CAUGHT ON THE CURBSTONE.
Captain Bricken of Luverne, Crenshaw
county, was a visitor to Birmingham
during the past week. In attendance on
the meetings of the Press Association
of Alabama. He is one of the leading
members of the bar of that county, and
is the owner of the Democrat of that
town. He is also chairman of the dem
ocratic executive committee of the coun
ty. In conversation’ with a State Herald
man he Bald:
"Last year I was a howling Oates mart
and did all I could for the governor.
Now I am a Joe Johnston man, and am
going to do all I can to put him In the
gubernatorll chair. My brother-in-law,
Solicitor Parke, of Troy Is also for John
ttfen. He was an Oates man lasf^rear,
and along with me has had a change of
heart. Crenshaw was against Johnston
last year, but you can put it down that
It is going for him with a whoop this
time. I don't see how they can keep
him from being Alabama's next govenor
if he wants it.” And there are thousands
of men throughou* Alabama who fought
Captain Johnston two years ago who
will be for him next tlffli if he decides
to run.
Said a citizen who has a keen sense of
the ridiculous: "A few years ago there
was an accident In the yards here in
Birmingham. The engine turned over
and several men were badly Injured. A
doctor was sent for and when he arrived
there were several men lying under a
tree, all apparently badly hurt. Now it
happened that the engineer was a one
legged man and his cork leg was mashed
off. The doctor did not know this and
he looked at the fellow a moment and
remarked that his leg would have to be
cut off. Just at this time the suffering
engineer recovered consciousness and
said: "Unscrew jt. doctor, and take it
ofT.” The doctor then realized for the
flrdt time that the man only had one leg
and ills friends guy him about it to this
day."
E. O. Neely of the Guntersville Dem
ocrat is one of the best editors in Ala
bama. He is a thorough gentleman and
no man stands higher with the members
of the Alabama Press nPBOciatlon. In
conversation with a Plate Herald report
er he said: "We gold bugs up In Mar
shall are pot disposed to make a light
on Captairt Johnston this year. There Is
a very general opinion prevalent In my
county to make no fight on a delegation
for him for governor. Neither would we
make a fight to keep Oates from getting
the delegation to the legislature to vote
for him for senator. What we want In
my section of the state Is peace and a
united democracy.”
"The dispatch published In your paper
from Selma last Sunday." remarked a
west. Alabama politician, “that Bank
head was likely to be a candidate for
governor has caused the people of the
Bixth district to commence to talk. We
' have been looking around for a successor
In congress for him, and I have heard the
names of Judge Sprott and Col. A. C.
Hargrove prominently mentioned. Either
of them would make admiral congres
sional timber, and would be elected
should either decide to enter the race
and receive the democratic nomination.”
Another gentleman standing near re
marked: "I agree with you most hearti
ly about what you said of Messrs. Sprott
and Hargrove, but I am a young man's
man. I would like to see Tom Long of
Walker or E. D. Willett of Pickens suc
ceed to Bankhead's place. But. then. If
the lower counties should olalm the plum
there Is Cameron of Sumter or McQueen
of Greene, either of whom would carry
to a successful finish the battle flag of
democracy. There is plenty of young
material In Tuskaloosa, No better man
than Manly Foster lives. He is a brainy
?Foung fellow, and It 1; only a question of
lme when he will be honored by his peo
ple. His partner. W. C. Oliver. Is equal
ly as good a man. with a little more Im
petuosity than his more 6edate senior.
Again, there ts C. B. Verner of the Ga
gette. He has recently taken unto him
self a better half, and can now be fairly
said to be on the road to carving out a
name for himself. Foster Is of one of the
oldest and best families of Tuskaloo^p
county, and married a daughter of Con
{pressman Clarke. Oliver Is a son of the
aJe probate judge of Greene, while Ver
ner comes of one of the oldest and most
Sromlnent families of South Carolina.
lesldee these there are a dozen or more
Available men In the district, who would
make excellent congressional timber.”
A gold standard democrat, and an In
fluential lawyer, said:
“I am opposed to running a gold stand
ard man for the nomination for governor
for two reasons. One is that I doubt
very much whether he could be fairly
elected if nominated, and X would very
much prefer to see a silver democrat
honestly elected. Then, if our side should
concede the nomination to the silver men
we would have a much better chance to
capture a majority of the democratic
members of the legislature, tf there ts a
contest for governor every delegate
would be elected on the money question,
and wherever the silver men prevailed
they would not only take the delegates to
the state convention but everything else.
If there is no contest over the nomination
for n-nvorflnr the issues would be on sena
torial lines, and, I think, our side could
win, because both Clarke and Oates
recognized as strong and capable men,
and they have many personal friends on
the silver side, who would support them
If the issue was not made squarely on
the currency question. Then It makes
no difference what the governor's views
on the currency question are. he can do
nothing one way or another to help the
cause of free coinage.”
