The Seventh District.

Congressman John L. Burnett of the
seventh district passed through Birming-
ham last night, en- route home from a
speaking tour of the western counties Of
his district.
II have been touring Winston and
Franklin counties with Capt Richmond
p. Hobson," said Mr.. Burnett, land we
have been having fine audiences wherever
we spoke. The outlook Is indeed all
that could be asked for and I do not
see where my opponent can even ex-
pect to have a look in. I understand that
he has been attempting canvass of the
district but has had very small crowds
Capt. Hobson is one OF the best cam
paigners that have even seem Mr.. Bur-
nett continued. He is forceful eloquent
conservative and fair. Both at Double
Springs and Russellville we had overflow
crowds. l left Capt Hobson making a
speech to the country folk of Franklin
this morning at Russellville. He has GER
tainly made a fine impression upon The
people of my district"
Mr.. Burnett leaves his home In Gads-
den today for Washington where he goes
on a double mission. lie will place his
children in school there and consult With
the members of the democratic congress
sional campaign committee, of which he
Is the Alabama member.

The Moving Habit.

Il notice that many houses In Birming-
ham have a for rent sign on them,"
said man from Atlanta last night. "At
first 1 didn't understand why 1t was 1t
develops that the renters of Birmingham
are great movers and whether they are
pleased or not they like a change on the
first of October Just for the novelty of
the thing. I understand that Birming-
ham people are so bad about moving that
the ward politicians have great difficulty
in locating their constituents from year
to year. During one campaign they will
be in the First ward and during the
next they will be in the Second and SO
on. l suggested to a friend today that
the ward politicians inaugurate a trans
fer system so that when a constituent
moves from one ward to the other he
can check him and turn the check over
to the member of his ring who controls
the other ward. This would simplify the
matter considerably and would save
money to the campaign managers.
Another peculiar thing about Birming-
ham," he continued, rs the day set for
the annual moving. In most cities people
move In the spring. In fact Birmingham
is the only city l know of which sets Oc-
tober 1 for the moving day. l suppose.
however, that 1t is Birmingham's busi-
ness and If you like 1t no outsider has a
right to criticise."

New York's State Ticket.

The New York democrats are sitting
at Saratoga, represented by over $50
delegates. In order to win a nominal
ton candidate must have ZIG dele-
gates, and Edward NJ. Shepard of
Brooklyn has not delegate pledged
to him, and Mr.. McCarren, the Brook
Ign leader, Is opposed to the nominal
ton of Mr.. Shepard. And yet he may
be nominated today. His opponents
are:
George Brinton Mcclellan, New York
county.
John B. stanchAeld, Chemung
county.
George M. Palmer, schoharie county,
Daniel N. Lockwood, Erie county.
william T. Gaynor, Kings county.

Delaney Nicoll, New York county
ID. Cady Herrick, Albany county.
Smith M. Weed, Clinton county.
Smith M. Weed, Clinton county.
This Is list of fine men, every ont
of whom stands we'll before his fellow
citizens in his own big state. Mr.
Goodyear of Buffalo was candidate
put he has withdrawn his name from
the race, and the list of eligibles il
probably summed up in the foregoing
list.
1t is not known whom Judge Parker
favors. He perhaps prefers an open
convention, free race to be decided
by the convention itself This would
be a return to first principles, and II
would pretty surely lead to a popular
and acceptable nomination.

the Idol No suits were ever more skill
fully concocted to rob the female OF the
species of all attraction and allurement.
They are made in two colors. blue and
red, of sort Of thick striped linen ma
light in the same color. AS to cut, they
are all made in one piece. economically
skinny. and with an abbreviated, frisky
little frill of skirt sewed on round the
waist.
There are no sleeves, and the panta-
lettes come down according to the length
of the wearer's legs-to the ankles, to
the calf, or to the knee. On very little
women they almost trail; on robust
wearers of a stalwart height they are
drawn UP as high as the famous green
satin petticoat of Lizzie Lindsay. The
last touch OF all is the hat-of yellow
straw of an enormous circumference,
tied under the chin with string, or
skewered through the hair with a pair

He Got His Egg.

