The Fays.

The Fays thanmaturgists, and thelr
excellent vaudeville company will be the
attraction at the East Lake Casino for
this week. Instead of three matinees this
week, as announced in yesterday morn
ings paper there will be only two--one
Wednesday afternoon and another Satur-
day afternoon, when reduced prices will
be in order.
The Fays do some clever demonstrations
of the mental sciences, including tele-
pathy, and have created something of a
sensation wherever they have appeared in
the past. They do not claim any SUPER
natural powers but some of their tricks
are enough to puzzle the most astute and
their knowledge Of the mental sciences Is
profound.
With the Fays will be strong vaude-
Vile company, including Phil Stats, well
known as an interlocutor and public en-
tertainer, the Kingstone sisters, singing
and dancing soubrettes, the Imperial ia
panese acrobats and others. The bill for
this week is said to be very strong and
the programme presented will be high
class In every particular.
The Casino has already made decided
hit with the people and the indications
are that 1t will be literally patronized
this week. The Birmingham Railway
Light and Power company runs through
cars from Birmingham to East Lake be-
fore the performance begins and back
to town when the show is finished.

A Politician Says the State Commit

Iect the Nominees in the
Convention in 1906.
HAS NOT YET ANNOUNCED

The presence of Maj William A. Hand
ley of Roanoke in Birmingham for the
past few days has caused a renewed
interest in the gubernatorial talk that
has been freely INDUCED in since the
recent meeting of the state democratic
convention. Major Handley Is enjoying
better health than for the past several
years. and since it is generally under
long career of public life in Alabama.
so full of usefulness to the state. by
term as governor.
1T is too far away until the date Of
the convention for me to say whether or
not I will be a candidate" said Major
Handley, when questioned to the ru-
NOR that he was in the race. 81 do not
believe in running long heats. There will
be plenty of time for me to make a de-
csion in the matter. But it does look as
if we are to have mighty interesting
contest for the place." he remarked.
Presidential Politics.
During the recent convention in Mont
gomery Major Handey was one of the
most conspicuous delegates. His long
service for the party in the state and his
always conservative stand makes his
counsel frequently sought. 1t will be
recalled that he presented the resolutions
eulogizing Judge Parker Of New York
for the democratic nomination for Pres
dent. From what I can learn of him,
| believe that Judge Parker would make
our party good candidate" said Major
Handley and / think with him as the
standard bearer and a good conservative
platform that really means something
that We can win in the coming contest"
While talk about probable candidates
IS most interesting, there is some gossip
going the rounds as to the mode of Sc
Getting the nominees in 1906 that is es-
3ecially interesting. 1t has been suggest
ID that the party leaders in the state will
make a desperate effort to have the COM
nittee call state convention for the
selection of the democratic standard
bearers.
Two Years Hence.
There is no doubt in my mind that
this move was inaugurated at the state
convention in Montgomery" said an OBJ
servant politician. IF you will read the
resolutions adopted by the convention,
you will find that the last paragraph in
structs that the representation in future
conventions shall be upon a population
basis for the census of 1900 instead of the
present apportionment based upon the
census of 1890. If you will be
patient and wait for the meeting Of
the committee to make preparations for
the campaign of 1906 you will find that
some of the committeeman will try to
have it appear that this resolution was
an instruction from the party in con-
vention assembled to have the future
nominations made by q convention rather
than the primary election. The primary
plan is not popular with the candidates
as 1t gives no chance for trades and COM
binations, and they also say that 1t is too
expensive. What the people would say
to this change you can pretty well i'm
agine."

RAILROAD WORLD.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad
will operate two special trains from
Montgomery to Nashville on June 10, to
accommodate Confederate veterans and
others who desire TO attend the reunion
in Nashville. The first train will leave
Montgomery at a m. and the second
at 10 p m. Extra coaches will be at
tached to both trains at Birmingham.

railroad. has returned from Meridian,
where he has been working up the excur-
sion which will be operated from Meri-
dian to Birmingham next Saturday by
his line.
According to the latest report of the
interstate commerce commission 1,1S9, 3l5
persons are employed by the railroads
of the United States, or an average of
594 employees to each 100 miles of line.
The classification of these employees
shows that 8,3lS were enginemen. 50.so1
firemen, 5000 conductors, and 81 1888 other
trainmen. There were 5o,4S9 switch ten
ders, crossing tenders and watchmen.
Disregarding 1882 employees not as
signed to the four general divis-
sions of employment, 1t appears that
the services of l,o71 employees are re-
quired for general administration, 3ss,592
for maintenance of ways and structures.
22S, $50 for maintenance of equipment and
SIS, 800 for conducting transportation.

Mr.. Cummings of the Five Points fire
department station, who has been taking
care of the small animals for the boys I'M

it absolutely necessary to build a small
house for the animals which he esti-
mates will cost about sl2 or sl5 This
must be built at once as the small ami

The boys have decided to ask Mr. Full

small affair so that the animals could
be temporarily cared for. The boys are
anxious that Mr.. Fulenwider be present

The 4 o'clock meeting at the Y. M. c.
A. yesterday afternoon was devoted to
song service. Prof A. R. Davis, who is
in charge of the singing at the revival
now In progress at the First Christian
church rendered two inspiring solos. The
male quartette also sang several selec-
lions. Secretary Jackson led the singing
from the new association hymn books. He
also led in reading of scriptural selec-

An earnest invitation was extended to
any who would, to accept Christ. Four
asked for prayer. Fully eighty men at
tended this service. The Bible classes
were met by their regular teachers, with
the exception of the one usually taught
by Assistant Secretary Bridges. f. A.
Kritz kindly consented to hear this class
as Mr.. Bridges was busy making prepar-
atoms for the Fellowship lunch. Mr.
Kritz has been asked to take this class
permanently and has consented to do so.
About fifty remained for the three Bible
classes.
Nearly the same number attended the
Fellowship lunch. Two of the members
who have recently returned from the
Worlds fair and who were In attend
anee upon the big Y. NJ. C. A. meeting
there were expected to have made talks
at the lunch but We're absent. In their
stead, several members of the association
made brief addresses. L. b. Clark was
the first speaker, and what he had to
say was greatly enjoyed Most of the
speakers who followed Mr. Clark en-
phasized the importance Of keeping the
morning watch, which is an organiza-
ton, every member of which is pledged
to read the same portion of scripture ev-
cry morning throughout the year, and
pray for himself and every other member.

the feeling Is quite cheerful. Cotton pros

weather is all that Is necessary to ensure

There is a considerable tide Of immigra-

they are likely to form a considerable
