eouLD's START IN BUSINESS.
Break Between Young Magnate and j.
Pierpont Morgan.

From the Cosmopolitan
Scarcely had George Gould taken hold
of the vast interests intrusted to his care
than he had serious alteration with ].
Perpont Morgan over the proposed pur-
chase of the New York and Northern
railroad by the Manhattan Elevated rail-
road. Gould left Morgan's offices much
angered, and is said never to have enter
ed them again from that day to this. One
of Jay Gould's intimate friends, hearing
this circumstance, volunteered a bit of
words:
George, as an admirer of your father,
and as one interested in your highest well
fare, l seriously hope you will not COM
nit the blunder at the beginning OF your
career of antagonizing the leading inter-
ests In the business world"
George said nothing, but evidently 1t
set him to thinking. That remarkable
business ability for which fond father
gave him credit not long afterward de-
veloped in way that showed he was
possessed of an acuteness that no one
dreamed Of, If he should not antagonize,
thought he, he should make alliances with
the great powers in the business world
But he had broken with Morgan. He
should, therefore, join issues with others
equally great, or greater II possible.
He turned to the Rockefellers, those
commercial giants whose supremacy had
been unchallenged for more han decade.
Much has been said during the last year
or two of the financial backing which the
STANDARD OIL interests have been giving
to Gould. He who can answer this ques-
ton accurately will be able to foretell the
outcome of the battle of railroad giants
which is now in progress at both extremi-
ties of the United States in an effort to
block the efforts of the aggressive sue
cessor of Jay Gould In getting Atlantic
and Pacific terminals for his ambitious
trans-continental system.

Crop Prospects,.

Between dry weather and cold
weather the crops are not looking very
we'll At the best they will be fully
two weeks late. The weather bureaus
report for the week ending May 4 says
that throughout the cotton belt low
temperatures have proved detrimental
in retarding termination and growth,
and there are still drouthy conditions
in Texas and in the central gulf states.
Poor stands are generally reported.
Much of the corn will have to be
planted over, and not little cotton
seed did not terminate
The cotton that has terminated in
Alabama looks siclly, and replanting
will be necessary in some cases, espe-
cially where a crust has been formed
on prepared lands. The crop in this
state has a late start.
But there is full acreage in this
state and the increase in the use of
fertilizers will be between eight and
twelve per cent. A few days of bright
sunshiny weather, together with sea-
sonable showers, would soon change
the prospect, and give this state an
excellent outlook At present, how
ever, the crop has not an early and
favorable start.
The weather conditions in this state
extend to all parts of the cotton belt,
although in the easterly part of it there
is no want of moisture. Cool weather
has prevailed in every state, including
Texas, and dry weather in all states
west of Georgia. There has been moth
ing. however. in any state that will
prevent a good crop if weather condi-
lions he hereafter favorable.

ANGER RESTORED HIS SPEECH.
A Remarkable Recovery From ParaIy-
sis in Montana Town.

Helena, Mona mans remarkable re-
covery of his voice is the all-absorbing
topic at Basin. small mining town half
way between Helena and Butte.
John Matt for many years an en-
ployee of the Great Northern railroad
was stricken with paralysis more than
fifteen months ago. When he was able
to walk again he found to his sorrow
that he could not utter word, although
he could hear distinctly. About two
weeks ago he was taken Ill and confined
to bed For several days he lowered be-
tween life and death.
One afternoon several friends called,
and while they were present the doctor
came upon the scene Matt was In a
semi-stupor and seemed unable to rec
ognize even his most intimate friends
and relatives. The condition of his health
was discussed and the visitors We're
unanimous in expressing the belief that
death was inevitable.
When Matt heard this he rose from his
pillow as If by magic and exclaimed in
terms far more forcible than elegant
that he was not dead man. nor did he
intend to die. Then, suddenly realizing
that he had recovered his voice, he apol-
ogized profusely for the abuse he had
heaped upon his physician and friends
and became fervent in his thanks for
their presence.
HAD you not come" said he, land
made me angry l do not believe l would
have recovered my voice"
From that moment his recovery has
been rapid, and in few days he will
resume his old place with James ]. Hill

Emigration from Ireland.

From Bradstreets.
The vital statistics report of the regis
trar general for ireland for the year end
ing December 49, 1902, recently laid before
parliament, shows the volume OF emigra-
tion from that country during the year.
The total number of emigrants was 40, 401,
or 81 per thousand of the country's pop
ulation. as estimated in the month of
June. These emigrants comprised 1888
males and 2l,50S females, an increase of
53l over the number emigrating during
the preceding year, 1901.
The province of Connaught furnished the
largest portion of this outflow compared
with it's population, the number being H.
53S. or IT'S per thousand; next came Mum
ster, with 15.s72. or 147 per thousand. then
Ulster, with 1901, or 81 per thousand. and
Leinster, which contains Dublin, with 1894
or 80 per thousand of the people. Com
pared with the year 1901, these figures

