DR. LEWIS MORRIS
 DAUGHTER IS DEAD
Little Susie Martin Morris Died in North Carolina Yesler-
 day-Funeral Monday

Little Susie Martin Morris, the little 1S- months-old daughter of Dr. Lewis Cole man Morris of Birmingham. died in Hem dersonville. N. C., yesterday afternoon after protracted illness.
 Almost everybody in Birmingham felt something of a personal interest in this which they will struggle will be the plac- sorrow into a great many homes of this city this morning. Her fair young moth CT, who was Miss Susie Martin, one of the most beautiful and universally loved young women who ever graced Bir- mingham society, died when the child was but two weeks old, and only year to day after her brilliant marriage to Dr. Morris.
 Sorrow for the death of the young mother still rests upon many hearts, which loved the orphan child ali the more tenderly because of tho mothers sad passing away. The child had never been altogether strong. A few months after her mothers death she suffered a long and dangerous illness, after which she seemed to gain vital strength and there was good reason to hope that she would survive. all the ills of childhood. Much of the time she was kept in North Carolina for the benefit of that climate. Some weeks ago she became alarmingly i'll, and since that time it has been a struggle with death. -4 The sleeping form of this fair little child, dead before her time, is being brought to Birmingham to be laid by the side of her sleeping young mother on Oak Hill tomorrow.
 All the people will sympathize with Dr. Morris, who is greatly afflicted. Eighteen months ago he lost his bride-wffe; two months ago death took from his his only brother, Dr. Edward Morris, and now his only child is gone.

SUB-TRoPlcAL RAMBLEs. The Authors Experiences.

U. S. Consul Pike, of Port Louis, Maur- titus, has written a charming book upon this gem of the ocean, the home of Paul and Virginia.
 Colonel Pike. whose New York address is 43 Exchange Place, had curious ex- perience with coffee and the beverage al- most destroyed his eyesight.
 He says, Speaking of coffee. my first warning against it's use was insomnia fol- lowed by depression, and despondency. The nervous system was in such con- dition that could not attend to business, and to my distress I discovered that my eyesight was becoming more and more imperfect every day. From my know ledge of the symptoms of coffee poison ing, I concluded to leave off the coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee in it's place. fs ~
 ''The results were astonishing. Gradu- ally my eyesight recovered, and the nerv- ous condition and depressed feeling dis appeared I have now been using Post um in place of coffee for several years and am in perfect health.
 "My family of six persons discarded coffee some time ago and use Postum I would not be without it. It is most valuable addition to the breakfast table and should be in every household"

MINERS WANT THEIR
 PAY TWICE A MONTH
That and the Eigh-Hour Working Day Question Will Mainly Constitute the Demands of Miners of the Birmingham
 DSrct-Wll See the Operators Monday

The miners scale convention completed the greater part of its work yesterday afternoon and adjourned at 2:sO o'clock The report of tho scale committee, with few amendments and changes, was adopt ed by the convention. This report con- tains tho demands which will be made by the committed appointed to meet the Operators Association Monday.
 The miners refuse absolutely to make public their decisions with respect to the scale they will ask to be made effective, but 1t was learned that the principal clause for which they will fight will be a clause calling for pay days every two weeks The next important clause for which they will struggle will be the plac- ing of all men who work on the per diem basis on eight hour a day system. A small increase in pay will be demanded, but the committee will probably not in- sist upon the concession if the other two can be secured.
 A number of delegates stated yester- day that the principal matter upon which they had received instructions from their local unions was that pay days be made every two weeks; and during the conven- tion this question has been uppermost in all debate, and outside discussion The committee, which will present the scale to the operators Nll insist with all it's power upon the two clauses respecting semi-monthly paydays and eight-hour work for per diem men.
 Two delegates, while discussing the two questions with group of convention members yesterday, summed up the se- suit of the entire convention in the fol- lowing words:
 We want our money every two weeks

'"The production or limestone ana doio- mite in this district is an average of sev en-eighths of ton to each ton of pig iron produced.
 ''The above showing is as phenomenal as everything in the South, especially when we consider the years of depression that separted 1890 and 1900, and the fact that what is today is practically a re- construction of the conditions ten years ago, and that the men who made all this possible have passed from the scene and their places taken if not by more colossal figures, by those who ,have survived from the financial battle that swept out the past.
 Alabama has before her the possibili- ties of supplying steel rails to South America and Africa, the two continents that are to play the most important role in expanding the white mans burden" in this century. If the steel production Is forced to its utmost possibility, there is no reason why Alabama rails should not be as we'll known the world over as the Damascus blade was known to the war riors of old. When is the time to do this? Never better than under the present finan- cial conditions. Start the steel industry on a scale of sufficient magnitude and the rest will take care of itself South America, and Africa next, are the natural markets of America (Asia belongs to Eu- rope), and the earlier the commercial bat tie is begun the sooner 1t will be won. People may talk about -an "open-door" policy in Asia as much as they please, but 1t is well known that a little boy is mot going to borrow cherries from his neighbours tree, although he may leave the gate open, or perhaps have no fence at all if he knows his neighbours bulldog is walking around the place or the old man is up the tree with a gun. And If America is going to have any considerable Asiatic trade, the Pacific coast wants 1t and deserves it.
 America needs an isthmian canal. a logical canal; one that can be built and will be built; not favorite route to aid any clique or combine, but one that will be the shortest and best. Alabama and Mississippi will be the greatest benefici- aries'

 'The question of eight hours is not local issue, but a national question: and should be given recognition in this dis trict. We must have 1t for the per diem mem,
 On these two questions the whole prop osition rests. The fight will be made upon them, though the miners will ask other concessions. The question of in- crease of kages will not enter materially into the struggle with the operators. The demand for such will probably be used only as a wedge to force the operators to agree to the other concessions.
 President Flynn last night refused to divulge the result of the discussion of the scale committee report, He said he would positively allow no one to secure a copy of the demands until after Monday morning, at which time they would be of the delegations had been instructed with force regarding the questions.

 An attempt was made to have the sal ary of the president and other officers of the union increased, but it was decided that this convention could not act author itatively upon the question and it was carried over until the meeting of the union in December, when it will be taken up along with the question of admitting some of the members of the Tennessee union No 19 to this union.
