REPORTS COMING IN

General Woodford, Who Has Spent the
 Summer In Europe, Says New York Is Republican.

Washington, October 12.-(Spccial)- Representative Talbott of Maryland was a caller today at the democratic con gressional headquarters today and told the committee that Maryland would give Parker an old-time democrtic majority, and MT. Talbott wanted few speakers sent to his district the latter part of the month, but the congressional committee has aband med it's speakers bureau ow- ing to conflict with the national commit tee, which now has entire charge of the party's campaign orators.
 The President heard some good news from republican states today. Senator Penrose fixes the republican majority in Pennsylvania at 3O0,0O0 and former Sena- tor Mashburn is counting upon 75O0 in Minnesota.
 General Stewart L. Woodford told the President ''it was in the air" that he would carry New York. General Wood- ford confesses that he had been In Eu- rope all summer and had not kept close track of the political situation.

Inside Facts About ApoIIinarIs.

In France, England, Germany and the United States, mineral spring waters play an important part in the daily economy; in each of these countries the sale of Apollinaris Is larger than 1t ever was before, and according to the London Lancet thirty millions of bottles Of this water are consumed each year. The Lan- cet, which Is recognized everywhere as the highest authority on matters pertain ing to health, recently sent one or us spe- cial commissioners to the Apollinarls spring. which is at Neuenahr, Germany, in order to place before the medical pro fession an authoritative description Of the bottling of this water.
 The report of this commissioner, pup lished in the Lancet of January %'lW4' shows that he was given access 10 every nook and corner of the vast establish ment in which the Apollinaris spring is situated, and that he saw from beginning to end the process by which the water is bottled there ready for delivery to all parts of the world. This report Is full Of interesting scientific details describing the methods of bottling, and shows that the purity and healthfulness of the Apolli- naris water as 1t comes from the spring is preserved; it says that the chemical analyses which he made are in accord with those given at various times by the late Professor Virchow. Professor Lie- breich, the late Sir Edward Frankland and other authorities, and that the water wherever 1t is bought is identical with the water taken direct from the spring, as Apollinaris Is bottled only at the spring and only with its own natural gas. The supply of both water and gas from the spring is considerably in excess of the present enormous demands.

WELL KNOWN YOUNG
 MAN KILLS HIMSELF
J. p. RUDDER TAKES A DOSE OF CARBoLlC ACID AT MERIDIAN. POLICE OFFICERS WILL GET A GOOD REWARD.

Meridian, Miss. October R.-(Special.)- )- J. P. Rudder, young man of prominent family, 4 years of age, died last night from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid, which. according to the verdict of the coroner's jury, was administered by his own hand and with suicidal intent. The evidence given at the coroner ln- quest showed that Rudder had obtained an order from a friend to get some med tcine at a drug store In West End, re- marking to this friend at the time that he was about to pass In his checks He then went to the drug store and got the medicine and went away afterwards returning and going behind the prescrip- tion counter and remaining few mo- ments. About o'clock the young man was found few blocks away crouched beneath a tree in the throes of death and lived only few minutes. Rudder was once traveling man, but was not employed in any business at the time of his death. He leaves three sisters, one here and two at Laurel. His remains were taken to Shubuta this afternoon for interment.
 Chief of Police J. H. Bludworth and Detective w. H. Lyons of Meridian will receive reward of $500 for the capture of a negro murderer named Harper at Springfield, Mo- last night. and his deliv- cry at East St. Louis this morning. On | July IA last, Harper, who formerly lived in Meridian, killed a saloon-keeper In East St. Louis. The Meridian police were notified and have been on his trail ever since. They located Harper in Spring
 field a few days ago, and Detective Lyons ] left for that point Saturday, arresting l Harper yesterday and landing him in l East St. Louis today.

At the Jefferson.

