Paulo and Pernambuco and went to
Europe to round out his education. He
began his diplomatic career in 1876 as
attache Of the first class to the Bra
lillian legation in Washington, where
he remained for three years. He was
afterward minister to England and
envoy in a special capacity to Italy.
He was for some years a member of
the Brazilian congress. and it was dur
ing that period Of his career that he
took an active part in the abolition of
slavery in the republic. He is popular
with his countrymen and with the
diplomats of the two Americas and on
this account and because of his knOwl-
edge Of affairs is considered especially
well qualified to preside over the DELHI
erations Of the pan-American gathering

ROSE BLOOM.

l had no thought of writing rhyme
Before l met with Rose,
l was contented till that time
To put my thoughts in prose-
But every man must bow to Fate,
And what was l to do
A youth just getting through the gate
Of twenty-one and two?
Just getting through the gate, and
there
My steps the goddess stayed
And suddenly-a vision fair
Before me stood a maid
Amid the buds that bore her name.
Such was Fate's pretty plan,
Then all my prose to fms came,
And Rose and rhyme began.
A glance, smile, a modest blush,
A parley all too brief,
Each word upon the fragrant bush
Fell softly like a leaf.
The summer sun looked down above
The flowers were listening,
o, when a youth begins to love
What can he do but sing?
Plain prose is we'll enough at times,
1t has it's proper place,
But Rose and love were meant for
rhymes,
And wear a lyric grace.
And Rose it is inspires my songs,
Demure and sweet is she,
To her does every grace belong,
But she belongs to me.
-Lue F. Vernon.

A BRAZILIAN STATESMAN.

DR.. Joaquin A. Nnbuco. President Of
Pan-Amerfcan Congress.
1t is customary for the president OF
a an-American congress to be citi-
zen of the republic in which it is being
held. In accordance with this prece-
dent the conference which met on July
% at Rio Janeiro chose Brazilian for
it's presiding officer in the person Of
DIR. Joaquin Aurelio Nabuco de Araujo,
ambassador of Brazil to the United
States. The choice was recognized as
an appropriate one and as compliment
tary to the United States. in view Of his
being accredited to 1t as ambassador.
He is one of the ablest statesmen Of
Brazil and a diplomat Of wide expert
ence and varied knowledge.
DR.. Nabuco is not only statesman
and a diplomat, but also an author and
a scholar of unusual attachments. In
his writings he has expressed senti-
ments of special friendliness toward
the United States, and for this reason
his appointment as the first ambassador
of Brazil to this country was most
pleasing at Washington. When young
man he graduated from the law de-

Democratic Primaries in Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. 27.-The
democratic primaries are held in this
state today and an unusually large
vote is expected. The campaign has
been very animated and interesting
and the result of the primaries is
awaited with great deal of interest.
The campaign for the senatOrship was
particularly lively and attracted more
interest even than the contest for the
governOrship. The contest lies be-
tween United States Senator John T.
Morgan and Senator E. w. Pettus ?
The gubernatorial contest is between
B. B. Conner and DR.. r. w. Cunning
ham. The principal candidates for the
congressional nominations are former
Governor Joseph F. Johnston, John B.
Knox, who was president of the con-
stitutional convention, former Cover
nor w. c. Oates, Congressman John
H. Bankhead, Richard Clarke, of Mo-
bile, w. c.. Fits of Mobile and one
or two others. The three candidates
for lieutenant governor are Col.
Henry B. Gray of Birmingham, D. J.
Meador of Marengo county and EN-
NETT O'Neal of Florence.

send all her money to the national
secretary Of the socialist party of the
United States, though he cannot assure
her that, it would be accepted AS nothing
makes a philanthropist so down-heart
ed as to tender forty or fifty millions
to a great cause and have it rejected,
Mrs. Sage will probably not write her
check to the national secretary until
she has learned something of the dis
position of the grand old socialist
party. Meanwhile she might send a
dollar to each of the other parties,
knowing that this modest contribu-
ton would be thankfully received.
Probably Mrs. Sage sometimes wish
es Russell had given away his millions
himself. 1t is quite chore to dispose
of a freight car full of money. If
she gave it to her fellow citizens it
would amount to little more than half
a dollar EACH If she handed it all over
to New York it would not make a dent
in the city debt. If she built libraries
it would look like an infringement of
copyright

a wheelbarrOw load each merely to
tighten her burden.

THE SAGE MILLIONS
God bless the stair!

What Mrs. Sage will do with the
millions left her by her husband is an
interesting question to speculate upon
The Independent has lately obtained
from a number of men brief statements
of what they think she ought to do.
Five of the nine replies received favor
same measure for advancing education.
One would endow independent news
popers which would neither Scream US
deaf nor cry us blind" Another would
propagate the socialist party and
third would apply the whole wad to
preventing vivisection.
President David Starr Jordan in his
letter makes the point that money
used to promote scientific research
does the most for humanity since it
blesses not only the man who receives
the direct benefit, but through him bears
upon countless other lives. James
Mexican Cattell agrees with this senti-
ment, saying he has little faith in
charity or endowments. He praises
the late Alfred Belt for his gift OF
money to improve the means of COM
munication in South Africa. E. Ben
jamin Andrews thinks Mrs. Sage could
not do better than give $5O,000,0OO in
a lump sum to the General Education
board Marion Harland believes in
the erection of homes for retired school
teachers.

Of over a million members, and the in
fluence this organization possesses is
largely due to his efforts during the
many years he has been at its head.
He was born in England in 1850, but
most Of his life has been spent in this
country. His father was a cigarmaker
and at the aSe of ten he went into the
shop and in time became a Journey
man, working at the making of cigars
for twenty-siX years. His fingers have
not lost their cunning and the president
of the Federation Of Labor can still
roll as good a cigar as any one need
wish to smoke. He was once asked
regarding the income he received as the
chief officer Of great labor organiza-
ton and in reply stated that though
he had been president Of the fedora
ton for more than twenty years he
had not grown rich on his salary dur
ing that time For the first five years
he received no salary. working at his
trade to support himself and doing his
work Of organizing unions at night or
on holidays. At the end Of that period
he gave up cigarmaking and devoted
his entire time to the federation at a
Salary Of $1,000 a year. Gradually the
salary was increased until II reached
81, 100, and it was only about two years
ago his compensation as head Of the
order was made $1,000.

The evening newspaper is unmis-
takably the paper of progress and
success. Its development in point OF
circulation and advertising patronage
during the past two decades is the
most striking fact in all the record
of American journalism. The people
of this country, In truth, have awaken
ed to the fact that in the evening
newspaper they find the type of them
selves and their times, and they have
supported and encouraged it accord
ingly, until it is now the dominating
factor in the newspaper world of this

A western lawyer says that he vas

stranger attracted some attention. On
his part he eyed the judge narrowly

loudly on the bench in front of him
and finally rose and sauntered I'D to tbe
bar, where he poured out for himself y
glass of iced water.
The judge presiding, nervous ana
testy old fellow, had himself observed
the young man and by his frowns had
given evidence of his disapproval
When the stranger had boldly marched
up to the bar and had taken the wafer
it looked as if the judge would boil
over with Indignation at this exhibition
of temerity. amounting almost to con-
tempt. THAT water, SIR" roared the
judge, 'is for attorneys and other Off

Whereupon the strange young man
turned red and left the courtroom. But
the court was to see more of him. for
in about half an hour he returned. bear

The judge now glared at him in the
most savage manner, but the young
man flinched not. Finally, during lull
