It Is rumored that steps are being taken looking to a reorganization of the Southern pig iron manufacturers asso- citation. practically on the same lines as existed before the association went to pieces q couple of months since. It Is believed that the furnacemen in the Southern territory will get together again and enter into an agreement to preserve their own welfare. At present furnace men are without any agreement and have been selling iron at any and all pricas that could be obtained. As. a conse- quence, there has been considera bfe slashing of rates and some. losses may follow If such an association is formed, no public statements will be made as to the objects or intentions, because of the antitrust laws The Alabama iron man. ufacturers are cutting considerable havoc in the iron nartS of the entire United States with their low-priced Iron.

The News Of Birmingham

Rirminxham, Dec. I.--(speciai. -con- gressman John |. Burnett of the Seventh Alabama District,A is in Birmingham, be- ing an attorney in a damage suit being heard In the City Court Talking of na- tional politics. Mr. Burnett said today:
 .I believe that either Mir. German or Judge Parker win receive the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. with the chances in favor of Judge Parker. The name of Mir. Hearst Is not heard much. While it was believed q short while since that George B. Mcclellan would be a strong possibility becatsc of his great victory in New York city. hiz own delegation does not appear to be talk ing of him much. I firmly believe that the Democrats have a chance Of electin6 their candidate if they will get together and make Q combined effort.
 .'The Republicans are in row, but I believe that President Roosevelt Is going to be renominated. Senator Hanna's vic- tory in Ohio makes him strong possi- name the candidate. but President Roose- welt is going to have many delegations right on the organization of the c0nven- ton, hence will get the nomination.
 T do not approve of the methods pur- sued in getting the Panama Canal, but that we have it we must take 1t. I am fin favor of canal. and believe that 1t AS D 8V40 ttttn8t hVt s4ktS SGEtiOih VI tAtC country in particular. The methods of. getting this canal were all wrong, but we must now keep 1t rather than take chances on getting it otherwise.
 T believe that the Democrats of Ala bama should make all their nominations through the primary plan, except possi- ply the delegates to the National Con- vention. which could be selected in a convention. The people should be given the opportunity of naming their candi- dates.s'
 Congressman Burnett does not expect any opposition in his district either for the nomination or for his election. The district will probably take no action look ing to making nominations until after the State Committee has met, between the list and and 18th of January, and has suggested 8 general plan for all coun- ties in the State. The plan suggested by the State Committee will likely be adopt cd in the Seventh District.

vineIand Famlly's Many Misfortunes.

The extraordinary ill-fortune that
has followed William Cromwell and
his family of vineland, N. j., for the
past several months has aroused the
sympathy of the entire community.
Monday the climax was apparently
reached when Mrs. Cromwell fell
down stairs and injured her spine so
badly that Mr.. Cromwell had to give
up bis position to be with his family.
First Mrs. Cromwell spent nine weeks
in Philadelphia hospital; then SON,
Melvin, had his collarbone broken at
school. Mr., Cromwell was then bit
ten by mad dog, which sent him to
the Pasteur Institute at Baltimore for
several weeks. Next a daughter,
Mabel, had an arm broken at school,
and son. Oliver, received fracture
of the skull by being struck by train
on the Central Railroad. lie had just

FORGOT THE TAILoR's NAME.
Unfortunate Experience Of Youth In
New York

New York.
"It is not very often that lailors
collect cash for clothes they are un-
able to deliver" said an uptown mer-
chant. ''but a singular instance of that
sort came under my observation last
week. A young man from the West
was in here wanting to know whether
he had left $50 on deposit for clothes.
He seemed very much disappointed
when told him he had not.
1T appeared from his story that he
wanted about $500 worth of clothes in
a hurry-two or three business suits,
dress clothes, and some trousers. He
saw some patterns that he liked in a
shop window, was measured, and COM
piled with the request for $50 on de-
post without a word. He got re-
ceipt for II, of course, and then went
down town to see some fellows he
knew from the West. They gave him
rousing good time all day, and took
him to the theater at night.
When he looked for that receipt in
the morning he couldn't find IL. Then
he started from the hotel, thinking it
would be an easy thing to find the
tailor from whom he ordered the
clothes. But he couldn't remember
the name of the firm, nor was he sure
he could recognize the shop unless the
same goods were in the window. The
chances are ten to one they would not
be, or, at least, not arranged in the
same manner. About all that youth
knew was that the shop was on one Of
the cross streets somewhere between
Forty-second and Twenty-third, but he
didn't remember whether 1t was East
or West. He trotted around for two
or three hours telling other tailors
the same story he told US, but he
hadn't found his clothes when we babe
him goodbye. That is the funniest
case of forgetfulness have run across
in my experience in this business. -

RIDING A euckINo STEER.

"A bucking broncho," said the re-
tired cowboy, "is generally considered
the hardest proposition to ride In this

"Out In the COW country they have

the Wild West shows has got hold

do their congresses OF rough riders

"You can cinch a horse up until
there is little possibility of the sad
dies slipping, but it can not be done
on steer, for the simple reason that
the skin is so much looser and there
is no place in which to gather up lost
motion. The horse has eighteen lids
and steer but thirteen.

the shoulder. When the steer bucks,
as he generally does when he feels
a saddle on his back, there is rolling
motion that is for all the world like
that of a vessel at sea. The steer
pitches with head and tail movement,
while a horse stops his side swings
before they range far.
"The steer riding fad had its start
down in Texas, where the animals are
wild enough TO suit even the most
exacting cowpuncher, and 1t is now
being introduced further North. A
puncher's playtime is often long
enough TO give him chance for ex-
periments, and some Of the more skill
full have got 1t down to a fine point.
