PORTERS HELP TO
 FIND BURGLARS
MEN WHO ROBBED SALOON ON AVENUE A WERE BUYING ALL SORTS OF FANCY CLOTHES WHEN CAUGHT.

A bold and lucky robbery, the loss of $50, the purchase by the thieves of fine clothing and preparation to leave town resulted in the arrest of one burglar yes terday afternoon at the union station.
 Monday night between F and o'clock thieves made away with all the contents of the safe at Bowers saloon on Avenue and Twenty-third street The loss was not discovered until yesterday morning when the saloon was opened. g
 It seems that on leaving Monday night the barkeeper left his safe door open, and locked negro inside. The fellow evident ly hid himself behind home whisky bar rels and was not noticed. When every thing was quiet he proceeded to do his work and skip out.
 The negro might never have been caught but for the saloon porters. The suspicion for the burglary of course lay on these negroes, so they determined to catch the guilty party. They had an idea and spent the whole day in search for them. They were finally discovered, blowing in the town, buying the best of clothing and becoming veritable dudes.
 The spy notified Policemen Burge and Disheroon, who were working on the case, and they heard that the negroes were preparing to leave town Upon this | Policeman Whitney who works the depot, was put on guard and before long one of | the negroes was recognized He was | quickly arrested and $S6.99 found on his person. His name Is Arthur Cole and 1 he Is held on a charge of burglary and grand larceny. The negro porter who turned him up to the officers is called Jones.
 There were two of the fellows engaged in buying clothes, but one caught wind of the officers and did not go near the depot. However, they are close on his trail, and before long he will be under

Me Eachern-Laniuan.

Miss Elizabeth A. Lanigan was quietly married to MT. H. o. McEachern at S;SO tonight by Rev. Father Doyle, at his residence on Avenue H.
 Only a few of the most intimate friends of the contracting parties were present.
 Miss Lanigan is daughter of Charles w. Lanigan, who until recently held prominent position in the rail mill de- partment of the steel works, but now with the Bethlehem Steel Works, Beth- lehem, Pa.
 Shess a beautiful young lady, possessed of many rare accomplishments, and has been teaching for the past two years at the Powell school. Birmingham.
 Mir McEarchern is connected with the electrical department at the steel works, and is very popular with his fellow work men and associates.
 The happy couple left immediately for Birmingham to catch the Louisville and Nashville train for Cincinnati. They will visit points in Virginia and North Caro- lima and the Jamestown exposition before returning to Ensley, where they will make their home

the rural districts and in small towns ex-
 presses itself in home building, and most
 of these homes are made of lumber. The rapidity with which the American
 forests are being felled Is almost in
 credible few years ago the New England and Great Lakes states furnish ed most of the number, they reached
 their maximum and have been falling off.
 Then the southern states came In and
 the forests have disappeared as if by magic. The southern states are now at their maximum and the Pacific coast is coming to the lead. the state of Washing ton furnishing morel umber than any other single state. The yellow pine of the south Is being cut at the rate of twelve billion feet a year, and the sup
 ply will be totally exhausted in about ten years at that rate.
 The forest reserves Idea is mistaken
 by many people They are not reserved to prevent the cutting of timber, but to encourage it and to force 1t to be done carefully The federal forest reserves of 142 COG, GOO acres are set aside from the public lands, which were heretofore open to settlement. Millions of acres of tim
 Der land have been settled and pre-
 empted by straw-men, who gave the title to great companies which have enriched themselves at the expense of the public.
 These funds are now being stamped out. The lands put in a forest reserve are
 withdrawn from entry and put under the care of a forest ranger. The timber on them is sold by the government to | anyone who desires to purchase, but must be cut under government direction. This | saves the small trees, requires the clear | ing out of the underbrush and guaran- | tees the perpetuation of the forest. | Timber is granted for free use to set | tiers in the neghborhood of forest re- serves for building houses and barns,
 but this too must be cut under the
 supervision of the ranger. The forest | reserves cost less than cents an acre ! to care for now, and soon will become
 more than self-supporting. France ex- | pends a dollar a year per acre on her | forests The proposed Appalachian and | White Mountain forest reserve was | smothered in the last Congress by the l opposition of Speaker Canno. but it prob | ably will be established within the next 1 few years.
 The number problem is not the only | question involved in the business of re | forestration. The destruction of the for
 ests has caused tue rainfall to run into | the creeks sooner and this has caused 1 the rivers to be subject to sudden anc
 destructive floodsA The soil washed away
 in these floods impoverishes the farms | and fills up the rivers doing double dam age The Mississippi river carries out | a greater amount of dirt in its summer l floods each year than will be dug iron | the Panama canal. and the problem |: | becoming more difficult every year Say | ing the trees will save the farms ant 1 the rivers.

NOT NEW YORK HARRY.
New York Detective Thinks Rooney Is
 the Wrong Man.

The big Standard oil robbery, commit ted several years ago by Frank Duncan, Frank Miller and others, for which the two men named were hanged, was brought to mind at the county jail by the statement of Detective w. r. Church of New York, in reference to James Rooney, who is being held in the county jail as New York Harry" and who is supposed to have been implicated in the famous robbery.
 Detective Church was in Birmingham during the street car lockout and was shown through the county jail. He was taken to see Rooney, whom he said was not New York Harry" He said that while the man held here bears a marked resemblance to New York Harry" he is too tall and heavy.

That a person cannot solicit laborers in the city of Bessemer without first taking out license was proven to the entire satisfaction of A. l.. Yauce, white man. who was arrested yesterday for trying to take laberers out of Bessemer. At the time of the arrest Yauce had a pistol which he dropped on the floor of the city hall. He at first stoutly denied hay Ing a gun but the officer that made the arrest pulled it out and showed it to the court.
