 "On the other hand. the people who ride the Tidewater line seem to have forgotten the necessity of doing this to prevent crowding. It would relieve congestion greatly. facilitate the op- eration of the cars and improve sched- ules if they would make it a point to have their fares ready

Major Frazer Banks was speaking yesterday of the convention to be held here early in April by the Alabama Educational Association. and said:
 Birmingham has an unusual opror- tunity in the. coming convention to get in touch with the people of the state. Teachers from every city and town and village will be here. all of them edu- cated refined citizens of the state, and all of them Nteach in communities smaller than this city. Many will be vividly impressed by their reception here.
 Tn their daily contact with the school children of the state theirs is wide opportunity for creating an impression in the minds of the young folks of Alabama. and many young ster will receive a lasting impression about the Magic City from what their teachers will tell when they return to the Nclassrooms.
 Because of the shortage in hotel accommodation to take care of some 5000 people. the citizens are going to be asked to accommodate the teachers for a day or two at fair price, Bir- mingham has a great opportunity to make good impression if it takes ad- vantage of it."

POST AND MANSFIELD---By Frank Willis Barnett

honorable man, beloved of all for his philanthropic labors; but Mir Hyde is positively loathsome. and from him all shrink as one deformed and foul He lives without restraint and plunges into all manner of evil The truth is that Dr. Jekyll is MT. Hyde. He has discovered potion by means of which he can change himself into MT. Hyde, and an other to effect the change back into Dr. Jekyll. It's easy to SC what chances this offerse to a real character actor.
 
 pr. Jekyll at the outset. says that he can be rid of Mir. Hyde at will. but not till MT. Hyde commits dastardly and outrageous murder Goes Dr. Jekyll prom ise to have no more to do with MT. Hyde. Even then he does not make an absolute renunciation of the past, for he still keeps the house where he. lived as MT. Hyde, as well as the clothes he still wore. Kind of like the dipsomaniac who boasts that he can leave or take whisky at will but who in the end does mere taking than leaving.
 At last he locks the door which leads into Mir. Hyde's house, and stamps the key underfoot. But it is too late. He finds himself transformed into Mir Hyde without taking the potion, and, though he takes double does of the other po- tion to keep himseff Dr. Jekyli, he often lapses. All along as Mansfield, with con summate art. was giving realistic DOT trayal of the struggle, one could see that it would end in tragedy; and so, in the last act. the physician takes his own life.
 Some hold that the stage has no lessons to teach. but any one who was privileged to witness the devils fight for the soul of Dr. Jekyll will never be able to forget to his dying day the underlying sermon in the play. which might be based on the words of Paul in Romans.

Educational Methods

Tt certainly seems great to get back to the Magic City and. while it is pretty chilly around nere. it is worse in Cleveland and the north.s said Prof. N. R. Baker who has been attending the educational convention in Cleve- land, Ohio for the past few days.
 Some of the highest authorities on educational methods and systems in the whole country were gathered in Cleveland and many things touching on all branches of school work were discussed by them. Let us hope that some of these methods will gradually find their way into the city and county systems of Birmingham and Jefferson to their betterment and advancement so that at least our section of the state will be clear of the charge of illiteracy."

l I am waiting eagerly the coming of Guy
 Bates Post, for I am anxious to know If the stage is to have another Richard
 Mansfield in the portrayal of double | characters.
 It's funny how some people have to go away from home to learn about the repu- tation of those whose fame gets added lustre by gaining recognition in foreign country I do not say that Richard Mans field was without fame before his London engagement. but I do maintain that it gave a distinct golden shade to his halo
 as an actor.
 | It used to be my custom whenever passing through London to spend my first night at Henry Irgne's theatre, the Lyceum And so some thirty years ago I dropped into, the pit to see, not the great Irving, but to me the then un- known Mansfield. It's easy to imagine my disappointment, for I was tuned up to Englands most renowned player. It's like going to church to hear noted preacher and find that he is out of the city and some minister of ordinary abil- ity is to preach in his place. This is why I enjoyed a joke my cousin, Alex Hull, got or on me in Atlanta. was to i'll the pulpit in pr. Hawthcrne's absence,

 'Tn an article somewhile back I said I believed it was Grover Cleveland who was the author of the widely quoted saying. The Way to resume is to resume.'" said Frank Willis Bar nett. "A few days after one of the Test posted men in the Rotary Club net me after lunch and remarked, Tt was not Grover Cleveland, but General Grant, who gave expression to the Thrase you quoted in your column of Men, Women and Things Shortly afterwards I received the following letter:
 Dear pr. Barnett: It was John sherman, and not Grover Cleveland, who said, The way to resume, is to resume He at the time was Secretary of the Treasury of Hayes cabinet. It was just prior to the time that he put the country on specie basis-Janu- ary 1, 1879. It was his reply to cer- tain expressed apprehension about the undertaking.

RELIGION

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A New York pastor sorrowfully de- cantc upon the decline of religion in the United States. He says 20 per cent of the pastors with the church before the war have resigned and sone into business. Of our no, 00o, ,O00 people not more than 44,ooo,oO0 attend services in any religious denomina- tion. Preachers leave their pulpits because they cannot preach to empty benches. The pastor is mistaken about the decline of religion" Feo- rle in this country never before were more truly religious in the right sense. The pastor who finds himself addressing emptv benches is a pas tor without a mission. Church attend ance is not absolutely essential to spiritual development. but 1ive-wire preacher with horse sense will never lack for a congregation. A good deal of useless pulpit timber might prove really valuable in the channels of busi- hess activity.

All Right for Underwood

Tt is all right for Senator Underwood down our way" said Alfred M. Tuns- tall of Greensboro. who was visitor to Birmingham yesterday. There is very little oposition to him in my county. Hale. and from what I can hear from the other counties in that Eart of the state believe he will get the vast majority of the votes cast in the May primaries. The people know he is able, they recognize him as one of the really great men now in Con- gress and they are not inclined to trade him off for an untried man. If the balance of the state does as well for him as Hale and the adjoining counties. he will have an overwhelm- ing majority when the returnss from the. primary election on May II are all in.'
