N. G. w. Blacksmiths Strike.

Roanoke, Va, May 5.-One hundred
and fifty union blacksmiths employed
in the. Roanoke shops of the Norfolk
and Western railroad went on strike
today, leaving but one man in that
department, and he, it is said, is re-
sponsible for the walkout, because he
is non-union man. The number of
strikers was increased by blacksmiths
in other of the company's shops along
the line of road going out.

viii Refuse to March In the
Parade on Memorial
Day.

Washington, May 5.-(Special)- pro-
tests upon the part of certain Grand
Army of the Republic posts throughout
the country against the return of the
Confederate flags as authorized by the
last Congress, taken in connection with
an occurrence in New York city yester-
day, lead many to fear that the reunion
of the blue and the gray in this city
on May Il, may not result in the military
love feast its promoters had hoped.
This reunion was organized in st. Louis
last summer, five Federal and five Con-
federate veterans beinng appointed to ar
range the meeting. Among others concern
ed in the meeting are Gen. Joe Wheeler,
Gen. G. p. Harrison of Alabama, and
Gen. J. S. Chase of Florida. The Confed-
crate veterans themselves seem to have
entered upon the reunion enthusiastically

Near Head of Line.
Yesterday in New York, while arrange
ments were being discussed for the Me-
mortal Day MAY 800 parade in that city,
1t was stated that probably ten posts
OF the Grand Army of the Republic in
Kings county would refuse to march in
that parade, because the New York camp
of Confederate veterans, as the guests of
Grant post, were to have place near
the head of the line. 1t has been sug-
gested that these posts should have a
parade all of their own and give the right
of line to the Garrison anu Beecher posts,
which are composed of colored men. Mai.
Walter Thorn, a member of the Smith
First Long Island post, has informed
Grand Marshal Simmons that he would
not serve on his staff on Memorial Day
because the Confederate veterans had
been asked to participate i'm the parade.
Grant Post Denounced.
Perry post. which is one of the organ
izations which cannot bring itself to the
point of extending the courtesy of froat
position in the parade to the former Con-
federates, has passed resolutions in which
Grant post is denounced Tor inviting the
Confederates, and Grand Marshal Sim
mons is criticized for approving the invi-
'tation. They speak of it as introducing
an element into the paraCe that is bound
in the course Of events, to prove fire.

antine is directed against general dis trrst. and 1t rests on facts well known an established. The importation and incubation of the fever this season is whony a4screaltable to New Orleans, and Mississippi shows it's distrust In rigid que tines.
 New Orleans shoulu change it's methods before it has anything to say about shotgun quarantines. It should place its quarantine in the hands of the federal authorities to begin with, and Alabama s.ould do likewise. The le~,5lature in this state does not meet until January, 19O7 but when it does meet 1t is safe to say banana quaran- tines will be abolished. Unless Louisi- ana is willing to do likewise she should not complain of shotgun quarantines, which follow banana quarantines natur- ally and logically.

Fever Situation is Hopeful.

The presence of the mosquito fever l became known and was confessed on July 1a but it is believed the disease had existed among the Italians in the French Market quarter at least two weeks earlier In a months time 283 cases have occurred. The daily num- Der of new cases near forty-one foci Is lc than thirty, an average of less than one case a day per focus.
 These facts go to show that the awakened authorities have the fever pretty well in hand. The screaming and olling of all water receptacles, and the cleansing and inspection of all infect ed districts Is carried on vigorously, and perhaps the present week may demonstrate that what proved good at Vera Cruz and Havana will prove eff cacious in Nv Orleans, which is by no means model city.
 If the present week brings no in crease in cases-no wild leaps to other parts of the city or to other towns it will be pretty well established that the mosquito theory is right, and that all effort should be confined to it. The wild leaps of the disease In the past must have been due to the transporta- tion by rail or boat of the stegomyia, and the quarantine authorities are en- deavoring to prevent repetition of such raids on the part of the germ laden insects
 All in all, there is good ground for hoping that August will bring no seri- ous extension of the epidemic. Here tofore in this country all efforts have as rule been fruitless, but that be came the result because the authori ties were working in the dark. They had not become well acquainted with tho stegomyia. They know the insect now. and all his habits and methods and this leads on to the hope that the fever has reached the maximum in this country.

MAKING SHAM GEMS.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Among all precious stones few are so
 extensively initiated as the pearl The real article is a silvery white. iri-
 descent gem. extracted from the pearl
 oyster. The genuine pearl is really an
 unfructified egg of the oyster. It's imitation Is arrived at by chemical
 process The liquor employed in the manu- facture is called "essence d'Orient" The
 base of this compound Is prepared by throwing into water of ammonia the bril- liant scales of 8 small river fish call ed the play.
 The scales are first carefully washed and put to soak in water. when the pearly-like finn falls away and forms a sediment at the bottom of the vessel, This sediment is worth to the manufac- turer a5 an ounce.
 White wax of mucilage of gum arabic forms part of the mixture proper for the
 more important and expensive limitations, such as those made to initiate the rare oriental pearls which fetch fabulous prices.
 The emerald is another stone which is cleverly initiated. A perfect emerald is the rarest stone in the world. though the trade ranks it after the ruby and the diamond. The best emeralds come from Peru, the limitations from France, and a few from Birmingham The real article becomes electric by friction, and herein lies the difference between 1t and the imitation.

Want Good immigrants.

"The men who have in hand the immi- grafton movement should be very care fuI as to whom they invite to make their homes in Alabama" said J. Lawler Darby yesterday.
 There are plenty of opportunities for the industrious and educated foreigners in our state, but it Is far more desirable that the waste lands remain as they are than to be occupied by vicious and ignor- ant people. Such a class of citizens would create trouble, especially in farming com munites. If people like those in Gull man and Thorsby could be induced to settle among us it would be a great worK.

Immiaration Figures.

All former yearly records are broken by that of the last fiscal year, when 1O27421 immigrants arrived in the United States. No other country in the worlds history ever acquired that number of new citizens by immi- grafton. They came here to better their condition. They listened no doubt to exaggerated stories of oppor- tunities here; steamship companies rendered the trip easy to them, and hardships at home completed the task of dislodging the foreigner from his environment.
 The rising of the incoming tide to a million persons Is causing the restric' tive newspapers to renew their de mands upon Congress. They call for quality instead of quantity, but Father Time attends to the former, for the newcomers are rapidly assimilated, be- coming American in single genera ton. sometimes in a single decade. In th- last eighty-six years nearly twenty l.-ree million immigrants came in, and yet in the census year our foreign born population was but 10,3O0,O00, oi about one out of seven.
 That all may see the composition oi tie incoming time we give below the arrivals by countries in the last two fiscal years:

Violating Sunday Law.

Some of the saloon keepers of Bir-
 mingham are in danger of losing their licenses if they continue to violate the
 Sunday law, or to aid others in doing so" said Judge Feagin yesterday in con-
 nection with the trials of several in his
 court on that charge.
 "A saloon keeper who is caught violat-
 ing the city ordinapce twice places him.
 self in position to have his license re-
 voked, and several of them have already
 been caught once. The next time their li- cense will be taken away from them Some of the saloon men are resorting to various methods to dispose of their wet goods on Sunday. For instance, they will let a negro have a few dozen bottles of beer, probably a cask of beer and several dozen pint bottles of whisky to be sold on Sunday. The negro takes the whisky to his house and sells 1t to his friendsson Sunday. Not only is he violat- ing the Sunday law but he is selling with out a license. The matter is one to which the better class of saloon men do not lend themselves and they should aid in pre- venting the others from doing SOL
