The accumulated interest amounts to about 26sOo9, The Legislature of Alabama, at it's lasf session, granted to the city power to issue bonds to cover this obligation, and at tnis writing negotiations are pending by which the bonds will be foated and full settlement made with the creditors of the city.
 The assessed taxable values of the city Tor tne current year ought to be, approx imately, $16,0O0,000. This will yield $SO, ,0O0 Tor the bond fund, and as much for the general fund. The total receipts from other sources ought to be equal to this sum. Hence the way seems clear for smooth sailing; and the good credit of the city fully re-established. Let it be remembered, however. that to the $94 75O present fixed charges for interest must now be added the interest on the new funding bonds, to- wit, about $13.40O, or a total annual inter- est of $107,900.
 Birmingham has no floating debt of any consequence, and under her present char ter the board connot contract debts ex- ceeding $35, ,OO0
 There Is no cause for alarm at the pres ent financial status of Birmingham. The city is in fair way to regain every lost polnt m her march of municipal progress. Carefui and conservative management by those Tn authority Is all that will be neces- sary now to keep her abreast with the spirit or her wfde-awake, progressive peo- pie They have somewhat tired of bond is- sues, and 1t is hardly probable that they Will consent to additional public debt at any time in the near future. With tax rate or one percentum, and charter rights TOT rigid assessment of property for the cost Of improvefng the highways it would seem that the way is clear for a strong forward movement
 Ihe call for more policemen, more fire men, more lights, more street cleaning and heavier sanitation expense can only meet response at the hands of a thoughtful ad- ministraton after duly considering the ways and means at command. The outside critic can easily figure and plan over pub- nc necessities. public comforts and pub nc convenlences; can detect neglect, howl at official sins of omission and commits sion; but to the men at the helm the peo- pie ever look for full account of steward ship, and they must bear the brunt of any failure to meet current expenses with cur rent incomes.
 As Birmingham has never defaulted in the payment of any debt, 1t is the desire cf her people that she never shall fail for moment to meet her obligations.

In reply to the question: "Is there field for the thrifty immigrant In Alabama, and If so, does the negro keep him away" 1 beg to say that, in my opinion, there is field, and a great one at that, for the thrifty immigrant who desires to better his condition, improve his health, and conse- quently prolong his days in this world, and who, regret to say, in many instances, is kept from locating in the south through ignorance of the peculiarities of the negro race This fact can be aeasily proved, for upon examination it will be found that the larger settlements of immigrants in Ala bama are in counties which have the least negro population; and yet were these peo- pie more familiar with the habits of the negro race their loyalty when fairly treat ed, their capacity for good service when properly educated, their usefulness in sup plying all kinds of menal labor, in my judgment, the immigrants would flock to the counties having the largest negro pop ulation instead of seeking those which have the smallest. AS can be well understood, the menial labor has to be done by some one. In the north the white people perform this service; in the south it Is done by the negro race, consequently any poor white man settling in the south Is necessarily forced to take a higher stand here, without knowing it, than he would in the north, for in the north he would have to do the men, ial work, while in the south this is done for him by the negro race. This alone gives him an advantage he would rarely realize in the north.
 Alabama presents an inviting field to the thrifty immigrant. He can come here and with the same quantity of land make two dollars for one that he could make In the north or west. Take the comparison be- tween Dakota and Alabama, for instance. In Dakota the winters are fully, if not more than, seven months long. The sum- mers being short, every moment he Is awake he is compelled to labor. After he raises and houses his crops, he has to set apart about 50 per cent to feed and keep his stock alive during the long winter. In the south the reverse prevails; the sum- mers are long and the winters short. This enables him to market two crops each year, and as his stock will keep fat In the winter from the ranges, which are always good, without being compelled to call on any of his crops, he can dispose of every pound he raises, outside of what he needs for the use of his family.
 The lands in Alabama arc cheap and within the reach of every man, be he ever so poor. The prices of virgin lands range from H.5o to A an acre, and improved lands
The age-herald., 1900-08-05

