Two or three weeks ago Mr.. Henry
White, who is, without doubt, the most
accomplished cooper in this state, if
not in America, bought a bottle of
hartshorn for family use. 1t was placed
on the clock shelf, and two or three
days ago, while Mrs. White was tenn
porarily absent from the house, young
Herbert climbed up and got possession
Of the bottle. Later on he was found
in the back yard and had got the cork
out and was about TO drink the con-
tents for lemonade. With wild shrek
OF terror the mother dashed forward
and wrested the deadly bottle from his
innocent hands, and then fell uncon-
scious. Our reporter was almost in
stanly on the spot, as he always is.
but the grim specter of death had
spread his wings and gone in search Of
other prey. That is, young Herbert had
been drawn back from the edge OF the
grave. IL is far from our purpose 10
blame Mrs. White, whose heroism Is
beyond question, but we must say that
there is n warning in this incident

can't be too careful OF Il. One gulp

1t was reported around town Monday
afternoon that Mrs. Aaron Schemer-
horn, wife of our courteous and big
hearted blacksmith, had broken two
ribs while leaning over to dip water
out of the rain barrel. Our reporter
hurried to the house and found the re-
port false. 1t probably arose from the
fact that she cut her foot on piece
of broken glass the same day. She
has assured us that she will be at
prayer meeting Thursday night as
usual, though she may limp little.
Let us thank Providence for her mar
row escape.

C0osa River Convention.

The convention that met on Tuesday in Gadsden was an interstate affair for Rome and portion of Georgia are also inter- esed in the opening of the Coosa river to barge navigation. Rome has no objections to an Alabama river or seaport if thereby 1t can gain lower rates of transportation its products. Congressman Maddox, of Rome, and Mayor Herzberg. of the same city. and other leaders of thought and ac- ton in the Georgia portion of the Coosa valley were warmly greeted at Gadsden by representative men from the middle and lower sections of the long and splen- did stream. Senator Morgan was present, speaking at length in the morning, and at the banquet in the evening. Alabama $ senior senator never tires when efforts are to be made for the up-building of his state He presented in facts and figures the brown ores and coal and marbles and other treasures whose development depends upon the development of the Coosa.
 The shoals of the Coosa lie in a distance of about fifty miles immediately below Gadsden. When these are overcome there will be a waterway from the sea to the fiesff-t-- of northeast Georgia. Georgia will thus be compelled to pay tribute to Ala bama, and northeast Georgia is not only willing but anxious. The resolutions else where presented should command the support of all Alabamians, for the improve ment of the Coosa means the improvement of a large section of the state.

PIG IRON AND pKCsPEK,yy
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
 A country may produce much gold and silver, and yet be poor and unprogresslve. It may possess all the riches of Golconda and Peru, and yet its people be only half civilized. The metal which connotes civili- zation and progress is pig iron. The coun- try whose inhabitants make and consume per capita an increasing quantity of that homely and unpre tentious metal is enioy- ing prosperity and is accommodating perman- ent riches. The list of the necessary and useful article into which iron enters is un- ending. The increased production of iron means that all those articles, from loco- motive to a watch spring, are being pur- chased more freely. In 1850 the per capita production of pig iron in the United States was only 54 pounds. In 1880 it was 13J pounds. In 1890 it was about 300 pounds. pounds. When production decreases, as in 1893, it is evident that hard times are pre- vailing When production begins increas- ing, as it did in 1895, it is evident that prosperity is returning Pig iron is an infallible barometer. The output of that metal for the year ending June 90 last was more than double the output for the year ending on the corresponding date in 1891. A greaty increased production of steel is a necessary sequence of the large output of iron. In 1898 6,6O9,OOO tons of Bessemer steel were made, against 5,475,0 900 in 1897. In 17S9 Pennsylvania representative stated proudly, when pleading for a protective duty on steel, that there was furnace in that state which making 230 tons of that metal annually, and which, with a little further encouragement, would supply enough for the consumption of the union. The demands of the union have increased since then

------------------ INCREAsED TONNAGE

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
 The number of vessels arriving at Chi cago is about three-fourths of what it was twenty years ago, and an inspection of the arrivals alone would give the impression that the great lake port was declining. But the tonnage of the arrivals has nearly doubled. The explanation lies in the rapid increase of the size of vessels. In 1879 the average size of the vessels arriving in the port of Chicago was 326 tons; in 1889 it was just under 800 tons; In 1893 it was 623 tons. Since then there has been a remarkable construction of large vessels, and though many of the smaller and older vessels arc still in service the average size last year was S01 tons. As the older vessels dsap- pear from the service this average must increase rapidly, for a great part of Ihe. new vessels and most of the current con- struction are of heavy tonnage During these twenty years the ratio of Chicago arrivals to the total tonnage passing De- troit has varied little, but the development of Lake Superior trade, due to opening up of new iron ore districts and the improve-' ment of the St. Mary's canal, has been. enormous Twenty years ago the tonnage through the St. Mary's Falls canal was less than half the tonnage arrived at Chicago; last year it was more than twice as great.

Dewey's TriumphaI Reception.

