Rude Baron Steuben

Baron SteubeD was known as the rudest, toughest, most uncivil and dis courteous officer in the Revolutionary army. He spoke English to some ex- tent-that is, he knew most of the oaths and explosives and had other words enough to string them together but when 2 little excited he would burst forth into a most extraordinary mixture of German, French and Eng fish and in this polyglot composition would abuse everybody in hearing.

REMARKABLE RECORD
 OF SECTION FOREMAN
Nose Dyer Has Been With the Ala bama Great Southern for Thirty
 five Years.

The general officers of the Queen and Crescent Route received letter sev- eral days ago from Nose Dyer, section foreman on the Alabama Great Southern at Springfield, which shows something of a remarkable record.
 In the letter Dyer stated that this week saw the thirty-1fth anniversary of his connection with the Alabama Great Southern railroad, and that during that entire time he had never had to flag a passenger train on account of work on his section, which Is consideraed by rail- road men as most remarkable.
 Never during his service has he re- quired an extra gang" to aid his gang in keeping his section in good condi- ton, except at the time when heavier rails were being laid. Railroad men state that this is another unusual thing in railroad circles.
 Further the letter states that on the annual inspection trip of the general of- ficers last year his section received the first prize for the best section on the Alabama Great Southern.

are held up on the protest of property owners, many of whom are non-resl- dents.
 Tt is to be hoped that property own CTS will consider such matters broadly and lose no time in realizing that they are doing themselves injury as well as retardng the growth of the city by op- posing the paving of streets.
 John w. ONeill: "I believe the city should be paved and improved l don't believe however, 1t should be done un- less it is commensurate with the bepefits that will be derived by the propersy owners. If by paving and improving the streets 1t will increase the value of property, then do 1t by all means"
 Otto Marx: T believe the city should be paved at once with first-class paving. No more chert that has to be repaired every little while should be used. There is no reason on earth why a good bithu- lithic pavement should not be put down. It is bound to increase real estate values. l believe the real estate owners might just as well take thei medicine now and have 1t all over with, instead of putting down cheap pavement and be compelled to take medicine twice."
 Walter Moore: T am heartily op- posed to paving the entire city. I be- leve there are a number of streets that should not be paved inasmuch as 1t would work a hardship on the property owners. The downtown streets and thor oughfares constantly in use should be paved, not with a cheap combination such as chert but with a good, substan- tial material. such as bithulithic or other similar paving. I am in favor of paving all streets where there are car lines.
 When it comes to the question of pay ing the city of Birmingham, am gener- ally in favor of it."

Rev. Dr. Stagg Talks of Vir- ginia Mine Disaster and
 the Aid Rendered
WORK IN BEHALF OF
 THE STRICKEN FAMILIES
About $35,ooo Was Subscribed, and All But Few Thousand Has Been Applied 10 the Widows.
 and Orphans.

One year ago yesterday III lives were lost by an explosion in the Virginia mines in Jefferson county.
 The next day after the accident a popu- lar subscription list was started by the citizens of Bessemer, which was the near est town to the accident, to relieve the suffering caused by the catastrophe. Shortly afterwards Birmingham started a subscription list and in very short time total of about $S5,000 was raised. The citizens of Birmingham appointed a committee of three to ascertain the con- ditions existing and distribute the money where 1t would do the most good.
 pr. stagg Talks.
 In an interview yesterday concerning the matter, the Rev. Dr. John W. stagg chairman of the committed said: "Out of about s35,0oO subscribed for the bene- fit of the widows and orphans and those who were dependent on the miners killed in the Virginia mines over a year ago, we have at the present time some six or seven thousand dollars remaining. As a member of the committee appointed to relieve the sufferers, I feel that much has been accomplished during the past year.
 ''In some cases we have paid and taken up mortgages for the sufferers, given others sufficient money to buy small homes, sent others to their homes in far off foreign lands, and besides paying the funeral expenses of a great number, have paid regularly twice a month to the rela- tives of the dead miners sums ranging from $4 to $16. It was decided by the committee to pay each week sum of $3 to the widow and S1.5O to each child. Our intention was to make the money run over period of fifteen months. We will about succeed in doing this, because 1t will be all of three months more be- fore the balance of the money Is divided.
 Money Accounted For.
 "The Birmingham Trust and Savings company kept a complete record of all moneys spent and we know where every dollar went and can show receipts for the same. This I am sure will compare fa- voSably with any record of it's kind in the world. We have made no distinction in nationality or religious denomination, but have worked for the common good of all. All of us connected with the fund have donated our services and the only expenditures that have been made and that will be deducted from the amount collected will be the cost of addressing the checks to the people for whom they are intended. To do this we hire a girl at a charge of S1.3 per month
 'In helping these people we feel we have done a good work. Many of the widows have married again. a large num- Der have returned to their native homes abroad. while many others have children which have been permitted to go to school and who are now ready to step into the world and earn money. In short the noble and unselhsh contributions of the people of the district have done much during the past year to eliminate a great deal of suffering and want"
