Names viii BE Submitted to
City Committee for
Approval.

A. w. Jefferis, chairman Of the Second
district congressional republican committee,
was agreed upon for chairman of the new
city republican committee by the candi-
dates at a meeting lasting most Of the
morning at the Fontanelle club. Mr.. JEFF
ferris was consulted before the decision was
made final and assented to the proposal
He was chosen as representing a middle
ground between the two factional extremes
OF the party.
Robert Cowell. James II. Adams and Nell
son c. Pratt all declined TO serve as chair
man. giving pressing personal business as
their reasons. The two former were allied
with the old machine and the last named
with the one now existing.
Besides agreeing upon chairman Mr.
Benson and the other candidates picked an
advisory committee Of six members from
the various factions to cooperate with the
chairman and executive committee in man
aging the campaign These names, as fol-
lows. will be presented to the committee
for approval: Robert Cowell, W. A.
Saunders Tom Hollister, N p. Dodge tr. (;
A. II. Burnett and Jim Allan. Cowell man,
aged the Moores campaign against Benson
in 1903; w. A. Saunders was manager OF
the Fontanelle primary lineup; Tom Hol-
lister was an enthusiastic Hennings
worker, N. p. Dodge, jr., has been identi-
fed with the Fontanelle club, A. II. Bur-
nett is a leader in that organization and
Jim Allan managed the Broatch campaign.
Committee Not Yet Called.
Chairman Cowell, owing to the nondeliv-
cry OF certificates Of election to the COM
mitteemen, was unable 10 call a meeting
OF the new committee Monday night. 1t
viii be held as soon as arrangements can
be made, possibly Tuesday night The
Equal Rights and Broatch people are claim
ing control of the organization, but say
they are disposed to be concilatory If GER
tain Of their number are allowed a hand
in the campaign work and management.
The Fontanelles also claim control of the
committee. The Fontanelles are anxious
to molify the opposing faction all they can
and are willing TO go to extreme lengths
to prevent a definite and marked split.
Jefferls is presumed to be fairly acceptable
to the old machine and ex-Broatch forces.
He managed the successful Kennedy cam
paign He was a Broatch supporter IN the
recent primary contest
Monday morning A. H. Hennings and Mr..
Benson had friendly chat at Fourteenth
and Farnam streets and discussed issues
in the present campaign. Charlie Young
ers, who was one of the most avid Broatch
men, is now loud in his support Of Benson.

heard the call to battle. Bloody wars there have been and questions of far reaching import have been settled by the sword. But in this piping time of peace the United States as nation is more compact and more potential. in the worlds affairs than any other country on the globe. Pessimists there be who see imperialism staring us in the face. Some atrabilious folk see wreck and ruin just in front of us The constitution has been trampled upon, they say, and a nation with a chip on it's shoulder has supplanted the federation bequeathed to us by the revolutionary statesmen. But the vast majority of the American people have reason to feel proud, and they do feel proud, of the republic as 1t stands today. As a nation we are not without defects, to be sure, but never theless, the United States government is taken as the model for other coun- tries throwing off the shackles of tyr amy and breaking with monarchlal systems.
 The sores left by the civil war of 1S61-65 have been entirely healed and every true American from Maine to Texas will celebrate with fervor this glorious anniversary of our independ- ence. And 1t is a matter for special rejoicing that no nation of the old world Is more closely drawn to us now than Great Britain, from which we separated 130 years ago. The de- scendants of the colonists have an af- fectionate regard for the mother coun- try, and the two nations, 1t is hoped and believed. will forever remain friends and live in the bonds of peace.

 AS You Like 1t.
Alabama Press.

Even the most casual reader or newspapers would notice the marked improvement which has recently taken place in the newspapers of Alabama. Not only have the dailies held their own and in several cases extended their sphere of influence considerably but the weeklies and bi-weeklies have also f1ourished. The best weekly papers in Alabama compare creditably with those published anywhere and are growing better all the time, while the dailies are conspicuous throughout the country.
 Among contemporaries of The Age Herald in this state which have made rapid strides may be mentioned the Headland Post. recently enlarged and much improved; the Hartselle Inquirer, the Gadsden Times-News, which has been changed from Dl-Weehiy to !" live daily paper; the Decatur Adver- tiser, the Florence Herald and the Florence Times, the Sheffield Reaper, the Tuscumbia North Alabamian and a number of others.
 The press af Alabama is character ized Inv decided views on state and national politics and is outspoken for the cause of education. At present a spirit of optimism prevails in all parts of the commonwealth and note of cheerfulness issues from many sane tums, due, no doubt, to the general prosperity now prevailing.