In the chief city of the land will be begun tomorrow, even today, a celebration that will assuredly be recorded in the history of the times as a striking event. This eele- bration does not mean that the work in Manila Bay on May morning was par 9icularly difficult; nor does it mean that George Dewey is the only great sailor that the country has ever known; much less does it mean that he is the only brave sail or in the country's navy-it means none of these things. Il is tribute to the worth of the man and to duty un1inchingly and patiently done.
 There is no need of undertaking the vic tory of that May morning. It was complete fin every respect It was so conducted that American blood was scarcely shed a all, although a very considerable fleet, anchor ed under the guns of fortifications, was sent to the bottom of the bay. But greater than the victory were the patience and tact and skill exhibited at his post for over a year, holding at his mercy the city of Manila, and ruling against all corners, in cludfng von Dederich, the splendid bay he had conquered. And when the army came to his relief he eo-operated with it, and aided in conquerng the archipelago that has since by treaty become American ter ritory.
 There is mo need at this point to discuss the wisdom of the treaty or the wisdom of the administration policy in the Philip pines. Over these matters Adbiral Dewey has no influence. They were adopted with out his advice. His own views as to them are not definitely known But it is known that he renamed at his post refusing to come home where honors al all times awaited him. He remained at his post a full year because he saw duties ahead that needed to be met. This sailor-man, who is ever modest, now comes home to receive the honors of country that knows when duty Is fully performed, and that knows how to appreciate it. America has had many heroes in her history, but never one that was more modest or one that was more faithful to duty than George Dewey was from the time he received the order ito find and destroy the Spanish fleet to the time 3 .sasu. .eter when his services were .sw!5nger needed in the hot, damp climate of the Philippines. That stay of a year after the victory had been won Is the keynote of the celebration that will fill the streets of New York. and the minds of a great people in every part of the country, during the remaining days of the week.

Boer's Capacity for ProlOnging War.

The Boers can, whether they are able to put in the field sO,OoO men, or 5O,OOO men. beyond a doubt prolong a war. It is not reasonable to assume that they can in the long run whip the British empire, the wealthiest and, in many other respects the strongest power on earth today; but it is reasonable to assume that in defensive war fare in their own rugged country the Boers can put upon the British an expensive, be- cause prstracted, job,
 If the Boers consider war inevitable it is plainly their duty to take the offensive, before transports can land 50,000 English troops The British line of advance win undoubtedly be through or from Natal, be- cause the defence from Port Natal to Pre- toria is only 400 miles, against 1000 miles from Capetown. On the Natal route is a railroad tunnel, known as Laing's Nels tunnel. It Is near the Transvaal line. and tne control of this tunnel may perhaps bring on the initial struggle of the war. Majuba Hill is in the neighoorhood of gaing's Nek, and when the battle was fought in 1881 the railroad had not been

tErnoDIsT EPIsuopAl CHURCH

 A Ra urging the union of the two ##s# Episcopal churches was read 5. m ' of the Chicago Methodist a. a# week The plea probably Htl . fn,H l. but it is a little strange tra# rance of the cause of
 #K4 church in 1SA should not H#. ###a we'd by reunion long ra#=
 s of the split. When the 1#s .H.eH e it's appearance in tn close of the last eel anti-slavery at the S, north. In that it fo. aU teachings faith fully Bisho le himself unpopu- lar in Virgin .ls protests against the crying sin of ,iavery. Members of the church were advised to emancipate their slaves. and those who bought and sold them were liable to expulsion The dis cipine proved that shareholders should not hold official positions-shoud not be preachers or elders. But after 1880 the anti-slayery sentiment in the south weak ened and the pro-slavery sentiment gained strength The southern states began en- acting laws to make the emancipation of slaves almost impossible. The rules of the church were modified, so as to provide that the mere ownership of slave property in states where the laws did not admit of emancipation, and allow a slave freedom, should not disqualify a person from being a minister.
 In 1S44 the general conference confirmed the decision of the Baltimore conference, which had suspended a minister for fail ure to free slaves obtained by marriage. The decision was based on the fact that the Maryland laws allowed manumssion. The same general conference voted that Bishop Andrew of Georgia, who, subse- quent to his election, had acquired slaves through his wife, should desist from the exercise of his ministry while this slave holding impediment remained. Then the delegatf from a number of southern con- ferences resolved that a continuance of the jurisdiction of the general conference over the southern conferences was incon- sistent with the success of the ministry in the slave-holding states The following year the Methodist Episcopal church, South, was organized, and there was peaceful division of property.
 Slavery has been dead for generation. There is no reason why the two branches of the church should not come together and enjoy the greater strength and n- f1uence which union would give. There are no differences of creed. The only obstacle to union is the fact that disunion has ex- 1sted for over half a century. The two branches have begun to draw together. Ihere is a confederating committee of the two general conferences which does good Work, but better work could be done if the long separation came to an end.

DEWEY WONT ACCEPT

Fron a Washington Letter.
 q have the best reasons for asserting that Admiral Dewey will not accept the house in Washington which it is proposed to give him." said a navy officer at the Army and Navy club. '1 don't exactly mean to say he will not accept it, but do mean he will not accept it as home for himself. If accepted at all it will be for the purpose of making it a home for sick and disabled seamen and sailors. That he will found a home of this character l have not the slightest doubt, and when he does he will be held in even higher admiration and regard than now, if such a thing is possi- ble To a brother officer in this city the admiral has written as much. Those who know him know he is in no way greedy or selfish, and has a heart as large as any mans. Just put it down that Admiral Dewey will not accept the house for his own use. Among other things you know, the admiral is a widower, and l have no idea he has the least thought of ever mar rying again. Admiral Dewey prefers club life and does not want a home."

PASSING OF TIE nRuNRARp

From the Dallas News
 Drinking men come high in any line of business but entirely too high in railroad ing. The railway companies of the United States have lost millions of dollars be- cause of drunkenness of their employees. The book of rules. followed rigidly by the New York Central Railway company, con- tains the following: "Tae use of intoXicat- ing drink on the road or about the prem ises of the corporation is strictly forbidden. No one will be employed or continued in employment who is known to be in the habit of drinking intoxicating liquor.' So it is on other roads.
