Hl oHlY DAILY HEwsPAPER IN ALABAMA
William Leroy Broiun.

Although Dr. Broun had reached a ripe age, yet his death came so sud denly while he stood at the head of the school he had fostered and pro- noted twenty years, that the loss of the State and the Institute is doubly felt. Since 1882, with the exception of single year, he had striven year in and year out to build up at Auburn a technical school that should be a blessing for all time to the young men of the State. That school and the alumni are his best monument. No better can be erected. How much he did for the State no one can say at least, no one at present can say. for no one can now measure the good that will flow from the Alabama Poly technic Institute. He rebuilt it's build 1ngs when fire had destroyed them, and he brought the entire work up to his high ideals. The loss Is a severe one, and the fame of the great organ izer and educator will last as long as Alabamas history lasts.

"PEAcE AND PLENTY"

From the Boston Globe.
 Somehow or other the presentation to Senator Mark Hanna in Cleveland of 8 beautiful life-size marble statue called Peace and Plenty evokes varied emo tions in the public mind.
 The statue itself, which represents the figure of a graceful maiden who holds in one arm the horn of plenty, and with the other lifts high over all heads the olive branch of peace. doesn't strike the average observer (outsioe of Cleveland, that is) as precisely typical of the states man who is credited with that astound- ing utterance, There are no such things in existence as trusts" Yet MT. Hanna is credited with being visibly affected by the presentation speech of Judge William R. Sanders; and doubtless even half a glimpse of the Roosevelt teeth. shown in welcoming smile. would bring him once again to the best confidence and distin- guished favor of Republican President.

 Valley, 5000 coal cars: Pittsburg and Lake Erie. 1000 box cars; Illinois Cen tral. 300 ventilated fruit cars; Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul, 800 wooden carriage cars and 100 ore cars.
 These orders show that as soon as the car-building companies can supply cars the prevailing famine will be lessened. It is reasonable to expect that material relief will be obtained before September.
 The situation should induce the Southern Car and Foundry Company to get it's new Ensley plant into op- eration at the earliest possible mo- ment, for the car-building shops of the country are oYertaxed, and they prom ise to remain in that condition two or three years longer. The trade of the country has outgrown not only the equipment of the railroads, but also the capacity of the car builders.

Prince Henry.

There will be no effort to induce Prince Henry to extend his travels to Birming- ham, said Mir. E. Lesser, president of the Turn Verein.
 The Prince will come as far South as Chattanooga and Birmingham would not be much out of his way. But there are several reasons why 1t would be waste of time to try to bring him here. In the first place his stay in the United States is limited and in the second place his schedule of travel is already fixed.
 If we were to have the Prince in Bir- mingham citizens would have to put their hands in their pockets. The Prince and his party could not be entertained for less than s10.0O0 and to raise ten thousand would be quite large under taking. The Commercial Club may possi- ply send Prince Henry an invitation but polite note of thanks would be all that would come of it. rl

DISCUSSES FRUIT STANDS.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Of late have seen and heard much In your valuable paper on the subject of fruit stands and merchants samples oc- cupying any portion of the sidewalks of the city of Birmingham. and in the dis cussion of said subject have been favora- bly, impressed. not only with the com- mon sense view of the subject, but the legal right that your paper has taken in reference to this matter.
 Has an individual or corporation the right in putting up building to project one foot on said streets?
 If you will refer back to the court re- cords of the county of Jefferson, Ala, about the time the Elyton Land Compa- ny proposed the erection of the Caldwell Hotel building, you might find some data that woulL enlighten you in the discus sion of this subject.
 In that suit A. O. Lane, ex-mayor, was the attorney and he would probably give you all the information that is required on the subject.
 receive my papers every day, and am perfectly satisfied here and expect to re- main until spring opens in old Jefferson.

Car and Car Builders.

The car famine Is partly due to an Increased tonnage and partly to the fact that the car equipment was all lowed to drop down during the years of depression. When years of pros perity came the railroads lacked cars. All railroads are now endeavoring to overcome their deficiencies in this re spect. The Southern Railway has or. dered 1900 cars and the Seaboard Air Line 800 cars from the Southern Car and Foundry Company, and these cars will be built in this district. The
 Railroad Gazette in its last number mentions these new orders: Lake
 Shore and Michigan Southern, 1000 box cars; Clarendon and Pittsford, 25
 flat cars; Wheeling and Lake Erie, 300 freight cars; Shawmut (Pa.) Coal Company, 100 coal cars; Toledo and Ohio Central, 1000 coal cars; Della ware, Lackawanna and Western, 200 box cars; Warren (Pa.) Refining Com pany. 25 tank cars; Algoma Central and Hudson Bay, 200 flat and 100 box cars; Belingtou, Beaver Creek, 500 coal cars; Norfolk and Western, 500 gondola cars; New York Central and Hudson River, 1000 box cars and 1000 coal cars; McCloud River, 60 flat cars;

Coal Minina in the South.

