but nowhere are they thoroughly con-
tented and happy, for all the time the
underlying motive Of the many move
ments in the pursuit of some scheme
to make more money.
1t may be argued that money is Q
necessity Of civilized life, aud that
money-mskins a perfectly legitimate
occupation; that no sort of business
can be carried on without it, and that
the churches themselves are loud in
their insistent demands for money
making to advance the cause of reli-

admit the truth Of those assertions.

1t is noticeable how largely money
enters into every conversation. .aud per-

half the items in the daily newspa.

and o very large amount Of the -mis-

it be railroad disaster caused by the

ey intrusted to his care. And SO it is
evident that despite the great good
money can do when properly used, the
love of it when it becomes on over
ruling passion, is still ''the root Of all
evil. and no doubt ''the father Of all
evil" is greatly occupied in the oulti-
vation OF a root which bears SO album

WONDERFUL SHOWERS.
Instances In Which It Rained Ioads,
 caterpilIars and Bugs.

From Pearson's Weekly
 ,rhere was a shower of roast duck not long ago. Many of the ducks were roast ed to a nicety, although few or them ,vere charred to cinder. The shower was an extrao ordinary effect of lightning that took place at Lake Grandieu, In the Nah- tes region A violent tempest ours, over the lake, followed by vivid lightning ana thunder. A number of boats were on the lake and just as they were hurry'ng to the hank there came tremendous crash of thunder Almost immediately the poats ,,,oro covered with the dead bodies of large flock of wild duck, all of which had been roasted by the lightning.
 very remarkable shower was that which took place at Tunbridge Wells. one afternoon. after still and thundery day. wisps of hay fell in shower rom an apparently clear sky. to the amazeineht of most people. It certainly was hay, for it was picked up and examined.
 The remarkable hay shower lasted TOT an hour or two. and afterward was sue ceeded by inky clouds. Then 1urlous wind sprang up. which relieved the pres sure of the atmosphere and stopped also the fall of hay.
 most extraordinary affair has taken
 
 place at Pwillhell. in Wales. Projecting ln- to the sea at the end of strip of land stands the Gimlet Rock. where setts are ouarried. Settsmen are employed all night through working by the use of flares They were startled by thousands of birds falling upon them one night. As soon as the day broke it was seen there were thousands of dead or half-dead black birds curlews, thrushes, starlings. snipe and other birds on the strip of land men toned.
 It Is supposed that the birds were mi grating and they were attracted by the lights at the Gimlet Rock. Then in their flight they struck against the masts of vessels near the wharf, or against the rocks immediately behind the lights; this accounted for the extraordinary shower of birds.

shower of toads.. The toads drcpped from the sky, and invaded the city by thousands, terrifying the whole place. Women refused to leave their houses; nearly every person who ventured out into the streets sprained his knee or ankle owing to stepping on the reptiles.
 A local doctor was forced to drive his motor-ear into the river as the toads had Jammed the levers of the car which would not answer to his touch. Another motor-ear was so clogged up with the reptiles that the machine was stopped. anu anu the driver was thrown out with such force that he might have been killed. Fortunately for him he fell on a cushion of toads, which broke the shock
 A curious shower was that which cov- cred the Holyake golf course with dad dy ionglegs. The members of the golf ciup viewed the visitation with a consid- erable amount of concern as insects had troubled the course all the year Tbar~ were so many that when the wind arose they were seen In little heaps in ths corners where the wind had blown them.
 In New South Wales there was a shower or caterpillars. In parts of the Gundagai district the shower was so .a we're that the insects covered the rround to depth of three or four inches T,ha, covered the railway line to such a denth that train had to be brought to A stand still. The insects had to be cleared from the rails and the wheels of the enpins with shovels
 Yarmouth had one of these remarkable showers one afternoon when the heat was very great. There was a great shower of small green flies These covered nedes- trians from head to foot. comneIIine many or them to beat hasty retreat in- doors "i-
 very disagreeable shower took nIaoa al Alderney Thousands upon thousands or cockehafer beetles or May bugs were rained out of the sky until the whole of 'ne peach was covered. Thousands were produced besides which foated on the sea ana were washed ashore by the incoming tide '''s
 It IS supposed by the people of the island that the majority of these washed ashore were blown seaward during a thunderstorm and drowned The shower caused a very extraordinary destruction of the beetles
 folkstone had curious shower of dense swarms of insects somewhat re- sembling winged ants. Nfyriads of these creatures filled the aid and settled on the ground and elsewhere and they caused messengers by the boats much inconveni- fence.

men consists of Charles P. Smith, mayor, and the following aldermen: w. P. Llay' C. E Cowan, Noble Christopher, Pelham Sitz and J. M. Sullivan.
 Mayor Smith is young and energetic. He has planned many of the improve ments in the city and to his efforts is due largely the success of the present ad- ministration. He has co-operated with and encouraged all the organizations founded for the benefit of the city.
 The Commercial Club.
 A strong factor in the development of Gadsden and Etowah county has been the Gadsden Commercial and Industrial association.
 This association has an active member ship of about 1000 and meets once each month. It has been instrumental in se- curing the location of many new indus tries. It has distributed literature over the entire country, and has attracted large improvements. Many of the plans for the good of Gadsden were proposed at it's meetings.
 The following are the officers: E. w. Whips, president; S. E. Jordan, B. R. Pegram, vice presidents; J. R. McMullen, secretary; Joseph Balfour. treasurer. Directors: M. w. Bush, T. S. Kyle A. D. Simpson, E. H. Cross, Capt. J. M FL liott, Jr., A. T. Stocks, R. A. Mitchell. One of the things for which the asso- citation Is working is the location of di- versined industries In circular re- gently sent out. under the head of What Gadsden Needs appears the following: More iron furnaces.
 More steel mills.
 Clay working industries
 Glass works.
 A locomotive works.
 Car works.

