the unique tower of iron and glass that
is now in course of construction. It is
over $50 feet in height and is designed
to represent the shape of the old tree.
The foundation shows the iron roots
gnarled and knotted and protruding
from the soil.
Bridges across the basin lead to hall
60 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, the
walls of WHICH are the iron trunk of the
great artificial tree. Above is another
roof 40 feet in diameter and surrounded
by graceful gallery adorned with the
arms of the Basque provinces. From the
top of this room the tapering trunk of
the tree rises 100 feet into the air and
is enoircled again and again by stair
way embiematio of the ivy clinging to
she oak. AT the very top is dome rep
resenting the crown Of the old tree and
containing ii gallery. The dome is sur
mounted Ey an categorical statue, and
M the iron branches are electric lights.

HAZARDOUS UNDERTAKING.
Captain Slocum to Go Around the
World in q SlOop.

Captain Josh Slocum is having
built at New Bedford, Mass, a
sloop called Spray, in which he in
tends going AROUND the world. The
s1oop is constructed of white oak
timber and Southern pine plank
ing fastened with screw bolts, CT
which there are 1000 altogether.
She is forty feet long, fourteen feet
beam and Of thirteen tons burden.
Captain Slocum says there is
nothing foolhardy in a trip around
the world in such craft.
IF be can make satisfactory ar
rangements in New York, Captain
Slocum will cross the Isthmus of
Panama otherwise he will proceed
to the straits of Magellan, thence on
the South Pacific trade winds
through the Indian ocean to the
Red Sea. Through the Suez canal
and the Mediterranean, he will
strike for the Bermudas, then
home. He figures that he will be
away about two years. On the
long stretches he will be alone. He
will collect any valuables that
cross his path. He has a good eye
out for war clubs and other valua-
BILE curios of the South Sea island
ers. He hopes to find in the Gil
bert group FIVE. natives, the sur
vivors of party of twelve he res
cued in mid-ocean when captain of
the Northern Lights. That was
twelve years ago, and they will be
very glad to see him. They now
live in the kingdom of Buckaroo-
roo, which name is not to be found
in the biographies.
Captain Slocum will stop at Ho-
nolulu on his voyage to the South
Seas. He was in the China-Japan
trade for a number of years, and
often put into this port.
The captain is making this voy-
age principally for the object of
making money by correspondence.
He has already closed bargains
with the New York Sun, Louisville
Courier-J Journal and other news
papers.

High and Is One of SPANS Oddities.
One Of the most interesting architec-

capital of the Basque province Of Biscay.
The province is populated by a rugged
race the descendants of the Visigoths.

Italy and Spain. For many centuries
they fought the Spaniards, but in time

ARE COMPANIONS FOR LIFE.
D. w. Corbett and Miss May
Waterhouse Man and Wife.
Only a Few Invited Guests in Attend
Many Valuable Presents.

The marriage of Miss May Water.
house and D. w. Corbett was
solemnized at the residence of the
brides father, Senator Henry
Waterhouse, at $50 o'clock last
night in the presence of over one
hundred guests. Rev. H. W.
Peck, assisted by Rev. DR.. Brine,
performed the ceremony.
While Mrs. A. F. Judd played
Mendelssohn's wedding march, the
bridal procession marched into the
room. In front were Master Albert
and Miss Elsie Warehouse; next
came Misses Mary and Anna Rice,
followed by the bride and groom.
The reception which followed
was very pleasant, the residence
being thrown open to the guests.
Refreshments were served in the
dining room.
The boys branch of the Y. M. G.
A., over which Mr.. Corbett pre-
sides, was well represented, show
ing their appreciation of his work
among them.
The rooms were beautifully deco
rated with many kinds of flowers,
conspicuous among them being
carnations. A great many of these
were strewn upon the piano, nearly
hiding it from view. A large vase
of Gala lilies occupied a promi-
nent position.
The bride and groom received
number of valuable and useful
presents, but no display was made
of them.
Mr.. Corbett, the groom, is one of
the most accomplished and deserv-
ing young men in the Islands, and
he is to be congratulated on secur-
ing so charming and lovable COM
panionion for his journey through
life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Corbett will leave
by the Miowera for an extended
honeymoon journey, visiting Mont
real, where Mr.. Corbett formerly
labored In Christian work, thence
to Eastern American cities.

PLUM COLOR VS. BLACK.

Chicago has revolted against the New York fad for plum -colored dress suits. "Sassiety" leaders of that place assert that black suits their complexion best and black it shall be. Whereupon the New York World remarks:
 "'Man.' in the language of the poet, is man. and master of his fate, but it is not given even to the Chicago man to say what clothes he shall wear. So complete was the victory of the claw hammer that when the eyes of the world were attracted to Chicago by the Colum- blan exposition they beheld the leaders bf Chicago society wearing their dress suits at breakfast.'
 It is not seemly that a great daily should for forever and day remember grudglngly that d sister city secured d certain little Worlds Fair coveted by both. Incidentally, it is thing to draw and hold the attention of nations, this squabble between New York and Chicago over the right to say what shall be and what shall not. Chicago is commercial and New York is snobbish-an equally vulgar thing in the eyes of many. Chi cago has at least the courage of convic- ton when it comes to breakfast in a dress suit. New York waits till it hears Wales tap his snuff box before develop ing it's sneeze. The rest of the American wold laughs, and well it may, at both of them.

