Speaking of the second contest in the
ciuD, PRESIDENT Stone said last evening
that MS election had no bearing whatever
on the canvass of any candidate for the
united States Senate. While the club
would take an active part in the next cam
Palgn as a supporter of the Republican
cause, National and State, and even local,
the organization would not lndorse any
man tor nomination. Members of the
clno, as individuals, would, of course. be
1Tee TO express their preference, but the
cIuo would keep out of all factional and
personal controversies.
since the election last Tuesday fourteen
new applications for membership have
been received.
1t is known that President Stone gave
earnest consideration to the selection of
tne committee on political action, and
iTiends OF the new administration predict
tnat the committee will exercise more than
ordinary influence in the next political
cam paign.

RESIGNED VOLUNTARILY.
Why Secretary Casey of the Public
Library Left His Position.

The resignation of Secretary E. ]. Casey
of the Public Library caused no surprise
among the trustees of that institution
as they had known of his intention to &c
into some other line of business for more
than a year past and had experienced
some difficulty in keeping him from Civ
ing up his position several months ago,
The office was good one, paying $3.50 Der
month, but Mr.. Casey believed that he
could do better in other lines.
Librarian Clark said yesterday that there
was not the slightest dissatisfaction with
the manner in which the ex-secretary had
conducted his work and that his resigna-
tlon was great disappointment to the
members of the board of trustees ..He
was the financial officer of the board y
said Mr.. Clark, but his accounts were in
every way satisfactory. L know that Mr..
Casey intended to resign wear aeo and
that the trustees persuaded him to Change
trustee Lllienthal also confirmed the
statement that the secretarv's resignation
was entirely voluntary.

WORKS OF ART AND CURI0S.

The citizens of Birmingham do not de- vote themselves exclusively to money making, but give considerable attention to art and the collection of curios
 Mrs. Quigley possesses a painting by Rosa Bonheur. It is small not larger than feet in circumference and feet in diameter, is oval shaped and is valued at $500. It represents Rosa Bonheur her. self with her arms around the neck of a Jersey COW. A relative of Mrs. Quig1ey visited Rosa Bonheur at her home in the old world and obtained the painting at the time.
 MT John M. Caldwell possesses a col lection or rare coins, which is very valua- ble. His father, Dr. H. M. Caldwell was pnumismatist of note and occupied the leisure moments of his very busy life in gathering together this choice collection.
 MT B. B. Conner has recently adorned his palatial home with a. bust of Venus and Mercury. They were carved by Ital- ian sculptors and from Italian marble. They were in the Italian exhibit at the Atlanta exposition and were purchased by Mr Conner while visiting the exposi- tion. These beautiful works of art rest in niches in the hallway and seem to complete the attractiyeness of the broad hall.
 Miss Julia Ward the talented daugh- ter of Capt. W, c. Ward, has recently drawn crayon portrait of Captain Huey of the Huey Guards and the resemblance is remarkably striking. Captain Huey is represented in uniform and presents a handsome picture.
 Mayor VanHoose has recently adorned his front lawn with statuary Near the entrance are seen two recumbent figures, which were nodded in Birmingham and made of Birmingham iron. These figures look very much like lions and have caused the impression that Mayor Van Hoose has a partiality for the British lion, with his goldbug proclivitles and Venezuela-loving disposition, but the im- pression is erroneous. for Mayor Van Hoose is a bimetallc American and in- dorses the Monroe doctrine.

AS ID ALABAMA IRON
An Interesting Paper by MT.
 James BoWron. REMARKABLE EXPANSION
Her Pig Has Found Its Way Around the World Other Avenues to 0pen-Pertinent
 Suggestions.

