Lecture at City Hall Monday
Night Well Attended and
Enjoyed by all Present.

DIR. X. w. Corwin was the lee
turer and his subject was, Rem
iniscences OF Early Days in Bes-
semer."
1t was an interesting lecture,
too, and was well illustrated by
the use OF stereoptican views,
mos. OF them depicting men and
things that figured so prominent
ly in the old days OF the old
town.
President ]. X. Dempsey, presi-
dent OF the club, introduced the
lecturer in a brief and well word
ed talk, and no time was lost by
the latter in getting down to the
business before him.
He proceeded at first to give
la general outline OF the history OF
Bessemer, tracing its growth ana
progress from the time it was first
laid out up to the present day.
Then came the many and var
led views. the steel works com
ing in for a large share OF atten-
ton Among the pictures were
the following:
4 copy OF the first pay roll ever
made out for the steel works, with
]. X. Dempsey as superintend-
ent, and the document is now in
his possession.
a picture of the first blast fur
mace.
\ group OF blast furnace men.
\ group OF converter men.
A group OF rail mill men.
\ group OF brick layers.
And in all OF these could be
plainly discerned the picture OF
quite a number OF those old pio-
neers who are still among us and
who largely composed the crowd
i'll the lecture room.
y picture OF the first hospital
.'> presented to view, a picture
OF ticket to the first ball ever
given in Bessemer, and a number
OF other views were shown.
\ large sized picture OF ID. N.
Jones was thrown on the can
vas. Mr. Jones was the first Sill
perintendent OF the steel works,
and died here, the remains now
resting in local cemetery. He
was a very popular man, and the
lecturer suggested that steps be
taken al once by the pioneer club
to look after his sadly neglected
grave.
Pictures OF number OF others
were also shown on the canvas,
and this feature was well receiv-
ed.
The club added neat sum to
its treasury by the performance.

SOARING THEM AWAY
Hundreds Of Foreigners Leave tho
City Because Of indictments
Lodged Against Them by
the Grand Jury.

The action of the special grand Jury
in bringing indictments against
large number of Italians and Austri-
ans for alleged illegal voting, false
swearing and other similar offenses
election day, has scared those classes
of citizens SO much that many of them
have left the city, and it is difficult
to keep the shifts full at the smelters.
In some instances 50 per day for 10
hours work was offered. an advance
of % cents day, and not enough
men could be faund to take the places
of those who had left.
All those were informed against by
the democrats, and now come the re-
publicans who will lodge testimony
against several hundred more for
false naturalization, it being believed
that some 75C were unlawfully nat
uralized, and from rs to 80 per cent
of them afterwards voted the demo-
cratic ticket. So the second scare is
apt to be more disastrous than the
first. and steel works and smelters
will be short handed. The exodus is
as surprising as it is sudden.

FATE AND FINLAND.

II Napoleon had had his way IN
the year 1912 the aspirations oi the
Firms to have their land incorporat
ed with Sweden would have been ac-
conplished, and there would now
have been no classification OF the
country, crushing down the national
sentiment, and of course no murder
of the Russian governor. swcden
at that time held the balance oil
power in Europe, and both sides
were bidding for her support. Ma,
poleon offered Bernadotte FINLAND
and the country between the Elbs
and the Weser for 10000 Swedish
soldiers. The czar Alexander otier-
ed him Norway and dazzled him
with prospects Of accession to the
throne of France itself. Bernadotte
decided to throw in his lot with the
allied powers, and this decision was
the principal factor in Napoleon
ultimate ruin.-London Chronicle.

Bolivar, the African elephant at
the Fairmount park zoo, has not
lain down for sixteen years. -Four
pronounced depressions in the as
phalt floor of his apartment mark
the spot where night and day the
great beast has shifted from one
leg to another. OF course the ele-
phant sleeps, but he sleeps standing,
with legs braced and well apart. He
closes his eyes and, his keeper says,
snores at night. Empress and Liz
7ie. companions of Bolivar, sleep
in recumbent posture. Bolivar
entered the zoo in 1888. He was
presented by Adam Fourpaugh and
is said to be one of the heaviest ele-
plants in captivity. He is vicious
brute and is never allowed the free

Telephone. In tn. United States.

The development of the telephone
is far greater than most persons i'm
agine. There are in the United
States some 1920 systems and lines,
with nearly 100000 lines of sin
gle wire and about half as many in
struments.
OF these systems nearly 5000 are
independent farmers lines, and
nearly 1000 are rural systems. The
greater systems are capitalized at
rather more than $3.50, 100000, and
b,000,O00,o 900 messages were sent
over the lines during 1909. Nearly
$4,000 wage earners were employed
and 14,l24 salaried officials and
clerks. The cost of maintenance,

PAVING ACCEPTED.
The Latin Word "Finis" is Writ.
ten at the End of the Last
Chapter of Bessemer
Street Paving
History.

At last the end. the final end
came to the long drawn out fight
over the matter of Paving Bcsse-
mer's street, when the city coun-
Gil last Monday night agreed to
allow the Warren Bros. Co. the
final estimate OF 20 per cent OF
the cost OF the paving which that
body had held in reserve.
The agreement was reached by
the paving company, though its
representative. l.. M. Pfeiffer,
agreeing to bind itself to DO lit
tie more grouting, along the street
car tracks in the spring, it giving
its guarantee to that effect.
This grouting will consist in
pouring more bitumen into the in
terstices among the stones where
the latter might be Jared loose
by the passage of the cars. Inas-
much as the company is already
bound by agreement to keep the
entire street in repair for a period
OF five years it is hardly necessary
to include an agreement within
an agreement.
Alderman Johnson made his
last, long. futile kick. He had to
register that kick, of course, and
the kick consisted in his demand
to know if the paving company
had left the city steam roller in
good condition after using it, and
if the said company had not, then
to see to it that any damage that
might have been done it be paid for
by the said company.

matter be referred to the city en-
