and that before any such dance
begins, order shall be attained.
10. That all disreputable per
sons and others who disturb the
peace, shall, after having been
labored with privately and who
do not comply with the rules OF
of the dance hall, be excluded

IL. That all dancers pay their
tickets at the door.
We quote the above that all
may see the general nature OF the
regulations. They are certainly
iusc and reasonable and ought
not to arouse the least opposi-
ton. We learn, however, that
some of the young p pe p e
take exec n, to some
of them, particularly, perhaps
number 8. We sincerely hope
such people will take up labor
with themselves and be rational
and reasonable. Common sense
ought to teach all that 1t is un

hours in the whirl and the jump

To Policy Holders.

We learn from reliable sources
that many policy holders in the
large insurance companies are
giving up their policies on ac-
count of the mammoth gratis"
on the part of officers of the|
companiesthathave recently been|
exposed. In our opinion, those
who have believed in insurance
in the past and have carried pol
icies for number of years ought
not to allow their policies to
lapse. The principle of insur-
ance to still the same, and the
extravagant misuse of funds
will not effect the individual pol
icv holder-so much as is mag
ined. 1t is to be RENE mbered
thatthese are mammoth compan-
les with thousands and thou
sands of participants, and that
a considerable part of the capi-
tai belongs to those who have
insured for large sums as an IN
vestment and not as a protec-
ton, Those who hove insured foi
protection and every man with
family should be so protected, Il
still protected. The laws see tC
that, We quote from the Mem
t phis News Scimitar:
In all States are strict laws

of the insurance companies ma,

Amusements.

On the goth day of December
1904. the amusement committee
of Cassia Stake formulated a set
of rules governing and control
ing the dances to be given in the
various wards. We have in our
possession a copy of these rules
and we consider them excellent.
They are not intended to curtail
the liberties of any, but are got
ten up for the good of the young
people of the stake. Among the
rules we note these:
l, Dances are not to be giver
oftener than once in two weeks
in each ward and all wards shall
have their party on the same
night.
2. All dances shall close
promptly at II o'clock.
8. Every party shall be open
ed and closed by prayer.

mills. Contracts have been closed for 25.000 tons for South America and 5000 tons for Australia. The demand for rails and structural material, it would seem already exceeds the capacity of the mills of the United States. It is estimated that there have been contracts thus far for about 5000 tons of foreign structural ma terial, and 1t Is said that one of t,e largest railway systems has been forced to turn to foreign makers for equipment in order to get reasonable delivery.
 The Merger Looms Again.
 If any portion of the country Is certain to benefit by the conditions outlined in the foregoing, 1t is the Birmingham district. There is an insstent requirement. for more mills and furnaces to satisfy the needs of the home market. and the Br- mingham district is the place for them. It is unnecessary to add the reasons. They are well understood in the east, and are fruiting into action. Eastern capitalists are firmly convinced that Birmingham must be the center of the greatest indus trial expansion of the immediate future. Recent developments as to efforts in New York to secure control of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and other lead

ing interests in the district place the fact beyond contradiction. It Is too early to hazard a prediction as to the exact out come of these negotiations. We may be certain, however. that if they are con cluded to the satisfaction of all interests involved large sum of money will be forthcoming for development purposes and if 1t be fact that the interests seek ing control are practically those which control the railways operating in the dis trict we need have no fear that the old or the new industries will be permitted to shut down to promote the welfare of some other industrial center. On the contrary we may reasonably expect that our in- dustrial development will be fostered in every way possible.
 The Other View of 1t.
 On the other hand, if this 'dear' Is held up or broken off for good and sufficient reasons, the effect upon the district will not be disastrous. Indeed the probability is that the. result will be the reverse of that, inasmuch as 1t will stimulate those at present in control of these interests to stronger effort toward expansion and development. The initiative of some of

= Is the heart of prosperity sound? Is its pulse strong and steady?
 The question is answered in the tele- graphic news of the day.
 Never before in the history of the non trade. say the dispatches, have the aggre- gate sales of ore been so large at this time of the year. The ore shipments up to the first of December were 100000 tons in ex- cess of those for the same period of 1902, but numerous furnaces. finding that they have not fully covered their requirements up to the opening of navigation next year are active in making contracts for ore for 1906. This is ndisputable evidence of tho confidence of furnacemen in the continued prosperity of the iron business.
 Demand for Steel and Rails.
 The bookings of the United States Steel Corporation were slightly in excess of T. 000,000 tons per day in November. as com pared with a little more than 5000, GOO tons per day in October The St. Paul railrpad has called for 6O,OOO tons of rails. the first installment for its Pacific coast exten- sion.

As to Applejack.

Victor Smith in New York Press.
 The telephone lineman has no sinecure. His equipment Is a corduroy suit lined and faced with leather, a pair of steel climbers, pliers a few coils of wire, sev eral kinds of hammers and clamps, a pocketful of assorted nails, insulating tape, screwdriver, jackknife and, last but not least, in the bleak winter months. a generous flask of applejack. His outfit weighs about eighty pounds. I'd as lief tote around a ball and chain. Cant you get along without the applejack?" I asked in the interest of temperance. Without a bit of jack?" he replied. Not much. Every lineman carries his flask of that. Couldn't keep warm enough to do any work without 1t. Think of sittin' on the cross-beam of a fifty-foot pole in the middle of winter, wind eighty miles an hour. thermometer below zero, tryin to repair wires! Why, I'm a temperance man. Last winter, though, I drank four gallons of applejack, and still nearly froze to death"

these leading interests is becoming more marked all the. time, and the world or finance and industry has fully learned the fact that Birmingham is able to work out her own salvation. For instance, the an- nouncement is made, just as this article is written, that the Southern Steel Com pany, recently formed by the consolida- ton of the Alabama Steel and Wire Com- pany and the Underwood Coal and Iron Company, will expend between $1,0000OO and $20OO.OOO in development. including new construction, whereby the produc- ton of steel in this district will be con- siderably increased. The consolidated com pany is made up largely of local capi- talists, and the statement as to its plans is nothing short of declaration of in- dependence.