While Kentucky mines about 5,000,- 900 tons year, and Tennessee about 100000 tons, Alabama's yearly prod uct has risen to about 10,000,O00 tons. The growth of the product in either Kentucky or Tennessee is slow, aver aging about 100000 tons, whereas in Alabama the increase Is at the rate of nearly a million tons a year. The output in 1900 was S,237,Se tons, and last year it was about 9,211 BOA tons. It will readily go to 1O,ooo,oOO tons this year.
 The increase of last year in Jeffer- son County over the output of the pre- vious year was 4S4,000 tons; in Bibb, 124,500 tons; in Walker, 100000 tons; in Blount, 75,000 tons; in Marion, 73,- 900 tons; in Tuscaloosa and Etowah, 30000 tons each; in St. Clair, 15,000 tons, and in Winston and Cullman, about 5000 tons each.
 These increases are remarkable be- cause very little export coal is taken, and the bunkering of steamers at Mo bile and Pensacola does not consume a large amount. Shipments to New eDrleans, Pensacola and Mobile are in creasing, but they do not keep pace with production. Our coal is, in other words. largely consumed at home. It ] goes into coke, into locomotives, and steam users and domestic purposes take the remainder.
 When lne Warrior is opened all this 1 will be changed, for the gulf ports will then be filled with Alabama coal, and heavy export trade will then be not only possible but inevitable. We wit ness, in fact. but the dawning of great development, and the day is fast coming when yearly product of 10,- 100000 tons will seem small indeed.

About Hotels.

"The hotel business is profitable pro- vided the house has good location and a popular reputation" said an old hotel man.
 Birmingham should be a first-class hotel town, and I believe several pro- prietors are finding money in the busi- ness. but unless the location is just right no business is more unsatisfactory than that of keeping hotel.
 T understand that no less than five men of hotel or restaurant experience are after the Arlington. The rent is not high and the house Is well situated to catch transient trade. Nineteenth street is great thoroughfare and the crowds that pass that way will increase instead of diminish.
 ''The Arlington will be in new hands within the next week or ten days. In the meantime the bidders for a lease will have to wait with patience"

nes in Alabama Christian Advo-

E. w. Jones in Alabama Christian Advo-
 cate.
 In 1884 Thomas A. Walker. young man from Georgia, and destined to play an important role in l4e history of Alabama, hung out his sign as a practieing attor- ney at Elyton, then the courthouse of Jefferson county. The conditions were then very different from .he present.
 There was but one bank in the entire State, and it was located at Decatur. The planters of South Alabama were forced to go to Decatur to get money for the transaction of business. A planter in Dallas county on a November day mounted his horse and plunged into an almost unbroken wilderness toward Deca- tur. In his route he passed through Ely ton, taking the old Stouts turnpike, pass ing through Blount and what is now Cullman counties. Reaching Decatur he drew $10,0O0 from the bank and started on his return trip. The money was in pa- per, and the bills of different denomina- tions, had never been separated and hence were in sheets ten by twelve in- ches. He reached farmhouse ten miles north of Elyton on Stouts road and spent the night there with a man whose name need not be mentioned here. Next morn- ing he rose. breakfasted and rode on south He had gone about mile, when he discovered that he had lost the $10,- 900.
 Turning about, he rode rapidly back and meeting man, he put him through a thorough catechasing until he was firmly convinced that he man he had first drought had picked up his pocket book and money was innocent. He pushed on until he reached tho house where he had spent the night, hoping that he might find 1t under the head of the bed. But, no! the bed had been made and all denied any knowledge of it. There was nothing that could be done but to pro- ceed on his home journey. He was fully convinced that the family had the mon- ey, so he rode on to Elyton and entered the law office of T. A. Walker and made full statment of the whole matter to Young Walker. He told Walker that he would give him $3OOO to recover the full amount of money lost. After this agree ment he pursued his way to his home in Dallas county.

Birminqham's Arrests Record.

