ST. Distaf's Day.

The 9TH of January, which follow.
Twelfth day, was in old times jokingly
called ST Distaff's day because the
spinning was supposed to be resumed
says the Baltimore Sun.
The plowmen, who were not so will
ing to resume their occupations as the
women were theirs, used to set the flax
on fire, in consequence of which the
women would throw pals of water up
on them.
In early days ladies of high degree,
as well as farmers wives and daugh-
tiers, were accustomed to handle the dis
taft and spindle, and the latter We're
the emblems of womanhood. The fol-
lowing little stanza is appropriate to
the season:
Partly work and partly play
You must work on ST. Distaff g day.
From the pillow soon free your team,
Then come home and fother them.
If the maids a-Spinning go,
Burn tho flax and fire the tow.
Bring in pals of water then;
Let the maids bewash the men;
Give ST. Distaff all the right.

Gets SO cross it makes her mad.

Somethin, little girl, to you;
Thinks better whip you well,
Says you're good and bad a spell.
I amt home all day to see,
So don't know how bad you be,
But couidn't bear to whip her
Whea>1 see her sweet lips curl,
For she's such a very little
Such tiny, little grill
sWouldn't mind word today!"
'Spect that's what her ma will say;
Just as bad as bad could be,
'Cept in little spells. you see."
Mother tells me that there child
Sets her sometimes almost wild.
Won't punish her bit?
Thinks shes better after it.
But l couldn't bear TO whip her
When l see her sweet lips curl,
For she's suoh = very little
Such tiny, little girl!
Thinlin of her all day long,
With her laughter and her song,
But your mother says it true
Fad mans got a hold of you.
How about it, little miss,
With the rosy lips to kiss?
Couldn't punish her a bit,
And that Just clean settles it.
But couldn't bear to whip her
When I see her sweet lips curl,
For she's such very little
Such tiny, little girl!

THE DISTRICT COURT
The Complicated Case OF Newman,
Boyd And Others.

The case of Newman, Boyd and
others, which has been on trial IN th e
district court for the pact four days,
was submitted, finally to the jury on
special issues.
The jury found the issues in keeping
with the facts brought out in the evid-
ence and.Judge Walthall will in all pro-
liability render his decision Monday
The case was very complicated and
attracted considerable interest.
In November '96 Boyd sold TO E, w.
Rankin lot of cattle for which he paid
White, Cargill and Williams of Kansas
City. The draft was endorsed by b.
L Newman. 1t was sent forward for
payment when the cattle purchased by
Rankin were sent to Deming, thereup-
on Rankin wired White, Corg1ll and
Williams not to pay the draft and it
was protested. Boyd had drawn on
thousand dollars which with
cost and expense of collec-
ton amounted to about five thousand
dollars. Newman sued on the draft
and recovered the full amount and
his attorneys after receiving the
money were earnished by Rankin.
They sent Newman S5,OOO.and held
back the balance subject to the garnish-
ment. Boyd sued Newman to recover
the money "lthnelo Ano bne
held that Kansas City court &C.
quired no jurisdiction over the: funds by
garnishment as the funds belonged to
Newman and not to Boyd.
Rankin sued Boyd claiming title to
cattle.
It is believed that the court will
give judgment for the amount of
funds held in Kansas City, but will
hold that the court in suit of Rankin
against Boyd is without the jurisdic-
ton of the court.

MILITARISM
In Its Worst Form, Said to Prevail
at Wardner

at Wardner.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1O.--In q let
ter to the Call from Wallace, Idaho.
Patrick Reddy, prominent San Fran
cisco lawyer who has been retained by
the miners union of Wardner writes:
"Militarism in its worst form is
rampant in the Occur D'Alene. Men
not connected with the recent riots
have been imprisoned on the slightest
pretexts. Freedom of speech and of
the press is suspended.
ga prisoner named Clemens, who is
dying in the ''bull pen," is denied the
privilege of seeing his relatives or q
priest for ebsolution. The press dis
patches are extremely misleading. Con-
ditions at Wardner are something aw-
full to contemplate and there is strong
demand for searching inquiry"

