is falling with the worst effects. The cost through that region ranges from $9 to $1O per ton. I have repeatedly expressed it in print and in private that this section (an- thracite) had more to fear from Carnegie than it had from the Birmingham district, since Carnegie could meet them in all their markets with a larger margin than it was possible for Birmingham to do, and when Carnegie settles down to his hard-pan prices, which he will do as soon as present advantages can be put into fuller operation, it will then be seen where his hand will fall heaviest.
 As to Birminghamys possibilities I know that she has not reached her limit by fully 20 per cent, and would not be astonished to find it even beyond that before very long, This is not said for effect but from a careful study of what I knew Birming- ham had to face in the future, and I wanted to realize just how she could stand the squeeze. I am pleased to believe that she will come out as I have ever thought on top. In a letter that I will have in the Philadelphia Times of today tomorrow, I say all this and more in Birmingham's behalf, while in private letter from Col Mcclure acknowledging it's receipt he uses these words: q have ever felt that Bir- mingham was destined to become the in dustrial metropolis of the south." But her efforts should be bent in developing the en- tire south where she is supreme. No pay freights and meet Carnegie on his own ground, as it were, will leave little hope for profit, but in the south, west and all foreign markets Birmingham can and will dictate prices.
 But it will be seen that Birmingham has no soft snap ahead of her. It from this fact that I have been so solcitous to see a general policy of development pre- vailing all over the south. Never had any people a grander country. nor one for which nature had done so much. and yet it Is not receiving the share of enterprise and capital to which hese blessings so richly entitled it. For this the people there rave only themselves to blame. This is emphatically an age of push and effort, and it is as ap- plicable to communities as it is to individ,- uals. I am proud that am a son of the any other section, but in deeds and in re- suits no other people can show better since the war than can the people of the south But that section is only on the threshold of it's grandeur I see just ahead for it a most prosperous future, but it will be has, tened or retarded just as her own people realize their duty and perform it.

THE JUDGME ENT.
The Theme of Father Roberts Discourse Last
 Night

Notwithstanding the rainy weather last night, St. Pauls Catholic church was filled to its doors to hear the mission sermon of Father Roberts. Father Bonaventure con- tinued his discourse on the penance of the sacrament.
 He was followed by Father Roberts. who spoke on the general judgment, taking for his text It is the creed for each one to die and after death the judgment" He showed that each one will be privately judged the moment they pass away from earth, no matter when or where they breathe their last. Besides this private judgment, the Scriptures very clearly make known the general or last judgment, when all man. kind will be called together from the first to the last
 He showed that now is the time of grace, charity and love on the part of God, but that those graces of pardon and forgiveness will cease at the general judgment and strict justice will take their place.
 He spoke of the judgment taking place not far from crucifixion,. where Christ ap- peared as a criminal when deprived of His strength, so that the judgment will be with in the shadow of Calvary, where He will appear on the last day when the greatness of his divinity Is universal.
 After the sermon Miss Alice Fallon sang .eThe Holy City," which was peculiarly ap- propriate to the occasion.

PLUMBERS FIGHT
 IN CRIMINAL COURT
THE APPEAL CASES SET FOR HEAR.
 ING TODAY.
Constitutionality of the Ordinance Requiring
 Them to Put Up Guarantee of $25 Will Be Attacked.

The now celebrated fight of the plumbers against the city will be renewed in the criminal court today, when the cases ap- pealed from the inferior criminal court are set for hearing.
 The plumbers, through their attorneys, Denson & Tanner, will attack the co{stitu- tionality of the law regulating their busi- ness.
 The ordinance against which their fight is directed is the one which requires the plumbers to pay fee of $1 for inspection and put up $25 as a guarantee. This ordi- nance provides how the inspector shall make his inspections, and in section 80, which is as follows. tells how the fees shall be secured:
 "To secure the collection of inspection fees, each licensed plumber shall deposit with the city treasurer the sum of s25, which shall be placed to his credit in book kept for that purpose, and he shall be charged each week with the inspection fees as reported by the inspector of plumb ing. If such plumber should at any time allow his deposit with the treasurer to be- come exhausted, the treasurer shall notify the city engineer, in writing, whose duty it shall be not to issue any more permits to such plumber until he shall have depos- tied with the treasurer sufficient funds to cover any delnquent fees, together with the amount of the deposit as herein re- quired.''
 The plumbers claim that this ordinance is unconstitutional, and that outside of this they are required to pay license. This fight has attracted much attention during the past few months. Several plumbers were arrested for noncompliance with the ordinance and on trial in the in- ferior court were fined.
 In connection with the fight against this ordinance came the attempt to oust Julian Kendrick from the office of plumbing in spector, which ended in a signal failure The plumbers are confident of success in their fight against the ordinance.

