Headquarters There.

Gadsden, November 22.-(Special)--

offices in this city as soon as the nee

the operation of all trains on the Bir-
mingham Mineral division between Calera

officials of the road have been here lately
to arrange for the change.

SHOPPING.

The uncertainty of the weather at TINS
season of the year renders shopping
little difficult, ones inelinations would
suggest different fabrics from what seem
nraetical for mid-winter weather. How
ever. yesterday was an ideal day, and
the crowded streets indicated high ap-
probation of sunshine and moderate tenn
perature.
The windows fitted with costumes for
cold days were the only suggestions OF
the ice and snow that will come later.
This is fine season to make ready Tor
the holidays-the stocks are all in, and
are already displayed. To purchase now
would mean more painstaking and more
satisfactory results. Each day few
bargains can be secured and stored away
in the closet to give joy at the Christmas
tide There Is more comfort in shopping
at a less crowded counter, the rush Is
not on you, and the clerk is fresh ana
better able to serve These are points
to be considered from a selfish stand
point. and there are other considerations
It Is a great accommodation to the bus
mess world deliveries can be more prompt
and the attendant at the counter Will
be less fatigued and better prepared to
enjoy Christmas day. We who tramp
from store to store knowing not what
we want and go in to find something
little know the tedious task of the clerk
to show what will best suit We cause
unnecessary labor, and worry that is
more wearing than toll. Shopping is an
art that requires discretion and decision,
to know first what you want, and then
to be competent to judge quality, and
to be familiar with the probable cost.
The frequenter of a bargain counter Is
no assurance of taste and good shopping,
but to be successful one must know
when and how to buy, to combine ma
terial to give fashionable effects and to
create from reasonable amounts the most
lasting and tasteful results. The mer-
chants know the particular shopper, and
1t pleases him to serve her. for he knows
II he has something good and the price is
in keep he will make a trade; there will
be no lost time in searching for bargains.

bar. He went to the Philippines soon
after the outbreak of the Spanish war.
1t was not until after the pacilication
of the northern islands had been eff
fected that Pershing came to the front.
When troubles with the Moros ensued
General George w. Davis, command
ing the department of Mindanao and
Jolo. wanted an officer of unusual dis
crimination to take command of the
troops at Iligan. He knew of no OIL
Ger of higher grade so well fitted for
the task as Pershlng and so assigned
the latter to the duty. He set about
his task with alacrity and combining
an indomtable fighting spirit with a
prediction for diplomacy and tact ac-
complshed in few weeks what 1t
was supposed would require a year or
more to do Though he led his sol
diers in several sharp battles against
the bolo men, he effected more by
diplomacy and craftsmanship than by
force of arms. BY bold dash he cap
tured a fort the Moros had looked up
ON as impregnable with the loss of but
three men. Another fort he captured
without firing a shot through diplo-
matte negotiations, and he secured the
submission OF n powerful religious
leader who was apparently implacably
hostile.
After once convincing the Moros of
his courage he made great hit with
them. was created a datto by the sui

he was given a position ON the general

dispersed the young girls of the party
may be seen keeping the threshold
warm as long as the water supply will

custom that every bride must invite
all her friends to dinner in her own

be prepared by the bride herself III

VICE PRESIDENT CAPOTE AND THE PALACE
AT HAVANA.
PRODUCTION of modern methods and APP
planes in the cultivation Of tobacco,
sugar and other plantations had
brought Cuba to stage of industrial
and agricultural prosperity never be-
fore known. But when country is
overrun by contending armies and
crops are seized or burned. beasts Of
burden are carried off To satisfy the
hunger of the warriors in the woods
and labor in general is in state of
suspense and anxiety, cultivation of
plantations becomes practically impos-
sible. Fall is the planting time for
the tobacco crop, and so little has yet
been planted that next years crop will
be very small. The success OF the
sugar crop has also been threa tened.
Under these conditions foreign invest
ors have become alarmed as TO their
losses through the insurrection, and
intending investors have been frlghten-
ed away.
Senior Gonzales de Quesada. who was
made the recipient Of the presidents
views concerning the Cuban situation.
was at the head Of the Cuban junta in
this country prior to American inter
vention and the Spanish war. He was
born in Havana in 1868, but was edu
Gated In the public schools OF New York
city, at the College Of the City Of New
York and Columbia university! His
paternal grandfather was a wealthy
Cuban landholder who cpce refused
from Spain the title of Marquis de San
Ia Cruz. His family lost their wealth
through the troubles of the island. but
money came to him through his wife.
and mrch OF her fortune was devoted
TO aiding the revolutionists, who. with
American help. finally won freedom
from Spain.
At the outbreak OF the insurrection
there were rumors that General Men
dez Capote, the Cuban vice president
was plotting against President Palma
with the view OF succeeding to the
executive office himself Subsequent
events. however. supported the view
Of his loyalty to his chief. He was
at pne time president Of the insurgent
govsrnment established by the Gu
bans In their last struggle for inde-
pepceJce. Is a graduate Of the Uni

When Captain John j. Pershlng OF

general of the regular army few
days ago he was jumped over the
heads of 257 captains, 364 majors, 131
lieutenant colonels and 10 colonies

a comparatively young officer, General
Pershing has rendered services TO
which great value has been attached
by his superiors. He Is not only very
brave, but is a diplomat as we'll Born

of Nebraska. During this period he

were commissioned to prosecute by the
president 1t is seldom that in SO short
a time so much occurs In a country to
produce conditions of anarchy and in
dustrial chaos. AS President Roose-
welt in his now historic letter to Min
lister Quesada put it: "For seven years
Cuba has been in a condition of pro-
found peace and of steadily growing
prosperity. For four years this peace
and prosperity have obtained under her
own independent government. Her
peace, prosperity and independence are
now menaced, for of all possible evils
that can befal Cuba the worst Is an
archy."
When Cuba set up as an independent
republic one of the first things done
was to contract big debt In order to
pay off the veterans of the revolution
airy army. This was done In the be-
lief that revolutions were at an end
and that the industries of the island
would provide revenue for the ex-
penses of government. When the In
surrection broke out In August the
government had about $13,000000 in
the treasury, and the extra session OF
congress, recently called, authorized
President Palma TO draw on other than
war funds for the purpose of sup
pressing the opponents of the govern
ment.
