After Mammon,

"This is material age in which we are living" said a successful lawyer, "and men do not think of much besides worldly gain. Here in Birmingham the desire for wealth has increased very fast within the past two or three years. This community has the money craze now as it never had 1t before.
 "The men I meet today haven't time to swap a joke. All humor and vivacity and all serious thought outside of business have been crowded from the mind. AS for poetry and spirituality. my friends, or many of them, at least, have forgotten what these words mean. Men of intellect are becoming perfectly listless except II, the matter of money. They are alert enough when trade is on hand. The out look for culture Is indeed gloomy. Some people will say I am a pessimist. Well, perhaps I am. But the most indifferent observer of social conditions must admit that what say is substantially true"

Fancy Cigars.

There is quite a large trade in 25c cigars in this city, but the sale of the 50c article is exceedingly limited" said a well-known tobacco merchant
 Very few business or professional men in this rart of the country indulge in cigars that retail for more than 1Oc. And when It comes to the 15c straight smok- CTS, there are probably not 100 of~them in prominent circles. The men who smoke 25c cigars regularly are the hgh-class mill mechanics I have number of cus- toners who come from Ensley. They work at the steel mill and make big wages, and they pay 25c for every cigar they light.
 .'The old notion that professional gam blers are extravagant smokers is errone- ous. While some men of this class will buy Soc Havanas occasionally in order to celebrate a nice winning. they keep them selves down to pc cigars as an very-day proposition"

1t Would Pay.

Ut would be matter of much interest and good deal of profit to Birmingham indirectly if the Commercial Club would assemble complete exhibit of all the re- sources of this district and maintain it permanently" said a member of the club. Such an enterprise would cost some thing. of course. but the money would be well expended.
 "A large room would have to be se- cured and a custodian, under the direc- tion of Secretary Gibson, would have to be employed But out of the thousands who would see the exhibit during tho course of year good percentage would be of the class likely to locate an indus trial plant here.
 People outside of Alabama know the Birmingham district orly as an iron and steel section. In the Commercial Club exhibi- there should oe a good display of coal, coke, ore, pig iron and steel, to be sure, but in addition to the products tN, mines. furnaces and steel works there should be specimens from the fifty or more varied industries that are located hereabouts-ruachin nuts and bolts, blows. fertilizers, cement, meal, cotton goods knit goods. fire brick. mattresses, mineral raint, woodwork and so on.'

found who will overrule the demurrer the case will come up on it's merits, and a battle of the first magnitude, full of campaign material, will be waged all the summer long.
 The rebate feature of the bill will bring the railroads into the case, and this will open up perhaps it's most in- teresting chapter. Practically 1t Is charged that the railroads and the Big Six" firms have been and are partners-that the concessions granted to the Big Six are denied to other shippers.
 At present the packers are refusing to buy cattle in Chicago, hoping in that way to discourage heavy ship ments, and to be able in that way to show that the supply is deficient. When the six packers are out of the market there is no market, so com pletely do they control the meat sup ply of the country. Beef on hoof is from 25 cents to 40 cents a hundred pounds lower, and it will go still lower if the present attitude of con sumers towards the packers is steadily maintained.

ROCkEFELLER'S MILLIONS.

New York Special to Memphis Commer-
 cial Appeal.
 John D. Rockefeller's gift of s1,OOOOOO to the cause of education in the South is but tho beginning; there Is more, may be another million in sight from the same source If other wealthy men do their share and show disposition to lay aside all sectional feeling and contribute as literally for education in the Southern States as they have for the same pur- pose in the North.
 This gift which means so much to the South and to the nation, in fact Is pecu- liar in many ways. The money, $l,0o0,- GOO, was given outright, and, as 1t was put today, mot as an endowment of which the income only is to be spent but as fund to be used outright as the general education board sees fit."
 This is to be the beginning of higher, better and more general education in the South. and Mir Rockefeller said at the time the gift was made. 'I hope this Is to become the channel through which many large benefactions will go to hasten the obliteration of illiteracy." It was told by those interested just how the money was given. It was given to the general education funds as it sees fit in connection with the executive committee of the Southern educational conference, which meets Friday at Athens, Ga. Pri- marily John D. Rockefeller Jr., Is res- ponsible for his fathers great interest in the cause of education in the South, but Booker T. Washington is In the wide scope of the movement. It was said to- day that Washington and John D. Rocke- feller had met two or three times either in MT. Rockefeller's office or in the office of the general educational board at 116 Nassau street. It was said. too. that Washington had a great deal of influence In suggesting that the gift be used equal ly for both white and black education in the South. The negroes will get their share, but it Is said that none realize more keenly than the president of Tuske- gee the need for a general movement for more general education in the South, out side of his own race.

