Oeks Like Bryan. ''

Under the foregoing title the Mont gomery Advertiser frankly proceeds to seat itself in the Bryan bandwagon. predicting even before the band begins to play the nomination of the Nabras- kan because, as 1t expresses the situa- ton, he seems to hold "the trumps."
 The coming over of the Advertiser is significant and satisfactory. It springs from the feeling of hopeful ness that permeates the democratic party of today. Union is easy when there is hope. When there is none disintegration is just as easy and natural. The democrats are getting together sinking all minor, obsolete and essential differences, simply because victory is in the air. This Is idly. But there is room for all, even for the Mobile Register.
 The Advertiser intimates that MT. Bryan has abandoned "his old-time heresies." It is, however, mistaken. The heaven-born ratio Is abeyance only because the per capita circulation has risen to about $33, whereas in 1896 it was down to about s21. The gold mines have filled the pockets of the people. If the gold mines should give out MT. Bryan would no doubt again bring forward his "heresy." Nor has the Man from Nebraska changed his views on the need of an income tax, on the direct selection of United States Senators by the people, on the initia- tive and referendum, on the trusts, and particularly on Dingleyism. He stands where he has always stood-in favor of government of the people, by the peo- pie, for the people. He stands for the re-establishment of the competitive principle, and this means that the trusts must in some way be dissolved.
 The word conservative" that the Advertiser uses so glibly has damp, grave-like smell. It comes from the catacombs of the nineteenth century. It has no relation to or place in the progressive twentieth century. This Is not a hold-bacl1 age in any country. least of all in these United States. The Advertiser is now calmly and firmly seated in the Bryan bandwagon, and it should at once blue-pencil the word conservative" in its dictionary, for it will have no further use for 1t.

Dangerous Practice.

"The practice of number of drivers of automobiles of speeding past Five Points is a dangerous one" said Police man Dickson, who is stationed at that place. Sooner or later some one is going to run over a child at Five Points and then 1t will be too late for them to be sorry.
 There are only few people who run their cars recklessly on the Highlands and I have warned them that 1t must stop Several have been arrested and fined by Judge Feagin, but I do not like to make arrests when there are other ways of getting people to obey the laws.
 Children are almost always playing around Five Points and in the streets on the Highlands. and the drivers of auto mobiles should be very careful about the speed with which they run their machines If one of them were to kill child they would never forget it as long as they lived"

Majestic Theatre.

"R. E. Ricksen, vice president of the Interstate Amusement company, Is ex- pected in Birmingham in a day or two" said Robert E. Murphy last night ito make a final inspection of the new Majes- tic theatre. The finishing touches will be given this pretty playhouse under his direction and every thing will be put In readiness for the formal opening next fall.
 "The Majestic theatre will prove a sur prise and delight to Birmingham the atre-goers when they enter 1t for the first time Not only Is the house a model of coziness and convenience, but the in- terior decorations are exceedingly hand some. They are in perfect taste and there is nothing garish about the color scheme.
 "The seating capacity of the house be- ing about twelve hundred, will make it quite a roomy theatre-much more so than most people suppose. It is proposed to make a first-class family theatre out of the Majestic. catering especially to women and children with refined vaudeville pro- grammes"

hIuhland Avenue.

Highland avenue Is probably the finest residence street in the south" said a visitor to Birmingham recently ana when the Improvements under way arc completed it should easily outstrip Peach tree street in Atlanta, which has previous ly held the record.
 "Peachtree is straight and fiat. There are no natural sites for the erection of handsome homes, whereas on Highland avenue every 100 feet brings new bit of scenery and a picturesque place on which to build handsome home.
 Another advantage that Highland ave- nue has over other streets is that the homes are all new and modern fin their construction. Very few of them are over ten or twelve years old. and large num- Der of them have been constructed with in the past year or two. All of the homes are handsome and many of them are in the center of well kept lawns with trees and flowers.

FRESH AIR FOR MINE WORKERS
New Respiratory Apparatus Tried In
 France.

