ANACONDA.

At the last joint social session of
Divisions Nos. 1 and 2, A. o. H, held
at Hibernian hall, speechmaking, songs
and jig and reel dancing were the chief
amusements of the evening, which was
one of the most enjoyable ever spent
by the members of the A. o. H. in this
city. Con McHugh spoke on the re-
vival of the Irish language, Thomas
Murphy on Irish music, and James
White on the benefit to be derived from
social sessions. Brothers Mahoney,
Murphy, Lenahan, White Casey and
Dooley sang songs in Irish and Eng
fish. Brothers Marion and Murphy
rendered some choice selections on the
violin. Brothers Walton, Cannon and
Fitzgerald danced some old Irish jigs
and reels. Refreshments were served by
Division No. 2.
For the third time in a month and
the fourth time in seven-months death
has invaded the family of Manus Kane
again. James Kane, years and 8
months old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Kane,
died at the family home on West Park
avenue of diphtheria. Only two weeks
ago the little boys sister, Miss Adele
Kane. was buried while two weeks be-
fore that another sister died. Seven
months ago Mr.. and Mrs. Kane lost a
son.
The terrible aff1iction that has fallen
upon this family has caused the smy-
pathy of the entire community to go
out to them. Mr.. and Mrs. Kane are
well known and highly respected in the
city where they have lived for num-
Der of years.

Love for the Old Name.

The Montgomery Advertiser Ex presses the hope that "the old and popular Louisville and Nashville" will not in the new merger lose it's name, Identity or management. The Adver- tiser does not claim infallibility for it, but it says the people of Alabama have a wonderful affection for the railroad and it's officials.
 To what extent the Coast Line and the Louisville and Nashville system will be merged, is not known to the public at large. The headquarters of the one is at Wilmington, N. C., and of the other at Louisville, Ky. Either place would lack centrality and con- venience if the two systems are to be merged in the fullest sense of the word. In the event of a full and con- plete union of the two lines Birming- ham would, both on account of it's tonnage and location, be apt to become the southern operating headquarters of the joint concern.
 But the best impression is that while the Louisville and Nashville will be controlled by the Atlantic Coast Line company of Connecticut, yet the two companies will be operated ostensibly at least very much as they have been heretofore, and that the old and pop ular Louisville and Nashville" will continue to bear it's old name, and that it's identity and management will not be destroyed by the change ir ownership.

MascaonI Furore,

'The appearance in New York of the popular Italian composer. Mascagui, with his famous orchestra and opera troupe, on Wednesday next, will be the most exciting event in musical and amusement circles of the season." said well-informed music lover.
 'Mascagni is as magnetic and master ful a director as he is a successful com poser. There can be no doubt about his making hit in New York He will not bring his company to Birmingham until the second week in January, but as far off as that date is Manager Douglass tells me that he has had requests to re- serve many seats The prices in Bir- mingham will be the same as they are at the Metropolitan opera house in New York-$2 to s5.
 "Birmingham will be the only southern city outside of Tennessee that will have the pleasure of hearing the Mascagui company Nashville and Memphis are strong musical and dramatic centers and Mascagui will visit each of those cities. Excursion trains will be run from Mont gomery and Atlanta to Birmingham on January for the benefit of music lov- ers."

a crop of 1O,6Oo.000 bales. and the re- port just issued may therefore mean crop of 1O.2O0,0o0 bales. more or less. The popular guess at present is 1O.500.oo0 bales. although there are many who prefer to guess the crop a million bales less.
 Much depends upon the coming of a killing frost. especially in Texas, and speculative operations turn largely on that question. There were brought into sight in the first thirty-three days of this cotton year 1.OSO.742 bales, as compared with 556.047 bales in the first thirty-tLree days of last year. When this movement will be checked and turn about is a question, as is the coming of killing frosts.
 There is only one sure thing in the and that is consumption. All anticipate a worlds consumption that will call for 100000 bales of Ameri- can cotton. If so. the price cannot go down even if the crop outturn be as large as that of last year.

THE PASSING OF THE L. 6 N.