I have been requested to prepare pa per for the next meeting of this society on the subject of "The Pig Iron Market; It's Extent, and How to Improve It.
 The extent of the market for southern pig iron is very remarkable. According to the statistics published by MT. Swank of the American Iron and Steel associa- tion, there were produced in 1894 6,657,- SSS gross tons of pig iron, of which 120, 1S0 tons were spiegeleisen and ferro maga- nese. leaving 6,537, POS tons to represent all the iron produced in the United States for melting or pudding. There was also produced in the same year 4,412,- 032 gross tons of steel of various kinds. The production of this steel would re- quire more than corresponding number of tons of iron so as to allow for the waste incident to any method of conVer- sion, but, as this is a commercial and not a scientific paper, l am content to offset the above mentioned tonnage of spiegelei- sen and ferro against the waste incurred in conversion, and simply to deduct the 4,412032 tons of steel from the available tonnage of iron, which leaves 2,125,176 tons available for foundry and forge pur- poses. This may be considered to repre- sent the American market during the restricted and unusual year of 1884, for the importations of foreign pig iron were only 15,5S2 tons, consisting mainly of Scotch, but including some Swedish pig iron.
 The produc ion in Alabama in 1894 was 1892 tons and in Tennessee 212773 tons, being S05, ,165 tons altogether. This pro- duction represents for Alabama 27.8 per cent of the entire consumption of the United States of pig iron apart from that used in the manufacture of pig iron, and for Tennessee a similar production of 10 per cent, being for the two states an az gregate of 37.8 per cent.
 Without entering into any labored com parisons with other states or districts, this percentage is quite sufficient to show the commanding position taken by tn ase districts in the general foundry and roll ing mill trade. This is emphas sized by the Wide area over which the iron is dis tributed. I give at this point the two fol- lowing tables, showing the distribution of iron by the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, for the calendar year 1888, and for the twelve months ending July 1, 1885,

Federation of Women's Clubs, which was formed under the most fortunate aus- pices last spring in Birmingham. Miss Mary La F. Robbins of Selma Is the president of this federation, and under her able management it has grown and prospered. The second convention of the federation will be held at Montgomery, Ala, early in May. This is but meager outline of what has been accomplished by the women and men of Birmingham in club work. but it seems to demon- strate that no city in any section of the country is more advanced and more ad- yancjng in those matters which apper- tain to the intellectual upbuilding of community.

Look SouthWard.

The man who thinks that the south is retrograding, or is at standstill, and Is not coming rapidly to the front as the favorite section of this North American continent in all things, evidently does not know the history of his country as it is being enacted day by day
 Who ever heard of people starving in the south? Yet many farmers of Ne braska are now without the necessaries of life. Who ever heard of rain not fall ing for a spell of three or four months in this section and all the crops drying up for the lack of the refreshing showers from Heaven? Yet this is becoming yearly occurrence on the wind-swept plains of the west. Who ever heard of iron being made as cheaply in the north as in Alabama, or of any other section possessing as many advantages of min eral wealth, soil and climate as this fa- vored spot of ours?
 The world is at last realizing all these facts and many more. New England manufacturers have learned that they must come south with their plants or quit the field. They are not going to quit the field, so they are coming south.

An examination of these tables shows the following interesting points:
 1. That the number of states consum- ing these brands of southern ircn increas- ed In six years from thirty to thirty nine, besides the addition in the last mentioned table of five foreign countries.
 ?. That the home consumption had so far increased that Alabama moved up from seventh in progressive importance to second, and Tennessee from eighth to seventh. This is a point of supreme inn portance, for notwithstanding the fact that Birmingham iron ranges from Mexi- co to Canada and from Sen Francisco to Liverpool, it is obvious that distant mar kets can only be controlled by the sacri- flee of profits, and that it is the develop ment of the home market, that can be reached without the payment of inter- vening freight charges, that we must look to for our profitable business.
 Obviously, therefore, everything that producers of pig iron in this district can do should be done to advance the inter- ests of the rolling mills, pipe works, ma chine foundries, etc, which are located beside us. We should advertise their products, give them our own patronage, become personally familiar with the character of their business quality of the iron they use, their methods of treat ment. the stocks that they carry, and study to deliver to them the quantity and quality of iron that will best subserve their necessities.
 There are three ways in which the market for Alabama iron may be en- larged; namely, the development of (a) the home market; (b) the domestic; Co the foreign.
 a. For the enlargement of the home market 1t is necessary for us to bring con- tinually under the notice of manufactur- CTS in other parts of the country the-ad- vantages which our cheap iron and coal, our mild climate and reliable labor af- ford. This is doubtless done at present. with perfect loyalty to the district, by the gentlemen who are interested in 1t, but necessarily in manner which Is more or

Branstead Tells How He Come by
the Stolen Chairs.

