Rlrmlnnham Policemen.


 Birmingham has good police force I understand, but the individual mem- bers, as rule, do not present as styhsh an appearance as those of most elues' said travelling man last night. DO you know that policemen make the first im- pression upon a stranger to city? When ever stranger goes to place It IS na- tural for him to look up a policeman 10 get information. If he finds the police man Is not tidy in his appearance the visitor will say, This Is still a small town.
 'In Atlanta they have an excellent po- lice department and all of the officers make good appearance, anl it should De so in Birmingham. The heads of the de- partment should adopt rules requiring the patrolmen to keep their coats buttoned up. If this were done there would bt decided change In appearance.
 q understand that your police force Is made up of very fine material, in fae' about as good as will be found In th' south. But tte patrolmen seem to neet up to date regulations"

IN MEMORIAM.

 Bessemer Workman: The Workman extends It's heartfelt sympathy to MT. E. W. Barrett in the sore bereavement he has sustained in the loss of his beloved wife We wish 1t were in OUT power to help him and the little one who can never know mothers love.
 Frank Harvey Miller in the Montgom- cry Journal; In the death of Jamie smith Barrett. wife of E. w. Barret of Birmingham, those who knew her nave sustained an irreparable loss Mrs. Bar rett, who was Miss Jamie sutherlin Smith of Danville. was beaituful wo- man-beautiful not only in feature, but In all the graces that form womanly character. Few women have been SO be- loved by their friends, but few have been gifted by nature with a disposition so sweet and charitable, a heart so kind and generous.
 As girl Mrs. Barrett was known and beloved by a wide circle of friends throughout the south. Since her mar riage to Mir. Barrett she has resided in Birmingham and no home in the city was blessed with such a charming personal~ ity no home was more hospitable, and no home life more beautiful than hers. Everyone who knew her lcved her, and her death makes a void in the hearts of her friends and the social life of the south that cannot be filled.
 Mrs. Barrett died at the home of her grandmother Mrs. W. T. sutherlin, al Danville, and all that is mortal of her now rests beneath the soil of old Yir- sinia. She was the only grandchild and the idol of her grandmothers heart re the grandmother, as well as the grief stricken husband. goes out the tenderest sympathy of their friends in this sad hour.
 Mrs. Barrett Is survived by an infant daughter. It is some consolation tc know that the graces of the mother will live again in the daughter, and that tn, life of this child will be spared is tn, fervent wish of those whose devotior will fall like mantle around the tender body of this motherless infant.

The Late Archbishop.

"The late Archbishop Elder of cincin- natl, who was buried today, came of illus trious American lineage and was one of the strongest men Intellectually as yell as spiritually that this country has ever known" said well known Catholic last night. He was of Maryland stock, and was member of the Spalding family that gave the late Archbishop Spalding and the present Bishop Spalding to the church.
 While Archbishop Elder was bishop of Natchez he lived rather quiet life, but after being translated to the arch see of Cincinnati he was naturally much in the public eye. He was one of the leaders of the American hierarchy, but hs was to the last unostentatious and gem tle."

Iron and Steel.

Construction is going into iron ana steel. The commercial metal in US various forms Is supplanting brick stone and wood, and every year adds to the demand of the former. This IS already called the Steel Age. Between the demand of the railroads and the demand for structural material, the furnaces and the mills are crowded with orders, and a new period of activ- ity has been inaugurated Thousands of consumers are looking for iron and steel. and producers are sitting still calmly awaiting offers and higher prices.
 This country has been equipped by nature with an inexhaustible supply of ores and fuel, and no other nation will ever displace us from the head of the column. But our own needs are ln- creasing so rapidly, we cannot at pres ent do much towards supplying the needs of the outside world. The time will come, however, when we will make iron and steel for other coun- tries, our resources and facilities giv- ing us important advantages over all competitors.
 In the Steel Age Birmingham will not be found wanting. More and more of our iron will go into steel. The south needs another rail mill today, and there are a thousand other uses tGat call for steel. II the great indus try-the greatest in this world except farming-the Birmingham district stands ready to do it's part It stands ready to supply the south with pig iron today, and tomorrow 1t should be ready to turn out iron into the forms of steel that the south consumes. Our chief work from this time on should be the manufacture of steel. We have seven teen steel furnaces, but we need at least seventy.