From the Anniston Star.
 The reported sale of the Louisville and Nashville railroad system to the Atlantic Coast Line has been confirmed in New York. The purchase price is givgn at $50 000, 900 and it is announced that the entire system will be operated by the Coast line. By its purchase, the Atlantic Coast Line absorbs one of the most pros porous and for many years one of the greatest railroad systems in the south, and there are thousands of southerners who will view with sorrow the passing of the "Ellen N"
 Speculation will now be general as to whether the old familiar name will be abolished. It is a name that time has made dear. People may speak of the heartlessness of corporations, but there have been few charges of this kind against the Louisville and Nashville. It has been a friend to the people on many occasions. and those who live along its lines will hope that the new owners of the good old road will ont change the old policy.
 The passing of the Louisville and Nash vile is an event of much interest throughout the entire south and it may be that the interests of the people will not suffer by the consolidation. The peo- pie as a rule however, view with alarm the numerous merging of great interests, and they dislike to see a good road, such as the Louisville and Nashville has al- ways been, gobbled up by another

Condition of Cotton Crop,

The cotton situation and prices were not essentially changed by the government report, which placed the condition of the crop at 58.3, as con- pared with 61.4 at the like date of last season, and ten-year average of 68.9. The condition of the crop in Ala bama is reported by the government at 52, or two points below the condi- tion of the crop at the corresponding date of last year. No crop is reported so badly off as that of Alabama, ex- cept the crop of Texas. which is put at AT, as against 53 last year.
 The general public on either side of the sea refused to accept the bu- reau's figures, for prices remained fractionally stationary. The report is especially discredited by foreign spin ners, and a repetition of last years conflict over the size of the crop and therefore of prices is plainly in sight.
 The government says the crop is 5S.3 per cent of an ideal or 100 per cent crop, but as no one knows what an ideal crop is, so no one knows what 5S.3 per cent means. We know that the 61.4 per cent of last year meant

Republicans Here and There.

Judge Birdsall, who has become the nominee of the republicans in the Henderson or Dubuque district of Iowa, distinctly repudiates MT. Hen derson's tariff notions. He stands pat, not with Mark Hanna, but with the Iowa idea. In his letter of acceptance, recently published, he says:
 The republican party of Iowa does not propose to abate one jot or title of it's faith in the essential principles or policies of protection. It does believe that the question of rates is practical one to be determined and governed by the condi- tions of time and production. and that nothing sacred attaches to a mere table of rates. which should be readjusted to meet the change in conditions as they arise in the industrial progress of the country The republican party of Iowa believes in the greatest good to the great est number. and will not permit the pol ley of protection to become shield for the greed and avarice of man.
 This is shocking and really awful to the Hannaites, who, for reasons of their own, consider the Dingley tariff sacred. It goes to show, too, that Dingleyism and Hendersonfsm finds no supporters in Iowa, for Judge Birdsall dare not make a congressional race on such a platform. He accepts on the other hand the Iowa idea in all it's length and breadth, and he will try to stem the tide, and also the inroads of Uncle Horace Boies as wicked and irreverent tariff tinker. He him. self desires to be known as tariff tinker. and the more tinkering is done the better, it is plain, he would be suited.
 It has thus come about that Dingley- ism has few or no friends in states like Iowa, and that it's sole strong hold is in the party as it exists in states like Alabama. Leaders Cooke and Bowron repudiate "the Iowa idea" and swallow the Dingley bait, hook. line and sinker. Thus do times and voters change about. What is re- pudiated in Iowa is accepted in Ala bama-by republicans, and the philos- ophy of the difference is not at all difficult. The Iowa republicans hold the federal offices to a great extent, while the Alabama republicans desire to hold them and to please Mark Hanna.

Poison Oak and Wroinia Creeper

The error that crept into an article in The Age-Herald concerning the leaves of poison oak has been widely copied and widely criticised. Every body seemed to know that the leaves of the former grow in threes, instead of lives as do those of the Virginia creeper. Says the Washington Star in this connection:
 Presumably the fact was well known to the writer of the Age-Herald who evil dently suffered temporarily from that dread affiction of some busy writers, 'heterophemy," by which somewhat for midable term physicians style the ten- dency to reverse things from their prop er order in statement, to miscall familiar names and to commit unconsciously oth- CT blunders which the mind in a normal state instantly repudiates. No other ex- planation is acceptable, especially in the case of such a usually careful authority as the Age-Herald. The Star has only the apology of the necessarily nasty pre- paration of matter for the press to offer for continuing the blunder. it being taken for granted that in so familiar a detail there could be no mistake of statement Perhaps the error has served a good pur- pose in more emphatically calling atten- tion both to the danger of ivy poisoning and to the easy manner of distinguish Ing 1t from generally similar plants
 The Star prints four letters touch ing the subject, and one of them at least is valuable, because it supplies remedy for poison-oak poisoning. The remedy offered is a solution of sugar of lead in alcohol applied as a wash. The poison being an oil, water solu- tions have little effect.
 Perhaps the best remedy consists in keeping away from all vines that grow in clusters of threes. This is a simple and safe rule when wandering in the woods or along country roads, and an observance of it will free any one from all danger of poison on ac- count of the autumnal glories of our wonderful plant growths.

