The carrying chair is no stranger to
the wedding scene, for not long ago a
smart young officer of the Royal Engi-
neers, who, owing to severe wounds
received in South Africa, had spine
trouble, was carried into church and
the ceremony was performed as he lay

Close In Paw Rolls.

Few people have a correct idea of the number and magnitude of industrial plants which are in the city proper or in the territory which touches upon the city limfts,' said the retired newspaper man.. ''The pay roll country is popularly sup posed to be that which stretches from Thomas furnaces by way of Pratt City and Ensley to Bessemer, and it Is well named; but an enormous sum Is earned by industrial workers in Birmingham and in East Birmingham and North Birning- ham, which are practically parts of the city. There are the furnaces and rolling mills. for instance, and when you go to the north and east you see a bewildering mass of industrial stacks. First comes the engine building plant of the Hardie- Tynes company, said to be one of the best appointed of the kind in the United States and the model which engine builders else where are now copying. Then in East Birmingham there Is the big plant of the Birmingham Machine and Foundry com pany, surrounded by scores of smaller iron working industries, while in North Birmingham the plants of the Dimmick Pipe Works and of Payne & Joubert alone furnish bread for enough people to make good-sized town Yes. the pay rolls in Birmingham and immediate vicinity run into the millions every year. I men, ton this sact because it has not received the emphasis which it deserves. Birming- ham proper Is growing rapidly as a manu- featuring city, and she ought to have credit for it"

Defeat of Mir. Jerome

The trial of Harry K. Thaw has con sisted of a series of defeats for Dis trict Attorney Jerome. Even when he confessed his inability to convict by asking for declaration of lunacy he encountered another defeat. Thaw was declared sane and capable of ad vising with his lawyers. He may have had a brainstorm when he killed Stanford White, but the commission says he is at present sane.
 MT. Jerome knows that he cannot convict the prisoner, and he Is en- deavoring to avoid verdict of ac- ouittal. His threat to apply for writ of prohibition means that the case Is to be indefinitely postponed while ap- peals are taken, and that 1t will sizzle ont in that manner. The ostensible object of the application for writ Of prohibition is to procure review or the proceedings of the lunacy com mission, but the real object Is to back down from trial that has been failure on the part of the. prosecution from start to finish.
 But if today the district attorney does not succeed in his effort to rally to his support the appellate division of the court the trial judge will com pei on Monday a continuation of the trial to its logical end. This Is what would be done in any other country. In this country technicalities over shadow law and justice, and in a stoutly contested case the former arise by the score daily. The Thaw case promises now to lapse into a haze of technicalities. and remain there.

Mir. Ruef's Grievance

MT. Abe Ruef would be happy if he were in the hands of the sherlH or the coroner, for both are parts Of his machine, but the court would not lis ten to his commitment to parts or ms own machine. Instead 1t appointed one Biggar an elisor, and 1t handed the erstwhile boss over to the elisor with orders to hold him in custody, dead or alive He is not permitted to go out on bail. He simply has to stay in iail under the watchful eyes of Elisor Biggar.
 Very naturally MT. Ruef thinks he is not fairly treated. He thought he had a machine that he could utilize In any emergency, but he finds his line Of retreat to it cut off, and himself In durance vile. There he must stay until his trial comes on. The ellsor is unrelenting and he even insists on being present when MT. Ruef is talk ing with his numerous lawyers.
 It is encouraging to know that in an American state it is possible to put an indicted official through the Judicial mill without granting him any more favors or privileges than fall to the lot of the poor and humble. Ruef's friends cannot come to his rescue at present, but his money will no doubt be used in the promotion of appeals and devising of technicalities when his numerous trials come on, for the man who once controlled his city has more indictments hanging over him than he can count on his fingers and toes together. At present, however, he is but prisoner, and Elisor Biggar is doing his full duty.

Affairs in Cuba

Secretary Taft will have a difficult problem before him when he goes to Cuba, for the property owners are dis satisfied because the United States will not annex the country, and the non-property holders are mad because Uncle Sam will not leave the island to the islanders altogether. The latter say Cuba should belong to the Cubans and they constitute clear majority of the mixture called Cuban
 The liberals expect that a general election will be held in September and they know they can carry 1t When a new Congress and a new president are elected the liberals then expect Governor Magoon and his entire official family to leave the is, land, turning it over to the rag-tag and bobtail in it. This is what the property owners fear and dread, but they see no way to avoid it.
 But the Platt amendment will stand, and the property owners know we'll enough how to create condition of confusion and unrest that will bring Uncle Sam back to the island. They will take to the bush before they will submit to the rule of the liberals, who are mostly negroes or men of mixed blood. Under the Platt amendment the United States cannot long stay out of Cuba, and perhaps after while either the Platt amendment will be nexed, probably the latter.

Cruelty to Criminals.

