COAL MARKET IS HURT
 BY OIL DISCOVERIES
Mr. Beden of Tennessee Company Makes Some Gloomy State mentS In Regard to Effect of inc Use of Oil as a
 Fuel on the Birmingham District

The effect of the oil discoveries in Texas and the distributing of the com modity in the Southwestern States is very marked on the coal market of the Birmingham district, according to the statements of the coal dealers and opera tors at this place.
 Mir. Belden, assistant to the chairman of the board of control of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, while discussing the situation yesterday, exhibited some gloomy communications from the agents of his company at Galveston, referring to the contracts they were seeking to secure In one of these letters the agents say they find 1t impossible to make contracts for coal for a period of time extending more than eight or ten months.
 The statement was made that the Atchison system was now arranging its locomotives so that oil could be used as a fuel The Southern Pacific is also said to be making attempts to begin such work. In the past the Tennessee Com pany has made many of it's largest con tracts with these companies, and the change Is being felt.
 Continuing his discussion of the i'll ef- feet of the oil discoveries on the coal market, MT. Belden said:
 Mir. Beiden's Statement.
 We learn that a company with large capital has recently been organized by parties in Mobile for bringing oil from Port Arthur to gulf and river ports. Sea going tugs and barges have been secured, which will be fitted up with pumps. and plants contracting for supply of this fuel will erect storage tanks, into which oil will be pumped direct from barges. Aside from gulf ports the company expects to reach river points like Selma, Montgom- cry and Demopolis.

"The fact that the oil does not admit of profitable refining necessarily restricts it to fuel use
 Trade of large volume controlled for years from this district at and through the port of Galveston cannot now be in- duced to renew contracts The railroads as well as industrial plants are having locomotives and furnaces adapted to use of oil as rapidly as possible. Tests have demonstrated that 3iA barrels of oil will do the work of one ton of the best coal, and at large plants the saving of labor is an important item. Bremen and coal passers will be forced to seek other em- ployment.
 'The fact that the use of oil for fuel purposes in the southern states is a new departure may deter many from mak- ing the change at once The necessity of oil producers to find a market for their product. if the supply continues as indi- cated by wells now operated, will soon tend to exclude coal from territory here tofore taking hundreds of thousands of tons"
 Many Complaints.
 For some time past many of the small CT companies have been complaining of the effect the Introduction ol oil as a fuel has been having on their sales, but it was only within the last few days that the larger companies have made any statements with reference to the ques- tion.
 The reduction of freight rates to point never reached in the history of the dis trict was the first step the companies have been able to make in their attempt to meet the oil concerns in the fight for the fuel sales. This fight will be kept up and every effort possible made to hinder the introduction of oil as fuel on a large scale.

Rumored That the Organization Will
 Have Strong Backing.

It is rumored that cement company is heinz formed with strong financial back ing and that some prominent Birmingham men are interested in the project. The proposed company will not have a slag ceS ment plant, but will probably be located at some point in the cotton belt, where a first class marble or silicious limestone can be found This formation is admir- ably adapted for the manufacture of ce- ment and already some territory is being prospected.

i blue-silk cummerband. MT. Hardy at i tracted all eyes by the kingly manner in which he wore a wonderful creation in pepper and salt"
 If there is no sex in journalism or lit ! erature and if it is proper to describe the clothes of women writers, surely it must be equally proper and quite as in- 1 teresting to describe the clothes of men writers. But we never read any elo- quent descriptions of the clothes worn by our well-known writers of the male sex Nobody takes any interest in their clothes. The interest that people take in men who write is in what they have written. The interest that people take in women writers is mainly in what they wear. And yet the women writers tell us that there is no sex in literature.
 l By all means let the women writers dress as attractively as they can' They are still women, and as such it IS their duty to make themselves attrac- tive. But until they are willing that the world should ignore what they wear they might refrain from insisting that they are not only men, but a new ana improved pattern of men. So long as the skirt is still mightier in their estl- nation than the pen, they should be content with their lot and cease from scolding at men because there is no such thing as sex in literature.
 I wonder what proportion of the wo- men writers make a living by their wok. I hope they all do, but l very much doubt it. Dr. Nichol asserts that there are not more than forty novel, witers in London who make an income sufficiently large to enable them to i've in what he calls a reasonable way Suppose that half of these forty are women. There are then only twenty female novelists in London who make a living that is something more than bare existence. Perhaps, journalism supports a few women, as 1t does many men; but the number of women jour nalists who can furnish themselves with board, lodging and clothes by their work must be very small Unless the majority of the women writers have other means of support than those af- forded by journalism and literature, It is to be feared that they are finding life a rather difficult business London Letter to the New York Times.

THE WOMEN WHO WRITE.
They Still Take an Interest in Their
 Gowns

They Still Take an interest III IHell
 Gowns
 The Woman Writers club held a meeting or dinner, or high-tea, or something of the kind--the other day at which speeches were made and papers read. No doubt the women employed themselves and no doubt they thought that they were fully justifying their claim that in literature there is, and should be, no distinction of sex. But it was noticeable that when the next mornings papers described the meet ing they, one and all, devoted more space to the description of the dresses worn by the women writers than to the speeches made by them.
 Of course, there is no reason why la dies dresses should not be described when they are pretty enough to merit description. The women of the Woman Writers club knew how to .dress, and any report of their meeting which failed to mention what sort of clothes Mad anne Sarah Grand wore and what was the color of some other eminent Wrl- ter's skirt would have been disap- pointment. But fancy a meeting or (say) the Author club or any other club consisting of literary men, the reports of which should deal exclusively with the clothes of those present. MT Mor- blue serge and a lovely pair of blue trousers. Mr. Sladen was fascinating in his low-cut Waistcoat and his dainty
