THE market is firm, at quotations ruling
since January 1. The Sloss-Sheffield COM
pany began selling iron last December
for third quarter delivery Its price then
was $40 on a No. basis, and it has sold
no iron since at a lower figure. Our COM
pany is now out of the market for the
third quarter and is not a bit eager to
sell at present for the last quarter"
The Sloss- Sheffield company aims to
keep six of it's seven furnaces In blast,
but now only five are running. The Phil
adelphia stack at Florence, which is being
equipped with an up-to-date skip hoist,
was to have been ready for the torch some
weeks ago. but it Is not lighted yet. In
the meantime No. at North Blrming-
ham, which had been running continuous
ly for four years, had to blow out for re-
pairs. This leaves in blast the two city
furnaces, one at North Birmingham and
two at Sheffield. The five are making at
the rate of $4,000 tons a month.
The Tennessee company's yard iron has
been reduced 10 about 5000 tons and the
Woodward company's to about 1000.

Over 1000 people filled the Grand opera
house in Atlanta to greet the commodore $

quite an ovation. OF the performance the
Atlanta Georgian says in part:
ut would be hard to pay higher COM

to say that 1t merited the very large
crowd which went to the concert at the

TO TAKE
HILLMAN HOSPITAL
IF THE COUNTY BECOMES OWNER
THE INSTITUTION WILL BE CON-
QUOTED ALONG PURELY CHAR
TABLE LlNES-RETAlNS NAME.

AT a meeting of the Board of Revenue
held yesterday the special committee, con-
sisting of Hugh McGeever and JOB Going,
made an oral report on the subject OF the
Hillman hospital. This committee had
been instructed to ascertain the probable
expense of maintaining the institution
and what changes, If any, would have to
be made to turn it into county institu-
ton.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
attorney for the board to examine the title
to the premises and report as soon as pos
sible This committee reported that 1t was
estimated that the cost of maintenance
would be about $4,000 a month
The committee also reported that the
board of lady managers desired to have
the name "Iillman" remain with the In
stitution. The board decided that, In the
event of the county becoming the owner
of the institution, 1t would be conducted
on purely charitable lines, no charges
whatever would be made, and no pay patti
ents would be received. 1t would also be
non-sectarian in every particular
If the offer is accepted the first thing
the county will do well be to pay off the
$4,000 now due on the building.

COUNCIL is FREE
OF READY RELIEF
MATTER WILL PROBABLY NOT
COME UP TONIGHT, AS COX HAS
LEFT TOWN, TAKING ABOUT $500
WITH HIM.

The regular meeting Of the City Council
will be held tonight at the city hall, but
promises to be short and quiet An amend
ment to the plumbing ordinance will prob
ably be considered. and several other
smaller matters will be completed
AS Alderman Walter Moore is out of
the city, his resolution calling for a re-
districting of saloons will not be called
up. 1t is understood from several alder
men that the measure will have some op-
position this time as before, for the propo-
sition of bringing all the saloons into one
district is claimed to have some objec-
tionable features.
The regular meetings of the committees
twill be held in the Mayors office this aft
ernoon. 1t is probable that the street
committee will make some recommen-
dations for further improvements and the
judiciary committee may award the con-
tract for the fire station at Third ave-
nue. and Fifteenth street.
1t was at first thought that the Mayor
would be forced to call up considera-
ton of the Ready Relief association"
the alleged fake that was shut down on
his order last week, but it is now under
stood that Cox, the originator of the
scheme. has left town, and given up the
effort TO work out the salvation of all
the idlers in the city.
In leaving he took with hin, n is al
legged, more than $500 of the money which
he had induced the innocents to deposit
with him.

UNUSUAL FIRE ON
HIGHLAND AVENUE
House Was Vacant and Chief Bennett
Cannot Understand How the
Flames Started.

One of the most peculiar and unac-
countable fires occurred yesterday at 2lO
Highland avenue. 1t has puzzled Chief
Bennett considerably, and he has been
unable to find any cause for 1t what
ever.
More than month ago the same house
caught fire from a spark and the flames
were quickly extinguished New shingles
were placed on the roof and the family
moved out within few days. Since that
time the place has been unoccupied and
Is locked up. There has been no fire in
the CRATES and the residence is too far
from any other house to catch fire from
chimney sparks.
The peculiar part about Ii is that yes
terday fire broke out In exactly the same
spot and burned the new shingles off.
A close investigation can find no way
in which the flames could have started,
and unless the roof was set on fire by
the sun or a miracle the negroes in the
rear alley will come to the conclusion
that the building is haunted.

sembrich-van Hoose Concert.

