PEACE SERVICE IN LONDON.
King and Queen Cheered by Thousands

London, June S.-The noisy jubilation with which London has resounded for the last week was succeeded to-day by
 more subdued, although not less inn pressive, public demonstrations of thankfulness for the return of peace in South Africa.

 thanksgiving day in the metropolis the added feature of a notable historic oc- casion. The programme of this morn- ing was not intended to be accompanied by special ostentation King Edward and Queen Alexandra did not pass through the streets even in semistate, but rode to St. Paups in an ordinary landau drawn by four horses, accom- panied by postillions and outriders clad in scarlet tunics. Only those members of the royal family who reside in Buck ingham palace accompanied their maj- esties; the pr nee and Princess of Wales and others proceeded to St Pauls sep arately, but by the same route. The king and the queen were joined at the ca thedral by the Prince and Princess of Wales and many other distinguished personages.
 Although the weather to-day was chilly and dubious. the streets for the entire distance from the palace to the cathedral were thickly lined with peo-

Coke Makinq in Alabama,

Although Alabama is outranked in coal mining by Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois, being fifth an the list, yet in coke making she Is the third State. Pennsylvania had in 1899 26,92O ovens; West Virginia, B. 231, and Alabama, 5,2O6. No other State had 2000 ovens in the year 1899, when the census figures were gathered. In that year Pennsylvania produced coke to the value of $19,- 490.020; West Virginia, $3,792,S25, and Alabama, s3,028,472. Alabama is therefore a good third, although ten years before she was the sixth coke making State Coke is produced in twenty-two States, but in large quan- titles the production is confined to Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ala ibama. The two last named are gain. Ing relatively faster in production than the rest.
 Tn Alabama there were in 1899 fif- teen plants, employing $3,S55,379 of 1692 persons. These plants consum- ed in 1899 3,028,472 tons of coal, more than one-third of the entire coal pro- duct of the State. The wages paid at these plants in the census year az gregated $535.622. The census bull letin relative to coke does not deal with counties, but in Alabama it is safe to assume that nine-teenths of She coke product comes from Jeffer- son county

BlRMlNeAAM's ALLEYS.

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 I noticed a card in your Sunday paper written by a stranger who suggested Clean Alley Convention as one of the things most needed by Birmingham. He also indulged in some little sarcasm at the expense of Mayor Drennen and the good road which was supposed to have been built during his administration and which he says he was unable to find.
 It seems to me that Birminghams al- leys must be in very dirty condition to call forth such comment from stranger, and that they must be in a much worse condition than those of oth- CT cities to have attracted the attention of one who says he is travelling man and therefore must have seen many streets and alleys of various degrees of uncleanliness.
 He suggests a Clean Alley Association with the Mayor as president to take up the matter.
 worse condition than those in other cities and that citizens of the town are so ac- customed to their bad condition that they do not notice them Still MT. Editor 1t seems to me that some one should be responsible, and how they can be clean ed up so as not to attract the unfaVor- able notice of strangers.

Colds. in the New University.

Sex" says President Gilman, twill have nothing to do with admission to the new university" The new Car lnegie university is to be builded on hines broad enough to include all. If women were shut out one-half of the population would be directly exclud- led, directly speaking, from the post lgraduate courses that MT. Carnegie has generously planned to create and offer to all
 Beyond all doubt there will be wo- men students at the new university, especially in certain lines of research and study, and the statement that sex will not be considered a bar there is full of promise that there is to be breadth and liberality throughout the entire conduct of the university. The progress of the race is to be advanced and the board of trustees fhave acted wisely in deciding that women ares not to be excluded. All who desiret to study special subjects beyond the facilities offered else where are to be welcomed. and no doubt a very considerable number of women will be included in the student body when organization is more ad- vanced.

On the m orn- ing of January 31 the ship encountered the hurricane and for three days the crew fought to keep the ship afioat five of the crew having succumbed to exhaustion be- fore the end of the second day. For thirty-eight hours the eighteen men work ed desperately without food in pump ing. The Torpead having steered F miles out of it's course to avoid the hurricane came across the Helen which was sink ing rapidly and before leaving his vessel Captain Kohlsadt fired the line and she sank in ten minutes. The crew of the Helen were brought to Galveston and delivered to the German consul here.

Sure Cure for Headache.

"One of New York's leading profess ional women is enthusiastic just now be- cause of her discovery of new cure for headache" said a Birmingham woman who recently spent some weeks in New York.
 She Is being called The Soup Cure Fiend, because that IS her remedy-plain soup-and any kind of soup. too. She was led to her discovery by the use of hot water as & remedy That brought some relief, but in an hour or so. she says, back would come the headache again.
 The New York woman, being of an enterprising and analytical turn of mind, reasoned that the effect of the hot fluid was to give the stomach something to do and thereby to draw the blood from the brain. As soon as the water was absorb ed and the stomach again disengased, SO to speak. the pain began once more. So she sought for something that would give the stomach longer employment and that would yet not be so wearisome. The soup remedy worked like a charm. There is no copyright on the idea"

SCHWAB'S SALARY,

From the Leslie's Weekly.
 The fact that Charles M. Schwab. prss- ident of the United States Steel Corpora tion. "heads the worlds payrooi." with salary of s225,OOO, a sum more than double that paid to the chief executive of other great corporations whose remuner- ation has been considered generous, and nearly twice the salary of the President of France, need occasion no surprise, and does 1t argue extravaganza on the part of tho corporation to which MT. Schwab gives his services. Considering the enor- nous capital invested in, the steel busi- ness controlled by this company the vast range and complexity of the inter ests involved. and all the heavy responsi- bilties going with the direction of such an enterprise the salary paid is propor- tionately no greater If it is not actually less, than that received by other kings, potentates and captains of industries. Men capable of governing republics like France are not so rare as men who have the gifts required to successfully conduct a gigantic business enterprise such as that over which MT. Sohwab presides and such laborers, like all others arc worthy of their hire.

