One rainy night the conductor, who was
then serving a term as leader of a band
at nearby summer resort, came across
the dog. which was trying frantlcally to

was in itself a monumental achievement

This may be one of the illusions Of the
dance The idea was suggested by one
of the masters of ceremonies.
Darkness came on and the afternoon
tango teaists departed home for dinner.
And by o'clock, when the more fash

their dinners, an entirely new crop OF
dancers appeared. They were the visit

In the huge hall where the observer
first entered there must have been $50
people, and the dancing was only Just
beginning. The floor resounded with the
sliding. scraping sound of many feet, and
the gyrations of the couples were like the
flashes Of giant kaleidoscope. The band
"a band this time, and not the orchestra
of the tearoom-was whooping things up
in way that would have cheered the

there is never a particle of trouble. The

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
 1S74-1901
No. 143-A Series of Protests Joseph F. Johnston, Governor

The legislature responded to the gov ernors summons and assembled in spe- cial session May ?. 1899.
 The governor sent an elaborate mes- sage. He explained that the avowed ob. iect of the enabling act was to present to the voters of the state, for the approval of all political parties, the occasion of framing a new organic law.
 The primaries that were called to choose delegates to the proposed constitutional convention had taken the voters by sur prise. Only in four or five counties had any marked interest in the voting been manifested. In the whole state not ex- ceeding a0,oo0 democrats had voted at those primaries.
 Preliminary to the choice of delegates by the primaries, the democratic state committee held a meeting at Montgom- cry and announced the movement author ized by the enabling act to be a demo- cratic party movement That announce ment was equivalent to a nullifieation of the enabling act.
 The state party committee on January q ordered 8 state party convention to assemble in the capitol on January %. The state party convention adopted the shibboleth of the state committed that the movement to frame a new consttu- tion should degenerate to a party policy.
 There were 150.000 democrats in Ala bama. The state democratic committee consisted of 34 members Eighteen only of these had reversed the meaning of blfup arf of he \ candidates for seats in the proposed con stitutional convention and "could not have sat on jury where 50 was involved" because of interest in the election.
 The press and the politicians had been 50 consumed 'in pouring out. the vials of their wrath, in shameful denunciation of all who oppose their ideas, that the kind of constitution we are to get may be better imagined than described.
 The governor said that after the bosses had nullifed the enabling act, which con templated the people of the state in sov- ereign convention assembled, and had con verted the mea asure into a party machine, they had announced that the main ques- tion to be considered by their constitu- tional convention was reform of the suf- frage to eliminate the negro
 To this he would have the legislature answer: White supremacy is as complete and all-prevailing today, throughout the jurisdiction and domain of our state as it is possible to be. There Is not negro in all the commonwealth holding an office under the present constitution; not jus tice of the peace, not a constable, nor single member of the general assembly, nor has been for nearly a generation"
 The black belt had full representation in the legislature but all were the best class of white men. Most of them,' the governor said, 'received every vote cast in their respective counties and dis tricts and have the respect and confidence of their constituents. white and black
 In answer to this the opposition quoted Senator Morgan, to-wit: "I have never censured those persons, if there are such. who resorted to illegal methods to pre-

At the Lyric

Possibly the strongest bill since the opening of the Lyric theatre Is this week S offering at the popular playhouse. It is truly all star vaudeville for every num- Der pleased the capacity audience last night and each had to respond to re- peated encores. That Birmingham ap- precates high class music was evidenced by the enthusiastic reception accorded the Salon Singers, quartet of talented vocalists who rendered operatic and other classic selections. The rendition of Liszt' s second Hungarian Rhapsodie by the ac- oompanist was a feature of the act. The programme included Carmen" by the quartet; "A Little Love, A Little Kiss" by Miss Matzeno, soprano; "On the Road 10 Mandalay" by Mir. Bailey, baritone; 70. Promise Me- by Miss Baxter, con tralto; "Then You'll Remember Me- by MT. Saner, tenor, and the famous quartet from Rigoletto.
 1t was undoubtedly the finest singing number that has ever been presented to a Birmingham audience from the vaudeville stage.
 The marvellous tricks and feats of strength of the Manchurians, five Chinese acrobats, are simply astounding and dis counts the usual theory that the celestials are inferior in strength and skill to east ern people. They perform acrobatic feats that- are new and novel. It is without question one of the greatest Chinese acts of the world
 Very clever and pleasing number is that of Parillo and F'robito two sweet voiced singers of sunny Italy. who play their own accompaniments. Ben Ryan and Harriette Lee are a .rioti' in every sense of the word. Both are versatile and clever and then is one of the strong numbers on the bill.
 Ali Holt presents a quantity of quality conversation mingled with mimicry that is highly divertng and fairly carried the audience off it's feet.
 One of the most soriginal and 'up-to- now sketches is "A Corner in Wire less" presented by Dan Bruce and Margo Duffet company. It Is a wholesome little comedy and very ably presented. The scenic effects are very striking and clever.

 It appears 1t was only due to the warning of an Italian captain that more British steamers did not fall into the hands of the Emden. It is supposed that British warships are searching for the German cruisers which have been free in the different oceans but which have succeeded in keeping out of the way of their enemies.

vent the corruption of the ballot by the negro vote, controlled by their political masters, but have defended them in the courts. without fee or reward I have deplored the necessity. I still deplore it and have all the time hoped for and worked for a less demoralzing plan of getting rid of negro suffrage.
 The constitution of the state did not get rid of the right of the negro to vote but as the governor forcibly said the negro was not a recognized element in the politics of the state. The mat ter before the public was to arrest the demoralization inherent In such a situa- ton.
 Governor Johnston did not contradict the Morgan view. The message said: sThe franchise can be settled with less friction and more certainty and security by a plain amendment that the people can understand and vote upon intelligent ly than by the framing of a new con- stitution."
 One democratic state convention had or dered the notification of the enabling act to the eNent of requiring all demo- crats to vote convention" Another act of notification of the statute law was in store, when a second party conven- ton should order all democrats to vote to ratify the work of the convention, let it be what 1t might.
 The message showed that under the ex- isting constitution the enormous state debt had been cut down two-thirds; that there was a homestead exemption to shel- ter every family in the state that there could be no state religion; that trial by jury was secured
 Under this constitution Alabama had waxed strong. Under it's fostering care population of one million had increased to two million. In 1875 when that consti- tuition took effect the assessed values of the state were s135 ,000,0 GOO; now they were $256, ,000O00 In 1875 railroad mileage was 1793, but now it was 4000. The credit of the state on the markets was higher than at any time in its history.
 The governor could find no superior claim in a constitutional convention com posed of 133 delegates over the legisla- ture composed of 133 members, to ability to amend and revise a constitution. For these and other reasons, he would have the legislature to submit to the people amendments considered useful and he would have enacted by this special ses- sion a primary election law, the better to secure the inviolability of elections on all subjects and for all purposes.
 In anticipation of the meeting of the legislature, the opponents of the policy of the governor had arranged for a mass meeting to assemble in the Montgomery theatre the same night May 2. A large part of the great audience were friends of the governor. The orators on the oc- casion were the two senators, Messrs. Morgan and Pettus, ex-Governor Oates, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court Somer- vile and Representative In Congress W. H. Denson. a noted constitutional lawyer
 The speakers all took ground that the legislature could not recall an act which comprised a feature in the process of amending the constitution
 The legislature invited both federal sen ators to address the body in joint session next day. Senator Pettus complied but Morgan, being en route to the far west, did not delay.
