THE STRIKE IS ABOUT SETTLED.

THE STRIKE IS ABOUT SETTLED.
 The AGE-HERATD has more good and cheering news for it's readers this morning. The miners strike is settling, ,and it will be years to come before there will be any further differences between miners and operators in this section. The basis of ad- justment is declared to be just, fair and equitable to all parties concerned. Both sides made concessions; both dealt squarely, and both will receive loud ap- plause and expressions of gratitude from a community which has experienced great depression by the differences which have existed between capital and labor since April last. We have passed through a dull and depressed season; through a season of disorder and excitement; but all is we'll now. The past is forgiven by both, and this morning capi- tai and labor join hands; and inspired by the work of Congress re-enter the work of building up, developing and enriching the great mineral section of Alabama. Hurrah for the miners, the operators, and all the people! Now for season of order, peace, prosperity and plenty

INDIGNANT DEMOCRATS.

To the Age-Herald:
 The following letter from a prominent citizen and good democrat Of Blount county is one of many of like tenor that l am re- ceiving from different portions of this (the Ninth) congressional distrctsin reference to the late unjust action of the congressional committee, and which show that the people do not indorse the committee's action in seeking to deprive Jefferson county of her rightful representation in the party coun- cils.

TEE peculiarly modern maneuvers of the House of Representatives on Monday in taking action upon the tariff question, to- gether with the oppressive heat aud the startling result upon the general system of Congress doing something, so befuddled the AGE HERALD's headliner as to make him uncertain where he was "at;' and he was led to the conclusion that the pas sage of the little extraordinary 'free bills'' by the House really meant that we were to have free coal, iron ore, barbed wire and sugar, which, upon further read ing, will be discovered to be among the present impossibilities.

The Cost of Firing the Thirteen nch u


The cost of each pound of %projectile
is Is cents, which makes each one fired
represent $207. The powder costs 33
cents apound, or 1871. so for the charge.
Bags in which it is incased, fuses, ETC.,
bring the cost OF each shot up to $500.
The expense of each shot makes it ex-
ceedingly desirable that each n hits
the target it is sent at.
There are other remarkable features
about this leviathan besides the projec-
tile. Powder such as no one ever
dreamed of 10 years ago is used. It is
technically known az brown prismatic
and takes the latter term from the pecu-
liar shape of the grain. Each grain is
probably az inches high and 2 in width
and is prismatic in form, with a small
hole through the center. Eleven of these
grains make n pound. Each grain
would make several rounds for an ordi-
nary fowling piece. The extent of the
charge necessitates its being placed in
four parts, each part also prismatic.

HindOO Grades.

The four grades Of society among the
Hindoos are the Brahmans, Or sacerdotal
class, who are said at the moment of
creation to have issued from the mouth
of Brahma; the Kshatrya, or CErttsee,
or military class, sprung from the arm
of Brahma: the Vaisya, or Eais, or
mercantile class, from the thigh of
Brahma, ard Sudrss, Or Sooders, or serv-
lie class, from the foot of Brahma.
The business of the Sudras is to serve
the three superior classes, mere espe-
cially the Brahmana Their condition is
never to be improved; they are not to
accumulate property and are unable by
any means to approach the dignity Of
the higher classes. These divisions are
hereditary, impossible and indefeasible.

and hat a soiled proof sheet or an old

he was sitting in his room mcditatins

confined within a narrow brick stove,

A person who came to inquire for
him was introduced, and after the first
greetings were over the visitor was re-
quested to take a seat. Thereupon Mr..
Guy lighted a farthing dip which lay
on the table beside him and inquired the
object Of the gentleman's visit. Il have

sir, are better versed in the prudent and
necessary art of saving than any man

Addressing Envelopes.

Anew notion somewhat in practice is
to address and stamp envelopes on the
back. With the address written across
the folds it can readily be seen that any
tampering with the contents of the en-
velope could be detected. Now, if like
the electric burglar mat, which e. BE-
ing stepped upon not only sets all the
bells in the house a-ringing, but also ex-
poses the negative and takes a tiashlight
picture of the rascal, identity could also
be coupled with knowledge in the case
of the letter opener, absolute safety j.
the transmission of mail missives would
be secured. New York Times.

keeping ever invented will not account

certain to lose track of half a dozen. I
never look upon them bottles all again.
Never again, sir! The mills are 8 cents
and the bottles are s cents. But the peo-
pei who would scorn to steal milk Will
keep the bottles. They think bottles
don't cost nothing, Or they don't think
nothing at all.
Some time ago a lady was behind
about seven bottles and hadn't returned
any for a week. I know some people
get two or three days behind with their
empties, but l couldn't account for all
of these. While Twas thinking about it
and look over across toward her fat l
saw her maid chuck an empty out Of
the kitchen winder into the lot. AND,
don't you know, l went over there and
found a whole pile of broken bottles
and two or three whole ones. They
didn't know any better. Now, there
was a lady in the other day, and I says,
'Ma'am, says 1, I've got you charged
with five bottles here
"'What's that" says she. I haven't
got any of your old bottles. You don't
suppose I'd steal milk bottles, do you?
When 1 get to stealing, I'll take some
thing better'n old castoff milk bottles.
I don't like your milk anyhow. It's
more'n half water, and I'm going to
change

good customer by the mere mention Of

things in the bottles. You can't go and
search for them. You must take their
word for it that they amt got hone.
They are supposed to return theil
empties the next day, and they'll keel
them for q week. I'd have to have
carload of extra bottles to suit them.
Some of them just slap on their empties
when the dumbwaiter comes their way,
and some other mil1man goes off will
them. They don't care. And then
when you call up for their empties
they get mad as hops and swear the,
sent them down-which perhaps the,
did, but not to us.

A 81 900 Ante In q Senatorial Game Was

Too Rich Tor His Blood.
A group of ~millionaires were playing
what was probably the %stifTest game of
poker ever played in the United States.
1t was at Chamberlin's, in Washing
ton, in the winter of 1889 and 1890.
The exact list of the players will never
be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col
orado and Ex-Governor Hauser of Mon
tana were in it, and Senator Farwell of
Chicago was i'll the room.
About midnight a swell drummer for
a Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator Farwell. The senator went
down to see him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going on.
He introduced him to the other players.
Have You any objection to my play

have no objection, but-er-vell, YOU
see, the game is pretty steep"
"Ha, hal" laughed the drummer.
'That is the kind of a game like"
Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that
if he could stand it the rest of the
crowd had no objection. With a wink
at Senator Farwell, the drummer sat
down, pulled out a "wad," peeled off
a 81, 600 bill and said to Governor Hau-
ser, who was dealing:
GIVE me some chips!"
Then he looked around the table, as
much as to say:

a smile and remarked:
