THE RATE IS REDUCED.
Coal Will Be Hauled to Montgomery
 at Lower Figure.

Some weeks ago the Transportation Committee of the Commercial Indus- trial Association took up the question of a reduction in the rate on coal and iron to Montgomery from the Birming- ham district. Investigation developed the fact that Montgomery was paying a much higher rate in proportion than other cities at greater distances from Birmingham. As a result manufactur- CTS using coal or iron at Montgomery were at decided disadvantage in com- petition for business.
 Monday the railroads reduced the rate on coal 10 cents, per ton. so that now Montgomery has a rate of $1 per ton 1t is not known as yet whether or not the committee will ask for a further reduction. No definite reply has been made in regard to the pig iron rate.

The Ho9ue Proferfl.

The report that the members of the
arbitration tribunal OF The Hague con
ference are to protest against Joseph
Chamberlain's speech on the employ
ment of Kaffirs against the Beers in
South Africa is the first sign Of life
we have had from that quarter in a
long time. 1t is timely. The discov-
cry that Great Britain has been arm
ing savages against the little remnant
Of the republican forces is the latest
series of revolving revelations that
have deprived her of the last spark Of
foreign sympathy.
1t was agreed in the beginning on
both sides that this was to be a white
mans war. Had 1t been otherwise the
Beers could have offered such induce
ments to the huge masses of savages
~enveioping the British settlements as
would have turned them loose upon
Cape Colony and Natal. The odds on
a white basis are so tremendous
against the little republics that the
enlistment of Kaffirs against them ap-
pears peculiarly mean. Are not the
5 1000, 900 people of European blood in
the British Empire enough to dispose
of a quarter of a million Beers, with
out having to call in the black barba-
rians of Africa?-Chicago American.

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.

AIuminium Has Not Proved So Useful
n, Was Once Predicted.
A dozen years OF SO ago. when
aluminium was first placed in the mar
ket 1t was scarce and dear. 1t was
predicted that it would ultimately be
used for a great variety of purposes.
These expectations unfortunately have
not been realized. AS time went on 1t
was discovered that, contrary to what
was first believed. it was readily acted
upon by solutions of many salts, by
acids. including vinegar. n especially
by alkalies. though 1t excelled copper
in the resistance which it offered to
nitric acid. Besides, aluminium for
kitchen utensils and the like has the
great objection that 1t blackens the
hands like lead. To obviate this draw
back 1t Is not frequently coated with
a layer of silver, but this in itself is
no easy matter, for aluminium is so
porous that it retains water and i'm
purities obstinately, with the result
that bubbles are formed in the electro
polishing process. The chief remedy
is to thoroughly cleanse the aluminium
and to give it a preliminary coating
with another metal. preferably copper,
before silvering. Several patents have
recently been taken out for processes
on these lines. Another great draw
back to the general use of aluminium
is hat 1t has hitherto been very diff
ficult to unite W separate pieces of
the metal. This objection. however,
will probably be met by the welding
process Of Heraeus, which has recently
been protected in several countries. In
this the welding is SO complete that
the juncture is practically invisible
and the aluminium can be rolled out
to a thin sheet without separating into
its component parts.

that women are running the t%ypograph-
ical trade. Women printers, 1t de
%clares, work for thirty and fifty per
cen less wages than the men. This,
together with the ~typesetting machines
and other improvements in machinery,
has made the trade OF printers next to

children from becoming printers. To

Va. in a %southerly direction, well into
the bounds of North Carolina. Its
deep shades, great stretches Of brake
and its very solitude make 1t a region
OF interest. To the naturalist and
sportsman 1t has much to offer. In its
silent Businesses. the black bear finds
a home admirably adapted to his pro-
lection and in every way favorable to
his increase d Here. amid the dense
growth of underbrush and, timber, he
may live in comparative safety. And
there is perhaps no locality in the
whole eastern United States of like ex-
tent which can offer a larger bear pop
ulation than this great morass. The
white-tailed deer is also an abundant
denizen OF the swamp, ~frequenting the
elevated parts. In addition to the deer
and bears, there is a big-game feature
OF a rather Unusual nature. The
swamp abounds in wild cows. These

were lost to their owners. finally be-
coming wild. Being no longer recog-
nized as property the sportsman may
call game all that he may have the
prowess to shoot. Lake Drummond,
some ten miles from Suffolk. Va, is
the only body of water in the swamp.
1t is a beautiful sheet of water, of an
oval contour, and fringed with a
heavy growth of timber, mostly cy-
press, white cedar and black gum. Its
water is of a dark green color, owing
to the decaying vegetation of the sur
rounding country. but is suitable to

The Heart of a Woman.
BY GARRARD HARRIS.

