InterestIna ComparIsons.

"The Birmingham real estate market has been somewhat more active this week than 1t was early in May said promi- nent agent yesterday.
 Prices for vacant property here are 100 per cent better than they were two and half or three years ago. but they are still too low when compared with values in other cities. Fashionable resi- dence sites in Montgomery and Mobile bring 50 per cent more than the same class of property in Birmingham, while in Atlanta real estate in desirable sections commands 75 to 100 per cent more money than the best lots here are offered for.
 'The reverse should be the case. Values here are intrinsicaly better than those in other Southern cities for Birmingham has greater future than any town be- tween Louisville and New Orleans"

HE onls DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Driven Out by Dinqleyism.

J. Pierpont Morgan purchased the celebrated Mannheim collection of art treasures, paying for it, it is said, $2,500,000. intending to place it where the American people could enjoy it and get benefit from 1t. But after the purchase was made MT. Morgan ascer- tained that Dingleyism would tax him the collection to this country. He has therefore placed 1t in the South Ken sington Museum in London. Whether this is permanent or temporary disposition of the valuable collection is not known. Mr. Morgan's refusal to be outrageously taxed by the gov ernment on a gift to the people is wholly commendable. Such an out rage should be resented to the utmost.
 The deterpination of the robbers to leave no loophole in the Chinese wall they were erecting accounts for duties upon gifts to the people. The Dingley tariff is the vilest rohber measure this country or any other country has ever known. A valuable art collection is lost to the people in order that few may not lose single dollar that they can extract from the people. The shameful terms of the Dingley tariff are before the people now, and the Morgan gifs will serve to explain it's robber nature.

Smallpox in the Country.

The American Medicine has com piled public health reports showing the number of cases of smallpox from December 2S, 1900, to May 3, 1901. In all there were 22,344 cases and 349 deaths as against S3S8 cases and 498 deaths in the corresponding period of the previous season. The mortality was lessened. but the number of cases was trebled nearly. The disease could be stamped out if the characterization cranks and public lethargy could be done away with.
 In Alabama there were 45 cases and 3 deaths against 172 cases and 1 death in the previous winter. Tennessee led all the States, having between Decem- Der 28 and May last 4229 cases and 98 deaths. Tn New York 106 deaths occurred, but they came from 5S1 cases only. Kansas comes next with 3915 cases and 20 deaths; Minnesota, with 2753 cases; Colorado, with 1763 cases; Ohio, with 1885 cases and 21 deaths; North Carolina, S34 cases; Utah, 724 cases; Oklahoma, 690 cases; Georgia, zz cases; Mississippi, cases.
 The States freest from the disease were Connecticut, g cases; Idaho, 10 cases; Maine, 1 case; Nevada, case; Oregon, 10 cases; Rhode Island and South Carolina, each 10 cases, and Wyoming, cases. The disease gained a foothold in every State, and in Ten nessee it became verHnearly epidemic. Somebody is certainly at fault when disease that can be met by vaccina- tion is permitted to be trebled in a single winter. Unless it is well handled next winter the country will have from 10000 to 4o,DoO cases to report in the following May.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 No two women can ever be friends with each all if 1t weren't for their husband's s scarfpins.
 I wonder how most women could wear any lace at all If 1t weren't for their hus- bands scarfpins.
 A woman contortionist must be perfectly happy, because, she can look at the back of her dress whenever she wants to.
 If the average woman had head shaped like duck. she would thirk she had to wear her hair low down or %ber neck when It was the fashion that wasSa

MARvELs OF THE ARC LIGHT.
from Leslie,s Weekly

From LeSlie'S Weekly.
 The arc light, the most brilliant of artificial lights, followed as natural re- suit of the generation of electricity by the dynamo, and~ each light absorbs nearly one horse power There are more than 5000 arc lights burning at night in Greater New York, and fully forty-two tons of coal every hour are consumed. One horse power can furnish current enough to keep about twelve incandescent electric lamps lighted and in Greater New York there are now in use over 100000 of these lamps. The total power required for the electric lighting of this great city Is certainly not less than 100000 horse power. or more than are combined power equipments of all the ships of the United States navy.

Where He Gets Ideas.

From the Tuscaloosa Sun.
 Our country exchanges are full of ideas We really get more original ideas from the country weekly than from the big city daily Our country contemporary usually writes his editorials with the knowledge that he must write something new. Ere quently there are no news items to be picked up and he can expect no relief from the Associated Press. So with one country contemporary 1t Is case of root hog or die"

John W. O'Nein of the Jeerson Coun- ty delegation in the Constitutional Con- vention and secretary of the committee on taxation, is fast familiarizing himself with convention work. The position of secretary of so important a committee as that appointed to consider the ques- tion of taxation involves much labor, but the honor is considerable and one that any delegate might appreciate.

From Memphis.

Hundreds of ex-Confederates were seen on the streets of Birmingham yesterday. Some of them grumbled about their Mem- phis fare, but the majority whom the Age-Herald representative interviewed expressed themselves as well pleased with the reunion and with the treatment they received at the hands of the people of Memphis.
 MT. William Berney of Montgomery was one of the vets who was glad he attended the reunion. He was accom- panied by his daughter and both of them expressed delight with the hospitality of Memphis.
