MIR. GUNTER .. NEXT MAYORp

 'I Pfesideat of the Council Is modestiy Relaetaat, But Doe. Not D.aS
 the soft Impesch-
 ment.

"Will GastoH Guntar be a candidate for Mayor?'i was the question which really became the motif in a banauet, given last night by Alderman ". w. Seidle to the other members of the Council and to several others of his friends.
 N And Mir. Gunter. gratefully acknowl- edging the osatfon--for, everybody present acclaimed him the next Mayor ---deprecated Ais aspirations and de- clined to say if he would ask for the position.
 The banquet, given in the Theatrical Club, brought together a majority of sral other very influential citizens. Mir. Sefdle, who Is a genius at gather ing together ti4e good spirits of the town, had planned it all. but all jpolft- teal intent was invisible. Mir. Seidle. of course. had gathered together for his friends all the good things they could eat.
 There were many. many speeches made, but nearly every one of them bore upon Mr. Gunter. He seemed to be the real oratorical piece de resist ance. Aldermen and men who had not and did not want office said that he ought to be Mayor. and matters came to such pass that Mir. Gunter had
 when MT. Gdnter did speak, after much persuasion. his words were worth listening to. He did not say much. He said that # had been his ambition to be Mayor of Montgomery, but that de- spite the importunities of his. friends he thought he might not properly say anything until the Central Council of the city had ordered the time of the primary election. But it was evident that MT. Gunter. if he wished to run. had to support him the moving spirits in city affairs. Mir. Gunter was wildly appIauded even when he said he was unwilling to announce.
 Speakers reviewed Sir. Gunter's ca- reer. He was A member of the Coun- ell Cor six years. For four years he has been president of the Council. He has neglected private business to at- tend to the affairs of the City. During ture he has worked for the affairs oi the municipalities of the State. Re- gently he was chairman o9 the Com mittee on municipal control.
 The bapquet was really intended aa al social gathering and only Mir. Gum ter's personality brought out the pol itIcal side During the evening Robert Lowe, regarded as Q successful candf. date for the position of alderman from Word Five. which will be vacated by the resignation of Robert Tait, elected Treasurer of the City, was called up on for a variety of speeches. and sev- eral other men spoke.

 Entertainments have been arranged for almost every bouT in the day and some of the hours of the night as well, but thessfact that Rear Admiral Evans, tue con1nander of the fleet, lS i'll, has caused the deepest regret. The Brazilian officials deplore this the more as they wished to make this visit the occasion for marked attentions to tho Americans: but Admiral Evans is sur fering from rheupatism and 1t Is fear ed>that he will not be able to be pres- eut at the functions and without his presence these must Jose somethipg. : Today Admirals Emory, Thomas Snd Sherry. accompanied by the captains Of all the battleships. paid visit to the minister of marine, Admiral Alencar, who returned the visit on board Ad- tniral Evans flagship Connecticut.

WILL BE PUT INTO SERVICE THIS
 MORNING.
LigIts Turned on Last Night And Many Interested Passers Saw
 Death Trap.

At last it has beeng finished. Every thing is ready. The lights were thrn- ed, on 1ast1nigltt. Today wiy mark the change. f
 The remodeled portion of the new jail has been completed and today the prisoners will be moved in right after they have breakfast. Nearly all of the details have been, looked after and the part of the Building that formerly conn prised the entire hall is ready to ret ceive its charges. -
 One of the, things that attracted the attention of many persons as they passed the building last night was that when the building is lighted good view of the hangroom can be seen from the street. Curtains are an un- heard of thing in a jail so everything in the line of sight can be seen when the lights are 1t. The new scaffold with fits deadly trap are all In plain view and many persons stopped last night to look at the thing at the same time renarking that it appeared grue- some when seen by electric lights.
 Some little work will be done on the annex of the jail and inside of week or so the contractors will be ready to quit and call the job done.

HARVARD INSTRUCTOR IS TOURING

Teacher spends Day In Montgomery tp Investigate Conditions of south v That He May Lecture to
 Northern Students.

Albert Bushnell Hart a professor in the faculty of the corporation of Har- yard University Is in the city and is registered lat the New Exchange Ho- tel MT. Hart ts travelling through the South to examine economic conditions that he may advisedly lecture upon them before the students of Harvard University. where he is soon to de- liver a serieP of lectures.
 Mir. Hart came tp Montgomery from Mobile. Previously he had come from Mississippi and his transactions in that State are perhaps the most interesting Of all his experiences in Dixie. He delivered. by invitation. a lecture in Jackson before the Historical Society of Mississippi. In an interview Mrs Hart stated that he was received with every personal courtesy, but his pro- gress through Mississippi, and especial ly his speech at Jackson, were watch ed cautiously by the natives because a few years ago MT. Hart delivered some remarkable remarks, as viewed from
 the Mississippi standpoint. upon the race question.
 But Mir. Hart has only nice things to say about the South. He has in part modified hissviews of the race
 question. and his views of the condl- tion of the Southern citizen are conIS plimentary. perhaps fiattering. What
 Is known as the small white farmer,
