collapse of the strike. leaders of the
reds say they will now devote their
energies to preparation of a universal
political strike to sustain the reyolu-
itionary ogr when the national as
Sernbly meets.
These. plans involve cooperation not
only of work1nen of cities. but of the
peasantry and, if possible, of the army
and navy.
Leaders anticipate that the famine,
which is. at the doors almost of 8 1000, 900
peasants of the central provinces. will
prove an effective ally of agitation. as
they can promise to give the peasants
land to an unlimited extent.
. While no further information has
been received regarding the reported
false emperor who was said to be-
peasants in the province of Penza, the
turbulence there has become so threat
ening that the government has placed
the province in a, state of siege.
Extremists Are Turned Down. y
The workmen's council at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning decided to call off the
industrial strike Monday at noon. claim
ing that a great victory had been
achieved and that the lives of 1000.
Kronstadt mutineers have been saved.
Many of those present, especially the
leaders of the extremist faction. advo-
Gated a continuance of the strike, de-
claring that only var to the knife with
the government vas possible, and
urged that the strike be enforced until
the Kronstadt mutineers We're uncondi-
tionally pardoned and martial law in
Poland was abolished.
The intransigents insisted that the
industrial workers throughout the
whole country was ready to flare out in
a resumption of the former general
strike if the st. Petersburg workmen
would stand to their guns only a few
days longer. They declared that the
strike committee in Moscow was last
night debating the question of joining
the call for a universal strike, and pro-
duced a telegram from Ribinsk saying
that the workmen in the shops of the
motor power department of the rail-
road had struck and thai traffic was
at a standstill.
The orators of the other faction re-
sented sharply the insinuation of
treachery and ~poltroonery and warned
their critics that they were in danger
of being deserted and entirely dis
credited if they persisted in ordering a
continuance of the strike. The divi-
sion of sentiment has been acute among

Memphjs' Merry War.

The Hardeman Free Press is real live country newspaper in Tennessee, but in 1897 the Memphis paragraphers began to write short articles which they proceeded to credit to the Free Press. This went on at least through one campaign, and at length the editor of the Free Press assigned the use of his own name and that of his paper to a Memphis paper, and the Harde- man Free Press incident was thus fully inaugurated, and it has been maintained ever since, much to the discredit of the water wagon reputa- tion of the editor of the Free Press.
 To this no objection appeared, and all went well until the morning paper and the evening paper fell out over the Free Press paragraphs, both claim ing priority of invention and use. The editor of the Free Press is backing up the evening paper, but the backing up of an editor who confessedly wrote none of the paragraphs in question is of doubtful value.
 The war is on, and the morning paper and the evening paper both claim to be the fictitious Free Press. The controversy is elusive to the last degree. and unless the combatants will agree to refer the trouble to The Hague tribunal, we see no way of set ting it. Brer Reaves is the real editor of the Free Press, which actually does exist but his word while he remains off the water wagon is not conclusive. The case should be laid before The Hague court.

eiu Revival Needed.

Recently l read in the papers in Bir- mingham that revival would probably be started here within the next few weeks" said church worker yesterday, land I was delighted at the idea, for I think that Birmingham needs some such thing badly.
 ''In Atlanta they had big revival and hundreds were converted, and it helped the city. 1 see in this mornings press dispatches that in Louisville about 10 per cent of the entire population has been converted in the immense revivals which are going on in that town, and other southern cities have had revivals this year.
 "The time seems ripe to have a revival in Birmingham. Several reforms have al- ready taken place in the city recently, and I believe that revival would result in great moral good to the city just now
 ''The welfare of a lot of souls has to be provided for in Birmingham, more so than in many cities, and the only way to reach a great number of these sheep who have strayed from the pasture is to have big sou-stirring revival with plenty of enthusiasm and with every Christian in the city putting his or her shoulder to the wheel and working to save the sinners

THE GEAR IN pRovERe.

