AS A STRANGER SEES
 SUNDAY IN BIRMINGHAM
BY w. H. EENEY.

To an outside lookeron Sunday such as yesterday in Birmingham is whole lot different from Sunday in the Northern United States.
 At that there is plenty of similarity.
 That is in the eyes of one fresh from the colder cline.
 Leaving out scenes on the streets a rowing newswriter looked on three pie lures made yesterday by people.
 church, a boarding house of the cheaper grade, a hotel. In these three interiors there were evidences that Sun day in the farther South was, is con- sociability.
 Take the church.
 Seems as though the priest himself a native of another country, is imbued with the warmth of the cline. In him there is the natural eloquence of his birth land. He brings out more-more than he would if on his arrival in America he had been assigned to parish in Penn sylvania instead of convenient to the Southern Gulf
 Church going is much the same the country over in sizable cities.
 In the boarding house.
 Here was a Sabbath for your thinkers on social problems.
 The girl from the kitchen does not wield the brazen bell before daylight as on other morns. Next door the monster cot ton mills speed is off. dozen of the workers there sleep on-so do other board CTS. After daylight breakfast is ready at any old time
 Notice them coming in now
 half dozen young men. some middle aged men, the latter's wives all workers in the toilery next door, cover quickly seats at one long table, They leave room for three.
 At the other table are few more work CTS of the looms, Among them Is a boy of 14 a fresh faced, big-eyed lad, with table politeness of a little prince He Is now used to long mill hours but not bit are his young spirits subdued. Some others are laborers and machinists from the furnaces and railroads, also one or two nondescripts who are there in the mill boardinghouse mainly because s pays a weeks board and lodging.
 The food is placed on the table much as it is in boarding house where bank clerks and well paid bookkeepers live. At the table last mentioned maybe there is less etiquette but goodnature is there. At the second long table are two or three of those fellows who would crack a joke on the way to Siberia. Jokes and hot biscuits of the kind they call cream-of- tartar in the North go not badly on Sun day morning with fried ham and coffee

BEAUTIFUL INTERIORS
 IN BIRMINGHAM HOMES
BY FAY MILES.

Within the last three years Birmingham has witnessed the erection of more pri- vate residences than at any time during her short period of existence. Of course, during the boom many houses were built like mushrooms, only few of them stately and substantial with all con veniences and elegance of finish.
 Several houses in the latter class are still among the most beautiful homes of the oity, notably the Pearsons, which for beauty and convenience few have ex- celled. The Lanes. which was aban- doned by the family and converted into club because of its massive propor- tions, has since been the scene of many delightful affairs given by the Phoenix Club.
 The majority of the houses built were for temporary quarters and little time or thought was given to their erection. For the last three or four years, however, this has changed, and the private resi- dences are now equal in architectural fin- ish. convenience and splendor to those of any Southern city.
 Birmingham women are artistic, pro- gressive. energetic. As for the Birming- ham men, they are fond of their homes and they have home pride. They are also progressive, energetic and money making. The combination is perfect and the outcome is that Birmingham has hundreds of homes of which any city would be proud. As an illustration of these principles let us take a peep into the interior of some of Birminghams homes and see what we find there. There Is the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Roland on Highland avenue. The exterior is planned after that of the White House stately and grand, with it's massive white columns and its marble front porch. The | interior is plain and old-fashioned. The floors are covered with velvet, Brussels and velour carpets The stairway is of hardwood and ivory white enamel. In every nook and corner there are palms and plants of all kinds. of which Mrs. Roland is passionately fond
 On the same block with the Bolands there are four other homes which are handsome, splendidly finished and beauti. fully furnished. They are owned and oc- cupied by Dr. Gillespie, MT. w. H. Has singer, MT. 4. W. Haskell and MT. A. T. London.
 On the corner of Arlington and High land avenues, the house of Mr. Walker Percy is situated. The exterior of this beautiful house has been admired by hundreds of people who pass that way The house is of brown stone with trim mings of corn color But this sketch is to give the reader an idea Of the interior.
 Upon entering the front door, the visi- tor is confronted by a magnificent hall finished in ivory white. The floors are all hard wood with a number of pretty

TARIFF REDUCTION NEEDED

Washington, February 23.-(Special.)- "The expansion of our trade commerce is the great problem of the day" said Rep resentative Underwood of Alabama in dis cussing a recent speech he had made in the House on the subject. we must in the near future find markets for our sur plus products abroad or expect disaster at home. The commercial intercourse of the nations of the world is rapidly ap- preaching the character of the business relations that exists between individuals in trade.
 Merchants or manufacturers do not make the same price to all customers at all times and under all conditions. The purchaser In large quantities who pays cash or whose credit is good, undoubt- edly receives greater advantages In order ito induce the trade than one whose credit is doubtful and purchases in small quan- titles.
 ''The commercial intercourse of na- tions is rapidly occupying a similar po- sition, and the nations of Europe through trade agreements are giving the greatest advantages to those nations from whom the greatest advantages are received Dis- eliminating trade agreements are made with those nations from whom great ben efits are received, and against those na- tions whose laws are injurious to the de- velopment of trade

 Il believe that the time has come uba, we should enact on the statute hooks Q law authorizing the President to make trade contracts, under treaties with for eign nations in reference to our foreign commerce. These contracts to be submit ted for the approval, amendment or re- Jection to the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States. Tn this way they would only require a ma jority vote to secure their appfoyal or rejection, and coming before the House of Representatives, the real commercial sentiment of the country would have a iair opportunity to express it's wishes in them. The time has come when questions anecting the industrial prosperity of this country, should as far as practicable. no longer be considered matters of partisan politics to be kicked about like foot ball between the contending political lines. but II we expect to keep in the advance rank In the battle for the trade of the world both parties must understand existing conditions and fight unitedly our foreign adversarfes in the great coming battle for trade supremacy of the world just as we nave united in the past. to fight the bat ties in our foreign wars. Such a policy will bring business prosperity at home neglect it and disaster is sure to come"

been gone through with, and a summons
