IRON FIRMS IN A COMBINE.
joint Selling Agency Formed Ga
Raise Prices.

New York, March 3l.-The four large
iron producing concerns forming what is
known as the birmingham district" in
Alabama, whose representatives entered
into an agreement last week to establish
a joint selling agency intend to raise
prices on pig iron as soon as the over
stock IS disposed Of
The firms now in the agreement are the
Tennessee Coal and Iron, the Sloss, the
Thomas and the Woodward companies.
All are controlled in great measure by
northern men. John II. Inman Of the Ten
nessee Company, said to-day that the COM
bination would not affect the northern
concerns, as they manufactured Bessemer
iron.
The meaning of the agreemnt, he said,
Is simply that these four concerns. instead
of cutting each others threats through
their agents in different cities, will all stick
to the same price, fixed as the demand for
iron varies
THE price of pig iron last September
was 500 ton. 1t is our intention, after
the old stock is out Of the way TO run up
the price, probably to $3.50 again. Under
the new arrangement practically all the
iron produced in and about Birmingha m
will be sold through a single commission
er and the profits will be divided accord
ing to the amount Of production for each
company. Our concerns put out GO coo
tons last week, which is two-thirds Of the
total weekly production of the combine.
There are about twenty furnaces in OPP
Grafton now"

THE NERVE SPECIFIC.
DR.. ChaTCOt'S KOIa-NeTVine Tablets and
Their Uses.
This Great Remedy Has an Unparal-
leled Record of Oures-It Will
Cure You.

The Kola nut has been used for centuries
by Africans as a renewer of the tissues
and a preventer of fatigue.
DR.. Charcot, the eminent authority on
nervous diseases, prepared a prescription
from Kola which he vouched for as a true
specific in all nervous diseases and a sure
invigorator for the blood.
DR.. Charcots Kola Nervine Tablets are
prepared upon the above mentioned pre-
scription from the fresh nuts especially
imported from Western Africa.
Kola is not a cure-all. 1t is a food for
nerves, brain and muscles and tonic for
the blood.
Kola Nervine Tablets are absolutely GER
tain and speedy in their effects. They cure
all nervous diseases, prevent fatigue, re-
new failing vigor. give tone to the whole
system.
Kola Nervine Tablets cure sleeplessness
and the nervous troubles from which
sleeplessness comes. They are specific in
cases of nervous dyspepsia.
The druggists say the demand for the
Tablet is astonishing. Kola is what the
debiitated want.
Thousands of packages have been sold.
Good effects were felt at once.
Hundreds of letters say: "One package
Of the Tablets. costing $1.OO, has done for
me what physicians, who cost me 500.
failed to do"
We absolutely guarantee that no harm
full or secondary effects are felt from the
use of the Tablets.
Can you, in justice to yourself refuse to
pay cents a day for sure relief from neu-
ralgia, bloodlessness, brain fatigue, Sleep
Iessness, nervous dyspepsia, loss of vigor,
melancholia and all the evil resulting
from a nervous condition? Ask yourself
the question with all seriousness.

SHARP TALK TO THE PORTE.
Our Charge d'AfRnirs Threatens 10
Sever Diplomatic Relations.

Constantinople, March 81. A. Riddle,
charge d affaires, of the United States le-
CATION, has made a vigorous protest to
the porte against the action of the Turkish
governor of Bitle's in ordering the imme-
date departure of Revs. Cole and Knapp,
American missionaries at that place, and
threatened to sever diplomatic relations
with the porte unless the order was re-
voked. The protest was Endorsed by Sir
Philip Cume. the British ambassador. The
porte yielded and gave orders to the gov
ernor of Bitles to permit Mr.. Knapp, or
dered to Constantinople, to answer
charges of sedition and murder to remain
at Bitles till the roads are in better con-
dition for travel. The governor instruct
ed Allen Cole to act as he Dleases, and
perform missionary work without hind
rance.
1t is regarded as likely here that the ac-

signed to test the American pulse.

Postmaster John Field of Philadelphia.

and on May IS last issued bonds for $780,

the Lehigh Valley.
The company has had financial and legal
troubles for some time. Last year the

Mr.. Field says: THE creditors consist
chiefly of banks and importers of raw silk
materials in New York. l have not vet

fairs and therefore cannot go into details
The troubles of the company began with
the panic of 1893 and the ultimate failure
is the result of recurring stringencies since
that time. The Cutter company is an old
concern and the present mill at West
Bethlehem was built about eight years
ago and equipped with improved machin-
cry. The product consits of dress, sewing
