After considerable negotiation and with the approbation of the executive committee succeeded in purchasing this property for sS5O 900 apart from the inventory of per sonal property, and took possession of the plant on July 1, 1899. A reference to profit and loss account, form c, attached to the treasurer's report will show that this dtvis- ion earned in six months, July l to Jan uary 1, $130 21S27, or at the rate of over 50 per cent. upon the purchase money. This would have been much greater, but for the fact that they had orders on ther books for 57 900 tons taken at very low prices
 Demand for Pig Iron
 "Whilst the domestic demand for pig iron produced by the company, has been during the year unsuitable and greater than could be supplied thus leading to a temporary cessation of export sales, have recognized that the time would come again when we would have to seek consumers Of our in- creased output. Whenever the turn in the present tide of prosperity shall come, the pressure to market pig iron will be increas- ed by the existence of numerous scattered furnaces, which have been resuscitated in various parts of the country under the stimulating influence of the present high prices There has, therefore, been no ces- SatlOn or efI0rt on cne part or tfie HldHdSe- ment to carry forward those arrangements to which I referred year ago intended to relieve the company from placing its pig iron on the market in competition with nu- merous sellers, many of them controlling limited capital and always therefore needy and improvident sellers at low prices. am pleased, therefore, 10 report that the steel works at Ensley have been successful ly started. The extreme scarcity of some classes of material led to tedious and costly delays on the part of several of our con tractors, and although the works would have started In the summer if the contrac- tors had been able to comply with their re- quirements, 1t was only on November 30, that the open hearth department com menced operations, followed on December 31 by the starting of them all. The years profits therefore include nothing from the steel works. There has never been any doubt on the part of myself or colleagues as to the entire feasibility of producing steel by the open hearth basic process from Alabama pig iron of the highest quality. and of producing it in large quantities on

The Gossip of a Lenten Day.

The week is passing unmarked by fash ionable events with the exception of the Thomas concert last night at the Auditor ium, which brought out a conspicuously brilliant audience. The boxes were oecu- pied by many who figure in the fashionable world and indeed the entire audience in point of brilliancy and fashon was not even surpassed in Birmingham. From now on until Easter society will go a quiet pace, the only events that have been announced being series of Lenten teas to be given by tie women of St. Mary 's-on- High lands. The clubs and Lenten lectures take up much of the time and the penetentfal maid wends her way these calm afternoons across the threshold of a dimly-lighted church. Society remains in town and drives to the Country club, the spring-like weather making the beautiful roadways extremely popular these sun-lft afternoons. Some day there will be an exodus of society at this season, at least of those persons who
 go in for the fashionable observance of
 Lent and one will hear of prominent so- cisty women and their parties at the well known winter resorts in the south that are just now crowded with a representative
 clement of American society.
 A southern woman writes me from the 1 Hotel Painclana at Palm Beach that life
 there is made interesting by the visits of | so many celebrities. Many persons promi-
 nent in the wealthy, literary and musical
 sets are crowding the fashionable places in | Florida Among the well known persons at l Palm Beach were the Curtis of Philadel-
 phia, tNhe J. Pierpont Morgans of New York, l Mir and Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, MT. | and Mrs Thomas Nelson Page and other

C., has its usual exclusive coterie of wealth and fash l ion Jekyl Island is popular. too, for its l surf and Old Point Comfort is said to be l unusually gay with a fashionable throng 1 of New Workers and Baltimoreans, while l Hot Springs Va, is constantly crowded l with beauty and fashion.

 The game will begin promptly at 8 o'clock, as the Mobile players have to catch the Alabama Great Southern train at 1O:o5 o'clock that night to return home.

Or pain in the loins and small of the back, Is occasioned by congestion of blood in that part, caused by exposure to cold or q draft of air, checking the precipitation. The counter irritant and diffusive stimulant properties of Railways Ready Relief ad- mirably adapt 1t for the cure of this dis ease. The Ready Relief should be applied to large surface and we'll rubbed In. It is quite wonderful how readily it relieves the pain of this distressing complaint In some cases the pain Is so extreme that there Is danger of Inflammation setting in and ex- tending to the kidneys. In that case take at once a dose of the Regulating Pills and at the same time keep up the application of the Ready Relief, and the most obstinate case will yield to this Urea tment Plasters in general do harm in these cases of pain dn the side and back-they gum ua the pores and prevent the proper action oe the perspiratiory glands and stop the natural exhalations of the skin.
