SOUTHERN IRON.

Col. A. NJ. Shook, of Nashville
Tenn, General Manager of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railway
Company, is guest at the Fifth
avenue Hotel. He was seen there
yesterday by a reporter for the
New York Times, who talked with
him about the iron industry in the
South.
How is it that Southern furna,
ces can lun while most of the furn-
aces in the North and West are
shut DOWN." asked the reporter: .
"SOuthern furnaces as a rule are
differently situated from the furnN
aces in the North and West are re-
CARDS their supply of coke, ore and
limestone" replied Col. Shook,
Northern and Western furnaces
buy their ore from the lakes and
their coke from Connellsville or
POcahontas. The Southern furna>
ces own their own coal mines, coke
ovens, ore mines and limestone
quarries, and mine all their raw
material. They pay no profits to
coal miners, ore miners or coke ma
kers.
"They have also another advane
tage. While the Northern furnace
man ships his ore from the Lakes
to Pennsylvania and the Western
furnaceman ships mis- coke from
COnneIlsville or Pocahontas to the
lakes, in either event at great cost
for transportation, the Southern
furnaoeman mines all his coal, ore
and limestone, and makes his own
coke within a radius of less than
ten miles from the furnace. This
is notably true in the Birmingham
district, where all the raw mater ais
are found in Jones' Valley, in
which the furnaces are situated
the coal on one side, the ore on the
other side, and the limestone be-
tween the two, frequently not
more than four miles from the coal
to the ore"
"How does the furnace practice
Of the South compare with that of

Anna l.. Smith, of 81 Pulaski Avenue.
Brook yn With all the comforts that money
affords, with all the happiness that many
loving friends can give, the joy of Mr..
Smiths life was blasted for years by the ter
rible ravages Of sickness. Mrs. Smiths eX-
perience is unique because her suffering was
not caused by one disease only but by many;
until it seemed as though she was a living
sacrifice. Doctors were employed, money was
spent-the wide world was searched for
remedies that would give her the JOY of good
health. Despite all efforts the clouds Of life
grew darker until it looked indeed as if
death was lowering near. 1t was in this hour
of distress that She heard of the now famous
remedy-Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

The greatest wonder of the antipodes
Is the celebrated glow-worm cavern,
discovered in 1891 in the heart of the
Tasmanian wilderness. The cavern or
oaverns (there appears to be series of
such caverns in the vicinity, each sep
arate and DISTINCT are situated near
the town of Southport, Tasmania, in a
limestone bluff, about four miles from
Ida Bay. The appearance OF the main
Cavern is that of an underground river,
the entire floor of the subterranean
passage being covered with water
about foot and a half in depth. These

formation, with the exception that
their roofs and sides literally shine
with the light emitted by the millions
of glow worms which inhabit them.

the idea of taking his new overcoat out

young man spied this hanging ON the
hat rack he decided to appropriate it
for the night and 50 save his overcoat.
Without saying a word 10 his brother
he put on the waterproof and sailed
forth into the rain. calculating that he
would save his new oYercoat at least
three months wear that night. When
he came home he found his brother in
their room. Say, old man." he said,

Mrs. Charlie, Newman, of Twelfth Street,
is very enthusiastic over DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. and She has every reason TO be grateful
for the wonderful cure She has received from
the remedy. Mrs. Newman was sufferer
with muscular rheumatism. Her right arm
seemed To be affected the most and She was
miserable for more than a year-unsble to use
her arm AT all and suffering the most awful
fortunes.
She used many remedies but nothing seemed
10 help her at all. one day She noticed the
testimonial in a newspaper Of n gentleman in
Canada who was cured Of the same trouble by
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and determined to
try box. She took, in all, nine boxes, and
iN entirely cured. She felt the effects of the
first box and began to improve Immediately.
She has never had any sign of the trouble
since. She had become very nervous and
weak, but the pills strengthened her in every
way. She heartily recommends them 70 any
one who is troubled with rheumatism. and is
very glad to add her testimonial to the Won
drrul virtue of the medicine.
