BURNS CAN'T STAND ASToR.-Quite
scene was created in the House OF
Commons yesterday by John Burns,
socialist member for the Battersea di-
vision of Battersea aud Clapham. The
occasion was the debate of proposal
to erect new ball for the use of the
London county council.
In the course of the discussion Mr..
Burns. himself member of the county
council, made an attack upon the Pail
Mall Gazette, which newspaper is
owned by William Waldorf Astor, be-
cause of its opposition to the proposal.
The opposition OF the paper to the
erection of new building on the site
of the present one, be said, was purely
in the interest of Mr.. Astor, whose
house adjoiped the council building.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Burns
said he could stand decent duke or
militant marquis, but he could not en-
dure the miserable and ungentlemanly
conduct of new millionaire.

With the above heading the San Fran

of the Yaw concert given in that city.
We quote the following from that arti-
Gle:
For her first number Miss Yaw sang
Dell Acaua's" Villoasslle, a bit of ra tn
er vocal gymnastics, but very pretty, end
ing on an E fiat, thrown off as nonchal-
lantly and easily as her preliminary
mods had been 10 the audience. A per-
sistent and unanimous recall was re-
warded by PATHS Laughing Song. sung
most delightfully."- in faultless style and
very dramatically.
Miss Yaw was evidently an immediate
success, and second recall produced a
score of two of Coming Though the
Rye" the first biz of vernacular she had
yet given us.
A murmur pervaded the audience for
a few minutes, which plainly showed that
Miss Yaw had won warm favor and
that everybody was satisfied; that besides
possessing a remarkable vocal range,
she could sing and do it in proper style,
and above all eloquently.

No 1 Furnace, Ensley City, Turns Out
Over 300 Tons of Iron In Twenty
Four Hours-No. In Blast
Other Furnace News.

Recently the Tennessee Coal Iron &
Railway company have been having con-
siderable changes made in their furnace
plants az Ensley City and at the Alice
plant The principal change has been the
incre asing of the number of tuyeres in
each furnace from eight to sixteen. This
was done to increase the output of iron
from the furnace in a given time.
That .he change has been beneficial
can be seen even by the merest novice
when 1T is known that at No. furnace of
the Ersley City plant one day the past
week the output for twenty-four hours
was 1903 tons. The capacity of this fur
mace under the old number of tuyetes
was IT'S tons. This furnace has besn in
operation three years without refining,
and the change in tuyeres was made in
February.
The changes of tuyeres at the Alice
plant have also been made and the fur
mace will soon go in blast.
Work on No. ! furnace at Sloss City
plant is being pushed rapidly
No furnace, Ensley City, was COM
pleted yesterday morning and was fired
up a noon.
Nos. . and 4, Bnsley City, will be over
hauled at once.

A CORRE CTION.

In the account of the death of Mr.. Tim
othy Smith which appeared in yesterdays
State Herald a sentence reads in such
manner as to lead one to infer that
Messrs. Tom O'Hara and P. H Smith had
been with him and that all of them had
been drinking considerably. The writer
did not intend to crate that impression.
It should have stated that the two las
named gentlemen had found Mr.. Smith
in a drinking condition and had taken
him to a room and placed him in bed.
The state Herald gladly makes this cor
recion in justice to Messrs. O'Hara and
Smith.