ACTORS AS PLAYWRIGHTs.
Example of Fact That Stage Training
 Helps Dramatists.

'The Players Everybody's Magazine for
 July.
 There is a general impression that &C., tors, at least modern actors. do not write good plays, although William Gillette is a striking exception. It is true that ac- tor-playwrights are somewhat prone to sacrifice everything else to highly the atric effects, and that their plays are likely to be superficial. Cousin Louisa," by Frederick Paulding, makes no pre- tensions except to be amusing, and that it certainly is. Cleverly and good-natured- ly 1t satirizes the common tendency to sacrifice almost everything for money; it has real characters and d succession of incidents of the kind that player-follS call ''business' that are original and joyous ly humorous. Not in long time have I more thoroughly enjoyed scene than that in which Cousin Louisa and her first husband make love to each other. Be- cause they were tired of being poor they had separated, each agreeing to make a rich marriage. The padr become recon ciled and then immediately quarrel in the most human way.

MODERATION IN EXERCISE.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 It is better to be lazy than dead, and it is probably just as comfortable. For obvious reasons the prescription to take moderate exercise Is misleading and unsatisfactory. Most of us are eonstitu- tionally incapable of exercising moder- ately. We begin violently and end quick ly And what Is moderate exercise?" One philosopher who tried 1t for twenty years arrived at this conclusion: Keep a pair of Indian clubs in your bedroom. Look at them frequently. Exercise by their suggestion This may be a Christian Science method, but 1t has the merit of moderation It is the same as to walking. Smell the morning. look down the long way that separates you from your busi- ness. Then take car.

Wnrk of COnuress.

In many respects the session of Con- gross just closed was one of the most remarkable ever held. The country was treated to the spectacle Of the Chief Executive and Senators passing the lie, situation not unique, how ever. We beheld Senator Tillman weeping for a woman who was alleged to have been brutally dragged from the White House. Hot words, recrim- nation and heated debate made the session lively, and as a climax one Senator drew his pocketknife on an other, with the evident purpose Of do- ing some hurried surgical work. There were many other startling features contributing to the excitement from the time that President Roosevelt be- gan to buck his rate bill through until Congress adjourned Saturday night
 Aside from these spectacular incl dents which have made the Fifty-ninth Congress notable, it can not be denied that for strenuous labor and far-reach- ing results, both Senators and Repre- sentatives did themselves proud. There was a disposition to do something and 1t bore fruit.
 Of course, the rate bill takes prece- dence over all others. although the meat inspection bill. the immigration bill, the pure food bill and host Of minor measures, not to mention an ap- propriation for the Jamestown exposi- tion and the adoption of the lock canal for Panama, engaged attention. No more striking evidence of the energy of this Congress can be pointed out than the rate bill and the pure food bill. which have been blocked by cor poration interests for years, but have finally been passed in the face of the strongest opposition the forces of capi- tai could muster.

SWEET SONG OF BURGOO.

From the Washington POSI-
 Who, excepting Kentuckians and their favored Southern friends and kinsmen, has ever really known the bliss of genu- inc burgoo? It Is a dish for the Olymp- ian revelers. for Homeric banquets, for Nero and Lucullus. for the trenchermen of feudai days and royal roysterings. Compared with it the haggis of Scotland, the goulash of Hungary. the ragouts and paysannes of France. the possum and vans of North Carolina and the gombo file of Louisiana are mere trivial side dishes--toothsome, no doubt, but fighty ephemeral and far too filling In the best sense of the term.
 To make 200 gallons of burgoo in sin gle kettle you put 200 pounds of choice neighborhood beef three dozen yellow legged chickens. five quarts of tomatoes, the same quantity of cut corn four .ush- els of Irish potatoes and barrel of soft silver-skinned Spanish onions. This ce- lestial mixture is simmered for ten hours over wood fire. Every 20 minutes the fat, etc, is skinned from the top by q watchful colored person who knows his business. after which the brew is gently stirred with a large hickory ladle.
 Finally, the seasoning is added. with a gallon or two of the most delectabe s.stock." and then you have only to let 1t cool and the banqueters will do the rest: At the top a broth has risen, which you take in a pint cup of tin It is cocktail beside which the Manhattan and the Mar tini are as tasteless gruel Then you know the meaning of your "Old Ken lucky Home" and the voice of the trou- badour comes to you like a voice from the seraphirn.

