public men who gather about the ban
quet board. Mr.. Bryan was also guest
at the recent dinner of the club, and he
awaited himself of the privilege of talk
ing as he pleased, much to the edifica-
ton and entertainment of the gather
ing.
In his short address Mr.. Bryan re-
vealed new and delightful element of
his character. He demonstrated that he,
as well as Mr.. Roosevelt, possesses the
saving grace of humor. He can be witty
and satirical and enter into the spirit
of Gridiron fun with an abandon and
freedom that is truly delightful. His
charm of eloquence adds greatly to his
after dinner efforts, and he leaves the
impression of broad mindedness and
human sympathy. The charge of fanati-
cism and charlatanism could never rest
against William Jennings Bryan were

him who are fortunate enough to meet
him In the hour of his relaxation, and
when he can enter into heart to heart
relations with his audience.
Mr. Bryan, on his recent visit to
Washington, made an extended call at
the white house, and found that he and
President Roosevelt had great many
ideas and ideals in common. His recep-
ton was generous one by the president,
and Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as de-
dent was equally well pleased, and en-
joyed intensely his conversation with
the distinguished democratic leader.

Mnnx Want fn Go.

William Lewis of Wylam, mining suburb of Birmingham, who returned recently from Panama where he work ed for several months and since his re- turn has been giving out accounts of his stay in the canal zone, Is in receipt of a number of letters from men in Alabama and adjoining States asking him questions on different subjects looking to going to Panama. MT. Lew Is Is answering all questions. He has requested through the newspapers that all making inauify as'to Panama send along a self-addressed and stamped envelope He asserts that much of his time Is going to be taken up in an swering the communications but he Is willing to answer the questions, but writers must send stamped envelopes. Indications are that many people from Alabama and Mississippi are preparing to go to Panama, many to embark in business there and others to accept work with the government. He states that the United States will have to re-
 sort to other countries than It's own for all the labor that can be used in
 the work of building the great canal.

Want County Jail Removed.

Birmingham is agitating a move to have the county jail located in another section of the city than where it is now. It is claimed that the city has grown so that the County jail is in a place which injures the sight of the city and again makes the institution a little conspicuous. The Board of Rev enue will meet tomorrow morning and a communication will be presented from the city administration asking for a consideration on the proposition of removing the institution to another part of the city. The proposition is one of the queer movements that come up In the hustle and hustle of a big city. The matter was first preached by John c. Forney, a member of the Board of Aldermen. He presented a resolu- ton in the Aldermanic Board which was adopted. suggesting that the Board of Revenue be communicated with on the subject. .-=-

Leader. Make Denial.


 Edward Flynn, President of the Ala bama district organization of the Uni ted Mine Workers of America, who Is in charge of the strike of the union coal miners at the mines of the furnace companies in this district, which strike began in July, 1904. states that he has reports as to output at the mines af- fected and that the production is far from being normal, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. He states that while a number of green hands have been brought to the district to take up the work in the mines left off by the union men. a very poor showing has been made. MT. Flynn states that reports that the normal output at the mines affected is being approached are not exactly in line with what are real conditions. He makes no intimation that the strike Is likely to be called of in the near future.
 It is learned from other sources that the strike of the coal miners in Ala bama has cost both sides nearly $2,00O,- 900 already and the end Is not in sight It Is stated that the union miners are spending nearly $40,Oo0 per month. The furnace companies in addition to bring ing green men here at a great expense have been compelled to purchase coal and coke which has been no cheap thing either. Many of the miners who went out on strike secured work with the commercial coal companies who ap pear to have prospered since the strike has been on.

among the most startling. The violin

two chronic defects, "the hiss of the
bow and the production of high over
