 Demands Refused.
ALL WHITE MEN WALK OUT

The maehinists at the machine shop at the city furnaces of the Sloss-Shefiield Steel and Iron Company went out on a strike yesterday morning and operations at that place were somewhat curtailed during the day as a result The machinists quit work because Master Mechanic Laidley put a negro on the drill press
 As soon as the machisists discovered that a negro was running the drill press they held a consultation and appointed a committee to wait on the Master Mechanic and ascertain if he intended to keep the negro there. The committee was informed that such was his intention as the com pany did not care to pay man $2.60 a day to operate the machine. The committee re- ported the result of its conference to the machinists and all decided to quit work.
 Nine machinists are employed at the shop and all of these are out One of the strik- ing men stated to an Age Herald reporter last night that the men had no grievances against the company or against MT. Laidley except that the latter had put a negro on one of the machines and they refused to work with him. He stated that the men would not return to work as long as the negro was employed at that place.

TRIED THREE TIMES To Fit Coffee to a Sensitive Body.

There are great numbers of highly or ganiZed people upon whom coffee acts as a clearly defined poison. In some extreme cases the poisonous effects will show in from three to five minutes, in other cases a long time is required ,and in some cases the body can stand the effects for years, but the effects are very sure, and many times result na fixed condition of organic disease that is difficult or impossible to be rid of.
 Mrs J. w. Grant, of Deepwater, Mo-, writes interestingly of her experience with coffee. After using coffee a number of years and gradually failing in health, got so l could eat but very little breakfast at any time and many days could not eat at all. I would drink a cup of coffee and try to eat a little bread.
 T knew the coffee was hurting me, but did not seem to be able to take anything else. Just the minute I took a swallow of coffee my nerves would begin to jingle, a weak, faint sensation would run all over my body, my wrists burning and aching, the back of my neck hurting, until it finally got so bad that I would have to hold my head on my hand while drinking my cup of coffee.
 q would frequently have to run to the door for breath, feeling as though I would faint away. I got so I could scarcely sit up to eat my little breakfast So it went on until I ran into nervous prostration com- pletely. Nothing would stay on my stomach. l called Tn pnySlclanS WnO told me 1 must travel, and gave me but little encourage ment of getting well.
 "A friend told me my trouble was coffee; I didn't believe 1t, but for some reason concluded to stop drinking coffee and try the Postum Food Coffee that had been so highly recommended. I was greatly aston ished to find that in a few days I had no more of the nervous spells at breakfast and began to eat food of most any and every kind.
 T began to recover very quickly, but like lots of coffee and tobacco slaves, I thought I would like to try the coffee again, so I started in on it and the old trouble came on. I stopped again and went to Postum and began to improve in health. did this foolish thing three different times and each time that would go back to coffee would run down in health and was threatened with the same old troubles.
 'I finally learned how to make Postum so well by letting it boil long enough, that 1t tasted as good as fine Java coffee, and from that time on I have never had any desire to go back to coffee. I am now well, and there Is no question but that my recovery is due entirely to the leaving off of coffee and using Postum Food Coffee"

THE GREEKS WILL
 ORGANIZE CHURCH
Local Colony Will Establish Con- gregation of Orthodox
 Faith at Early Date

It is probable that a congregation of the Orthodox Greek Church will soon be es- tablished in Birmingham and a regular church organization maintained.
 The Jefferson County Greeks number be- tween two and three hundred, and ma. jority of them belong to what is styled the Orthodox Greek Church, the others be- ing Catholics.
 Mir Pappageorge said to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday that it would not be great while, he thought, before the Ortho- dox Greeks would establish a congregation here and support a priest as pastor. Up to this time, he said, they had not felt them selves able to assume the expense of main- taining a local church organization, but that now they were relatively prosperous, they would take steps to ask for the ap pointment of a priest. The Orthodox Greeks in the United States are under the bishop of Athens who in turn acknowl- edges the patriarch of Constantinople as his ecclesiastical chief.
 Peter Contorupis, Nicholas Zabucos, J John Tsekvras, Leon Strathakis and Theodore Colas, well known citizens belonging to the Greek colony, left last week for their native land and are now on the Atlantic ocean. They travel by way of London, Paris and Athens, going from Athens to Sparta MT. Colias is in poor health and will remain in the old country, but the other members of the party will return to Birmingham next fall. They have been residents of this city for fifteen years and are well identified with the community.

Notes and News.

