An Army Post in Birminoham.

The Commercial Club is proceeding on correct lines in the army-post mat ter. A large delegation, filling car, is needed, not so much perhaps to fayorably influence the Secretary of War and General Miles as to induce tho entire delegation of the State at Washington to help this town secure an army post. This is the time when army posts are being handed out to enterprising towns, and no town is healthier, breezier or more thoroughly pierced by railroads than this. What other town has two direct trunk lines to New Orleans and other gulf ports? The post of the entire gulf district should be located here partly because the town is central to the gulf, and is the nearest hygienic and invigorating town to that great basin.
 Let map be made that shows how the railroads ra1-ate from this town how near 1t is to the gulf-how high 1t is, and especially how high Red noun tain within the city is, together with tables showing how long people live here and what an uphill task the cemeteries have in obtaining propor tion of quiet sleepers. Centraiity and bracing and salutiferous qualities are what the army people want, and they can find both here in great abundance.
 Let then a committee go to Wash ington loaded with maps and sanita- tion facts. Let Secretary Root and General Miles be made acquainted with Jones valley, and it's well-known salu- brity. This air is a tonic to Alabam- fans, but Secretary Root IS a New Yorker, and General Miles a man with out State, and they know not how strong and robust one soon becomes by living for a season in this valley.

RELATED PASSENGERS.
Jumped From Ferry and Swan te
 Catch the Steamer. .


 New York Correspondent Chicago Amer ican.
 Michael Stoska wanted to sail this morning on the Holland Line steamship Hhyndam for his home in Rotterdam. He started for the company's pier in Hobo- ken on the ferryboat Hamburg.
 Tn midstream his heart jumped up in his mouth when he beheid the big ship sailing swiftly down the river.
 Stoska was bewiIdered for a moment. Then. with cry. he scrambled over the guard rail and dived into the fey water. The startled passengers rushed out. be- lieving that the man intended to commit suicide. stoska quickly struck out in the direction of the fast disappearing steamship and struggled nightly to over take her. .
 In the meantime the ferryboat had been stopped and deck hands and passengers threw ropes and life preservers to the swimmer. He kept braveiy on for five minutes, and then, convinced that his job was impossible, he gladly accepted the aid of life preserver.
 He was hauled dack on deck shivering and exhausted In Hoboken they took him to St. Mary's Hospital, where the physicians said the plunge might cost the man his life.
 "Td have made that boat, he said. If 1t had not been so darn cold.'

Iox poduina Did 1t.

A special but unsigned article in last Sundays New York Herald endeavors to show that Birmingham is the wick edest town in the country because its percentage of arrests to population is annually very high. Twenty-Five per cent of the entire population were ar rested last year, against 3.8 per cent in New York.
 This is simply another census blun- der. The census has loaded this town up with undeserved percentages. The people of Alabama know this is town of fully 100000 inhabitants, instead of 3S,415. Factories, furnaces and mills almost within stones throw of the court house or business streets have been cut out because they did not and do not desire, to pay city taxes. The trolley lines of this town traverse pop ulous districts, the inhabitants of which come and go, doing no little drinking and contributing handsomely to the number of annual arrests.
 The census bureau is misleading. Tlle county in which this town is located contains 140,42o people, and it is from this population that the 9,t26 arrests were drawn, instead of
  the 3S,415 shut up within the curiously contrived boun4s of the city-bounds intended to promote the art of tax lodging and nothing else.
 The author of the article published in the New York Herald, if an Ala bamian, knew he was not stating the whole case; If a nonresident, he is wholly innocent. The census did it, or rather the men did it who bounded a town by leaving out of it all who do not like to pay taxes. The percentage of arrests in this valley are no higher than it Is in any other well-regulated town, but the percentage of tax dodgers in this valley is beyond all precedent. instead of being the tough est town in the land, it is the most evasive when taxpaying time comes around.

LUNCH FOR 10000 MEN.
l the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Any weekday at noon. and at midnight but in lesser degree a somewhat singular and at the same time animated scene may be witnessed at the Baldwin Loco- motive Works. As is perhaps well known, the establishment employs about 10000 men, and it requires a large amount of prcvender to feed them. Several years ago the firm set apart q large room in one of the buildings on Fifteenth street. equipped 1t with chairs and tables. hired lot of cooks and started in to feed the men at about the cost of supplying the food products. Savory soups, pastries, coffee and other articles were Offered. and for time the men seemed to appre- ciate the attention but in little while. for want of patronage. the experiment had to be abandoned, and the men went back to their old system, and this Is how it works: Daily. just before noon, milk wagons drive up to Broad and But tonwood, Fifteenth and Hamilton and other points; then come trundiing along wheeibarrows. filled with frankfurters, ries, cakes, oysters and clans in sea- son, fruits and other edibies while itin- ersnt merchants appear with hot coffee ard soft drinks. The men in the shops have half hour for dinner. and when at noon the whistle blows and the great engines slow down. there is a grand rush for something to eat end drink. The milk is generally in bottles for quick handling. wbile the sandwich dealers also have ready their products. The onslaught is something terrific. and in very shert or- der the eatables and drinkables disappear. Several restaurants in the neighborhood also do rustling business while in a couple of saloons close by the workmen will be found in rows four and Ave deep waiting to be attended to. Ten minutes generally suffices for a lunch. and then comes ielaxation-eiears snd pipes are produced, and smoke circles up from a thousand points until again the whistle blows, and then back go the men to work.

