Will Miss Gilman be. content to settle

Is the romance at an end as far as the

This glance at a few struggling in
stances show the allurement that wo-
men of the stage have for men of late
ly acquired wealth. The romance of
Mr.. Corey, however, presents this
somewhat unusual feature.
1t was the belief of his associates
in the steel trust that he was the last
man who would yield to the attraction
of a stage queen.
From the time he took place at
work on the catl tipple dumping cars
in the employ of his uncle, J. B. Corey,
Braddock millionaire, until the di-
rectors of the steel trust gave him the
task of Strengthening out the affairs Of
that company, Mr.. Corey came only
into public notice as an indefatigable
worker He gave fullest credit to his
wife for large portion of his success
that came to him. His wife's knowl-
edge of chemistry qualified him to
take the position in the Edgar Thorn
son mills of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, which advance later led him to
the plate mills of the Homestead Steel
works, and finally to the presidency
of the steel trust.
When Mr.. Corey assumed the latter
position Mr.. Carnegie, who prides him
self on his keen judgment of human
nature, said:

Between and 6 in the afternoon,
under the personal direction of Ney, a

-Kellerman, Milhaud and Guyot-

the battle.
Straight at the center of the British

supported by artillery, and did terrible

 MINE INSPECTOR REPORTS
 Says Tonnage Should Have Been 0ne-fourth Greater.
 State Production in 19oe More Than Double That of Ten Years Ago. 42o Openings Now in Operation.

In his biennial report submitted to Governor Jelks, and made public yes- terday, Chief Mine Inspector J. M. Gray says the tonnage of coal of the State of Alabama could have been in- creased one-fourth If the railroads had heen able to supply all the cars that were needed.
 Speaking of the importance of the in- dustry to Alabama, MT. Gray says Since the passing of the present mining law in 1S96, the coal production of Alabama has increased from 5,743,6I7 tons, to 11,900 15S tons in 1905 and the production for 1906 will be between thirteen and fourteen million tons; you see the production has more than doubled.
 we now have more than 3SO open ings and more than forty under con struction, which will begin shipping coal next year, and which will make 420 openings"
 Mir Gray says the work of the in- spector's has increased so rapidly with the unexpected development of the coal industry, that offices in keep ing with the dignity of the State should be provided. The salary Of the Chief Inspector should be raised to s2.- 300. and the Associate Inspectors to s2 900 a year. A clerk should be pro- vided for the Department. The reports fo the Inspectors should be printed un- der the provisions of the general print ing of the State.
 MT. Gray says in four years, there have been three fatal accidents, and ff- teen persons burned by ignition of gas in the mines. This small number, he says, is equally complimentary to the Inspectors and to the local management of the mines.
 On the subject of ventilation, Mir. Gray says all mines with escaping gas, should be made to install the fan sys- tenn and in sucK a way that the action of the fans could be reversed. A large part of the report Is taken up with thorough discussion of the ventilation of the mines. and the part the State should play in seeing the mines are properly ventilated. In the same way, the Chief Inspector discusses drainage, pillars, boilers, trestles. wheels, fires. bosses, coal weighing, gas, propping and roofing powder and other explos- ives mining and shearing. electricity. coal dust.
 As recommendations which will pre- vent coal dust explosions Messrs. Hillhouse and Kuffner says:
 First--All coal should be worked in such a manner that concussions from shots will rebound to a minimum.
 Second--Remove all dust.
 Third-Keep the mine in moist con- aition to such an extent that the health of the miner will not bc impaired.
 The report is signed not only by Chief Inspector Gray, but also by As- sociate Inspectors M. M. tKIffner and James Hillhouse.
 Aocompanying the report, MT. Kuff- ner sends in his resignation as Assist ant Inspector, as he desires to take up ofhar hilaiu0a9.

At least forty men will represent eac.r company, and 1t is therefore expected that the West ern will transport nearly roo men, in- elusive of the cadets of Auburn.
 Details for the parade are nearly ar ranged. There will be five bands in the parade, and nearly twenty-five hundred troops. General Louis V.

The line of march from MT. Smiths 8 residence has not been determined.
 The Governors salute will be fired by the battery under Major s. T. West colt, of Montgomery.
 The committee on arrangements yes- terday asked the School Board to Monday morning that the pupils may have opportunity to see +he inaugural ceremonies. Similar requests will be made to the principals and teachers of private schools.
 The stand from which the Governor will review the troops in the afters noon will be located on Dexter avenue near the intersection of North Perry street The review will be one of the most impressive military displays ever made in the State.
 Subsistence for visiting troops will be provided at the armories of the local companies of the Alabama National Guard. Coffee and sandwiches will be served all day, and care will be taken to have each man well fed.
 M. Paul LeGrand was yesterday ap- pointed chairman of the reception com mittee and Mrs. W. M Wilkerson was appointed chairman of the patronesses.
