Curious as It may appear to many
people. It is. nevertheless. extremely
probable that the war in South Africa
may have the effect Of giving An Inn
mense stimulus to mule breeding in
Great Britain. The truth is that the
military authorities have discovered
that the demand for really eligible
mules far exceeds the supply. and as 1t
10 evident to the public that the prices
paid for such animals are remunera-
tive. It II pretty certain that the les
son will receive the attention 1t de-
serves. In this country the mule is
highly valued for heavy draught work.
When 1t Is also borne in mind that the
mule can exist well where horse
would well-nigh starve. that he is the
most healthy Of animals and willing
worker. In spite Of all the Jokes which
are made ON the score Of the obstinacy
displayed by some mules. there can be
no gainsaying the fact that he is a
useful beast.

love with the grandeur in which he Is
compelled to live. He has no liking
for soldiers or sportsman's life, and
is never more uncomfortable than
when Obliged to don the gorgeous uni
form of some crack regiment OF which
he is colonel. He is fond of rowing.
cycling. tennis and other quiet sports.
His happiest moments are spent In his
unpretentious library. The car and
his young wife have for their favorite
domestic resort the small Alexander
palace. at Czarskoie Selo. In the

Prophesies.
Chicago, March 5.-President David
Starr Jordan Of Leland Stanford Uni.
versIty. California, lectured Mt All
Souls church here yesterday, speaking
to large audience on 1.-The Blood of
Nation" He said that the present
century would witness the downfall
of Great Britain. He declared that ul
timntely the people of South Africa
would have their freedom.
The speaker, In emphatic terms, as
serted that the present Inhabitants OF
Great Britain We're Il mere shadow Of
their forefathers In point OF brains and
health. Mr.. Jordan thinks that n na.
tion that POUNDS Its destiny on war
must reach a speedy decay. He said
a great war saps the vitality of the
best blood Of the nation.
Mr.. Jordan deprecated the fact that
SO many of the best youths of Il nation
are killed during times Of war. He re-
marked that this accounted for the ex-
istcnce OF weak nation, both men,
tally and physically. The speaker de-
clured that France more than any
other great nation. had deteriorated.
He said war more than any other thing
had contributed TO this sorrowful con-
dition. Among other things he said:
II think war, more than any other
agency, destroys the vitality Of n ma
ton. Take, for instance. the present
British-BOer war. The best represeu-
tatives of both countries are now on
the field Of battle. War not only
makes widows, but 1t prevents many
marriages. l am certainly of the
opinion that war Is Il curse on any
nation, unless 1t Is the result of fight
for freedom. Such n thing as carrying
on war for the sake of encouraging
imperialistic ideas Will wreck, sooner
or later. nation that tries such o
scheme"

New York, March 5.-Comptrollsf
Coler to-day attacked the ONCE OF the
corporation counsel In way that -
likely TO create storm. He charged
wholesale robbery and did not hesitate
to say that bribery is rampant among
the city Office-hOlders, who, he AYERS,
seem to have made the trade Of theft
respectable. and thereby avoid the fate
of the late William Tweed.
Robbery OF the city OF New York
Is now perfectly legalized," he began.
Il prepared and sent to Albany a bill
that would save the city from whole
sale theft. bill providing that the
persons selling supplies to the city de-
market prices. The officers of the city
whose duty 1t is to defend suits, went
to Albany to defend a bill providing
that those selling goods to the city
would not have to prove that they were
overcharging for them.
my bill would stop legalized rob-
berry. When l have held up bills and
claims because the prices charged
were above the market price, the cor
poration counsel confessed judgment
on the ground that the city had no de-
fense as fraud had not been proved.
When my bill to stop legalized robbery
IL introduced, the corporation counsel
hurries to Albany to defeat 1t. The
city has been robbed outrageously In
the purchase Of supplies. There Is a
concerted movement on the part Of GER
tain departments to defeat the finance
department from protecting the city
treasury. In some cases, large reduc-
flnnR V,1uhA m hills haruIrg thnV
were fraudulent and the prices charged
were more than double the market
value. yet II these cases had been
taken to court the corporation counsel
would not defend them because fraud
had not been shown. l must prove
fraud or there Is no defense.
ITO prove fraud and actual bribery
is a difficult matter. l cannot go into
dark rooms and see the money passed.
In one cnse safes We're purchased by
the city for $500 The mayor of Mount
Vernon advertised for bids for the
same kind of snfes and got them for
1901. In another case, carpets We're
bought at auction for $1.25 yard that
could be bought for SO cents. Tweed
did not know how to steal In respect
able manner and went to jail in conse-
quence. Legalized robbery of the city
is now respectable. Things are worse
than In Tweed's time. Thousands of
persons are subsidized by the city
through the purchase of supplies in lots
that cost less than $1,000. The patron
age taken away by the civil service Is
distributed in that way.
my bill would stop all this robbery
and bribery and theft, but the corpor-
alton counsel in his official capacity
goes to Albany and uses his influence
to defeat the bill. The people can judge
for themselves"

A recent commercial report shows
the intimate relation between weather
and business. The unusually mild tenn
psrature has had Its effect In many
ways. The smaller sale OF shoes is
attributed to the mildness OF the
weather. and the absence of rain and
the slight fall of snow have resulted
In the shutdown Of some rubber fac
tories. The sale of overshoes. rubber
boots. and mackintoshes Is much less
than ever before. The Ice business Is
affected, the cut in most localities be-
ing small and giving promise of q
small crop. with dearer prices In the
summer. The scarcity Of snow in the
northwest is decreasing the log cut.
Drought in New England resulted in a
shortage of water In the little streams
that furnish power to the cotton and
other mills. causing many of them to
shut down. This was followed by
Hoods that brought too high level and
kept the mills still closed. Warm
weather being responsible for scarcity
Of Ice and lumber. one would think II
would result In q decreased price OF
coal, but. strangely enough. this has
not followed.

and financial accumen necessary to guide such an enterprise; the fact that an army of men are employed by the company, every man to his place, and every man to do his part daily in the great work, stamps this management as one of great value as a factor in the material develop ment of this section; and as a management upon which depends much-the future growth development and general success of the Birmingham district, and the con- tinued progress and advancement of the industrial south.
 We write and read of the Sloss-Sheffield Iron and Steel Company as one of the great developing agencies of the mining and manufacturing district of Alabama; and one which is entitled to high position in the list of those potent agencies which go to make Birmingham all that she Is, as a city of present strength and future greatness.
