A GREAT BREWERY.

Is That of the Anheuser- Busch Company,
of ST. Louis.
Mr.. e. " Smalley, IN the Chicago
Times Herald, says that one of the great
est breweries in the world is that of the
Anheuser-Busch. This great brewery is
represented in Birmingham by the Mey-
erIMarx Co. Mr.. Smalley gives the fol-
lowing interesting information concern
ing the men who have made such a
world wide reputation:
Adolph Busch, of st. Louis, worked
for Anheuser In a small brewing concern
in that city. He was an energetic and
capable young German, and he fell in
love with his employers daughter. The
old man took him into partnership and
changed the name of the concern to the
Anheuser-Busch Brewing company. An
heuser Is dead, and Busch now owns most
of the stock of the company. He Is a
well-preserved man of 60-odd years, and
he makes more beer than any other con-
Germ in the world. When he grew rich
he did not 80 upon one of the swell
streets of the town to build mansion,
but put up substantial brick house
within the brewery enclosure. His mar
ried son has a house near by. Nobody
knows how many millions the old man Is
worth. He got his wealth honestly, by
making the best beer he could.

AN EYEWITNESS
Describes the Explosion of the Powder
Magazine Near Mobile-Was
a Thrilling Sight.

Mr. D. p. Burns, president of the Mo
bile baseball club. was an eyewitness
of the Dixie lumber mill fire and powder
magazine explosion. He described the
thrilling sight to a reporter of the Mobile
Daily Register as follows:
II came near making a home run out
at that fire this afternoon" said Dave.
1T was a very thrilling sight. but you
know was most too close to thoroughly
enjoy it. Three men on bases, two out
and hit needed to win the game Is not
a circumstance to make a man thrill
alongside of first-class powder maga-
zine. You see, John Moore, the keeper
of the powder magazine, who lives near
me, got telephone message this after
noon that the plant of the Dixie Mill
company was on fire. and that the pow
der magazine was in danger. So Moore
hitched up his horse and came over and
asked me If l would like to take a drive
out to the fire. 1 consented and got in
the buggy, and he drove out.
Moore and myself were sitting in the
buggy about two blocks from the maya
zine, and must admit that felt little
squeamish about being so close to the
powder magazine, but Mr.. Moore said
that he had great faith in his powder
magazine to Withstand the fire, and he
was certain that 1t would not blow up.
Well, l thought as he had such faith In
the building that l ought not to 'craw-
fish, so l stayed with him in the buggy.
''As we sat there watching the fire 1t
got into the roof of the magazine build
ing, and after burning fiercely for few
minutes, the roof fell in. Then followed
the explosion, and I fell out of that bug
gy, or was blown out. The buggy seemed
to rise several feet in the air, and 1
seemed to rise several feet higher than
the buggy, but as soon as l hit the
ground my legs began to work and I
didn't stop till l was firmly anchored
alongside of a telegraph pole, which
gripped well with my arms, and waited
for further results. My faith in Moores
judgment as to the ability of his pow
der magazine was gone, and from that
time on 1 kept a respectable distance
from the other smaller magazines.
II tell you it was the most thrilling
experience I ever had in my life, and 1
don't want to repeat it soon. 1t would
take book to tell you all of the things
though of in that short period in which
I was up in the air, as 1t were; and you
can never experience the great delight
felt when l landed on the earth again.
1t was grand sight, but 1 am satisfied.

THE CHRONIC KICKER.

Agentleman living in the northwestern
part of the city met State Herald re-
porter yesterday and asked if he might
be allowed to "kck" a few lines in the
State Herald, and on being assured the
privilege was his, rendered the following:
Why is it that the repeated discharge
of fire arms in this part of the city Is not
looked after by the police? The custom
has grown to an alarming extent, and I
am daily expecting to hear of a stray
shot striking and killing some inoffensive
citizen, possibly child.
WHY'S 1t the trash wagons fail to come
around our way regularly? The wagons
should not slight US because we are poor.
Why is it a large pile of mud has been
allowed to remain on the sidewalk on

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Officers Brown and Oldham Capture Two
Young Men On the Above Charge.

Officers Brown and Oldham yesterday
morning arrested and locked up in the
city prison two young white men named
T. ]. Burke and John S. King on a charge
of forgery.
Yesterday morning King went to the
First National bank and presented to
Cashier T. o. Smith a check TO $45, signed
by John b. Burke, and Endorsed by King.
Mr.. Smith at once discovered, so he
stated to Officer Brown, who was one of
the officers making the arrest, that there
was something wrong with the paper, and
suggested that the man be apprehended.
King was promptly arrested and said the
check was given to him by T. j. Burke.
The officer, with the assistance of Officer
Oldham took King to Hentchers saloon,
where Burke was found and he, too, was
arrested.
King claims to be an innocent party to
the transaction, claiming Burke gave him
the check to cash.

FEEDING FOR BEEF.

Bulletin 80, of the Mississippi station,
gives some results of feeding for beef
which are of great interest. Four kinds
of hay were used, shredded corn fodder,
crabgrass, peavine and red clover. The
red clover was the one upon which the
best gains were made, and this was fol-
lowed very close by the peavines. while
the shredded corn was the poorest feed
in the lot, although this was made up
in part at least, by its small cost. For
q grain feed, five and half pounds of
cotton seed meal per day gave the best
results, giving a better gain than did
seven and half pounds. Jack Bean
meal was Of almost no value, as 1t was
not reilshed by the cattle, and even after

HERBERT SPENCER.

my audacity in undertaking it and still
more surprised at its completion. In
1860 my small resources had been nearly
all frittered away in writing and pub
fishing books which did not repay their
expenses, and was suffering under q
chronic disorder, caused by an overtax
of the brain in 1855, which, wholly dis
abling me for IS months, thereafter
limited my work to three hours a day
and usually to less. How insane my
project must have seemed to onlookers
may be judged from the fact that before
the first chapter of the first volume was
finished one of my nervous breakdOwns
caused me to desist. But imprudent
causes do not always fail. Sometimes a
forlorn hope is justified by the event.
Though, along with other deterrents,
many relapses, now lasting for weeks,
now for months and once for years,
often made me despair of reaching tho
end, yet at length the end is reached. -
Mr.. Spencer is 76 years old, but he
bids fair to become an Cctogenarian in
spite of his former feebleness. For
many years he has lived quietly among
his books in an old fashioned house in
Regents park, London. He is unmar
ried, but he has by 10 means lived the
life Of hermit A few intimate friends
visit him, and he seldom dimes alone,
preferring TO go to some club or to be
entertained by some of the many people
who are anxious to honize him. Of
course he meets people whose lack of
intelligence must bore him, but when
such individuals become too aggressive
he has habit of stopping his ears with
a couple of little plugs which he carries
for the purpose.
He carries his great weight of learn
ing with much nodesty, however, and
is extremely simple and direct in his
talk with casual friends or acqUaint-
ances. He still wears the brcadcloth
frCcll coat, low cut WaistcOat, overgai-
tiers and black stock of years ago He is
of medium height, but his shoulders
are somewhat rounded. He does not
seem infrm, however, and his pinky
whito cheeks, framed in snow white
whiskers, have the look of health.
Herbert Spencer gave little evidence
CT his wonderful intellect until he was
so. He started cut in life as a civil en-
gineer, with a fondness for mathemat-
les, but when lie once dipped into phil
osophy he soon went deeper than any
thinker before him had gone and before
he was 40 had mapped out the life work
which he has SO recently completed
For many years he worked away in
humble and almost straitened circum-
stances, and even now, although his
works have a good sale, he is by no
means q rich man.
