WILL BEGIN THIS WEEK.

MIR. UNDERwOoD's SIDE OF THE NovEM-
 BIER ELECTION TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
 Special Commissioner Thad Weatherly will begin taking testimony in Birming- ham Tuesday in behalf of MT. o. w. Un1 derwood in the contest case of T. H. Aldrich vs. O.. w. Underwood. Only a few witnesses will be examined, ss the contestee and his attorneys do not deem it necessary to take much testimony. Tbey say the evidence secured by the contestant amounts to but little ,saud thus do not be- lieve it sufficient to justify congress in seating Mir. ldrich.f
 A few witnesses will be called on to tes- tify in regard to the November election in Birmingham and also at Elyton.
 MT. William Jackson will begin on the same day an investigation on behalf of Mr. Underwood of the election at Besse- mer. Quite number of witnesses will be put on the stand there and testify as to the alleged buIl-dozing at that place. The contestant-in the examination of witnesses there tried to make it appear that several voters were intimidated and denied the privilege of voting by deputy sheriffs and others, who, they claim, were working in the interest of MT. Underwood on the day of the election.
 Special commissioners will also begin taking evidence this week in Blount, Bibb and Perry counties. The contestant exam ined but few witnesses in Bibb and Blount, both of which counties gave majorities for Mir. Aldrich. The coDtestee believes fraud was committed in both of those counties, and will endeavor to prove it by creditable witnesses

"I RECOMMEND PERUNA

"To ALL CATARRH sUFERERs,' SAYS EDI-
 TOR W. T. POWELL OF CLARINaToN, O..
 w. T. Powell, editor of the Independent of Darlington, O., writes that he was taken sick with bronchitis and catarrhal lungs were badly affected, being so tight and sore he could hardly breathe, and coughed almost incessantly. For two months tried local physicians, took cough medicines and other medicines. Took three bottle of Peru na and was entirely cured.
 The tendency of catarrh of the head is to pass downwards through the bronchial tubes to the lungs. Anyone who has had catarrh of the he ad year or more finds the disease gradually progressing downwards. In some cases the progress is rapid and in other cases it is slow; but, sooner or later, lungs and set up the disease known as con- sumption. It is doubtful if consumption is ever caused by anything except catarrh.
 It is needless to attempt to give only the vaguest outlines of the wonderful success which Peru na has met with in the cure of catarrh. This success in entirely due to the fact that Pe-ru-na eradicates the dis ease from the system, instead of tempora- rily reiievingsome disagreeable symptom. Not only is catarrh in all stages and va- rieties cured promptly, but also colds, coughs, bronchitis, la grippe, catarrhal dyspepsia, all yield, surely and perma. nently, to the curative virtues of Peru na. .

 BANQUHTs SOON.
 The Alumni society of Howard college will give grand banquet at the annual commencement in June. For the last few years this feature of the annual meetings osthe society has been neglected, but this year one of lbe most elaborate affairs of the kind ever given by the Howard college alumni will be spread at some convenient place in this city.

THE OUTLOOK FRIGHTENING.

Every indication points to increased &C., tivity among the industries of the Bir- mingham district. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company sold during the month of February more iron than they have sold in any month for some time. In the past three days this company has sold 30 ,000 tons of iron. This means that other furnaces have been equally as fortunate, for large orders are always divided up. We have heard of another lot of 1000 tons sold by another iron company. This iron has been distributed in the East and central West, and bought by pipe wo:ks, foundries, rolling mills, car works, and for building purposes. It was sold at the regular prices that have prevailed for the past three weeks. Better prices are sure to prevail in a short time. There IS a constantly strengthening demand in the North. New York is preparing for great deal of building. The railroads have let their rolling stock run down, and must re- plenish. Already more cars have been ordered this year than for the same period last year. All signs are favorable.

SPRING IS COMING.

Written for the Age Herald. We have had an awful winter. But little do 1 care, For I know that spring is coming, l feel 1t in the air. For the air is getting balmy, The sun is shining bright And 1t doesn't get much colder At the coming of the night. We shall soon be having picnics And frolics-''lots'' of funi For old winter now Is leaving And the pretty spring has come. Soon we'll go and climb tile mo untain. Hunt for violet and fern, When there is no cold to freeze us And no summer sun to burn. Ohl how lovely are the flowers, And the leaves all bursting forth With their pretty buds unfolding In the infancy of growth So should our lives unfolding Give beauty to the world As the flowers, ever blooming, Giving pleasure where unfurled.

THE New York Herald published a con- munication from an Englishman congratu- lating the negro for his success in ap- proaching the white man in equality, and in the same issue appeared an article by a Frenchm man claiming that the negroes O: the South were fast relapsing into African savagery. As usual, the English man an d Frenchman were on opposite sides. The truth lies between the two. Some negroes have advanced, while others have sunk lower down in the scale than in slavery No doubt, though, the general nov met has been upward.

It is understood that the governor has before him. among others, the name of MT. F. B. Clark, IT,, of this city for ap4. pointment to the post of codifier of the laws of Alabama. MT. Clark possesses admirable mental equipment for such a position. To his experience as attorney, covering nearly every branch of the law, I. is added the peculiar value to the code commissions work which specially at taches to patient research as a legal author. Thomas G. Jones, who was then reporter for the supreme court, prepared the fifty seventh and fifty eighth volumes of Alaf bama Reports. Clark's Manual of Crimf- nal Law and Clark's Criminal Digest are ble adjuncts to every legal library in the state. Clark's Form Book has already ex,. hausted two editions.

