{ SCHoOLMATES PALLBEARERS
At the Funeral of Miss Rosa Belle
 Delaney. Bessemer

Six young maidens will act as pall-bearers at the funeral of Miss Rosa Belle Delaney at Bessemer this morning. They were her classmates at school
 Miss Delaney was the youngest daugh- ter of MT. William Delaney, highly hon. ored citizen of Bessemer and her death oc- cured at her home at 9:30 o'clock yester- day forenoon, after an illness of but two or three days. Her funeral will take place from St. Aloysius church, Bessemer, at 10:3O o'clock this morning. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Father J. A. Wright, priest of St. Aloysius.
 Miss Delaney's death causes earnest sor- row to the people of Bessemer, by whom she was greatly beloved. She was beauti- fully gentle, charitable, and kind of heart, and it is spoken of her that her young life was filled with sweetness and beauty. She was sunshine to all whose way she passed i; and she died as little saint might go to sleep.

NO. 2 FURNACE
 AGAIN IN BLAST
Closed Down Last Saturday
 Night on Account of Fire.
STARTED UP LAST NIGHT
Trestles Have Been Rebuilt and Wol k of Repairs Being Rushed-No. Will Be Ready in
 Few Days

No of the city furnaces of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company which was compelled to close down last Saturday night on account of the fire at the furnace plant, which was caused by the blowout and explosion in furnace No. 1, was started up last night at 9:30 o'clock. The fire caused the closing down of the coke ovens, which are located near the furnaces, and No 2 furnace, which was injured by the fire, was compelled to close down for lack of coke
 The burning of the tressels and other buildings retarded the accumulation of a supply of coal, and the company was com pelled to wait until these damages could be repaired before starting up the injured fur mace.
 The work of rebuilding began last Mon day and has been rushed with all possible haste. The tressels have been completed, restoring the facilities for handling coal, ore and flux, and the company will now endeavor to make up for lost time.
 General Manager and Acting President Aldrich, under whose supervision the work of rebuilding and repairing has been carried on, states that he expects to have No. l ready to go in blast in a week or ten days.
 While the actual loss was practically coy- cred by insurance, the loss of time has been very heavy to the company, and the officers have been hard at work getting things in shape.

The Spanish gun, which was presented, or honored to the city by the government will be placed in Capitol park instead of on the court house lot. The mounting of the trophy which will take place on Thurs day, the 17th instant. will be attended with great ceremony.

Oates, who held the com misison of brigadier general during the late war, and the Hon. William J. Sanford, nominee for governor of the state It is expected they will be present and will say something to the people on this occasion. The committee has designated General Louis V. Clark as grand marshal of the day Colonel Tom O. Smith as assistant marshall in charge of the military parade and Lieutenant E. J. McCrossin as assist ant marshal, in charge of the civic parade
 Colonel Tom o. Smith has been directed by the committee to invite the governor and his staff to be present and participate in the occasion It is expected that not less than three, and probably all of the bands in this district will be in the procession and that all of the local societies will as- sist in the same, full details of which will be given later.
 Assistant Marshal McCrossin in charge or the civic parade, has extended an invi- tatlon to every civic organization in the district to participate in the parade, which promises to be Of tha lar and hoe ever seen in Birmingham.
 The mounting of the cannon coming dur ing the week of the Street Fair will in re- aIlty. be part of the Elks, carnival.

The Mayberry Hardware company is adding two stories to it's already large building in First avenue. When this pro- gressive company erected its beautiful building last year-four stories above the basement-it was supposed to be ample for it's business needs. But the Mayberry company's trade has expanded rapidly and more room is now absolutely necessary The building as it stands today is one of the largest mercantile structures in Bir- mingham. With the two stories added it will be one of the largest, if not the largest, south of the Ohio.

Ignorance Of washington

Army and Navy Journal.
We are accustomed to the ignorance of
our English cousins as TO the American
geography, but we did think that so inn
posing an historical character as Wash
ington was beyond the reach of such a
bold misstatement as we find in the Lon
don Express, which has been SO widely
quoted since the beginning of the Boer
war that ii may well vaunt itself as a mil
itary authority. Speaking of Generals
size and rank, the Express says: Wash
ington was not a tall man, being rather
below than above the common height of
soldiers under him" If that is so, then
the men of the American continent have
sadly deteriorated in stature, for it would
be difficult to-day to get an army together
in this country, or even a regiment, in
average height equalling the stature of
Washington. If the size and strength of
the Father of his Country are still I'M
known in England, we may expect to hear
Bonaparte, the little Corporal, referred to
as a giant The Encyclopedia Britannica
says: "All accounts agree that Washing
ton was of imposing presence. He meas
ured just feet when prepared for burial,
but his height in his prime, as given in his
orders for clothes from London, was three
inches more"

A Barbarous Blessing.

st. Louis Republic.
writer on Chinese subjects says: To
one Chinese custom the world owes much.
1t is barbarous. But for it white races
may be thankful. 1t alone keeps back
the yellow wave which but for it would
sweep as an avalanche over the universe.
But one female child Is sanctioned in a
family. Fresh arrivals and sickly males
are put out in the open. They are not
slain, but they die. Were is not for this,
the four hundred millions of Chinese
would speedily number eight hundred mil
lions, and the eight become sixteen, or
the population of the world The China
man can live and thrive where no one else
can. From the earth he will extract the
last ounce of produce. Sober and frugal,
honest and persevering. laborious and in
telligent. he can and does defy competi-
ton. Given fair play, he could cover
America from Alaska to Cape Horn, he
could appropriate Australia. Courage and
valor could not avail against numberless
numbers.

THE POWERS CASE.

There was but one Republican on the
jury that tried Caleb Powers, and he was
subjected to sinister nfluences-Intelli-
gencer.
How do you know, neighbor? From
what exclusive and inside source does
your information come? In making
the assertion you ought to be specific,
that conviction might follow the
claim 1t is true that there was but
one straight-out Republican on the
Powers jury, and he went to the trouble
to explicitly declare that he deemed
the defendant guilty by his own con-
fession, and so voted. Three anti-Goe-
bel Democrats did the same thing The
assertion of the Intelligencer is moth
ing but political trash. That paper,
like other Republican organs, would
stop all proceedings against the murd-
erers of Goebel and those who plot
ted against his life, if it could be done.
In another paragraph the Intelli-
gencer says:
mo wonder Governor Taylor, of Ken
lucky refused to trust himself to a par
tisan court and jury"
Why? Because Powers was con-
victed upon the evidence? The fact
is that Taylor is afraid and has ever
been afraid to trust himself to any
jury, partisan or not, but has sulked
a fugitive from justice outside of the
limits of the State of Kentucky, and,
mark the fact, he has been protected
and shielded and encouraged in his
cowardly hiding by the Republican
press and Republican officials, under
oath to do their duty and deliver up
those charged with crime to justice
The Courts of Kentucky have long
been endeavoring to ascertain the
facts in the assassination of William
Goebel. They have been prevented
from doing so by Republicans, who
stand ready and willing to condone a
foul murder, one as black as ever dis
graced any State in the Union, for po-
litical purposes and to save the necks
or prolong the liberty or guilty men.
1t is not necessary to prejudice the
case against Taylor or anybody else.
The Courts, and the juries will settle
the fact of guilt or innocence, and will
settle 1t in the only way provided for
by American criminal Jurisprudence.
But the fact should not be lost sight
of that those who shelter the guilty
are accessories after the fact, and
there will come day of reckoning for
them, if not in the Courts of justice at
least in the minds of the people.
