THE OLD CRAB-APPLE TREE.

Little old crab apple tree
Down beside the stream that goes
Winding onward lazily,
Never caring where it flows.
Are you standing there to-day
AS you did long, long ago
Waiting fragrance far away
When your sweet pink blossoms blow?
Do the COWS, se6ate sad-eyed
Come to rub against you there,
Polishing your gnarly side,
Leaving little tufts of hair?
Does the blackbird, with his wings
Crimson-splashed. still come and so,
AS il charmed with earthly things,
When your sweet pink blossoms blow?
Little old crab apple tree.
am going back some day
To lie down and laZiiy
Hear the water sing away;
l am going back to dream
Glad old dreams of long ago
Where the COWS wade in the stream
And your sweet pink blossoms blow.

He had hardly got his land legs, and
as he stood looking into the drawing
room and the bright rooms beyond
from which the murmur of laughter
and many voices came, he drew his
hand across his brow with quick, odd
GESTURE, as though he brushed cobwebs
from his brain. 1t wasn't in the least
what he had been led to expect.
In the brilliant room one face, deli
cate face framed in masses of dark
hair, paled at the old familiar sweep of
Bobby's hand across his brow.
There was a swift swish of silllen
skirts, and at his elbow voice that
had delicious quaver in it, saying:

"Steam.-not an hour ago-home."

at his old jauntiness. Give brought

Ice1anders who Come South.

In this cosmopolitan city there
doubtless are Icelanders, though they
are the last people one would think
of as immigrants. But these hardy
men of the north do come to this
continent in numbers, and it is an IL
lustration of how much thicker blood
is than water that they should go TO
the same region where most of the
people of the Scandinavian peninsula
settle. All this comes out in the
news that the University of Mani
toba gives two courses in Icelandic.
and that the University of North Da-
kcta is likely to give such courses,
and possesses and Icelandic library.
There is an Icelandic Lutheran church,
which is under the control of synod
which includes Manitoba Minnesota
and the Dakotss.-N. Y. Tribune.

Got Bibb's Trunk

The police are in possession of the trunk of John Bbb. the missing man so much wanted In connection with the robbery of the Union station and charged with which Bennett Bibb, his brother and J. A. Williamson are now in the city pri- on. The fact about the trunk leaked out this morning, but nothing could be learned as to the contents. though 1t Is not believed any of the money was found In the capture of the effects.
 It Is also known that an effort was made yesterday to find out where the trunk was checked to from Warrior when 1t was intercepted by a piece of clever work on the part of the police detectives. IL is not even given out whether any clue was 0bt fined by the capture of the trunk to the present whereabouts of the owner, The police claim that the trunk is the common property of the Bibb boys, or used as such but this is denied by Ben nett Bibb, who Is in prison. This trunk it is alleged by the police, Is but another evidence of the mysterious relationship existing btween John and Bennett Blob as the latter disclaims that he had been occupyIng the room No. 37 in the Frisco Hotel which appears on investigation tc have been rented by John Bibb. Yet Bennett BIhb, the detectives assert. was about to enter the room the morning he was appreh ended with Williamson, Thurs. day, May 2S.

Ofhcials of the several furnace cor- panles belonging to the Southern Asso- oiatlon Of furnaces held a meeting here today for the purpose of considering the pig iron market conditions. The meeting was held In the office of the Tennessee coal, lroi and Railway Company. Among those who were in the meeting were President D. H. Bacon, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company; Vice President J. w. Mcqueen, and Sales Agents David Evans, Chicago. and Robert Fields, Cincinnati, of the Sloss- Shemeid Steel and Iron Company; Presi- dent A. w. Thompson; Vice President w. II.

