themselves time and again by bravery
When the Spanish-American war was
declared In 1893 Company II of the first
regiment was organized and Thomas 7.
Huey, the present mayor of essemer. was
elected captain. The company was mus
tered out of service after the conclusion
of the war. Company II of the Third Ala
bama regiment is still a fiourishing or
ganization in this city.
The youngest days of early Bessemer
were not without turbulent and varied
happenings. When the sale of lots took
place pools of water stood on the present
site of the business center of the town.
In order that walking could be done
with some comfort plank walks were
built In the main streets. The walks
were necessarily narrow and this was the
ri that caused many fisticuffs. One
Z edesterian would accuse the other of
showing him off in the water and fight
would then ensue, generally ending in
both participants falling off into the wa
ter which nearly always chilled their
ardor.
The only opposition that early Besse-
mer received at the hands OF its neigh
boring towns was from Lipscomb. Ac-
cording to the charter granted TO the
Jonesboro Baptist church, an institution
much older than Bessemer. by the leg
islature, no whiskey could be sold with
in radius of three miles of the church
The site Of Lipscomb being just three
miles from the edifice several saloons
were opened at that point which were
quickly surrounded by other business
houses. The settlement that sprang up in
a few days was called "whiskeytown".
When the legislature met Bessemer was
granted a charter giving it the right to
license saloons, and ''whiskeytown" dis
appeared almost as quickly as it had
appeared.
Many Fraternal Orders.
While Bessemer. strictly speaking is
an industrial town 1t is a place where
all kinds of faternal orders prevail. AL
most every secret society is located In
this city and in some instances one order
has as many as two lodges. The estimat-
ed membership of the Bessemer lodges is
1,5Oo.
The religious sects in this city are also
predominant, there being almost every
kind of denomination that obtains in
Alabama represented by strong and in
fiuential congregations in this city.
The Bessemer people are hospitable.
They know howe to entertain. When the
Alabama Press Association met in Besse-
mer last June the people of this city en-
tertained the editors in a royal and ele-
giant fashion. The reception rendered
the members of the association was
warm and hearty one. The editors were
made to feel that that they were welcome
to the very best that Bessemer and her
people could afford They were guests in
every sense of the word and were not al
lowed to spend their money for anything
In fact during the stay of the editors
in Bessemer IL was a by-word among the

Churchill Clever.

Mr.. Winston Churchill is an exception
ally clever man. and, being that, he at
tracts the enmity of most mediocrities.
England is essentially the kingdom of
the commonplace. MI. Churchill has
written and spoken of late in opposition
to the formation of newspaper trusts,
and much of that which he has advance
ed against them Is correct. But he over
looks that the general public seldom
read leading articles, and i is only by
those that a newspaper proprietor can
endeavor to promote the cause he sup
ports. The news contained in paper Is
almost always radical for 1t reports scam
dals in courts and in society the con-
sequences of Medieval methods of gov
erning; the corruption of officials and
the continued failures of men and wo-
men who claim to be socially superior
to their neighbors. These items of news
are the chief attractions of modern
newspaper, which appeals to the public.
and could not be possibly omitted.
OF course, the proprietor of a large
group of important newspapers can make
himself unpleasant to a government
which refuses to comply with his wishes.
He can raise a storm over this or that
grievance for instance, and thus attach
unpopularity to ministers. But. on the
other hand he can do little to assist
a cause which he has promised to sup
port. except to have leading articles
written in its favor, which nine readers
out of ten do not even glance at. The
public of today can, and does, ferret
out a private motive concealed In a pub
lie policy, and attaches no Importance
whatever to such manouvers. So long
as there are no grievances and no scan
dals a newspaper viii be a radical agent,
whatever may be the opinions express

ers do not know. BY and by she married
one of the walters and bought the place.
Every night her appearance, bare-armed,
sturdy and smiling, among her guests
was the signal for loud greetings. She
served cheap dinner in Italian style;
and it was good. You used to see long
haired poets and musicians eating enor-
mously Of the vegetable soup, of the
meat course, of the dessert. 1t was often
their one full meal of the day.
There and at her place in Twelfth

reciters practiced their arts of Thurs

story of Bohemia an account of queer

swells from uptown, anxious to ''see

scribed was "Maria's''-and is was as
described, too. If too many dry goods
clerks and society people came because
they had heard that it was ''the thing"

sarcasms and insults. Outsiders had no
right to butt in" and spoil the place. Yet

Curiously, it has man as manager, a
man as head waiter.
Now a rather important financial in
terest is to turn two big apartment
houses into "girl bachelors homes. "
They are in a good neighborhood, they
are to be cut up into suites of from one
to three rooms with bath, and the widow
of, United States senator, the late
Randall H. Gibson of Maryland, is to man
age them. incidentally, her prominence
in that capacity will be one of many ex-
amples of the entrance Of women upon
highly paid and responsible positions.
The housekeeper Of such a plant as the
Waldorf Astoria, always woman, is q

are women advertising agents, coal
agents, managers of stenographic bur-
eaus, and the like, who from modest be-
ginnings and without great outlay are
gaining incomes Of several thousands q
year each. ~ rs s.
The business man Of New York hasn't
much sentiment about the matter. II q
woman can get the business she has the
chance Of the salary. II she prefers to
be her own 'ssboss', there is no effort

angular under the circumstances that
