STRANGE PROPHETS
 ARE NEGRO WOMEN
THEY CAME TO WARN THE CITY AGAINST SABBATH BREAKING AND LAND IN JAIL FOR BLOCK AIDING THE STREETS.

Two negro women reached the city yesterday morning who excited the members of their race to such an extent that 1t became necessary to lock them up during the afternoon on the charge of blockading the sidewalk.
 They were picturesque and interesting pair and occupied the center of the stage from the time they arrived till they left yesterday afternoon for their home at Eutaw.
 They paraded the streets, bareheaded and barefooted, wearing long white robes and carrying white canes. or rods in their hands. A report became cur rent that they were the women who had foretold the cyclone at Meridian, and also that they predicted that this city would be visited by storm last night at o'clock which would destroy one fourth of the population. This report, together with their peculiar actions and looks, made a good many white people, as well as negroes, nervous, and yes- terday evening about 6 o'clock, when the clouds began to thicken and the elements threaten, many timid people of both races became alarmed.
 At police headquarters the women de- nied that they were prophets, or that they had been to Meridian within a year. They said they were messengers of the Lord and that on the 20th of this month the Lord told them to go to Pineyille. ky, and warn the people against their evil way, and, en route, to stop over one day in Birmingham and tell this city unless 1t ceased breaking the Sabbath that 1t would be visited by some terri ble calamity. They said they had never been to Pineville, Ky, before, and did not know where it was, that they deliv- cred the Lords message and were re- turning home when they ran out of money and had to stop here today to wire Eutaw for transportation. The tickets came promptly and as soon as they were released left town.
 The women claim that they sailed from New York on October 19, 1900 for the Holy Land, and were gone nearly six months. They spent ten days, they say in Rome, three days at Bremen, week at Alexandria, Egypt. and then went to Berut, where they were held ten days in quarantine before they were allowed to enter the Holy Land. If they did make the trip to Jerusalem, it Is one or the most remarkable cases on record, for they are nothing but common Alabama negro women
 Anne James, the leader. said that she mortgaged 800 acres of land to get money to make the trip and that it cost her s7s0.
 Some amusing incidents happened in connection with their stay here. When the them to the police station, an old negro woman who had become one of their dis ciples. said

DON H. BACON TO QUIT SERVICE OF THE TENN.
 ON 18TH OF MAY NEXT
John Topping Becomes Chairman of the Tennessee Board. Man for Presidency Not Yet Named Gates Syndicate Now Controlling Tenn-RepubIc Co.'s Will Make
 Large Developments in the District

John A. Topping is now chairman of the board of directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and Don H. Bacon. who has been the executive head since January 1901, quits the service of the company May 15
 A board meeting was held here yester- day and after it adjourned the following authorized statement was given to the press:
 At meeting of the board of directors of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company, held this morning, MT. John A. Topping was elected a director and made chairman of the board; but this change in the board of directors does not in- volve any changes In the organization, The board declared it's regular quarterly dividend of 1 per cent on the common stock and it's quarterly dividend of per cent on it's preferred.
 NO action was taken in the matter of extensions or new improvements at this h-Sttlist pul IL NdS ueleiinlileu to tHoI- oughly remodel the steel plant and blast furnaces so as to bring them up to the highest state of efficiency. This work will necessarily involve the expenditure of large sums of money and will mate rially increase the output of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company in its various finishing departments. Cen eral improvements will also be made in the coal mining department of the com pany by additional equipment necessary to secure a greater ouput in coal and coke, as well as to improve the quality"
 It is stated that no one has yet been se- lected to fill the presidency of the com pany after MT. Bacon steps out. MT. Bacon, instead of handing the directors his resignation, simply stated to them that at the meeting to be held May 15 for the election of officers he would not be a candidate for reelection
 MT. Topping, the new chairman of the Tennessee company, has been the presi- cent of the Republic Iron and Steel com pany since the first of the year. His headquarters are at Pittsburg, but he will visit Birmingham frequently to look after the properties of the two com panies which he represents.
 While plans for the erection of new plants in this district have not yet been worked out the new interests in con trol of the Tennessee and the Republic are thoroughly committed to a develop ment policy that will call for an ex- penditure of many millions.

 Residence Lots.
IMPORTANT DEALS PENDING

The Birmingham real estate market is increasing in activity as the spring ad- vances. Leading agents say that the realty business was never more sats- factory or promising than It is just now.
 Conditions are settled, the tone is steady and trading Is active; and while prices are advancing they are said to be still under the safe and profitable investment limit.
 The spring trading season is well on and while no very large transactions have taken place within the past few days, agents are looking after transfers almost daily. The most encouraging feature of the situation is the large num- Der of enquiries for both business and residence property from non-residents.
 The element of speculation in real es- tate transactions is at the minimum and comparatively all the property that is changing hands is being bought for sub stantial improvement of some sort, or as a permanent investment,
 Notwithstanding the fact that real es- tate prices have been steadily advancing in Birmingham and vicinity for some time. they are not tip to the level of other large southern cities. Indeed, when Br- minghsm's resources and importance are considered, residence property is remark ably reasonable in quoted values.
 Such being the case and in view of bright prospects, Birmingham offers it is said, the most attractive field for in- vestments in the south.
 People well informed on the compara- tive conditions and prevailing realty values of leading southern cities declare age 20 to 40 per cent lower than in either Memphis or Atlanta and still the pros poets for increased population here are far greater than in those places. Choice residence property can be bought in eight to ten blocks of where the new depot here is to be located for $So foot and there is not q piece similarity situated in Mem phis or Atlanta that could be had for double the price. The comparison will hold good in central business property and in the highlands residence sections.
 Although the present level of prices here is comparatively low now. there has been a marked increase within the past two years. The corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, where the old Linn building stood, which was sold four months ago for $173,0O0, would not have brought two years ago, in the opin- ion of the best informed dealers, sl0O,- 900.
 Lots in Norwood, which may be taken as a fair average of good residence property that were sold less than year ago for $30 a foot have since been sold by the purchasers for $40. This ratio of advancement has obtained practically all over the city.
 The visit of the Gates party and their proposed improvements has given quite an impetus to trading during the last few days and number of large deals are now pending.
 The suburban market is particularly &C., tive and a number of acreage parcels are being surveyed and plated.

 MEDICINE.

A woman once wrote us that she was not going to buy Scott's Emulsion any more because it cost too much. Said she could get some other emulsion for less money. Penny wise and pound foolish. Scott's Emul- sion costs more because 1t is worth more-costs more to make. We could make Scott's Emulsion cost less by using less oil. Could take less care in making it, too. If we did, however, Scott's Emulsion wouldn't be the standard preparation of cod liver oil as it is to-day.