1.-THE RLAYe

Henri Grissett, under whose direction
 Miss Eugenie Blair is playing "A Lady of Quality" tllis season, is in the city making arrangements for the appearance of that talented actress at OtBrlen's on September 20 Miss Blair is only making a few cities
 in the south this year, among them Att lanta, Birmingham and New Orleans. From
 the latter city she will go to Omaha to play a week during the exposition. She will then continue her western tour, going as far west as San Francisco. The leading part in "A Lady of Quality" Is admirably suited to Miss Blair. She made her debut in the play last season, and scored an !n- stantaneous success. Some trouble was had with Julia Arthur, who contended for territorial rights for the piece, but this has all been settled, and Miss Blair will play it throughout the season. She was seen in Birmingham last season shortly after her first appearance in the new role, and capti- vated a large audience. The attraction is ssuperbly staged, and gives ample opportu
 nifty for Miss Blair's splendid emotional talents. She is said to be as good and better in some parts than Julia Arthur.
 She is great favorite here, and her ap- pearance will be one of the treats of the season. special Wednesday matinee will

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING
Representatives of Eastern Insurance
 Companies Will be Present

Tne special meeting of the Board of committee appointed to take up the ques- ton of better insurance rates promises to be of more than ordinary interest.
 It is understood that several representa- tives of large eastern insurance companies will be present as well as the representa- lives of the Southeastern Tariff association. It is said that the tariff association has in- timated that the action of the Board of Trade was surprise to them and that they are willing to rearrange rates satis- factory to the merchants, but it is doubtful if this can now be done, if other arrange ments can be made.
 It is claimed by members of the Board of Trade that the Southeastern Tariff as- sociation raised their rates to offset the proposed change in the rating of the city to be made when the fire department is strengthened and there is a strong senti- ment to place insurance with companies outside the "combine, through local agents.
 In the event that some definite proposi- ton is submitted at tonight's meeting, which should meet with the favor of the merchants, a rate war is not <nprobable as it is thought that the tariff association will not be willing to give up their Bir- mingham business without hard fight
 There are other phases of the question which will probably be brought out at to- nights meeting. a

NEW HOTEL IS
 A PROBABILITY
Fox's Sons Pay S10,500 For
 Two Lots
ADJOINING THEIR BIG STORE
At the Corner Fourth Avenue and Nine teenth Street et-Considering Matter
 Building Addition and Ma
 king Modern Hotel.

J. Fox's Sons yesterday paid $1o,500 for two lots adjoining their building on the corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street and will probably begin the erection of large hotel on that corner within few weeks One of the lots fronts forty feet in Fourth avenue and the other fifty feet in Nineteenth street. The property was purchased from s. W. John. The pres ent building owned by FoX's Sons fronts 100 feet in Nineteenth street and extends fifty feet in Fourth avenue. With the pur- chase of the new property the firm will now have q lot fronting l4O feet and extend- ing back 100 feet.
 It is stated that at an early date they will begin the erection of addition to their present building and will use the upper stories for a modern hotel. The upper floors of the building are now used as halls and studios and it will require but d small amount of work to arrange them into bed rooms and parlors.
 Receiving ConS.deraiion
 A rumor that the purchase by Fox's Sons meant the building of new hotel gained eredence rapidly. Mr. Fox when questioned about the matter, said that the proposition of converting the building into hotel was receiving his careful consider alton. He did not state. however, that 1t would positively be done. MT. Fox said that modern hotel was badly needed in Birmingham. and that the fact of the firm having paid S1O,5OO for two lots adjoining their present building meant that the mat ter was being duly considered. He said fur ther that if the firm decided to erect the new building and use it as hotel, if would be fitted up in the most modern style throughout. The latest model of elevators would be put in and baths would be at tached to nearly all the rooms. The amount 10 be expended in. case the addition would be built was not stated.
 If Fox's Sons decide to build the hotel the work will probably begin at once