Richard Carle Is proclaimed the star of "The Tenderfoot," and there is no ques- ton of his title. He Is easily one of the oleverest comedians who visits Biiming- ham. Last year he was most entertaining as funny in 'The Tenderfoot" It would be hard to find two musical comedies more widely divergent in character than ''The Storks' and "The Tenderfoot." One is a bit of fairy land, with magic spells. transformations and evil spirits, while the other is a musical story of the west with Its Indians, soldiers, cowboys and pretty girls of the plains. Perhaps ''The Tenderfoot" is more effectively staged than "The Storlks," and certainly the cos tunes are more striking. There Is a be- wildering array of color and the presence of an unusually large chorus helped to dazzle the eyes.
 Of course there Is not much bottom to "The Tenderfoot," but no one expected it. The plot did not trouble the audience. apparently, and could be left out without ever being missed. The performance con- sisted principally of the amusing observa- tions of MT Carle. He is a droll comedian who somewhat resembles Richard Golden in his role as the New Hampshire pro- lessor, but his fun Is more sprightly and more abundant than that of MT Golden. He keeps up a constant fire of witticisms and manages to look about as absurd as mortals ever get to be. With the assist ance Of his mule, Rupert, and his gro- tesque dancing-Mr. Carle danced. not the mule-the comedian kept the fun going. and never so forgot himself as to descend to vulgarity. Then, too, 1t must be re- membered that MT. Carle wrote "The Tenderfoot." and everything he said was original, not the wit of some other man
 As regards the music, some of 1t was good and some otherwise. The chorus girls were capable of singing very well If they had been given more opportuni- ties to do so. whl4e a strong male chorus gave volume to the songs. Frances Knight took the part of prima donna, as Marion Worthington, an heiress She was petite, graceful and vivacious, but most of the time her voice lacked strength. None of the other members of the com pany displayed conspicuous ability as solo singers. with the exception of VII liam Russell, who played the part of Reckless Reddy, cowboy. He has a voice of great power and was heard to advantage in all his songs.
 The comedy element predominated. There was some good ~ancing, the chorus was attractive well gowned and well drilled, and the scenic effects all that could be desired. ,. ..4am Rock made a capital Chinaman, and due credit must be given Rupert, the donkey. He sus- tained his role with dignity, and while he did not sing he certainly looked the part.

J. F. GRAHAM
Is Candidate for Alderman From the
 Seventk Ward.


 The announcement of J. F. Graham as a candidate for alderman from the Sev- enth ward appears in The Age-Herald
 MT. Graham has long experience In mu- nicipal matters, having served this city as alderman for about four years. His record was one of unusual activity and public spirit, and he fully demonstrated adaptabllity to the work of building up Birmingham as a great city, each year laying a sure foundation for the future, as well as caring for the present.
 As chairman of the street committee he directed many improvements in the street and sidewalk department, and that work remains today as an evidence of his good service.
 MT. Graham Is taxpayer himself, therefore being largely concerned person. ally for the welfare of the city. He is in close touch with the people of his im- mediate ward, as well as with those of the city at large, and his fellow-citizens feel sure that MT. Graham, If elected, will serve them ably and acceptably. The Seventh ward Is one of the most impor- tant and rapidly growing parts of the city and the citizens and property-holders there are to be congratulated upon having such representative men as MT. Graham offer to serve them as aldermen.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 LEE CELEBRATED
CAMP HARDEE AND PELHAM CHAPTER HONOR THE GREAT cHIEFTAIN'5 MEMoRY-cAPT.
 WARD AND MIR. FoRNEY SPEAK.

The anniversary of the death of Gen. Robert E. Lee was observed yes terday by the members of Camp liar dee, U. c. ", and Pelham chapter, U. D. O., in the hall of the former in the Tomlinson building.
 General Lee died on October 12, 1870, yesterday being therefore the thirty-fourth anniversary. The exer- cises were public and the hall was thronged with people.
 Capt ". C. Ward delivered an ad- dress on the life of General Lee, tell ing many interesting stories of the great leader and concluding by pay ing the great chieftain splendid trib- ute. He said that he believed that no greater good could be done for the young people of the south than to place in the hands of each a history of Lee, in order that Lees character might be studied. The example, he said, which General Lees life set should be enough to lead any young man to high life.
 John C. Forney also spoke. His remarks were full of interest and were delivered with eloquence. He spoke of the lives of several of the Confederate leaders, and his talk was warmly received by the aud fence.
 There were about a score of ladies pres ent, representing the Daughters of the Confederacy. The hall was tastefully dec- orated with the Confederate colors. A number of good pictures have been do- mated to the camp by friends. The hall is again being fitted up as attractively as before the fire which destroyed many of the books and pictures of the camp.

