value of a 50-cent Filipino dollar. Of
course we could continue to pay our

that matter, but after n time they
would come to regard the Filipino dol
lar as of as much intrinsic value as an
American half dollar. Then too, there

 IN COMIC OPERA
GIRL WHO WAS TRIED AND DIs- CHARGED FOR THE MURDER OF WALTER BROOKS IN NEW YORK SIGNS CONTRACT.

New York, April 4,-(Speeial) )-Theatri- cal circles are considerably stirred over the announcement in the New York Tele- graph that Florence Burns next ap- pearanoe will be on the comic opera stage.
 Of the many offers which her lawyer says has come to her since she WAS dis missed from custody by Justice Mayer, she has selected that of Frank Daniels Miss Simplicity" Company. According to present arrangements she will join that organization at New Haven next Monday and finish the season.
 The brilliant blond Brooklyn girl will have what is known as front row part" In plain English, she will have a conspicuous place in the chorus in the immediate glare of the footlights. where her pink and white beauty may be seen without loss of value from the front of the house, It will not be a speaking part.
 Her contract will require her to wear only becoming costumes. look handsome and preserve the imperturable silence with which she stood unabashed before the curious gaze of the people who thronged the court during the inquiry into the Walter Brooks murder.
 The queen of a police court tragedy be- comes a chorus girl In comic opera.
 The engagement was quietly made week ago. Then as now Florence Burns was hidden in some place which her counsel, MT. Backus, refuses to disclose. To avoid possible Interference by the po- lice or the states attorney, the girl will continue in hiding until the evening of her appearance. She Is to step out of hiding into the full glare of the footlights.
 For the same reason she will not ap- pear in New York within the Jurisdiction of the courts of this state. Beginning at New Haven her engagement will carry her over the Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island circuit. The season ends about the middle of May. Out of difference to the law, both MT. Daniels and MT. La Shelle's managers are chary of talking about the engage ment.
 Louis White, speaking for MT. Daniels. said last night:
 Florence Burns has agreed to join the Miss Simplicity company at New Haven next Monday. This was week ago.
 ''I havn't seen her since-nobody has seen her-but l have no reason to believe that she has changed her mind."
 Del Bonta, for MT La Shelle, admitted that the engagement had been made. The amount of Florence Burns salary is not definitely stated. It is said to be sev- eral hundred dollars a week.

WHALE WRECKS SHIP.

 She Sank Rapidly.

St. Thomas, D. w. l., April 1.-The nine men from the whaler Kathleen of New Bedford, Mass, who reached the Island of Dominica, B. W. l., on March 28, in an open boat, are now at Antigua, B. W. I. Further particulars of the loss of the Kathleen are as fol- lows:
 When in latitude 13.7 north, longl- tude Al west, point about HOO miles eastward of Barbadoes, three boats from the Kathleen were pursuing a shoal of whales on the 17th of March. When at some distance from the ship she noticed that she was signalling them to her immediate assistance. The three boats returned toward the Kathleen. It was learned that large whale had struck the ship ten feet below the water line, starting timbers and that she was filling rapidly. The captain of the whaler and those of her crew who were still on board hurriedly gathered, with the provisions they could, and abandoned the sinking ship in the fourth boat at D. m., twenty minutes after the whale had struck her. The crew of the whaler and the provisions in the fourth boat were dis tributed as evenly as possible between the four boats and the captain ordered the boats to steer west by north-half- north. The four boats kept in touch with each other until o'clock that evening. They became separated dur ing the night, and the next morning the boat which reached Dominica had completely lost sight of the Kathleen's other three boats.
 Three boats of the whaler Kathleen reached Pernambuco, Brazil, about March 16.

"REMINISCENCES OF
 SOUTH IN OLD DAYS
General Johnston Delivers an Inter- esting Lecture at Howard
 College.