THE MISSISSIPPI.
It Might Again be Made a Delight ful Route for Leisurely Travellers.

full Route for Leisurely Travellers.
 New Orleans Picayune.
 If the river cities and towns would waste less time with foolish visions of becoming seaports and bringing ocean, going vessels up a dangerous and long channel to their wharves and devote more energy to improving the river for steam boat navigation. they might expect to accomplish a great deal more good There Is no reason why the Mississippi should not float large fleets of steam boats carrying passengers and freight. There Is no country in the world pos sessing a waterway with a hundredth part of the facilities offered by the Mis- sissippi that does not enjoy tenfold the river traffic that is seen on that great river. The waterway should be constant ly traversed by palaual steamboats all the way from New Orleans to St. Paul. There should be fast passenger vessels making the trip regularly between this city and St. Louis, and from there to points in the upper river. There is no more enjoyable trip in the world than voyage on fine steamer up the Mis- sissippi River Of course it is longer than travel by rail- but with the leisure class of travellers time Is not so import ant. while all the discomforts. such as | heat. dust, smoke and the restraint of cramped quarters, which are accompan- iments of railroad travel, are lacking on the river. where a traveller can have eV- cry comfort of q first-class hotel.
 | This is the sort of development of the Mississippi River that is needed, and not | the opening of an impossible ship chan mel to enable seagoing ships to unload their cargoes at St. Louis and Chicago.

The News of Birmingham

Birmingham, June 2-(Special)-Capt Richmond Pierson Hobson delivered the annual address to the junior class at the North Alabama Conference College at Owenton this morning. The chapel where the exercises were held was crowded to it's utmost capacity, hundreds from Birmingham and vicinity being attracted by the reputation of the well known or ator. Throughout Captain Hobson's speech much enthusiasm prevailed. Ap- plause constantly prevented the speaker from continuing. Captain Hobson said in part: 'Militarism is the dominant factor of Europe. Industrialism charactsrizes America. The great fear of European na- tions is that their neighbors will invade them. This fear is absent from America. The great need of America is a strong naval force with a corresponding les sening of the army.
 America stands today as the equal of the combined European powers. One American Is equivalent to three and one- half Europeans from every industrial viewpoint. It will not be long before America will stand as the dominant fac tor in the world polite.
 "The example set by the United States in the Cuban and Philippine wars Is with out parallel in the history of the world. In the recent invasion of China, when European Shylocks were unmercifuuy squeezing China for the last farthing of indemnity. America stood alone and le- nient and as an exponent of justice and right"
 At the conclusion of his address he was given a cheering reception. This after noon he was the guest of J. H. Adams, Assistant General Manager of the Repub- lie Iron and Steel Company. He will leave tomorrow morning for Washington.

Bankhead for German.

Congressman J. H. Bankhead. en route to Tuscaloosa, while here gave out the following statement as to his opinion in national matters: "I am for German for the Democratic Presidential nomination. believe he is the strongest man the Democrats can name and what is more l am of the opiinon that he will get the nomination. MT. Cleveland. in my opinion. is not seeking and would not accept the nomination German is the man and he is gaining strength all the while. am glad that MT. Cleveland is taking an act i've interest in party affairs again, but I am not for him for the Presidency. nor do I have the slightest idea that he Is after the nomination With reference to Senator German I desire to say that he combines all the elements of a strong leader and an able man. With regard to his tariff record, my reply to any criti- cism of him on that score is that his tariff record is all right Had the Wilson bill become a law as it was originally framed in the House, it would have ere ated very large deficit. The work of German and others in the Senate in amending the bill prevented such a re- suit, and I think German has nothing to be ashamed of in the matter of his tariff record. 1 believe If he is nominated he can carry both New York and New Jer- sey. To my mind he is the man for the Democrats to name"

It is pretty generally conceded by Republicans as well as Democrats that his Acknowledgement in the South, based on his illiteracy and ignorance, is not only a good thing for the State. but for the negro himself. The purpose of Dr. Hills was to reflect upon the South. but it might be called to his attention that certain New England States disfran- chise classes of their population. which same classes enjoy the suffrage in the South
