LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS. A Proposition Submitted to the Manufacturing Committee OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB Twenty Thousand Dollars Of- fered Toward Building a
 Cotton Mill.
OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

The cotton mill is go, and it means much to Birmingham in more ways than one.
 The will mill be built with local capital, and will be managed by local people.
 Yesterday afternoon the manufacturing committee of the Commercial club held well-attended meeting, and one of the most important features was the matter of the cotton mill.
 MT. B. B. Conner appeared before the committee and explained in detail his plans for this new enterprise. He is ready to put in S10, 900, and stated that he had some friends who would pay in another S10, GOO. This makes large per cent of the capital that will have 10 be paid in.
 The directors will hold a meeting Friday, when the cotton mill matter will take working shape.
 Another matter which was brought be- fore the committee was an opposition to the Sloss Iron and Steel company furnaces and the Birmingham Rolling mill being taken out of the city. The committee re- quested the board of directors to oppose the bill pending before the legislature to ex- empt these industries from city tax.
 Some other matters were also discussed.
 The committee on legislation will meet this afternoon at o'clock.

THE orange growers of Florida complain That tho weather bureau did not send them warEing of the cold wave, and hence they could not guard against 1t. But what could they-have done? Probably they in- tended to build fires around the orange groves and thus ward off the cold. This is an expensive and intellectual method. The orange growers should leave the cold and inclement climate of Florida and come up here to Jones' valley and grow their golden fruit. Here the perpetual fires of the furnaces and the continual gloW. of the batteries of coke ovens form an effectual cordon against tho piercing darts of Prince Frost, and against the glistening spears of his no less renowned and redoubtable father, King Ice. Come up and abide with us, ye frozen Floridiaus, and receive a warm welcome.

BEATRICE HARRADEN gave the disagree able man dog in the beginning of her story, but let the dog drop out after his first appearance. It wouldn't be true to nature for a disagreeable man to have a dog. If he was disagreeable to the dog the dog would leave him. Some people will en- dure disagreeable men, but dog, never. A dog has too much independence. It is sure sign that a man has kindly spirit if his dog loves him.

made next Sunday and the route will be
opened under the new order of things for
public traffic on the following day.
Twenty of the latest vestbuled cars
have been ordered for the route, ten of
re.t will arrive during the week. These
cars are IN general appearance not unlike
those used on the University line, the
difference being that they are of the most
modern contrivance. Unlike the cars OF
the Traction company, the motorneer is
fully protected from the elements, and
the steps are not constructed to compel
ladder to secure entrance.
1t will be some little time yet before the
Grand avenue and East Los Angeles line
is electrcized. As soon as that is done,
will be abandoned. The Central avenue
house will furnish power for the whole
OF the company's system.
The possibility of the cable rope not
holding out through the winter months
had great deal to co with fastening
the electricizing of the two Los Angeles
Railway company lines still being ope-
rated by other power. The rope at pres
ent in use has lately had to be patched so
as not to discommode public travel. A
new one was mperatively needed and
the cost OF transforming the two cable
branches into electric lines would not be
greater than the cost of new one.

And Thereby Hopes to Find a
Missing Friend
THE MINISTER OF WAR
Writes by Order of the Emperor to
Les Angeles Hebrew
An Incident Which Shows some Russian
Traits OF Government-How Ten
Are Recorded

A wealthy citizen of the Hebrew race
Swing at the present time in Los Angeles
had lost all track OF near relative, who.
nearly fifty years ago, had entered the
Russian army.
All enquiries from private persons re-
manned iruitless. and many letters re-
ceived even no answer. The only way to
obtainreliable Information, VIZ, by pc
tIticn to the tar. wa, barred by the abil-
ity OF the gentlt man to compose such a
document in the language Of his form r
home.
By chance be spoke about the affair to
Mr.. Israel Shuman OF 423 Commercial
street. of this city, who undertook the
certainly difficult task. Even in Russia
men of the unofficial populace who can
write such paper are very rare and are
well paid for their trouble.
Mr.. Shulman lives in very moderate
circumstances, making scanty living by
selling kosher" sausages to his brethren
in faith, killing fowls and perfor mil G
other duties, which require thorough
knowledge of the Mosaic law observed by
the orthodox Hebrews. By his appear
ance one would take him to be the last
man having the ability to overcome such
a difficult task as the writing Of proper
petition to the tar undoubtedly is, the
rules OF bureaucratic style being the IN ost
stringent possible.
One must be thoroughly informed in
the Official language and be an excellent
penman to succeed in writing docume emit
which would pass the crIticising eyes OF a
dozen fault-fnding individuals and steer
clear from the waste basket before reach
ing its destination.
Mr.. Shulman was successful in over
coming all these obstacles, 10 ade especially
hard, as the petition was from a Hebrew
asking for Information about one, the
anti-semitic tendencies of the ruling pow
ers in Russia being well known.
His majesty ordered the matter to be
put before the war department, and after
lon: waiting, came at last through the
Russian consulate Of San Francisco full
account of the lost mans movements in
the army.
The document reads in translation as
follows:
Ministry of the War, Head Staff, Gen.
eral Records.
Ey order of his majesty, H Fin an
swe to ms petition OF June 9th, 1894, is
hereby informed that NJ. Sh. F. was
taken as recruit on the 1st day of Sep
tenn Der, 1s49 in the city of Warsaw, at
the given time 10 years old, unmarried. a
native of the city OF Warsaw, born from
Jewish parents.
He was entered in the service as master
Of the 4th cast AMI enlisted in the ID
marine squad of the Attn working equip
age. On the 18th day of February. 1857,
he was transferred to the garrison of St.
Petersburg, to be sent for service in foot
regiment. To which regiment he was
ordered the general records do mt show.
PERISH RINSh
Chief OF General Records.
After the ice is once broken it is but an
easy matter to trace the movements of
the lost man. Mr.. Shuiman has directed
now letter of inquiry to the ONCE of the
garrison of St. Petersburg, and will con-

tinue to follow the correspondents up.
until he has the whole history OF the lost
man, as even his death must Ue recorded
with the chief rabbi Of Russia.
Hardly in any country in the world
is 1t possible to trace a man with such an
accuracy as in Russia, due to the stri g.
ent laws pertaining to Papers of identiti-
cation, registry OF BIRTH death and mar
riage.
This little incident shows alsu that the
anti-semitic tendencies of the tar are ia r
overdrawn by so.called well informed
persons and papers. and that many man
in this country and this city is wearing
a threadbare coat and is living in penury
because unfortunately he has received an
education which fits him to position
for which there is no demand here.
