PRINCES VISIT HAS NO
 POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE.

Berlin. February 15.-The Cologne Ga zette devotes a lengthy editorial to the departure of Prince Henry on his visit to the United States. It says: Prince Henry goes to express the Emperor's great sym pathies with the racially related American people, and his frank recognition of their healthy and powerful development. The great masses of the German people share with their ruler in that sympathy ant recognition.
 'IIe has no political business in view but regards 1t as important that two racially related nations which have no political antagonisms to fight out any where in the world but which. on the contrary. have manifold cordial points of attachment, should be drawn nearer to- gether in mutual confidence and respect

ANOTHER FURNACE
 ID GO IN BLAST Alabama Consolidated Compa- ny's Property at Ironaton 9O,OOO TONS OF PIG IRON This Was Amount Shipped From Blr- mingham District During Jan
 uary-Market Continues as
 Strong as Ever.

The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company's furnace at Ironaton hav- ing been thoroughly renovated has gone into blast and the daily output of the company is now about 400 tons. The blow ing in of two or three other furnaces this month will increase the Alabama output by something like 800 tons daily. The Ramsey Reilly Engineering and Con- struction Company is building 20 coke ovens at Mary Lee for the Alabama Con- solidated
 The Birmingham district shipped little over 90,0O0 tons of pig iron during the month of July and the district shipped in the same month 4S16 tons of cast iron pipe.
 The pig iron market continues as strong as ever. It is in fact stronger, for while quotations on a SIP basis for No. 2 foundry are adhered to, premiums of 25 and 50c for rush orders are being willingly paid by buyers.
 Report for District.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S circular sheet of yesterday contains this letter from Birmingham:
 During the last sixty days protracted buying movement has resulted in taking up the output of southern furnaces for at least six months to come. Some furnaces are holding a limited amount of certain grades, but a premium is asked for this iron when it is needed for immediate ship ment. While there has been no published change in the nominal schedule of SIP for No ? foundry, yet from 50 to 75 cents above this schedule has been recently paid for round lots for delivery during the second quarter of this year.
 No Change in Situation.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.,, report under Gin cinnati date:
 "There has been no appreciable change in the general situation since our last report Buyers generally seem to feel entirely secure in ordering pig iron for the latter half of the year. The orders entered during the past week have been for deliveries beginning almost every month from March to October compre- hending as usual every variety of iron, evidencing continued activity in all the various branches of the iron and steel | industry"
 "A review of the iron markets of the week is simply a repetition of features commented upon for weeks past until they are familiar to all The only varia- ton for the present week is added em- phasis. The demand for every class of material, instead of slackening, becomes more urgent Necessarily the business that is done relates mainly to the last six months of the year. Necessarily also prices slowly harden. In pig iron, the market will perhaps average fifty cents above what it was a week ago. although there has been mo change in schedule prices by the largest producers"

"I have a little son who sings in a boys 8 choir in one of our prominent churches and he is greatly troubled with hoarse- ness and throat weakness and on my re- turn home from trip I gave him a few of the tablets one Sunday morning when he had complained of hoarseness. He was delighted with their effect, removing all huskiness in few minutes and mak- ing the voice clear and strong.
 "As the tablets are very pleasant to the taste, I had no difficulty in persuading him to use them regularly.
 Our family physician told us they were an antiseptic preparation of undoubted merit and that he himself had no hesita- ton in using and recommending Stuart Catarrh Tablets for any form of catarrh
 T have since met many public speakers and professional singers who used them constantly. A prominent Detroit lawyer told me that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets kept his throat in fine shape during the most trying weather. and that he had long since discarded the use of cheap lozenges and troches on the advice of his physician that they contained so much tolu, potash and opium as to render their use a danger to health"
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large pleasant tasting lozenges composed of ca- tarrhal antiseptics. like Red Gum, Blood Root etc., and sold by druggists every where at 50 cents for full treatment.
 They act upon the blood and mucous membrane and their composition and re- markable success has won the approval of physicians, as well as thousands of suf- ferers from nasal catarrh, throat troubles and catarrh of stomach.

 The car which ran over him was the trailer. According to a statement made by Motorman J. H. Nunnally, the man stepped out to the track as if to catch the car which was slowed down for him. The motorman supposed he intended catching the rear of the car, but instead of that he stepped between the front and rear car the wheels of the latter passing over his stomach and .injuring him internally
 The cars were stopped. and the motor man and conductor ran back to where he was lying on the track He groaned sev- eral times and died before any assistance could be given.
