BIRMINGHAM's INDUSTRIES.
Great Activity at Mines and Manufac-
 turing Plants.

turing Plants.
 Birmingham. Oct. 23.-(Special. )- The industrial activity in the Birming- ham district is the subject of consid- erable comment here. The production of pig iron Is healthy and good prices prevail for the product. The coal out put is heavy. notwithstanding the strike of about 7.500 union miners. There is a strong demand for coal. too. The steel industry never before was as prosperous and the future thereof so bright as 1t is now. The railroads in the Birmingham district are beginning to feel an improvement in conditions. The banks in the Birmingham territory report a steady business Building op- erations are not slack. though the sea- son of the year Is at hand for a falling off in this line.
 The manufacturers of pig iron in this district are not anxious to sell iron for delivery before the first of the coming year. There is no anxiety to sell iron at prices which have been in vogue for the past three weeks for delivery even after the first of the coming year. It Is expected by the iron men that the quotations of iron will go up from $1.50 to $2 per ton for the product to be de- livered during the first three months of 1905.
 The Sloss-Sheffeld Steel and Iron Company is reported to have on hand something like 50.000 tons of iron, to be held for SIP per ton. No foundry Three companies manufacturing iron in this district are reported to be out of the market altogether for at least two months to come, having sold ahead all they can manufacture. Announcement Is made that when No, . foundry pig iron gets up to SIP per ton. three fur naceS which do not go into blast until the prices warrant the purchase of raw material from the market will have the torch applied to them.
 There is such a demand for cast iron pipe that plants in the Birmingham dis trict manufacturing this product are behind in their order. The United State Cast Iron Pipe Company will rush the work on it's Panama water works order. This will require heavy melt of iron Other local iron c6nsum- CTS have much business in prospect. The non-union and union mines with temporary contracts have orders on hand which will require a steady oper- ation through the balance of the year There will be a big scramble for coal this winter. the demand always increas- ing as cold weather starts in. Several of the railroads are laying in their winter supplies in anticipation of the usual shortage in the rrod"rf. T'7 settlement of the strike of the union miners would make the indsa ri1i d. tlvitv in the Birnin Gham district great CT than ever before.

New shader of Orange.

suppose this year nearly all the girls with pretensions to dark hair will wear the new shades of orange. They won't realize that 1t takes a face with A good deal of piquancy. of life and ex- pression to rise superior to such a glaring shade as orange. After all, 1t Is the expression which counts quite as much as the complexion. A girl with a good, deal of expression can wear a great many shades from which ordina- rily she would be barred.
 And, speaking of expression, if I were a mother that Is one of the first things I should try to make my daugh- ter cultivate. It can't be cultivated? |? Nonsense! Expression is merely the outward sign of inward individuality. Cultivate individuality in your child, and she will possess an indefinable something in her face distinguishing her from other girls. Perhaps you think that hasn't any value? Stop a moment and think how often you nave heard people say: She never will expression, in her face. There is noth- ing to her"
 And the world Is full of these poor women sheep brought up on rules which they kept too well, on traditions which they observed too closely; housed in nine chances out Of ten from the time they were born until they had attained their majority with moth CTS of such dominant personality that they crushed out all the original ideas. the first feeble, youthful hopes and thoughts and crude aspirations in them. And. the first being killed. no others came.
 don't think there is a much great CT wrong than to keep a child like a plant forever in the shadow of your personality until you have stunted its growth and deprived it's foliage and flowers of the strong tints they should have.

CARNEGIE REBUKEs ROOSEVELT.
Peace Conference should not be Called
 at This Time.

New York. Oct 2S.-The right Hon. John Moreley the English statesman and author. arrived today on the steam CT Celtic During his stay in this city, MT. Moreley will be Andrew Carnegies s guest.
 When Mir. Carnegie who also arrived on the Celtic. was informed that mon ey Is needed to maintain the Peace Palace at Tho Hague. he said:
 T have nothing to do with that. There is convention among the pow CTS to maintain it. and they should not find any trouble in raising $100. .OOo"
 On the question of calling a peace conference, he said: Let us not call a peace conference, when two nations are struggling in awful battle. Such an action of President Roosevelt would be a great eror. and would not be looked upon with favor in Europe"
 Turning to MT. Morley, he asked:
 Don't you agree with me. Mir. Nor ley, that Mir. Roosevelt has taken q strong hold on the imagination of the English reports?"
 Yes, Mir Carnegie" was the reply T agree with you"

Women and Dinners.

