The NolseIess Court.

From Everybody's Magazine for June.
 Ms. J. F. Hutchinson, an electrical engineer of New York city, has in- vented a "noiseless court" The de- tails hay not been published, but the device Ais such that when you are in side that court, you hear nothing until a telephone receiver Is put to your ear Very long distance conversations will be audible within the charmed precincts of that palace of silence A great idea should beget a greater. Telephone bells themselves are dis turbers of the peace. Those of us who are unluclSy enough to exist in cities are racked with many intolerable sounds. Chicago and New York each noisier ,nan the other, and both receiving most of the hubbub of the world-yearn for these mute habita- tions. Build soundless baths where one may plunge in silnece! Build apartment houses that are really noiseless courts, and, compared with you, Rockefeller will be pauper.

EASEMENTS ARE AFTER THE COLLEGE People Are Interested in Meet

 Nearly Completed.
NEW OVENS TO BE ERECTED

Bessemer, May Especial )-rhe peo- pie of Bessemer are looking forward anx- lousiy to the meeting of the Alabama synod of the Presyterians that will meet in Birmingham on June 8 for the purpose of deciding the location of the synodical college.
 Ii is probable that a meeting of the citizens will be called one day next week to arouse enthusiasm ton the subject. Since the synod met in the city over il year ago and launched the movement to establish q college for the Presbyter- ians of the state, the Bessemerites have been working hard 10 secure the location of the institution. Mass meetings have been held and most of the people of the city have subscribed iberally 10 the fund to get the college.
 At the meeting of the board of trus- tees to receive bids for the institution the Marvel City entered one of the most generous bids offered by any city.
 Bessemer rivals in the contest Tor the college are Montgomery, Florence, Anns- ton and Jasper. During the last week or two Jasper has entered actively into the race and promises 10 make a strenuous fight for thee ollege. Of all the cities In the contest Bessemer considers Annston it's most formidable opponent.
 It is argued by the citizens of Besse- mer that this city Is the logical place for the location of the college. 1t has lar ger local field to draw from and it's rail- road facilities are not surpassed by any other city in the state. All the people of Bessemer are interested in the college and will give it hearty support fl this city secures the institution.
 To Erect New Ovens.
 The Woodward Iron company will shortly commence the erction of 400 ad- oitional coke ovens This will practically double the capacity of the coke ovens. The company is now constructing new iron furnace which will probably be blown in in few weeks.
 The bids will be opened in day or two and the work of construction will begin at once. The total amount that the company will expend on the new ovens will be about $1O0.000.
 The work on the new furnace Is pro- gressing rapidly. The continued dry weather has been favorable and the fur mace will be one of the largest in the state and will have a daily capacity of about 300 tons of pig iron

King Christians Plans.

' King Christian Is to spend the month of June at the Duke of Cumberlands S country seat on the Traun See, and the alteration in the date of his granddaugh- ter's wedding from the beginning of July to June may lead to the giving up of his contemplated visit to Finland If the ceremony had taken place at the time originally proposed Rink Christian could have travelled back to London from Gmunden with the queen and the Prince of Wales; but now he will stay on after the marriage and complete the usual term of his visit. The King of Denmark's health is always much benefited by his stay on the Traun See, as the bracing air is highly recuperative after the cure at Wiesbaden. which is a hot relaxing place. King Christian is to leave Copen- hagen about Friday, the 18th. for Wies- baden, and on the night of Saturday June 4 he will leave that place for Gmunden, and will probably join the queen and the Prince of Wales at Frank fort, and travel thence with them.