The Remove Record has entered upon
its 30th year. Brother Shaffer has la
bored hard and zealously for the town
and county of his adoption and has
given the citizens of Remove paper
fully up to the times. We congratulate
our genial friend and wish him many
years of prosperity.
The Austin Republican says that the
rumors regarding George Hart's finan-
cial embarrassmenta are without founda-
tion. Like many jobber, he was short
of cash for his men, many of whom
wanted TO celebrate the holidays, but it
was only temporary. We hope the
rumors will not affect his credit, which
up to this time has been A No. 1.
A Lexington, KY, dispatch says that
Miller & Sibley, the millionaire horse
men of Franklin, Pa, have retired from
the trottrng horse business, and have
presented to Charles Marvin, the vet
eran trainer, all the stock on their Ash
land Park Farm, near Lexington. The
stock would, it is said, be worth in the
sale ring between $4,000 and $3.50
Erie Dispatch: Thomas A. Roberts,
superintendent of this division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and w. Hey
wood Myers, general superintendent of
Pennsylvania lines arrived in the city
last night at 1890 o clock, aboard the
private car of the latter. Their visit
will determine the status of this city so
far as the railroad is concerned, Erie
no longer being division headquar-
ters. The disposition Of the local force
will also be considered and whatever
changes are necessitated will be made.
1t is said that "Jack" Henry will retire
from the local force and will look after
his business interests.
John P. Emery was elected to the
Legislature in Yenango county, as
regular Republican. AT Harrisburg
the callow fellow Topped and joined
the enemies of his party, the insurgents.
His perfidy is extolled by the party
wreckers as an act of surprising excel
lence. Senator Washburn of Crawford,
having grown tired of the tricks of the
fusionists, joins forces with the regular
Republicans and Washburn is deemed
a fit subject for attack by the profess
sional slanderers of the einsurgent-fusion
press. Thus it will be seen that it all
depends upon whose OK is gored.-

He Meant Business.

A Davenport boy went to New York
to solicit a position to travel for a
wholesale house, says Success. He
went five times to one establishment
nd every time was told that they did
not want to engage him, He tried to
prevail on them to let him make trial
trip, but to no avail. Finally he pro-
posed to buy small stock of goods;
this was business, and they were ready
to sell. He then went on the road on
his own account, and made money, so
when the firm saw that he meant busi-
ness they were ready to employ him,
and he is now wealthy, being member
of the firm. Not boy in a hundred
would have had his persistence after a
refusal. There is nothing like courage
or faith as an aid to success. Another
member of that firm had only fourteen
cents when he reached New York, to
seek his fortune.

Miss Kingsley and the GorilIns.

On the Gabun river Miss Mary
Kingsley's guide one day called to her
to creep quietly through the bushes
and then she saw family of five 60
rillas-an old male, three females and
a young one. The guide sneezed, which
alarmed the gorillas, and they fled
with bark and howl, the old male
swinging from bough to bough like an
acrobat on a trapeZe.
On another day Miss Kingsley and
her two guides came suddenly upon a
solitary male gorilla, who, as usual,
had appropriated forest glade as q
park for his private enjoyment. Flu
rious at the intrusion, the brute, in
stead of fleeing, came shambling to-
ward them, growing fiercely. "Shoot
him." whispered Miss Kingsley. 81
dare not" said the guide, "untll he
comes quite close. I have only one
gun. The other is out Of order. If l
miss, he will kill us"
The gorilla came nearer. Rearing
himself on his hind legs he beat his
breast and roared, just as Du Chaillu
described long ago. Then, running for
ward, he stopped and roared again and
again ran forward until quite close.
Then the guide fired and the gorilla
dropped dead.-Chambers Journal

A Woman Without Headaches

There are, probably, few other wo-
men in this country as busy as Mrs. s.
T. Rorer, the famous cook, or few who
earn as much money. Besides her edi-
toria work for The Ladies' Home
Journal, which involves answering
several thousand letters each year, she
conducts big cooking-school in Phila-
delphia, and lectures almost constantly
during the season, travelling through
all sections of the country. Mrs. Rorer
has never had a headache, she is never
ill, and, in her appearance, is certainly
the best example one could have of her
theories as to the right way to live.

Life a Century Ago.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
One hundred years ago a man could
not take a ride on steamboat.
He could not go from Washington to
New York in few hours.
He had never seen an electric light
or dreamed of an electric car.
He could not send a telegram.
He could not talk through the tele-
phone, and he had never heard of the
hello girl.
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call in stenographer
and dictate letter.
He had never heard of the germ the
ory or worried over bacilli or bacteria
He never looked pleasant before a
photographer or had his picture taken.
He never heard phonograph talk or
saw a kinetoscope turn out a prize
fight.
He never saw through a Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary with the aid of
a Roentgen ray.
He had never taken a ride in an ele-
vator.
He had never imagined such thing
as a typesetting machine or a type
writer
He had never used anything but a
wooden plow.
He had never seen his wife using a
sewing machine.
He had never struck a match on his
pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an anesthetic and
have his leg cut off without feeling it,
He had never purchased 10-cent
magazine which would have been re-
garded as miracle of art.
He could not buy a paper for cent
and learn everything that had happen
ed the day before all over the world.
He had never seen a Mccormick
reaper or self-binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iron bridge.
In short there were several things
that he could not do and several things
he did not know.
And hundred years from now they
will have the laugh on us.