The portions of the report taken up with
the tables and the analysis of the emil

on which the collection of these returns
commenced, show the heavy drain of pop
ulation that has taken place Between
May 1. 1851, and January of the present
year the emgrants from Ireland make
up the total of 992l, 222 comprising 2040, 236

WHAT GIRLS TALK ABOUT.
Why, Clothes, of Course, and the
"Eternal Masculine"

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Mrs. Ella Richardson, former president
of the Missouri State Suffrage association,
told the Englewood Womans club on
Monday that the girls of today talk about
clothes-and men. True enough. They do
And the women of today talk about
clothes-and men,
We are violating no secret when we
say that the boys of today talk about
athletics-and girls, about their school
work-and the girls, about everything
and girls; while the men of today talk
about businessman women, politics-and
women. and sometimes about clothes
and women.
This would be a weary world II the
girls and women did not talk generally
about the boys and the men. If there
Is anything better girl or a woman can
talk about than the boys and the men,
or anything better a boy can talk about
than the girls and the women, Mrs. Rich
ardson aught to tell us what 1t is. Ger
talnly, whether there is anything better
or not there is nothing more natural. II
the girls of today are talking about
clothes and men, they are doing only
what their great great -grandmothers did
Jefore them, and there is not right
minded man on the face of the earth
who would have their principal topics Of
conversation changed. For, after all, no
matter what other intervals in life she
may have-and the girl of the period has
many and worthy ones-her greatest in
terest centers in the clothes she wears
and the man she likes, and because of
this fact she Is interested largely in
clothes and mankind generally.

Fire in North BlrmInnham.

It is useless to lament the lack of
water and fire apparatus at North Biz
mingham when fire was discovered in
the fine new plant of the Southern
Sewer Pipe company. What Is needed
Is an extension of the water pipes for
the purpose of inducing the sewer
pipe company to rebuild their plant.
1t is an industry much needed here,
being the only one in Alabama or
Miss't sippi-perhaps the only one in
the gulf states, and it's product was in
sharp demand, although 1t had been
IN partial operation but two months.
The company will assuredly rebuild
if 1t can secure reasonable protection
against fire, and the first thing needed
is water, and plenty of it. The Com
mercial club should take hand in this
matter. The water works company is
a public utility, dependent upon the
city for its business, and it should be
and assuredly can be induced to serve
the entire community by extending its
pipes tc the chief business streets of
North Birmingham, on or near which
the sewer pipe plant is located.
A widely-signed petition would be
effective, and if the Commercial club
will rake hold of the subject there will
be no trouble in getting such aid to-
wards a rebuilding of the valuable
plant. President Russell is desira 'le
citizen, and he and his plant must OF

water and fre-fghting apparatus al

exceed $4,000, and it should be forth

WHO HAS RIGHT TO THE
TITLE OF A GENTLEMAN?

Of gentleman" was chosen to express
the fact that its holder does no work.
manual or mental, for his support, but
living at ease on the proceeds of the
labor of others. This is certainly the
case of ZAP Adams who is to be sup
piled with the means Of existence for
year to come at public expense And SO,
also, is it the case of Reggie" Wander
bilt, whose work in the world 1t would
surely be difficult to point out. If we
take this view of the matter a gentle
man is one who has no occupation; he
assumes the title by exclusion. not by
acquisition.
The inference is that when q man en-
cages in no useful occupation and is
he becomes a gentleman" II he is en-
geged in work, whether with hands or
brain. he prefers the more honorable
desie nation of worker-a manufacturer,
q me1 chant a physician, teacher, a
banker, shoemaker, a laborer. He
calls himself O gentleman only when none
of these occupations are open to him,
a nonentity IN the progress of the race
We hesitate to accept this conclusion,
logical as 1t seems to be. The title Of
gentleman cannot be given over to be
the sport of degeneracy; 1t cannot be
stripped of all the associations Of honor
able living of altruistic effort, Of high
sentiment. which have come down to us
through the ages since the word was
first framed. The convict in our prisons,
the pauper in our almshouses, the useless
rich man who knows no duty but his
own pleasure, these are not the ideal of
the American gentleman. We are race
of gentlemen because we are race OF
workers, striving for the betterment OF
the social conditions and the welfare of
the community as well as for the aceu-
mutation of wealth; and under the over
alls of the laborer we are as likely to
find the true gentleman as under the
swell garments of the millionaire.

The Sewer Pipe Company.

II have heard a great many prominent
men express the hope that the plant Of
the Southern Sewer Pipe company at
North Birmingham would be rebuilt, ="
said business man last night.
THE plant before its destruction by
fire was something of which the city
could well be proud. 1t involved large
capital brought a great deal of money
to the community, gave employment to
more than hundred men and was in
every way desirable concern. It's man
agement was made of men who are en-
terprising and public spirited, and who
were ambitious both for the upbuilding
of their own business and for increasing
the greatness of Birmingham.
while the plant was practically total
loss and every part will have to be built
anew, 1t is to be hoped that it will be
done and that Birmingham will be able
to keep here an industry which was the
only one of its kind within radius of
10 miles from the city"
