Red cros. and Red Tape.

f1dTpST weekly.
There has been a good deal of apparent
friction between the Red Cross and the med
ical authorities of the army but we are in
clined to think that IL has been more an
parent than real. We know that many Of
the best surgeons OF the army have accept
ed the Red Cross aid and relief not only
willingly. but gladly. and we have read tes-
tmonials written from the front by reeu-
lar surgeons 70 the efficiency of Miss Bar
ton and her aids. A good deal of trouble
has been caused by the red-tape system pre-
vailing in the army, but this system is not

any executive department. II comes from
the disposition of Congress TO interfere in

that not a dollar can be expended and not
bit of the property of the government
used without following certain minute d.
rections contained in statutes, except at the
personal risk of the man primarily respon-
sible. An instance OF the petty character
or congressional interference In admins

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. :
The Nine Hour Law Endorsed at Meet
 ing Sunday Afternoon.

well attended meeting of Birmingham Typographical union No. 1O4 was held Sun day afternoon, and important business transacted.
 The nine hour law which was recom- mended by the international organization and which will soon go into effect, was taken up and endorsed. President Rogers of the Chattanooga union who was sent out in the interest of the law, was pres ent at the meeting and made a strong ap- peal for the measure, clearly bringing out the benefits to the craft.
 On motion, an assessment of 2 per cent as long as necessary was levied for the defense of the law,
 An assessment was also levied to defray the expenses of delegate to the interna- tional meeting to be held shortly in Syra- cuse, N. r.

beles of his native state an equal show with those of the east.
 Should the hero distribute few samples in Alabama it may hurt the gubernatorial trade. but then what is an ordinary gov ernors kiss compared with the smicl smack of a real hero. Hobson is described as being handsome and his photo bears this out. He Is an earnest young man who never uttered other than a prayer, or word of love. The kiss of an angel would pale, and "our gov" really won't be in 1t when Hobson to Birmingham comes. He is also gallant gentleman and will proba- bly retire as the band discourses, "The Conquering Hero Comes.'
 How They WoyId bolt
 "Oh, just let me at him, I wouldn't hint. I'd just kiss him. That's what I'd do."
 This was from a pretty brunette.
 "Oh, that wouldn't be half so nice row on the lake, a nook under a shaded veranda, or something romantic, you know"
 This was from the beautiful blonde with the perfect figure and the ianguid eyes.
 "I know what I'd do. I'd go right down to the station and when MT. Hobson got out from the iron gate I'd grab hlm ana hug him good before any of the other girls had a chance"
 This was the plan of a saucy, brown haired girl.
 There would only be one danger attached to Hobson visiting Birmingham. All the girls would want a chance and his just spirit would compel him to forbid none. It may be the constant kiss would not wear away the lips, but it has been argued that this case is similar to the wearing away of "our guy" is in good health and has just been reelected.
 Should the hero place Birmingham on his itinerary the sweet girls will insist that the nectar of the gods be placed on the menu card.

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL INTERESTED
Steamship Lines Have Discontinued the War Risks-Rendered Unnecessary by Destruction of Spanish Fleet
 Racket of the Rail

Application has been filed with the secre- city for the charter of the Canton Aber- deen and Nashville Railroad company. The proposed route of this road is from West Point, Miss, across the border into Fayette county of this state, thence through Lamar and Marion counties. It will touch the Kansas CIty, Memphis and Birmingham railroad at Winfield.
 Sooner or later it is proposed to run the road on to Decatur over the site of the old Decatur and Danville road, then over partially constructed road to Fayetteville Tenn, and then on to Nashville.
 The line from Winfield to West Point has already been surveyed, and though Captain White would not talk freely on the subject yesterday, it is thought that the plans of the company will be put into execution as soon as possible.
 1t is said that President Fish and Vice. President Harahan of the Illinois Central are interested in the road One thing is certain: that the Illinois Central has for long time ben trying to tap the coal fields of Alabama, and an excellent mining region has been selected in the coal fields of Marion county Already the Mississippi Valley Coal company has opened up mines a few miles north of Winfield. The Cam ton, Aberdeen and Nashville railroad owns 11,O0O acres of these rich lands.

COLONY SCHEME.
Prof. Henry at the Bottom of It-Plans
 Not Perfected.

It was rumored on the streets yesterday that Prof. M. V. Henry, who, in the gen- eral election of August 1, ran for probate judge of this county and was defeated, in- tended to organize a party of coonists in this state and emigrate to the Indian ter rtory
 Prof. Henry when seen last night said that, whatever his plans were he was not ready to divulge them yet, as they were by no means perfected. But he certainly intended, said he, to go out in the terri tory and look over that country, and that a number of his friends would accompany him. After this trip of exploration, so to speak, it would then be time to talk of a colony from Alabama.
 It is said that the land which Prof. Hen ry and his friends propose to examine is situated near Ardmore, I. T.

,~rsuiafs were received in this city yess terday announcing that from this time on the Ocean Steamship company and the Merchants and Miners Trans. .oi tatisn company have removed all war risks from their vessels, owing" the circular says, ito the complete destruction of the Span- ish fleet"
 Since war was declared the United States steamship lines operating up and down the Atlantic coast and many of the trans Atlantic liners have been having heavy war risks written for all of their ships and cargoes, but now that there Is no longer any danger from Spanish warshps or privateers, tLis heavy expenditure of money for war risks was considered en- tirely useless; hence the circular.
 The Old Dominion Steamship company and the Clyde Steamship company have also discontinued these war risks The four lines mentioned are the only ones operating between the Atlantic ports of the northern and southern states The lines running between New York and New Orleans and other ports on the Gulf were discontinued entirely at the beginning of the war, and will probably not resume .op- erations until peace Is declared. There is still too much danger for merchantmen in passing through the straits of Florida, owing to the blockade of Havana by the American fleet.