from 8 to $10 an acre, and as he can buy these lands, as a rule on long time, the first payment Is all that he Is called on to make, the crops from the succeeding years being more than sufficient to pay his land out and give him good support for himself and family.
 I could cite you many settlers, between here and Chattanooga, who have come into Alabama with everything they were worth in the world hauled by an OK team, who to- day reside in good houses, cultivate their own lands, take their families to worship with horse teams, dress their wives and daughters in the latest fashion, and send every one of their children to school, and all this, in many instances, has been ac- complshed inside of eight years. Good schools can now be found all over Ala bama.
 With no fear of the different plaques which prevail In the west, such as the hot winds, the sand storms, and the hordes of crickets and grasshoppers; with plenty of cheap land, capable of being brought up to the highest state of cultivation; with good fresh water to be found at all points; with no i'll feeling or prosecutions of any kind for political views; with generous and hearty reception for any thrifty immigrant that may desire to take up his home in our midst. I know of no place in this en- tire country better suited for the progress sive immigrant than within the confines of Alabama

Tea Tables

Tea fables are rather difficult to decor ate, as 1t has become the fashion to make perfect mosaic of dishes oyer the entire surface. The most satisfactory manner is to fill long and slender shafts of glass wi . light and rather spreading flowers, and in- sert7 these with a sort of method between the multifarious plates
 The large tea table Is far prettier covered with a colored silk cloth than with plain white napery, which always gives one the feeling of a meal. Widths of the nexpen- sive china silk, joined by insertions of lace dyed to the tone of the silk oh o1.1, and edge only with deep hem, made lovely cevers, and should be selected in exactly the tones Of the flowers to be used. An ey- tremely simple manner of getting an ef- feet also is to have all sweets an1 cakes iced and colored to match This entails no more expense and gives distinction to the very simplest table.

A Fish Sauce

To make cream sauce: Put three table spoonsful of butter into a saucepan and place over the fire. When the butter Is hot add two tablespoonful of flour, and stir until smooth and frothy. Draw the pan to one side of the range, and gradually stir into the four one pint of cold milk. Put 1t over the fire again, and stir until it boils Add few drops of onion juice, and salt and cayenne proper to taste. To make ths a green sauce, tie together small bunch of parsley and put 1t in dish of boiling salted water, to which has been added piece of soda the size of pea. Cook for five minutes, and take out the parsley. Then with silver knife scrape the leaves from the stems and chop them with the knife before stirring them into the sauce

1a THE BIRMINGHAM AMENDMENT
With Money Derived Therefrom an Alp solute Protection to the Bondhold-
 CTS and Assurance of Contin- . ued Growth of City
BY FRANK V. EVANS

The bonded indebtedness of the city of Birmingham has been a matter of much interest and solicitude on the part of the taxpayers of the city; and it's condition does not seem to be fully understood by the people.
 This is a debt-paying community. A public-spirited and ambitious citizenship ever looks forward to the future, while it jealously cares for the present; and debt fin any form generally clouds the horizon, and loads the thoughtful debtor with a sense of unrest.
 brief review of conditions which forced the city of Birmingham to contract debt and to issue interest-bearing evidence thereof, will doubtless prove of interest to all who feel concerned in the welfare of the city.
 At this writing the actual bonded in- debtedness of this city is $1,6O5, 900, and the average rate of interest is about 6 per cent.
 The first bonds issued by this municipality were for s10.0OO sold in 1881 to run for ten years. The fund arising from the sale of this issue was applied to the building of the present city hall and market house. Hon. Thomas Jeffers was Mayor at that time; and while the rate of interest seems now to nave been very n1gh, the use of the oity's credit and the wisdom of the investment is apparent, when it is truthful ly stated that the investment had been re- turned five fold to the city, at the time the loan matured; and that today the property is fntrinsically valued at s50O00 These were purchased by local buyers, and were promptly paid at maturity.
 Following this issue of bonds came the first, 9econd and third issues of sanitary bonds, the proceeds of which were invested tp the establishment of the present magni- hcient system of sewerage planned by the late Col. George B. Waring, the famous sanitary engineer of New York, who was ct that time resident of Rhode Island. These bonds also bore per cent inter- est and were paid promptly and cancelled ct the maturity thereof.

Linens that have been stained by tea or coffee may be cleansed by moistening the spots with water and holding them over the fumes of small piece of burning sul- phur or, few sulphur matches. Wash jm- medfately with water in which a Ii lie ammonia or soda has been dissolved. Stains that nothing else will remove are often taken out by the vapor arising from burn ing sulphur, but the material must be washed thoroughly at once.
