The next morning Lady Napier was

so courageous and greedy a role. The
lack of nuts was supplied by the gold
and silver coins which he took from
the purse and scattered literally
among his kith and kin.

satin apron, and doubtless played the
part of monkey who had seen the
world.

A REMARKABLE VALUE AT SALE

terest in the metropolis it's rather de-
pressing.
II John w. Gates has secured con-
troll of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, he will have to be for sale
all this week. There is no reason to
doubt his position. II looks as If he
had set out to bull the stock. and got
so much that the only way out for
him was to go ahead and buy the con-
troll. Apparently, also, he does not
want the road. He was offering it
around the street on Friday and Sat
urday. If he finds a ready purchaser
at price high enough to pay him and
his crowd good profit on the deal, all
will be well. But he undoubtedly Is
carrying his stock now on the margin
and could easily be squeezed. II that
should happen, there will be good
deal of humor and pathos in Wall
street. But whatever the outcome
may be, the significance from the
view is that it shows that If you bid
up the price of a stock nowadays, the
insider will sell you the whole road.
Some day some fellow will come along
and go heavily short of one of these
railroads. He probably will find that
the insiders will buy the whole thing.
In other words, the tide has not turned
of itself and nobody seems to be able
to hurry ii.
Money promises to be easier. The
crop outlook, though not up to the
average of the last two or three years,
is not nearly so bad as was expected.
Business continues to be good. A
broker who made fortune during the
last ten years, sold his seat recently,
sold short a great variety of stock on
a wide margin bought a Yacht and
sailed away. He said he was not go
ing to look at market prices for three
years. If he does not come ashore
anywhere during that time, except at
places where the beat of the ticker is
never heard, he says he will have paid
for his trip, his yacht and doubled his
fortune. Duane.

IL you force your gas through a

the gas will only burn above it, maxi

not been advanced since Devery's re-
tirement and it is doubtful whether it
will ever reach such a degree of per-
lection under any other man as 1t
would have under him. 1t consists sim
ply of putting at the head of every
precinct a man who shall directly rep
resent police headquarters. Ostensi-
bly, this officer is wardman with the
rank of patrolman only and no official
privileges beyond those of any ordi-
nary "copper" who pounds the side
walks. In reality he is the arbitel Of
his precinct. The captain takes orders
from him and enters upon no course
of action without his advice and sane
ton. If the question is a delicate one
the wardman takes it higher up for
adjudication. He it is who conducts
the delicate negotiations with gamblers
and keepers of disorderly houses who
wish to open up new places or continue
to do business undisturbed in the old.
Such an one was Eddie" Glennon,
now in Sing Sing for corrupt prac-
tees. Such a one is Herman, the de-
tectfye of the West Forty seventh
Street Station who has been Identified
as one of the men who put the MUIR
dered McAuliffe (witness against Glen
nom into the cab from which he was
taken in dying condition. Such
one would have been in command OF
every precinct in the city, fat or lean,
had Devery lasted long enough to car
nv his plan through. All "tithes" would
have gone direct to police headquarters
without danger of anything being
"held out" Absolutely power would
have centered in the chief. The whole
machine would have been running with
well-oiled regularity. This would nave
been "single-headed police authority
with a vengeance, but the head would
have been responsible to nobody. Thus
did Devery lay his plans; through the
heritage of his system is his power
and influence still felt in the depart
ment.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

Notwithstanding the strike Of the Ten coal miners which was called off day be- fore yesterday, the output of i Nl this month in the Birmingham district will compare well with the make of Septem- Der.
 The Tennessee company had to bank only five of it's furnaces on account Of fuel shortage, and these furnaces, which were idle for only a few days will be in operation again early next week. One of the Alice furnaces is undergoing re- pairs, but the five at Ensley, the five at Bessemer and one of the Alice furnaces, eleven in all, will be running iron at their full capacity. The Tennessee's Oxmoor furnace, which is being rehabilitated. will be ready for blast about the middle or November.
 The Williamson furnace in this city which has been overhauled and put in first-class condition by it's new owners, IS now ready for the torch.
 The Republics three furnaces at Thomas are working up to their full ca pacity.
 The Lacey-Buek companys model fur mace at Trussville is running 140 tons of iron every day, and MT. Buck said last night that by the first of November 1t would begin running 15O tons a day The increased capacity will be due to the completion of the company.s new coke ovens which will give the furnace d full and uninterrupted feed of fuel.
 The Sloss- -Sheffield's furnaces were never working better than at present No. at North Birmingham has just gone out of blast for repairs, but it will not be idle for more than ten days or two weeks.
 The two Woodward furnaces are work ing to sheir full capacity, turning out iron at the rate of 10000 tons a month.
 Vanderbilt furnace is keeping up it's | fine record.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company's three furnaces are mak- ing about 400 tons a day. The one at Gadsden, which has a capacity now of 140 tons. will have a capacity of 25O tons a day when the new 19-foot bosh stack is completed and the great blowing engines are installed.
 As full as the October output in Ala bama will be, November promises to be a record breaker. for there will be more furnaces in blast next month than usual. In what is known strictly as the Bir- mingham district, there will be no idle furnaces from the time Oxmoor blows in until December when one here and there will go out for repairs.

IS SUPPORTING DEMOCRATS.
John s. Winston Declines to Make
 Speeches for Republicans.

The chairman of the democratic state campaign committee, D. K. Campbell, Is in receipt of a letter from John G. Win ston of Hillianston, stating that he had received a letter from the chairman of the republican campaign committee of the seventh district asking him to make speeches for the republicans. In the letter MT Winston says that he did not know how the republicans ''got me down for Street, and it may be that a wrong im- pression may be made on some voters that I am supporting the republican ticket"
 In his reply to the republican chairman MT. Winston stated that he was not sup porting the republican ticket, as he wide ly differed with them on political ques- tions. In concluding this letter he says: T am heartily supporting Governor Jelks, Burnett and other democratic nominees"
 The work at democratic headquarters at the Metropolitan hotel Is progressing smoothly, and the chairman and those of the central committee who are assisting in the work are daily conferring as to the work of the campaign.