Translation in the Literary Digest.
 In a recent number of the Paris Figaro were found colated some characteristic Russan proverbs that regard the Czar and his position and find much current applications
 'The crown does not protect the Czar from headache.
 Even the lungs of the Czar cannot blow out the sun.
 ''The Czar's back, too, would bleed if 1t were gashed with the knout.
 .The Czar even covered with boils is declared to be in goo-- health
 '"Tbe Czars arm is long, but it cannot reach to heaven.
 Neither can the Czar's vinegar make anything sweet
 "The hand of the Czar, too. has only five fingers
 "The voice of the Czar has an echo even when there are no mountains in the vicinity.
 Ut is not more difficult for Death to carry fat Czar than to carry a iean beggar.
 .sThe tear in the eye of the Czar costs his country many. many a handkerchief.
 'What the Czar cannot accomplish time can do.
 Even the Czar's COW cannot bring anything else into the world but calf"

Armor Plate in Conuress.

The armor-plate monopoly held by the steel trust and the Bethlehem ad- junct has been punctured to the ex- tent O. one thousand tons The gov ernment attempted to disregard the bid of the Midvale company, although it's plate had stood all tests, and it's bid was at lower prices, but il soon found that it had cut off more than it could chew It saw that storm was arising and it gave the Midvale company a contract for one thousand tons.
 Representative Vandiver of Missouri also demands in a resolution offered in the House that the armor plate trust be proceeded against His res oution recites that the steel trust and the Bethlehem company have formed a conspiracy to monopolize the armor plate industry in this coun- try, thus raising the price of plate from $454 to s52O a ton, although q board of expert naval constructors re- ported that the actual cost of produc- ing a ton did not exceed $197 ton, and he desires to know what steps the attorney general has taken.
 >The bid of the Midvale company vas at the rate of $99S ton, and yet Secretary Morton attempted to place the entire contract with the Carnegie Bethlehem trust at s453 ton. There is no cure for such favoritism and rottenness except in the building of an armor plate plant. There is no more reason why the country should be rob bed in armor plate than in big guns. The government makes it's own guns, and it should make its own armor plate. The ring cannot always domi- nate and rob the country. The time will come when the government will build an armor plate plant, and when it does the pric9 O. srmor plate will be cut down one-half at least.

NEW WRINKLE IN PARADEs.

From the Louisville Courier-Jeurnal.
 The glory of the civic parade seems about to depart. Upon all such occa- sions the figure upon which the interest of the spectators is centered has been the grand marshal, mounted on a spir- ted and richly caparisoned charger with his gorgeous scarf and other insignia of authority, riding at the head of the pro- cession, with his aids dashing back and forth along the line of march. All this it seems is to be eliminated and the in- novation is to be inaugurated in St. Louis, and, of all other occasions, on St PatriclS's day. It is announced that at the forthcoming parade the grand marshal will ride at it's head in an auto mobile, instead of on horseback

Schedule of the Southern League.

The new schedule seems to be sat isfactory to all the teams in the league. Birmingham will open the season at home. and when the end comes it will be playing New Orleans at West End park. The team wil play two games on the Fourth of July at home. It is perhaps unfortunate that Labor Day will find the team in Little Rock, but all the coveted days cannot be granted to one team or one town. There must be a fair division of them among eight teams. and the schedule committee seems to have accomplished the task to the satisfaction of all
 The season will soon be opened un- der the happiest of auspices, and the more the situation is studied the clearer it becomes that no team will start out with a grip on the pennant. The teams will be reasonably well balanced and that is just what ensures good ball and good sport.
 No one can pick the pennant win ner with any degree of security, nor can any of the talent name the make up of the first division with assurance The race is to all the teams in the legue, and the belief that any one team has a clear advantage over all the rest has very little to rest upon

President Peacock and selma

The Chattanooga News states that President G. H. Peacock is getting ready to move his plant from Selma to some other city. The company was organized in 1865. when the founder of it yas sent to Selma to make can non for the Confederate states. The plant has remained ever since in Selma, strengthening and broadening as tie years went on, and 1t seems today to be an essential part of that great cotton center.
 But it's is about to be moved, and President Peacock has sent out cir cular inviting inducements from other cities. He says the plant lacks room in Selma, and is to be moved. He goes on to say: "As we are compelled to move. we are seeking the most ad-

PASSING OF THE TURKEY.
Washington Market Dealer Sounds a
 Note of Warning.

