 Just now plans are formulating for one or more very large industrial plants to be added to the number already es- tablished at Sheffield and there is a general brighteningsup in that city.
 The splendid electric car system, con meeting the three towns of Sheffield, Flor ence and Tuseumbia, is in successful op- eration now, serving population of about lS,OOO people; and the improved system of water works and electric light give a metropolitan air to the place.
 While Sheffield enjoys the advantage of water way to the markets about six months of the year already, it is esti- mated that the Muscle Shoals canal will be completed within two years, and then the way will be easy for all seasons"

Immlaratlon to the south.

"The matter of immigration in the south Is attracting great deal of at- tention," said a farmer yesterday T see that Judge Dickinson, general coun- sel for the Illinois Central, states that in his opinion immigration will serve to settle the negro problem to large extent.
 Judge Dickinson is interested in the plan of Commissioner General of Immi- gratien Sargent to divert the tide of in1- migration southward, and the judge stated several days ago, so I see from the newspapers, that this question was of far greater benefit and interest to the south than the tariff or any other party measure. In part Judge Dickinson said:
 T firmly believe that the absolute and the final solution of the vexatious negro problem lies in the settlement in the south of desirable immigrants The time is come for the great cities of America to disgorge their undigested population and the plan proposed by Commissioner Sargent will afford the needed relief and at the same time settle the south with workers.
 q think that the negroes who were willing to work and who respect their word and their obligations will always find employment in the south, but the day has come when the negro must be up and doing If he does not want to lose out entirely. The world has become too busy and too seriously employed to stand longer for slothfulness and idle ness of the blacks. They must do something of else they are lost. Thou sands of desirable immigrants are land ing every month and the south can get liberal share of them if she makes the proper effort.

 O Birmingham recalls an incident O in the history of Bettin Gi- rard, the actress whose sensational ca reer was brought to a close In New York hospital last Sunday, that Is not generally known, and has been omitted from the published accounts of her life. Miss Girard leaped into notoriety when brilliant society girl of Washington by daring a young diplomat to drink wine out of her slipper. Of course the dare was taken. and it is this incident, which occurred at White Sulphur Springs, near Washington, before she went upon the stage, that has been so widely heralded about. AS a matter of fsct there were two slipper incidentst ard the second happened at banquet in Savannah Ga. shortly after Miss Glrard had been mar ried to Arthur Padelford. The company was bantering Miss Girard about the first slipper episode, and the remark was made that she would not repeat the coup. Instantly she was on her feet, executed a risque little dance and kicked one of her slippers across the table. It was caught by young man well known in Savannah, who filled it with champagne, and drank to the health of the fascinating Bettina. It was this es- capade that afterwards culminated in Ar thur Padelford asking for and obtaining 8 divorce. Miss Girard, known on the stage at that time as Mrs. Padelford, came to Birmingham with the Boston Ideal Opera company, the forerunners of The Bostonians, and sang dramatic so- prano in Lucia de Lammermoor, Grown Diamonds'' and Mariana" at the old o'Brien opera house. February F, 13 and IA. 1889. Miss Girard was at that time beautiful, dashing and bril- liant and charmed all hearers by the magic of her voice, but even then she had contracted the habits that resulted in her ruin.

. At least one man has had the cour- age to come out and announce himself an admirer of women with red hair. Now, there are lots of women and lots of red hair. Certain combinations of women and red hair are extremely fascinating; for example one of those aetheria1 creatures with satin skin, glorious eyes and a cloud of furnished gold about her head like unto the damsels who once set Titan by the ears and were the admired of old Florence. A red-headed girl like that is worth while, but no one dares call her ''red-headed." Perish the thoughti She is a Titan blonde and adorable at that. Then again there are girls who are really red-headed and one can call them red headed without a prick of conscience. These diyinities have freckles, sort of an apologetie appearance, a lively temper and no powers of fascination. They are the kind who. in after years, develop into those terrible termagants, with arms akimbo, flashing eyes and set jaws, that have brought woe to unhappy male anil mals. Do Titan blondes ever develop into such viragos? We'll that is a question. It Is to be hoped that the answer is not painful to those who worship the Titan blonde.

Snow Banners.

In the Sierra Nevada mountains,
when conditions are favorable for the
display, there occurs o beautiful and
startling phenomenon Of nature. at
times when the wind drives up the
mountain sides in certain direction
and with sufficient velocity there
stream out upon the air snow banners
from hundred mountain peaks. They
are formed by the circling wind acting
upon the light snow and are thick. and
dark at the top of the mountain, like a
flagstaff, then they float away broad
" for q mile in length in waves of

play is rarely seen by other eyes than
those Of savages, but sometimes it has
been the good fortune Of a naturalist
to witness 1t when among the wild

Scriptural knowledge to the test. I
was urged to question him and to let
him question me. He would get the
better of me-that, every one said, was
certain-but I had my doubts and,
turning to the Scot, said confidently:

Bamed,

The word baHed now has a mean
ing entirely different from that ap-
piled to it 300 years ago. 1t IS now IN
derstood to mean thwarted, foiled or
disappointed, but then it was applied
to the process Of degradation by which
a knight was disgraced. a baffed
knight was one who had been pro-
nounced guilty Of conduct unbecoming
one Of his order and had accordingly
been shorn Of nis plumes, his sword
was broken before his eyes, his knight
ly robe torn away, his spurs cut OF
with a cleaver, and after being public
ly chastised he was declared to be BAT
fed. The word is used in this sense by
Shakespeare and other writer's of that

The straightforward, convincing

the wild theories of mystery in con-
nection with the Lena's visit here. The
Star feels that it has done a valuable
service both to Captain Ginther and
his fellow officers and the men of his
command, and to the public, in Offering
its columns to Captain Ginther for this
purpose. Captain Ginthers prompt
acceptance of the offer indicates a can
did mind and reasons and motives
which do not require secrecy. The
Star feels that in this it has added an
other notable journalistic achievement
to the long list which marks its course
