Birmingham Has It.


From the Columbiana Sentinel.
Birmingham is talking of another hotel.
It's just possible that progressive city
has hotelmania. This is not an official
diagnosis, however.

be of aid to him. He is business to the
core. He has controlled New York re-

has used his political pull for business
advantage. He Is the controlling spirit

his company. Other government matters

business for him. He knows the virtue

HURRYING AWAY TO

Russian Conscripts Are DESERVING by
Hundreds and Emigratlng
to America

LONDON, June 25.-Three hundred
Russian conscripts, who have no desire
to join the Cars forces in the field,
have arrived here on their way to
America.
From one of the Russians it was
learned that there is regular trade in
human smuggling on the frontier lines
of Russia and that for the sum of SIS
foreign agents undertake to bring these
runaways across, providing them with
clothes in exchange for the Russian
uniforms, and keeping them out of the
clutches of the Russian police until
they are able to get a safe distance
from the border. Death is the quick
penalty If any Russian is caught
escaping.
One of the Russians said that hun
dreds of men were hanged in Warsaw
for attempted desertion.

Gus high-class real estate agents in
London. The ducal couple have, OF
course, been hunting around for some
time for an available spot in the me-
tropolis on which to buil6 an i'm
pressive town house. 1t seems, how
ever, that the statement attributed by
some American papers to Mrs. Goelet
that cost would not stop her from
providing a residence for her daughter
equal to Buckingham Palace was
somewhat exaggerated in the cabling
process. Mrs. Goelet will have nothing
to do with the erection of the man

Duchess of Roxburghe and her hus-
band are capable of driving a hard
bargain. The agents of the Duke of
Westminster and Lord Cadogan have
been in communication with the Duke
in relation to sites in Mayfair and
Belgravia, the two most fashionable
quarters in London's West End, but
the prices quoted were in all cases con-

last of the old-time brigands, Nicholas
MORO, who used to rob in the pictur-

the age of S5 in prison here, where he
was serving a sentence of eleven years
for attempted murder. He had been
notorious since the times of the Bour-
bons of Naples.
When clad in velvet uniform and rid
ing his favorite horse he long had been
both the terror and the idol of the ru-
raj population of the Puglie, where his
generosity and attractive manner long
shielded him from the police. He was
caught at last after stubborn resist
ance and sentenced to prison.
When his time expired he returned to
his native Cerignola. where the popu-
lace gave him an enthusiastic welcome.

PARIS, June 25.-Fashions in dogs
change about as often as fashions in
gowns. The prevailing style in canine
pets, since the recent bench show, is
the Chow Chow-not named for a
pickle, but because it comes from
China. The dog is as shaggy as a Spitz
and looks something like one-with
straight ears and black eyes. 1t also
bears a certain resemblance to the
Loulou and Griffon, both of which
breeds are to the women of the elegant
world now like last years birds nests.
