 The recent contest for the mayors of- flee in Bessemer was both unique and close. Only one vote decided the fight and the wrangle over the voter whose bed was on the boundary line of the city limits was a novel feature of the race.

 Mobilians are jubilant that they are soon to have asphalt paving on their streets. The local paragraphers have amused themselves for many moons in making playful allusions to the condi- tion of the streets and they can not af- ford to rest on their laurels
 A boil of cotton was received Tuesday by Winston. Jones & Co. of Mobile. which was found growing on the island of Cuba. The cotton Is soft as silk to the touch and resembles the Sea Island variety. The stalk was discovered among some old shaeks and how 1t got there Is caus- ing much speculation.
 Mayor Atkins of Selma was locked up in a store recently and had trouble in effecting his release. It seems that John Ford closed his doors at the usual hour and was not aware of Captain Atkins being within. After half an hours wig orous use of the telephone the mayor was restored to freedom

Groverites on the Bowels.

The Montgomery Advertiser assails Senator Morgan because the latter had the audacity to prefer as a leader Ar thur Pue German to Grover Cleveland. It says in substance that he is fool in politics. He has deficiencies" he lacks political sagacity;" he is this. that and the other-all because he prefers Mr. German to MT. Cleveland.
 The esteemed Advertiser proceeds to evoke from its gray matter this brilliant thought-''his calibre (Mr. Gorman's) IS not that of a statesman" l" As arbitration is in fashion in this dis trict The Age-Herald proposes that the calibre issue be submitted to arbitra- tors. The arbitrators shall be Sena- tor Germans colleagues in the United

High School Building.

"I do not know of anything that the men of Birmingham who have children to be educated will be gladder to vote for than s25Oo0o bond issue for high school building" said a mechanic.
 "The old building has been inadequate for several years. Nothing makes a bet ter impression on newcomers to a city than handsome public schools. Birming- ham has a few buildings that would dc credit to any city. And our old high school is all the more remarked because it Is not in keeping with the progress of Birmingham"

 N EsPATCHES from European cen- V)I ters which have special inter
 I< est in the Macedonian uprising agree in declaring that the duration and consequences of the revolt depend upon the attitude of Prince Ferdinand of Bull garia That the insurgents can make much headway against the trained sol- diers of the sultan there Is no reason to suppose Accustomed as the former are to guerrilla fighting in their mountain fastnesses, they are not only wholly un- acquainted with the military tactics of assembled bodies of troops, but are with out united leadership. Boris sarafoff, the only chief who has been mentioned as taking part in the field and who is lit tie more than bandit, was recently de- posed by the revolutionary society, and his successor. General Zoutcheff has thus far shown no special fitness as a military leader. being notorious rather for the atrical escapades with Bulgarian soldiers.
 It is to these escapades rather than to any obvious motive of self-interest on the part of Prince Ferdinand that is due the doubt as to the latter's attitude, his appa- rent unwillingness to deal strictly with the insurgent chief having given rise to sus- picions that the prince was readier to spread the fame of zoutcheff than to sup press the disorder for which he was re- sponsible. That Ferdinand would cast In his lot with the insurgent Macedonians unless urged to do so by one of the strong powers is out of the question. Equally unlikely Is 1t that Austria or Russia, the only nations which could have any motive for goading him to such course, would at this juncture bring on the international complications which a war between Tur- key and Bulgaria might cause. Russia's demand upon the Porte for satisfaction for the killing of her consul at Monastir is not necessarily indicative of disposi- tion to interfere, and in any case the sul- tan will not be likely to stand on any punctilio to save few lives
 News of conflicts in many parts of Macedonia should be read in the light of the fact that the revolutionary society depends on small bands of agitators which are scattered all over the country. If they have been let loose 1t will not be surprising if the whole country will seem to be afiame It will not follow from evidence of their activity, however, that the people have risen in revolt. Much reason as the population of Mace donia has for hating and dreading the Turk. it has not hitherto shown a gen. eral disposition to look to the revolu- tionists as deliverers from his yoke. Pos sibly their long continued propaganda has been more successful than the world was aware of. and it may be that knowledge of this induced the leaders to take active measures. It Is more likely,I however. that the uprising is a desper-

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A widow pops the minute you take her off the ice.
 Contentment is not knowing what you would like to have.
 When our friends speculate and win we call it investment; when they lose we call it just throwing money away.
 A woman has a treiuendous determina- tion else she could never kiss man the way she always does against her will.

 The worst feature of the situation is the danger that the law-abiding peasants will be the chief victims of the Turkish soldiery when the passions of the latter are once aroused. The most hopeful fea- ture is the evidence afforded by the mas ures taken to pacify the Albanians that the sultan realizes the danger to himself of permitting indiscriminate slaughter.

Libel Law Drastic.

San Juan. Porto Rico, June 12.-The
stir in the press of the United States
over the Pennsylvania libel law is
echoed in the newspapers of Porto Rico,
where most drastic code provisions pre-
vail against the press. Under the PEN
al code of Porto Rico, recently adopted,
it is unlawful to publish IN any news
paper, handbill, poster. book or sup
plement thereto. the portrait of any llv-
ing person residing in Porto Rico other
than that of a person holding a public
office in Porto Rico, without first OBJ
tanning the written consent of such per-
son. the only exception being in the
case of person convicted of crime.
1t is also illegal to publish in the man
ner named any caricature of any per-
son residing in Porto Rico, which carl
cature will in any manner reflect upon
the honor, integrity, manhood, virtue,
reputation, or business or political mo-
tives of the person so carcatured, or
which tends to expose the individual
caricatured to public hatred, ridcule or
contempt The newspapers OF Porto
Rico will make a strong effort at the
next session of the Legislative Assem-
bly, to'have the law amended.

largest mining deals recorded here for
some time has just been closed The
Ladd Metals Company, $500, 900 cor.
poration, headed by C. +. Ladd of Port
land and w. H. Adams of New York,
has purchased the Iron Dyke copper
mine in Baker County, across the Snake
River from Seven Devils.
A townis being laid off, named Home.
stead. About June Is work will begin
on the erection of a smelter which will
be of IS tons capacity per day. 1t will
be increased to more than 900 tons per
day as soon as possible. The nearest
railroad point to the works is at Nagle,
near Huntington, distance of 50 miles.
The Ladd Metals Company has pur-
chased II six-horse teams which will
begin hauling building material and ma
chinery to Homestead Immediately, in
order that construction work may begin
June Is.
In the smelter will be introduced a
number OF new features never before
used. One will be furnace which will
be heated by new fuel. The cost of in
stalling the furnaces is $15 900 each.
1t is believed that the introduction of
these improvements and the consequent
building up of the country will cause
the Northern railroad to realize the
necessity of building down the Snake
River to control the traffic that will
come from these sections.
The new merger company has also
acquired holdings of the Consolidated
Copper Mining Company at Mineral
City, Ida.
