Great Conccrtmeister.

My estimate of Leopold Kramer of the Chicago orchestra, who plays a violin solo whenever he comes to Birmingham, is that he Is the greatest concertmeister in the country" remarked MT. Oliver Chalifoux. who studied violin for years in the Paris conservatory.
 Tt is one thing to be an artist and another thing to lead the strings in a great symphony band. Kramer is an ex- cellent artist and I feel sure that The odore Thomas appreciation of him as concertmeister is the same as mine. The passionate eagerness with which he watches his conductor, the nervous ener- gy with which he follows him, and the promptness and certainty of his attack cannot be excelled. This man has insight which enables him to read the conduc- tors mind and heart When he played here last season under Guckenberger, a musician could discover those character istics at once. Mir Guckenberger was perfect stranger to AIr Kramer hni vet Kramer followed him easily, just as if it had been an every day matter. Any fairly good concertmester can get along with any fairly good conductor, even at first rehearsal. But it takes genius to read the man with the baton as Kramer doeS'

is simply a bill to reimburse sub subscribers to the Republican cam paign funds. The Chicago Inter- Ocean, an intense Republican paper, expresses the situation when it says; 'The efforts to foster by legislation a useful working mercantile marine should begin over again, and begin right. Above all. the motive of such legislation should not be the reim- bursement of special interests for campaign contributions. It's sole and single motive and aim should be to encourage the building of economical cargo carriers, and thus restore our mercantile flag to the seas in the only way in which it's presence there can be of general benefit to the Amer ican people"

Writinq Novels.

Miss Tuttlett, who writes novels over the nom de guerre of Maxwell Gray. has been confiding to an interviewer her opin- ion that the world would not lose much if no more novels were written for fifty years" said a member of literary club.
 Miss Tuttlett also thinks that novel writing has become a trade and that writ CTS ought not to live by literature. Some thing has soured the author of The Si- lence of Dean Maitland Her dctum that authors ought not to live by literature seems particularly foolish when one reads the obituary notices of Samuel Rawson Gardiner.
 Early In his life Gardiner mapped out a great work, which by patient toll, self sacrifice and the exercise of extraordi- nary talent enriched by learning. he was enabled to nearly finish before his death. Yet he was a poor man and was obliged to live by literature, and he was often compelled to lay aside his chosen task in order to send copy to the printers which would bring in money to feed his family The catalogue of the British Museum contains nearly fifty entries un- der his name, and scarcely one of them refers to a work, however humble. com paratively speaking, which is not as worthy to be called literature as Max well Gray's version of the theme of The Scarlet Letter. ;"

A RUNNING ARGUMENT.

Washington Dispatch to the N. Y. World.
 Senator Frye galloped up and down the center aisle of the Senate chamber today while he was closing the debate on the ship subsidy bill. He had papers and books distributed on all four of the end desks He started to speak from the middle of the aisle. When he was talk ing at Senator Stewards desk, which Is the one nearest the outer end of the aisle he would want to refer to some thing on Senator Cullom's desk, which is the one on the end of the first row. He would run down and gradually work his way back from desk to desk. When Sem ator Burrows. who was in the chair, an- nounced at 3 o'clock that it was time to vote. Senator Frye stopped in the middle of a sentence, mopped his forehead and said: Well. I'm glad of that

 AND ELSEWHERE
prouressive City.

pr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago, who delivered a telling discourse Friday night and luminous lecture on Les Miserables9 last night, both at Temple Emanuel, left at 10:10 o'clock for Nleks- burg. This distinguished orator and man of travel spent some time here about year ago and several days again last week. No keener observer than Dr. Jones comes thls way and this being the case. what he thinks of Birmingham will be of interest.
 Tn all my travels through the South have never seen a city anything like Bir- minghar1," said Dr. Jones. Ut is so much more city-like than other Southern cities and that is what impressss me. It Is just such city as ono might find in Ohio, llli- noie or Wisconsin. It is so free from provineialism that 1t does not seem to be a Southern city. The spirit of progress Is here, the broad-minded way Of seeing things Is here and the cultured atnos- phere is here"
 Dr. Jones went on to say that Blrmlng- ham was fortunate in having pr. J. H. Phillips for it's superintendent of public schools "When prominent educators of the country met in Chicago recently l found that pr. Phillips was esteemed as one of the foremost of them said he. College men and public school men knew him as an educator and leader Of superior attachments and force. He was placed on important committees and he easily held his own with the best Of I IY n,

BERLIN BoERSE.
Stagnation During Week Grew More
 Pronounced Toward the End.

