of well known person and do untold damage before he is caught. In a large town like New York such scheme could be worked without trouble. Since ths Abeel affair playwrights have in their possession a fine tip for some original dramas which they would do well to write.
 Although the Paris exposition was gen orally considered failure a late report brings out the fact that the French cap ital was visited by 3.Oo0,00O foreigners dur ing the show and each expended a sum amounting to twenty pounds. The rail ways took in that year over 3,00O,OOO pounds more than in 1S99 In spite of these figures the show itself was not the success that had been predicted. Yet no city in the world is better adapted for such an exposition and has more attractions for visitors. Aside from its great beauty of architecture and landscape is it's reputa- tion of being the gayest city in the world, and the best in which to spend money. Perhaps one reason visitors were disap- pointed in the exposition was the fact that public taste for such shows had become satiated We have had too many of them since the great worlds fair at Chicago achieved such remarkable success.
 It is something of a shock to antiqua- rians to learn that those picturesque old mansions along the Atlantic Seaboard were not constructed of brick imported from England in colonial days. as was once fondly believed Yet George Alfred Townsend has informed the Columbia His torical society that not a single one of those buildings revefenced for so long in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, was built of brick from the old country. Since MT. Townsend is an authority on such matters or thinks he is, his state ment must be accepted. Yet colonial man. sions are picturesque and beautiful in their quaint styles of architecture and it is hard to see how it makes any real difference whether they were constructed of imported brick or home material It certainly makes no difference in their appearance F. c.

Birmingham Streets.

One of the most noticeable things in Birmingham" remarked quiet observer yesterday. lis the cleanliness of the streets; It must be very gratifying to the merchant, when on his way to his store in the morning to be greeted with such fresh looking streets. I know that it is only right and proper for such to be the case but have been in many cities where the municipal authorities are indifferent in this respect.
 While good pure water and good drain age are great factors in the health of a community. clean streets are equally as indispensable. Another thing, it is a fine advertisement. Among the many features which make this city a most desirable place to live in, the attention it gives to it's thoroughfares figures by no means the least conspicuous"

Expenditures for Christian Young Men

From the Christian Intelligencer.
 Last year over $4 100000 was spent for Young Mems Christian Association build ings throughout North America, and at the present time there are over fifty large buildings in course of erection to cost nearly as much more. The associations now own 40 buildings, worth $29,000, 900, and an endowment amounting to $2,500 00o. On Sunday, October IS, three new buildings were dedicated-one at New ark, N.

WooDMAN, SPARE THAT TREE.

y George Pope Morris. Woodman. spare that tree.
 Touch not a single bough, In youth it sheltered me,
 And I'll protect it now. 'T was my forefather's hand
 That placed 1t near his cot: There, woodman, let it stand, Thy axe shall harm it not. That old familiar tree,
 Whose glory and renown Are spread o'er land and sea And wouldst thou hew 1t down? Woodmen, forbear thy stroke. Cut not it's earth-bound ties; Oh spare that aged oak
 Now towering the skies When but an idle boy,
 I sought its grateful shade; In all their gushing joy
 Here, too, my sisters played My mother kissed me here;
 My father pressed my hand Forgive this foolish tear,
 But let that old oak stand. My heart-strings round thee cling, Close as thy bark, old friend! Here shall the wild-bird sing. And still thy branches bend. Old tree, the storm still brave' And, woodman, leave the spot; While I've a hand to save.
 Thy axe shall harm 1t not.

Alabama at Sf. Louis.

