New York Proqressinu.

''An official building designed to exceed any existing similar structure both in height and In ground dimensions has been planned for the southeast corner of Broad and Beaver streets" said New York travelling man.
 At one time Chicago had the lead in skyscrapers. but the borough of Manhat- tan Is up to date now. New Workers. with all their snap and push, did not take kindly to towering buildings at first They had an idea that the skyscrapers would mar the appearance Of the city. But the high structures came along and got to be the fashion. and today we would feel lonely without them. .
 ''The new skyscraper which is to break the record is to cost ever s4.000,o00. The number of stories has not been aii- nounced by the company which will erect the building. All that 1t promises is a record-breaker In height"

Food Crops in Alabama.

Corn is worth about 65 cents in. Chicago. but there have been sales in some of the corn centers of the chief corn States at still higher figures. So devastating was last summers drouth in Kansas and Iowa, the two leading corn States of the country, that they have not enough corn to meet home consumption An Iowa weekly paper mentions the sale of one lot of corn at 72 cents bushel, where few years ago the cereal sold at 8 cents a bushel and was used as fuels because no other fuel was so economical.
 But great as the change is in Iowa and Kansas, yet there is no great amount of distress, simply because they are not one-crop States. Their farmers had short crops of corn, but large crops of wheat, oats, barley, flax, potatoes, butter, eggs, wool and the like. They do not place all on one hazard. They diversity their crops, and their condition today shows the wisdom of their policy. If they cannot buy corn to feed to their animals they have plenty of wheat on hand, and this is as good food for stock as it is for men.
 The advantages of diversification should be more widely appreciated in this State. where there are many all cotton farmers. Farmers who will plant corn, wheat and potatoes. as we'll as cotton, are the men that no freaks of weather can upset OF seriously dis turb. This country as a whole is not one-crop country, and Alabama should not be one crop State. It is all right to grow a million bales of cotton year, provided we grow at the same time enough corn, wheat and meats to supply the people of the State. But this is what we do not do. This Is where we are deficient. This is why our farmers are not so pros porous as Iowa or Kansas farmers. They have better cash crop, but they permit the people of Alabama to send all their surplus money to Kansas and Iowa for supplies that should be grown at home.

Anti-canal Bill at Washington.

The new combine, composed of the Panama junk owners and the trans continental railroads, will make no fight in the Housa or at least none with any hope of success in it, but they will stake all upon a control of the Senate. The Senate has always been their stronghold, and they will fight for more delay in that body. They want another year of delay in order that the beautiful and enticing Pan- anna plan may be more fully investi- gated. They are very solicitous that money may not be wasted. and their admiration for canal on the Panama route is unbounded.

THE SEA.

By Barry Cornwall. The sea! the sea! the open sea! 'f'1 The blue. the fresh, the ever freei Without a mark, without a bound, It runneth the earth's wide regions round. It plays with the clouds, it mocks the
 skies. A Or like a cradled creature lies. I'm on the sea! I'm on the seal am where would ever be, With the blue above and the blue below. And silence wheresoe'er I go. If a storm should come and awake the
 deep
 What matter? I shall ride and sleep. love O, how love to ride On the fierce, foaming, bursting tide, When every mad wave drowns the moon Or whistles aloft his tempest tune, And tells how goeth the world below. And why the souwest blasts do blowi I never vas on the dull tame shore W But loved the great sea more and more. And backward flew to her billowy breast. Like bird that seeketh its mothers
 nest;
 And mother she was and is, to nc. For I was born on the open seal ne waves were white and red the morn In the noisy hour when I was born: And the whale it whistled. the porpoiss
 rolled,
 And the dolphins barred their backs of
 gold;
 And never was heard such an outcry wild As welcomed to life the ocean-chiid! I've lived since then. in calm and strife. Full fifty summers a sailors life, f With wealth to spend and power to
 range.
 But never have sought nor sighed for
 change; And Death, whenever he comes to me. Shail come on the wild, unbounded ssai

From the Boston Herald
 The remark of Congressman Eddy of Minnesota that there are not a dozen men in Congress who could command in private employment the 5000 salaries they receive from the government looks like rather gratuitous sort of a. slur on the capacity of his fellow members, as well as on their several constituent cies. Quite likely the Minnesota mem Der will be asked to rise to a personal explanation when Congress reassembies.