From L'Illustration.
 The Society of Mines at Courrieres has just undertaken fin shaft No series of experiments with new respiratory apparatus called pneuma togen. Every appartus designed for allowing the stay in a deleterious environment must fulfill three essential conditions: exclusive conn munication of the respiratory organs with a reservoir of respirable gas; together with a light weight, sufficient capacity of this reservoir to supply man for Q certain time; elimination of the expired carbonic acid which would poison the pure air.
 The pneumatogen, which seems happily to realize these three conditions, is based upon the method of the renewal of vitiat- ed air devised several years ago by NJ. George F. Joubert. It consists of an India rubber bag, worn in front, about waist high, and supported by a strap passing up one side of the miners chest, around his neck and down the other side. Into this bag by means of a mouthpiece he sends the products of respirat ton, which arc compelled to go through two tubes containing grains of oxylith. The oxylith, or stones of oxygen, has the prop erty of retaining steam and carbonic acid while setting free corresponding quan- tity of oxygen. The vitiated air therefore finds itself renewed when it becomes stored in the bag.
 The experiments made at Courrieres have given excellent results. The miners furnished with the new apparatus have been able to work more than two con secutive hours in shafts where the air was absolutely lnrespirabie.

increase Membership.

"The movement to increase the mem bership of the Commercial club to 1000 members is a most excellent one," said one of the committeeman yesterday "The day when Birmingham's Commercial club can set still and wait for things to come to it has passed and we must go forward now on bigger and broader lines.
 We ought to keep a high priced man on the road working for new industrial plants for desirable immigrants and for conventions. We must advertise and talk Birmingham as never before, and all this can't be done without members and with out money. If President Jemison and his new administration can accomplish this. they will have done a great work.
 .aThe clubs idea in having permanent exhibit on the fourth floor of it's building, to show the resources and manufactured products of the district is one of the most effective advertisements the club has un- dertaken In a long while"

WHEELING THE BABY,
Opinions of Young Lawyer Who Trun,

From the New York Globe.
 A certain young lawyer whose business connections bring him much in touch with some corporation interests has not had his head swelled by his rapid rise in the las few years, and has vetoed some of his wifes ambitions to climb the social lad der He has a baby daughter to whom he is very much devoted. and occasionally, on a Sunday afternoon, will take the youngster out for an airing In her per ambulator.
 A few Sundays ago the lawyer and his wife were out with the baby carriage big concerns for which the lawyer holds a retainer walking with friend.
 'I never was so mortified in my lifc!'' exclaimed the wife, after the magnate had passed
 You must not wheel the baby carriage in public again.
 Nonsense" replied her husband His further remarks were interrupted by his brother who had been hurrying to over take him.
 ''I heard compliment to you just now, Jim" said the brother. You kno" st, the traction man?'
 Just met him." said the lawyer.
 "So did L. said his brother. He was talking with his friend about you. I heard him say. "A very promising young lawyer--must be a decent sort of chap. too. He's making a lot of money, but he isn't too proud to push his own baby carriage I'll have to keep an eye on him. Pretty good. wasn't it?"

Conqress Should Not Adjourn.

Congress has no moral right to ad- jturn until it has acted on the Tfllman bill That bill prohibits contributions of corporation money to national cam- paign funds. The Senate has passed the bill, and Congress should not ad- journ until the House acts on it, and the bill is sent to the President for his signature.
 The President talks freely when canal or rate or meat inspection propo- sitions come before him. but not a word has been heard from him on tho subject of political contributions since his annual message was sent in. He said in that message, All contribu- tions by corporations to any political committee or for any political purpose should be forbidden by law" A few words by him now on that subject would pass the Tillman bill in the House. Will they be spoken?
 Can the republican party afford to adjourn with the Tillman bill in a pigeon hole?
 True. the Tillman bill does not un- cover the slush funds of 1896, 1900 and 1904, the three greatest scandals in the entire history of the country. But the republicans dare not do that. That task goes over to the first democratic House that Is elected, probably the one to be elected in November next.
 In the meanwhile Congress should pass the Tillman bill. If 1t does not do so--if 1t adjourns with that bill hung up-it will simply repeat to the public Vanderbilt's famous remark, and proceed to work the trusts and cor porations for still larger slush funds.

Statesmen Stampeded.

