a Southern Poet.

ROBERT Loveman is one of our southern
poets who has won an enyiable reputation
in the world of letters" said Georgian
at the Hillman yesterday Mr.. Love-
man possesses a style peculiarly his own
There is a sprightness and optimism about
his verses that add much to their poetic
beauty and has made them popular with
magazine editors as well as with the
reading public. The dainty charm of
many of Loveman's lines appeals strong
ly to all lovers of nature. Mr.. Loveman
is at his best when describing the ad-
ventures of Sir Bumblebee and Lady
Butterfly, or the soft conversation car
ried on among the flowers.
MIR. Loveman calls Albany his home
although he spends large part OF his
time in New York, where he is well
known figure in the literary life of the
metropolis. He is an alumnus of thu
University of Alabama, however, and is
we'll known in the state. Mr.. Loveman' $
rise in the literary world has been rapid
and uninterrupted. Although still quite
a yuong man, he occupies an enviable
place"

THE DEMON OF WAR.

BY Lord Byron.
Hark! heard you not those hoofs OF dread
full note?. ~.
Sounds not the clang Of conflict on tho
heath?
Saw We not whom the reeking sabre
smote;
Nor saved your brethren ere they sank
Tyrants and tyrants sIaes !--the fires of
death.
The balefires flash on high; from rock
to rock
Each volley tells that thousands cease
to breathe;
Death rides upon the sulphury Siroc,
Red Battle stamps his foot. and nations
feel the shock.
Lol where the giant on the mountain
stands,
His blood-red tresses deepening in the
sun,
with death shot glowing in his fiery
hands,
And eye that scorcheth all it giares upon
Restless 1t rolls, now fixed, and now
anon
Flashing afar-snd at his iron feet
Destruction covers to mark what deeds
are done.
For on this morn three potent nations
meet.
To shed before his shrine the blood he
deems most sweet. ~ =

Approach to the Theatre.

Il would be glad to see the row of little
shacks just east Of the Jefferson theatre
replaced by one or two nice buildings
said a merchant yesterday "rhe odor OF
fish and other greasy cooking greets the
nostrils intolerably when passing down
that side of Second avenue to the theatre
1.-THE city council has considered the
matter, and 1 hope soon to see these
shops disappear. BY all means the APP
proach to a theatre should be inviting,
since many women and children are con-
tinually passing. 1t is indeed great pity
that there are so many unsightly httle
shops in Birmingham to detract from tho
appearance of our more imposing struc-
lures but it is, I suppose, result OF TOO
rapid development in the boom days
when a storeroom was more desirable and
profitable than a handsome structure.

billion-dollar section, but it Is well
started toward the two billion-dollar
line, which 1t will soon cross. for adds
the Providence Journal, the best of it
all is that this new agricultural devel-
opment in the south is practically sure
to be permanent and doubtless will be
carried still further as a portion of the
profits of each year are put into cap
ital for the next year. So we may
count upon the section as solid foun-
dalton on which the nation may fall
back in times of depression elsewhere.
1t increases, SO to say, the area of bed
rock, which has heretofore been found
chiefly in the west, on which more
than on Wall street activities and
more than on ever the manufacturing
industries the enduring pecuniary well
fare of the country finally rests"

Pressing clubs.

1.-The Pressing club is boon for young
men of today, and is also appreciated by
older men who desire to keep their clothes
presentabie at a small cost, said a.
tailor. Il do not know who first origi-
mated these organizations in America, but
he had a good eye for business and his
foresight is proven by the fact that there
are thousands of clubs in every part of
the union and each one is making money
It is generally believed that pressing
clubs were first started by tailors who
desired to exc out their profits by a BUSH
ness that entailed little additional ex-
pense or labor. But nowadays all press
ing clubs are not run by tailors, although
all tailoring houses conduct them as a
part Of the regular business.
by the payment of 81 month young
fellow can have two suits cleaned and
pressed every week for the trouble of
laying them out where they can be found
by the delivery boy This is unusually
all the average youth needs in order to
appear neatly clothed. The popularity
of the pressing club is increasing every
day. 1t appeals to the principles of
economy inculcated in young men before
they put on long trousers and works so
smoothly that none can but admire the
plan. The membership of pressing clubs

fact that they are paying propositions

The HiiIman Hospital.

