In Society.

IT believe that the society men of Biz
mingham are becoming habitual stays,
said a young society girl last night AT
every dance or reception now the number
of stays is far greater in proportion than
Ii was a year or two ago, and the girls
are having more and more trouble about
engagements for these occasions.
Il do not know what is the matter,
unless some of the older men have grown
somewhat blase and do not care enough
about social stunts to take a girl or
whether the pace has been too hot for
them for this winter and caused many
of them to have to tighten their purse
strings.
Recently 1 heard a number of young
ladies state that they could not attend
such and such an affair on account of
having no escort, and they were girls
who are popular. OF course many of us
are fortunate enough to have steady suit
ors who ask us to accompany them to
everything, and we do not have any trou-
BILE. but some of the others are not as
fortunate.
IF 1t were not for the fact that there
are so many more men than girls in So
ciety in Birmingham | am afraid that
many more of us would stay at home
and keep the fire warm instead of enjoy
Ing oursef at the dance But there are
about two men o'every girl, and so many
of us get bids due to this overwhelming
superiority in numbers"

Was this a face
Premier Rouyier's Cabinet.

M. Rouyier. the new premier of
France, will also be the Minister oil
Finance, and M. Delcasse will retain
the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. Inc
premier will today explain his policy,
bnt II Is understood that he will
maintain ths programme OF his prede-
cessor except possibly as to secret re-
ports in relation to army officers. He
will urge the separation of church ana
state, and the adoption of an income
tax.
The Compes cabinet lasted nearly
three years, and the Waldeck-Rossea
cabinet which preceded 1t held out
three full years. 1t will thus be seen
that official life in France is length
ening and the transfer of power IS
no longer attended by excitement or
even rumors. No "crisis" appears in
modern French politics. The repub-
lie. now in its fourth decade, is well
established, and the Bonapartists and
Bourbons are no longer considered
formidable.
Premier Rouvier is an excellent
man to meet and overcome recent
French deficits. He is a financier.
But while he is looking after receipts
and expenditures, he will uphold, 1t is
believed, the Combes programme. lie
will in that way hold togther the radi-
cal republicans and socialists. Any
reaction would deprive him of the sup
port of both, and his downfall would
be speedy. In order to retain the
votes of the socialists in the Chamber
he must advocate an income tax and
the complete separation of church and
state. The new premier must pick up
the Combes policy, in other words,
and carry it into law and operation.

ST. Louis and Pittsburu.

''1f the greater Pittsburg comes to
pass that city will stand fifth on the roll
in 1910, being just little below st. Louis"
said a st. Louisian. I'm 1900 st. Louis
had a population of $4,000. 1t made
gain of about 124,000 in the decade ending
with that year. Probably 1t has popu-
lation of nearly or quite $4,000 at the be-
ginning of 1905 The boomers put the
figure far above this, but a conservative
estimate Is $4,000 1t will be likely to
have in the neighborhood of 725,O00 In 1910.
1t will have reached the 100000 mark, at
any rate.
1.-The greater Pittsburg, If 1t takes
place, will have a population in 1910 OF not
far from 100000. Pittsburg grew at the
rate of IS per cent in the ten years
ending with 1900, as compared with q per
cent for st. Louis. Allegheny, however.
had a growth of only % per cent, but
some of the smaller towns are increas-
ing at rapid rate. The consolidation,
if 1t takes place, will put Pittsburg in the
St. Louis Boston Baltimore class, and
will incite the formation of million
club which will have pretty strong
incentive for working for the attainment
of a seven-figure population total

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
PumpI1andIe Punch.

The very latest Knockout in boxing
and prize fighting circles is the pump
handle punch" said a man who keeps
up with such matters.
Unlike Kid MeCoy's cork screw or
BOD tftzsimmons solar piexus. the point
oil contact of the pumphandle blow is the
most vulnerable part of a mans scrap
ping anatomy-the Jaw.
When the pumphandle lands it's one.
two, three four, five. six, seven eight
nine-out.
The victim of the blow Immediately
enters the Elysian fields. and he usually
doesn't wake up until the next morning
What is the pumphandle punch like?
Did you ever grab hold of the old wooden
pumphandle and try to eptice the cool
ing beverage from its earthen retreat?
Do you remember that when you let go
OF the handle 1t flew up and very likely
hit you in the jaw? That's the original
pumphandle punch.
Just like Newton when he watched
the apple fall and discovered the law of
sravitation, the Kangaroo, when he was
tending his flocks in the Bush, studied
the principle of the fly back to the old
wooden rod. From it he worked out a
blow which he will bet his life will put
anyone away.
1.-The pumphandle punch is delivered
with the left hand Only skilful, ambi-
dextrous fighters can use 1t at all. The
pumphandle is u fly back from blow
which purposely whlzzes by the ear.
Just the instant that the opponent be-
lieves that the right is unleashed and Is
headed for solar plexus or jaw the pump
handle reaches the spot
THE pumphandle is a short, twisting
blow, when a boxer is apparently off his
balance. 30 he cannot hit effectively. The
opponent throws down his guard to pro-
tect other parts of his body believing
the lightning cannot strike twice in the
same place before recovery"