Glasses Washed In Running Water.

From the Washington Post
 They do some things better in Buenos Ayres than we do in this conn. try, said W. T. McCaskey, a former Milwaukee man, who has spent many years in Argentina.
 Tt may be considered a small mat ter by some, and yet one ironclad reg ulatlon down there always struck me as eminently sound-a regulation pro. Vldlng that all glasses used in bar rooms, saloons and public drinking places shall be washed in running water. The idea is that by cleansing them in water that is used over and over there is good chance for the transmission of disease. Inspectors are always on their rounds seeing that the law Is observed, and wot to tho man who is found derelict in it's ob- servance. Buenos Ayres, by the way. Is kept as clean as any city in the United States, and is one of the most progressive towns in the world.
 When man dies down there 1t does not matter whether he made a will disposing of his property or not. This law of the country comes into play and divides all his possessions equally among his heirs. Not one of them can be disinherited One good effect of this is to do away with big landed estates. Many of these, though, gre still of enormous size, and farms of 5000 acres are the rule, rather than the exception"

has a larger investment in Gadsden than any other corporation. It was attracted to the city several years ago and since ments in their plants.
 Their holdings in the Queen City now represent an investment of over $4, 10000. They operate, in Gadsden alone, one blast furnace and steel mill of four open hearth furnaces and a blooming mill, From the raw material they produce the steel billet which is shipped to Ensley and converted into wire and nails
 The furnace and steel mill are located at Alabam City. but as is the case with other industries located there, Gadsdep derives the benefit Between 800 and 1000 men are employed by the company.
 President E. T. schuler was recently in the east and his visit is rumored to be in connection with the improvements of his company that. 1t is reported, will probably be made in Gadsden. The rumor heavy bond issue.
 The investment of the Alabama Con- solidated Coal and Iron company in Gads- den is between s1,00O.0OO and $2,OO0oOO. They operate large blast furnaces and mines and quarries in and around Gads- den. A large force of men is employed by them.
 The cotton milsl of the Dwight Manu- facturing company, located at Alabama City, give employment to 1OOO people. The investment of the company is in the neighborhood of s1.500.ooo.
 Among the numerous other industries might be mentioned the following:
 Coosa Pipe and Foundry company, who have one of the largest soil pipe plants in the world
 Central Foundry company.
 Gadsden Pipe and Foundry company
 The A. & J. Stove Works.

 A large gast plant, which will be com peted in several months. Is now under course of construction.
 The plant will represent an expenditure of about $50. .0oo and will give a fine and abundant gas supply to Gadsden. Elec- trc lights have been in use here for seven or eight years. but there has been no gas. A corporation composed of local i men, backed by Philadelphia firm, Is erecting the plant
 The Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company maintains a good service

for 200 miles, and reached by five rail- roads, Ine city has excellent transporta- ton advantages.
 As the railroads serve as an index to the solidity of a city, the fact that all the five roads entering Gadsden are con tinually improving their service, may be rightfully taken as evidence of it's sub stantial growth.
 1ne roads now entering Gadsden are the Louisville and Nashville, the South ern, the Alabama Great Southern, the Chattanooga Southern, and the Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis. The Seaboard Air Line has a route surveyed to Gadsden, and 1t is not improbable that before long they will announce their intention of running into the Queen City.
 The passenger trains of the Alabama Great Southern .railroad do not now go into Gadsden proper. the station being at Attalla. It Is said that passenger train will be operated into Gadsden short ly. using the tracks of the Southern.
 The tonnage of these roads is heavy and is said to be sufficient to warrant the Improvements that have been made in the service.
 The question of the erection of a union passenger station is being agitated by the Commercial and Industrial association and good progress has been made, it is claimed, towards securing the endorse ment of the railroads and prominent citi- zens. The roads now have separate sta tions and a large union station would be a great convenience.
 President Whips of the Commercial and Industrial association is of the opinion that it will not be long before definite announcement is made of the intention of the railroads to erect a fine structure.
 Large Buildings.
 One of the hansomest buildings of Gadsden Is the new city hall, completed several months ago at cost of s25.000. It is thoroughly modern in every particular and artistically beautiful.
 The Etowah county court house was erected six years ago. It Is model public building, constructed of stone and brick. Surrounded by a well kept yard. with a number of shade trees. tho struc- ture presents an attractive appearance. It was erected at n cost of y6b,0G0
