PIG IRON SCORES
 ANOTHER ADVANCE
Price Marked Up g Cents Per Ton Yesterday--Market Active
 and Healthy.

The price of pig iron was advanced 25 cents a ton in this district yester- day. This is the second advance of 25 cents within ten days, and indicates a healthy and active market. Tn fact, officials of the local furnace companies state that they sold more iron in Feb ruary than in any previous month within year. The gross sales made by Birmingham companies in that month aggregate between 175,000 and 100000 tons, or the equivalent to the entire output of all of the furnaces now in blast in Alabama for a period of nine weeks.
 The present activity in the iron mar ket, which had it's beginning about the 1st of February, the furnace men believe will continue throughout the year. It seems to be on a more sub stantial basis than the boom that pre- vailed during the latter part of 1899 and the early part of 1900. There is an absence of the feyerish excitement and the tendency to run the price of iron to ian abnormal figure that char acterized the market year ago. The consumption at present Is greater than ever before in the history of the coun- try and the indications are favorable to still further increase.
 In speaking of the recent advance in the price of iron and the demand for the Alabama product, an official

CRITICISM OF
 HOUSE EMPLOYES
Special Committee Says That Congressman Want Too
 Many Appointments

Washington, February 2S.-The report ef the special committee of the House which investigated the employment rolls was made public today by Chairman Moody. It says that some of the faults observed In administration of the matters of the House are attributable to the per Bistence of members of the House In urg ing upon the officers the appointment of their constituents and friends to subordi- nate places and that such faults arc deep ly rooted, of long standing. and likely to continue under the administration of any political party, as long as such a system is maintained"
 Tho committee finds nothing to criti- else in the House post office or sergeant at-arms' office. Of the offices of the clerk and doorlseeper, the committee reports that they found in both departments cer- tain abuses which may be grouped under three heads namely, transfers of em- ployes of the duties of the position to which they were appointed to other posi- tions. unjustlfoblo payment to employees while absent from their posts of duty and divisions of salaries.
 Under each heading the committee spec flied number of individual instances The committee says that the amount of absenteeism Is very considerable. It Is said that one employe has not worked over six months in nearly six years. during which he has drawn pay and has not been in Washington for year Many cases of contributions by employees of salaries are mentioned one of them In the last Con gross being $500 annually out of a salary of $500 It Is explained that those contri- buttons went towards equalllng salaries of other employees The committee finds no evidence of the practice of assessment contribution or diyisig8 of salaries in the present Congress- rho committee ] says in conelusion--HWc believe that tho abuses and evil practices which have long been in practice. @ system of ap- po,ntment by House employees cannot be full wand completely prevented except by 9 permanent statute which shall prop erly and equitably adjust compensation and employment and specifically prevent the abaseH which have been herein re- ported

of one of the largest companies in the State said to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday:
 The sales of iron in this month are greater than in any month within the past twelve. While there Is a little hesitancy on the part of buyers, as Is always the case when advances are being made, inquiries are numerous and everything indicates that the con- sumers will take the iron at the price, and that the consumption this year will be greater than in any previous year"
 Prices quoted yesterday after the advance was announced are as fol lows: No. 1 foundry, SIP; No. 1 soft, $11.75; No. 2 foundry and No. ? soft, s1125; No. foundry, s1075; No. 4 foundry, s1o.25; gray forge, $10.
 At present there are twenty-six coke and three charcoal furnaces in blast in the State, twenty-one of the coke fur naces being in the Birmingham dis trict The combined weekly output Is about 21, 1000 tons, or s5,000 tons a month The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company will start it's Sheffield furnace in April and the two Wood stock furnaces at Anniston, the Talla- dega furnace, the Trussville furnace and perhaps one or two others will be put in blast by early summer. This would bring the weekly production to about 25,000 or 26,000 tons.