The board of lady managers of the
Hillman hospital have decided that in
event the board of revenue of Jeffer-
son county and the mayor and board
of aldermen of Birmingham will make
an appropriation sufficient to sustain
the hospital that the Hillman hospital
in future will be run on strictly char
ity basis. This timely action on the
part of the good women, who have la
bored for more than dozen years in
building a great hospital, will address
itself with favor to every fair-minded
man in Birmingham. The proposition
that now presents itself to the people
of this prosperous city and county is,
will they come to the rescue and sup
port an institution where the poor can
be cared for without cost, or will they
allow the doors of the hospital to be
closed? At the mass meeting held
Sunday afternoon in the First Metho-
dist church, temporary relief for the
support of the hospital was arranged
by voluntary subscriptions on the part
of many of our generous citizens. and
the question now is, can't this relief
be made permanent.
The Age-Herald has an abiding faith
in the success of any movement that
appeals to the good sense and gener-
osity of the people of this city and
county. The spirit that now speaks
out for the support and maintenance
in our community of charity hospital
is the same spirit that supports our
schools and churches. 1t is this spirit
that applauds that which is right in
society and condemns that which is
wrong. 1t is after all but a moral
question, which, when awakened, will
see that the poor are cared for, that
our churches and schools are support
ed and that our laws are enforced.
The AgeHerald hopes that when
the committee of citizens call on the
board of revenue Monday for an ap-
preparation of six hundred dollars per
month for the maintenance of strict
ly charity hospital, that the board will
promptly grant the request
The Hillman hospital must not close
its doors for lack of encouragement on
the part of the people of Birmingham
and Jefferson county.

Warrina Railroad Millions

Just as the Birmingham district
originates more freight than Atlanta,
Nashville and Memphis combined,
with New Orleans thrown in for good
measure, so the Pittsburg district Is
the source of more tonnage than New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago can
start all together The Pittsburg dis
trict is good for 75,000,OOO tons of
freight, and the Birmingham district
handles 20,00O,00O tons year. All
railroads are free to come to this dis
trict, but the Pennsylvania railroad
has. up to the present time, held
monopoly of the Pittsburg district ex-
cept when it's rivers rose high enough
to float barges, which is an uncertain
condition. In some years they effer
no little competition, but IN most years
the Pennsylvania railroad has enjoyed
a monopoly nine months out of the
twelve
The Gou1ds, backed presumably by
the Rockefellers, have been engaged
a long time in an attempt to butt into
Pittsburg, and by buying the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad and by building
bridge across the Monongahela they
have at last succeeded in entering the
forbidden city. The Pennsylvania
company fought in the courts and out
of it, but at last the uld-Rockefeler
millions have triumphed. The aggre-
gate entrance fees were, 1t is said,
$25, 100000, but the shippers will in
the long run foot the bill. A very ex-
pensive line was built, sixty miles
long, from Jewett on the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad, to Pittsburg.
The bridge cost large sum, and ter
minal property alone was purchased to
the value of $5,000.000

Teller millions would have been In

the last two years had not implanted
in the breasts Of the Pittsburg mer-
chants desire for Gould road, or
rather for anything that would give
them additional transportation facli-
ties. Up to the time of the freight
congestion the Pittsburg merchants
and manufacturers stood Loyalty by
the Pennsylvania company, but the
blockade transferred the sentiment of
the business interests of Pittsburg to
the new corners.

Chances in the Far East.

Three changes are taking place at
the seat of war The Japanese are
steadily carrying out their plan of
campaign, which involves the occupa
ton of Korea and the inyestiture Of
Port Arthur and Dalny, if not Neu-
Chwang and Mukden. They are pour
ing troops into ports from which they
can in the near future strike boldly
and swiftly. The military movement
is masked, but it is known to be on
large scale, probably approaching 200.
600 men. But no one knows whether
the blow they will deliver will be on
the Yalu, or at NeuChwang, or else
where Japan controls the water and
she is utilizing the present waiting pc.
Rod in putting her armies where she
can use them to best advantage.
The reported retreat of Alexieff to
Hardin is probably true. 1t should be
remembered that this former adven-
turer is not either sea or a land
commander in the Far East. He is
the Russian viceroy. He is the cars
proxy at the distant end of the vast
empire, and the viceregal headquarters
may properly be placed at Hardin. No
doubt the viceroy will be found there
hereafter. Gen. Joseph Wheeler says
this means that Port Arthur is to be
abandoned. He forgets, however, that
Alexieff is in no sense field COM
mander. He is the viceroy. Doubtless
Port Arthur will fall, but Alexieff's
retreat does not mean that it is to be
abandoned before battle or series
of battles is fought.
It is announced that Minister of War
Kuropatkin is tosbe sent to the Far
East to become commander-in-c chief Of
the army, and that Vice Admiral Max
aroff is to command the fleets, with
Rear Admiral lessen under him at
yladivostock. These changes do not
mean that the viceroy has been super
coded. They do not mean that he
stands discredited. More than any
other Russian he is responsible for
the bringing on of the war. and he is
blamed for the conduct of Russian af-
fairs up to the present time, but there
is no evidence that he has been turned
down by the bureaucrats in ST. Peters
burg.