New Orleans. January 2.-The big deal which has been on foot by the Pearson Syndicate of Philadelphia to secure con- trol of the New Orleans City Railroad Company was practically closed today. H. H. Pearson. Jr., gave out the state- ment that out of the 750Oo shares of com mon stock. the syndicate had secured 5o.oOO and would enter into the lease by January l5. The fact which brought the matter to head is considered to be the dissolution of the Louisville pool which held B.0S3 shares of stock and would not sell. With the breaking of the pool

Public Building and the Future.

 Tt often happens that young and grow ing cities do not take large enough view of their future needs. am certain that Birmingham will be agitating for more room for it's city officials in less than hr- teen years.
 "When the Union passenger station was built about ten years ago the railroad people thought they had something that would serve their purpose for fifty years to come, but every one can see that more room is needed now. A new station will have to be erected within the next three or four years"

THE ROOSEVELT NOMENCLATURE
From the Boston Herald.

 It is interesting to get what appears to be an authoritative explanation of the odd names in the Roosevelt family. They come from the mothers side. Before her marriage she was a Miss Carow, not Carew. The name is an old French Hu- guenot one, originally spelled Quereau, but was changed to Carow by Mrs. Roose- velts grandfather, Isaac Carow, who ex- perienced much trouble with men in bus iness who never seemed able to spell Quereau properly. The name of Quentin. of the boys belongs on the Carow side, and was also French Huguenot name originally spelled Quantine. The same explanation applies to the name of Ker- init doubtless

LATEST IN BURNS CASE
Further Action Against the Girl Is
Reported Unlikely Now.
NEW EVIDENCE NECESSARY.
stated That While Indictment Could
be Secured. District Attorney
Lacks Enough Proof to Go
Before Petit Jury.

New York, March 25.-The Mail and
Express publishes the following:
From all that can be learned in the
district attorneys Office it is unlikely
that any further action can be taken
against Florence Burns unless some
new evidence is discovered.
T'he statement that she is to be call
ed as witness at the inquest into the
death Of Walter s. Brooks and there
be subjected to severe cross eXami-
nation is altogether misleading and is
not based on law or fact.
The facts are, briefly, that Assistant,
District Attorney Schurman did no,
present to Justice Mayer all the evil
dence he had against the young wom-
an for the reason apparently that JUS
tice Mayer had cut him down to the
single issue of his identification Of
Miss Burns as the young woman who
was with Brooks at the Glen Island
hotel on the night he was shot. All
other evidence, while Of great impor
lance II the young woman had been
properly identified, amounted to moth
ing with the main point in doubt.
Can't Compel Her to Testify.
Further than that there is no process
Of law which can be invoked to com
pei Miss Burns to 60 on the stand dur
ing the inquest and testify. Mr.. Back
us, her counsel, has promised to pro-
duce her whenever the district attor-
ney calls upon him to do SO, but this
promise does not mean that he will
produce her for the purpose OF being
q witness in the coroner's court.
Even should Mr.. Backus permit her
to appear at the inquest it would make
no difference in her status. As one who
has been under arrest on suspicion OF
having caused the young mans death
the law gives her the right to refuse to
answer any and all questions that may
be put to her. as even if guilty, she is
not compelled to convict herself.
Neither can her father or mother be
compelled to testify against her.
AS the matter stands the district at
torney, while having enough material
in hand to secure the indictment OF
Miss Burns, still has not enough evil
dence against her upon which to 60 be-
fore a petit jury, so that from all that
is known now Miss Burns is free for
all time, so far as the death Of Brooks
il concerned.