Bill Against the Meat Trust.

The Knox-Bethea bill will be filed, 1t Is said, tomorrow, and then we will know what this prediction document contains. No one has much faith in a suit begun under Republican au- spices just before new House of Rep resentatives is to be chosen. It is widely regarded as a piece of cam paign thunder.
 The packers themselves do not seem to be alarmed. They know the courts and the administration well, and they have often done business with Re. publican campaign committees. At present they are content, it appears, with the stirring up of the stock rais. CTS from Iowa to Texas, whom they expect to fight a good share of the coming battle. The trust does not want its methods investigated by Con. gress, and it cares little about the Bethea bin.
 When the bill is filed an injunction will be asked for, and this will lead to a demurrer, wh..- will be speedily heard. If a federal judge can be

Venerable Minister Struck By a Car
 and Dragged Several Feet.

New Orleans, May 5.-Dr. B. M. Palm CT, the noted Presbyterian divine, consa- cred at the head of the Southern church, met with a terrible accident this after noon. Although S4 years old he was very active and went about everywhere. He was crossing St. Charles avenue near his home and saw trolley car coming along. As two ladies were at the corner he sup posed the car would stop, so he contin- ued on his way. The ladies made no move and the car kept on at full speed. strik- ing the venerable minister and dragging him some distance. He was carried to his home unconscious and 1t was found that one leg was broken, one foot man. gled and his head gashed.
 He recovered consciousness later and the physicians at his bedside found him In much better condition tonight than an- ticipated, although on account of his ad- vanced age there Is still much danger. The home of the aged divine has been be- sieged by all classes and conditions Of people. and telegrams have been pouring in from everywhere.

HIS IS A CRISIS.
,effield Standard.

From the Sheffield Standard.
 The people of Alabama might as well make up their minds to fight the politi' clans and wirs-pullers to a finish. It Is already settled. so far as the State exec utive committee is concerned, that there shall be no primary election ordered by that bcdy The committee has already shown that 1t regards itself the master rather than the instrument of the Demo- cratic party, and its insolence and ty- ranny are known to all men familiar with Alabama politics. The time has come, however when the people will not longer submit to the arrogant dictation of a handful of politicians. The sentiment is so overwhelmingly in favor of a primary that any action on the part of the com mittee to prevent that method of selec- tion of candidates will be ignored and the primary will be held without regard to what the committee may decree. The people are ripe for revolt. and the sooner 1t comes the better.

Brilliant Music.

Miss Gockel will doubtless draw a large and appreciative audience Thursday night, when she will appear in her first piano recital since her return from Ber- lin" said a music lover last night. "I know that musical attractions have not drawn well as a rule for some time past, but many persons will turn out on this occasion to do honor to brilliant young woman who has worked hard to improve her talents
 Miss Gockel has a choice programme of great variety and every one who has the leats taste for musical art should at- tend her entertainment. The music will certainly not be over the heads of the average audience"

The Beer Trade.

This hot weather has given a decided impetus to the beer trade" said man connected with one of the local brew cries. 'The greater part of April was too cool for our business but we are well sat isfied with weather conditions now.
 "I think we are going to have an ex- tremely hot summer, and therefore, a big demand for our output The consumption of malt liquors In family circles is in- creasing every year.

 .I will venture to say that man like MT.

