THEY WANT PAY
For Serving Their Country, But Some Members Don't Think
 It Best.

LONDON, March 22.-William Allan, radical commoner for Gateshead, moved this evening in the house of commons that members receive payment for their ser vices. He reminded the house that simi- lar resolution was passed in the session of 1893 with the governments approval, al- though no subsequent action had been taken. The country would not object to the small additional tax necessary to cover men bers' salaries.
 Sir H. Stafford Northcot, conservative for Exeter, offered an amendment to the effect that further burdens should not be imposed on the nation.
 Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, said the payment of members was the logical outcome of the extension of the suffrage. The house was now too much of one class. He repudialed tue suggestion that the payment of members would lead to corruption aud the election of unfit men. Democracy might be trusted to prevent such evils. The proposal was wise and expedient and it's execution would conduce to the honor of the house. He promised to advance 1t in every way possi- ble.
 MT. Goschen opposed the motion. He was proud to be acquainted with the gen. uine labor members now in the house, he said, and be would withdraw it, but the payment of members would lower the status of parliament and taint the purity of public life without increasing the number of workingmen in the commons.
 Sir H. Stafford Northcot's amendment was lost, and MT. Allan's motion was passed by vote of 176 to 16S.

pos sibility of finding it. Birmingham is all right. Our people were only little in-. discreet in not grasping the opportunity last year of securing constitutional right to tax themselves for the support of the several departments of their city govern ment. It's only little inconvenience we are going to suffer, and a wise and active city administration will pull us through in good shape after a brief season.

SPIRITED SPAIN.

General Campos has issued @ pronuncia- mento declaring that if the Spanish editors again publish anything derogatory to the army they will be shot. That's the true Spanish spirit-always ready for an appeal to arms. Spain's forte is fighting. The Spaniard will fight anything from bull to a buzz-saw. At one time Spanish arms ruled the world. History does not relate quest of Mexico by Cortoz and of Peru by PiZzaro. Napoleon never did conquer Spain. By intrigue and treachery he pre- vailed on Charles " to abdicate the throne of Spain iu favor of Joseph Bonaparte. When the Spanish people heard of this treachery they revolted. They preferred Bourbon to Bonaparte. Although they knew that their country would be gov. erned much more liberally by Bonaparte than by Charles they refused to accept the change. They were welded to their idols. When Joseph entered Madrid he was so harassed that he was soon forced to flee. His army was cut to pieces. Napoleon himself undertook to conquer the rebelious Spaniards. He eu- tered the Peninsular with an army of vet eraus. Every Spaniard had turned soldier, and, hidden by rocks and trees, they shot down the French veterans one by one. Ma poleon laid siege to the city of Saragossa. The inhabitants barricaded their houses and refused to surrender. The French saw they would have to blow up the town inch by inch. As house after house was blown down those who escaped the wreck would rally around the debris and fight until slain. Never before had Napoleon found such passion of patriotism. Neither force, nor diplomacy, nor threats could conquer such a people. He was finally called back to Paris, leaving the Spauards unconQuered.

MANY people think that there is but one kind of steel,'' said an analytical chemist, 'whereas there are several kinds. The Bessemer steel is made from pure grades of cast iron, melted in cupolas, run into converters, and blown with air to remove the slag. This is called con- verted steel. The open heart steel, which will be made in Birmingham, is so-called from the form of the furnace it is made in. It is composed of fine grades of cast iron, steel scrap, and sometimes wrought iron is added. This mixture is put to high heat for several hours to remove the slag; it is then treated with manganese and car bon mixtures to the desired temper, and poured into ingot moulds, and rolled into bars'

HE Massachusetts Legislative Commit tee urge as objections to cotton manufac. turing in the South only such obstacles as can easily be removed. They speak of the lack of fine machinery, skilled labor and the want of capital. These objections can easily be removed. The best machinery can be shipped here in a weeks time, just as it has been shipped to the furnaces and foundries of the Birmingham district. Skilled labor will readily come, just as it has come to build and operate our iron in- dustries. Capital will flow South in tor rent just as soon as 1t has been proven profgable-and in fact there is good deal of capital in the South already. The com mittee does not mention the lack of raw material, of cheap coal, of genial climate and other things which could not be sup. piled if we did not already possess them.

INCOMPATIBILITY
Caused the Separation Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Burnett.


Strong minded men and women do
not, asa rule, get along very well to.
gether, unless they are specially
adapted to each other.
The latest end most notable instance
OF the incompatibility OF talent is that
OF the popular author, Mrs. Burnett,
and ber talented husband, DIR. Burnett,
of Washington city. There is no scan
dal attached to their separation OF bed
and board, but they could not live
comfortably in the same house. She
had, to certain extent, made him
what he is, When they were married
he was just starting in the practice Of
medicine down in Tennessee, and
wasn't doing very thriving business.
Having talent for writing she un-
dertook to contribute 10 their bank
account, Her first pretentious effort,
Little Lord Fauntleroy," yielded a
golden harvest, which enabled DIR.
Burnett to give all his time to the
study Of the eye and its disorders.
Now he is an authority on this subject
and the author Of standard work or
two on it.
There was no fighting or fussing be-
tween them, but each lelt independent
OF the other, and that destroyed the
conjvgal feeling so essential to domes-
tic comfort and happine Pittsburg