1t was stated yesterday that ]. Bran
stead was arrested on the preceding
night on suspicion of having stolen a
couple of chairs from the sidewalk on
Seventh street The arrest was made
because he was identified as the person
who had sold them.
Branstead was soon released, the po-
lice being convinced that he did not
steal the chairs. He says he met man
with the chairs, and the latter offered
them to him for a half-dollar. Bran
stead said he would give him quarter
for them, and the bid was accepted. He
then took the chairs and sold them for a
small advance.
He says he felt a little uncomfortable
afterwards, as it began to dawn upon
him that possibly the chairs had been
stolen, but at the time he bought them
that did not occur to him. He has the
appearance of an honest man, and says
he has a family and property interests in
another county.

DOWN THE GRADE.
Oracle Nelson, the Flower Girl,
Charged With Vagrancy.

Officer Dan Healy of the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children
yesterday arrested the girl Oracle Mel
son, who has been so conspicuous about
the streets for couple of years as a
vender of flowers.
She had been out all of Tuesday
night and returned to her home yester-
day to get some clothes preparatory to
staying out again. Healy was there
waiting for her, and when she saw him
she lit out like a young deer, but he ran
her down and took her to the City Jail.
The miss has reached an age that pre-
cludes her being dealt with as a child,
and as her mother permits her to go
about the streets and follow the occupa-
ton of selling flowers, it has been found
necessary to place charge of vagrancy
against her
Oracle Nelson's meek and modest de-
meanor on the street has deceived many
persons as to her true character, which
may be generally stated as being decid-
edly tough" But the worst of it is
she has number of younger girls in
tow, and the fear is entertained that she
has already initiated them into her own
ways Of living.
An effort will be made to commit the
girl to some institution where she will
have an opportunity to reform.

POOR POISON.
A Despondent Woman Was Given a
Harmless Dose.

About O'Clock yesterday morning
messenger boy visited police headquar-
ters and exhibited a note which looked
very much like the precursor of a trag-
edy. 1t was written on the back of an
advertisement and read as follows:
"Sadie-By the time you get this I'll
be dead. Tell Pat to curse someone
else. HATTIE"
The note had been given to the boy by
q woman at Second and K streets, with
instructions to deliver it to Sadie Brady
at Fifth and NJ. The patrol wagon was
sent out but no trace Of the writer Of the
note could be found. A druggist was
found who said he had concocted and
sold to a woman harmless mixture in
stead of the poison she asked for.
Sadie Brady was located, but she
could throw very little light on the SUBJ
Ject, except that the woman's name was
Hattie Bowen, or Boyne; that she lives
on a ranch south of the city, and that
her husband is employed here. Too
much whisky and a quarrel are said to
have been at the bottom of the affair.

RIVAL CURRENTS.
How the North Winds Overcome the
Cool South Breezes.

The Weather Bureau repont shows the
highest and lowest temperatures yes
terday to have been 50 and 30 degrees,
with gentle to light southerly winds
and clear weather prevailing. The wind
during the evening was very Light from
the northwest
The barometrical readings at 3 a. m.
and 3 p. m. yesterday were 1898 and
3O.Ol inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were Sc and 81
degrees, and one year ago to-day S2
and 50 degrees.
The dry thermometer at a. m was
OF, and the wet Sensible temperature)
d degrees; wind southwest, II miles per
hour and the weather clear with but
few clouds
The dry thermometer at p. m. was
81, and the wet (sensible temperature
62 degrees; wind northwest, miles per
hour and the weather clear.
The average temperature was 6S and
the normal "a degrees showing yester-
day to have been 6 degrees cooler than
the normal temperature for July 18th.
1t will be readily noticed, even by the
poorest observer of the weather in this
city, how quickly 1T warns up when
the winds velocity falls from eighteen
or twenty miles per hour to that of
three miles, which is equal to a stagna-
ton of the atmosphere.
When the smoke from the Pioneer
Mills chimney shows one direction of
the wind, and that from the Buffalo
Brewery another, we know that irregu-
lar currents in the air are prevalent
that is, the upper current from the west
northwest is trying to undermine the
current from the south-southwest AS
the latter Is the cooler 1T takes some
hours to do so, because cool air (from
the south) is heavier than warm air
tfrom the north), and being heavier 1t
hugs the earth surface closer, while the
northerly wind, being warmer, has a
tendency to flow over that from the
south. Occasionally, and at certain
points, it reaches the earth's surface
and gives northerly winds, which be-
come general as soon as the force of the
uortherly winds becomes greater than
that Of the wind from the south.