Berlin, March 23.-During the past week the stagnation on the boerse grew more pronounced: no department showed any life and transactions continued to shrink in volume. Domestic loans have held their own fairly well and some investors have been buying in al lthe departments Industrials were weak The conviction gains force that the quotations on in dustrials have been driven too high: hence iron shares dropped several points Coal shares also weakened upon the an nouncement that many operatives had been discharged in Westphalia, thirty-five mines having dismissed 1870 men. Wage reductions have also been announced for April. The coal syndicate has just de- cided to raise the restriction on the out put to 24 per cent. This restriction has hitherto been 20 per cent. The Ameri- can purchases of iron attract increased attention. Two cargoes of S2oO tons of spegelizen will leave soon for Balti- more.
 Bank stocks failed to respond to the announcement of the Russian and other loans. The Disconto Gesellschaft has an- nounced an increase of capital of 20 000,- GOO marks which is offered to stockhold- CTS at 160. The market regards this price as too high and the quotation has conse- quently dropped. The increase of 20000, = 900 marks in the capital of the Hamburg American Steam Packet Company will be offered to stockholders at 104
 Quotations on the shares of ocean trans portation companies fell further upon the increase in the capital of the Hamburg American Steam Packet Company and the report that the dividend of the North German Lloyd Company would not real ize expectations.

Coal Is kjnu.

Cotton once was king, and then 1t was ascertained that hay was king, and in some years wheat has been king, but all this was in this country alone. A British civil officer, Dr. Neve Foster, has gathered together the statistics of the world for the year 1900, and he reaches the conclu- .sion that coal is king.
 pr. Foster secured actual official returnss from all countries except Ar gentina, Turkey, China and Persia, and he used the latest estimates to be found in books for these four coun- tries. He ascertained, when he had gotten all his figures together, that the production of coal in the year 1900 was 767,6s8,2O4 tons, worth about 150O million dollars. No other crop or product can equal this, and so soa1;is crowned king.
 In 1900 the British empires output of coal was 240 million tons; the Un- ltsd States raised 245 million tons; 1ermany, 150 million tons. and Aus a-Hungary 40 million tons. Great Britain, United States and Germany brought to the surface 643 million tons, out of worlds total of 767 mil lion tons., The rest are really in the scattering" list. The United States and Great Britain mine considerably more than one-half of the worlds SUD- ply of coal.
 Thus far in the worlds history manufacturing and general prosperity have been closely connected with fuel supplies, and if this Is to con- tinue to be the case the positions of .-e United States, Great Britain and Germany are we'll assured. They are now the workshops of htweorld, and they will continue to be so as long as coal is the worlds fuel.

Railway Building.

The year 1901 showed a larger new rail- way mileage than any year since ls9O but 1902 according to the Railway Age, will produce a still better record. No attempt has been made, says the Age, to give the grand total mileage of all the new lines, but what makes it apparent that there will be a larger mileage built this year than last Is the fact that a careful com pilation based upon official reports shows that at the present time not less than 1884 miles of new road are already under contract or actually under construction, while there are in addition S79O miles on which it seems probable that work will be undertaken this spring or summer These figures do not include several hum dred miles of old grade which was com pleted previous to 1901.

THE LoRsrER's LAST DITCH.

From the Boston Herald.
 The lands and the waters are overrun with the wanton destroyers of choice game. The buffalo has been almost eX- terminated. So have some species of deer, and many varieties of game birds former ly abundant. The canned lobster industry has made these delicious crustaceans both scarce and puny What do they who are making money bX the destruction care whether for the next generation Holsters become as costly as terrapin? Let us care fully guard Buzzard's Bay from the com mercial destroyers, in the fond hope that good fishes will continue resorting to it for propagation, and that the sportsmen of the future may know the joy of blue fishing with hook and line in home wa ters, and our children may know the de- light to the palate of a broiled fresh blue- fish,