From the New York Sun.
 You fellows who insist on eating turkey will ha e to take steps to pro- cure some other kind of meat before many more moons" said a Washington market dealer to one of his customers who said he had never gotten enough tur- key meat. If the demand of the last few years keeps on increasing there won't be enough tur.feys in this country in twenty-five years to count.
 You have heard that old story about the vanishing buffalo? Well, sir, the next story will be about the vanishing gob- bier and his mate.
 Its all on account of too much civ ilization. The progenitor of the turkeys you have been eating all your life was the wild turkey. When the Pilgrims hit the Massachusetts pike the turkeys were as untamed as the Indian.
 'They had their wings, and as the pale faces begali to spread out the turkeys took to their wings and travelled west They knew how to live. They didn' have to be penred up and pampered as they now are in Rhode Island.
 '"The turkey tastes bess when 1t raises itself on the range. You do not need any statistics to prove that the ranges in this country are decreasing. The country Is filling up with people. Civilization is the cause of that.
 "Turkey-raising is unproftable on small farms Whenever a small farm comes into existence u fe tiller of the soil ascer- tains that there is more money in other things besides turkeys. turkey re- quires as much range as Texas steer.
 And that is why we get more turkeys now from Texas than we do from the New England and the middle states of the west There is plenty of range in Texas for the bird, and that Is why the Texas turkey is better in every way than the turkey that is raised in the east. It won't be many years before the President of the United States will get his Christi mas bird from the state of Joe Bailey.
 You people who think nothing but turkey will do you for Thanksgiving and Christmas had better get right busy pret- ty soon Some of the prosperity grab bers of New York have already given the turkey the shake. and are ordering English pheasarts.
 "I tell you as an old tradesman that the turkey is doomed. I don't know what will take it's place. but it is vanish- ing.
 Let me tell you another thing that you may not have noticed. The turkey of today is not as toothsome as it was. It Is degenerating
 Just hunt up some old granddaddy who has tasted wild turkey and he will tell you that there Is no comparison be- tween the strntter of the forest and the nampered bird of the pen. The wild bird had a gamey flavor that your tame one can never approach
 ''T reckon you know that the turkey in England Is now only a recollection So it will be in the United States within the next ten years.'

'77'7-777-'77-7-7177777- IN HOTEL LOBBIES
WrestIinn. Match.


 The wrestling match at the Athletic club tomorrow, Tuesday night. reminds me of a wrestling match I saw in Paris recently said man who has just re- turned from the old country "A pow erful fellow over there is making im- mense money and drawing thousands by wrestling with a powerful bull
 The wrestler calls him Ursus The bull is wild specimen. and the wrestler attacks him without waiting for an at tack on the part o1 the bull and up to the time l left Paris the man had always been the victor.
 'I have seen the men in this country take the wild cattle on the plains and throw them by their horns. Of course, such things are not often. and not many men could do it.
 The French wrestllf grasps the bulls horns and gradually forces the big ani- malls head to one side. twists his neck and finally rolls him over on the floor There is nothing brutll about the sport, if it can be called that, but it is exciting enought to please the crowds.
 While the match tomorrow night is different entirely, as ii is between men, still the announcement brought to mind the bout 1 saw in Paris"

From the New York Mail.

trom the New York Mail.
 @ HE idea underlying most of \0 the ambitious wire-tapping and
 stock-swindling games that are set here is to be found in a magazine story of some years ago, detailing the cleverness of a tenement house girl who was escorted home from a public ball by a chance acquaintance. Hating be- fore a magnificent mansion she bade her companion good night and ran up the steps-and ran down again when he was out of sight The idea is simply to take advantage of a city condition in which one man does not know the other mans business and borrow the other mans background for a moment in order to impress a third party.
 It was illustrated this week by the man who tried to sell a disguised police man number of shares of gold stock. He led him past Broad street curb where some young men who looked like brokers were excitedly bidding for the stock at figures well above the price de- manded. Then he took him into the outer office of a well known broker, where man who looked as if he be- longed there assured him that the market was very tight on that stock. The outer offices of the Western Union are a favorite place to plant the prelimi- naries of the wire-tapping game. The steerer, with his victim in tow, meets a man there with his hat off, who says, "I can't talk over that matter here. I'll join you at the restaurant little later.'' The steerer goes away assuring his vic