Should Women Emierate7

The editor of London Opinion has asked a question in that journal which is at tracting considerable attention, to-wit: Should Women Emigrate?" Woman is the emigrant-in-chief Her main object before marriage is to leave home; ana it has been observed that after marriage her inclination to be away from home diminishes little, if at all. To discuss the matter seriously, however, it seems to be generally ignored that whilst educa- ton but occasionally raises the average boy above the position in which he was born, the average girl, through knowing how to read and write and to speak cor rectly, is frequently able to obtain em- ployment of a superior kind to that which she would have undertaken in or dinary circumstances. That being the case, a woman who is moderately edn- cated. and can procure clothing which will distinguish her from those of the ser want class. has only to emgrate to all most certainly obtain a husband of a far better position than her own Besides, the supply of women in the matrimonial markets at home is much in excess of the demand, and it is obvious that to marry well the ordinary woman should go to the colonies. where competition in this direction Is Hess severe. This principle is so thoroughly understood by the experi enced mothers In society that many of them now take their daughters on a visit to South Africa or to other colonies of protectorates, where a well dressed woman of the world is comparatively un- common, and there they frequently at tract the attention of men who have secured or are fast acquiring fortunes.
 In these days, when every form of in- dustry possesses its own newspaper 1t is singular that no enterprising journalist has started a Home and Colonial Matri- monial Register" That newspaper would supply a mueh-felt want, especially at a time when thousands of fortunes are made almost at the wave of a wand In the "Home and Colonial Matrimonial Register would be given the latest par ticulars of every unmarried man who either has fortune. or is prospering suf- ficiently to make 1t advisable to watch his career. Anxious mothers by the thousands would study the columns of such a journal as they have never studied those of any other. and hundreds of thousands of unmarried women would subscribe to 1t without fail
 The main obstacle to the emigration of most women is that they still need an ex- cuse for straying far from home Many woman has become a nurse because in that character she can travel more freely than otherwise without having to explain the cause of her movements In these days when women has achieved independ- ence. however. what better excuse can she have than that she is travelling to see the word-and to let the world see her, which is altogether more important?

The store that achieves success is that store counting the business a sci ence. Every devise for simplifying work and minimizing cost of selling, is adopted--not to make more profit but to make the selling price to you less: The profit comes in the volume of business so done.
 The successful store further applies the science of economics to retailing by

importing its own foreign goods
 Upon the same principle it maintains New York purchasing office the year round, so as to be on the spot, for all special chances to buy high grade merchandise at any thing less than regular wholesale prices. Contrast these methods of the. successful store, with the struggling one that is obliged to buy from jobbers (because it buys so liule) and so lacks choice of styles and qualities, because the jobber is really nothing more than a middle man who buys, as does the successful store, from the manufacturers, Add to this great handicap, the jobbers profit which the small store must add to his price to you and you have the cause of the small store sayng small This great store would be the small store fourteen years ago.
 instead of mastering the science of merchandising, it had bought from iobbers andmddemen No store can become great that limits it's ability by buying from obbers mat ter how big the obber may be- for the successful store buys only manufacturers and is able to supply better styles and qualities and always at less prices

Here's a Chance for Dubois.

A Chicago dispatch of Oct. 9th
stated that John Alexander Dowie,
leader of the Zionites, preached to
an audience of his people, 5000
strong, and during the sermon he
assailed the democratic party and
Parker, it's president lal nominee. He
instructed his thousands of follow
ers to vote for Roosevelt as the
.sgrandest man of the hour The
dispatch adds that all the Zionites
vociferously promised to vote as
Dowie requested.
What an awful condition Dowie's
followers are in, suffering as they
are, from ecclesiastical domination.
What a power for good Dubois,
Flenner and He1tfeld would be
among the Zionites, freeing them
from this awful curse. Better send
these purists and liberty-loving pat
riots back to Chicago. We are sure
that if their mission was not SO
highly successful as their lofty con-
ceptions of civic virtue might sug-
gest, there would be one state great
ly benefited by their pilgrimage,
and just to add interest in the move
ment, we would suggest that @. III.
Jackson. ST Dopnelly. T,afe Pence
Charlie Arney, Rev. Clay and Side

Railroad Signal FlashIight.

A new fiashlight signal, the most
modern safety device adopted by
railroads, has been placed on trial
by the Denver q Rio Grande road.
The new signal is an electric head
light under the control of the en-
glneer. The light can be flooded
across the sky, giving warning of
the trains approach, the object be-
ing to signal from one engine to an
other while running on curves or in
narrow canons. Where trains can
not be seen for a safe distance an
engineer can flash a warning i'm the
sky which can be seen for miles. It

ofltHe most remarkable vehicles for

and the car will be similar to those
used on 1nterurban electric lines
with the advantage that this car
does not require central power
or the establishment of electric lines

Will have capacity of 60 passen-
gers, with baggage, and will make
90 miles an hour. It will do awav
