any during the year, although the Woman's
Auxiliary have increased theirs $3.50. We
trust that in "a year or two the association
will be in a beautiful home of hts own, and
one adapted to our special work; but that
depends upon the lberality of tine Cnrisd
tdan people of This city.
General
Hundreds of young men have been directa
ed to good boarding houses, and almost
daily we have young men looking for boardI
ing places in private families. The secre-
tary would be glad to have the names of
Christian families who could board young
men.
Letters of Introduction have freely been
given to our members who have left and
gone to other cities.
Before closing this report, we want to
thank all the friends who have, in any way,
added to the success of this work, and esr
pecially the city and suburban pastors, our
faithful women's auxiliary and the press
of the city. Let us impress upon you and
upon ourselves the necessity for doing our
utmost to win from sin and to Christ all the
young men of Birmingham If we fail to
do that, we fail in our supreme duty. Let
us both labor and pray with unceasing de-
votion, and God will hear our prayers and
give us many stars in our crown for re,
joicing. Il

weeklies and monthlies. The library of 45O
volumes is often used, but is sadly In need
of some of the latest publications.
social
During last year the members monthly
socials, held the first Friday of each
month, from October to June, proved as
popular as ever. The committeemen's tea
and reception to all the young peoples So
cieties of the Birmingham district added to
the social events of the year.
Friends and friendly intercourse are es-
sential to every true man, and the associa-
tion seeks to develop and promote this
spirit of good fellowship. 1t is not only
meeting place for friends, but for young
men who are seeking to become acquainted
in the city, and who want to find congenial
companions Many a pleasant hour has
been spent with the games and piano.
Those who are "soon to become men,
have not been neglected. One hundred and
forty-seven boys were enrolled as members
of the boys meeting, held on Sundays at
2:30 o'clock. Fifty-one meetings were held,
with total attendance of 1,423. The largest
number present at any service was eighty
nine.
1t is an inspiring sight Ito these boys
conducting and taking part in the Masters
worship. Monthly entertainments We're
also held for the boys, and consisted or
music recitations, talks, stereopt1con
views gramophone, trolley rides, etc. In
March the Woman's auxiliary gave a ban
quet, served in courses to twenty boys, for
regular attendance at the meetings. Gym
nasium classes were held Tuesday after
moons and Saturday mornings, with but Few
boys in attendance. We hope more Will
join in this department this year during
the year nearly all the boys declared their
intention to lead Christian lives, and six
united with various churches.
Finances
To carry on this work last year cost $S,-
267.7s. At the beginning of the year we had
a debt of $685.. 16, which has been reduced 70
less than $500. The young men paid $1,0l4.26,
and the balance was given by the liberal
citizens of the city. This report Is MADE
that those good people may know how their
funds have been expended. When we see
how much good has been done with so little
money, we are sure our friends want the
work ito go on and will assist with their
means and prayers.
Following are the expenses OF the year
past. item by item, and estimates of same
for the new year:

IRON MARKE T
Roger Grown & Co.'S Weekly Review
Giving Features

Cincinnati October 30.-Rogers, Brown IL
Co. have issued the following review of the
iron market for the week ending Saturday,
October rs:
The demand continues heavy for nearly
all qualities and grades of pig iron. There
have been several large transactions in mill
and foundry grades. The coming into the
market at the close of the week of some
very important consumers of foundry irons
for deliveries the first half of 1900, stmu-
lates the already strong market.
Consumption keeps up at a rema rkable
pace and the slightly increased production
is most welcome though insufficient to
reach requirements for current melt.
From some sources we learn that there is
a great scarcity of skilled labor in the steel
works and rolling mills, and from many
points we are informed there are not
enough good moders obtainable for the
work in hand.
The inadequate rolling stocks of the rail-
roads is felt painfully in every pig iron dis
trict and coke center of the county b.
There seems to be intense activity in
every department of trade, and, at this
writing, there are no features of weakness
anywhere.
The country is paying the penalty of neg
ligence in not having made preparation for
the natural growth and development of its
trade, domestic and foreign and is now
awakening to the fact and Tearing further
that this expansion of facilities and provis-
ion of raw material is a process requiring
far more precious time than was dreamed
of by many.
The very heavy buying of Bessemer pig
iron and steel rails during the week. to-
gether with the contracts made by numer-
Gus railroads for cars, prove tremendous
tonic to the already stimulated market,
though fortunately no wild excitement at
tends the phenomenal transactions.

Fired Two Shots at White Man in a
Saloon

Lula Allen, negress, is held at the police
station on a charge of assault with intent
to murder Charles Knigthton, white man,
in saloon on the corner of Eighth avenue
and Fourteenth street last night.
Two shots were fired be- the negro wo-
man, but neither of them struck Knighton.
One of the balls, however, did not miss his
head more than six inches. The affair was
reported to Officers Nix and Disheroon,
and they hurried to the saloon and placed
the woman and Knighton under arrest.
Knighton succeeded in making bond, but
the woman is still irfJail.
1t seems that Eugene Knighton was talk
ing to the woman in the entrance of the
saloon, when his brother asked him not to
speak to such a woman. The woman be-
came enraged, and said some thing to
Knighton, and he threw beer glass at her.
Lula Immediately left the saloon, and, pro-
curing a pistol, came back and opened fire
on him.
