 Wonderful City.
 Cornelius Corcoran, president of the common council of Milwaukee, said he had heard and read a great deal about Birmingham before coming
 And I am convinced you have won- derful city" he continued. "rhe first thing that caught my eye was your wide streets and the clean condition in which they are kept. You are blessed by nature, too, in having such wonderful resources. I never knew until today that there was any place in the world where coal, iron ore and limestone were deposited side by side. You ought to produce a ton of pig iron cheaper than anybody
 Various members of the party expressed themselves as delighted with the south. They left Milwaukee with the thermo- meter at 12 below zero. and in day and a half were in Pensacola, where violets and other flowers were bloom ing on the lawns.
 One hundred people in the party had never been south of the Ohio river before, and the southern climate was revela- ton to them.
 Coal in Milwaukee.
 "In Milwaukee coal was selling at $15 ton," said one of the party. You are very fortunate in not having anything like that to contend with. We make trip to some point in the United States every year. but this is the first time we have been south. You can rest assured that we shall be back again next year."
 All the party was well with the ex- ception of one or two who had contracted slight colds.