THINGS DRAMATIC.
No attraction at the theater can com
pete with a circus and to that fact is due
tile smallness of tne audience that wit
nessed the production of "Virginius” by
L,ouis James and his excellent company
at O'Unen s opera house last night, delis
Uros.’ circus was in town and drew sev
eral thousand, while only a few .hundred
went to the opera house.
"Virginius” has often been played in
Birmingham, but perhaps no actor has
presented it more successfully than did
Mr, James and his company lust night.
It is unfortunate that counter attrac
tions should come on the same dates
with such splendid companies as the
James combination.
A Thrilling Sensation.
"The Span of Life,” an English melo
drama that has created comment where
ever presented, comes to O'Brien’s opera
house tomorrow and Tuesday nights.
The story of the play is laid In England
and Africa, but begins on the coast of
Devonshire, and briefly is that of the
persecution of a young woman and her
lover by the woman's cousin, who de
.sires to become possessed of her fortune,
and to obtain which he stoops to all sorts
of villainy.
The action opens with unsuccessful at
tempts to bring about the ruin of the
hero, Richard Blunt, followed with un
successful attempts on h|is life. From
England the scene shifts to Africa,
where, after seven years, t.he hero and
his wife are found with a party of
friends, Blunt having located a diamond
belt. Dunstan Leech, the villain, appears
in the role of a slave dealer at the head
of a band of Arabs and succeeds In cap
turing Blunt's wife and child. Through
a piece of strategy they are released, but
are pursued by Arabs. Finding that a
bridge over a gorge has been removed,
with no other means of escape open, they
are preparing to kill themselves when
their friends from the opposite side throw
themselves across tlte gorge and form a
human bridge. It Is from this scene that
the play takes Its name.
A wild and rocky gorge in the heart of
Africa is pictured, and the breadth of
the chasm is too great to be leaped by
any but the most daring athlete. Sepa
rated from his followers the hero calls
for a time in vain, but Just as his enemies
close in upon him his men appear on the
other side. Even then rescue seems im
possible, but at the last moment a hu
man pyramid is reared on the further
side by three men who have been circus
performers. Close to the brink it stands
a moment with arms and legs entwined,
and then it wavers and falls forward,
apparently only to drop In the stream.
But no! Securely held on the other side
a living bridge Is made, over which the
heroine and her child pass in safety. The
feat seems almost dangerous. Certainly
it is a thrilling one, and a decided nov
elty, even in an age in which everything
is sought to bring about a thrilling sen
sation. It brings out tremendous ap
plause, above which could be heard the
shrill whistle the gallery god finds alone
equal "to the unbounded expression of his
feelings. Everything at last ends happi
ly, the hero escapes from the Arabs and
returns to England to confound his en
emy and rescue his wife from persecu
tion.
The play is handsomely staged. The
"Span of Life” scene is the crowning one,
but excellent in its way Is the scene out
side the light house, where Blunt, with
one arm useless, climbs up the side to
ring the fog bell Just as a big steamer
looms up through the mist and a small
boat comes with help from shore to light
the hitherto unlighted lamps.
The scenes are from the brush of Frank
Rafter and are highly artistic examples
of fine stage pictures.
“Peck's Bad Boy.**
Atkinson's Comedy company will ap
pear here Wednesday night and at spe
cial matinee Wednesday afternoon in the
musical comedy, the "New Peck's Bad
Boy,” a dramatization of the famous
had boy sketches of George W. Peck,
editor of the Milwaukee Sun. The en
tertainment Is In three acts or scenes—
the grocery store, the policeman's home
and the picnic grounds. The leading
characters are the had boy, his chtim,
his girl and his pa, the servant girl and
the doctor. As Mr. Peck says: “The coun
terpart of this boy Is located in every
village in the land.” He is wide-awake,
full of vinegar, and Is ready to crawl
under the canvass of a circus or repeat
100 verses of the Testament In Sunday
school.” An exchange saya that he is
only mischievous and has a good heart,
and is really one of the best boys in
Milwaukee. If every boy was as good
as Peck's "Bad Boy" of the stage, there
would be no bad men In the world. The
tendency of the character throughout Is
to produce a good Influence. The press
generally acknowledge that the dramat
ist has admirably illustrated Peck's
stories, sustaining a wonderful ideality
to the scenes and language of the orig
inal sketches, and the company is pro
nounced every way competent for the rat
tling fun, and the grocery store set, a
marvel of realistic effect.
National Perils.
There is an apparent lack of American
independence. We submit to things that
our fathers would have scorned to en
dure. Foreigners control our monetary
existence. Our fathers, in the days of
the revolution, barefooted and bare
backed, defied all the powers of Europe
and dictated their own financial policy.