PROGRESSIVE woMANHooD.

From the Onlcago Chronicle.
 The man who wins Miss Nora Blatch for wife will secure prize. Miss Blatch is the granddaughter of elizabeth Cady Stanton, and is in the engineering course of Cornell university She has done all ready considerable work in blacksmith ing, and is equal to any emergency in that line. She dons the leather apron and works regularly at one of the big forges She understands the mysteries of iron ore, Bessemer steel and blast furnaces
 Miss Blatch is not a mere novice She has gained prize for expert work in her chosen line and is bent on taking the lead again. She is artistic, too, in designing, and add tastes and delicate skill to her other accomplishments.
 Should Miss Blatch ever be so gracious as to give her hand to an ardent wooer he will have the satisfaction of knowing he has a strong right arm in the day of need-a wife who can forge ahead in the world and make a good living sould he prove incompetent.
 Llizabe,4. cady Stanton must feel that her highest hopes have been realized in her granddaughter. It is true Mrs. stan ton has not gained the suffrage for wo- men, which has been her life work, but she has proved by her granddaughter, that it is merely a matter of time when the hand that wields the bellows grace fully will soon have strength enough to grasp the ballot successfully, even in spite of mans continued opposition.

Canadians Alarmed.

"Canadians are much alarmed over the condition of the coal market, and are eager to hear of a compromise of the strike in this country" said MT. Bond of Manchester, England. who passed through Birmingham yesterday.
 T visited a number of the provinces short time ago and found that the lack of fuel has become a very serious prob lem there. The climate Is so much more severe there than in this country that their condition is even worse than that of the people in the United States
 still, I noticed statements in several Canadian papers to the effect that sub stitutes for coal will be provided in suf- ficient quantities to keep people from suf- fering. The peat bogs are being devel- oped extensively and there is great ac- tivity in the Canadian oil regions. was told that the peat found In many parts of the provinces is really a very satisfactory fuel, and that the coal strike has been instrumental in bringing the Canadians to a full realization of the value of peat as feul.
 This country is going through labor troubles similar to those suffered in Eng land years ago. Fortunately the English have solved their difficulties and are at peace. The coal strike years ago in Yorkshire and Lancashire continued about as long as the present coal strike in this country, and was finally settled by Lord Rosebery in a few minutes. We have reached a point where we are able

THE NORTH POLE--WHAT
 WILL BE FOUND THERE

can pierce the mysterious region sur- rounding the north pole under su.h con. dtions
 That the pole will surely be reached within the present generation is my firm conviction. This achievement will be ae- complished during the six-months day. and not in the six-months night. Some writers have contended that the pole can never be reached in the day because of the shortness of it's duration. Now. my experience goes to show the reverse of this proposition. No arctic explorer has done so much work by moonlight as my. self. The first winter I spent in the far north l travelled 200 miles to Conger in the night
 When the moon rides the heavens tha arctic night Is brilliant with light. Ex- cellent progress can be made by the ex- plorer over routes with which he is fo. miliar; but in new territory he is utter- iy at sea, for the reason that he is un- able to select the proper route over the ice. Slow progress can of course be made during the long winter night. if one must do 1t; but I prefer to do my advance work in the daylight, when I can look far and wide over the vast stretches of territory.
 While the cold is intense in the ex- treme north, 1t is not so severe as it is in Russian Siberia. Therefore. it is not the low temperature that keeps us from the pole. It is rather the impenetrable fields of ice, so rough and so jagged as to bar progress even under the most favorable auspices. There are some times lanes in the ice along which the ex- plorer may travel in safety and expedi- tiously. If they are absent he might just as well give up the game.
 The man who reaches the pole will be successful not because of his superior equipment but because the arctic condi- tions are favorable. When he reaches it do not believe he will find an open polar sea, but simply pack ice. such as is found throughout the northern re- gions.

WHERE PISTOL ToTERs WILL GO,

From the Bessemer Herald-Journat.
 The pistol-toter is to have a rocky road in Birmingham, if the law and order of Judge Feagin are carried out to the let ter. This Is right for a man who carries a concealed weapon has murder in his heart and will take human life if the op- portunity offers. It has come to the pass that a man cannot go off as deputy to organize lodges but what he must carry a pistol concealed about his person. In Gadsden, an ex-lawmaker, going on peaceful errand of organizing men into lodges for the benefit of labor, must needs carry deadly weapon on his errand- to do what? Kill a man if the opportu- nity offers. Pistol-toters should have to serve term in the state penitentiary
