 HARD-PAN IRON PRICES

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The report that the decline on prices of bar iron and steel to the low figures re- ported the other day has led to large orders being placed can easily be credited. The figures quoted, from SIS to $22 per ton, have an appearance more of slashing prices in retribution for the failure to establish a combination than of a genuine decline. It is plain that if the level is to be consid- cred permanent there must be readjust- ment of the prices of ore and labor
 We do not regard it as probable that this level of values will continue, as the con- sumptive demand will use the product of the mills at a considerably higher level But what is certain is that sharp lowering of prices will bring buyers into the market and revive the consumption checked by the high prices of last year. With due reservation against taking these quota tions the true market level they may be taken marking the end of last years boom and pointing the moral
 This gives new illustration of the long standing and unalterable law that low prices stimulate demand and produce activ- ity, while high prices check consumption and produce reaction The boom of 1899 was predicated upon the low prices preyi- ously ruling. Vast uses for iron and steel had been developed made possible by their cheapness. This increase of demand was, temporarily at least, in excess of the pro- ductive capacity, and prices commenced to go up. There is hardly any doubt that 1t the market could have been kept at about the $14 to $l5 level for pig iron the demand would have continued, and a long continuance of that conservative prosperity could have been expected. But when prices scored a total advance of 100 to 15o per cent. many uses of iron, based on it's former cheapness, became impracticable, and the reaction came, the end of which is shown by this weeks reports.
 That the market is prompt to respond fa the lowered prices is proved by the con- tracts made. It is indicated, too, that the legitimate level may we'll be somewhat above these extreme figures. Having get through with the boom therefore the iron and steel industry may look for permanent activity on the basis of conservative and moderately profitable prices.

Bubonic Plaque in London.

The appearance of plague in London ex- cites alarm. It will speedily be stamped out as the life of a venomous snake would be, and no great harm will come from it. Even In the East End sanitation prevails to such an extent that plague, filth and low living disease, cannot become epidemic.
 It was not so three hundred years ago. In 1664-65 plague broke out in London-the same in kind as the disease that has re- those years 6S,596 deaths on account of it. The city did not then contain over one population of London at that time was 46o,- 900, and it is known that one-third of this number had fled from the city, leaving about 2S0,00O in it. nearly one-third of whom perished. There may be today two or three deaths on account of the disease, certainly not a dozen.
 The difference is the difference between sanitation and slovenliness in the case of city-in water supply, drainage, removal of garbage, health inspection. supervision of milk and other supplies, watehfulness and isolation of diease, and all the other reme- dies that science and skill have brought to bear. It pays to keep a town clean, whole some and disease-proof

THE DISGUISE FAILED

From the Omaha World-Herald.
 One day Criminal Aggression bethought himself of taking walk in the adjacent country. Realizing that his aspect was re- polling, he concluded to secure a disguise.
 After looking about for a time, Criminal Aggression made note of the approach of Benevolent Assimilation.
 Just the thing" exclaimed Criminal Ag- gression. q will rob Benevolent Assimila- tion of her habiliments, and after donning them myself I will be in position to dc things without fear"
 So saying, Criminal Aggression swatted Benevolent Assimilation over the caput and denuded her of her robes. In due time Criminal Aggression came down the pike rigged out in the habiliments of Benevolent Assimilation.
 But Criminal Aggression had overlooked a wager. He had forgotten to disguise his ferocious teeth, and he still wore a slouch hat and swaggered.
 The result was that when the honest people saw him they immediately per formed their plain duty and tucked him in the sea of deserved condemna. .ion and oblivion.
 Moral: If you don't see it, you deserve to be bitten.

Ocean Steamship Race.

Today at 10 o'clock the North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse will leave New York bound to Bre- men. Tomorrow the Hamburg line will dispatch the Deutschland, bound for Ham, burg. The New York of the American line will leave for Southampton at the same time and an hour or two later the Oceanic of the White Star line will de- part for Liverpool.
 The managers of these boats will each and all declare that they are not racing, but such declarations will not be accepted when 1t is known that all four lines are competing in point of speed for mail car rying contracts, as we'll as for prestige. was made with a remarkably lew coal consumption. It is said that her furnace construction is superior. It employs in the furnace hot air, thus utilizing the economic ideas that have long been em- ployed in blast furnaces. A blast furnace without "stoves" would be a laughing stock ow-a-days, and the builders of the Deutschland have adopted blast furnace economy. In the furnaces of the Deutschland the forced draught is first heated, and in this way she made the re- cent fast run by using only one and one half pounds of coal per horse power per hour.
 The result of the race will be closely watched but 1t is scarcely reasonable to expect that the New York, now compara- lively an old vessel to keep up with her new and improved rivals. The Deutsch- land is brand new.

