The Jamestown ExposItIon.

"It seems to me that the Birmingham district should provide for an extensive exhibit of her advantages and resources at the Jamestown exposition, to be held next year." said W. P Gum, secretary of the Bessemer Board of Trade yester- day.
 "rhs promises to be one of the great est and most successful expositions ever given in America. and I think 1t affords a specially fine opportunity for the display of our great resources. It will celebrate the 900th anniversary of the first perma- nent English settlement in the new world, and being held in the south, every south ern state and community should be rep resented.
 Tn view of the fact that all the great nations of the world will assemble exhib- it's at Jamestown, naturally attracting visitors from all quarters of the globe, Birmingham should not neglect the golden opportunity to demonstrate to the world the advantages of this section.
 With the resources we have at hand an exhibit could be assembled at com paratively small cost that could be made invaluable to the industrial and commer- cial interests of this district and to the state.
 "I would suggest that the matter be taken up at once and that necessary steps be taken to place at Jamestown an ex- hblt of the material advantages of this section that would not only be a credit to Birmingham but to the entire south. consider that we have in the Jamestown exposition a rare opportunity, and that to neglect it would be 8 serious mis- take"

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
'om Peebles' Every Month.

From Peebles' Every Month.
 Some complain that they cannot drink milk without being distressed by it' The most common reason why milk Is not well borne is due to the fact that people drink it too quickly. If a glass of it is swallowed hastily it enters into the stom- ach and then forms in one solid curdled mass, difficult of digestion. If, on the other hand. the same quantity Is slipped, and three minutes at least are occupied in drinking it then on reaching the stom- ach it is so divided, that when coagulated as it must be by the gastric juice, while digestion is going on, instead of being in one hard, condensed mass upon the out side of which only the digestive fluids can act, it is more in the form of a sponge, and in and out of the entire bulk the gastric juice can play freely and perform it's function.

HYDE NO FOOL ABOUT BOOKS.
Laughed at Alexander's Library, Made
 Up of Complete Sets.

From the New York American.
 J. W. Alexander. former president of the Equitable Life Assurance society, has sold his library. It cost him s5OOOO it brought back to him less than $5O0O. MT. Alexander's library was formed of sub scription sets of books
 James Hagen Hyde laughed so heartily at the Alexander library one day that Mir Alexander was offended. Perhaps his animosity toward MT Hyde had It's first impulse then. MT. Hyde's is really a boolk-lover's library. It has not single volume which has not retained it's value
 If he sold it here in London, Paris or any other civilized capital, MT. Hyde's library would bring much more than its cost But it was far above Mir. Alexan- der's head. He said to Mir Hyde:
 You haven't a complete Dickens!'
 Mir. Hyde replied:
 No author Is valuable in all his works There are no great authors; there are only great books to book-lover, Some times a god catches Kipling by the hair and forces him to write a great story, 8 series of stories--'P Plain Tales From the Hills, for example, The book-lover wants them. He wants their first Indian, their first English, their first American im- pgessions.
 F'Sonnetimes no god pays any attention to Kipling. He is left to himself and he writes 'Stalky & Co., A book-lover wants no impression of that
 Mir. Alexander did not understand. He was bewildered. He went back to his home, muttering to himself:
 That young man Hyde, must be abol- ished. He is dreadfully French. He will wreck the Equitable if he continues to be its vice president"
 Whether Mir AleXander's investments in bonds and mortgages were similar to his investments in books, book-lovers may not know; but they are much amused by bis eXperIence with books

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun. @ HE HON. STITCH MCCARTHY, lO (born Rothberg) was married
 Thursday night to the keenest locker in Willett street, Lilly Marks. They sat up all the night before counting and appraising the wedding presents, which filled two moving vans Also, they were watchful and wakeful lest thieves should break in, for the East Side sec ond-story artist is cunning and resource ful.
 Stitch and Miss Marks were married in the Synagogue Kehal Adath Jeshurin of Jassy at 5S and 50 Rivington street. The event was advertised for 6 o'clock, but it wasn't pulled off until for vari- ous reasons. MT. Mccarthy appeared with his brother, wearing an opera hat set at a cocky angle and a suit of swallowtails. shamrock, pendant from green rib- bons, decorated his shirt front, a compli- ment to the Irish vote.
 The bride was in white and looked what Stitch called her-"the real cheese" She was accompanied by her father, Abraham Marks. As Stitch and she passed into the church they were cheered in three languages, for two Ger mans had got into the crowd unbe- knownst.
 They were married under a gorgeous canopy of crimson velvet, fringed with gold tassels. Rabbi Isaac Woloscoff stood between them. Stitch, hat on, arms out, stood in Terry McGovern attitude, look ing in his agitation as if he were about to give her a left hook. The wedding guests advised him in whispers ito cut it out and stand up, and Stitch, after a few false breaks, was off to good start
 Stitch, fidgety with joy, met the re- porters after the ceremony. 'Aint she pretty?" said he winking at the bride who blushed and shook warning finger at the naughty fellow. First time 1 ever saw the lady l says. That for Mccarthy; 1 blowed into Lorbers one day and there she sat at table with her sister. Fath- CT Abraham, but she had me going So l sits down at the table and makes con versation, and she took to my style; and after I'd knocked the blocks off two or three fresh skates within the next few months, why was the candy man-that' S all.
 The bride agreed that it was fair rendering of the romance of Mccarthy and his Lily.
 Say said Stitch, you don't want to go away without seeing the presents. I've examined them and they're on the square"

PECULIAR DISCOVERY.
Alabama Find That Has Set Archaeo.
 logical World Agog.