THE proverbial shrewdness of the He
brew character is illustrated by little
story told me by drummer" said a
young man who is well known about
town.
zone time eggs were very high and
were retailing at about 90 cents dozen.
A Hebrew peddler brought in basket
of eggs to a saloon keeper with the Of
fer to dispose of his entire stock.
How much are they worth? asked
the man behind the counter.
Ninety cents, answered the ped
dler.
"'can't you take less? That's pretty
steep for eggs
~ must have ninety cents. or we
don't trade
"'weil, count EN- out, said the bar
keeper.
1.-THE peddler counted dozen eggs and
found that there was just one left over.
" Throw that egg in for good meas
ure,' said the barkeeper.
1.-THE man refused and the barkeeper
said he would not trade, but when he
saw the peddler putting his eggs back
into the basket said, Hold on; I'll give
you drink for that egg

A SUFFICIENT DISGUISE

From the Cincinnati Enquier
Senator Beveridge was talking about
severe rebukes.
las severe rebuke as 1 know Of" he
said, was one that New York Million
aire administered to his son last winter.
1.-THE son. like many millionaires' sons,
Is a hard drinker. He does no work.
Most of the day he louges at some one
or other of his clubs, taking a brandy
and soda every hour or so, and in. the
evening, after a good deal of wine with
his dinner, he drinks steadily until bed
time.
Nevertheless, he is young and hand
some chap. and he goes out during the
season a great deal.
zone day he received an invitation to
a bal masq,H and that evening he dis
cussed with his family the various dis
guises that he might reasonably wear.
After a good deal of talk he was still
undecided, and. turning to his father.
he said:
How would you advise me to go to
this masque, sir?'
" Go sober the father answered, Bit
terly.'

ers and topics of far-reaching impor-
lance in the upbuilding of the state will

like manner. The subjects have certain

Geraldine Bonner, In San Francisco Argo-
naut.
- ECAUSE of its sea breeze and It's
H1 sea bathing, Venice is quite a
~ summer resort for the Italians
In the interior. When they have baked
and broiled in their villas and the palaces
of small, old, medieval cities as much as
they can endure, they run across to the
Queen of the Adriatic and cool off. Life
is very leisurely and agreeable. After
dejeuner they loaf over to FTorians,
where the men take a cup.of black coffee
and smoke long thin black cigar. and
the women daily with an ice and softly
wave their little fans.
Then in the middle of the afternoon
they take a gondola and float across the
lagoon to the Lido and have q sea bath.
The bathing at the Lido is the best I
ever knew anywhere. The bathing place
is on the outside-the Adriatic side-of
the long low sand spit which shuts in
Venice from the open sea. When you
get here you are far from the Venice
of history and legend. 1t Is all modern,
quite fashionable, and up to date. If it
were not for the different types of faces
and the many strange tongues one might
almost be in some American watering
place.
The bathers turn of to the left, and
there fall into the hands Of waiting
menials. who conduct them to the scene
of transformation. You disappear down

MadIson,s Grand Jury.

1t is fortunate indeed that the lynch
ing Of Horace Naples occurred In one
of the best communities in this state
instead of some back district In such
a district and county It would have
been difficult to have summoned a
fearless and intelligent grand jury
The special grand jury called out by
Judge Paul Speake in Madison county
did It's duty without fear or favor. Ii
indicted ABOUT twenty alleged lynch
ers, and 1t fearlcssly laid the basis for
the impeachment of the stand-pat
sheriff OF the county, and of the mayor
and chief of police, who forgot that
Alabama had any laws. Looking to
the future as well s5 the present, this
splendid grand jury put personal
friendship and afflliation" behind 1t,
remembering only it's duty to the state
OF Alabama. 1t found the sheriff, the
mayor and the chief of police, each
and all, guilty of incompetence or will
full neglect of duty
Their report presented to Judge
Speake is historic document. 1t
marks the turning of the tide against
anarchy and in favor of law and or
der, and the historical student who
writes a century hence the story of
Alabama will consider this report a
document of deep and far-reaching in
terest.
The grand Jury did not discuss the
action of the solciers il the jail, know
ing that the military inquiry now in
session would attend to that branch
OF the matter. The indications now
are that every feature of the mob &C
ton in Huntsville will be fully brought
out, and that the men who permitted
1t, as well as those who participated
In 1t, will be brought to trial.
Governor Cunningham will win from
the lynching in Huntsville a national
reputation, but, better than that, he
will serve his state, restoring its fair
name, and putting an end perhaps for
ever to anarchy in its worst forms
throughout the length and breadth of
Alabama.