Certainly we women are fonder of eating than we are suspected of be- ing. Here is an article hv q London society woman in whlcN ''e says that a dinner in behalf of ch . Is far and away the best mode of sing money. It Is certain that people don't want to listen to concerts of the usual char ity" type and they would prefer that almost anything should happen than to be roped into a fair, where the amount they are to be made to spend is as doubtful as the amusement they are likely to get out of the perform ance. But name a fair price for a dinner. make 1t a good dinner. with a few good names to head the list. and you will have no difficulty in selling your tickets. The most blase men even, those who would never by any accident be seen inside tea or fair. will buy tickets and bring some one else along--also on a ticket.
 Try the dinner. those of you who are short of church funds. and see if you don't agree with the English wo- man.

blond and brunette alike. providing they have in their cheeks the pink tint which comes of perfect health. It is pity that American women do not follow more the custom of the French and wear greater numbers of these .pearly tinted costumes. A gray cos- tune with gray hat and bow of white tulle under the chin cannot be surpassed at any time os the year for dressy street wear. Deep red is al- most universally becoming alike to blond and brunette, but the light, bright shade ought to be banished from polite society except in touches.

COTTON.

New York, October ls, 1904. I am repeatedly asked why l am bearish on cotton The following.
 CD That the worlds visible supply of American cotton at the end of the first six full weeks of the season IS the largest on record at that time for the past Ave years. and actually the Iarg- est ever carried In the history of the trade at this time of the year at over nine cents per pound.
 tD That the stocks of cotton at the United States ports and interior towns at the end of the sixth full week or the season are the largest of the past i've years, with one exception, when they that they are actually the largest st0ci<s ever carried in the history Of the. trade at this time of the year at above mine cents per pound.
 (3) That until the issuance of the Government crop estimate on the Sd of December the world will continue to believe that the crop of 1e04-6 Is at least II,30o,e00 bales, and may largely I4) That as compared with the quan- tity of cotton that has come into sight during the first six full weeks of the season. trade tai<ings are relatively the only 39.2 per, cent. as against 4s,z per cent last year, and 55J6 per cent In the year of record csnsunaption.
 (5) That, therefore, there is no indi-
 
 will exceed, if 1t reaches, the previous maximum which was attained h the season of 1Seo-1s00 upon the baais of mn average price of 3-4 cents, and was 10,99S.0o0 bales.
 (sl That spinners' takings during the first six full weeks of the season, the average of price being above ten cents a pound and the crop the earliest and most abundant on record.

 and are D6.000 bales less than in 1899, when the consumption was 1,eD5, GOO bales
 These figures submit do not point to any unexampled demand for cotton. and assuming crop of II ,3O0, ,00O, and the maintenance of present prices the AS- cumulation of a large and burdensome surplus before the season shall have much further progi essed seems inevi- table.
 Proof of the above statements can be had in the following figures: q

Oct. 23.-Within half an hour after the benediction had been pronounced at the close of ser vices in the Little church near Mill Creek on the Big Sandy river today. one man who had listened to the sermon was shot dead and another was fatally stabbed. The tragedy was the result of political argument in which half a dozen members of the congregation en . geged after leaving the church. The dead

CHINA IS ARMING.

Situation Now Worse than Prior to
 "BoxeR'' Outbreak.
 London, Oct. 3.-Bennett Bur1eigh. after careful inquiry into the situation. cables The Daily Telegraph from Shanghai. that the political outlook in China Is worse now than prior to the Boxer" outbreak in 1900.
 Widespread operations of secret so- cieties. he says. show a dangerous re- crudescenca of anti-foreign feeling. Drilling of large bodies of well equip ped troops is progressing night and day in many districts in Southern and mid-northern provinces and the Chi nese authorities are buying wholesale all kinds of military equipment and stores.

 sic box. the very strike of their drawing.
 I have heard such girls. some Of them with fine voices-for that Is me- chanical--sing, and 1t sounded like the tinkliag of music box-without ex- -pression. The grandest works of the greatest composers sung by such wo- men would not move even child to emotion.
 I have seen, most pitiful of all. girls of such description actually in the struggle for stage success. girls with fine figures, with every feature per- feet. and when they faced their audi ence they stood or walked or talked ex- actIy as they were taught. and that was all. The audiences sat calm and unmoved, without having any more emotion than the actress.
 I am ready to say that in nine cases out of ten the soulless; expressionless girl was the fault of some mother. some early cramping, narrowing en- vironment, not necessarily a cruel one. It may have been a very loving home: many of the most loving homes are the most narrowing.
 More's the pity!