From Harper's Magazine.
 In the northern edge of the heavily wooded ridge that overlooks the river bluff to the north, and the deep gully on the east which separates it from the last resting place of the chief of Mound c, some elan of ancient Moundvlle buried it's dead for untold generations, cutting through the dry bones of the old and forr gotten to make room for the new, and all too sorrowfully remembered. In such an aboriginal disturbance the beautiful head was struck from the vase and a portion of the chest shivered to frag- ments. It was a day long to live in the memory when a sharp edge of stone, projecting near the effigy pipe, was re- vealed to the excavators as a portion of a vessels rim, with surmounting bird S head. Excitement ran high. The entire digging force of twenty-three men was put to work In a circle throwing the dirt behind and keeping sharp lookout for further fragments. At last, in the newer grave, some feet away, the remainder of the stone vase was found intact, but the bits of broken crest were irrecoverabe in the sticky clay soil.
 This is the find which has set the arch geological world agog-an absolutely unique piece, beautiful in it's workmanship and in the symmetry of it's form. 1t is the chef doeuvre of an ancient artist who probably spent in its creation the greater part of his manhood. drilling with f1inty reed and fine ground quartz, carving with hard stone tools, polishing with stone and mostened sand, finishing with leather. slowly. slowly. here a little and there "a little sitting in the sun and stopping now and then to admire to chat, to discuss it's beauties and it's betterment with the other stone-age craftsmen who came to marvel and advise; then, when finished used perhaps in the great tribal councils, to hold the brew of bitter herbs. the po- tent "black drink" From 1t in such case drank each venerable councillor in turn, lifting the carved shell cup and drinking to the dregs.

Development In Plckens.

Hardly any other section in the state Is developing so rapidly as that territory lying along the Carrollton Short line In Pickens county" said J. Philipson, merchant of Alicevlle, who spent last Sunday with his mother in this city.
 ''The Carrollton Short line is a new rail- road running from Reform on the Mobile and Ohio to Allceville. a distance of about thirty miles, and passing through one of the richest agricultural sections in the state. The building of the railroad has given a stimulus to the development of the country in all directions. Several prosperous towns have sprung up along the line and the material development has been very great.
 "Allcevlle has not yet been ineorporat- ed but is growing very rapidly. It is located in the midst of a very fertile agricultural section which is being rapidly developed
 T understand that there is a move ment on foot to extend the Carrollton Short line to Mobile and if this Is done the road will become one of the most im- portant independent lines in the south and will greatly benefit the entire western section of the state.9

 Prosperity is still with us and will likely remain in evidence until the spring, After that the crop outlook will have all to do with determining business con dtions Prudent traders and financiers will begin to govern themselves by more conservative rules from now until next summer Speculation is being overdone and many men who are carrying stock on margin will be forced to close their deals"

America at AIneciras.

On some day of next week an inter- national conference of deep interest to Germany and France at least will meet in the little Spanish town of Algeciras near Gibraltar. The peace of Europe only is involved in the action of this conference, and yet the United States will have two representatives in it.. This will not so much be because we have had worlds honors thrust upon us. as it will be because we partici- pated in the Madrid conference which was convened in 1880 to consider Mo roccan subjects.
 It is difficult, however, to see what business this country will have to transact at Algeciras, for the open door in Morocco Is conceded by all Germans and all Frenchmen, and we will not have to go to Algeciras to secure that.
 The real question to be determined at Algeciras will relate to the political and police control of Morocco, and as to those questions we will have to yio- late all American precedent and prac- tice if we meddle with or vote upon them.
 The French claim was thus set forth by Premier Rouvier in the House of Deputies:
 "rhe peculiar position which we hold in Morocco is not simply the outcome of the vast extent of common frontier Our rights reach further. France is a Mussulman power in North Africa, where we have to maintain and preserve our authority over a population of-6'OO0,D0 na- tives in contact with 100000 European col onists The community of language, re- ligion, and race which draws this native population toward that of Morocco makes it keenly alive to every agitation that grows up in the neighboring country whether from It's lack of regular gov ernment or the establishment in 1t of a 
 hostile government We have therefore a right to demand that in the Empire of Morocco there shall exist power that Is both in accord with tradition and Is everywhere obeyed; and, on the other hand, we have the right to make sure for ourselves that such government will never be led to use it's authority to threat en our territory and breed trouble in our colony"
 Germany's position has not been compactly defined, but she no doubt will deny that France is entitled to q special or privileged position in Mo rocco. She will insist that all Europe is interested in the fate of Morocco that it is above all else Mediterran- can question-that the policing of the Algerian frontier calls for an inter- national force.
 None of these questions concern this country None of them need con cern it, for there are not over 5000 Christians in Morocco, including Ion Perdicaris, the rest of the population consisting of Berbers, Arabs and ne- groes, about S,000,0O0 in all. The United States can not fully participate in the conference without handling questions that are political, local and European, and when we do that still another departure will be made from George Washington's farewell ad- dress.
