WEATHER MEANS
 MUCH TO A CIRCUS
Representative of Sells & Gray Show Says a Prophet
 is Needed

"A meteorological man who could con- trol. or even predict, the state of the weather" said representative of Sells and Grays United Shows, which are com ing to Birmingham for two performances on Monday, April P, would be an inval- uable acquisition to any circus proprietor, and certainly command salary of princely proportions from any white tent combination in. the land. Because" con- tinued the speaker, ''the weather is al- most paramount factor in the success of a travelling show. It Is as important to the snowman in a business way as it Is to society as a subject of conversation. Notice the prominence given to the wealth CT in the route books of all tent shows. These books are published towards the close of each season and contain, among other features of interest, list of towns visited with a record of the incidental ppenings-humorous, pathetic and trag- ic-in each place.
 Mention of the weather's condition al- ways occupies top line, next to pure read ing matter. in these show dairies and even an uninitiated person, or hey Rube' as they call the tenderfoot of the tents, could tell the season of the year and the month, without noticing the date, by simply reading the weather line. It starts off in the spring with statements to the effect that 1t Is cool and clear or 'balmy and fine, merges into warm and cloudy for April and May to fine and clear for June. Then it reads hot and dusty through the days of July to hot, dry and dusty during August, with grad ual changes in September and October, till 1t gets to cool and clear again or rainy, and finally to cold, about which time the diary suddenly comes to an end because the show folds tents for the sea- son and silently steals into winter seclu- sion, the quiet modesty of it's going be- ing in striking contrast to the manner of it's coming.
 Up to the present." the speaker con- cluded, Sells and Gray's shows have had fine weather since opening in Savannah week ago, with just rain enough to keep the band wagon and animal cages looking as though they had just rolled out of a gold and silver paint shop.'

REAL ESTATE DISCUSSION.
MT. Leedy Shows Why the Demand
 Will Lontinue Active.

Editor Of the Age-Herald: can but feel fiattered when you say in your let ter of the 11th inst to me that you have been very much impressed with the ar ticle I recently contributed through the columns of an afternoon contemporary on the subject "Is Birmingham Real Es- tate Good Investment" and as the ar- ticle so clearly sustains my answer in the affirmative, that you would be glad to hear from me through the columns of the .Age-Herald on kindred subject, viz: 'Will Birmingham Real Estate Continue in Active Demand, and If So, Why?"
 In reply permit me to say it is well Known fact that no real improvement up to the panic of 1893 was manifest until 1897, then commenced gradual apprecia- tion. month by month, until in 1899 the &C., tivity was so marked as to attract the attention of investors from all parts of the country. Tn my opinion the demand will continue good and attract eastern capital for the reason that the earning capacity is lessning or decreasing every year, and money will naturally seek more remunerative fields. Then what field is more inviting than this great and grow ing city of ours? What is true of eastern capital can be more forcibly applied to the south and particularly Alabama. And why? It cannot be gainsaid that this state, like all southern states, is grad ually settling down to a strictly man. ufacturing and agricultural basis. The country merchant doing business in the smaller towns have. I am informed, seen their business gradually decline. or fall off by degrees for several years because the farmer, whom the merchant has re- lied on for the bulk of his business, were raising more of the necessaries of life at home, thereby becoming more self-reliant and as a result purchasing less from them. Now unless factories are estab- lished in different localities, whose pay rolls will supplement the loss of the farmers trade, assume the men engagI in mercantile pursuits will be forced to remove to localities where pay rolls do exist This, of course, necessarily in- creases the demand for real estate and what more inviting field can they find than Birmingham? This city is now att tracting the attention of merchants of Alabama as well as the south, and they are removing and investing, and some are remaining at home and employing their surplus here in real estate.
 These, MT. Editor are my reasons, has, tily expressed. 'Why Birmingham Real Estate Will Continue in Active De- mand." Yours truly, W. B. LEEDY.