'I think that the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals could find a good deal of active work in Birmingham if their agents would only keep their eyes open," said a prominent citizen yester- day. Two incidents have come under my reported them to the society had known where to report. Day before yesterday I saw a negro hackman hitching up his team at one of the stables, and one of his horses had such @ stiff leg that he could hardly walk. Now, such a condi- tion of affairs as that shouldn't be toler- ated for an instant. If a. policeman should see that poor old horse limping painfully along he ought to stop that hackman and make him take that horse to the stable and treat his ailment properly.
 "The second case I noticed was out rageous. Right on Nineteenth street be- tween Fourth and Fifth avenues I saw a white grocery clerk and negro chasing a poor mangy cur with sticks and rocks. Just as I passed the negro knocked the poor dog down with heavy stick and he half ran, half dragged himself away. I asked what the matter was, and they said he had the mango and had invaded the grocery store. It would have been humane to kill the poor animal but not to beat it and bruise 1t and let it drag itself away to starve to death.'

LONDON BILLINGSGATE

omitted of late years. It seems that in former times the porters that piled at Biilingsgate used civifly to entreat and desire every man that passed that. way to salute post that stood there in a vacant place. If he refused to do this they forthwith laid hold of him and by main force bumped him against the post; but if he quietly submitted to kiss the same and paid down six pence they gave him name, and chose some one of the gang for his godfather. I believe this was done in memory of some old image that formerly stood there, perhaps of Belus. or Belin." The original porters of Billingsgate belonged to one of the oldest labor guilds in the country, the Fellowship of Porters, and at one time the carrying work both at Bilingsgate and from the wharves to the warehouses Of the city within certain radius was entirely performed by them They made up notable picture of old London life but latterly became a source of trouble to the corporation, and finally were dis banded at their own request.
 In 1S4S the market was improved and oHidfSeu Dy HlllnB up BllllngSgate dock in line with the customs house wharf and four years later a new market was constructed from the designs of Mir. Bun ming, with fine stone river wall, a clock tower and seven-arched arcade. The increase of trade compelled the corpora tion in 1872 to obtain an act to re- build and enlarge, and the present mar ket was built from the plans of the late Sir Horace Jones, city architect. It is of Portland stone on a granite plinth. and is Italian in character with a. con- tinuous arcade, fanked at each extrem- ity by pavilion. Tn 1879 1t having been proposed to remove the fish trade to a more central position. the common coun- ell resolved that having recently expend- ed f300,000 on the enlargement and im- provement of the market they did not consider it desirable to remove it from the present site. Formerly the fish was all waterborne to Billngsgate, but now the bulk of 1t comes by land from the various fishing ports of the kingdom.

Negotiations Terminated.

Clev eland, O., April 5.-Negotiat tions looking to a settlement of the traction question in this city were terminated to- day by the Cleveland Electric Railway company announcing that it declined to accept the proposition to turn over It's property to holding company on the basis of $60 per share. It was also de- clared that the company would refuse to consider any further proposition from the so-called holding company on any basis. Following this announcement the com pany withdrew the sale of tickets at the rate of seven for 2 cents and resumed the old rate of Ii tickets for 50 cents with five cents as cash fare.

No Strike In the West

The conductors, firemen, brakemen and flagmen on the railroads of the Middle West are to receive an in. crease of about 10 per cent in their pay, and peace reigns again through. out the western railroad systems. The request for a nine-hour day was not adopted.
 The terms of the settlement are not important in other sections, but the manner in which 1t was reached is of interest to all. For what has proven feasible in the west may prove feasible in any other section of wide country
 The settlement of the western labor trouble was brought about by Chair man Knapp of the interstate com merce commission and by Commis sioner of Labor Nell under the fol

lowing provision of the Erdmann law:

lowing provision of the Erdmann law;
 Whenever a controversy concerning
 wages, hours of labor or conditions of employment shall arise between car rier subject to this act and the employees of such carrier, seriously interrupting or threatening to interrupt the business of said carrier, the chairman of the inter- state commerce commission and the com missioner of labor shall, upon the re- quest of either party to the controversy with all practicable expedition, put them selves in communication with the parties to such controversy, and shall use their best efforts by mediation and conciliation to amicably settle the same; and, if such efforts be unsuccessful, shall at once en- deavor to bring about an arbitration Of said controversy in accordance with the provisions of this act''
 This law has stood almost unutilized about ten years. It had been in-
 voked only three times up to the threatened strike of the western train- men. There Is nothing compulsory in
 1t. It is simply advisory, and Messrs. Knapp and Neill could have done what they did do without 1t. But still 1t clothed them with quasi authority, and perhaps in that way enabled them to work more effectively. It at any rate presents the principle of arbitra- tion, and when the railroads request ed It's application to the western trouble Messrs. Knapp and Nell went at once to Chicago, and the result is
 the complete settlement of great labor trouble. The Erdmann law certainly stands fully vindicated. It will prove useful whenever and wherever there Is minimum of cuss- edness and a maximum of common sense.