Alabama's advantages for cement
making will be seen and appreciated.
DR.. Smith expresses the opinion that
excellent cement rocks, shales and
clays will be found amidst the coal
fields, on the navigable Warrior. This
would be an ideal location for a ce-
ment plant, because it could there
command everything that enters into
the making of cement at the lowest
possible cost. The plant that can
place true Portland cement at tide
water at the lowest cost per barrel
is the plant that will control markets
and dictate prices.
The geological survey could not bet
ter serve the country than to complete
the Investigations of DR.. Smith in the
matter of cement materials In Ala
bama. In no other way could 1t SO
quickly add to the national resources,
and our senators and representatives
should persist in an attempt to secure
a full investigation of Alabama's ce-
ment rocks, clays and shales until
they accomplish the task There is no
reason why the unpaid work of DR..
Smith should not be rounded up by a
national investigation by the geologi-
cal survey.

A Stirring Scene.

Perhaps the most interesting scene
ever witnessed was the departure of a
great ocean liner from New York, with
myself on board" said Austin Sims yes
terday THE decks of the big steamer
were thronged with several thousand peo-
pie and there were twice that number on
the pier to bid friends and relatives God
speed.
After the bugle's warning notes had
sent everybody who was not a passenger
ashore the huge crowd stood with eyes
liked eagerly on the vessel. while It's
glances were returned with interest by
those on board. 1t was tempest of good
Dyes that were at times most affecting
especially when families were parting
perhaps forever
However, we soon drew away from tn,
pier. the crowd began to diminish rapidly
IN size and in a short while we were
passing out to the grand Atlantic bound
Tor lands across the sea. Then smelling
salts and lemons were In demand"

Joseph Jefferson.

Mr.. Jefferson is seventy-five years
old, and his illness arouses deep solicit
tude in all parts Of the country. He
has cancelled all his engagements to
act this season, and 1t is feared that
his Rip Van Wrinkle win never again
be seen on the stage.
Nothing sweeter than that American
play has been produced In the present
age. II wins all hearts. 1t appeals to
all men. Rip is what most men feel
Is natural, and more lovable crea-
ton of art is unknown to our stage.
He Is alike winning both before and
after his long nap. Poetry is happily
woven into the play, and Mr.. Jefferson
viii stand in the annals of the stage
as the one man who could bring all
the poetry out in the most artistic and
pleasing manner.
The entire country has felt the
genius of Mr.. Jefferson, and people in
every state will watch with deep in
terest the course of his illness. He
has ever taken good care of his health,
and there may be many years of com.
fort, If not activity, before him. All
love him, and all hope he will be re
stored speedily to his accustomed
health

Referee SCOTS Dream.

The optimistic Mr.. Scott, who Is a
referee or pie distributor Of this state,
expresses the opinion that Mr.. Powell
Of Cullman will GUST John L. Burnett
from congress, and I that Captain
Walker will perform like service for
]. Thomas Heflin. Mr.. Scott did not
have the hardihood to state that Post
master Armstrong of Blount Springs
would drive out of politics Oscar W.
Underwood, but perhaps his eagle eye
overlooked the Ninth district.
1t is plain that Referee Scott knows
more about pie than he does about
the voters OF Alabama. The voters of
Alabama are a selected lot. They are
the backbone of the state, and the
riff-raff has been sifted out. Neither
of the districts can be carried against
the democratic nominees, although in
the Seventh the populists and republi-
cans have formed a combination. Mr..
Burnett is, however, in the field, and
1t is not at all probable that the new
combine can defeat him. He knows
nearly every man in his district, and
he will give his opponents all tho
work they will feel like doing
Mr.. fUnderwood's popularity is SO
great that no one anticipates any
trouble in the Ninth district, and Mr..
Hefin can be trusted to take care of
democratic interests in the Fifth dis
trict. In the end, after all the buster
of the referees has been exhausted. 1t
will be seen that Alabama will be rep
resented in the next house, as 1t is in
the present congress, by nine good
democrats.

A Good Omen.

From the Virglnian-Pilot
The practical turning over of the man
agement of the democratic campaign to
Senator German is the best omen of
the campaign SO far. since the st. Louis
convention.
How in the world Taggart ever came to
be chosen in the first place passes under
standing. One thinks Of him always as
clad in plaid trousers.
But Hon. Arthur Pue Gorman--here is
very different proposition. Mr.. German
has brains and he knows the larger phase
of politics. He Is, moreover, In touch
with that element to which large conces-
sions have been made by the party.
AS for Mr.. Taggart he will probably do
very well In Indiana. He seems to have
done very well there heretofore, In sever
al ways. II he can look after the terri
tory between the Ohio and the lakes. Mr..
German can probably take care of the
east without undue effort.
And now, let us have some ginger in the
campaign. There has been enough of ma
mana.
