women. Hobson Is the ideal hero Of the
American public"
| Miss Lucy Morrow, daughter of DR.. Geo.
M. Morrow. continues to win distinction on
the stage. She has made great hit as the
southern girl in Cumberland 81 this sea-
son. and New York is enthusiastic in
praise of the fair daughter of the south.
She recently played in Pittsburg. and the
Dispatch of that city has these words of
praise regarding her:
Lucy Morrow, as Alice Ansley,' is a be-
witching, pretty and graceful young wo-
man, whose personal magnetism brought
her the sympathy and admiration of the
audience. She acts the part of the tender
hearted southern maiden in way that
! could not be improved upon"
All of which is most pleasing to Miss
Morrow's great number of friends in Bir-
mingham.
Il see in one of the magazines" observed
the man on the trolley car, that at the
very moment the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor Captain Sigsbee was
thoughtfully gazing upon sealed letter
which his wife had given him to mail six
months before. lie had been looking over
an accumulation of letters, and was horror
stricken to find this particular letter from
lis wife, who had charged him with the
| mailing of it,"
Good thing for Sigsbee the ship blew
sup" remarked the cynic.
"Why?"
Because his wife would have blown him
up Just the same Spaniards saved her the
task"
They were talking about the recent finan-
eial troubles of the Birmingham rolling
mill. and specializing as to real causes, OPP
Grating to bring about the unexpected anu
apparently unnecessary assignment OF the
great Industrial plant. They talked about
tricks and juggling. bad business methods
and so on. Finally quiet man in the car
declared that in his opinion the assignment
was an attempt to squeeze somebody.
Squeeze Hetty Green?"
NAV, Hetty Green is too old 10 squeeze.
What are you talking about?"
Then they chuckled quietly and went
their several ways to supper
The impression grows that Mr. w. L.
Wallace, the big building contractor of
Sharon, Pa, is really in Birmingham look
ing into the proposition to erect mere
great office building, or grand hotel. some
persons say that Mr.. Wallace has plans for
an office building ten or dozen stories
high. There are others who claim that
an immense hotel is being considered.
Eastern capital is behind it all. and tn ere
would be no lack of funds. Such struc-
ture would require a year to build and by
that time Birmingham will require all sorts
of additional buildings of the first class. 1t
is more than probable that something inn
portant will come out of Mr.. Wallaces
visit.
''There is more gold in Tallapoosa than
you could shake a stick att said Judge w.
e. Horne. I'VE have on our property in
that county discovered vein sixty feet
thick bearing at least $4 of gold to the ton.
Some of the ore in the district has assayed
SIS a ton, and the tallings from the old
working show fully SO. There is no doubt
about the district being exceedingly rich in
the yellow metal, and Tallapoosa Is bound
to become one of the great gold mining
centers of the United States"
col. Brett Randolph is lying seriously i'll
at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr..
John B. Reid, 1900 Twentieth street, a fact
that will cause great regret throughout
this district. Col. Randolph has been ailins
for several weeks.
w. III. Thorps of Montgomery, and w. II.
Thorpe of St. Louis, two men with identl-
cal names, occupy room together at the
