Firecrackers In China.

In China irecrackers can be purchas-
ed at a cost of so cents for 10, 900, al
though the best quality commands twice
this price. This Is but little more than
the actual cost Of manufacture. The
straw paper used is of the cheapest
grade. The powder is also Of cheap and
inferior quality, which probably &C.
counts for so many "sizzers" in every
pack.
Most Of the f1recrackers are made by
women and children at their homes, and
rapid workers are able to earn from 5
to 7 cents per day. An expert can earn
10 cents, while a novice receives only
his board for the first four years. The
wages paid in this trade are about the
same as those paid the common laborer.
Besides being unhealthy, the work of
making firecrackers is more OF less dan.
gerous, yet the hours of labor are from
6 a. M. to II p. m. seven days in the
week.

A Handsome Compliment.

Mrs. r. A. Shaw last summer de-
voted herself quite studiously to the
operation of a camera, studying ev-
cry phase of practical photography,
until the work she did with a Aka
Promo B was by her friends consid-
cred the very best. Mr.. Shaw deals
in Promo cameras made by the
Rochester Optical company, and last
fall in writing the house he sent
them a photograph of c. H. Burch-
ards daughter, Genevieve, as a
sample of work by a Promo B. 1t
is certainly an excellent likeness of
the prettiest little girl in town, and
what was Mr.. Shaw's surprise, when
the handsome 1899 announcement
of the K. o. company reached him
the photo of Genevieve vas repro
duced in full tone. That this COM
pany should thus choose one of Mrs.
Shaw's pictures as a sample of ex-
cellence is one of the highest COM
pliments they could possibly pay
her. Under the picture of Gene.

doing, papa?" A good many peo-
pie who know her papa have been
often obliged to ask him the same
question.

A Distressing Outlook.

A little Cleveland girl was greatly
worried by the misfortune of a favorite
playmate. The latter injured her knee
by a fall, and for a time it was feared
she might lose the limb. Happily this
contingency was avoided, and in time
the sufferer completely recovered. But
when the outlook was dark indeed the
sympathetic girl burst in on her nam.
ma M day with the following excited
query:
"Oh, mamma, did you know it was
Bella's vaccination leg that was
hurted?"
No, mamma didn't know 1t.
well, it is, " cried the little sympa'
thizer, land, oh. mamma, just think,
If they cut off her leg she'll have to be
vacoinated all over againl"-Cleveland

SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE
 EXPECTED TODAY
Committees of Carpenters and Contractors Were in Session Up to a Late
 Hour Last Night.

It now looks as if the carpenters strike will soon be at an end. A conference be- tween a committee from each side was held last night, and though no definite con riusion was reached, carpenters and coil tractors alike expect an amicabe settle ment to be reached this morning when the conference resumes its work.
 President Krebs, of the Builders and Traders Exchange, and Vice President Ogletree, of the Carpenters union, met yesterday and after a lengthy discussion decided to try to bring together a commit tee from both factions and let them settle the strike A meeting of the carpenters was immediately held in the Bricklayers' haH and a committee, including MT. Ogle- tree and President Wollenhaupt, was aD- pointed to confer with the contractors The builders took a similar action, and 1t was agreed that conference should take place in the Florence hotel at D. m. Both committees were promptly on hand and for two hours and half tried to reach an agreement An adjournment was then had until this morning.
 Neither side would give out any informal tion concerning what had happened, but the carpenters outside of the committee say that no agreement was reached. The carpenters committee was instructed to do what they thought best in the matter, provided it did not conflict with the reso- lutions which had been adopted as whole
 Tho carpenters were in session all day yesterday, and initiated many new mem- bers. At the headquarters it was stated that they would not concede anything to the contractors. They would hold out un- til their original demand was complied with If it took all summer. The contractors were equally as stubborn, though one of the carpenters said they had agreed to change their time for allowing the scale from October Il to October 1.
 No one can foretell what Will result from fine conference. but it is generally expected that some definite understanding will be reached today.

MRS. WHEELOCK
 DIED YESTERDAY She Never Recovered from Her
 Injuries. WAS RUN OVER BY A ORAY Has Not Regained Consciousness Since Saturday-The Severe Blow on the Head Brought on Fa-
 tai Brain Trouble
WAS RUN OVER BY A DRAY

After nearly four days of unconscious ness, Mrs. Charles Wheeloek passed away at o'clock yesterday morning.
 She was struck in the street by a runa- way horse on Saturday afternoon, and she never afterwards recognized those about her, never, in fact opened her eyes to the scenes of this world. A blow upon the head doubtless led to brain trouble that nature could not overcome She was sur rounded from the moment of injury by loving friends. Her husband and daughter and sisters and nieces never left her bed side until the vital spark had fled.
 Mrs. Wheelock's maiden name was Anna Cassity Her father owned a cotton fac tory in Florence. Ala, where the deceased was born. Her mother was Miss Left wich, of Virginia and she was a sister of the wife of Judge Wood, of Florence. She was married to Major Wheelock, the we'll known architect, in 1876, and they came to this city in 1882 She soon afterwards be- came a member of the First Methodist church. Her sisters. Mrs. H. c. Vaughn and Mrs. Hardie Brown, also live in Bir- mingham.
 Mrs. Wheelock was a devoted mother. and her hand was always open to the needy. She was never so happy as when she was working for others, but she al- ways preferred to do good by stealth.
 The funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock today at the First Methodist church. In these services Dr. Kelly will be assisted by pr. Murray, of the Church of the Advent.
 In her younger days Mrs. Wheelock gave much of her time to the cultivation of her undoubted musical talents, and sine never wholly abandoned the study of the art in some form. She leaves q wide circle of friends who will lament her sudden and untimely death

THE BIG RACES
 COME OFF TONIGHT
Peabody and Hickman Will
 Meet.

The big bicycle meet between Peabody and Hickman will be run at the Coliseum track tonight and local enthusiasts are looking forward to some great sport.
 Peabody was out on the track again yes terday afternoon and is now entirely free from the soreness experienced from his long railroad trip. Though he did not exert himself yesterday he rode few laps at a clip that almost startled those who had gone out to see him practice.
 Hickman is also in good condition. The little Birmingham rider has been training hard in anticipation of his race with the champion of the United States and his trainers say he is now riding his fastest. Hickman's friends say that he naturally feels a little nervous in talking man like Peabody, but they thing he will be per- fectly at ease when he once gets on the track.
 Peabody says he feels perfectly at home on the Birmingham track now and does not think he will experience any difficulty on that score.
 Besides the match races between Hick- man and Peabody there will be one-mie open amateur in which all the local riders will participate.
