The Difficulties Of Our Early Diplomats

The Difficulties OF ursEarly Diplomats
John Bassett Moore, LII. ID, in Har-
per's Magazine for March. There exists
a popular tendency to oyefrate the de-
lights and to underrate the hardships,
of the diplomatic life; but, however,
there can be no doubt that the office
of an American ~diplomatist in the days
of the revolution was no holidayh
pastime. IL he was not already In Eu-G

Test of Inferior Court.

Judge Charles A. Senn of the City Court of Birmingham again continued the case of the tate of Alabama ex rel. R. l.. Williams vs. l. H. Benners and H. B. Abernathy yesterday morning. The case was set for a special order of business Monday morning at g o'clock.
 This is the case that is to make test of the constitutionality of the In- ferior Court of Birmingham, established by the last Legislature. Inasmuch as the Supreme Court has recently held the acts of the same Legislature creating the Inferior Courts of Bessemer and Ensley to be illegal Judge Senn will most likely rule unfavorable to the local court.
 This will mean that four justices of the peace must be appointed by the Governor. The Inferior Court of Birm- ingham has been doing business for four teen months, and during that time 76OO cases have been filed.
 The act creating the Inferior Court provided for the appointment of two judges at a salary of $1,500 each per an- mum, clerk at $75 per month, and a deputy clerk at a salary of $50 per month. It is understood that pending a decision in the City Court of Birming- ham no papers are being served by the constables from the Inferior Court.

.IRON AND STEEL
 SHOW ACTIVITY SeasonabIe Quletude Prevails in
 Many Lines UNDERTONE STILL STRONG Cotton Goods Show Notably Quiet Trade Due to Recent Price De- cIlnes In Raw Material and
 Backward Buying.
 
UNOERTONE STILL STRONG

New York January 1S.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Activity in industry particularly iron and steel and allied trades. furnishes a contrast to conditions in distribution, in which there is some irregularity, with season quietitude predominaung in all but a few sections. The undertone of the situation is. however, very strong. The potential demand is thought to be very large, stocks in all hands are light and the feeling Is one of confidence.
 Midwinter quiet rules the whole trade ia most lines and speculation in securities and staples is quiet to dull at generally steady prices. Generally speaking, the manufacturing industry having three to four months business booked ahead Is running very full and displays more sur face activity than does new business. The season for clearance sales in retail lines is we'll under way, and a large distribu- tion is being stimulated by special prices.
 A notable quiet trade at present is that of cotton goods, which feel the ef- feet of recent declines in the raw ma terial in backward buying. This is most notable at the east and Is responsible for reports of smaller volume of ship ping business doing than a year ago when cotton and cotton goods were advancing rapidly. Some cancellations. are reported in this line in the southwest. Aside from this, however, the volume of advance or ders is of good proportion. The iron and steel trade is producing at close to the maXimum the coke situation has inn proved and soft coal has been helped by cold weather and a better supply of cars. Bank clearings show gains not only over last week, but over this week a year ago. Railway earning returns indi- cate a very full business proceeding throughout the country. and failures are rather less than the annual normal cleanup involved, though the south con- tributes more than at corresponding periods In recent preceding years.
 Collections as a whole rank as fair to good, though the south still complains and some extensions are asked for there Business failures in the United States for the week ending January 12 number 295 against PTS last week and 315 in the like week in 1904. In Canada failures for the week number "A, as against IS and 39 Wheat. including flour, exports for the week ending January 12 are 7O0,95O bush- els, against 1,411,417 last week at 2,571 215 this week last year.

PadereWskl Sc ats.

A brisk demand for Paderewsik seats continues, and it is safe to say that every seat will be sold before next Fri day. the date of the concert. The Jeffer- son theatre will be filled to it's capacity. No music lover can afford to miss hear ing Paderewski, the greatest of all con cert artists.
 A critic in discussing Paderewslli says: 'It is hard to foresee where the limit of technique can be traced. The instrument itself, the plano, will go on increasing in perfection, the action being more respon- sive, new means being found for the production of brilliant or powerful sound, and the resonance becoming greater day by day.
 "A tendency of piano manufacturers in mechanical perfection is indicated by constant new devices for putting phe- nomenal technique into effect. They are succeeding in this beyond expectation, and in that way increasing the power of expression of concert players.
 'It Is certain that Paderewsik himself on the piano to-day is a different man from the Paderewski of ten years ago. He has progressed, and the instrument has progressed. and the combination yields results"

GOVERNOR APPOINTS TRUSTEES. Same Men Are Placed In Charge of
 Montevallo industrial School.

