Brunswick and Birmingham.

Those who think the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad is a myth do not keep up with the facts. Grading and tracl1laying are going on in a most vigorous manner between Douglas, the county seat of Coffee county, and Ocilla in Irwin county. In April the line will be completed to Ocilla, where it will meet the Triton and North eastern railroad, and the Ocilla and Irwinville railroad both of which the Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad company owns. It will then be line 165 miles long, headed straight for Birmingham. Irwinville lies directly south of Macon, and any advance be- yond that point would soon carry the line either to Americus, or to point abreast of it. So far as is known a determination in respect to Americus has not been made. After Americus is reached the crossing of the Chatta- hoochie becomes the next problem, to be followed by the location of the line in Alabama.
 A mortgage for the sum of S12, ,00O,- 900 has just been filed by the Bruns- wick and Birmingham company, and no doubt President Machen has per fected his plans for reaching Birming- ham, that Mecca of all southern rail- roads. It is race now between the Illinois Central and the Brunswick and Birmingham as to reaching this town, and it may be that they will come in together as parts of one scheme.

A BIG SPECULATION.

From the Pittsburg Times.
 Howard M Allison of Colorado. for mer Pittsburger, is visiting old scenes for a few days He tells an interesting story of the Stratton will which is to be con tested by the son. Stratton left the son $50. .OO0 conditioned on his acceptance of the amount but to be forfeited if any attempt should be made to break the will Colorado fair play does not believe that a man with $12,00O,000 should leave so little to his only child and so much to charity; therefore syndicate has been formed in Denver which has given the son $50000 and raised a fund to contest the will on his behalf. The son is whole from the start, whether he wins or loses, and if he wins the syndicate takes per centage of the gain. The law firm of Wolcott & Vale, the leaders of the Colo rado bar, and of which Senator Wolcott is a member, are retained in the case, and Mr. Allison says it is the prevalent opinion that the son will get at least half the fortune, if not more. The contention is that Stratton was not in a fit condition to make a will, his mental faculties being questioned. And. aside from his fitness, Colorado is reputed to entertain such doubtful if jury c,n be found to sus- tain the old mans unfatherly disposition of his money.

Retires at Ninety-three.

"The Grand Old Man of Oxford unl- versity, England-Dr. sewell, warden of New college who Is ninety-thr, years old-has resigned his office" remarked an educator who recently visited Oxford. He is a venerable figure among the Oxford heads For seventy-flve years, without break, he has been in residence as scholar, fellow and warden of his beloved college which he has seen rise from com parative obscurity to the high position it now holds in the university.
 May we have the college bells chimed in honor of this good news?' the warden was asked on the evening of the relief of Ladysmith.
 Well, l do not know was the old mans reply. I have no recollection, gen tlemen, of such thing having been done after the battle of Waterloo
 50. at least, the story goes. It is inter- esting to think that Dr. Sewell was for some years an intimate friend of Martin Routh, the famous president of Mag dalen, who is said to have seen Dr. John son, in his brown coat anG dishevelled wig pouring over dusty folios in the Bod- leian library"

PORFlR1O DIAZ.

Charles Johnson in North American Re-
 view
 Full of fire and vigor for all his three score and twelve years, Gen. Don Por- firio Diaz can look back with deep con- tent and quiet satisfaction to a long life well spent in building up his fatherland and bringing it to the front among the nations of the earth. The foundations of national well being are threefold-secur- ity, prosperity, culture. For each of the three President Diaz worked with strong will and penetrating intellect first at taining national security through long years of fighting, in campaigns full of TO- mantle daring, wonderful strategy and almost incredible escapes, against native tyrants, foreign invaders and revolution ary rivals; then struggling with equal force, with equal wisdom, for the vic tories of peace; increasing the nation's revenues hvefold, bringing in the whole modern equipment of railroads, factories. telegraps, into what was a wilderness of forest and mountain; and, finally, work ing for the purely intellectual fruits of culture, perfecting the schools compell- ing all the children in the land to share their benefits, and opening up to them the intense life of the great nation to the north, by adding the study of our lang uage to their own.

Two spent summers, that do cling together and choke their art.
 Macbeth.
Ebenezer HiII's Plan.

