IRON TRADE DISCUSSED.
Conference of the Manufacturers Held
 In London.

London, March 3l.-The British iron trade and American competition were the subjects of a conference of iron and steel manufacturers held In London to- day, with the object of considering how best to meet the competition of the Uni- ted States.
 Ebenezer Parker, NJ. P. of Birmingham, who presided, said that while in America he was much struck by the number of Englshmen who were occupying respon- sible posts in American factories. Many of the best inventions, he added, were the work of Englishmen. The reason Eng land did not adopt labor-saving appli- ances, was the lack of surplus capital, but the English manufacturers would have to make greater use thereof and scrap old machinery more readily, if they desired to be abreast of the times
 Mir Parker also spoke of the necessity for approaching business men as consuls as was done by the United States and ad- vocated a reform of the present free trade system and closer trade relations within the empire as means of meeting the "American onslaught"
 A number of papers were read by the commissioners of the Iron Trade assoca- tion who were sent to America the gem eral trend of which was in effect that the better part of the iron and steel in- dustry occupied an unassalable position. although pending the development of the resources of Canada and other colonies. A period of serious competition and in- vasion from the United States was to be expected.
 One of the commissioners who had just returned from the United States, said he considered the preponderance of the United States steel corporation as being fit for the European trade as the cor poration would do its utmost to maintain the present prices at which the British manufacturers undersell the American product

w and SOCIETY
Miss Juds0n'S
 Artistic Love Story.

Every one is reading the charming and artistic little story Tn Each Other s Eyes" which appears in the Easter num- Der of the Ladies Home Journal
 The story has brought eonspicuously forward a very interesting Alabama writer, whose personality Is equally as attractive as that of the bue-eyed heroine in her latest story.
 Miss Lulu Judson of Bessemer Is the author of the love story of the Easter journey, which is by no means her first story although she is a young writer.
 Her stories have appeared from time to time in the Womans Home Companion, Munsey's, the Ladies Home Journal, and she has contributed short sketches to the newspapers in addition to her regular work on the Bessemer Weekly, owned and edited by her father, MT. W. H. Judson, and as correspondent of The Age-Herald.
 She has always been extremely literary in her tastes, and her first story was published in the New Orleans Times Democrat when she was only F years old
 Tn Each Others Eyes Is the purest
 
 author reveals a rare and delicate power in It's telling. since the incident treated with less delicacy, less knowledge of the conyentionalities. less subtler, would be commonplace. But handled with the charm with the exquisite naturalness that it is, the reader readily appreciates and to the fullest extent, the "situation," and will not dare to suppose for the hum dredth part of a second that the writer has oyer-drawn an incident of love at first sight. If a shadow of lncredulity creeps into the minds of that class of readers who dismiss the love at first sight idea, it may be construed into a lingering hope that such things do occur.
 Miss Judson's story bears out the time honored belief The background is not governors ball or a May Day in James, town, or any scene so picturesque The author, therefore, depends entirely upon the fate" element to give interest to her story, and so delieately does she reveal the recognition" the reader Is scarcely conscious that the setting" of the story is the interior of a Pullman car.
 The story consumes the Journey of the heroine from New Orleans to Birming- ham. On the same train Is a young con gressman from this district who Is return ing from a hunting trip.
 The author very wisely postpones the conventional introduction until the end of the journey.

Decided disappointment is being ex- pressed in society over the decision to postpone the presentation of a clever little comedy that was to have had its re- hearsals this week. The leading roles had been assigned and the production was to have been elaborately staged Easter week. Other plays are now being dis cussed, and as soon as a conclusion is reached, rehearsals will occupy many so- eiety people.