"In Old Kentucky"

''In Old Kentucky has weathered the storms of twelve seasons and comes to the Jefferson theatre for one performance tonight with none of it's former qualities effaced by Father Time. The play con tinues to draw well and Is one of the most popular melodramas of the old school that is now before the public. Ex- citing incident abounds and the atmos- phere of old Kentucky is refreshing. Scenes familiar to all who have ever seen the Bluegrass state are faithfully repro duced. A feature of this production will be the pickaninny band and the great horse race. Sentiment, valorous deeds and romance will be much in evidence, but the best part of the whole show Is that low prices will prevail

PLACED ON PROBATION.
Judge Feagln Deals With Old Offender.
 PltifuI Story.

Jud Moore, 8 white man who has been an offender in the police courts before, was yesterday fined $5 by Judge Feagin for being drunk, and during the trial a very pitiful story came to light
 A neighbor of Moore stated that his wife was i'll at home and needed money and medicines and that she had been re- quested to come to court and see what could be done to get Moore home She told of Mrs. Moore's needs and her condi- tion, and Judge Feagin, after listening to her story, made Moore give her all the money he had to carry to his wife.
 Moore had s2.50 and he was trying to persuade Judge Feagin to let him off for that, but his honor refused until the neighbor could tell her story. He then made Moore put his s25O on the table and handed 1t over to the neighbor. He also released Moore and placed him on the probation list, promising to deal with him severely the next time he appeared in court,

Both of his legs and one hand were cut off The engine was standing in the yard, and the fireman was keeping it hot for the engineer.

 The fireman, not lowing the negro was there, backed the engine on the main track at the time stated above, and ran over the negro.
 Dr. Giovann, the railroad physician, was summoned immediately and the ne- gro was brought to Montevallo, where he was made as comfortable as possible and everything was done to save his life, though it was thought from the first that death was inevitable. He died at o'clock this afternoon

JUDGE THOMAS G. JONES.
Birmingham Laty Writes Letter Of
 High Praise.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The south Is proud of Judge T. G. Jones' A man who stands fearlessly for duty, justice and mercy. A nan who rec og4kes the great Law Ma&er as the osay guide for law, and when delegating tAe power of governing to men, implant- ed the instinct of right and wrong, with the quality of mercy, in the heart did not, leave man in ignorant dependence. but promised His support, His strength in the administration of justice.
 Man In his mad rush for self-aggran- dizement, tramples under foot too often the sacred laws of God. The tremendous responsibility of office, Its power for good or evil, should cause man to pause, to ponder-all life is holy.
 Judge Jones' high conception of duty, his bravery, his fearlessness in asserting his convictions, lift him alone to the peak of Mt. Sinai for guidance. We hon or, we applaud his noble spirit to teach the right way to uphold the majesty of law as from God.
 If Alabama had more of his kind, what pure, honest government would be hers All true and thoughtful people coincide with the deep thought evidenced in his master charge to the grand jury. Every word rings out the noble man who enno- bles high office This charge should be proclaimed abroad in every state, every home, to awaken men to conviction of duty, that office must be filled by men whom the spells of office cannot buy.
 The country must have tall sun-crown- ed men whose souls are so well-lighted that the sin of wrong-doing could never enter. From the memory of fathers 8 and brothers administration for this judge, I wait my wishes that the jury will have many more charges from this silver-tongued orator and good man.

At the sIIou.

That Billy Clifford is popular at the Bijou is proved by the crowds he Is draw ing this week. He Is one of the clev- crest comedians who has visited Birming- ham this year and at the head of a big company he would easily rank among the leading musical comedy stars. In ad- dition to his ability as a comedian Mr Clifford also s!nge well and is one of the most graceful dancers on the state today. He wears swagger clothes and as the Broadway Chappie" has made a hit wherever he has appeared. Numerous specialties are introduced during the &C., tion of How He Won Her." and MT.
