Relative Rank of Large Cities

"In the census list of 100 largest cities in 1900 Birmingham came last with 3S, ,415 ard Mobile next to the last with SS, 469, but in the list for 1910 the city that ranks No. loo will have something like 5O,000 as well as one may figure it out from the census announcement thus far made" said a local statistician Ten years ago there were only eight cities in the 10O-list with a population below 40,OoO. Most all the cities have made good gains. and perhaps not more than a half dozen that appeared in the table of 1900 will be dropped in favor of cities that were below Birmingham.
 Tn 1900 Atlanta was the forty-third city in point of population, but in the readjustment of the table for 1910 it will rank about 3S, and Birmingham will rank close after the Georgia metropolis-only two or three below it''

A Popular Actor

Although Frederick Warde. the actor, has been before the public many years he is yet on the sunny side of 6o.'' said an old theatregoer. "He was born in Eng land and had made quite a name for himself before, coming to this country as Edwin Booths leading man. I first saw him in 1873, when he was supporting Booth in a southern tour. Booth was then at the height of his fame and Warde was said to be about the most pronlis- ing young actor on the boards. When the latter struck out for himself he met with & cordial reception from the start. He was a great 'Virginius' and drew crowded houses whenever he appeared in that role.
 Five years ago MT Warde gave Up acting and devoted his time and talents to the lecture platform, on which he was highly successful. But the lure of the stage remained as strong as ever with him and he returns with a. new production, 'Timon of Athens which Is said to be making a great hit. Warde has long been a. student of literature and he is perhaps the best read man on the stage today"

Minnesota Mans Observations

'1n travelling through Alabama I find a good many prohibitionists, but not so many as this time last year," said Daniel business in the southern part of this state that kept me throughout last fall, and on this trip have been ir a dozen or more counties since last September. had never taken much interest in prohi- bition until I came to Alabama and was surprised to find so many men es- pousing the cause of constitutional prohi- bition a year ago. Recently in talking with quite a number of men who voted for the amendment I found all but three or four of them lukewarm. Several told me that while they voted for the amend ment they were glad 1t was beat On the other hand, I made the acquaintance of not a few who expressed themselves as ardently in favor of prohibition in their home town-usualy a small town-but in favor of high license for the cities. In short, the sentiment seems to lean more than it did to a return to local option. I asked friend in Mobile last week what the new legislature would do, and all he said was that he hoped it would modify the present drastic laws. But the opin-
 ion seems to prevail pretty generally that statewide prohibition will remain the policy of Alabama, whatever that may mean, with exceptions in favor of high license or dispensary in cities of 2O,00O population"