THE AUTHOR OF TnDAY

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Business activity has revolutionized both publisher and author. The popular writer of today is not found in a garret, unless he premeditated1y seek it for seclusion and quiet; he dimes at his club, and not off the proverbial crust. He is some- what skilled machine, with gift for turn- ing out a ware that giitters. He reflects the past or peers into the future with equal facility. It is true that his fame may be transitory. but his emoluments are immediate, and it may be said for hin,

STORY OF THE
 HOUSE OF SAVOY

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 The house of Savoy Is one of the oldest princely houses in Europe. Its founder was Humbert the Whitehanded, who was a son of Amadeus, who was the great grandson of Boso of Provence, who was the father of the Emperor Louis the Blind In 1927 Rudolph III of Aries presented to Humbert the counties of Savoy and Mau- rienne, and the Emperor Conrad gave him the Salic Chablais and the lower Valais. From this old Humbert the Princes of Savoy are descended. Humbert the White handed died in 1q4S and was succeeded by his eldest son, Amadeus l., and later by his fourth son, Otho, who, through mar riage, acquired the counties of Turin and Aosta. Thus began the process by which the house of Savoy during nine centuries has appropriated to itself the whole of Italy. During that time the Princess of Savoy have borne in mind the words of Charles Emmanuel IT., to treat Italy as an artichoke. to be eaten leaf by leaf" In 1883 Count Apadeus founded law of primogenture, which strengthened the family and which led to the acquisition of the territory of Nice. Early in the next century the Counts of Savoy assumed the title of Duke. Two years later they took to themselves the principality of Piedmont, and early in the eighteenth century they obtained the Island of Sicily. With that acquisition came to them royalty and the title of King. In 1720 Sicily was exchanged for Sardinia, but the title of King re- remained. At the peace of 1915 Genoa, with its territory, was added to the Sardinian crown. The last of the male line of Savoy died with King Carlo Felice in 1884, and the crown fell to Carlo Alberto, a descend ant of one of the younger branches of the family. He ahdicated the throne on March g, 1Sfa in favor of his son, the late Victor Emmanuel 1T. By the peace of 1S59 King Victor Emmanuel obtained Lombardy, and soon afterward Parma, Modena, the Romagna Tuscany, Sicily and Naples. In 1866 Mantua and Venetia came into tine Kingdom, and in 1870 the last leaf of the artichoke was eaten by the house of Savoy with the absorption of the Papal States King Humbert was a practical, hard-head- ed, sensible man of business in spite of his ancient decent. He carried insurance upon his life in greater sums than any other man. His policies aggregated S,- 100000, and his investments in business enterprises through the London Roth schilds amounted to $20000,000

HE ONLY pallY nlwspApER IN ALABAMA
Yesterdays Election.

Alabama yesterday elected by a handsome reform Governor of the State-a man who would scorn trickery and demagogism in connection with such a subject, or with any subject for that matter-a man who IS wholly a man and who has very little use for practical politics-a nan who will not build machine, but who will in season and out of season serve the people who have entrusted him with high office.
 At the same time the people of Alabama have in the selection of Legislators de- clared again that they desire a new Con- stitution that will put the electorate on a permanent and satisfactory basis It is not believed at this writing that the opponents of suffrage reform will be able to en- barrass or delay the needful steps towards submitting to the people the question of holding a Constitutional convention.
 The best thought of the State should be ter adapted to the State than either the Mississippi or Louisiana plan would be. This Sate can better stand the ills it has than fly to the triekery of the Mississippi plan or the doubtful constitutionality of the Louisiana plan. The Age Herald has sug- gested plan based on the support of the Government-on tax-paying in the form of all taxes paid at least one year previous to an election All who vote should con- tribute towards the Government they thus control, and those who pay property taxes might be relieved in part at least of the proposed poll tax qualification. This would not be an ideal ballot, but it would be as ideal as the heredity ballot of Louisiana or the trickery ballot of Mississippi. Under it a negro who acquires property would be entitled to vote; and as such negro would be a good citizen he should be al- lowed to vote.
 There may be other and better plans. The Age-Herald invites presentation of such plans The Legislature will soon be in session, and plan that offers even a helpful suggestion will be welcomed. There is nothing of a public nature before the or interest.

Convict Bankston of Georuia.

