Spring HI, College.

Spring Hill, near Mobile, Is the seat of one of the oldest institutions of learning in the United States Spring Hill College conducted by the Jesuits and the schol- astic year just closed was one of the most prosperous in it's history. The college was founded in 1880 and received a char ter from the legislature of Alabama in 1886. In 1s40 it was empowered by Pope Gregory XVI to grant degrees in philoso- phy and theology.
 The annual catalogue for 1905-1904 is full of interesting information and is bound in elegant style. The classical course at Spring Hill is exceptionally high. It embraces period of seven years including the preparatory school and the exercises of the last year are entirely in Latin. No one can take master of arts until he has acquired broad knowledge of Greek as we'll as Latin, to say noth- ing of mathematics, history and meta physics. German, French and Spanish are also taught but these are optional with the student.
 The commercial course is very practical and comprehensive but it does not in- clude the dead languages.

NED BRACE WRITES OF DRAMATIC SCENES
 AT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION YESTERDAY

accordingly if the action of the conven- ton today shall be ratified by the neo- pie. As the platform is silent upon inc subject my views should be made known 10 the convention and if it is proved to be unsatisfactory to the majority. reouaet you to decline the nominaton for me at once, so that another may be nonninatad before adjournment.
 ALTON B. PARKER"
 Everyone was in panic as to what to do John sharp Williams, TilIman and othters consulted and prepared the fol- lowing telegram in reply for reference to the conventions:
 .'The platform adopted by the conven- tion is silent on the question of money standard. because 1t is not regarded by us as possible issue in the campaign, and only campaign issues were mentioned in the platform. Therefore there is nothing in the views expressed by you in the telegram just received which would pre- clude man entertaining them from ac- cepting nomipation on said platform"
 This precipltated vicious debate, the details of which appear in another col umn.
 Finally the convention by an over whelming majority, voted to send the tell egram to Judge Parker, and that ended the matter, but it was after four hours Of acrimonious debate
 Almost every delegate feels that the sit- uation was unfortunate and that the party goes before the people embarrassed by the acts of its leaders. Many believe that there was no necessity for the Park CT telegram, and openly condemn ex-Sen-

cood-byes at the Depot.

'T was impressed with the just wrath of certain travellers at the union passen- ger station yesterday" said a commercial traveller at the Morris last night. Quite a number of people were at the station, and among them young lady evidently going off for the summer. When the train arrived she was one of the first to start through the narrow gateway. After se- curely blocking the passage, she turned to take leave of her friends. Other passen- gers were detained, but she appeared obli- vious of their presence She talked for perhaps a minutes before giving the fare well kiss and making way for many im- patienent people detained during her fare well.
 "A minute is not usually thought of as a long period of time, but under those conditions it seemed to pass very slowly and some of the passengers, not possess ing tempers of Jobe-like meekness, be- came very much irritated.
 .sFrequently I have seen much incon- venience caused by thoughtless people greeting friends or saying goodbyes In crowded public places, and 1 cannot un- derstand why these social formalities are not cut short Affection is always an es- timable quality, and I do not seek to dis parage it, but I think it should be con- fined to private circles in its more pro- nounced form"

BOWIE OPTIMISTIC.

From the Washington Post.
 Congressman are such rarities at the capital at this particular period that Rep resentative Bowie of Alabama. one of the best liked of the younger opponents of the southern democracy, was the recipient of an unusually warm greeting when he appeared In the lobby of the Riggs house yesterday.
 T couldn't get to St. Louis," said MT. Bowie but what they are doing out there meets my hearty approval. The nomination of Parker is foregone con clusion, and is the wisest thing the con- vention could do, for I veriiy believe that the voters are going to send him to the White House. His character is above re- proach and his record as a loyal supporter of Bryan will draw to him the vast army of unterrified democrats.' who believe in party fealty.
 "Furthermore, in my opinion, this Is going to be democratic year, and I pre- dict the election of a congress that will be under democratic domination The republicans have no great advantage now in the house, and they are almost certain of losing seats in several states like West Virginia and Wisconsin, where they are badly split by factional strife"