THE BRUNSWICK
 AND BIRMINGHAM
Rapid Progress is Being Made. Work of aying the
 Track

The Glynn County Pickett of Bruns- wick, Ga, has the following with regard to the Brunswick and Birmingham Rail- road:
 Work on the Brunswick and Birming- ham Railroad is progressing at rapid rate By the time The Pickett gets out thIs week the track will be laid through what was up to last week a portion of the old cemetery, All the week force of hands have been engaged in removing bodies from this portion, which Is in Cochran avenue, thereby opening up the street, and affording room for the track of the Brunswick and Birmingham. It is probable that track will be laid down to Dennis Policy so as to have conven- fences for unloading rails there. The grading out in the country is being pushed right along, and behind the grad CTS the track layers are closely follow ing. The line has been permanently To- cated as far as Big Buffalo Creek, and while this is being permanently leveled, the construction department Is going over the reports made to the railroad company at the convention. and such re- ports sent in since then, and thereby To- eating the whole route of the road to Birmingham This will take about two weeks longer. There are so many routes in prospect and such excellent reasons why each is best. that unusual research is being made into the merits and claims of these reports. Every mall brings in letters of inquiry, and some with more data The interest In the work of this department Is being deeply felt.
 The executive committee of the Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad convention is compiling this data for pub lication. The response from the counties regarding their part in this pamphlet will show how they view the value 1t will be to them and their future. Already numerous requests are coming from New York Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and London for them. It will be one of the most valued statistical records of Geor- gia and Alabama and will be used years from now as a basis of concise infor- nation. This fact Is being appreciated by the counties interested, and they are losing no effort to have their part full and complete"

 Years.

The Birmingham Clearing House Asso- citation reports bank clearances for the month of February to have been $s,9Sl, s63 .37, which Is a substantial gain over the clearings for February, 1900. and almost double the cleerings for February 1899, when they were sS.167. 4s and g, ,o91, 86s.- 52 respectively. This shows an increasa of s814, ,157.4s over the clearings in February. 1900. and s1,ssa. .ss4. .Ss gain over the clear ings of February, 1S99
 There were only twenty-one banking days in February, and in view of this fact the statement of the clearing house makes a remarkable showing, the clear ances falling only about half million dollars below January figures.

A BIRMI NGHAM FIRM
 HIGHLY COMMENDED
PROMPT SHIPMENT OF PUMP BY THE MiLNER-kETTlG COMPANY
 SAVED TEN LIVES.

When the disaster occurred at the hos the officials of the hospital wired the Mill ner and Kettig Company of this city to send immediately a pump and equipment for removing the water from the mine As will be remembered by Herald readers a portion of the hospital coal mine caved in and the mine was thereby flooded with water Thirteen miners were entombed and remained there for three days. Immediately after the disaster oo- cured a telegram was sent to the Birm- ingham firm to send a pump. The tele- gram was received by Milner and Kettig Company at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and fifteen minutes later the pump and equipment was being loaded on to the train for shipment.
 Yesterday the Milner and Kettig Con- Lany received the following letter from the hospital officials:
 Alabama Insane Hospital, Tusca-
 loosa, February H, 1901. 'Messrs. Milner and Kettig Company,
 Birmingham, Ala:
 "Gentlemen-Find herewith our check for s37s97 (three hundred and seventy eight dollars and ninety-seven cents) in payment of your invoice of the 22d inst, which please receipt and return.

 Again thanking you for your kind ness, very truly yours,

Alas. and Alack.

To the Editor of the Age Herald.
 I write to commend most emphatically your out-spoken advocacy of the school book law now pending In the Senate. l have taught for number of years in this State, and know only too well the present condition of affairs in regard to the lack of uniformity of text books When I read the crushing weight of evil dence In favor of the bill now pending, l could not believe that the bill could possibly be defeated. I have looked in vain for an argument In opposition to the bill. and have seen or heard of none. Parents, with limited means, all over this State are earnestly hoping that the bill will become a law. I have discussed the question at many points in this sec ton of the State. and I have yet to find a single man who Is opposed to 1t. Monster petitions signed by the best and most influential people in the State could easily be secured in it's favor, and the only reason 1t has not been done Is that nearly everybody felt it was useless, be- lieving that the bill would pass both houses without very much opposition There Is no bill, so far as I have seen, that has been before the Legislature that will affect the entire population of the State for good as the uniform text book bill. The beneflcent results should it pass, will be felt at once, and where 1t Is most needed. I earnestly beg you that you will keep the fight up till your efforts are crowned with success. The masses of the people will owe you a debt of grati- tude for time and labor spent in their be- half.
 I am, very sincerely,
