HOW ARE YOU !

TNHIS is familiar s;ilutation, and if
addressed to THE CAROLINA BENEV-
OLENT ASSOCIATION, she would re-
ply: "Growing every day" You need
not infer that she is an infant in swad
ding clothes nor giant Of the fairy
tales; but a great many of our best citi-
zens have made application for safety
under her protecting wings. Remember
that her certificates of insurance provides
the payment Of 81 900 at death and $500
in case of the loss Of one hand or one foot,
or both eyes, and a cash surrender value
of $3.50 at the ages of Sti5. The price OF
such certificate is only $50 which in
sures you for one year with your pro rata
share of the actual death and accident
claims in your own division. If no
death or accident claims arise in your
Division you can only be assessed 500
for expense, and Sl.0O for Emergency
Fund each succeeding year. No conf
pany or benevolent order can offer cheap
er rates, none are more solvent, none
other confines liability and benefits to
home counties.

the latest news from Santiago. Lieuten- ant Darby left that city a week ago last Sunday, his ship sailing by. way of Havana to New York.
 He said that all the regiment. the Bir- mingham boys in particular, were In ex- cellent health and spirits, and were be- coming very much attached to Cuba. The rainy season is now over, the final deluge having started in September 20 and con tinued for two weeks without cessation. He said that only eight men of the regi- ment have died since it was mustered in, which is the best record of any regiment that has been upon the island, and is also much better than most of the regiments that remained in the states. He attributes this to the eternal vigilance of Colonel Ser gent and the other officers in caring for the regiments health and welfare. Every drop of water which the men drink Is boiled for at least one hour. Plenty of ice and good rations are sent down by the government, and the regiment is faring very well so far as food is concerned.
 He says the men are very well satisfied with their life over there, and only a com- parativeiy few of them kick against re- maining in the service. The regiment has an excellent reputation, and General Wood wants to keep it in servce at Santiago until all the Cuban troubles are over. The regi- ment has never drilled to any extent since it has been on the island. At first it was too hot, and now the men have plenty to occupy their time in doing police and guard duty. and in experimenting the cleaning of the city and surrounding country.
 Lieutenant Darby will return to Santiago about December 1, and this time he will be accompanied by his wife. He says that the most objectionable feature of the life at Santiago is the loneliness, and the men are rejoicing that so many of their moth- and sisters are coming over on visits this winter.

STEEL PLANT
 AT FORT PAYNE
Birmingham Rolling Mills Take
 Charge of Property.
WILL BEGIN OPERATION
The Plant Consists of Two Open Hearth Basic Furnaces and Blooming Train-It Was
 Built in 1892.

As will be remembered about thirty days ago. the Alabama Steel Works of Fort Payne were sold under decree of the chancery court to P. N. Cullom, of this city. The announcement is now made that the Birmingham rolling mill will take charge of this property and will put it into active operation within the next two weeks.
 This plant was built in 1892 but was not put in operation ur... 1896 when.i 1t demon- strated beyond all doubt that steel could be successfully made from Birmingham pig iron, as result the Birmingham rolling mill put up their present plant in this city. and the Alabama Steel and Sbipbuilding company has lately begun the erection of its mammoth steel plant at Ensley. The Fort Payne mill was very successful in selling it's product to the steel consumers of the north, shipping 1t as far up Niles, Ohio, where it was brought in direct con- petition with the steel from Pittsburg, which has a rate down the river of $1 per ton It would have been in operation ever since had not the failure of the rail trust knocked the bottom out of the price of steel.
 The plant consists of two open hearth basic furnaces and a blooming train. Its original cost was $25O,OO0 This plant being only ninety miles away, can almost be said to be in the Birmingham district especially as it will get all of its material from this district The freight rates are only trifie higher than the Birmingham plants them selves have to pay and then the Fort Payne plant has the advantage of being q little nearer to the northern markets than Birmingham is.
 President Caldwell has just returned from that city, and although he refused to dis cuss the new plant which his company is opening, it is understood that he is en- thusiastic over the prospects of the Fort Payne enterprise. He left force of men there cleaning up and getting the machin- cry in condition for opening the plant.

1.-THE PLAYS

The Punch Robertson company last night presented Under False Colors" This is decidedly the best play in their repertoire, and sustained the hit it made earlier :n the season. Matinee this afternoon and per formance tonight.
 On Monday night "A Milk White Flag" bearing the indelible stamp of Charles H. Hoyt, the greatest of all farce comedy and satirical playwrights, will wave in blaze of beauteous spendor from the stage at OBrien's opera house.
 "A Milk White Flag the very altar of roses of the Hoyt garden, is positively the most electrifying piece of burlesque satire and farce comedy ever presented anywhere in the world. It has made a success in England, Scotland, Australia and in the United States, a country still strutting un- der proud victory, it is still pleasing hun- dreds and sometimes thousands at every performance. The play is a citizen soldiery satire and the satire contained in the play has been perpetrated with such excellent discretion and exquisite good humor that its very victims must laugh most at it's thfdsts "A Milk White Flag" has for it's central theme that universal weakness love of uniform. It pictures a military com pany of fifty officers and one private with a colonel "whom Napoleon resembled." The officers have penchant for bracing and embracing. The bar and the armory furnish all the bracing required. while an excep- t.onally tempting lot of pretty girls give op- portunity for the other exercise. The most exacting connosseur could not in this gall axy of feminine loveliness find one that is homely.
 Chief among the wonderful cast are Mary Marale, whose fame Is stretched from ocean to ocean and far across them.

PLAN TO STEAL MILLIONS.

Berlin Had . Scare Recently Regarding
Its Huge War Chest.
When a Berliner wishes to describe
anything as particularly secure he
says: "As safe as the wal treasure in
the Julius tower at Spandau," says the
Pail Mall Gazette. There, behind
triple barred doors, lies deposited I'M
der the s%trictest military guard the
ELS, 000, 900 that was weighed out from
the French indemnity and put aside as
a war chest for the next campaign.
And yet this treasure a thief has
planned to steal. He is no ordinary
thief, for he has already succeeded in
breaking through the strong guard
that watches over the Hohenzollern
museum and carrying off several OBJ
jects Of value. This expert burglar,
Katz by name, was caught stealing
some Of the museums treasures, and
was charged before the courts, found
guilty and sentenced. On an appeal
doubts were raised as to his sanity,
and ultimately Katz was sent to a lun-
attic asylum.
During the proceedings on appeal the
prisoner, to prove his sanity, laid before
the judges an elaborate plan he had
formed for breaking into the julius
tower at Spandau. The president of
the tribunal retorted: THAT is idiot
ic!" but Katz argued the point and
proved that he understood what he
was talking about. This dangerous in
dividual is now in an asylum, but as
he is very calm and collected he prob
ably will not be detained long, and
what will happen then to the war
chest of ESQ 0 900?
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1898-06-09

From a statement made by a Chi
eago paper. and widely copied, it ap-
pears that during the last four years
the annual average of murders COM
mitted in the United States has ex-
ceeded ten thousand. In this state
ment all cases of homicide are massed
Unfortunately as murders; but
murder in the legal sense implies de-
liberate malice. 1t is shown that of
the cases reported, ninety-three were
killed by insane persons, two hundred
and twenty-five in defense of life or
property, and forty-six hundred and
thirty-eight were the result of brawlE
or quarrels, while twenty-six hundred
and ffty-five are set down as of un-
known causes. With all deductions OF
explanations, the record of bloodshed
is a national disgrace, and may well
be called alarming; but the force OF
facts is never strengthened by exag-
geration.
