MT. Bryan's Candidacy

The Mobile Register receives the dacy with kindly spirit. It finds noth- ing in it or in the man to condemn. It especially comments his outspoken position in favor of tariff revision as good democratic doctrine-the doctrine that demands equal rights to all and special privileges to none. "The demo- cratic sentiment of the country it says, in conclusion, points to MT. Bryan as the strongest popular candi- date the party can advance against MT. Roosevelt Like the expectation now fulfilled on the democratic side, there is a feeling among republicans that MT. Roosevelt will again carry the banner in the presidential contest Bryan against Roosevelt will give campaign such as the American people have not known for many years. Both popular; both strenuous; both possess ing the magnetism that turns foes into friends; Spanish war record little in the background as to Bryan because of want of opportunity, but enough to speak of; staying powers as to length and breadth of public speeches, "horse and horse:" age, physical and mental calibre, about tie-verily, the parties will have little to do with it; it will be a campaign rather of men than of measures"

Ciqar Trade Holds Up.

"The financial conditions certainly have not disturbed the cigar trade" said Clerk Crenshaw of the Brown Cigar company yesterday. "The sale of tobaccos has in- creased this fall more than ever.
 ''In fact, the purchasers of 10, 15 and 2O- cent cigars are unusually numerous. If good smoke Is a register of good times, we are a far way from hard times now.

 @ OR many years the cocktail has ~ been bone of contention among bibulous connoisseurs. Recondite discussions as to ingredients, proportions, temperature, etc, are phenomena of al- most daily occurrence in every well or ganized club. Until MT. Fairbanks sur reptitious attempt at his infamous lunch con to dissipate the habtua1 reserve and taciturnity of his chief-to catch him off his guard, as the saying is, and induce him to say something indiscreet-by the use of these tongue looseners the general public knew little about them Since that episode everything is different.
 Persons whose idea of a cocktail was as hazy as of vino. aguardiente, sake, or even the nectar of the Olympian gods, are now become votaries at its shrine. Led by curiosity as to things so wicked and baneful that their mere setting forth upon a luncheon table could banish a man from church conference and ruin his chances for the presidency persons spurred on by such innocent curiosity have looked, tasted, smacked their lips, and promptly fallen victims to its blandish- ments. It is said that as a direct result of that luncheon and the discussion fol- lowing it the imports of vermouth and bitters already show an enormous in crease, and the demand for maraschino cherriess and small olives Is of unprece- dented proportions.
 All of these statements-whch may or may not be facts-give unusual interest to a question just raised by an old cocktail drinker as to why these compounds are

I should like to box every day with man who would make me work hard, but it is no fun to do so with someone you can easily hold off. The prize ring makes a man give up some of his finer sensibilities. I did not want to do that and so I left it."

 When poets rhyme
 Of pumpkin pie
 And gently sigh
 For turkey meat.

 For dressing rare

 And dainties fit

 To happiness

Bachelors Apartments.

"All the apartment houses, or flats as they are commonly called which have been built in this city are financial sue cesses," said William D. Spink but there is still a demand for building suitable to the accommodation of that unfortunate individual. the bachelor.
 "The apartment house is designed to meet the demands of small family, which requires only three rooms and the usual conveniences, but the bachelors apartment house consists mainly of sin gle rooms to which the bachelor returns to sleep and leaves to go to work.
 "A good substantial building, five stories high. and a basement. built on lot 30 feet by 120 feet, would provide accommodation for about 100 young men and the rental from the furnished rooms in such a building would be about $l000 per month, or $12,000 a year The entire cost of such a building, including the price of the ground and furnishing, would probably be s75,000, or in other words it would be a Is per cent investment After making all allowances for working eX- penses there should be a clear profit of s6000 a year, or per cent.
 But it Is really more than IS per cent, because, instead of being s12,000 a year. it Is $i000 d month, and that money can be assured by making tenants pay in advance Regarded as a business propo- sition it is better than big office build ings, and as a necessity in the city it is one of the greatest.
 'If a stock company were formed I have no hesitation in saying that sev-, eral of our business men would sub scribe, just for the sake of providing suitable accommodations for their em- poyes I would take stock in it n.y. self and any young man who wanted to secure room in that apartment house would buy a share of stock, as stockholders would have first claim for rooms. I have been considering this matter for some time and have already drafted plans of the proposed building ''
