cure
of consumption I'VE must take up serious
ly. and religiously even. the cultivation of
healthy mental attitudes and the conse-
quent elimination of fear anger, depres-
sion and other morbid states" In short.
Mr.. Fisher applies to consumption the
air cure the food cure, the rest cure and
the mind cure, and believes that tuber-
culosis may be eradicated altogether.

Comedy of Errors.
Farminq in Alabama.

While It is true that the present prac-
tice of farming in the south limits the
land to the summer crops, and 1t is
also true that the fertilizer applied to
the summer crop is lost to the extent
that it is not absorbed and utilized by
that single crop, the faulty system Is
capable of immediate and effective re-
form.
1t lies within the opportunity OF
every farmer to SOW his fields of cotton
and corn in winter grasses or clover;
and the seeding will cost absolutely
nothing except the price of the seed
put down to be covered by the pillow
that gives the last cultivation of the
cotton and corn crop. respectively, OF
the ,ason.
Winter g~owths of grasses, clovers
or rye on the cotton and corn fields OF
the summer will prevent washing OF
the land by winter rains, which are so
exhaustive under ordinary conditions,
and these growing winter crops in the
south will prove the next valuable sub
stitute for the protection that snow and
frost afford to the northern cultivable
fields.
When It Is taken into consideration
that the snow has but the one Property
of benefit to the northern farm while
the winter crops are to be made profit
able here in the double sense of land
preseryer and feed fo' animals. whose
drorpings return to the il the very
substance of the feed itself in improved
form of fertilization. it is not hard to
see the advantages the southern farmer
possesses in the premises.
