GENERALIZATION In progress In daily cir
culation since 1850, in which year the
10 leaders contributed 9l5 per cent.
IL that year the states having the
largest daily circulation were In order
of Importance New York, Pennsyl
yania. Massachusetts, Maryland, Ohio,
Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia
fincluding West Virginia,) Tennessee
and Missouri TO supply 9O5 per cent
of the aggregate daily circulation In
1905 81 states or two-fifths OF the to-
tai number would be required. In
1906 the proportion contributed by
the 10 leading states in 1850 had
shrunk to 1871 per cent. Since 1850,
n states and territories have been
created out of territory not then or
ganized or having territorial govern
ment. These states in 1905 con.
tributed l,575,995 aggregate daily cir.
culation per issue.
The Weekly.
The aggregate weekly circulation
per issue was 36,732,037 in 1905. In
1850 the North Atlantic states PRO
duced practically two-thrds of the ag-
eregate weekly circulation per issue,
New England alone contributing one
FIFTH. but in 1906 the entire geographic
group. including New England, report
ed but little more than one-third Of
the total weekly circulation.
From 1850 to 1860 the aggregate
circulation per issue Of weekly publ
cations more than doubled, but at no
time since that decade has so great
a proportion Of increase occurred. 1t
is likely that the period OF greatest
increase in weekly circulation has
nassed. There has, however been a
more marked increase in weekly cir
culation in urban than in rural states,
due probably to the establishment or
continued prosperity of exceptional
publications having literary or pic,
torial character. The production of
the weekly shows less concentration
locally than any other class of publ
cation.
The list of 10 states contributing
the largest circulation Of weekly pub
locations in 1905. differs somewhat
from that OF the largest producers Of
dailies. and their total contribution to
the total weekly circulation is consid-
erably less TINA that of the 10 largest
producers of the other classes. More
over. the proportion of total circula
ton of the weekly contributed by the
10 leading states is decreasing. 1t is
therefore difficult to escape the con
clusion that the weekly is primarily a
representative of the rural sections
and that it will never be supplanted
| in this capacity.
The weekly paper has performed an
undoubted service. Wherever pic
reers pushed into the wilderness, OF
newly developed mines or manufac
turing enterprises attracted inhabit
ants to new communities, the news

The Texas Cy- clone" would be a more appropriate name for Mrs. Curtis, inasmuch as she takes her audience by storm. For an hour and a half she held her audience spell l-bound-sometimes in laughter and again tears streamd down tn cir checks, she told more truths in less time than any speaker we ever heard. Mrs. Curtis touched upon all phases of the social question and proved an able exponent of the temperance cause in particular.

A number of Birmingham women will attend the state convention of the ". C. T. U., which meets this week in Montgomery. About one hundred dele gates will attend the convention. which will be the twenty third since organ ization. It will be seen that the W. C. T. U. ranks in point of years ahead of any club organization in the state. It's work too, has always been along phil anthropic and educational lines. It's mission has been to prison cells, to the poor and miserable districts, to the sick and dying, as well as to the living. Its banner is that of temper ance and it has waged q bitter war against the liquor traffic. No orzan- iaztion has done as effective work for the betterment of social conditions. The several reforms agitated by other or ganizations. particularly rescue work, have long been part of w. c. T. U. work.
 The convention will be addressed by several noted speakers. Governor Conner will make an address and the Rev. Brooks Lawrence of the Anti-Sa . loon league will be among those Whc will address the convention. Miss Julia Tutwiler will speak on prison and Jall work. and Mrs Florence Forbes will lead in the round table discussion, speaking upon the work among rail- road employees.
 The principal speaker for the con yention will be Mrs. Mamie Gurus or Sherman Tex. who will later come to Birlnin gham to work with the cehtrai prohibition campaign.

New Library With Some Unique Fea-
 lures at Columbus.

Columbus, Ga, October 12.-(Spe- cial) )-An interesting feature of the new public library in this city, which has just been completed and which will shortly be thrown open to the use of the general public, is department the chief end of which is to add to the pleasure and happiness of the children, especially the poor children of Colum- bus. The librarian considers it the most important department of the whole institution, and special stress will be laid on its work.
 It is often said that a Carnegie library (and this happens to be among the many donations of the noted phi lanthropist) benefits only limited proportion of the population and that the poorer classes very seldom avail themselves of it's advantages. It is proposed to establish very different state of affairs in Columbus, and to this end a special invitation Is to be extended to the working people and their children to make themselves at home in the library, and in addition the children's department is going to be made so attractive that when once the little boys and girls of the mill workers form the habit of attending they will find it so pleasant that the habit will be permanently fixed. The children's department has been ar ]! ranged with much care, special thought | being given to it's equipment, and the assistant librarian will give her per sonal attention to the little folks and | their wants at all times. Adjoining the l chidren's department is cosy little auditorium. and here stories will be i told the children at regular intervals
 by the librarian. The youngest chil- l dren will find lots at the library to en- certain and instruct them, for the
 storytelling feature is iIaugurdted 1 largely for their benefit
 Children will not simply be invited
 to the library, however. for visits will be paid to many homes, especially
 among the laboring people, and the l idea will be impressed that their little
 ones will be heartily welcomed and l looked after with care. Columbus now j, has many thousands of industrial work ] CTS, and it is indeed fitting that the .management of the new library should
 be planning so wisely to make it a l truly popular institution.

The Actor and His Voice.

The supreme gift of the actor is his voice. A singer may or may not be vocally gifted Yvette Guilbert gives all the effect of melody, even eVokes the spirit of tragic horror, with vocal organs that are stiller and smaller than the proverbial voice of con science. The most famous Carmen of our day is said on authority to be one of the worst singers. To the great actor, writes John Corbin in Apple tons Magazine, the essential is voice, again voice, always voice. MT Mans field himself has said something of the kind very eloquently in an address to the students of the Empire School of Acting Think of your voice as a color and as you paint your picture (the character you are painting, the scene you are portraying) mix your cOlOrs. You have on your palate (palette) a white voice, la vOiX blanche; a heavenly ethereal or blue voice, the voice of prayer; a disagree able, jealous or yellow voice; steel gray voice for quiet sarcasm; a brown voice for hopelessness; a lurid, red voice for hot anger; a deep, thunder
 GUS voice for black; a cherry voice, the color of the green sea that a brisk breeze is crisping; and then there's a pretty little pink voice. and the shades of vi6let-but the subject is endless"
