there this week and looked the ground over carefully, with an eye as to its availability as the site for $1 100000 steel wire mill, to, employ some 1,2OO men, the Birmingham papers decided that something new had happened, and proceeded to rejoice over the phenomenon with enthusiasm and big headlines. Among the YesteeTp visitors were the chief officeres of the Illinois Steel con- pany, the American Steel Wire company, and the Chicago Shipbuilding company, and, acting as their hosts, not less cordial be- cause somewhat interested, were eminent representatives of Alabama railways ana mills The strangers were taken all over the city and its suburbs, and they inspected as many quarries mines, furnaces and fac- tories as the extreme heat of the day gave them strength to see-which, as the f1nan- cial magnate of these times is man or considerable endurance, was not feW. The visitors expressed extreme satisfaction with what they observed and praised the natural advantages of Birmingham warmly enough to satisfy even the old inhabitants with land to sell The president of the American Steel Wire company, when questioned as to the plans of his corporation, answered somewhat vaguely, to the effect that the company "now has fourteen mills at work making steel wire, rods, and the like, and g. branch may be started here,' put thls is taken by the Birminghamese, who are hopeful lot as well as deeply versed Tn the language of capitalists, as basis TOT ex- peotations amounting to little less than cer- tainty.

 Professor Eugene T. Cato of Atlanta has permanently located In Birmingham and will assume charge of the South Highlands academy, of which Professor Joel c. Du- Bose was principal for so many years.

 The Louisville Courier-Journal of Sunday says:
 When the pictures of the sponsors ap- peared in the Atlanta papers the Louisville people were very much disappointed to see that thename of Miss Lillian Roden the sponsor for Alabama, had by mistake been placed under the picture of Kentucky's beautiful representative, Miss Mary Sayre Semple, but when they met the pretty Ala bama girl even the mots partial of Miss Semple's admirers were forced to acknowl- edge no injustice had been done to either, as "a fair exchange is no robbery" but Louisville people will have chance to

 fishing such a plant is that the south is becoming a very large consumer or steel products which are now supplied almost entirely from Chicago and Pittsburg. The rail freights,, even on the most favorable basis are very heavy in supplying that market, and it will be matter of business economy to have a local plant near the iron and coal district Under present con- ditions both the Tennessee Coal and Iron and the Sloss Iron companies at Birming- ham dispose of large part of their pig iron output in Chicago. The freight to that point is from $5 to $7 per ton. This iron is converted into steel and various manufactured articles like wire, cotton ties and building materials and a consider able portion of these is then reshfpped to the south at another outlay for freight charges. A plant at Birmingham will be close to the base of supply for the raw ma terial and will save the tremendous freight charges. Moreover, Birmingham is only about 150 miles from tide-water ports, and this promises to be very important feat ure in the near future, as our exports of steel and steel manufactures increas- ing greatly and are becoming very large item dn our foreign trade.
 It is understood that the Illinois Steel officials have had conferences with Ten nessee Coal and Iron and Sloss Iron inter. ests relative to the proposed enterprise. It is estimated that the new steel works will consume 300O 900 and 100000 tons of pig iron annually, and these two companies would probably be called upon to supply the bulk of this.
 Ourainformant further says that there is noitruth whatever in the report that the visit of the Illinois Steel officials portended a possible combination of their company and the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany.,, There is no such object in view or even thought Of.

THE PENALTY OF GREATNESS.

 During the past few days Lieutenant Hobson must have realized with paraly1ing force the fact that the consequences of a great act are sometimes rather formidable It is doubtful whether, when he took the i Merrmac into the entrance of Santiago harbor, in the midst of that rain and shells, he had any definite idea of what would happen to him if he lived to return to his native land. He knows now.
 The beginning of his troubles came when he landed on American soil. In New York, in Washington, in Boston he has been surrounded wherever he went by a surging crowd anxious to shake his h1nd. Vainly has he tried to slip out of side doors, and sidle along corridors, and to take the modest cabs and electric cars in- stead of two-horse barouches; vainly has he supposed that his personality would not be known to this well-educated and