They were thereby enabled to establish a
government of the people, the credit of
which was as good as the credit of any
nation In the world; as good as specie.
Now we are 70,000,000 strong. The coun
try is girdled with steel and bounded with
cable lines, so that avery pulsation of
sentiment is known and felt from one end
of the country to the other. Our coun
try is the grandest country God has
ever given to any people; and yet, we. the
American people, sit supinely by and suf
fer our financial policy to be mapped out
and controlled by foreigners and disbe
lievers.—Rev. H. S. 'WilHams, Presbyte
rian. Memphis, Tenn._
Money Making.
Both the wise and the foolish seek
money. It is sought for by many for
what it brings. Some seek It simply for
itself. In Egypt there was an aristocracy
of priests. In China of literature. In Eng
land of birth, but in America It ts an
aristocracy of wealth. There are some
things that even money cannot buy; but
still money enters into everything.
Money is character. The way a man
saves or spends his money reveals his
character. You may see his virtues In
money, and you may also find his vices.—
G C. Jones, Methodist, Pittsburg, Pa.

CORBETT “CHUCKS IT UP.”
He Doesn't Believe the Fight Can Be Brought
Off in Public in This
Country.
New Orleans, Oct. 12.—A special from
San Antonio. Tex., to the Dally Item,
says:
Jim Corbett has given up all hope of the
fight being pulled off at Hot Springs.
He received a lengthy telegram from
Governor Clark late last night Inform
ing him that the fight would not be per
mitted to take place In Arkansas.
“I have been convinced for some time,"
said Corbett this morning, "that it Is al
most impossible to pull the fight off In
public In this country, and that the only
way that I can get a chance at Fitz
Is to meet him at some quiet spot with
a few of the parties directly Interested.
1 am ready to go qut from here any day
afld meet Fltz In the ring and have It
out with him. I am all at sea as to
what is going to be done by the Florida
Athletic club, but I hope that something
sure and definite may be decided upon
within the next few days.”
Corbett had decided last evening to
leave here Monday for Hot Springs to do
the remainder of his training, but the
attitude of Governor Clark put a different
phase on the matter, and he will remain
here until It is known w'hat Is to be
done. It is seen that Corbett and the
other members of his party are beginning
to think that it is extremely doubtful
whether the Florida Athletic club will
be able to fulfill their promise of bring
ing off the fight at all. Brady left for
Hot Springs last night.
Hot Springs Goes Ahead.
Hot Springs, Ark., Oct, 12.—A meeting
attended by over 1000 citizens, among
whom were nearly all the representative
business men of Hot Springs, was held
here this afternoon. Among those pres
ent were Joseph H. Vendig, manager of
the Florida Athletic association. The
meeting was called to order by Mayor
W. W. Waters, who stated that the ob
ject of the meeting was business rather
than a verbal expression of opinions.
That the committee that went to Dallas
pledged a guarantee of $5000 to the club
if the contest between Corbett and Fitz
simmons should come off here. He al
luded to the stringency of the times and
the benefits to the community financially
if the fight should take place here. He
asked that the required money be sub
scribed. Capt. S. H. Stitt was elected
chairman and W. H. Mills and G. H.
Lower secretaries. A subscription head
ing was written, and written one half
hour from the time the meeting was call
ed to order the necessary amount was
subscribed and paid In. This money was
subesribed by the representative busi
ness men of the city. On Tuesday 200
laborers, carpenters, etc., will find em
ployment at Whitting park on the mam
moth amphitheater of the Florida Ath
letic club.

INCREASING PROSPERITY.

six candidates unconstitutional.
Invariably Fouiid by the Use of
. the Eleotropoise.
Suffered From the Effects of I.a Grippe
for Twelve Months—Cases That
Cannot Be Doubted.
I have thought sometime of writing
you of my experience with the Electro
poise, and my opinion of It. When I re
ceived the Electropoise, more than two
years ago, I was suffering with the ef
fects of la grippe, and had been for about
twelve months. Some of the time 1 was
in bed and quite feeble, and gradually
losing ground. 8oon after applying the
instrument I found relief, and I contin
ued to improve until I was restored, and
now I am able to do as much work as I
could three years ago. It has given me
renewed energy and has built up my sys
tem generally. I have seen it tested in
cases of typhoid and malarial fevers, and
cases of pneumonia, colic, flux, croup,
colds, la grippe. Indigestion and rheuma
tism, w'here not a dose of medicine was
given, and have never failed In one sin
gle case, while some of them the doctors
Had abandoned, saying they could do
them no more good. We npplied the
Elbctropoise and from the beginning
they began to improve.
These are cases that cannot be doubted
and speak well for the Electropoise, as
there are plenty of witnesses to testify.
I have all faith in the Electropoise, and
all my family use it on all occasions, and
invariably find relief. I am yours, with
kind regards,