One of the best if not the best lecture heard in Birmingham for many a day, was that delivered by General George D. Johnston at Howard College last night entitled, "Reminiscences of the Old South"
 "Reminiscences of the Old South deals with that period of Southern history that Is ever interesting, and being told by one who saw and was part of it. adds un- usual interest to the theme. The lecture tells of agricultural, financial, political and religious conditions existing during the ante-bellum days. It treats of the old Souths art and music and literature It pays lofty tribute to Southern man. hood and womanhood and pathetically describes the faithfulness and devotion of the old time "black nanny" Many humorous as well as pathetic scenes which came within the lecturers personal knowledge are told.
 General Johnston is well known as an orator. There is a deep melody in his voice that is very pleasing The au- dence last night was large and thorough. ly appreciative.
 It was expected that MT. Rufus N Rhodes would be present to introduce General Johnston, but he was unable tc attend on account of illness. Prof F M Roof, president of Howard College presented General Johnston, calling at. tention to the fact in his introductory remarks that Howard College furnished thirty-seven officers to the Confederate army during the Civil war.

President Thompson of Repub- Ilo says Rumor Is With

TRUST HASlTS HANDS FULL
Steel Plant May Be Erected at Thomas After New Blast Furnace Gets In Full Objectionable
 Iron Market.

MT. A. W. Thompson of Chicago, presi- dent of the Republic Iron and Steel Com pany, after spending tive days In this dis- triet, left last night. He was busy from sunrise until sunset Thursday and yes- terday inspecting the properties of the company, He was especially interested in the new furnace at Thomas.
 II was we'll satisfied with the condition In which found things' sail MT. Themp- son. '"rhe policy of the Republic Is to keep It's plants in geod shape It Is easy te de this by giving ordinary attention te the properties Every plant that Is ep erated by the Republic Is in prime con- ditien
 Our steel mill at Youngstown, O., Is behaving beautifully, It turns out 1oOo tons a day, We expect te build a steel mill at Thomas some day, but definite plans will not be made for such a plant until the new blast furnace is in full op eration. If tho furnace comes up to ex- peotations, and I am sure it will, then we may get te work on the steel project"
 Asked what he thought of the rumors that were being circulated from time to time to the effect that the United States Steel Corporation would get control of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, the Sioss-S Sheffield, the Repub- lie and other companies operating in Ala bama, MT. Thompson said they were without any foundation.
 Tn the first place, the Steel Corpora ton has It's hands full" said MT. Thomp- son. "It Is not after any additional properties. In the next place, the Repub- lie Is not for sale. All the rumors about the companies in this district merging into one may be set down as pure fabri- cations"
 How about the talk of advancing the price of iron?" was asked.
 "The output of the furnaces in this dis trict is about sold for the year, hence there would be no excuse or reason for marking up quotations. This is a good year for iron workers. Present prices have been satisfactory and 1t would have been unwise for us to have advanced them"
 Speaking of the future, MT. Thompson said he thought prosperity would con- tinue for some time to come. The business of the country was in a healthy state, and there is good prospect for 1903 being fully as good year as this.

FOXES KILLING SHEEP.
Sheep Ralsers In East Tennessee Have Other Enemies Than Dogs.

From the Knoxville Sentinel
 eThe sheep raisers in Cooke county have other enemies than the dog and before we ever revive the sheep raising business we must have long list of legislative enaetments," said Thomas Brown a farmer from Cooke county, who was in the city Thursday afternoon, '"The farmers of our county are having great difficulty protecting their lambs from the ravages of foxes that are so numerous at the present in all of our Tennssee counties. We are distressed and will have to rise in a body and ask for the proteo- ton that was given farmers many years ago. l have lost hundreds of dollars on account of no protection in the past few years The farmers are now confronted with a more serious and difficult prob lem than was ever caused by the dogs since the foxes have begun killing the lambs. The season of the year when the young wool bearers begin to appear be- gan March 1 and since that date I have had several lambs devoured by the de strvctive varmints, It, indeed. seems worse than the dog pest. We now have projection from the ravages of the can Ines and the next thing we will have to demand will be that bounty Is placed on the fox scalp. I can remember, and ft has not been so long ago. since a bounty was paid on the scalp of every fox killed. It proved g success, and the result was that the war of extermina- tions gave relief to the mountain sections that were infested by the destructive beasts At the present rate of the in crease of foxes and the decrease of the valuable sheep industry it will not be long until the sheep must disappear from the farm. look upon the dogs as being safer to the sheep-raiser than the foxes that can escape and repeat their devast- eting acts more frequently. The legisla-
 ton that was made against the dogs
 has, in degree, been of great benefit
 to the farmer. but we cannot have taxa
 tion made effectual against the elusive
 fox, so we must ask for a bounty to be
 paid and thus have that family of tho
 forest exterminated.