REPUBLIC IRON AND STEEL.
The Prospects Are Good for Increased
 Earnings.
From the wan Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal
 Republic Iron & Steel was one of the iron and steel concerns that suffered the most during the past year of depres- sion. The company was obliged to pass the dividend on the preferred stock and raise s70O0, 900 to pay off its floating debt and supply additional working capital. withstanding these facts the compa- ny's securities have participated in the general rec covery of the steel and iron concerns in the recent past.
 strong point about the company is the fact that it is the owner of valuable assets in the shape of ore and coal lands in the north and south. The company Is now supplied with ample working capi- tai for all present requirements, and if the conditions in the iron and steel busi- ness continues to improve. the earnings during the current fiscal year should show considers ble improvement over the past year, when there yas a net loss for the year of S254.1Ss. Interests in the company say that prospects are good for increased earnings In 1905

About Butter.

Country butter no longer enters into the produce trade" said a Morris avenue dealer. "All the choice butter that is handled commercially is manufactured in the creamery. A good deal of renovated butter put up by northern concerns Is sold This butter Is bought during the summer and placed in cold storage until the fall. It is then worked over and makes a first-rate table article. But as for as the old-fashion country butter, fresh from the farm 1t has disappeared entirely from the market. All that is now made in the churn Is consumed at home.
 Creamery butter has declined in price since this time last year, but l believe retailers are still getting something like the old prices"

Steel Trust Absorptions.

Wall street insists that the steel trust is preparing to absorb the Lacka- wanna Iron and Steel company of Buff falo and the Republic Iron and Steel company of this district as well as of districts in Ohio. Reports of this na- ture have been persistently floated in Wall street circles all the year, and some people are coming to believe that where there is so much continuous smoke there must be some fire.
 The steel trust unofficially denies

TRYING TO RECONCILE MEN. Russian Reserve Troops Object to Gall
 to Colors.

St. Petersburg, November S.-The gov ernment is taking such measures as pos sihe to reconcile the army reserve men, who are being called to the colors, in- cluding particular pains to avoid harsh ness. There are many causes of com plaint, especially the character of the cases in which ordinarily cattle cars are no longer used. The disorders in con- nection with the mobilization have spread notably in the province of Vitebsk and Wilma, and there has been considerable violence in western Poland, where troops are reported to have actually fired on the rioters. Many families of reserve men in Poland are reported to be in great dis tress. The wives are allowed only 10 and the children cents day.

THE MILLER's DAUGHTER,

By Alfred Tennyson. It is the mil.er's daughter,
 And she has grown so dear, so dear' That I would be the jewel
 That trembels in her ears: F or hid in riglets day and night, I'd touch her neck so warm and white. And I would b, the girdle About her dainty, dainty waist, And her heart would beat against me,
 In sorrow and in rest; And I should know if it beat right, I'd clasp it round so close and tight And would be the necklace, And all day long to fall and rise Upon her balmy bosom,
 With her laughter or her signs, And would lie so light, so light. I scarce should be unclasped at night.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Babies seem to do all their teething in the night time.
 The worst of being right is you always have to prove it.
 It takes saith to teach your children what you don't believe yourself.
 No harm comes to girl who loses her heart if she keeps her head.
 A mother isn't willing to lose her figure even when he- daughter begins to get hers

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 Without the least apparent disturb ances about fifty dollars were quietly gathered in at the mayors court by fines this morning. This would indicate that the police are doing their duty and that his honor was imposing good round pen- alties. The beauty of it is, the entire work is done so quietly that no one knows that it is being done.