1t is Darkest Russia now.
A RELIGIOUS AWAKENING.

From the Church Eclectic.
There are not wanting signs that we
in England are on the eve of great re-
ligious awakening, as the result of pro-
found revulsion of feeling against the
worldliness and materialism that have
for so long held baneful sway. most
remarkable wave of religious emotion is
passing over Wales. The public houses
are losing their trade, football clubs are
experiencing depression as profound as
it is unwonted, and meetings for prayer
and praise are carried on by night as well
as day.
Already the movement seems spreading
to England, and there is much to con-
firm the views of those who for a long
time past have been asserting that the
train was laid. and that the spark alone
was now needed to set the kingdom in
blaze Nay! Is It not even possible that
we are on the verge of a worldwide re-
vival? Such an event, at any rate would
only be in keeping with the teaching OF
history, which shows very plainly that
it is just when matcrisllsm seems to be
marching to its Austerlltz that 1t meets
instead with its Sedan

TO THE GSOWlER.

From the Catholic Standard.
Be patient Be Christian and forbear
To objurgate the weather man and swear
Because the sting of winters in the air.
Do you remember
Those days in June few shorts months
ago.
Whose scorchlng heat oppressed and bak-
ed you so.
And made you yearn the blest relief to
know
OF cool September?
And when September came and in its
train
Brought days of frost and days of sodden
rain,
Good gracious. how you kicked and
growled againl
Do you remember?
Those summer days will soon have come
once more.
And you'll forget how bitterly you
swore
At all the winter weather gone before.
VIII you remember
When you were sweltering in mid-July,
The flake frost feathered that were wont
to fly ts
From out the windy reaches of the sky
This last december?
Meantime, II you should die and you
should get
Your last deserts. with oh. what vain
regret.
Those winter days because they're cold
and wet
You will remember.

The Associated Press.

While anticipating the crisis in st.
Petersburg on the morning of jan
rary %, the Associated Press achieved
a notable feat in long distance tele-
graphing. Reaching from New York
to the Gulf of Mexico, and the ex-
IRENE southwest to the Mexican re-
public, direct communication was es-
tablished with all the termini and in
termediate points In the matter sur
mounting the climatic conditions of
the country and CT quick work in gen
eral there are few if any records sur
passing it.
For an hour the headquarters of the
Associated Press at New York talked
directly to New Orleans, Dallas and
Chicago over the wires and all inter-
mediate cities, including Philadelphia.
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Louisville, Bir-
minghanl, Memphis and all points east
of the Mississippi river, received the
messages. In other words, one mar
In New York was talking simultane-
ously into every big newspaper office
east of the Mississippi and throughout
the whole southwest.

Autocracv is Doomed.

The blood of workmen shot down
nv order of a duke is the beginning
of the end. Fifty thousand troops are
massed in st. Petersburg, and they
will be able to crush the Gopon revolt,
but they will not be able to crush out
the desire for constitutional govern
ment. That desire will go on increas-
ing. and when the Russian people
again rise up to demand their rights,
they will have guns in their hands. Re-
ports of the accumulation of weapons
of warfare are already coming in.
They may be poor rifles, but they will
answer the purposes of the men who
hold them. Never again will the Rus.
sian masses rise up unarmed. They
have tried the Gopon plan, and it is
ineffective, leading to bloodshed from
their own ranks only.
Heretofore the masses have trusted
the Gar. However much they dis
trusted the grand dukes and the Blu.
reaucrats, they had confidence in the
honesty and justice of the sovereign.

PLOTS AGAINST THE GAR.

of his guards.
September 49, 1S96-Plot of Nihllists dis