The acton of the Jefferson county board of revenue yesterday in appro- priating $5000 toward the expenses ot a Birmingham district exhibit at the St. Louis exposition was wise and pubic-spirited, and will be commended by every citizen of Greater Birmlng- ham.
 The whole amount necessary to pay for a colossal figure of Vulcan, to be made of Birmingham iron, and to de- fray expenses incidental to maintain ing a bureau of industrial information, will be $20,0O0. One-fourth of this sum having been voted by the board of revenue, the committee of the Com mercial club having this enterprise in hand will find it comparatively easy to raise the balance by local subscrip- tion.
 While a representative of the club is in the east looking for a sculptor to design the iron colossus the committee will work with enthusiasm in getting the funds together
 Birmingham was a little late per haps in taking up this matter of an exhibit, but there is time enough tc accomplish 1t, and there can be nc doubt of the practical benefit that the district will derive from it. Other sec tions of the country will make at tractive and costly displays at St. Louis, but it is certain that the Birmingham district in the unique and compre- hensiye character of it's exhibit, will make a wonderful hit, a hit indeed second to none. But a fitting exhibit of the Birmingham district must not suffice for this great prolific state of ours, with it's agriculture, cotton mills, woods and quarries The Industrial and Commercial Association of Ala bama which Is called to meet in this city tomorrow for the purpose of de vising ways and means for a state ex' hibit at St Louis, should not find it difficult to carry out it's object. Every state in the union except Alabama Vermont and Delaware has building on the exposition grounds. Alabama cannot afford to be left out of the list The commissioner of agriculture hae d fund of SIP 900 or more from the sale of fertilizer tags that should be available for the purpose in question and it is believed that the governor can spare a few thousand dollars out of his contingent fund If the Indus trial and Commercial association can get this assistance from the state it will be able to raise the balance needed
 This. is a time when state pride should cause every representative man in Alabama to lend his aid to this movement. Concert of action and en, thusiasm in Mondays meeting should bear fruit, and then Alabama as well as Birmingham will come out at last with flying colors at St. Louis.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 A woman and her money are soon shop ping.
 Woman is citadel taken not by siege but by assault.
 The more man loves a pipe the less a woman's temper irritates him.
 A woman has as much respect for logic as A man has for old love letters.
 The devil would go out of business if women could have all the clothes they want.

What Radium Could Do.

Cleveland Moffett in McClure's.
 q have no doubt" said M. Curie that a kilogram of radium would be sufficient to destroy the population of Paris, grant ing that they came within its influence. They would feel nothing during their ex- posture to the radium nor realize that they were in any danger, And weeks would pass after their exposure before anything would happen. Then gradually the skin would begin to peel off and their bodies would become one great. sore. Then they would become blind. Then they would die of paralysis and conges- ton of the spinal cord"

rThe crowds on the streets tonight re- minds one of the holiday seasons said Policeman Murphy last night.
 "The thoroughfares look decidedly metropolitan. Street cars have been fly ing in every direction and the stores, hotels, restaurants, soda water places, saloons and newstands presented busy scenes up to late hour. Birmingham never looked more animated than it does tonight"

NICE the story of a western mil 0C lionaire who offered s6OOO for an " ear-which by the way has now
 been found-has gained such widespread
 newspaper notoriety, poetasters in vari-
 ous parts of the country have been try
 ing their hands, or rather pens. at de- vising rhymes on the subject. It must be confessed that some of the effusions
 that have already appeared display faint sparkles of press humor but as master pieces of literature they will hardly take , rank with Paradise Lost or the Rape of the Lock-" In fact, some are good, some are bad, and the rest are indifferent. : The theme Is good one and it Is strange
 that some of the bright fellows on dailies
 have not done better with their jngles. Usually one can find no fault with their lines. Perhaps the subject of a human ear bartered for gold Is too painful and mercenary for press genius.
 The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has either been | grossly plagiarized of his choicest utter ances or else brother divine has gone
 him one better for the Rev W. F. Crafts | of Washington says emphatically that l Cincinnati Is nearer hell than any other | city in the world is or ever will be- Since Dr. Parkhurst informs us that New York | Is only seven weeks removed from satanic
 realms Cincinnati must therefore be even less. Perhaps one month distant. This will give the Ohio town a two weeks | handicap on Gotham and that is enough. The former may, be bad but the latter is also wicked, and it would be too much | to say that Cincinnati is closer than a
 month to hell. As to whether the divine is correct in his estimate of the world S
 wickedness is hard to say Perhaps it is all a mere matter of opinion. There is Paris. for instance, MT. Crafts seems to have overlooked that pleasant town. Then, in popular vernacular there are others. However. no one denies that Gin lcinnati would be the better for an era of l reform.
 | The Goelet family is being publicly
 commended for their spirit in taking steps to punish the presumptious individual who passed himself off as Robert Goelet and came very near running the life of | girl who was awakened from her dreams ! of wealth to find that she had been duped. ] 1t is fortunate for her future welfare
 that the fraud was discovered before ! Abeel had carried on his schemes very 1 far. Of course it was wrong to assume
 the name of a wealthy and powerful fam | fly for unscrupulous designs. but the in
 dignation of the Goelets seems to have obscured the plight of the girl. It is
 stated that she cannot be convinced that
 she was not really betrothed to real Goelet instead of a fraud. It is hard to give up such hopes as she probably all | lowed herself to indulge in and the shat tering of her dream of splendor must have
 been rude. This case shows how very
 easy it is for a rascal to adopt the name