AMUSEM ENTS.

Last night at Seals hall, Earl R. Drake, violin virtuoso, assisted by Miss Marie Kern contralto, and Chas. C. Washburn, baritone gave an excellent musical re- cital.
 The entertainment was arranged by a number of ladies for the benefit of the Bir- mingham Public library. The weather doubtless kept number away, but, never theless, about 200 enthusiastic lovers of music were present.
 Mr. Drake is a coming genius in the vio- lin world Of course his magic bowl ''weeped," "cried" laughed" etc., but be- sides this he played several selections that were very agreeable to the uncultivated ear. Several musical critics present said that Mir Drakes playing was better than any they had ever heard, possibly except ing that of Remenyi
 Miss Marie Kern is newcomer in Bir- mingham musical circles, but her sweet rich contralto voice last night immediately won for her place as one Of Birming- hams best singers. Miss Kern is connect ed with the Birmingham conservatory.
 MT. Washburn's voice is too well known for criticism here. He was in his usual good form and came up to the standard his admirers have placed Tor nm.
 Rosabel Morrison comes to Birmingham tonight in the beautiful creation of Car men," The scenic portion of Miss Morri- sons production of "Carmen" is as elab- crate as that of her fathers famous production of Faust" Both attractions are under the same management, and the methods which have been so successfully exploited in MT. Morrison's tours will doubtless achieve similar results with Miss Morrison, whose acting is artistic to the minutest detail. Her company is headed by Edward Elsner, who occupied similar position with MT. Morrison for several years
 MT. Lenett, of the London Zoo and Crys- tai Maze, is in the city. His great shows will be here next week.

HIS DEATH CAUSED SORROW.
Mir. Mudd Was One of the Most Popular Men
 in Jefferson County.

Great was the sorrow in Birmingham yesterday when the news of John Paul Mudd's death was heard. "Doke" Mudd was one of the most popular men in the county, and hiss death was in the nature of a surprise to everyone.
 As stated in yesterdays Age-Herald, he was in his usual good health and spirits all of last week, until Friday, when he be- gan to complain a little and it was Satur- day night before he went to bed. On Sun day he began to grow rapidly worse, and on Monday pneumonia had developed to such an extent that he was taken to the TIillman hospital in Fourth avenue. All day Tuesday his death was expected at any moment, and he finally died at 245 o'clock Wednesday morning.
 His remains were taken to the residence of his sister, Mrs. Florence Jordan, in Fifth avenue and Twentieth street, where they now are.
 The funeral services will be held in the Church of the Advent this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. J. G. Murray, officiating He will be buried in Oak Hill cemetery by the side of his deceased wife.
 The pail bearers this afternoon will be Messrs Thomas H. Benners, F.. H. Caba- miss, Webb Crawford, Frank F. Ellis, w. P. G. Harding, M. A. Porter, R. c. Redus and T. o. Smith.
 Troop D, of the Alabama state cavalry, of which Mr. Mudd was an honorary mem- Der. and which he was at one time captain, will attend the funeral services in body.

BADHAM vS. SALOON MEN
Three Arrested For Using Dead
 Mems License.
CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED
Will Be the Contention of the Back Tax Com miSsioner-WiIl Come Up in the
 Criminal Court.

A fight is on between Back Tax Commits sioner H. L. Badham and certain saloon keepers of Birmingham.
 H. w. Eggler, Frank P. O'Bren and J. P Swift have been arrested on warrants issued out of the court of Justice Ben ners, charging them with engaging in the retail liquor business in the city of Bir- mingham without license after Jan 15, 1897, contrary to law. The warrants were made returnable to the criminal court, and the bonds fixed at $500.
 It is claimed that certain saloons have been operated on "dead mems license.' By this means Back Tax Commissioner Bad ham claims that the county has been de- prived of license taxes, and he is using his efforts to collect it.
 It is said that in several instances par ties who held saloon license have died, the saloons passing into the hands of their re- spective executors, who, not caring to con tinue the business, disposed of the stock and then sold the license separately.
 The state will attempt to show that while a license can go to beneficiary of de- ceased holder and can be used by him, It cannot be transferred to some one else on which to conduct business.
 On the other hand the contention is made by the saloon men that the state has re- ceved the required money for the license for a stipulated period and that the license holds good during that time and is in nowise affected by the death of the holder.
 The case will be watched with much in- terest as an interesting point of law is involved

BIRMINGHAM SOCIETY
 IS IN A FLURRY
AWAITING TIE JOYOUS MARDl GRAS
 SEASON, sn'a
Rex Vulcan III. will Soon Start on His Tour Through the Orient and Thence
 to This City.