Ebenezer J. Hill is the man of the hour. He has saved the sacred tariff, the noblest instrument ever devised by a plutocratic party for the purpose of robbing the many and enriching the few. This noble instrument must not be touched, and yet there must be more coal--there must be untaxed coal in the eastern states or a loss of votes to the party of special interests. Ebenezer has found way to do it. Hear Ebenezer:
 The bill is framed on the basis of a national calamity the same as the Chica- go fire, and is copied after legislation. en- acted at that time under which a draw back on imports used in the reconstruc- tion of Chicago for the succeeding twelve months was allowed The bill is in no sense a tariff bill, for 1t does not affect the income nor touch any schedule, but is purely a gratuity on the part of the government for a limited period and until the shortage of supply caused by the late coal strike can be made up. There is no question about the fact that the drawback of the duties would encourage importation, increase the supply and so necessarily tend to reduce the price.
 Ebenezer's familiarity with railroad rebates to trust shippers probably en- abled his great head to fit the rebate plan to the sacred tarim which no one would touch except the sacriligious and lost.
 Long live Ebenezeri He has saved Dingleyism, and prevented a stampede from the republican party. And yet a duty on coal of 67 cents ton is only a minor piece of robbery in that sum of all villanies, the Dingley tariff Why not apply Ebenezerism all along the line? If the Dingley document is so sacred it could not be touched, then let a rebate of 30 per cent, more or less, be voted by congress from end to end. What is good in the case of coal is good in every other item in the sweeping scheme for making million aires, who in turn create trusts. The scheme cannot be counted They are as the sands of the sea. Let us have a rebate all along the line or none at all. If Ebnezer's plan is good in the one case it is good in all. Let us raise the Ebenezer as the best solution of vexed problem.

pr. Newman Halls Lonq Career,

From the London Chronicle.
 The late Dr. Newman Halls first at tempt at outdoor preaching was to company of hop pickers in his native town of Maidstone. His address was short and to the point and so grea1 was his inherent nervousness and diffidenca that he went unattended by any wrlend. One of the first regular sermons as a stu dent was preached on June 2S, 1888, in the town hall of the same place. the occasion being the memorable one of Queen Vic toria's coronation. The text taken for .he sermon was The king of kings and Lord of lords' Newman Hall was one of the very few ministers who preached at both the coronation and diamond jubilee ser vices of the late queen. and on the latter occasion-June 20, 1S97-he again preached from the same text with full heart and a host of remembrances.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.
Henry Watterson.

Col. Henry watterson, editor of the Louisville-Courier Journal spent yester- day in Birmingham. He was on his way from Louisville to the far south, to escape the vigors of winter in the Ohio valley He took a train for Mobile last night and will go to Florida before he re- turns home.
 Colonel Watterson is suffering with lumbago; otherwise he is in the best or health. He was registered at the Morris where he kept to his bed until train time During the afternoon few old friends here called on him and they received cordial greeting. The distinguished editor was in fine humor and to newspaper ae- quaintances talked freely about puphc questions. but declined to be interviewer for print As a rule Colonel Wattersoh is not averse to talking for publication but he said he preferred not to be quoted this time.

The New York Journal.

Representatives of the New York American and Journa1 nave bought the hlcck facing the grand circle at Fifty ninth street and bounded on it's other three sides by Broadway Eighth avenue and Fifty-eighth street." said New ork man at the Hillman. "A 20-story build- ing is to be erected on the site and the American and Journal will move into It as soon as it can be completed, prop- ably by the time the subway is in oper' ation.
 Ever since the publication Of the news of the sale of this plot, known as the Hotel Virginia property, speculation has been rife as to the final disposition or the parcel, one of the most conspicuous in the upper business section of Manhat- tan borough.
 Though comprising an entire block, the plot embraces only about 4700 square feet. or somewhat less than two city lots. Its improvement on a profitable basis was therefore difficult, as the cost of the land was said to be $4OO,0o0 and the available floor space for offices or apartments was too small to yield a good return on the investment.
 For the purpose of morning newspa- per, however, the site is in many respects excellent. The connections with the sub way will be of great value in the distri- button of the newspapers. The Journal is classed by many as yellow" but no matter what its color may be it grows in popularity and it's circulation is stead fly increasing 1 believe"

Musical Attractions.