Madame Marcella Sembrch the worlds
greatest prima donna, assisted by Eli
son Van Hoose, Americas famous tenor
and Frank La Forge, a brilliant pianist
will appear In concert at the High school
auditorium tomorrow night. The per-
Torrance will begin at SIS o'clock.
Music lovers have been looking forward
to this event with keen interest and that
large and fashionable audience will be
present goes without saying The con-
cert will bring many visitors from nearby
cities. Tuscaloosa, Admission Gadsden and
Decatur will be especially we'll represent
ed at the concert. Gadsden alone will
send a delegation of over 100.
Reserved seats are on sale at Parker's
Nineteenth street store.
The High school auditorium has a seat
ing capacity of 1900. and the crowds at
tending the lyceum entertainments there
this season testify to it's popularity.
Madame Sembrich is the unquestioned
queen among lyric sopranos, and Van
Hoose is one of the few really great
tenors now on the stage.
In his rendition of Bach's Passion music
Van Hoose won special praise a few years
ago, though his fame rests as much, per-
haps, on his repeated successes in opera
as upon his highly artistic work in ora
torio and concert. Great tenors are ex-
ceptonally rare, and the demand for Van
HOSES services is therefore great, the
more so because of the fact that there
is no branch of the vocal art not en-
braced by his repertoire. In German,
French, Italian and English he is equally
at home, while his histrionic abilities
make him particularly well equipped for
operate work
| The present season, however, Mr.. Van
Hoose is devoting his time exclusively to
oratorio and concert, and his tour under
the direction of Loudon G. Charlton is
winning him added laurels. Mr.. Charlton,
by the way, is the manager of such
artists as Madame Gadski. the famous
Wagneran soprano, and Alfred Reisener,
the great German pianist.
| The four years during which Van Hoose
was associated in opera mad concert with
Madame Melba served to increase the
favor gained on his early American APP
pearance. On last seasons tour with the
prima donna, critics were quite as lavish
! in their praise of the tenor as they were
of Melba herself.
In the Celeste Aids" said the Van
Couver Province, Van Hose proved him.
self worthy successor to such tenors
as Mario and Nicolini, both now passed
into history. He possesses one of the
most sx,nna thetic STYLES .nossible to inn
agine, his voice being admirably suited to

New Gayety.

The girls are the feature of this week S
attraction at the New Gayety theatre.
In addition to the girls there is a com
pany of good comedians, clever leading
woman or two and some good dancing.
The olio contains five acts, several of
which are very good in their line. The
horizontal bar and casting act of Bowen
and Line is something that has not been
seen in the south in a long time, and the
two boys, Franklin and Buckley, do some
clever stunts in clog dancing, with not
few new steps. Woods and Green, Le-
vine and Hurd and Wilson and De Mon
vile have acts that include dancing, sing
ing, story telling, parodies and some good
comedy. There are two performances at
the Gayety every day, one in the after
noon and another in the evening.

ADJUSTMENTS.
1.-THE Girl and the Governor"


The musical comedy presented last
night at the Jefferson contained s no
novelties. The book was neither witty
nor the music particularly tuneful, but
Jefferson De Angels was there, and where
he is there is fun making going on sure
enough.
Last night De Angels was the governor
of Spanish American province of the
Sixteenth century, and he loved the
daughter OF an English sea captain. 1t
was a sad case of unrequited love, and
the love making of De Angels under
such discouraging circumstances was the
life of the comedy. The English girl
never relented, but the governor loved
her just the same, and he brought out
so much clever comedy work In the course
of 1t that the audience called him back
at the end of the first act until he was
compelled In self-defense to made a
speech very sparkling speech it was,
too.
Besides De Angels there was another
was ]. c. Miron, the basso and Indian
medicine man. He outsang all the rest
without half trying. His song, THE
Musical Bullfrog," was applauded again
and again. Richie Ling as the hero and
lover Of Ruth Granville, the English girl,
also sang we'll, and the rest of the large
company was satisfactory.
The scenery and the costumes were as
lavish as they usually are in musical COM
edles and altogether the audience went
away satisfied that they had got their
moneys worth. De Angels and the In
dian medicine man We're sufficient for
that purpose.