Birmingham society is all agog over the approaching Mardl Gras season with it's promises of a plethora of social functions
 Balls, parties, receptions and dinners ga lore have been planned and the season promises to be the gayest in the history of Birmingham.
 Besides the grand Rex ball at the Audi torium on Wednesday night, Feb. B, and the annual carnival ball of the Birmingham Carnival society at Turn Verein hall, on the night of Feb. 22, balls will be given by all clubs and societies, to say nothing of private receptions and carnival par ties'' that are being arranged.
 It is said that some very handsome cos tunes are being made, and it is predicted that the Rex ball at the Auditorium will be the most brilliant affair ever given in this city.
 The merchants parade will be made a feature of the celebration and almost every business house in the city will be repre- scented, besides numerous foreign firms which are represented and do business in this section of the country.
 Inquiries for lodging continue to come in and from present indications the visitors will number many thousand.
 In a few days Rex Vulcan III will em- bark with his full f1otilla en route to Bir- mingham. It was hoped that the Warrior canal would be completed in time to allow his royal highness to make his entire trip by water, but since the royal treasury has not appropriated the necessary ''where- with-all," Rex Vulcan will come by the usual route. Before coming to Birmingham it is thought that he will make a grand tour of the Orient and will, perhaps, spend a few days in the Klondike en route.

FARMER VICTIMS
Identify Randall Jones as Robber at the
 Police Station.

Randall Jones, the negro who was arrest ed by Officers Langston and Brown about a week ago, on the charge of robbery and grand larceny will be tried tomorrow be- fore Judge Feagin.
 It is alleged that Jones has made a spe- cialty of robbing farmers who came to the city and "put up'' at the different wagon yards. A number of these robberies have been reported to the police, and since his arrest several of the victims have identified Jones as the perpetrator of the crimes.
 Yesterday M. M. and J. w. Brooks, two brothers from St. Clair county, who were robbed at McKnights yard about two weeks ago, identified two coats that were found in Jones' possession as their property.
 Jones is "bad lookin'" nigger and is about at the end of his string.

OH! FOR AKLOND|KE ZEPHYR The Man Got Badly Mixed in
 His Dates. HE TH0UGHTIT WAS AUGUST Paced His Room in Rage-SeriOus Appre- hensiOn Felt By Friends as to His
 Mental Condition.

There was a man in Birmingham yester- day who absolutely thought it was August. The poor man was not demented, but he continued to argue in his befuddled mind about dates. He had a faint recollection of Christmas, of New Year resolutions and the like, but things were far from being plain to him.
 The man paced the floor in a rage, he looked at the dates on the newspapers and finally tearing the calendar from the wall he threw the whole business in the waste basket. The people who were near him shook their heads in pity and hinted that there was something wrong in the upper story. At times it seemed that officers would have to be called and the poor man locked up. It was all explained, however, when he rushed frantically from his room and dashed thermometer in hundred fragments against brick wall. "Oh, for a Klondike zephyr, just zephyr" he yell ed.
 It was the weather that got the dates mixed in the poor mans mind.
 Undoubtedly Birmingham has for the past few days experienced the most pecul- jar January weather it has ever had. Over coats have been discarded the cool man
 
 a faint glimmering hope.
 Weather Guesser Jacobs is just clear out of tune. He remembers the awful drubbing he got during the heated season in the summer. He only accounted for it by theo- rizing that the ''hot time in Ohio," has caused similar action of the elements in the south He says the opening of the cam paign in Alabama may also have something to do with it.
 Yesterday was an ideal summer day. A man mopping his brow was not an uncom- mon sight, and everybody was saying "did summer it grew warmer toward the mid dle of the day, and the atmosphere was cooled off late in the afternoon by a heavy shower.
 The statistics of the weather guesser show that no such weather has been felt in Birmingham in January for many years The average temperature yesterday was 73, the highest 75 and the lowest 61 At 8 o'clock it was 6S, at noon 73, and at D. m. 6i The nights cool and very little cov- CT is necessary. With leshy people the night hours are burdensome and many a new years resolution has been cruelty smashed by the weather.

NO OPPOSITION.
Smallpox Inspectors Making Rapid Progress
 in Their Work.

The Birmingham smallpox inspectors are progressing steadily in their work of vacci- nation and are meeting with very little op- position in carrying it out.
 Dr. Magruder has already visited Besse- mer, Blossburg, Ensley, Cardiff, Brazil, Brookside and the mining camps around Bessemer and has established corps of vac chatting surgeons there just as in Bir- mingham.
 He will visit Irondale and vicinity today or tomorrow and the work will be extended until the whole county is covered.