Montevallo. January 13-(SpeciaD D--Gov- ernor Cunningham yesterday appointed Rev. A. J. Dickinson, DID,, pastor of the First Baptist church at Birmingham; M. A. Graham of Prattville, Colonel s. W. John of Birmingham and A. H. Aston of Clayton. members of the board of trus- tees of the Industrial School at this place. Dr. Dickinson is trustee at large. MT. Graham Is from the Fifth district, Colonel John from the Ninth district, and MT. Aston from the Third. These were all re-appointments, as all those named have already served term of six years as trustees.
 MT. ThoI,ton was in Montevallo yes- terday in the interest of his colonization scheme for Calera. He is the same man who colonized Thorsby, and for whom 1t was named.
 The long distance connections have at last been made, and the central office here has been busy ever since the line was declared in working order on Mon day.
 Several of the citizens are discussing the inauguration of movement to erect a monument to the late A. M Cross by popular subscription. There was no man more generally beloved than MT. Cross. He was a Mason and devout member of the Methodist church. Should the movement be started it would no doubt meet with a generous response.
 J. W. Alexander, the rural carrier who was so badly injured in a runaway sew eral weeks ago, Is able to go around on crutches now.
 MT. and Mrs. Elijah McDonough of Wilton have the sympathy of the com munity in their recent bereavement. Their four-year-old child died suddenly Monday of pneumonia. The interment was in the Montevallo cemetery.

NEGROES ROB AND WOUND A FLAGMAN Fracture E. G. AImon's Skull
 and Shoot Hin
DID NOT GET MUCH MONEY
Two Negroes Assault Louisville and Nashville Flaaman at Oxmoor Thinking He Had Large Sum
 of Money in Pocket.

Two negroes roUoed and probably fatally wounded E. G. Almon, a flag man on the Louisville & Nashville rail- read last night about o'clock at Ok moor. eight miles from Birmingham. AL mon is at St. Vincents Hospital in a very serious condition, with a slight frac- ture of the skull just above one eye. and a bullet hole through his abdomen. The train was second section of No 19, a freight from Birmingham to Anniston. When ...e train recahed Ok moor the flagman went back to protect r. and the two negroes jumped on him. They took his pistol from his pocket, ana after beating him over the head with the butt, they threw him on the ground and shot him through the back. The ball perforated the intestines and the abdomen, causing what is generally thought to be a fatal wound.
 The fagman was discovered by the other employees of the road. who were attracted by the shot. Their suspicious had been aroused oy the long absence of the fagman. He was brought to Bir- mingham on No. 1, which arrived at 910 o'clock last night and was carried to Sr. Vincent's Hospital in the ambulance | oe Shaw X Son.
 The negroes made the assault for the purpose of robbery. Yesterday was pay 1 day on the Louisville x Nashville, and | they thought that he would have a large amount of money on his person. They secured only a few dollars, however, as Almon had left his money at home.
 Dr. Presley operated on the fiagman last night, but there Is little hope for his l recovery

SLAC PILE SETTINGS.

Woodruff, the crack third baseman, will not come to Birmingham according to Secretary Goldberg of the Lousvilld club:
 T do not know whether the minor leagues will win their fight on the draft rule or not said Goldberg last night, but do know that President Tebeau se- cured two cracker-jack players for the Louisvilles next year. These are Third baseman Woodruff, who played the left hand corner of the diamond for Cincin- nati last year, and Catcher Phil O'Neil who did backstop work for the New York team of the American league last season. ONeil was awarded to Louisville by tha national commission, and he will wear the wind pad and the mask for the Col onels next year. Woodruff was secured from Cincinnati in exchange for Harry Arndt and he will undoubtedly play hcre during the coming season. The Birming- ham club of the Southern league was eager to secure his services and Owner Sheppard and Manager Harry Vaughan, of the Birmin gham club, came here to secure the crack infelder. They offered MT. Tebeau a fine price for the players services but the Louisville magnate told them positively that Woodruff would play here or nowhere. Tebeau had talk with Woodruff, and the latter stated that the interviews printed with him in which he said he would not play with Louis- vile were lies pure and simple. He said he would like to go to Birmingham on account of the difference in climate. It took MT. Tebeau about ten minutes to convince him that the difference in cli- mate between Louisville and Birmingham was very slight and Woodruff soon agreed to play third base for the Colonels dur ing the coming season. He has not signed as yet because Mir. Tebeau did not hava a contract in his pocket

ASSOCIATION IS
 SPLIT IN TWAIN
cATTLEMEN AT DENVER WITH DRAW BECAUSE PACKERS ARE ADMITTED, AND FORM AN INDE- PENDENT ORGANIZATION.

Denver. January 13-The National Live Stock association was rent in twain today by the adoption of new constitution. which admitted packers to membership and provided an open door through which the railroads of the country may at any time become factors in the control of the organization. The cattlemen, horse and swine growers, together with repre- sentatives of some of the affiliated in- dust ries, refused to agree with the new constitution, and withdrew when they considered its adoption probable, and this afternoon formed a new organization un- der the name of the American Stock growers association, whose aim it will be to wield a dominant influence in the interest of the cattlegrower.
 Roughly speaking, the sheep growers, commission men and stockyards interests remained with the National Live Stock association, and the actual growers of all other animals for the market have gone with the new association.