Gordon Returns to Baltimore.

Mfr. Douglas H. Gordon, president of the International Trust Company of Baltimore and vice president of the Ala bama Consolidated Coal and Iron Com pany. after spending several days in Bir- mingham. returned home last night by the way of Chattanooga.
 MT. Gordon, like all men of capital and business experience. Is a firm believer in the future of Birmingham.
 The city has improved beyond my ex- pectations," said MT. Gordon. Tt has cert ainly made wonderful progress since I was last here"
 "I lost money here in all sorts of in vestments a few years ago" continued MT. Gordon, but Birmingham is solid city now and the situation is therefore entirely different from the investment point of view compared with what it was when I cut my eye teeth here abouts."
 Mir. Gordon is only about 30 years old but he is one of the leaders in the fnan- cial circles of Baltimore. He is a man of business sagacity and conservatism the best sort of conservatism; that born of experience.

John Vlndley's Remarks.

"I observe steady and decided progress in Birmingham. 1t appears better and is better each time visit here Your hotel facilities are better and the town, from a manufacturing and financial point of view, I have no doubt is in better condi- tion than ever in Its history"
 The speaker was Mir John Vindley, president of the Pittsburg Chamber Of Commerce, and a large owner in some of the industries about Pittsburg. Mr. Wind ley Is likewise interested in one or more manufacturing plants in the Birmingham district.
 "Of course I don't mean to say that Birmingham as an iron and steel manu- featuring point is perfect by any means Neither do I believe in indulging in the usual enthusiastic comment of visitors when asked opinion of a city they are visiting. what are it's prospects.
 Birmingham, however, Is well founded. The quality of steel made here is improv- ing Perfection will come fin time when labor becomes thoroughly skilled. This takes time. The future of Birmingham is, in my opinion. exceedingly bright"

Cotton Growing in Alabama.

The crop of 1900 is considered in the census bulletin that presents the ginning statistics of the country. That crop was 10,4S6,148 bales-in Alabama it Twas 1,O61 ,67S bales. The crop in this State is all we need con- sider.
 This crop was put by the gins of the State into 995,6 square and 66,- |076 round bales. The round bales were in weight but PTS pounds each while the square bales averaged 49t pounds. This was done in 4044 gin rneries. Only Georgia and Texas have more gins each than Alabama. IT the country there are 29,214 gins all told. The Alabama gins turned out 4S8,O06 tons of cotton seed, valued at $7,S0S,O96, thus bringing the total Evalue of the States cotton crop in 1900 up to $51. .576, 6,157.9S!

This checked, although 1t did not stop the phenomenal gamble now gei:g on in South Africans. The magnitude of recent dealings is indicated by the fact that of eight leading mining stocks alone. thir- ty-million shares passed through the clearing house. One effect of the diffi- cult settlement was to prevent the de- velopment of much new business still the general tone WAS good and the outlook The rates of discount have been steady and the accumulation of big balances by the goveIn is making money scarce on the open market. However the low discount rates at Berlin and Vienna promise to send considerable continental money here so London can look with equsnimity at the prospect of gold being shipped to New York.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Oysters Scarce.

"The Mardi Gras crowds in New Or leans and Mobile consumed all the oy- sters that the trade could supply and consequently Birmingham restaurants were bare last week of the toothsome bivalves." said the proprietor of lead Ing cafe.
 Our oyster dealers will probably have a good supply Monday. Birmingham gets a few oysters from Virginia a few Blue Points from further east but great bulk of the oysters consumed here come from the gulf. New Orleans sends us the best.
 Speaking of Blue Points, it is safe to say that less than 5000 come this way in the course of a year. Many oysters sold here as Blue Points are nothing but the dwarfs that come along with the large bivalves from New Orleans. It is only in the last three or four years that Bir- mingham has had any call for Blue Points

 There ts no question in it-nothing but a gleaIn of sense. AS rule the first week In March Is in Washington portion of winter, and to bring on at that time a great outdoor event to be witnessed by thousands, in which new president and hundreds of others must take part, is simply un- reasonable. It has killed thousands. It promotes pneumonia. The raw sleety inauguration days should be abolished, and they would have been abolished long ago if the difficulties of amending the constitution had not been so great.
 This proposition doubtless becomes the sixteenth amendment, and per haps it Will pave the way to other amendments that are much needed. Amendments by the supreme court have long been in order, and 1t is time now that the people took hand at that business. The federal consti- tuition Is by no means a perfect in- strument. It need not be a national fetich. It needs amendment, and the one just started may well become the forerunner of one relating to the manner of electing United States Senators at least.
 So far as the inauguration of Pres idents is concerned, there should be no hesitation In making a change. There is precedent for a change, for President Washington was not inau- gurated unln April 30, 17S9.