stock speculation has magnined it many times.
 The visible supply in this country Is mostly invisible and is purposely kept so. There Is practically no visible supply of merchantable copper in England and France.
 The domestic situation justifies good price for copper. It may be IT cents or 1e cents or 15 cents. The foreign situation justines a price some cents lower. per haps IA cents, or 1s cents, or l2 cents. European consumers will buy only as they must buy. American consumers are in about the same attitude, yet would probably buy freely if the price was stable.
 The Amalgamated people appear to be antagonizing the copper industry by their endeavor to maintain a higher price than the world at large can afford to pay, and in doing this they arc limiting corsump- ton and stimulating production the world 1 over. aA | Wall street in New York and State street in Boston perceives all of these things and many more. They perceive the l speculative Sf0e Ot Ire enleTpIise iueS are mindful of the overoapitalized posi- tion of the Amalgamated' Company. The promoters of the concern capitalized boom and made many enemies by the manner of doing 1t. The company itself has supplied the speculative world with all the material needed for a speculative campaign.
 | It Is impossible to throw the clear light upon tho mass of report and rumor now I current. What amount of copper is being sold and the price are surrounded with considerable doubt, but the indications are that three-quarters of what is said is bassless. Copper has been sold in small way at r cents within few days. i It would probably relieve the tension tre- mendously if the Amalgamated people would dismount from their monopoly horse and put copper down to price more in harmony with the worlds trade l conditions.

RslIsvss h cIaIvoyants.

Kendall Weston. for . long time leading man in the Boyle Stock Company playing at the Auditorium is inclined to oeheSs there is a virtue in clairvoyants' ana he tells an inter esting story to supseah- tiate his belief.
 'At one time I had the management oI a stock theatre In Albany, N' |" p"iu the actor, "and had succeeded In hllraee- ing considerable patronage. One week put on what thought was great snow, and expected lai ge houses all during the week. You can imagine my surprise ana dismay when the first two nights brought nothing but few patrons and similar number of deadheads The show was as good as we had put on during the sea son, and there were fine actors in the cast, and I was perplexed. This thing was repeated on the third night and de- cided to go and see eiairvoyant, more to satisfy my wounded feelings than any thing else,
 'The clairvoyant bore the name or Kouraa and when walked into his office he made the usual mysterious salutations and told me to be seated. He ran his fingers across my palms and looking me in the eye told me my full Christian name. This was remarkable to me- as had never told anyone In that city my full name. Monsieur Kouraa then toid me to ask the questions that l wantea answered, but keep them to myseir ana he would answer by mind reading. This clairyoyant was the seventh son or n seventh son, and I readily saw was en- dowed with great powers, so l mentally asked. What in the thunder Is the mat ter with my business and how can 1t DO remedied?
 "I will answer them all at once, quickly said M. Kouraa, and pointing ms finger to the door. said, Go look under your desk I immediately had visions of a gold mine, but the clairvoyant said had no use for picks and shoveis.
 Straight to the desk I went, and LOOK ing under the desk I found all my pa pers'. which should have been adorning dead walls and fences, kicked back be- hind the desk There was not flaming poster up in Albany, and began to see light. In an hour the bill posters were at work, and we had a packed house that night.

can be found in shakespeare-"with eyes sparkling for very vrath"--and some of them cannot be. In the course of six lines the President uses the word three times. and no one of the three is felicitous.
 Now and then he forgets that he Is writing a great State paper-one of the greatest that man writes In this world; and when such sentences as this occur. Cuba will then start as her own mistress; and to the beautiful Queen of the Antilles, as she unfclds this new page of her destiny. we ex- tend our heartiest greetings and good wishes"-we feel that there Is more cordiality and perhaps more poetry in evidence than dignity.
 These are, however, minor faults. The use of the word standpoint" three times Is no credit to alma mater, yet he employs the word 'jeoparded," re- sisting all temptation to introduce the Websterian word "jeopardized," and this should serve as a full excuse of all verbal or even rhetorical errors In the yneasaRe

