all over the state, who feel profound in- terest in her marriage.
 The marriage of Mise Ettie Harris and MT. Thomas Albert Seals at the First Methodist church yesterday afternoon was a beautiful and impressive one. The large church was filled with the many friends of the happy couple. At the appointed time, 2:45, the bridal party reached the altar and Rev. Dr. J. c. Morris performed the ceremony which united them for life. Miss Mccoy presided at the organ, playing the wedding march as the party approached the altar and some beautiful melody during the service. The bride wore handsome dark blue toilette with pink vest, hat to match, and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The maid of honor, Miss Lutie Harris, sister of the bride, wore stylish suit in soft shades of red. The groom 8 best man was his brother, MT. Claude Seals. After the ceremony the bridal party went immediately to the depot and left ousthe Louisville and Nashville train for New Orleans. They will visit Allan ia and Marietta before returning to Birming- ham. They will reside with Miss Mary Ware, aunt of the fair bride, upon their return from their bridal trip.
 The Young Mems Hebrew association journal for the month of January was read before the association on Sunday last, and was no exception to the merit of it's prede- cessors. The association and the ladies' auxiliary thereof certainly deserve the praise they receive for maintaining tn is very interesting factor to their success and amusement. There were a number of strangers present at the last reading, among them the representative of the Cin- cinnati Israelte, and he gives our Jewish young people of Birmingham credit for talent secoLd to none in the entire south. The next number of tn s interesting paper will be forthcoming in February, and being in the hands of the president of the auxil iary society and Rabbi Marx, indicates much to it's ethical tendency.
 The paper is called "Our Thoughts its contributors members of the Young Men s Hebrew association end the ladies' auxiliary, and at it's monthly reading only the members of these two socie- ties and their out of-t town friends are pres- ent. It is valuable adjunct to the mem bership committee, as any one wishing to be present must become a member of the association.
 An interesting contribution to tour Thoughts' last week was entitled tour Visitors, '' there being number of them in the city at present, and the subject of "Our Home Girls' is to be reply thereto in the next issue. It is hoped the editress will give the topic to a humorous writer rather than one of serious proclivities.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-3now storms are still raging on the line ofhthe Central Pacific railroad between lsson and Dunsm uir, with no signs o/ abatement. Three hundred men are employed to clear the track, assisted by powerful rotary blows, but they make little or no progress. Another avalanche has occurred at Soda Springs, and the work of clearing the track there has for a time been abandoned. Napa City is inundated and neither trains nor boats can reach there today. The towns of Woodland and Tehama are flooded and trains have stopped running to those places. Yreka is cut off from the outside world. A large force of men has left this city for Dunsmuir with steam force pumps to sluce off the tracks. The town of Guerneville, Sonoma county, is more than half under water and com mmuni- cation by telephone is cut off. Over dozen families had to flee to the uplands, saving nothing but their lives. It is reported that number of bridges are down in the northern part of Sonoma county and rail- way travel completely interrupted.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

"Friends' was presented last night at O'Brien's by the original company, and a large, representative and critical audience was well pleased. The very name itself won the friendship and attach nent of those who witnessed it, to say nothing of the artistic manner of production.
 The story has plot that is simple, but pure and elevating, and the lesson it ieaches is one that cannot be better taught by sermons from any pulpit. It tells a beautiful story of friendship that is per- fectly true to life of today, and one that carries more truth than the lines of the play. In carrying this it displays most vividly th at only affection between the miserable mortals of this creation makes life worth the living.
 The play is a comedy drama, to which is added just enough melodrama to make it strong and attractive.
 The plot deals principally with two characters-one poor, but am bilious pian- father because of his persistence in writing sentimental poetry. These two ambitious young men have but one suit between them and for awhile their lot is hard one. Finally merit and persistence reaps re- ward and they are thrown in better cir cumstances. Both love the same woman. Each feeis that he ought to win her, but thinks he owes it to his friend to pave the road to success. Finally one sacrifices all for the other and the story is told.
 MT. Edwin Milton Royle as John Paden ,, Jr., a modern poet disnherited, displayed the splendid talent he possesses and in such a manner as to make the audience ap- preciate it.
 Lucius Henderson as Adrian Karje, an ambitious pianist, was very clever, consid- ering the circumstances under which he labored.
 Miss Selena Fetter Royle was, as usual, excellent. The other support is of high class and adds much to the success of the cnmnanV.

hern and Western examples:

Here it appears that while Birmingham pays municipal tax of 50 cents upon 40 per cent, Peoria, Ill.,, pays approximately twelve times as much uponapproximatel one hird of 4o per cent. In this list of tax payers Birmingham is far below the aver age as a self-supporter, and the list might be indefinitely heightened with the same comment.
 We are entitled to the legitimate powers of municipal self government. The less we are restrained by the State in pursuit of our destiny the more the State will profit by us in a material and social way.
 We don't see the policy of taxing arbi- trarily the industries that come here to multiply trade and population. Let the city within it's own intelligence and it's own purposes and prospects determine that matter. It is a pivotal point. The city cannot play the part it should toward the coal fields and Red mountain, and the cot ton fields and the truck farms, orchards and vineyards, unless 1t has power to gov. ern itself in it's sources of revenue.

 TWENTY years ago the Chinese bought largely of American cotton colored cloths, but in recent years they have transferred their purchases to the plain or uncolored cloths. It is to supply them with this plain uncolored cloth that the New England mills are coming South. This commerce represents about 51 ,000, 900 yards year, of q value of g, 700, 900. It is small, however, when compared with the capacity of the Chinese market, for Great Britain has sent in single year 570, GOO, 900 yards, and found a market for every piece. This market for American cottons would seem to be almost unlimited. When the New England mills locate in the South and reap all the advantages the location will give them they will run the English out of the Chinese market. If the Nicaragua canal was completed they would have opptheI great advantage.

 THE Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph con- tains the following item of interest to the Birmingham district: Capt. w. B. Rodgers, superintendent of Gray's Iron Line, will in the near future send South one of the largest trips of manufactured iron that has ever been sent out of this port at single shipma ant. The Ironsides and Iron Age will handle the cargo between here and Louisville, and the Iron Age will deliver the tow from there to various points in the South. The tow will consist of six teen 10 eighteen barges heavily loaded, and the cargo will consist chiefly of rail- road iron. The shipments of iron by river this winter have been very large, and this is taken as a good indication that the times are improving.