LooP-EYED BUT WARY.

Japan has intimated that the United States will not get any of her orders for ship building for the reason that the yankees" have not yet passed the ex- perimental stage, and 1t would therefore be dangerous to place any of the orders in their hands
 Without doubt it is Japan's privilege to buy her floaters where and when she will. but it may be the great ship yard of the United States could show her some things which would make her more ''loop-eyed" than she has ever been. Ex perimental or otherwise the new cruisers now owned by this government are cal culated to do more toward inspiring profound respect for Old Glory in the minds of the Eastern nations than any other recent acquisition.
 It is understood that American inter ests will be represented. and if there is any chance to bring some of the business our way no pains will be spared. Per haps Japan would like to try a game of powder and puff with us before she places her orders. If she does try 1t, it goes without saying that the experi- mental yankees will build every boat that the loop-eyed lady will need for ten cen turies, and get the contract by divine right of proficiency, too. Japan will then doubt no longer.

OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

General Longstreets idea of the policy which ought to be adopted by this gov ernment has commanded much atten- ton. some journals have commended it, others have condemened it as political clap-trap. but the slightest familiarity with the generals record will serve to dissipate the latter charge.
 Longstreet has not remained an idol among his people. For many years after the war he was practically ostracised on account of his Republican tendencies so that when he speaks of a vigorous for eign policy it cannot be said to be d catering to the fighting blood of the South. His idea is to take vigorous steps of the sort Great Britain makes use of to enforce respect for the American flag. Evidently he would have no diplomatic delay and investigation, but would use drastic measures.
 There is little danger of the stars and stripes being the recipient of disrespect. Back in 1872 Uncle sam clearly demon strated that he meant to look to it that his flag was treated with the difference due 10 it as his representative.
 General Longstreet's ideas however are not without their value, and the ques- eon he raises will, in all probability be one of the issues of the coming year.

A GOOD EDITORIAL.

The last issue of the Iron Age contains one of the nest sensible editorials that has recently appeared in any quarter on the silver question. The Age-Herald re- produces it elsewhere and commends 1t to such silver advocates as may not yet have had their eyes fully opened in Ala bama on this issue. It has been the con viction of this paper from the outset that returning prosperity would soon refute all of the so-called arguments of the sill yer crowd, and now when a distinguished mits that if this prosperity continues the silver issue is dead, 1t is about time that those who have no such interest in it as he has should abandon it.
 The editorial referred to is well worth perusal for in the one terse sentence that: "A financial scheme that cannot stand prosperity, stands convicted of be- information about the silver question than is likely to be found in the columns of any silver journal in all the land. The truth is that from the very beginning of this agitation facts h7--- been against the silver crowd, and facts continue to drive them to the wall How about ] cent cotton and "demonetized" silver cents so rapidly? This was the labored philosophy of the Atlanta Constitution. even though the whole world knew that the law of supply and demand governed all such matters.

SNOW HILL MERCHANTS
Applaud the Railroad and Denounce the
 Boycott.

Boycott.
 To the Age Herald:
 At a meeting held this 18th day of September at Snow Hill, Ala, by the re- tail merchants and consumers to pro- test against the boycott of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad company by the Southern Wholesale Grocers' as sociation, w. G. Simpson was called to the chair and F. Hobdy secretary. The following resolutions were adopted:
 Having learned through the public press that the Southern Wholesale Gro cers' association have boycotted the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany for refusing to concede to their demands to raise the rates of freight on their lines from 15 to 20 per cent, thereby forcing the retail merchants and con- sumers to be dictated to by the South ern Wholesale Grocers' association. This demand on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to raise the rates of freight is on the necessaries of life, flour, meat, sugar coffee, molasses, etc. com modities that affect all consumers, and Whereas, After due consideration, we have come to the conclusion that the fight is not so much against the Louis- vile and Nashville Railroad company as 1t is against the retail merchants and consumers, as we know that railroads in general do not object to the raising of freight upon their lines whenever 1t is consistent with their interest to do SO. And we heartily congratulate and extend to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company our many thanks for standing to our interest In this fight, and we unan- imously protest and condemn this boy colt against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company by the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association, and We ask the cooperation of all the retail mer- chants and consumers in the south come forward and, through the press condemen and protest against this if made against us by the Southern Whole sale Grocers' association boycotting the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany for trying to give "equal rights to all. and special privileges to none.''
 Resolved That a copy of these proceed ings be sent to our county papers, the Montgomery Advertiser Montgomery Journal, Birmingham AgeH erald. Mo- bile Register and Selma Times, and we also kindly ask all papers in the south that are opposed to this unjust boycot- ting against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to print the same.