Arid Irritation Bill,

At least two months ago the Senate passed bill providing for the reclama- tion by irrigation of about O0,O00,000 acres of arid, and therefore worth less. lands in Arizona, California, Col orado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Ne braska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Da- kota, Utah, Washington and Wyo- ming. There are about 00,000,000 acres of public lands in these States, mostly arid, and it is proposed to rem der one-sixth of the vast territory valuable through irrigation.
 The bill does not ask for a penny from the public funds. The sales of public lands in the States named arc hereafter, If the bill become law, to go to a trust fund for irrigation pur- poses. The cost of any work is to be assessed against the lands benefited that is to say, public lands under IT, rigation will be advanced to the cost of the work that did it. No buyer can buy any water to sell again. He can buy for individual use only.
 The sales of public lands in the States named is now about $3 ,000, ,0OO a year, and this sum would of course be diverted from the treasury. but in return sixteen States and territories would be vastly benefited and en- riched. and this in return would add

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
7rom the New York Press

From the New York Press.
 More men are made good citizens from the kitchen than from the pulpit.
 The thread-like line between happiness and unhappiness Is the shadowy tracing of imagination.
 It's curious the way a woman dresses in winter to catch cold and in summer to get bitten by mosquitoes.
 Most women's Idea of an "earnest pur- pose" in life is to be able to make other women hate her for having more than they have.
 A man would rather expect a stone and get the bread, but a woman consid- CTS it beneath her dignity to expect any thing less than cake. no matter what she knows she is going to get

to the national income in various ways. The redemption of our arid lands in accordance with the terms of the pend Ing bill ought not to encounter opposi. ton anywhere. It is a great work that relates to the public lands, and Is therefore very properly national undertaking. There is nothing in the bill before the House that looks to irrigation of private lands, and there Is no jobbery in the bill in other re- spects. The bill should become law, and the task of rendering our arid lands fruitful should be begun.

General Order No. 100.

General Order No. 100 was prepared and issued April 24, 1863, and it stands today a part of the military law of the country. It contains 10000 words, and is a much longer article than the average reader can be induced to read. It contains many propositions, but the worst one of the entire lot is this:
 "A commander is permitted to direct his troops to give no quarter in great strains, when his own salvation makes 1t impossible to incumber himself with prisoners"
 And this is not much better: Quarter having been given to an en- emy by American troops, under misap- prehension of his true character, he may, nevertheless. be ordered to suffer death if. within three days of the bat tie, 1t be discovered that he belongs to 8 corps which gives no quarter
 It is needless to say that the mili- tary regulations of other nations con tain no such provisions, and that in- ternational law recognizes no such bar barities. These provisions authorize a commander to raise the black flag whenever he feels himself in critical position, and in war he has such a feeling all the time.
 This brutal order is a part of the civil war, and, strangely enough, it has been kept alive, to come into force in the Philippines It is General Smiths sole defense, and it is per haps all he needs. Under it he could at discretion give no quarter, or if he had taken any prisoners he could butcher them. His kill-andburn order was in effect an order to give no quar- ter, and it was fully justified under General Order No. 100, for the exist ence of which the American people alone are responsible. They permit ted this piece of barbarian to stand uncancelled, and General Smith in or dering the destruction of all life in Samar down to the age of ten years and all property was but carrying out standing orders. His acquittal is an ticipated on this account.
 But when he is acquitted as Major Waller was before him, where will the American people stand in the eyes of the world? The war department and the administration will then stand convicted, and the people disgraced. Other Presidents ignored it, but 1t is plain the present administration must have done worse than that, or else it has been blindly ignorant of what has been going on in the Philippines. This administration ordered the republica- tion of the infamous order, "the de- partment," says a Manila dispatch, taking that means of calling atten- tion to the fact that the order is still in force."
 General Smith should be acquitted. The republication of the order re- vived it, and all he did under 1t comes against the war department. Here. after the trial will be before the peo- pie, and the man or men who author ized the republication of General Or der No. 100 will be the ones on trial, and they will remain on trial until the barbarous acts committed in Sa- mar are fully requited.
