GOOD FOR ALABAMA,
nc13-1nn

The Manufacturers Record, the southern , trade journal, of this week has this to say tof the Birmingham district:
 ''Mr. John H. Inman, in an interview re-. garding the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company, stated sat the present price of S6.50 per ton for iron we make about 75 cents on the ton profit This would make the cost of iron $5.75 ton. The Manu- facturers' Record recently stated, and 1t made the assertion on the best authority |, that iron was being made in the Birming- ham district at not over $6 ton. This statement is confirmed by what Mr. Inman says. The future of district which can produce iron at $5.75 and $6 ton must necessarily be one of great prosperity when ever a general revival ofindustrial interests takes place."
 In another article the Record says: "Alabama is making iron probably. at a lower cost than any other country in the world-lower even than Great Britain although, of course, there may be some one or two furnaces in Europe that are making iron at lower cost than the Alabama fur naces. As district, however, no other iron making region in the world is prob ably meeting the cost of iron in Alabama al present."

that this duenna-like parsonage is not the guarantee of propriety she once was. Therefore some young ladies have been doing without her entirely, and in one case Mrs Vanderbilt has refused to receive well-lxnown debu- tante, whose father is prominent in New York and Philadelphia financial circles, because she regularly dispenses with chaperon. The consequence is that Mrs. Vanderbilt has added to the unpopularity which she now enjoys and general protest has gone forth against duennas of all kinds. It is about settled that the New York girl will have no chaperon at all. It re- mains to be seen whether Mrs Wander bilt has force enough left to save the chaperon.

 MT. Frederic Harrison contributes the fourth article of series in The Forum, en- titled sStudies of the Great Victorian Writer'S" 'sThackeray's Place in Litera- ture.'' "The sum of all this is that in all these twenty six volumes and hundreds of men and women portrayed there is not one man or one woman having at once noble character, perfect generosity, powerful mind and lovable nature; or one man or one woman of tender heart and perfect honor but has some trait that tends to make him or her either Imaginable or tedi- .ous. Thackeray, with line and sympathetic soul, had creative imagina- tion that was far stronger on the darker and fouler sides of life than it was on the brighter and pure side of life. He saw the bright and pure side; he loved 1t, he made us love it. But his artistic genius worked with more free and consummate Zest when he painted the dark and the foul. But we may clearly assert he has enriched our literature with some classic master pieces in the comedy of contemporary manners.', PAUL PRY.

The novel in the June number of
''Tales from Town Topics" is a sprightiy
affair called "An Uuspeakable Siren"
a title that eloquently describes the
heroine of the story, Nera Mazarin, who
is strangely fascinating young society
girl of very startling characteristics.
She is a hystercal and morbid creature,
that rather repels people at first. but
who grows on one, and ends by exerting
a terrible spell, good deal after the
fashion of snake. In telling this story
the author provides many brilliant pic
lures of life in New York society, and in
his character-dlawing of modern types
is especially clever. "An Unspeakable
Siren" is accompanied by collection of
short stories, sketches, poems and with
cisms taken from the back numbers of
"Town Topics" The whole makes a
bright summer volume. Town Topics

An American Disease.

The recent death of Frank IIatton,
the well-known journalist, resulting
from paralysis incites the Kansas City
Star to comment on the growing prev.
nlence of this disease among Ameri.
cans That there is much truth in the
following cannot be gainsaid: Frank
1Iatton, the well-known journalist, is
the last to fall victim to what is
coming to be considered an American
lysis-caused generally
by an excess of mental application. So
frequent have become these cases of
the prostration of men engaged In
business or other enterprises requiring
the active use of the brain through
long hours and continuously that ex.
tinction by paralysis, sometimes ac-
companied by softening of the brain,
Is beginning to be considered a
natural death for certain classes of
working Americans. The end Is fre.
quently predicted for such some time
In advance of its arrival. Each case
where the sufferer is prominent per-
son, known to wide circle or to the
country, is made the occasion for a
warning on the part of the press
against the American passion for over
work and the need of more leisure and
relaxation in American life; but so far
no visible result has come from these
warnings, frequently written by men
Nations, like individuals, have their
sins and consequent forms of punish