Clean City. :.

The time was when Birmingham was a very dirty city. Today 1t Is cleaner than most busy cities. A year ago. when yellow fever broke out in New Orleans, the Mayor of Birmingham inaugurated a great cleaning up move ment Not only did the street depart ment push It's work with unusual en- ergy, but householders in general CO., operated by cleaning their yards. As result of the Mayors activity in the matter Birmingham last summer pre- sented an uncommonly fine appear ance
 While no epidemic threatens Bir- mingham now, and while the streets and alleys as rule look clean and sanitary, the work of keeping the city in order should not be relaxed. "Clean up" should be the city's slogan. There are certain things that will give any town a good name-pure water, well paved streets and well sprinkled and well swept streets.
 Citizens in general should not wait for fever scare to constran them to chop down the weeds and remove the rubbish from their premises. Every back yard should be kept clean. The humblest cottage should be as tidy and sanitary as the most pretentious man. sion. Let all work for the general veal and take a pride in living in a city at once clean and beautiful.

lndependenCe Day.

When the signers of the Declaration of Independence 130 years ago at tached their names to the instrument that marked the freedom of the Amer ican colonies they little dreamed per haps of the power, wealth and in- fluence which this country would at tain in the after years. Some of the patriots of 1776 had prophetic vision no doubt, but no seer of that time could have looked ahead to this day and visualized the great things that characterize the United States. The signers were epoch-makers and be- tween their day and ours other epoch makers were to play a part in the evo- lution and development of a mighty republic.

Capitol Park Fountain.

''l am thoroughly in favor of economy zen. but the saving that Is made at the expense of any of the few attempts to- ward the city beautiful that have been un- dertaken in the past. cannot be regarded as other than a step backward in prog ress. When the expense that is curtailed is comparatively insignificant it becomes the duty of good citizens to exercise the prerogative of taxpayers and protest against the spirit of the too practical in city affairs.
 T refer to the fountain in Capitol park which has not been allowed to spout for several months on account of the ex- pcnse, I am told by the custodian of the park This amounts to little over $S per month, if I have not been misin- formed. Time was when a goodly stream of Five Mile creew water was allowed to shoot up from its summit and run down and we'll over the succession of crimped- tipped bowls below into the basin where the goldfish sported and the sparrows bathed and spattered. I venture the opin- ion that 1t was well worth while, in the enjoyment that 1t gave to visitors in the city's most pretentious breathing place.
 There is a fascination about running water that is hard to explain. Its very freshness and purity forms a contrast to the smoke and dust and grime that are always associated with a great manufac- turing city. and in such cities, more than in others, it is necessary to keep foun- tains and statues and other beautiful things to preserve a proper balance be- tween the utilltarian and the aesthetic. Visitors to Southern Europe speak often est of the witchery of the blue water and the blue sky, and they place the charm of these two on a par as the greatest attractions of the lands of poetry and music Someone in a poetic mood, said in effect, that one of the mutest yet one of the most eloquent testimonials to the greatness of ancient Rome are the miles on miles of silent arches that struggle on across the Campagnia,-onee supports for great aqueducts leading the snow waters from the cool hills into the Imperial City. And just as desert is made to stand for all that Is repulsive in nature, so are springs and fountains and running streams made prerequisite to Already or Isles of the Blest.
 By all means. let us find the $1OO necessary to keep the fountain running in Capitol park"

TATISTICS on June weddings are @N already out, showing that there V was rush of such affairs and a multitude of blushing brides. Birmingham broke her best records and so did chI- cago, which lays claim to 31oO June we'd dings this year. Of course this town did not have as many as Chicago but we modestly venture to hope that most of the Birmingham weddings will take. Poets, good, bad and indifferent, have attempted to explain the popularity of June weddings, which may be said to result from a combination of influences hard to resist. Youths and maidens see the roses blooming all about them, they hear the birds singing love songs, the sky Is fair and blue in the day and at night silver moon bathes the world in silver radiance. There is perfume an intoxication in the air. It creeps upon the unsuspecting youth unawares. until he is swept off his feet and cries, T love youF' An. you say, all the June we'd dings are not planned in June. That is true but June is always coming until she is here and Cupid is her courier. You may breathe the incense of June even in chill December.

WON A PALACE.
As Bet on Poker Game, Then Gets a
 Bride.

