GETS USE OF BRIDGE
SHEFFIELD COMPANY SUCCESS
 FIJI IN NEGOTIATIONS.
Structure of the Southern Over the Tennessee Will Be Used for
 Electric Ra1lroad-New
 Corporation's Officers.

Washington, March 2S.-(Special. .)-J. Warren Worthington of Sheffield, has just been to this city and had an agreeable final conference concerning mutual interests with the authorities of the Southern Railway. The subject of concern was the Southerns bridge across the Tennessee River at Florence.
 A few weeks ago announcement was made of the chartering. under the laws of New Jersey, of the Sheffield Com pany," a corporation formed to operate an electric railway between the cities of Sheffield. Florence and Tuscumbia, in Alabama. The absence of any details of information at the time, except that its capital stock was $5O0, GOO, attracted little attention. A further reference came in the statement few days later that the proposed company had failed in an eff fort that was essential to a successful beginning of operations. That was to get from the Southern Railway the right to use it's bridge across the Tennessee River at Florence.
 After some weeks of conference between the projectors of the Sheffield Company and the executive offers of the Southern Railway an agreement has been reached which leaves nothing lacking toward the promotion and progresyA be conduct of the enterprise in all detailS as contemplated by its organizers
 Agreement having been reached by which the Sheffield Company will have the use of the formers bridge over the Tennessee River the work of constructing the electric railway connecting the three cities will begin at once and be com pleted as soon as possible.
 Contingent upon the success of the ef- fort to obtain the use of the Florence bri 1ge were the purchases of the stocks of the Sheffield Development Company, Sheffield Water, Sheffield Light and Pow CT companies. with the purpose of build ing and equipping the electric railway, the extension of water pipes in Sheffield and Tuscumbia and the extension of lights and power to Tuscumbia. On the south bank of the Tennessee, in Sheffield, power-house of the most approved modern type will be erected and equipped. The fact that this pow1r house will be much larger than the present require ments of the communities Is simply an evidence of the faith of the owners and operators of tbe company in the growth of the population and the expansion of demands for manufacturing power. Light and power will be furnished at once for Sheffield Florence and Tuscumbia, in addition to power for the electric railway Ample power for new industries will be supplied as they are established
 The officers of the Sheffield Company who were elected at the first meeting of the stockholders, which was held in Jer- sey City, N. J., are:
 President, Henry Parsons, of New York; Vfce-President. J. w Worthing- ton, of Sheffield; General Manager, l.. H. McIntire, Sheffield; Secretary and, Treas urer, W. U. Parsons, New York, N. Y.

Bulgarian Wedding Customs.

A curious wedding custom which ex- ists in Bulgaria is the shaving of the bridegroom on the wedding day
 While the barber is engaged upon his face dancing crowd of boys and girls surround the bridegroom. When his haFr has been cut. the pieces are carefully col lecte2 by some of the girls, to be preserv- ed in one of the brides chests
 After the barber has finished his work he receives small white linen cloth as a present. and each person gives him a tritiing sum of money. Then the bride groom kisses the hand of each girl. washes his face and dons his wedding dress. which must be first accurately weighed three times by lad.
 These strange customs are said to date back to pre-ChTistian days, but they are still strictly observed. especially in coun- try districts.

THE DAY IS DONE.
By Henry wadsworth 1onefellowt

y Henry Wadsworth Longfellow' These verses were written in the fall of Ia 4, and published at Christmas of the sam. ear in small volume of poems selected bI Ir. Longfellow.
 The day is done. and the darkness
 Falls from the wings of Night, As feather is waited downward
 From an eagle in his flight. I the lights of the village
 Clean through the rain and the mist And a feeling of sadness comes OCT me That my soul cannot resist: feeling of sadness and longing.
 That Is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only
 AS the mist resembles the rain. Come. read to me some poem,
 Some simple and heartfelt lay. That shall soothe this restless feelinA And banish the thoughts of day. Not from the grand old masterzS
 Not from the bards sublime. Whose distant footsteps echo . Through the corridors of Time. For, like strains of martial musiA
 Their mighty thoughts suggest Lifes endless toll and endeavor;
 And tonight I long for rest. Read from some number poet,
 Whose songs gushed from his heart. As showers from the clouds of Summon Or tears from the eyelids starry Who. through long days of labor.
 And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music
 Of wonderful melodies. Such songs have power to quiet
 The restless pulse of care And come like the benediction That follows after prayer. Then read from the treasured volume The poems of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet
 The beauty of thy voice. And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs. And as silently steal away.

 Reticent.

The Ministers. Union of Montgomery. which comprises every Protestant preach CT in the city, has taken a determined stand against the playing of baseball in Montgomery on Sunday and the minis ters Will use every means possible to put of the Sabbath.
 Lew Whistler, manager of the Mont gomery baseball team, said last night that the protest of the ministers would tween his team and the Chicago ball players. He said the game would be played unless there was rain.
 when public announcement was made
 that baseball was to be played on Sum days at the new park near Pickett Springs the Ministers Union met and appointed a Committee to do all in its power to prevent Sunday ball games. This Committee consists of Rev. Neal L.. Anderson of the Central Presbyterian the First Baptist Church, Rev. J. A. Rice of the Court Street Methodist Church and Rev. J. T. Mangum of the Clayton Street Methodist Church.
 The reading public is familiar with the contest between the Montgomery Trac- tion Company and the Montgomery Street Railway for the Montgomery franchise in the Southern Baseball League. The
 franchise was finally secured by the Trac- ton Company and baseball grounds and | a grand stand were built near Pickett Springs. the new park projected by the Traction Company.
 It is said that one of the arguments used by baseball enthusiasts to have Montgomery represented in the Southern League was that games could be played in Montgomery on Sunday. At any rate eighteen Sunday games are scheduled for the Montgomery grounds during the forthcoming summer months.
 Soon after the Montgomery Traction Company secured the Montgomery fran chise in the Southern League 1t was

The Cold Mayor Low.

Kansas City Journal.
 Despite his pleasant smile and cordial grasp of his hand. Mayor Low of New York is regarded by those who have occa- sion to do much business with him, as a cold fan. He has never shown one spark of temper since elected to the office of Mayor, and this is a case of remarkable would blaze up if he would let it. No matter how loudly he may be calling an official down. he does 1t in a quiet voice and in choice words chosen with aca- demic precision. This characteristic is all inc more marked, as his predecessor, Mayor Van Wyck, was a steel trap bait ed with vttrol.
