There are girls who call me friend
When I've lots of cash to spend.
There are girls with whom such times
like to joke;
Who are sweet as sweet can be
When Dame Fortune smiles on me
But there's only one who loves me when
I'm broke.
There are girls who treat me nice,
Fen when giving them advice,
Though my money may their petulancy
cloak:
For they snub me very pat
When my pocketbook Is fiat
And there's only one who loves me when
I'm brok0
So quaff this cup TO her
To whom never doth occur

be In soak;
But who still is fond and true
When I'm penitent and "blue"-
The little girl who loves me when I'm
broke.

WORK ON MANY
 NEW BUILDINGS Plans Being Drawn for Struc- ture of Boddie Corner TOO HOT FOR BRICKLAYERS And Progress On City Hall Is Inter. rupted-HiIlman Hotel, Almost
 Completed, Will Be Opened
 In September.
TOO HOT FOR BRICKLAYERS

Stone Bros. & Weston, the architects employed by Brown Bros. to prepare plans for the ten-story office building to be erected on the Boddie corner at First avenue and Twentieth street, are now busy working on the drawings.
 The plans will be completed within few days and then sent East for approval, after which the contract for the erection of the building will be let immediately. Contractor Stockmar is rapidly pushing the work on the new city hall building in Nineteenth street. The window frames on the second floor have been set in place. Mir stockmar stated yesterday that the work was delayed somewhat last week on account of the bricklayers being unable to work in the extreme hot weather, but yesterday morning a large number of additional men were secured. The first department headquarters, which will be located at the northeastern corner of the building will be finished up first. and it is hoped will be ready for occupany by October l, when the lease on the present headquarters expires.
 Hotel HllIman.
 The Hillman Hotel is nearing compile ton. All of the windows have been put in and the inside wood work Is about com pleted. The tiling in the lobby is now be- ing laid.
 C. H. Nabb, the proprietor, spends a good deal of time at the new building and says that the opening of the hotel will take place about September 15.
 Work is progressing nicely on the build ing being erected by Judge J. F. Stiles in Third avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. The structure will be four stories in height and the front will be of stone and plate glass; The building will be occupied by the Jesse French Plano and Organ Company. On one. of the up- per floors will be a music hall.
 Building Permits.
 Building permits to the amount of s18, 900 were issued by Chief of Fire Department J. T. Mullin yesterday. The largest of these was issued to B. B. Conner to erect a two story brick store at Third avenue and Eighteenth street, to cost $z0O0- Other permits were issued as follows:
 Evans Brothers, to erect two story frame dwelling in Twentieth street and Avenue c, to cost $6ooQ
 Evans Brothers, to erect three story frame dwelling in Twelfth avenue and Thirtieth street, to cost S1SO0
 J.. W. Harmon & Company, to erect a two story frame dwelling in Eleventh avenue between Twenty-first and Twenty second street, to cost S22o0.

As Chief Engineer of the Ten-
 nessee Company
A GREAT MINING ENGINEER
Charles E. Bowron, Assistant Chief Engineer, Likewise Tenders Ills Reslgnatlon-Mr. Ramsay Had
 Held Ills Place Six Years.

Chief Engineer Brskine Ramsey of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany, and his assistant, Charles D. Bow ron have resigned the service of that company, the resignation to take effect Immediately, or as early as they can be relieved of their duties.
 Mir. Ramsay said last night that he night continue in the service of the com peny, not later than September l.
 'I shall continue to reside in Birming ham," MT. Ramsay said.
 ''I couldn't leave soon If I wished to, seeing that all I've got Is this district, md I wouldn't leave if I could. I have lived in the district for fifteen years and 1t is my home. I confess to a warm per- sonal attachment to Birmingham and the district.''
 Further than this MT. Ramsay would not be quoted. He simply said he knew nothing as to who would be his success sof.
 Mir Ramsay is one of the most noted mining engineers in the United States, though he is still under forty Recently he declined proposition to become chief engineer of a Pennsylvania company which is the largest of It's kind in the world. and which carried with 1t a 'sala- ry running well into five figures.
 A Personal Friends Statement.
 Last night a personal friend of MT. Ramsay said:
 ''Mr. Ramsay has for the past six years been the chief engineer and assistant gen. eral manager of the Tennessee Company and has for fifteen years held prominent positions with the company.
 "Mr. Ramsay's resignation came in the nature of a surprise, for it was pretty generally known that recently he refused a position in Pennsylvania as chief engi- neer of one of the largest, if not the largest, companies of It's kind In the coun- try as large salary.
 "In this connection, as many of his friends will remember as a singular coin cidence, some years ago he was offered the position of general manager of the Whitney syndicate, working Nova Scotian mines, the company from which comes MT. Mccreery, who succeeds G. B. McCor- mack as general manager of the Tennes- see Coal and Iron Company"
 A Leading Engineers Tribute.
 A prominent engineer of this district speaking of MT. Ramsay's resignation, said:
 ''The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company will lose the brightest engineer south of Mason and Dixon's line, and per- haps the brightest of his age in the United States.
 His improvements in mining machinery from year to year were worth more to the company than three or four times the amount of his salary.
 "A large part of his income was derived from patents taken out on improved min ing machinery, and he is known and rec ognized as an authority all over the Union. If the new management of the company can secure a man to fill his place near his equal it will be matter of sur prise to every engineer in the district"

SUES J. C. BURCIN AND
 COMPANY FOR S3.OOO
E. ]. Allen & Go. Claim That Contract To Build a Railroad Was vio-
 lated by Defendants.

D. J. Allen and J. M. Wolf, who con- duct business under the firm name of E. J. Allen & Company, yesterday filed a suit in the Circuit Court against J. c. Burgin and J. T. Bowden for $3o00 dam- ages. The defendants are in business un- der the firm style of J. c. Burg1n & Com pany.
 The allegations upon which the suit is based are breach of contract. The plain tiffs assert in their bill that on June they entered into contract with the defend ants to do certain grading and work for railroad line in Tennessee. They fur ther allege that they went to much ex- pense and prepared to carry out their contract when they were stopped by the defendants.
 The suit further states that the plain tiffs sustained damages through expenses and loss of profits to the extent of $3ooo by means of the stoppage of their effort to carry out their contract.
