le Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We received today your editions of Sat- urday and Sunday We read with interest your strong editorial of Sunday last, en- titled Prohibition and Morals" In which you make a comparison between the offl- cial records of Portland, Me. and Bir- mingham for arrests for drunkenness. So far as you went it was good and showed Birmingham in a favorable light. comparatively. but you failed to mention the other and most important fact, viz: That the streets of Portland have many drunken men who would be arrested were they seen in such condition in Birming- ham, Again there arc numerous old whisky soaks in Portland such as we have never seen in Birmingham.
 We desire the people of Jefferson county to know conditions prevailing in the light of the exact truth, but the official records of those two cities do not place them there, Another thing should be borne in mind, that the police department of Bir- mingham Is not being visited by people from all over the world Investigating con ditions of drunkenness, as is the case in Portland and other prohibition cities therefore, the officers E Birmingham are not so sensitive about the subject. We say in all candor that there Is no com parson between Birmingham and the large prohibition cities we have visited in the matter of intemperance in the use of intoxicants. yet Birmingham is larger than any one Of them, and it has a more cosmopolitan population than either, and being In steel, iron and mining country, has a class who ordinarily drink more than other people.

DIR. STEELE ANSWERS.
Claims He Is Correct On Tennessee
 Furnace Laws.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 see in your Wednesday issue that MT. Casper B. Kuhn corrects my statement in my Sunday sermon when I stated that the iron and mining interest in Tennes- see secured law keeping the saloon four miles from furnaces outside of towns. He says it was the four-mile school law se- cured by the University of Sewanee l want to thank our friend Kuhn for his kindness in correcting me. We all should want the truth. But as to my error, l must say lived IS years in Tennessee and happened to know that both the four-mlle school house law (the Adams law) and the four-mle furnace law were both passed. l heard Judge East in Nashville say, in a speech against the saloons.-if the special four-mile law to protect fur naees was good for that business, and if also the four-mile school house law was good for children at schools, why was it not good for all business and homes. I not only say it was passed in the iron interest in Tennessee, but also in Ala bama. I here cite six special acts of the legislature of Alabama to keep saloons of all kinds from two to three miles from coal and iron interests in Jefferson coun- ty: O Irondale furnace, @ any coaling ground in Jefferson county, (3) Red Moun- tain Iron and Coal company, March fl, 1873; (D Newcastle coal mines, (5 Alice furnace, (6 Hillman's mines in Jefferson county, 1883. Then in 1889 the saloon was shut out of every coaling and mining place in Jefferson county, and out of all places outside of corporate towns. So the Tennessee four-mie law is not hard to believe even in Alabama. Was it the sa- loon men or the iron owners here who secured the laws in Alabama?

CABBIE IS LEFT
 TO HOLD THE SACK
YOUNG MAN NEEDED THE CAR RIAGE AND SPENDS PLEASANT EVENING LARGELY AT THE Ex- PENSE OF THE HICKMAN.

He needed carriage. His clothes were fine, but his pockets were empty. The rack of coin didn't feaze him, however
 He evidently had an engagement to take a certain lady to the theatre last evening, and at the proper time hied himself to his dressing room and donned his snowy white shirt, spike-tail coat, silk hat and evening overcoat.
 Having thus arrayed himself he pro- ceeded to the street and began inspecting the different public carriages standing around. Finding one to his satisfaction he informed the driver that he would like to use him the entire evening, to which the cabman replied that he was open for business.
 Instructions were given to the cabman to drive in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico, out where the hills jut out from | zee of the earth. Arriving at the re 8nee of the certain lady he entered the house and in few moments returned with her. They entered the carriage and were driven to the theatre, and after the performance re-entered the carriage and were driven back to her house. Leaving the lady at the door the young man again entered the carriage and instructed the cabman to drive him to his house on the opposite side of town
 Up Twentieth street he was driven and as the carriage drew near the Louisville and Nashville station he stuck his head out of the window and told the driver to stop at the station. As soon as the car riage had stopped he sprang out and told the cabman to wait a minute until see about my train" His train was evi- dently leaving then and he must have just managed to catch the last coach, for the cabman is still waiting for his return and the cab fare, amounting to several dol lars.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Otis Skinner Toniuht.

For the Honor of the Family" play taken from one of Balzac's stories by Emile Fabre, and presented by Otis Skin- ner at the Jefferson theatre last night, proved to be subtly wrought and admir- ably acted MT. Skinner has done noth- ing finer, more virle and more imbued with the very essence of life than his Colonel Brldau. The very swagger of him is memorable, trick of gesture, glance, an exclamation-and Bridau Is a living entity MT. Skinner makes the part thor oughly delightful and plays 1t in an ad- mirable vein of comedy rather accentu- ating the lighter possibilities of the play.
 Bridau is a bold soldier of fortune and incidentally of the empire, who arrives in the home of his wealth uncle just in the nick of time, for a scheming woman and her soldier lover are plotting to strip the old man of all his fortune. The woman Is a genius for strategy and dissimula- ton, while her lover Is not far behind. but neither is a match for the persuasive, the indomitable, the overwhelming Colonel Bridau He comes in like q storm and thenceforward there Is little rest for the schemers. He puts his feet on the chairs, he beats the table with his stick, he threatens to whip a serving woman and he cajoleS his uncle, but all the time he sees his goal clearly and carries sym pathy with him, for It Is a fight to save the honor of a family.
 Bridau triumphs. The weak and befud- died uncle is saved against his will, the lover is killed in a duel and the false woman is driven out into the storm. Colonel Bridau Is master in the house.
 The play is strong, to say the least of it, although the ending is a trifie abrupt. The constant flash and counter flash of wit battling against wit the delineation of character and the wholesome comedy of it all made a performance that was thoroughly enjoyable. MT Skinner was received so enthusiastically that he was forced to make a curtain talk, while Miss Percy Haswell who played the principal womans part, Flora, acquitted herself Tn most able manner. She had part that was hardly less important than that of the star, but she grasped its possibilities and surmounted It's difficulties In a way that left nothing to be desired. A. G. An drews gave n true portrayal of an old dotard tine infatuated uncle and Francis Carlyle, was satisfactory as Gilet. The minor parts were well played.
