And Mrs. Mckinley Says She
Enjoys the Work Very
Much.

st. Louis, Mo-, May "a Post-Dis-
patch special from Washington says:
There are few women in high official
life who can show such a record for
industry as the mistress of the White
House. A senator's wife calling at the
White House saw Mrs. Mckinley GRO
cheting slippers. The visitor remarked
upon her industry and Mrs Mckinley
replied:
This occupation is one of my great
est pleasures. 1t has relieved many
hours. Since have began making these
slippers / have given away more than
1000 pairs. I have received some of the
most exquisite letters thanking me for
these little gifts. l have made several
promises for fairs and other charities
which l hope to keep this summer"
Mrs. Mckinley is deeply interested in
the improvements being made at her
home in Canton, and she has been Sc
lecting papers and other furnishings for
the new rooms which have been added.
This residence was given Mrs. Mckinley
by her father as wedding present
when she married William Mckinley.
Mrs. Mckinley considers it the dearest
spot on earth, the place sacred to her
because her early married life was spent
there and her children We're born and
died there.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley

Alliance, May S.-Miss Aula Kline at
tempted to commit suicide by the stran-
gulation route here Sunday night, and
the facts have been suppressed till this
morning. Miss Kline had gone out for
walk, and during her absence a young
man had called. Her mother, Mrs. Jen-
ME Mccormick, formerly Mrs. Kline,
walked out with the young man in
search of her daughter. They met her
with another young man, who fled at
their approach. The girl then accom-
panied her mother at home and they
had some words. 1t is believed the girl
accused the mother with interfering
with her love affairs. Later in the
evening the girl said she would make
way with herselfand went up stairs. The
mother was afraid to follow her up
stairs, but went to the house of a neigh
Dor for assistance. When they came
back they found the girl lying on the
floor nearly choked to death. She had
tied a string around her neck and had
drawn 1t taut and was slowly being
strangulated. The string was loosened
and the girl soon recovered. A truce
was patched up and the parties are now
living peaceably.
Mrs. Mccormick was formerly the
wife of man who now lives in Canton.
They were divorced and she married
Mac Mccormick. That was last May.
In October Mccormick left for parts
unknown and the mother of Miss Kline
was again widow. She is the mother
of Elmer Kline, of Canton, who works
at the Safe works.

STEEL MAGNATE
Says That Branch of Industry
Is Safe For at Least a
Year.
Special to News-Democrat.

London, May 9.-Andrew Carnegie,
the American steel magnate, will deliver
the principal address at the banquet of
the Iron and Steel institute at the Cecil
hotel tonight. Mr.. Carnegie will stay
here for short time and will then leave
for Scotland where he will take six
months rest.
He advocates the building of a mer-
chant marine through favorable legis-
lation by congress. "It is better" he
says, ito build UP a merchant service
than a great navy. Let the ships be so
built that they may be utilized by the
navy 1t would be better for us to do
without one or two battleships a year
and add twenty or thirty ships to the
merchant service" In regard to the
iron and steel industries he says, "They
are In good condition. Although the
prices may rule somewhat lower, there
will be no catastrophe. The iron and
steel interests Of the country are as
sured of prosperity for at least this
year.

ROLLING MILLS
 AND THE PEOPLE.
The News Given by The Age- Herald Caused Great
 Rejoicing.

The Birmingham rolling mill will be put in operation next Monday and nearly 1500 men will then be given employment. The Gate City mill may be started up at the same time, though that has not yet been definitely settled.
 The mills will not be run to their full ca pacity unless the demand for their pro- duet is sufficient to justify 1t. In other words, the mill will work only on orders. If they receive orders sufficient to put them on full time with a full force of men they will be so run; otherwise they will be run on short time.
 The news in the Age-Herald Sunday and yesterday that the wage question had been settled and that the Amalgamated Asso- ciaton and the mill operators has come to an agreement, and that the mills of the Republic Iron and Steeel Comapny in this city would be put in operation at once, was received with gladness by the thous- ands of Birmingham people. It means em- ployment for nearly two thousand people who have been idle for nearly three months and about $60, 900 or $70,000 per month added to the city's pay rolls
 Many of the Birmingham rolling mill men visited the Age-Herald office Saturday night and Sunday night seeking the eager ly awaited news. Twelve or fifteen of the men waited at the office until the first glad news was received, about o'clock Sunday morning.

NATIONAL GUARD
 AND THE BUTCHERS
Get What They Want in New @.-. City Hall.
COMMITTEE TAXES ACTION
Four Story Building With Fourth Floor for Joint Armory-Ths Butchers to be Provided for in
 Fourth Avenue

The city hall committee of the Birning- ham City Council has decided to devote the space of seventy feet fronting on Fourth avenue and back of the present city hall to market stalls for the use of the butch CTS.
 This committee has decided also in favor of a four-story city building, the fourth floor to be given to the National Guard for a joint armory.
 The committee held meeting yesterday and took into full considerat tiou the pro- tests and grievances of the butchers, who were on last Saturday directed to vacate their present stalls in the city market on or before November 1.
 Lawyer M. J. Gregg appeared as attor- ney for the butchers, and he and the com mittee went fully into the questions at issue. The conference was very friendly and mutually pleasant, and result of it was decision to meet the wishes of the butchers. In effect, they are to get what they desire.
 Representations from the local National Guard were submitted in opposition 10 the plan to build a basement in the new city building adequate for a joint armory for the various companies and to fit it up for their uses. For reasons apparently not all together strong the National Guard op- posed such an arrangement, but since they did object the committee agreed to their wish for an armory on the top floor. The basement feature of the great building is therefore abandoned.
 Now all interests seem to be satisfied and the work of preparing for the erection of the handsomest City Hall in the South will proceed.
 And assuredly no other city in the South stands so sorely in need of a decent City Hall Birmingham