What the South Did.

at is" frankly says the Providence
journal, southern agriculture as a
whole that has allowed the country
to fall back on that almost despsed
section solidly and safely" This adj
mission is quite the fashion now.
There is, in fact, no way to get around
the figures, and the northern newspa-
pers, even of republican proclvities,
like the Providence Journal, are frank
ly saying that the south saved us as
a people.
Southern products prevented an adj
verse balance of trade, and an adverse
balance, or even a close approach to
one, would have made money tight
and scarce and plunged the country,
first into a panic, and then into long
financial depression-into hard times
in other words.
1t is now conceded, as the fuller
tdDleS VI SApuItS anu Imports are pre-
scented, that the steady and strong
progress in southern agriculture is the
country's best hope. AS the Provi-
dence Journal says, last years results
in the south brings the section out
clearly in the new light that illumnes
its future and brightens the whole
country's hopes"
The Journal goes on to show that
fine and all-important as the cotton
crop grown last year was, 1t was but
forty per cent Of the products Of the
south; that the south grew six hun
dred and forty million bushels of corn,
and 80 on to the end of the list Put
ting the value Of the cotton raised last
year at $625OOO 900. the Journal shows
that the aggregate value of all crops
grown in the south last year was
31.615, 000. 900! This is not simply a

WEIRD STORY
Of What Happens When Shooting Cat
In 35 Below Zero.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Oscar Willie of lie Sueur, Mimi, met
with a most remarkable accident this
morning that very nearly cost him his
life. With his rife in hand he was at
tempting to get within range of cat he
desired to shoot, when the animal ran up
into the framework supporting the water
tank
Standing directly beneath the cat willie
shot straight up at it, carelessy forget
ting the fact that the tank was within
range.
The bullet killed the cat and pierced the
bottom of the tank. and in an instant the
water, gushing out, surrounded Mr..
Willie with complete shower bath in a
temperature of 50 degrees below zero.
Instantly his overshoes froze to the
stone foundation on which he was stand
ing. and, STOPPING to unbuckle them. he
was chained by the spray, freezing in the
terrible cold as fast as it fell into a help
less statue of ice, stiff and immovable as
a stone. Only by his STOPPING posture,
which kept his face free from the ice,
was he saved from suffocation.
Soon the flow OF the water was stopped
by the sediment in the tank flowing into
the bullet hole, and little son of Mr..
Willie, who had seen the whole affair ran
for assistance. 1t was necessary to loosen
the unfortunate mans feet with chisels.
and when he had been carried into the
house by three strong men the ice had
to be broken from him with clubs.
He was badly frightened by the expert
ence, but otherwise unframed.
The body of the cat was found frozen to
his back

Tonsilitis.

"There Is almost an epidemic Of tom
silitis in Birmingham, l understand,
said drug clerk. "A physician told ME
today that he has never seen so many
suffers from this very disagreeable all
ment as there are just at this time. The
severe weather which we have expert
eneed the entire winter causes the pre-
valence of the disease.
''ronsilitis is rather serious disease
and the sufferer should be very careful.
Quite often 1t goes into pneumonia.
"Tonsiitis is the inflammation OF the
glandular organs situated in the throat
at the sides of the fauces. Although 1t is
very much like dyphtheria, 1T is not so
serious"

thur and Dalny is comparatively warm,
and ice is not factor at either place.
With the viceroy seated amid the
wheat fields at Hardin, watching the
long line of communication, and with
capable men in the field and fleet,
Russia seems to be pulling herself to-
gether for a severe struggle. 1t may
not however, be a long one. The
Japanese may overwhelm Korea and
Manchuria, including Port Arthur and
Dalny, leaving the Russians firmly en-
trenched at Hardin, six hundred miles
away. What then? Will it be media
ton and peace?