The valued Montgomery Advertiser thus booms portion of Alabama:
 New Bedford. Mass, must be a tougher town than Birmingham, judging from The Standards hint to prudent men to stay indoors at night, or hire guard when compelled to go out.
 If the number of arrests has any relation to crime, it must be confessed that the Advertiser Is correct in con sidering this tough town. For out of population numbering 10000, the arrests last year numbered 1O,0O9. One in four of us was locked up, and over $25,OO0 was collected from us in fines last year in the Inferior Court. | The Inferior Court Is more than self l supporting, and perhaps as much should be said for the police force.
 But Is such revenue desirable or just? From whom is it taken? In New York, which contains more ne- groes than Birmingham has people of all sorts, more immigrants and more criminals than any other American town, the arrests each year are but one in thirty-three. Here they are one in four.
 Will some student of criminology, or rather of municipal government, explain these differences?
 In the year 1900 there were 9626 arrests in this town; last year there were 10,009. This year we may cross the 11,000 line. Our course is up ward at any rate in this respect-that is to say. more and more of us are jugged each year. Atlanta, Ga., and Butte, Mont, have unenviable records, but neither outshines Birmingham in the matter of arrests, while the rest of the country is content with about a four per cent record. We seem to prefer 25 per cent record.
 Tn very truth, does not this subject | deserve careful investigation at the hands of competent men? If there is something rotten in Birmingham, let us know what it is. Let us get at the | inwardness of arrests that are at least eight-tenths unmatched in other towns. Let the arrests of a month be an alyzed by an expert.

ROBSON TO LECTURE.

From the Marion Standard.
 | Mrs. Albert Chase Miller who has of-
 ten been referred to as one of Captain
 Hobsons special lady friends, and who
 has been spending some time with rela-
 lives and friends in Marion called at the Standard office one evening last week.
 Mrs Miller resides in Springfield, O.. but | was born and raised in Marion and was educated at the Judson, and is a lady of rare culture. It was at Mrs. Millers home Captain Hobson was entertained when he visited Springfield some months ago. Speaking of Captain Hobson's can didacy for Congress, Mrs. Miller remark ed that she had just returned from visit to the young officers mother at Greens boro; that they discussed the report of his candidacy for Congress and his moth CT is opposed to his entering politics. T know" said Mrs Miller, that Captain Hobson has applied for a leave of ab- sence for year, and I am satisfied his purpose is to go on the lecture platform. But he has no idea of resigning from the navy. He has had some flattering offers and I am sure he could make $50,000." !" | Mrs. Miller referred to his address at 
 | Springfield which was so heartily approv- | ed and said should Captain Hobson take the platform his lectures would do as l much as the Spanish war towards set ting the prejudice between the two sec- tions No" continued Mrs Miller,
 Captain Hobson Is an honest patriot
 and were he to enter politics the good of his country would be his uppermost thought He would not stoop to the little
 mean and oftimes dishonest methods politicians some times stoop to to be elect ed to any office however high"
 Mrs. Miller is quite an intelligent lady and takes much interest in public af- fairs. In society circles in her northern home she is very popular but her fealty to the principles of her old southern friends are as true today as before she learned to lisp her rs

Chicago, January 24-State Pure Food Commissioner A. H. Jones, who has just returned from Washington, says he is confident of the passage of his bill to establish food bureau in the United States in the department of agriculture The provisions of the bill cover inspec- tion, the labelling and stamping of food stuffs; the analysis of samples by chem ists and the prosecution of violators.

Studying Gaelic.

'The revival of Gaelic is attracting the attention of scholars in the United States as well as in Ireland, and the study of this difficult but interesting language is becoming a fad in limited circle in Bir- mingham," said g prominent Hibernian last night.
 Gaelic and Philo-Celtic societies are very numerous in New York and Boston, and we will soon have an active Gaelic league in this city. Greek Is a hard lan- guage to master. but Gaelic is harder. Unless one has a turn for close applica- tion and philosophic mind it were no use to try this language, but If one has the in- tellectual force then the study of Gaelic ia delightful

 Mime. Marcella Sembrich's song recital, which was to have taken place at Carne- gie Hall tomorrow afternoon, has been postponed till February 8. On Tuesday Mime. Sembrich took a drive When she returned to her apartments at the hotel she tried to call her maid. when she found she could hardly speak. She summoned her carriage and drove to the office of Dr. Holbrook Curtis. An examination showed that a small artery in the vocal apparatus had been ruptured. Dr. Curtis asked Mme. Sembrich if she had sneezed after returning to her room and learned that she had done so. which explained the rupture. The doctor once treated Jean de Reszke for the same trouble There is nothing dangerous in the mishap. and Mime. Sembrich's voice will not be injured in any way by the accident

Eun Shampoo.

Better for shampoo purposes than any preparation that I know of is the hen egg" said a Nineteenth street barber yesterday.
 Egg has been used in the east for some years, but our southern trade does not take to 1t. I have recommended 1t to my customers, but they will not try it. They have an idea that the egg leaves the head in sticky condition. On the contrary nothing we use is cleaner, and nothing gives the hair so glossy an appearance. The yoke and the albumen mixed and rubbed on the head will cure the scalp of itching and will make the hair soft and silky. The egg application is more expen- sive than soaps and tonics, but when it is known to be the best thing for the head 1t should be in general use."