Creatore's Italian concert band of brass and reed which VIII be heard in Birmingham next week is one of the few fine symphonic organizations that will appear here this season. Oliver Chalifoux attended one of Creatore's concerts In New York last summer and was delighted with the music. He says the conductor not only inspires his men, but he mag netizes the audience.
 The band includes nineteen brass pices. fifteen reeds, two flutes and the usual per cusslon instruments. Its ensemble work is particularly smooth according to the mus ical critics.
 The agent of the Chicago orchestra, Theodore Thomas conductor, usually comes around about this time of the year, but in the absence of Benjamin Gucken- berger, who got up the guarantee fund last year and the year before and the year before that, the orchestra will prob ably fall to book Birmingham this sea- son.

Fire Escapes Dispensed With on the
 Ffteen-Story Building.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 One of the curiosities of the sliy-scraper is the fact that the law which requires fire escapes on a five-story building dis perses with them on a ffteen-story build- ing. Perhaps it realizes that in case of fire no one would ever be able to climb down twenty or twenty-five flights Of giddy little iron ladders without losing his head. At any rate, 1t depends entirely for safety in the sky-scraper on fire proof construction There must be noth- ing about it that can burn. And there is not. Stairways are of marble and iron. There is a little, very little, wood trim about the offices, but even if 1t caught fire it would not feed the flames for long, and would leave the building practically uninjured Of course, wood does go into the construction of the building, but all such wood must in buildings over twelve stories high, ac- cording to law, be e-profed-chemically treated so that 1t will not burn. The sky scraper says to It's tenants: ''There ain't going to be no fire; and if there is, you can get out by the elevator" Elevator shafts are constructed absolutely un- burnable, with not thing about them to feed the flames. The lesson of the New York Life building a few years ago was thoroughly learned, and today the fire proof sky-scraper must really be fire proof.
 When one realizes that New York is at present investing some $70 GOO in these castles in the air, that are even now building, they are enlarging the city by an acreage of one-seventh of it's original area, and that they are daily shooting further and further into the air, one can rot but wonder what the sky-scraper of the next quarter of a century will be. There seems to be no chance of a return to first principles. Such buildings as the Herald building uptown and the new Stock Exchange and the new Chamber of Commerce down town may be very fine architecturally and beautiful in themselves. But, unfortunately, they are not by themselves. To be appreciated they would have to be seen, and to be seen they would have to be set out on plain somewhere-not crowded as they are, into the shadow of the twenty five story air castles which New York's mil lionaires are rearing over New York's n- fnitely precious soil

HOW EARLY SEEDS WERE MADE.

From Outing for January.
 From history we learn that the boys in the time of George III. coasted on sides made of a small board with beef bones as runners but these dropped out of sight when an inventive genius built one out of a barrel stave, for his in- Vention was extensively copied. The barrel slaves were called Jumpers" and ''slippers' and were made of a single barrel stave of moderate width to which was nailed a twelve-inch east-post about amidshps. A piece of barrel head con- stituted the seat. To navigate this craft required no little skill, the revolutions conyolutions performed by the rider while "gittin' the hang of the derned old thing being akin to the antices of a tender foot on a bucking bronco. A more stable and docie jumper was made by fastening two or three slaves side by side, but these were not considered as fast trav- ellers as the single slaves.

Two American Authors.

From Town and Country
 John Burroughs looks like a reformed farmer-a farmer who has reformed, say, some time in his forties, too late to es- cape looking round shouldered, but early enough to acquire studious, scholarly look and a distinct refinement of face and figure that are most charming, combined with his fresh. outdoor complexion. He is of medium height, slender yet compact and vigorous looking. His hair is white as new fallen snow, and he wears long white beard. He has a soft, pleasant voice. and is very quiet, unassumlng and kindly in manner. One would hardly take him for the greatest of all living nature writers and one of the most charming of American essayists unless one were to re- member that all truly great men have divine faculty of not appearing great.
 W. D. Howells impresses one as par excellence the type of the successful bus mess man. His figure is leshy and bulky. His features and expression are rather heavy, and it requires imagination to be- lieve him one of the most exqusitely sen- sitive and intuitive depicters of American character.