The young man who suspended all business in Washington, legislative as as well as executive, was an emissary of A. Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, O.. Lincoln Beachey, a young assistant or Aeronaut Knabenshue, was In charge of the airship that toyed familiarity alike with the top parts of the Wash ington monument and of the capitoPs own dome. Statesmen tumbled over themselves to get where they could watch MT. Beachey's capers in the air A fitful northeast wind was blowing and yet the airship was under perfect control. It could be brought to any spot on earth, and in the air it obeyed Beachey's slightest touch. So intent was Congress in watching his every motion that neither House could trans act any business until he returned to his home in Virginia, four miles down tl6 fOlOIUdC. I1e Cdut uOWn oute at the White House in order to deliver a note to the President and then he sailed down the avenue to the capitol. where he again came to earth in order to fill his gasoline tank. His tuff-tuff will not soon be forgotten in Washing ton.
 But MT. Beachey should not overdo the business in the closing days of the season, when Congress has much busi- ness to transact. It is plain that legis- lation and aeronautics cannot go on together. It is plain that airships are more attractive to statesmen than roll calls or even congressional speeches. The difficulty is new, and Beachey should not push it to a crisis.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 By any other name the devil would be as tempting.
 A woman seems to have special grudge against any kind of chair that is com fortable.
 It's a good deal meaner to have money and not spend it than to spend when you haven't got 1t.
 A girl has to have mighty poor com plexion not to be afraid 1t might get spoiled by sunburn.
 The thing that puzzles a man is how it is that a woman can't get on the shoe of another whose feet are so much big ger than hers.

Locks at Panama.

With a yigor and suddenness that has almost taken the breath away from MT. Aldrich's Senate, the House has declared that not a cent of the item of 5,OOO,O0O in the sundry civil bill shall be spent on a sea level canal. The vote was 110 yeas and 36 nays. That, together with President Roose- velt's threat to veto a sea level propo- sition, settles the matter at once and for all time.
 The House in the last hours of the session is asserting itself, and the Senate will simply have to acknowl- edge that in the last round it has lost its grip on affairs. It prefers a sea level canal, but its wish has been turned down by the House, which Is in full rebellion and has its knife out There is no room for compro-

HEAD FULL OF DIAMONDS.
Strange Tale of Gem Stuffed Idol in
 Philadelphia.

In the head of an antique and hideous stone idol, the whereabouts of which is puzzling the Philadelphia police, Is be- leved to have been smuggled Into this country gems valued at s6,0QO,O00.
 The image was discovered in a stable of furniture firm In West Philadelphia, and placed in a store show window as a decoration.
 Shortly afterward the members of the firm were warned In an anonymous letter not to give away or sell the image. a re- ward being promised If 1t should be re- placed in the stable. The firm did not wish to part with 1t, however and not- fled the police and their employees to prevent it being stolen.
 Notwithstanding all precautions, says the Star, the image mysteriously disap- peared. Policemen outside and clerks within had been on the watch all evening. About o'clock. when one of the clerks turned to look at the idol in the window after having been engaged in another direction only few minutes, the image was gone.
 On Wednesday the promised explanation came It was a tale of adventure in strange lands and of an ingenious me- thod of smuggling stolen jewelry into the country.
 According to the story told by the letter, the writer Is an Italian who after various vissitudes in earning a living in Europe was sent by his employer to South Africa to assist in the selection of diamonds. After arriving in Cape Colony he made the Acquaintance of Cecil Rhodes, and by the consent of his employer went to work for the magnate.
 Leaving him in after years. he fell in with Barney Barnato. and went with him to the diamond fields at Kimberley. Here he fell In with another man, whose name he does not give.
 "Kaffo," as the writer called himself and his friend secured a lot of diamonds
 The climax came in thunderstorm ir which his friend was killed by lightning Kaffo was stunned, but soon recovered and unearthed the precious stones ac- cumulated by his friend and prepared to leave the country.
 Ills great problem was to conceal the stones, so as to smuggle them out of the country His eyes fell on the idol. The head of the image was hollow and It had been used as a water cooler.
 He dropped the diamonds in through the eye holes and stopped the holes by cementing paste diamonds fin them. He came to Philadelphia, where fellow countryman, whose acquaintance he made at boarding house, appeared to be fas- cinated by tbe image. One day this new friend and the idol were both missing.
 The friend he found In dying condition in a hospital. He confessed to stealing the image. and told where he had con cealed 1t in stable. This was month after it's disappearance. The next night Kaffo went to the stable. only to find that the idol was gone On November IS he saw a picture of the idol in a Philadelphia paper. Then came the correspondence and the theft