From the New York Herald
 After they had sailed on the steamship Teutonic yesterday for a honeymoon trip in Europe announcement was made of the marriage on Monday night of John E. Beale. a wealthy retired broker of Santa Barbara, Cal, and Mrs. Lillian Brown of the same city MT Beale Is 67 years old, tall of build and active as man half his age. His bride is only 8, and their union involves a romantic story, the point of which is that. in spite of the adage a man cah be lucky In love as well as at cards. Rev. Henry M. Warren, hotel chaplain, is an important figure In the story, and for more than the fact that he performed the ceremony.
 When the clergyman was making a tour of the west last summer he spent a part of his time in Santa Barabara the most fashionable resort on the Pacific coast He was a patron of the Hotel Potter and one day, while making an automobile tour, he observed a princely residence just across the valley. It was a eastellated villa of gray stone, perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, approached by a great arch, and surrounded by Italian gardens, artificial lakes and all the eab- crate landscape effects that only great wealth can enjoy. Curious as to the own ership of such a superb home pr. War ren made inquiries:
 Why, that is Beale'S place." was the answer. He won it in a poker game"
 There was no difficulty in learning the further details. The house and grounds had been planned by a Californian of enormous wealth, who had given 1t to his son, but the son was a spendthrft and gambler. One night he was playing poker with a party of which John E. Beale was member. It was one of the biggest games ever played on the coast which is historic for such combats of nerve and luck. The prodigal son had been losing heavily, and finally found himself without ready resources at the very moment he thought he could recoup his fortunes Mir Beale was his opponent and they had been raising and reralsng each other. Finally the young man said:
 I've got no more ready cash, but on this hand I'll stake my residence across the valley against a check for S50,O coo
 MT Beale agreed, the hand was played and he won.
 After hearing this story pr. Warren sought out the lucky player and they formed an acquaintance. He also met Mrs Brown, but on his return to the east he dismissed the entire matter from his mind. It was not recalled to him until Monday night, when MT. Beale and his affianced wife rang the doorbell of his residence at No. 4S West Ninetyfourth street. and asked him to marry them. The hotel chaplain asked why he had been chosen. Then the story of the poker game and of their meeting in the west was rehearsed and the clergyman remembered.
 MT. Beale and his wife. who before her marriage was a Miss Bailey daughter of John c. Bailey of New York, spent the interval of time between their marriage and their departure for Europe at the Waldorf-Astoria. Their marriage was wit messed by the brides sister, Miss Maud Bailey.

Jamestown Exposition.

The government appropriation of nearly million and a half dollars for the Jamestown exposition was slow in coming, but now, that 1t is available, no time will be lost in erecting the buildings. The exposition is to be held on Hampton Roads, five or six miles from Norfolk The management se- lected an ideal site and the grounds are already improved and made at tractive with fine driveways, miles of cement guttering and sidewalks, and most beautiful of all. high fences of honeysuckle in old colonial style.
 Many commodious hotels have sprung up near the exposition grounds, but the exposition buildings are yet to be started. The company was wait ing for Uncle Sam's money. But con tracts have been let and before the date for beginning the Jamestown cele- bration-May 1, 1907, the management promises that every building will be completed and the exhibits assembled
 The Birmingham district will be rep resented at the exposition. A compre- hensive display of our rich resources will be made probably under the aus pices of the Commercial club.

cosTLINEss OF CARAVANS.
Charles Wellington Furlong in Harper's Magazine

Charles Wellington Furlong in Harpers
 Magazine.
 The merchants who fit out a garfia (car- avan) must stand all losses, consequently great care Is given to the selection of both the camels which carry the val uable merchandise and the men who &C., company them. The tall and swift riding camel, known as the mehari, is seldom met with in northern Tripoli. The finest male draught- t-camels, the jama1, costing from $50 to S60 apiece, with a carrying capacity of about three hundredweight, are used for transport. From consump- ton or the effects of the long strain, scores often die by the way, and many others at the end of the voyage" The wages of the men for conducting a return cargo are sometimes as high as five thou sand dollars. Not only must the garfla sheil<s have great courage and endur- ance. but must be trustworthy traders, and shrewd diplomats of no small caliber. Many of the sultans and chiefs, partic- ularly the Touaregs. through whose ter rdtories lie the garfla routes, exact not only homage but tribute from the garfla sheiks. To bring this tribute within a reasonable sum and secure a safe-con- duct requires extraordinary skill and tact, The opportunities for dishonesty afforded the garfla men are many, and occasional ly men and goods are never heard from again.
