A STORM AT SEA

Increases the dscomfo of the voyager. But even when the weather is not tenn pest. uous he is liable to sea sickness. They who traverse the "gigantic wetness' should be provided with Hostetter's Stomach bitters, which quiets disordered stomachs with gratifying speed and certainty. To the hurtful influence of a tropio, malarious or too rigorous or damp climate, as we'll as to the baneful effects of wholesome diet and bad water, it is a reliable antidote. Com- mercial travellers by sea or land, mariners, miners, western pioneers, and all who have to encounter vicissitudes of climate and temperature, concur in pronouncing it the best safeguard. It prevents rheuma- tism and pulmonary attacks in consequence of damp and cold, and it is an efficient de- fense against all forms of malaria. It can be depended upon in dyspepsia, liver and kidney trouble.

BASEBALL WINTER.

About the only way to play the national game in winter would be indoors and boiled down 10 the limitations of the enclosure provided the hines participated. But when one man gives a pantomime- imitation of Che great outdoor sport, as Ezra Kendall does in his funny play, IA Pair of Kids, that puts another light on the game-the footlight. MT. Kendall's baseball act, as it is called, is as much looked for wherever he appears ss the long whisaers on Rip Van Winkie. It is so thoroughly original and perfect as to defy imitation. h the char acter of the old "jay' MT. Kendall initiates the catcher in all his work behind the bat, from seizing "hot balls" to the proverbiai kick with the umpire. The hundred and one of these odds and ends of cleverness are what have made IA Pair of Kids' the oldest and funniest of all laughing plays. It will be seen at O'Brien's opera house on Friday evening next.
 Prices especially reduced-entire parquet 75 cents; dress circle 75, 50 and 30 cents; gallery 70 cents.

THE State has taken the initiative step in esta blishing industrial schools, and in no better way can she assure her industrial supremacy. It is much more important to lts well being that State should have iu- dustrial schools than military schools. A State should have better schools for edu- eating captains of industry than captains in the military. The older countries, such as England, France and Germany, have secured and maintained their pre.eminence in manufacturing through such schools. Such school is better than a protective tariff. It will enable us to successfully compete with all nations. Alabama has more natural advantages than any other State, and only needs skilled workmen to turn these resources into wealth. The more skilled workmen q State has the greater the wealth Of that State. The State that pays the largest sums for education will also pay the best wages. Thus it can be seen that as a mere money making iu- vestment it pays State to educate its young men and young women.

TOLEDO, o., March 1.-The Toledo high school building, four-story brick structure, was almost destroyed by fire a little before o'clock this morning when a loud explosion that blew out part of the east wing of the building occurred. A mo- ment later fire burst forth and spread so rapidly that before an alarm could be given the main portion of the building was doomed. The fire department managed to save the Scott manual training department. The explosion was probabley caused by chemicals in the laboratory. The loss is estimated at $l50,0O0 Insurance not known,

MARY AND JOHN.n

'No, we don't go to troupes much now. Times got so blunt we jest had to shut. down on shows and deny ourselves great many such necessities, hut John and me's ever his name is, Kendall, 'canse we got a postal card from Johns uncle, up in Mich igan, saying he was a reg lar circus, and we do dote on circuses. John nigh ousts an artery every time the clown cuts his capers at the circus. Our postal card said the Pair of Kids' was the name of hls troupe. Ifit's half as funny as the bills I'll be a widder, I know, fer John'll jest let go and laugh himself into an everlast- ing ft." This is the same Ezra Kendall (there is only one) who is to set the pace for laughter at the opera house on Friday night.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

south. It was southern capital, too, that first demonstrated that'iron could be made more cheaply there than in any portion of the north or west. After the southerners had demonstrated this fact then good deal of northern capital went down there, and quite large amount of it has been invested. The Tennessee Coal and Iron company, that owns a large number of furnaces and a great deal of coal and iron and is capital iZed at many millions of dollars, has it's stock now largely owned in the north.
 It is.sometimes suggested that cotton will cease to be the important factor it has al- ways been in the commercial life of the south, but my opinion is that it will al- ways be one of the most mportant crops of the south. But 1t is to be hoped that it will not be so extensively relied upon in the future as 1t has been in the past, and that the low prices which have now pre- vailed for some years will compel farmers to devote themselves more largely to rais- ing their own supplies of food.
 The cause of the low price of cotton has been overproduction. After the war we began in the south to make about 2,000,- OO0 bales per annum, and now we are making something like 5000, 900 bales. One of the great advantages of cotton over other crops is that it always will bring cash. At any point and at any time 1t can readily be turned into money; you do not have to wait for the market.
 There is no doubt that the invest11ept of
  prove profitable. We are kpg more educated labor ia thatN k- try, and our cotton mills, notv
 the hard times, have generally
 cessful. In some places, like
 not spindle stopped during the
 the recent panic of 1693-4, nor hava> been as many business failures in the N ss there have been in the north, possibly because we did not have as much or as many speculative values.
 The probabilities are that in the future there.will be very pluch greater demaud for railroad iron in South America than there ever has been heretofore, and that is a market that ought to belong almost ex- clusively to the gulf states. The building of the Nicaragua canal would also result in great benefit to the iron and timber inter- ests of the southern states. 1 learn that recently the contract for large quantity of iron pipes, to be laid in Japan, was bid off in Birmingham, Ala.

TEE Railway Review takes a hopeful view of the prospect in the following edi- torial paragraph "All consumers of crude iron and steel are now making pro- vision for from three to six months SUD- plies, having secured orders for products that will keep their works employed from two to three months. In a general way the iron trade is improving. high au- thority says'if the projected enterprises were started our entire iron and steel mak- ing capacity would be for time fully em- ployed. The obstacle in the way of greater activity seems to be the doubts of our ability to protect ourselves against the dan gers resulting from deflsction of the gold reserve. If this be true 1t is to be regretted, because there is an enormous amount of work projected in industrial lines for the coming season.''

THE coal men of Ten nessee meet in Chat tanooga today to take steps to do away with the competition of convict and free labor. The riots at Coal Creek and Briee- vile have given an impetus to this move- ment. The coal interests of Tennessee rep resent an investment of S ,0O0, ,0o0. An ef- fort will be made to induce the State to sell her mines, which can be done without loss on the investment, and to look for the rev. enue derived in another direction. It is believed that the State can enter upon the building of bikes in the different counties to advantage. This plan has been tried in Alabama and didn't work well, but per- haps Tennessee will have better success. The coal operators say further that Ten nessee has no right under the constitution to enter into competing business of a product 10 be put on the market.

It appears that the Lehner process for

introduced in Bradford, England, and has
been worked up in quite variety Of fab
RIGS In the dycing, weaving and finish
ing processes involved no special treatment
is mentioned, and unlike most vegetable
fbers this artificial silk can be dyed in all
oolors, tho shades obtained excolling in
brilliancy and delicacy those of the finest
natural SILK, and fer softnoss and beauty
Of appearance the material is thought to
equal tic best Chinese and italian silks.
by its use, therefore, in combination with
cotton, wool or natural silk, it is pointed
out that brOcaded and other ornamental
and decorative results can be obtained
which have hitherto been unattainable ex-
cept by tho omploymenG of tho finest
