\ GREAT STREET
 RAILROAD SYSTEM
The SpIendidIy Equipped Lines of the Traction Company to Gate City and North
 Birmingham.

The Birmingham Traction Company, one of the two great electric street railway sys- tems of Birmingham, is one of the best equipped electric street railroads in the en- tire South. It's lines not only extend east and west through the city, but to to such suburbs as Woodlawn, Avondale, and Gate City on the east, and to North Birming- ham on the north. It's cars are of the very latest and fastest patterns and the speed made to the suburbs is as fast as the ordi- nary railroad train.
 Besides it's present lines, the Traction Company will probably make other exten- sions in the near future, as Birmingham grows. Its lines run through some of the best residence sections in and about Birm- ingham. It has done much to build up the North Birmingham park and make it a beautiful and attractive pleasure park.
 The Traction Company's lines are built of the best material Very heavy railroad iron is used for the track and it is thor oughy ballasted with slag and stone. The cars, Of Pullman build, are very large and are beautifully finished on the interior. Its power house, which is located in East Bir- mingham, Is said to be one of the best equipped in the country. Its engines and machinery were made right here in Bir- mingham and are among the very. best that could be procured. t
 ffrxt, company are: President, Alex T. London; secretary and treasurer, John London; gen. eral manager, George H. Clark. Its motor- men and conductors are well trained and courteous, and its cars are sought for pleasure, as well as business rides, by the citizens of Birmingham and visitors to the city. S%$

thropy of a number of prominent citizens, to erect substantial buildings in Smithfield a most desirable location. Its work was saddly crippled, however, by a devastating fire short time after which completely de- stroyed the buildings which were only partially insured. temporary hospital was fitted up in the city, which has been partial ly maintained under the auspicies of the or ganization and, though limited in its ca pacity it has done much to relieve distress and sickness. The organization is prepar- ing to erect a splendid building at the cor- ner of Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street at a cost of s90,000.
 St. Vtncents hospital, in charge of he Sisters of Charity, is comparatively a new institution. These noble women, whose self-sacrIfiee has excited the admiration of tke world, came quietly into the city and without ostentation took up their work in temporary quarters established in tho old DeBard elaben residence, corner of Four taenth street and Avenue c, which was elegantly fitted up. Since that time the con- tract for a magnificent building has been let which, when completed, will cost about S250 GOO. Worlxmen are at present engaged in erecting one wing of the building, which will cost about s75,O00. An admirable loca- ton was selected on the South Highlands, away from the noise and hustle of the city where pure air, waited from the surround ing mountains, will aid these gentle women in restoring to health the patients so for tunate as to fall under their loving and devoted care.
 The institution is in charge of Sister Ben edicta, Mother Superior, whose gentle mien spreads an air Of peace and rest around her and stamps her as one of Gods noblest characters.

STEINER BROTHERS
 BANKING HOUSE A Strong Financial Institution 0p- eTated by Wealthy, Gener- ous PubIic-Spirited
 Citizens.

Birmingham is not only noted as a great manufacturing center, but likewise as great business and commercial center. Its banks are among the strongest and best in the south. It has several national banks, three or four state banks and one large private banking institution.
 Messrs. Steiner Brothers probably operate the largest private bank in Alabama. The Steiner Brothers bank has capital stock of $2OO,O0O and surplus of $S90O0. It deals largely in foreign exchange, and probably handles more state, county and municipal bonds than any other bank in the south. president; Sigfried Steiner, president; Leo K. Steiner, cashier.
 Than the Messrs. Steiner there are no more enterprising, progressive knd public spirited men in Birmingham, or indeed, in any other city in Alabama. There is never a public enterprise organized to which they are not among the very first subscribers. They are among the foremost leaders in everything calculated to upbuild Birming- ham. Mr. B. Steiner, the president of the bank, is likewise president of the Com mercial club, and in that capacity has suc- ceeded in bringing many strong enterprises to Birmingham, and in pushing the city for- ward.
 The Steiner brothers own much real es- tate in the city and are, indeed, among the wealthiest, most progressive and best cit izens of Birmingham, and their bank Is be- coming one of the great financial institu- tions of the state. sss