George Bankston is dead, stone dead. That is certain. He was a convict, hired out to men who put men in charge of his squad instructed to get from the squad the largest possible amount of labor. These are the instructions that go with contract labor in Georgia at least, and presuma bly everywhere else.
 Bankston was sent to the Sugar Hill Penitentiary camp. An issue was at once raised between him and the Sugar Hill camp The boss of the camp said he should do moro work, and Bankston said he should do less. The boss proceeded to whip him Into work, by giving him iron. 'ten to six ty lashes'' No description is vouchsafed as to the nature of the ten to sixty lashes." But Bankston still refused to work up to the wishes at least of the camp boss and so the latter concluded to lick him until he did. He gave him four whippings in quick succession, presumably of "the ten to sixty lash' sort. Shortly after the close of the series Bankston ungratefully died, and thus one labor problem at least in this world was fully settled.
 } George Bankston was a convict of Full ton County, in which Atlanta is located

people did not so vote until after the civil war A Presidential elector may vote for whom he please for President; only his sense of personal honor limits him to vote for the Presidential candidate of his party. MT. Hawley shows that should the election of President be thrown into the House of Representatives twelve of the forty-five states, with 2O6 of the 357 members, could control the result. In 1896 Mckinley had 25O,OOO majority over all others in the popu- lar vote. and 600,000 plurality over Bryan. Mckinley carried only twenty three of the forty-five states, yet had ninety-five ma jority in the electoral college. MT. Hawley holds that it was not until 1880 that the people really took fully in hand the ma chnery for electing the President. In 1876 the Presidency was boldly stolen from the people. Altogether, MT. Hawleys paper is the clearest imaginable exposition of it's subject, and it is remarkable for its vigor and statesmanlike scope and ability. MT. Hawley's personal friends and his army of admirers here in Alabama will be glad to know that the greatest of all American publications selected him to deal with the greatest of all American subjects. Every voter no matter how well-informed, can
 
 "We learn that Birmingham, Ala, is moving in the matter of national heavy ordnance plant, and that bill will be in- troduced at the next session of Congress in this interest. This Is right. The entire South Atlantic and Gulf sea ports need modern guns, and the South furnish them at lower cost than Pittsburg or New England.'
 This from the Tampa Times recalls the fact that the original suggestion for a na- uonal heavy ordnance plant at Birming- ham was made by Colonel T. T. Wright. That gentleman fifteen years ago urged Birmingham's citizens to organize for se- curing this plant Colonel Wright secured the storage United States arsenal at Co., lumbia, Tenn The citizens of Columbia showed their appreciation of Colonel Wrights achievement by presenting him with handsome testimonial. This man urged Birmingham citizens to abandon the recent effort to secure an armor plate plant and center on the ordnance plant

MALE SHIRT WAIST WINS

Cincinnati Dispatch in New York Sun.
 At the Burnet House last evening, when the dining room was filled with guests, a man walked in, accompanied by his wife, who attracted attention because he wore neithe< coat nor vest, but was attired in a shirtwaist. The head waiter told him he could not be served unless he wore coat. The man protested, but the waiter was obdurate, and the manager was sent for. He requested the man to don a coat, but he declined, saying:
 ''If Mr. Vanderbilt can dine ill his shirt sleeves at the Waldorf Astoria, I can do so here" The man was allowed to remain, and the first victory in Cincinnati for the mans shirt waist was won. The man is Thomas Gaylord, wealthy New Yorker.

 New York, August 2-Tammany Is to have summer home, even as 1t had In the days of Bill Tweed. Boss Croker has secur- ed the outermost point of City Island and lot of adjacent land, and it is said that in a few days it will be transferred to the Tammany Society. It is thought big club house will be erected and other improve ments made. The purchase price was be- tween s15O,0o and s2o0. .o0o
 In Tweed's days Tammany had summer home in the famous Americus Club near Greenwich, Conn, which was furnished luxuriously and in which the braves spent money like water It looks as if Croker had determined to esaulate Tweed in this as well as in other things.

THE SCHOOL OF FAITH

By Edmund Gosse.
 Long time across my path had lain A far-off bar like gathering rain; The sunshine beamed along my way, But this drew nearsd day by day. I walked amid laughing throng l pluckcd the flowefs l sang my song: But all the time my load of care My bar of threatening cl3ud was there Some day, I knew, that bar must break In tempest fatal for my sake; And in my heart of hearts 1 laid My secret, and was sore afraid. And yet it caught me by surprise; Loud thunlers pealed across the skies; Ere had time for craven fear The hour had struck. The end was near. With lips and lids set hard together I sank upon the springy heather; l said farewell to pleasant things And waited for tho angels wings. When, oh, the marvel! through the rain Came odors exquisite as pain; A softer warmth, like lovsr's breath. Danced on my cheek instead of death The birds around me sang .n choirs. My eyes uncIosed to clearer fires; The storm was only sent to purge Of cloud my sky from verge to yergA

From the London Post.
 ''Soldier" is a pedigree word. Its con- nection with the Queen Shilling" may not be obvious, but there it is all the same. Shilling" in Low Latin, is ''solidus,' whence comes ''solduIl," wages" The man who fights for "soldum" is soldier In Wicxliffes New Testament John the Baptist bids the soldiers to "be apayed with your sowdis'' C'be content with your wages), "sowdis'' being the North Coun- try rendering of ''soldis,'' like "owd" from "old."
