For the Orphans Benefit

The annual picnic to be held to-
morrow in Germania park for the ben
eft of the orphans home at East
Lake, conducted by the Sisters of
Charity, will be an entertainment of
more than ordinary interest. The or
phanage, while classed as one of the
Catholic charities, is known to be alb
solutely non-sectaran so far as the
admission of children is concerned. The
orphanage has accommodations for
about 100 children. The July report
shows that on the first of last month
102 orphans were being cared for.
Since the home was established about
two-thirds of the children have been
nom Catholic.
The orphanage is maintained chief
w by voluntary contributions, and
the annual picnic is depended upon
for large part of the income to meet
necessary expenses. Thousands of
tickets have been printed, and as the
price is only rs cents nearly every
body can aid the good cause by buying
at least one ticket.
"Help the little ones is an appeal
that will always have generous re-

Back from, Florida


Felix NJ. Drennen has returned from
Florida, where he had gone to visit
his father. DR.. Charles Drennen, who
has been in poor health for some time.
DR.. Drennen was for many years a
citizen of Birmingham, and was one
of the most widely known and highly
esteemed men In this district. Mr..
Drennen left his father in an improved
condition.
In Florida, as In Alabama, one hears
great deal OF prosperity talk" said
Mr.. Drennen. THE country has started
on an era of unusual prosperity. The
railroads are taxed to their hauling
capacity and more; they are overtaxed.
Nearly every line of business is thirty
ing and the outlook for the future WIS
never brighter"

but I did not see much of him until a
year after his first term had expired: He
was honest in all his professions, and the
gradual extension of the civil service
rules was one of his first policies put in
practice. but It seems from reading the
letters to Mr. Burt that many who pre-
tended to believe in civil service We're
often baking the President.
Mr. Cleveland was noted as phrase
maker, but have been struck with the
absence of peculiar phrases in the letters
which appear in the Century. In writing
to Mr. Burt the President was ontspoken
and he never hesitated to call spade
spade. Knowing Mr.. Cleveland as l did
during the interim between his first and
second terms was surprised to read that
he felt the presidential office to be
great burden. While he was always the
opposite of self seeking, he was an ae-
tive candidate for the third nomination
and entered the campaign of 1892 with
wonderful vim.
ION October 49, 1856. before the first
term was half over. in writing to MT
Burt Mr.. Cleveland said You speak OF
1883 1 look forward impatiently TO tnal
period as near the time when, instead OIL
assuming further official cares, may lay
aside the burdens of this dreadful posi-
ton My daily prayer is that l may De
the means of doing some good during the
remainder of my term, and that may
save my life to bid Godspeed to my sue
ccssor.'
IN 1888 Mr. Cleveland was again nomi-
nated and without opposition. On De-
cember 6, 1888. after he had been deteat-
ed by Benjamin Harrison, he wrote to
Mr. Burt and here is one of the phrases;
My personal qualification when I con-
template my release from this killing Of
fee etc. He was discussing civil service
and In the last paragraph Of the letter he
said: And as for the people who write
such vile lies as / have noted in the
enclosed slip they ought to be horse
whipped with the rest of the mendacious
gang who come to the surface in the
disturbance of a political campaign
"Mr. Clevelands second term. which be-
gan in 1898 and ended in 1897, was uncom-
monty exacting. With the exception of
Lincoln and Johnson, no Presidents had
encountered such troublous times as Mr.,
Cleveland Yet he seemed to enjoy the
best of health, and was usually In the
best of spirits when I happened to meet
him He seemed to like the business of
being President. Hence my surprise
when I read that he looked forward inn
patiently to the time when he could lay
aside the burdens of this dreadful posi-
ton"

Tuscaloosa's New Railroad

The opening of the Tuscaloosa Min
eral is one of the important events of
the year. The Louisville and Nash
vile now runs regular trains be-
tween Birmingham and Tuscaloosa.
The new road connects with the Louis
vile and Nashville's Birmingham
Mineral at Brookwood, one of the
largest coal mining towns in the Biz
mingham district. From Brookwood
to Tuscaloosa is Is miles, and
the Louisville and Nashville line
from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa is
only so odd miles-about the same
distance as by the Alabama Great
Southern.
Until the new route was inaug-
urated Tuscaloosa had only one
transportation connection with Bir-
minpham and the north. The benefit,
therefore, that the Druid City will re-
ceive from the mineral line will be
far reaching. 1t has an important
bearing, too, on Birmingham, and the
entire mineral district is to be con-
graduated.
Tomorrow the business men of Tus-
caloosa will celebrate in formal way
the opening of the new road. The Bir-
minhagm Chamber of Commerce will
be we'll represented in Tuscaloosa, and
the festivities will become memorable
in Tuscaloosa's annals.
