What Would Be the Effect.

Fifth-If the United States has the DOW
err under the constitution to embark on
an extensive and monopolstic scale in
the development and merchandising of
the resources of the public lands, would
such action be in the interests of the
progress and development of the states?
Sixth-Would the power proposed to be
conferred by congress upon the depart
nent of agriculture, to regulate and con-
troll grazing upon the unappropriated and
unreserved lands of the United States
Fetard the settlement development ami
gradual absorption of the public lands into
private ownership as contemplated by
the constitution
Seventh-Has the government of the
United States the constitutional power to
interfere with public or private enter
prises in the construction Of irrigation
works and the utilization of the waters
of the streams within the state for irri-
cation or other purposes, to deny such
projects a right of way over public lands?

Change in Policy.
Question to Be Discussed.

The questions to be discussed at the
convention are-statcd as follows:
First-4as the United, States govern
ment the constitutional right to hold the
public lands within the borders of new;
state in perpetual ownership and under
municipal sovereignty without the consent
of the State2
Second-When the new states were ad-
mitted with all rights and privileges of
the older states, did not the agreement
include the right to acquire the public
lands for its citizens under the laws of
the United States?
Third-The withdrawal of large tracts
Of public lands in the west, having been
urged upon the ground of public neces-
sity, does such public necessity exist in
fact as would warrant large Withdrawals
already made?
Fourth-Has the United States consti-
tutionaf capacity to engage in merchan-
dising timber and coal in competition with
citizens of the state and if so, is there
any limit to that capacity?

At Southside Rink.

Last night at the Southsidc skating au- ditorium the final race was run between George kohn, John Harmon, Walter Mus tin and Raymond Dishheroon, the qual- flied skaters of the four nights races. The floor being smooth and in good con- dition the racers were lined up for the word "go,' and they went for blood; all worked hard. Disheroon jumped out from the start and took the lead and made by gaining one and one eighth laps in the entire mile. He gained about a quar- ter of a lap in every three laps run, and seemed to skate with comparative ease the entire race He was presented with a championship gold medal for Birmingham skating Walter Muslin ran second, win ming a pair of $125O Winslow saktes, with George Kohn winning a pair of sS skates for third prize. John Harmon fell in the third lap and jumped to his feet at once but was not able to gain on the others, and finished the mile about two laps be- hind.
 Next week a grand annual skating mask carnival will be given at the Southside rink and twenty-four prizes will be given to the winners of contests, including the most original costume, the most comical costume, the most attractive costume. the most graceful lady skaters, the most graceful gentlemen skaters, the most graceful couples, the most comical cou- pies, the most graceful two-steppers and several other contests. These prizes to be given in each contest. The carnival will be one of great merriment for skaters and all onlookers and will last the entire week.

New Gaycty.

Last nights performance at the New Gayety was important. It introduced new star to Birmingham, and through Birmingham to the musical world. Petite Nellie Jones, the pride of Bessemer in baby makeup, sang herself into instant fame warbling her baby songs with sweet soprano voice that made the au- dience long for just one more. And the audience got not only one more, but sev- eral more
 It was the amateur performance night. Manager McArde sprung series of sur prises that brought the house down, or up, with applause. Miss Jones naturally received the first prize, she being the first lady to appear in the amateur events, and the second place went to Luster and Price, contortionists, with q neat act that would make the Human Snake jealous were he to see it. Billy Bordean introduced as the Chauncey AL colt of song birds, was the third favor ite with the audience, and the original Chauncey never sang his way closer to his audiences hearts than did Billy last night.
 The other surprise was a surprise in deed A string of doughnuts was hung across the stage and the first youngster to devour one was given the prize. They tackled the doughnuts like a pack of hungry wolves the audience roared with laughter, and finally Willie Jones won by two crumbs. He received S1 for his abil- ity.
 With the performances this afternoon and evening this weeks attraction at the Gayety closes. Next week the Rose Hill English Folly company, favorites here, will play a return engagement.