Copyright. 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
They sat before smouldering fire In
the little cabin, the two old people,
upon whom the burden Of years rest
ed with no caressing weight. On every
line of their features, %unceasing toll,
barren hardship and the lot of sordid
poverty were written indelibly.
Not a word was spoken. Once in
a while a tear welled from the old
woman's eyes. and rolled silently
down the withered cheek, wrinklcd
and furrowed with time and sorrow.
The old man said nothing, but stared
at the embers with a dazed, hopeless
expression.
1t was a sad affair, the killing Of
Joe Wilson by his brother Jim. Joe
was by far the best one of the two
young men-a quiet fellow, who had
stood by the old folks manfully, and
done his full share towards making
the evening of their lives a little more
comfortable than 1t otherwise would
have been. He was sober, steady, Ii
well liked by every one. Especially
was he fond Of his mother-he was
always showing 1t by little thoughtful
acts. To her, he was all there was in
life, she had few dreams Of happiness
beyond him.
On h contrary, Jim was about the
most trifling limb of Satan in the en-
tire settlement. He was drunk hall
the time. and manifested a deep and
steady aversion to the strenuous life.
His associates and intimates were Of
the lowest. and altogether, he was a
pretty tough customer. He cared
nothing for his parents, or God, or
man, and upon several occasions had
struck his mother, while his tottering
old father was thoroughly cowed by
him. Strange to say, OF the two boys,
Jim was the fathers favorite.
He'll get over all this after a
while, mother; it's jest the young
blood In him. He don't mean no harm
by it-why, / used ter be mighty nigh
as wild as Jim"
Yes, but l know you never struck
your pore old mother, nor yer pa
nov did you?"
mo. 1 must say l never done that.
But Jim were drinkin' some. or he'd
a never lone 1t. neither"
The woman sighed. Jim was al
ways defended, while the least short
coming on the part of Joe had the
effect Of bringing his father n Jim
down on him without mercy. And
now. Joe was dead by his brothers
hand. and the brother was in jail
charged with his murder. The quaver-
ing voice of the old man interrupted
her thoughts of the dead boy.
Yer amt agoin' ter wear Jim's
life away. air We. Nance?" There vas
a long silence in the dreary room.
NO." she replied after a while. 81

killing was the mother of the two
boys, and 1t was generally understood
that she was very bitter indeed
against Jim, and desired his punish
ment should be the extreme penalty.
which was death.
The grand jury was empaneled. and
the district attorney had her sum-
moned before that tribunal.
Now, madam" he said, 81 want
you to tell the grand jury all about
this unfortunate affair. l understand
you are the only eye witness. Hold
up your right hand. Do you solemn
ly swear that the testimony you are
about to give in this case shall be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, SO help you. Almighty
God?"
Il do" she whispered.
We'll go on now, and tell what
you know about it,"
There amt much to TELL" she said,
in a low voice. Joe and Jim was
in the room quarlin'. and suddenly.
Joe says to Jim. you Internal %scounl.
I'm agoin' ter kill you right now and
reached. back for his pistol, and Jim
got his'n out first, and feed, and Joe
fell: Jim had ter shoot ter save him
self"
Amusement was depleted on the
faces Of the grand Jurors. The dis
trict attorney looked at the witness
keenly. THAT is sufficient. you may
go. The case is nolle pressed"
The jurors saw the old woman rejoin
her husband. and the two go dodder-
ing over to the Jail to receive their
son. the murderer. who walked out
a free man.
There's no telling what a woman
will do" remarked the district attor-
ney, as he proceeded to look into the
matter OF the State against Tom
Jones, for the larceny of a pig.

IT'S Absorptiye Powers for small Change
Enormous.
The dearth of half-penny pieces, or
pieces valued at az cents. in Holland.
has caused a new class of merchants
to spring into existence, namely. the
half-penny merchant. writes an Am
sterdam correspondent. The scarcity
of the coin in question has been
caused by the widespread employ
ment of the automatic gas meter. into
which the Dutch housewife puts her
half-pence. In the Netherlands 1t is
the largest copper coin made. hence
the 2h-cent piece or ~half-penny Is be-
ing used for the gas meters and auto
matte machines generally. The Dutch
mint Toes nothing to ease the scarcity,
with the result that slowly but surely
the half-penny is disappearing from
use among the general public. The
dealers in these coins sell them at the
rate of one penny premium for every