THE OUTLOOK FOR HOME RULE.

Although the English pretends to make merry over the reports of the Irish con- vention held in Chicago and headed by Hon. John Finnerty, there is manifestly some uneasiness also. This must not be understood to mean that England really fears MT. Finnerty will throw half mill lion men into Great Britain and wrest from her by force the independence of the Emerald isle. Such a course is not of the question. and the Irish-Americans themselves do not look forward to bring ing any such movement to pass
 The truth about home rule is that it is shelved indefinitely. The present par lament will outlast the present century by year or more, and no sort of guar antee can be had that the next parlia- ment will take the matter up in anything like friendly spirit. On the other hand, new situations are likely to arise, which in themselves will be complications of the matter.
 If the dream of the ever-prophetic alarmist proves true and England is plunged into war, there might arise con- tingencies which would render possible the freeing of Ireland altogether from English rule. The Irish cause has friends and sympathizers everywhere. Light-hearted Pat, driven from home by the grinding of poverty and following the beckoning of hope, has cast his lot with well-nigh every civilized nation, and in his children's veins runs the same blood that made hero of Elm met and dauntless patriots of such men as O'Connell, OBrien, Mitchell Meagher, Shiel and Grattan Patriotism with the Irish blood is further even than the third and fourth generation, and so II comes that a goodly part of every Can- casian nation has a soft spot in it's heart for the land of the Shamrock.
 The victory of the conservatives in the recent elections made it inevitable that the friends of home rule should make some move. The extremists have looked with much disfavor upon MT. William O'Brien's commendatory letters regard ing the new secretary of Ireland Legls- lation is slow and the friends of the measure have almost ceased to hope for Irish home rule through that means. Ap- peal to physical force will hardly be made in the way MT. Finnerty desires, but the fight is not to be abandoned. Whether on old lines or on new. it is to be carried on, and Ireland, so long the "niobe of nations" may yet attain to the good so long desired for her. Needless to say when it comes it will not be through any but lawful means. and the name Fenian will not be known in the movement.

 Auditor Holcombe of the treasury orig inally held up a warrant on the ground that Ransom had not been confirmed by the senate. and therefore could not be paid.

For upward of forty years-from 1851 to 1892-the Associated Press was colh- posed of those journals which rece1Veo their news directly, or through auXll- iary associations, from the pioneer organ iZation,-the New York Associated Press.
 In 1882 the United Press was formed, it's papers being the Boston Globe, Chl- cago Herald Pittsburg Leader, Brook lyn Times and some 100 others. In 1892 the New York Associated Press was con- solidated with the United Press, and the New York Herald, Tribune, Sun, Times, Journal of Commerce, Mail and Express, etc, then became the prominent factors in the United Press.
 This combinat ton has with it the South ern Associated Press; the Associated Press of the state of New York; the New England Associated Press; the pioneer press o4aanization of Canada conducted by the Great Northwestern Telegraph company, and various other organiza- tions, most of which had been allied with the New York Associated Press for more than thirty years. This combina- tion Is the genuine article and the Age Herald is a part of it.
 The so-called Associated Press" is a Chicago enterprise, with a scattered fol- lowing in various parts of the country. It is a spurious organization which came into existence in 1892. It's record of blum ders and inventions during it's career was becomingly perpetuated by it's an nouncement that the Valkyrie had de- feated the Defender in the first of the International yacht races.

BIG DUQUEsNE FURNACES.
Some Figures Cleaned on the Quist Abou
 Dimensions.
Pittsburg DispatC

Dimensions. Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The new furnaces of the Carnegie Steel company, at Duquesne, are making rapid progress. The body of one is already fin- ished and it can be readily recognized as q monster.
 The Carnegie company objects to giv- ing the dimensions of the furnace, but close estimate gives it's height as 100 feet and it's bosh as 26 feet. Furnaces H and at Ressemer, now the largest in this vii cinity, are 90 by P.
 It is isteresting to note that the first furnace built in Pittsburg, the Clinton in 1859, is on the Southside, and that no other of the twenty-five built since then has been put south of the Monongahela until these new ones were begun at Du- auesne, although dozens of mills and fac- tories line that side of the river.
 Young gentlemen having ambition to play orchestral or band instruments of any kind should consult Professor Weber at the Birmingham College of Music. Splendid opportunity.

NO DEMOCRATIC DIssENsIoN.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is in high glee over what it chooses to term Democratic dissensions and assert that the party is badly torn up this year, more so, in fact, than in any year, i'm mediately preceding a national election, in the history of the party, and offers in evidence the condition of things in Ken lucky, Maryland and New York to make out it's case.
 The Globe-Democrat can rest easy, ;t will sing a different tune when the time for action comes. Then 1t will find sound money Democrats and free silver Demo- crats all lining up and fighting shoulder to shoulder for Democratic success with all breaches healed, each faction vieing with the other in their efforts to make the election in 1896 as complete victory as that of 1892
