Straws tell which way the wind blows lie simply became inoculated by these influences. l think it is ;l fair inference from Captain Judson's report that he was aware of this movement, of the fact that certain enterprsng gentlemen and corporations in the south are anxious to develop the superb water power of the Cocsa Tor the reasons I have heretofore in these remarks endeavored to detail because we find him in that report emI ploying the following significant Ian guage, exactly along that line:
 Another consideration is as follows The CoJsa River, with a low-water dis charge variously estimated at from 3,O0o to 1000 cuhic feet per second. and with fall averaging approximately three feet per mile for over 100 miles. would afford for development of extensive water pow CTS the finest opportunity in all the Southern States were it not regarded as a navigabIe stream for approximately 100 miles above Wetumpka. Low dams for purposes of navigation are not eco- nomical for development of power.'
 I dismiss the subject by saying it Erieves mo to believe that Captain Jud- son gave the. word of promise to our ears, but broke 1t to our hopes.
 Now in conclusion, I desire to have read as a part of my remarks. the fol- lowing extract of the Coosa River lm- provement Convention, above referred to- in order to demonstrate the public ne cessity and convenience that may be sub served by the continued improvements of the Coosa River, and as particularly val uable and important to the nine counties in Alabama lying immediately upon this stream and cut off from all water com munication with the Alabama River. to wit: Fillmore, Coosa, Shelby.

About a week later. and things gone

with them, one under each arm. for the

WHY WOMEN LIKE FICTION.


Reared In Romantic Atmosphere and
Read for Love Of Story.
Do women find in fiction the roman
tic element they crave, and perhaps
do not find in sufficient quantity in
life? How otherwise are We to &C.
count for their devotion to novels,
without which the story-writer would
fare but i'll upon the slim diet Of an
untitled purse, and the publisher share
the disaster? If Mr.. Carnegie should
be able to keep out Of libraries, as he
suggested. all fiction under three years
old, 1t might safely be said that the
women would be against him-which
means that the thing could not be
done. Women like new fiction; they
want the book that Is lust out" II it
Is historical novel, they feel that they
are gathering information. heaven
bless them!
II 1t IL romance, pure and SIM
pie. they forget over its pages the do
nestle trials Of the morning or the af-
ternoon. 1t does them NO more harm
than has been done for countless gen.
eratiOns. For women are nourished
upon fiction from the days of their
birth. Our girls are reared In an at
mosphere rarefied and cleared from all
impurities. The world Is shown them
through rosetinctured glass. Here,
dearest. is city, wonderful city Of
happy homes. Of beautiful art. of heav-
emily aspiration. And these-these are
men. noble, high-minded beings who
will always guide and teach and pro-
tect you. These other are women.
lovelier than everything else" And SO
on.
Fiction without discrimination is fed
to the girl who looks with heaven-giv-
en- trust into the eyes Of her we'll
meaning teachers. And when she be-
comes q woman, the habit has sent
it's roots into her soul, and be she hap
by or pensive, she reads fiction.
With men 1t Is different. They do
not expect from life what women do.
When they read novels 1t Is to forget
the rigors Of business. TO enter DELHI
erately a region which they know does
not exist But women can seldom
quite believe that 1t does not exist. To
them life Is romance. If 1t does not
turn out well, so much the worse for
life, and they turn to books, where the
happy ending Is fairly sure to be count
ell upon. In women's love for fiction
there ia something more than is super

TWO GREAT CITIES.

Sydney to Outstrip Melbourne and Be.
come Australia's Metropolis.
Melbourne has always been the larg-
est city Of Australia. In its phenome.
nal growth it can be compared only
with Chicago and San Francisco. In
1885 it had a name and fourteen in
habitants; in 1896 t contained 451 900
ten consecutive years the gold mines
from sixty to one hundred miles to
the north and northwest produced over
$5O.OOO.OOO OF gold every year. The
many thousands Of men required to
mine this treasure bought their money
there. The city faced to the north
where the mines were; its back door
was on the sea.
But the gold mines Of Victoria have
lost their old Importance. They are
still productive but their yield Is far
inferior to that Of the desert mines OF
western Australia. Melbourne is slow
ly losing the largest resource that
made her great, and the wool and
wheat trade Is not likely to fully COM
pensate her for the declining mining
interests. The city was said in 1891
to have 48O.S96 population. including
the suburbs. Five year later only ASH.
600 persons were counted in the city
and its environs.
The decline in population Is proba-
bly, only temporary. for Victoria is a
very rich little state. Many miners
have been drawn away by more fatter-
ing prospects elsewhere, but they will
gradually be replaced by permanent
settlers.
The great city, however, seems des-
tined soon to lose its pre-eminence.
Sydney is steadily increasing in popu-
lation; by the last census it was only
1900 under Melbourne's figures. Sgd
ney is growing, while Melbourne is
scarcely holding her own. There are
a number Of reasons why Sydney will
probably forge ahead and permanently
maintain its lead among Australian
cities.-New York Sun.
