1OOO BARRELS IF
 CEMENT FOR CUBA
EnSIey Plant is Now Filling tn
 Order
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
Product Has Been Shipped to Mobile Ready to Be Loaded On 9 Vessel for HaVana-Competing
 With Germany.

Besides the engines that the East Bie- mingham Company is making for Caha tho Birmingham Cement Company, nov in full operation at Ensley. is filling aa order for 1000 barrels of Portland cement This order has already been shipped r. Mobile. where it will be put on a sailing vessel. thus cutting the price of this cement much below the cements from Germany when delivered in Havana. The Birmingham Cement Company makes as high grade cement as any German plant does. and the Ensley mill proposes to drive German cement out of Cuba.
 This shipment of cement is another foroible evidence of the greatness and possibility of the Birmingham district, and marks another step in the progress that will ultimately make Birmingham the largest manufacturing city in the United States. The opening of the Cuban trade indicates the illimitable field of the local manufacturers, and with the open ing of the Warrior to tide water naviga- tion, Birmingham will not only be mis- tress of the iron world, but of every com modity made in this district.

THE LINKS" ARE
 FORMING SLOWLY
MiI|er's Endless Chain Scheme isLagging, But May Yet
 Pan Out

Frank Mller's "endless chain" is evil dently broken, or at least the connecting links are not forming as rapidly as it was at first thought they would,
 The famous prisoners recent letter of appeal to Sister Xavier, a good Sister of Charity of New York, suggesting an 'endless cha!n,' was started on its mis- sion, and the publication of the facts soon brought a number of replies and a small sum of money which it was thought would be further augmented as the chain grew.
 During the past few days letters ceased to come; but one containing ten cents was received yesterday, the first in three days.
 It is possible that the letters will be- gin to spread. and as each letter can form a chain of it's own, the scheme may yet pan out we'll
 Miller is confident that his appeal will be answered.