COLONEL MCCLURE says he advised his Pennsylvania friends ten years since to go into some other industry and leave iron making to Birmingham. His Pennsylva- mia friends seem to have followed his ad- vice, perhaps because of stress of circum- stances. The Iron Age reports in one iron district near Pittsburg total number of 1S6 blast furnaces. Of this number fifty have been abandoned, leaving only 156 in working order, and of these 136 only 100 are in blast,

THE advance in Bessemer pig in the East stiffens The Alabama iron market. The Eastern eteel men use Bessemer pig in mak- ing steel, because it is lower in phosphorus than Alabama iron and is easier turned into steel. The Pennsylvania furnaces make Bessemer pig and also foundry grade, as the demand comes in. The advance in Bessrner pig will cause them 10 turn their attention to making it and leave the de- mand for the foundry grade 10 be supplied by Southern furnaces.

It would be A big advertisement for Birmingham if the amount was com piled each month and published. This would be very good line Of work for the Commercial Club.

COLONEL MCCLURE thinks Pennsylvania should leave iron making to Alabama and develop her skilled industries. There is more profit in the higher manufactures of iron than in making the iron. Alabama should not only make the iron, but manu- fracture it. To do this she must have skilled mechanics. Her technical schools need encouraging.

MR. CARNEGIE and several other big iron and steel men in the East have just made very large purchases of iron. They are iron makers themselves, aud the fact that they have gone in the market and bought stocks ahead clearly indicates that they anticipate an advanced demand for iron and a conse. quent advance in price. Another reason that impelled them to lay in a supply is the small stock now on hand at the furnaces.

THE strike among the coal miners In Pennsylvania means an increased demand for Southern coal. If the strike spreadsto the Connellsville district, as now seems probable, it means shutting down of coke ovens and furnaces and such a demand for coke and iron that the Birmingham district will be pushed to its full capacity.

WENDELL PHILLIPS predicted before the war that when the South got rid of slavery 1t would turn it's attention to manufactur- ing and would excel New England in it's nufactures.. Taking this view of the matter it is strange that Wendell Phillips was such an ardent abolitionist, for manu- factures in the South must come in compe- tition with New England. Perhaps he took the broad philanthropic ground that the prosperity of one section meant the pros- perity of all. A

THOSE BEAUTIFUL LINES,

 To the Age-Heraid: 1 clip the following from your issue of March 6:
 Who is the author of the expression, fsThe conscious water saw It's God and blushed?' And under what circumstances was 1t written? ENQUIRER. Ans.-The quotation is from Dryden. A prize was offered for poem. Dryden en- tered the list and won. The quotation will be found in his verses on the chang1ng g of water into wine at Cana, one of the mira ces performed by Christ while upon earth. ED.
 The beautiful line has often been attrib- uted to both Dryden and Milton. But it was, however, written by Richard Cra- shaw, an English poet and priest, who was born about the year 1913, and died in the year 1649. While Crashaw was a student at Cam bridge, in 1884, he published anonymously volume of Latin poems, one of which contained the line:
 "Nympha pudica Deum ridit ct erubuit.''
 Who first substituted conscious for modest, the literal translation, do not know. Perhaps DO one else knows. The line as usually quoted is very beautiful |, but prefer the literal translation, modest with blushed. A lady friend, to whose good taste often appeal, says conscious is the more poetical. As it is not safe to differ with the ladies in matters of tnste, perhaps she is right, but l do not feel that conscious is better than modest in this line.

THE prosperity of one section is depend ent upon the prosperity of the others. No section can be permanently prosperous while the others are in distress. Ii the North is suffering from disaster it will not have the money 10 buy the cotton of the South. If it is prosperous 1t has plenty of money and is able 10 pay good prices for cotton. Thus both sections become pros- porous. There is no such thing as over production. If all nations are prosperous they will be able to consume all that the world can produce. Right here we get an idea of the terrible effect of high pro- tective tariff. It robs one section to enrich another. But finally, ev en the section en- toying the profits of high protection begins to suffer, for the other sections are impov- erished and are unable to ouy the products of the favored section. It is like game of poker when one man gets all the winnings. In the language of poker players, the game is ''sewed up.' The winner is often asked to drop out of the game, for unless he does the game is ''sewed up," the losers having nothing to put up.

THE AaE-HERALD today publishes a lengthy communication from Senator John T. Miner in answer to a letter written by Hon. F. P. O'Brien to this paper. In his communication Senator Milner reviews his official work at Montgomery, and offers defense of his acts and doings as legis- lator. In doing this he makes reference to an alleged editorial which he states ap- peared in the AaE- HERALD of the 20th ultimo. No such editorial appeared. as the files of the paper clearly prove, and Colonel Mlner does this paper an injustice in attempting to ring it into controversy between himself and other public officials. Under its present management the AGE HERALD has ever dealt kindly with the Senator. Though it may have differed with him in some Of his views and official acts, the paper has never harshly criti- cised, giving him at all times credit for honest convictions. MT. O'Brien IS amply able to take care of himself, and has asked no defense at our hands. He has never sought to "inspire'' the editorial manage ment of the AGE-HERALD against the off, ficiai career of our venerable and distin guished Senator.