Boston, December i.-(special)--The squeeze in copper has cost Thomas W. Lawson s1s.00o.0oo. This statement is bas- ed on his own admissions.
 To boston financiers MT. I.awson's posi- ton Is a puzzle. As friend, he is frank and open as the air; as speculatof he is usually as silent and mysterious as the sphinx, even to his intimates.
 There has been an apparently well founded belief the last week that Law son had disposed of his holdings of 242 900 shares Of Anaigamated and that he was now on the right side of the market. These mental speculatons were jared yesterday when Mir. Lawson issued an open letter. in which he said vehemently that he had not disposed of his stock, and, further, that no mortal man could get 1t, evn if it went to sI a share.
 So, taking MT. Lawson's statement that he holds 242,o0o shares of Amalgamated and that his losses when his stock sold at Ss were s7.OoO.000. it would seem that he has suffered further shrinkage of sS,S72,000 or total of nearly SIP, 900, 900 ir
 
 one stock.
 Amaigamated Copper is the living object upon the speculative seas. On Saturday the stock rose to 76 from close at 75h fell to 721k and recovered to 74S. when the day ended with 75 bid on the New York curb. after adjournment of the Stock Exchange.
 For several days wild gossip has been current regarding the Amalgama ated Cop. per company. and the markets of two continents have been used to achieve some secret purpose. What that purpose may be is a subject for conjecture.
 The industrial side is simple one The proposition is thus: There has been an overproduction of copper. which Anal. ga1nated people are seeking to offset by curtailing the output of certain mines which they control. The overproductior arises from reduced foreign consumption and from the high nominal price. This overproduction, even considered from tht highest claim of surplus; is not large. but

Mere Verbal Matters,

The style of the message is vogor- ous and luminous beyond perhaps any preceding message. The sentences are short and easily read and understood. So far as mere style Is concerned 1t would be commendable if there were not in it lapses into magazinism, so to speak. For example. in discussing anarchy. he says: 'If ever anarchy Is triumphant. it's triumph will last for but one red moment, to be succeeded for ages by the gloomy night of des. potism." This is almost as good poetry as Byron's phrase. "in one red burial blent."
 Varied uses of the word flor" are a feature of the message. Some of the us es of this vexatious little proposition

From the Monterey News.
 The bull fight yesterday at the Santa Lucia bull ring was the most stirring and best, judging from the number of startling events which occurred, that has been witnessed in Monterey in many years. Never before have such fierce and active bulls been pitted against the skill of men in the arena of this city and mere than half of the time the hearts of the spectators were in their mouths because of the many and narrow escapes from what appeared almost certain death. As 1t was three men were injured, two of which it was at first thought were seriously hurt The bulls were from the "Guaname" ranch in Durango, which has established such reputation for the pro- duction of its fighting bulls. They were all black in color and combined the fierceness and blood-thirstiness of a Ben ge. tiger with the fieetnesss and jump ing abilities of a deer. They, were ex- tremely large and powerful and in clear ing the inclosure frequently jumped al- most into the spectators In the grand stand. The first bull caught one of the picadores in the middle of the ring and killed his horse on the first charge. hav- ing gore6 him through the lungs. The banderillas were then placed and one of the two matadors ordered to finish the animal. after many efforts to find a vital spot which proved unavailng, al- though the matador showed great strength, the judges ordered the animal lasooed end put out of his misery.
 The second bull came into the ring on dead run, and soon had picadores and toreros running in every direction. trying to avoid him. One of the picadores, Ilanacia Carranza, finally made a stand before the furious animal and horse and man were bowled over by the first charge. The bull struck the horse with such force that one of his horns pierced clean through the animals neck. The picador received a three-inch wound in his right leg, although 1t was protected by an iron covering. It looked Tor a moment as though the man would be killed as the bull could not disengage his born from the horse and was tramping on both horse and man. He finally extricated him. self and was attracted away from where Caranza was pinned down under the dead

For the first time in the history of England" says a magazine writer, young women have been touched with the gambling fever" In old gambling times. as in Queen An. nie's days, and under the Georges, it was only men that gambled. or if some women did they were the old women. such as Jane Austen, Fielding and Thackeray describe But now In mak. ing up house parties the girls who don't play are left out.

HOUSE RULED
By the Senate After a Twenty.Year
 Struggle.

From AlnSleeS s maBdzlne.
 For twenty years the Senate has been gaining on the House. It has seized one advantage after another until it has things about its own way Its limited membership and unlimited debate give individual Senators free play. The House has grown so big that it has been com pelled to cut off debate and put arbi- trary power in the hands of the Speaker. It has to act promptly as unit if it is to act at all. On questions of legisla- tion where serious differences arise with the Senate it frequently has to take a measure or reject 1t just as it stands. It originates legislation. It sends bill over to the Senate and tho Senate amends it. It is in the power of small group of Senators. and sometimes. at the close of a session. in the power of single Senator. to prevent the passage of any bill. There are times when any Senator with a small following. by threatening long debate, can compel amendments which are satisfactory to him. A measure, thus amended so as to insure the support of a majority of the Senate. goes back to the House. where 1t originated. If it is measure invoiv- ing party policy the House has to take 1t, or else run the risk of sending 1t back to the Senate argain with amend ments that will arouse hmitless discus sion importing it's fate In nine cases out of ten the House, under protest, will accept the Senate amendments rather than run the risk of defeating the bill altogether. and right. hero is where a master of legislation like Aidrich has his power. Having secured the kind of a bill he wants in the Senate he convinces the House that it must take that or nothing
