 The act featured the bill at the Forsyth theatre recently and was the hit of the season. As a drawing card for children it Is said to be better than a circus, or q childs act. Children "go crazy over the clever little lady and the matinees in Att laaIa were packed with young people. The night audiences were composed of grown people, who were equally well pleased.

When Ben Franklin Scored

From the Louisville Herald.
 Long after the victories of Washington over the French and English had made his name familiar to all Europe, Benja- min Franklin was guest at dinner given in honor of the French and En- glish ambassadors The ambassador from England arose and drank toast to his native land: "To England-the sun whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotest corners of the earth"
 The, French1 ambass sador, filled with his own national pride, but too polite to dispute the previous toast, offered the following: ITO France-the moon whose mild, steady, and cheering rays are the delight of all nations, consol- ing them in darkness and making their dreariness beautiful.''
 Then arose "Old Ben Franklia," and said in his slow but dignifed way: ITO George Washington-the Joshua who com manded the sun and the moon to stand still, and they obeyed him."

a novelty, and 1t is said to be out of tho ordinary In many ways.
 A smart bright team of black face com edians will complete the bill and nci- dentally this should be one of the best teams of the season. for the act Is a high priced one West and Elliott is the team name, and they will bring something new in songs, a string of jokes that haven't been heard here before and will do soma eccentric and graceful dancing
 The Orpheum is the popular meeting place of amusement lovers nightly and at the matinees. The playhouse offers the best vaudeville that Birmingham has yet known for the price. and in addition tns house Is always cool and comfortable, with plenty of ventilation and fresh air. In hot weather 1t is cooled with numerous fans.
 There is a daily matinee at the Orpheum at 2;30 and two performances every night. the first at 7:30 and the second at 9 o'clock. The second performance is rapidly becoming more popular as the summer days get longer and people dine later.

Berlin, June 15.--tSpecial)--Be a partisan of the clerieals in the old town of Frankfort cracked his fingers in the face of a socialist leader. police officer. desiring to show his impartial ity locked up the offender and haled him to court. The socialist declined to prosecute and the incident is closed.
 This recalls the amusing prosecution in which Joseph Jonnassen figured as defendant in October. 1890. Jonassen was arrested for "wicked1y, feloniously and reasonably avowing a willingness to sneeze at the German emperor" For months the case kept Europe and Amer ica in laughter. Yet in some countries the sneeze is the last accent of spiteful contempt. If while pious Hindus are praying, one of the petitions happens to sneeze the priest has to start his pe- titions all over again. For, there. the sneeze is taptamount to spontaneous curse
 Damage to the amount of sS.o0o.ooo was done by the recent fire in Damas- GUS. according to a report furnished by the German consul general The fire ragged for over two weeks and destroyed the famous bazaars which had saf-

Brigands loot ed the shops while the fire was raging and merchants who endeavored to save their property were ruthlessly slain.
 The municipal authorities of Berlin are noted for their thoroughness and scientific methods. Nothing is left un- done to make the city the cleanest and healthiest in the world. Along the principal thoroughfares what are called "dust -catchers" have been erected. These instruments are about fifteen feet high, and contain small tubular vessels, with the cover removed, in which all dust particles floating in the air collect Periodically, the vessels are removed and the contents analysed, in order to determine if any germs that may be dangerous to health are permeating the atmosphere
 The most unique library In the world is at Cassel. The books are all bound in timber, printed on wooden pages, and deals exclusively with timber The library is composed of about 500 vol umes. made from trees in the park of Wilhelmhohe. Every volume bears on tab--not in timber. but In Morocco the name of the tree from which it was obtained. There are plates of the tree in all stages of it's growth, and the let terpress Is a treatise on the cultivation and natural history of the tree.

This has been done for tho purpose of iijuring Miles Memorial college with the good white and eolored people of this district and especially with the members of the great Methodist Episcopal church. south; all for the reason that the trus- tees of Miles Memorial college did not r-eleet him president of the institu- ton. This Is in accordance with his record. Five years ago he failed of re- election as president of Lane college. Jackson, Tenn, an institution of the colored Methodist Episcopal church of which Bishop Isaac Lane is founder and treasurer. He immediately there after attacked Bishop Lane in every paper available, charging him, as he now charges me- with packing the trus- tee board against him and unlawfully using money raised for the institution and placed with Bishop Lane as treas urer He made every effort he could to kill the school His disposition is to rule or ruin. The trustees of Miles Memorial college thought 1t wise not to re-elect Rev J. A. Bray president of the institution and I think, and so must the public, that his action since his defeat has proven the wisdom of the trustees in not retaining him. copy of the affidavits heretofore made reference to follow:
