GREATEST OF TRUSTS

From the New York Press.
 close observer of industrial movements explains the continued depression of the entire group of steel and iron stocks in the market as follows: Tt is, 1 believe, the pur- pose of the Carnegie Steel company to ab- sorb all it's rivals and with that end in view prices are to be kept down until the neces- sary control is secured. What buying there is in such stocks Federal Steel, Steel and Wire Republic Iron and Steel and the rest of the group is for investment, and I think I can see Carnegie and companys hand in il"

JAPAN As AN INDUSTRIAL MENACE

From the Engineering Magazine.
 Russia will not reap the first fruits of her railway invasion of Asia. She is not the rival in the construction of her railways to be feared by ---e Anglo-Saxons. A new power has risen at the very doors of Asia. Forty million progressive, irrepressble Jap anese stand ready, by force of arms if necessary, to open the door of new Asia to their manufactures. It is the only hope of salvation for the over-crowded Island King dom, and it's people will fight for this last chance with desperation.

THE POETS LAY

He that has slipped from the honey-cell, O listen him. and wish him well! His are the thoughts that live with roses, With cloud-shapes where the sun-gate
 closes;
 The glintings through green summer leaves Are in the measures that he weaves; There all the secrets murmured, purled By brooks or in the rosebud curled, Or in the winds O the nesting-tree, Not sleep can keep from melody. Light fancy has he, frail and fair, Like the orchid, rooted in the air; And yet so searching is his art, Gray earth grows happy at her heart, And wonders he, the while he sings, At strangest bright, eternal things. The accent is not all his own, Betimes the god sings on alone. John Vance Cheney, in the June Ats

MATTRESSES TO MATCH DECORATION

MATTRESSES TO MATCH DECORATION From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 One can buy mattress ticking to match almost any bedrooms decorative scheme in these accommodating days. Delft designs in blue on d white ground are too much like the old conventional ticking to suit the novelty lover, but forget-me-nots and pale rosebuds scattered over cream ground, or red roses strewn over gray ground striped with white should appeal to the most fas- tidious housewife. White and yellow stripes, red and white, red and gray, pink and blue and pink and heliotrope all charming combinations and quite as serviceable as the ugly convict stripes which have given generations bad dreams. Probably the cool est looking ticking for a summer room is dark green striped with a lighter shade of the same color.

BEGGARS

By Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney. Beggars, beggars, all of us!
 Expectations from our youth; With hands outstretched, and asking alma Of Hope and Love and Truth. Nor, verify, doth he escape
 Who wrapt in cold contempt Denies alike to give or take,
 And dream himself exempt; Who never, in appeal to man,
 Nor in a prayer to heaven, Will own that aught he doth desire,
 Or ask that aught be given. Whose human heart a stoic pride
 Folds as velvet pail; Yet hides meagerness within,
 Worse beggary than all!

INyENTING A HOLY WAR

From the London Daily Mail.
 The reports emanating from French sources that the tribes of the Doui and Oulad Djerir districts have proclaimed the Jedad and are assembling their warriors at Taflet are, have every reason to be- lieve, merely pretexts to justify further ag gression by France. It is further stated that the general commanding the French troops on the Algerian frontier has re- ceived orders to repress the "insurrection.'
 Now Oulad Djerir is south of Figuig, and is the district through which the French military railway is to pass on leaving Fig uig. Besides, it is miles within the bound aries of Morocco, according to all ancient and modern maps. These reports are ob- viously but the prelude to the advance of the French column to Figuig in the north, and thence to Tafilet on the west.
 We shall be told that the movement was forced upon the French by the natives, whereas the truth is that the tribesmen have neither the arms nor the discipline to stand against trained European soldiers, and have been warned by the survivors of the slaughter of Inrar of what they may expect.

All the state is talking about Sydney J.
 Bowie of Anniston as a proposed candidate for the democratic congressional nomina- ton in the Fourth district, and a better
 stronger or truer young man could not be discussed in connection with any public office It is known that strong pressure is being brought to bear upon MT. Bowie to become a candidate For this evidence of warm personal esteem he is very grateful, and he is giving the political proposition of his friends careful and sincere consider ation. But that is all that can be said at the moment. MT. Bowie is not candidate for congress. He may ask of his party, which he has served with great ability and energy the honor of nominations; condi- tions would seem to indicate that he will do so. But wisely enough he is. giving so important a matter most careful thought.
 A declared candidate for congress in the Fourth is, Dr. B. Dudley Williams of Ox- ford. Dr. Williams announced many weeks ago that he would seek the honor of representing his people in congress, through the democratic party; and there cannot be any question of his fitness for such an honor. He is now the grand mas ter of Masons in Alabama, and that fact
