East Lake Casino.

One of the largest crowds of the season went out to East Lake last night and the performance given in the Casino by the Haynes and Redmond company was well attended. This company has created very favorable impression here. and will no doubt prove a favorite attraction be- fore the week is ended. The entertain ment furnished is of a light. frothy kind thet is well adapted to a summer theater. While the play produced has very little plot. there are many funny situations The specialties for this week are also clever.
 There will be matinee this afternoon and the usual performance tonight. The roller-coaster is running every day now and is doing an enormous business. There Is plenty of time after the play is over to enjoy a ride or dance in the pavilion where music is furnished every evening by Calman's orchestra.

CAMP NOTES.

Major Tebbetts inspector of rifle prac- tice. on the staff of General Clark has been very active in getting the target range in condition, and he about com pleted his labors yesterday afternoon. .Brigadier General Clark has presented a handsome loving-cup several inches high, as a trophy Tor the regimental shoot.
 Teams from the various regiments were instructed to practice each day this week. and Saturday the final contest will be heid' after which the trophy will be de- livered. It is of solid silver lined with gold, and Is one of the largest and hand- somest cups ever presented in Alabama as a trophy.
 The sun yesterday effectually dried the camp. and the soldiers are now much better satisfied with the camp site. The water was quickly drained off, and the camps Of the various organizations were in excellent condition.
 If\ the weather god will only keep the rain away for the remainder of the week 1t will materially aid the officers of the A. N G. in making this notable en- campment. The various camps have been d1tched about. and should 1t rain again. the water will run off, and not puddle.
 One of the prettiest views about the en- campment Is the site of the First regi- ment, infantry. under the command of colonel DuMont. This camp is one pret- ty little slope, and 1t is so arranged that IL makes most picturesque showing.
 The tents of the United States regu- lars, which are pitched about 100 yards to the left of the street car tracks, are also quite interesting. and many people visited them yesterday.

NORTHERN SECURITIES DECl-
SION.

DUN.
1t was Attorney General Griggs who
arrived at the conclusion that the Sher-
man Anti Trust law was Of little use, and
as result be made scant effort to curb
the trusts during bis incumbency Of office,
President Mckinley was not disposed to
insist on making important test cases,
but be must be given credit for selecting
as Mr., Grgg's successor, Philander G.
Knox, who held different opinion of
tile Sherman act. When Mr.. Knox In
formed President Roosevelt that be be-
lieved the merger of the Northern Sc
curites company could be anuulled
through this law. the Chief Executive
gave him the word to 20 ahead. There
Is all the difference in the world between
an active and determined prosecutor
and thoroughgoing executive on the
one hand and a "let well enough alone"
policy on the other.
The decision of the United States Su.
preme court in the famous merger case
must be accounted a great victory for
the present administration and for Presi.
dent Roosevelt and Attorney General
Kncx in particular, Measured by party
and official presidents, it required extra
ordinary courage to undertake the case,
not alone because of the political inter-
ests involved, but also because Of the ex-
traordinary resources that would be
drawn upon to defeat the action. The
capitalists personally involved had I'M
limited money, Men representing trusts
in general gave them sympathetic sup
port, ltmay be said that practically the
full weight of all the influence that or.
ganized capital could command was
thrown against this procedure, not so
much because Of Its immediate effects as
because Of the precedent 1t would estab.
lish. The affirmation Of the highest
court OF the land fixes the Sherman law
asa powerful instrument to which the
people may resort to protect themselves
against unauthorized monopoly. The
people themselves will still have q right
to recognize and give power to monop-
olist concern, II they choose, but they