Kindergarten for the children of working women who were compelled to work out It was soon after made an auxiliary of the Mercy Home and its members feel a just pride in the little tots who have been res cued from poverty and degredation and provided with home where they are cared for and taught to live upright lives.
 Miss Bertha Gelders, who has been an active worker in the cause was the first president of the organization, and was suc- ceeded by Mrs. Richard F. Johnston. Un- der the administration of both of these ladies the Creche made rapid strides and has taken its place among the leading charity organizations of the city. It's pres ent officers are:
 President-Mrs. Charles O. Locke

 Hospitals
 Tn connection with the charities of Bir- mingham this report would be incomplete without due mention of the hospitals.
 The Hillman hospital formerly the Char ity hospital, is the oldest institution of it's kind in the city. Organized about ten years ago 1t was soon able through the philan-

often compelled to ask aims of their more fortunate fellow men.
 As-isr usually the case, the charities of Birmingham are largely in the hands of her noble women although a number of well known gentlemen are actively identified with the work.
 The most systematic work is carried on by the United Charities-an organization which is the pride of the city, and which has, through it's officers, brought joy to many saddened heart made sick and SOTO by the bangs of hunger and want.
 The Mercy Home, an institution whose mission appeals to the deepest sympathies, is a place of refuge for the homeless and the fallen, who are thrown upon the mer- cies of cold and selfish world.
 Various other organizations are main- tained by the different churches and sects. but 1t can be truthfully said that creed nor color never enter into the consideration of a worthy applicant by any of these organi- zations.
 United Charities
 The society of the United Charities was organized about twelve years ago, and is in a measure the central body around which the other organizations reyolve. It's headquarters are in the Thompson build ing, corner of Twenty-second street and Third avenue, which are kept open daily from S:30 a. m. to noon. The office is in charge of Mrs. H. M. Johnson the super intendent, who, perhaps, more than any other person in the city, is brought in direct contact with the direst poverty and suffer- ing. The membership of the organization is made up of the leading people in busi- ness and social circles many of whom are actively engaged in the work of relief for suffering humanity.
 Under the laws governing the society, tho city is divided into districts, each in charge of committee of ladies residing therein whose duty it is to investigate all cases in their district and to report the result of such investigations to headquarters, where relief is furnished if the case be worthy.
 The officers of the society are as follows: l President-Mrs. L. Crozier French. 1 Vice e-President-Mrs. J. c. Henley.

 "Well as I was a-saying, Clark used to sit in the little game in the Silver club. up in Granite street. He generally played with Marcus Daly, Haggin, Hearst, or some one of those big fellows, and they enjoyed themselves. On one occasion a New York drummer dropped into the club while the club was on. He had a card with a two weeks run on the club. Well, he see Daly, Haggin, Clark and another fellow sitting in the game, and he sashays up, pertlike, n says:
 "sweH, gentlemen, any objection to my taking a. handT

 Several Montanians have been guests of the Imperial hotel for the last few days, and they all knew United States Senator William A. Clark when he worked lin the mines about Butte, clad in a red shirt. They are all proud of the senator, who has made a reputation as an art connoisseur by his recent purchase of a forty-two thousand dollar oil painting and by the prospectus of the new palace which he is about to erect on upper Fifth avenue. near the Museum of Art.

Fearless Women of Arizona.

Arizona is full of progressive wom-
Ell. There are women ranch ers, va
1ueros, bank cashiers, stable keepers
and butchers. The latest acquisition
to the list is Miss Sarah NJ Burks,
twenty five years old. She carries the
United States mail over the star route
from st. Johns to Jimtown, making
the trip twice q week. Tie distance
is fifty-two miles. The road is said
to be desolate. What streams there
are are poisoned with alkali, and the
dreariness of the country is shown b y
the fact that no vegetation can grow
there, and only the Indians are ever
seen along the trail. Miss Burks makes
her trips alone, as q rule, and fears
not, for she is fatalist, and says that
death Will not come until it's appoint
ed hour. She is a crack shot, aud al
ways goes armed. She rode over the
perilous route first in 1898, when her
father, WHO was then mail carrier, was
ill.

that moulds her, rather than her char

But my theory is that the dress makes
