"Manp and "oentleman.v

How few plays nowadays contain even a single line" said q playgoer yester. day that lives in ones memory!
 q attended The Two orphan-' last night" he went on. and like eve zone else who was there I was delighted with the all-star casts presentation of the play. This morning, however. I recall only one line that is, in my judgment, worthy to live. It is the one spoken by Henriette, the older of the two orphans, to the company of noblemen among whom she finds herself a prisoner. After ask ing if there Is not cmong all the men present at least one gentleman. she adds in despair; Is there not then among all these noblemen and gentlemen at least one man..
 The idea contained in that interroga- tory is one that never fails to impress the human heart. Justin Huntley Me Carthy introduces effectively a similar conception Into his If I Were King. saw Sothern in the play few years ago in Now Orleans. It was a satisfac- tory production, but the line I now re- member is the one spoken by Louis X1's ward, who, when Francois villon leaps into the brush ready to lead the armies of France against her enemies. rushes in and kneels at Vilon's feet When asked by the irate king what means her sur prising conduct. the young woman re- plies: It means, sire. that a man has come to court
 "All of which" concluded the play goer, indicates that in the last analysis the man is ar even nober figure than the gentleman "

|NED TRACE TALKS ABOUT MATTERS
 OF INTEREST TO BIRMINGHAM PEOPLE

last Sunday that they should take more interest in local movements, suggesting that they should do their full share to. wards advertising the advantages of the district. I did not mean to reflect upon their subscriptions to the Vulcan fund, be- cause several of them, and believe all of them, did contribute to the making of the iron man, but do think they should get behind the proposed Alabama State Fair and do their share towards making it great success. Of course the president of every corporation is the best judge of that fund to which he should subscribe, but I have noticed on the fair subscrip- tion list that some of the big concerns who will undoubtedly profit by an annual exposition in Birmingham. of Alabama's resources, have not subscribed to the stock of the association. I really think that every real estate company and every manufacturing company in Birmingham, 1 and in the Birmingham district, should be a stockholder in the fair association. The bringing of people here to see what we have means the bringing of moneyed l investors here. People who have money l to invest in manufacturing plants want 1 good homes and good surroundings, and they want forms of entertainment for themselves and their families.
 l Let us have in connection with this an- nual fair, a so-called chautauqua assem- bly, in which there shall be discussions by prominent people of all great questions including not only literary, religious and economic subjects but matters pertaining to iron and steel making. agriculture and various other matters pertaining to the l affairs affecting the business and manu- featuring interests of this state.
 Birmingham is the industrial center of the South. It Is the hub of the Southern metallic world It is today producing the finest grade of steel rails made in the world.
 Manufacturers and consumers of iron and steel products throughout the civil l lized world can be induced to come to | Birmingham and see and discuss ques- tions relating to the manufacturing con- ditions of this section. We have had an
 educational conference here. We, have had other things Now why should we
 not have a great gathering of iron and
 steel makers and consumers here to see
 what we have and discuss the practical
 side of these questions.

pany and that MT. J. '. Hoadley, the president of ;his cor.pany. becomes vice president of tLe Alabama Consolidated cans much 70 this state. It means that the manufae urers of finished products in this country are eager to acquire con trol of the raw material and that they believe Alahamas mineral district is the center of cheap pig iron production of this country.
 Certainly the eye of the iron and steel consumers Of America is centered upon the Birmingham district.
 As a matter of fact, after years of experiment, it has been demonstrated that the best steel cGn be made here at the lowest cost. The Tennessee Company has spent years in experimenting, but has recently been rewarded by tremendous profits from its labors. 1 am reliably ih- formed that the Ensiey steel plant is TOW making a net prof of c--rsnd.ng s75,0Oo a month on its patent. We have all observed recently that the stock of tie Tennessee Company has been gradual ly climbing upward and I would not be surprised to see it quoted at par rithin thirty days. Indeed I have been told that there is an outstanding offer now for a controlling interest of this company at par. Just by whom the offer is mace, do not know, but insiders say that the stock on the present earning basis could not be purchased from those who own it and know the condition of the company for less than SIPS share. and some say control could not be secured at that price.
 The fact that the Tennessee Company is doing SO well has caused the recent purchasers of a large interest in the Ala bama Consolidated to seriously consider product plants in the district, and 1 am told that the Sloss-Sheffield Company will soon make provision for the erection of a large steel plant in Birmingham. [ By the way, the Sloss Company is in splendid financial condition and is said to have a surplus of something more than a million dollars set aside for the erection of such plant when it's directors think proper. The mere fact that the company is in condition to erect this plant without an issue of bonds mears much to this district It demonstra tes clearly that the iron makers are profit. ing largely by the advantages of the district and the present splendid demand for iron

 Now that manufacturers are making sham butter, sham maple syrup, bogus honey, fraudulent jam and pie that is not what it should be the outlook for the future is indeed rayless.

Gastronomically- the out look is not encouraging.
