Iron Age Reviews Market.

New York, October 7.-The Iron Age Review will say tomorrow:
 Production of iron in the United States increased in September to 1,419000 tons. the heaviest total since November last year.
 Pig iron production has made quite marked progress since the summer lull. In June the output had declined S6 ,50O tons per day.
 In September 1t averaged 47,30O tons per day and we entered October with a daily capacity of over 4S,O0O tons. This is at the rate of over two-thirds of the production of the banner month of last year. Unfortunately no statistics of stocks are available, so that it is inn possible to judge whether consumption is taking care of all the current make. It is well-lSnown, however, that in some leading districts the accumulations have been considerably reduced, while in others makers being able to carry their own iron are content to wait for a turn for the better. One feature Is that con- sumers' yards are bare all over the coun- try.
 Commenting on general conditions in says:
 "The whole line of the crude and fin ished branches of the iron trade is sim ply marking time. It is only under ex- ceptional circumstances that buyers sur render their reserve. preferriNg to await developments. however confident they may feel that a spell of increased activity will follow the elections.

WAS TRYING TO SELL RING

Bessemer, October S-(Speeial.)-The Rev W. P. Price, who is assisting the Rev J. F. Gable in conducting the re- vival meetings at the Baptist church, is drawing large crowds, his first sermons having convinced his hearers that he had come to Bessemer with his heart and soul set on accomplishing much good, The statement has been made that out of the 10000 white residents of the town, not more than 1000 members will be found on the church rolls.
 Taking as his text tonight, My Son, Show Me Thine Heart he made a strong appeal to the young men of the town, calling their Attention to the many dan gers that surrounded them in their every day life. The congregation as a whole is entering into the meeting with much enthusiasm in response to his powerful appeals. and it is believed that the pres ent will be one of the greatest in the his- tory of the church.

New York, October 7.-Trimly attired in modish gown of white, Mrs. Eva Smith Wilkins of Syracuse, N. r., went into active competition with the weather bureau today from the roof of the lofty Hotel Gotham.
 Last night I said there would be no rain and there has been none, despite the predictions of the government ob- server that there would be-" she said, proudly. "The day before, I said it would be fair and it was fair. although the government report bespoke increasing cloudiness.
 What will the weather be tomorrow in New York? Really, I'm in doubt yet. You see, 1t is hard to read the signs to- day. His Majesty (with a sweep of the hand toward the sum has spoken to me but once today. and the ocean makes a difference, too. may tell you later in the day.
 Mrs. Wilkins says she studies the clouds scientifically and interprets the signs God puts in the heavens. She wants to go to Washington and meet the chief weather prophet to see if he will not give her a job.

having 5000 freight cars rebuilt, the Har- riman lines are receiving prices on 220 all-steel Pullmans, the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy is buying steel under frames. The Iowa Central has ordered 50 steel cars and other roads are in the market for cars and rails. Although the inquiry for the latter is limited low prices are undoubtedly responsible to a large extent for this business.
 The general report in regard to pig iron is one of inactivity but prices are for the most part firm with few changes dur ing the past month.
 Owing to the continued drouth in the Connellsville region, the plant of 5000 ovens of the Ellsworth Coal company, a subsidiary of the Lackawanna Steel com. pany, has been compelled to go out o1 commission, and other operations are in danger.

IRON MARKET IS
 STILL VERY DULL Some Orders Are Placed for Plates and Shapes PRICES GENERALLY FIRM Dry Weather Along the Ohio River Has Caused a Shutdown of Plants In

 Region.

Cleveland, October 7.-(Special.)-Th Iron Trade Review says:
 Dullness continues to prevail in the iron market Whether this is due to un- certainty as to the presidential election is a maj Ser of opinion, but it certainly is true that predictions that the market would be artifically stimulated for politi- cal effect have not been fulfilled. In spite of the comparative inactivity Sep tember recorded some substantial ad- vances, especially in the Chicago district where specifications on the books of the leading interest increased 30 per cent in September over August and orders 25 per cent.
 Recent orders for cars have resulted in 12. 900 tons of structural material for steel under frames being purchased by the Bettendorf Axle company, and 5000 tons of plates and shapes by the Standard Steel Car company. which is building the first order of 1000 cars for the Chicago and Alton. This railroad has placed a second order for 1000 cars, which will re- ouire about 10000 tons of plates. The Grand Trunk Pacific is figuring on 5o locomotives. The Michigan Central is

Girl Dressed In Boys Clothes.


 Officer Chldress met with the surprise of his life tonight when he arrested what he supposed to be 17-year-old negro boy, but upon arriving at the station house he found that he had been escorting buxom negro lassie to jail. He ran across the negro on Alabama avenue and Nineteenth street. and his suspicious were aroused when he heard her offer another negro a lady's small gold ring for a very small sum of money. There were two negro boys with her, but they ran away just as soon as the officer approached. She told so many contradictory stories regard ing her former places of residence that the officer felt justified in taking her in Upon arriving at the jail, when the cus- tomary search of the pockets of the vic- tin's clothes was being made by the war den, it was discovered that Willie Moore" the name under which she was masquerading was not boy but girl. When the discovery was made she then claimed that her name was Stella Moore, and that she lived in Birmingham. Before arriving at the police station, however, she claimed to be from Calera, and that she had worked last night at Alice fur mace.
 Officer Childress is of the opinion that she game out in this guise for the pur- pose of committing theft, and that the small boys that accompanied her were to be used in carrying on her thievng oper- ations. Had he known it was girl mas querading as boy he would have effect ed the arrest of the whole bunch but there was nothing apparent at the time to connect the others with her case.

Jones Valley Club Case.

The cases on docket against 31 of Bes- semers citizens charged with violating the prohibition law, which were to have come up for trial today before Judga Jackson, had to be continued until to- morrow on account of the exhaustion of the jury panel. The cases arose out of the raid on Jones Valley club by deputy sheriffs from Birmingham on Sat- urday in last April when the officers of the club, as well as every man found in the building was placed under bond.
 The result is being watched with con- siderable interest as the best legal talent in the city will bring out the fine points. Solicitor Ben G. Perry will represent the state and the defendants will be repre- scented by T. T. Huey, E. A. Veitch, Gardner Goodwin and George Ross.

Telephone Talks Al
 Trunking Calls.

fY17lHEN a telephone call is IW "trunked" it is sent EGS0aI through one exchange into another. This process is necessary only in cities where the number of subscribers is sui fciently large to require us to erect two or more exchanges.
 For instance:
 When a party in one exchange asks for a number in another exchange the operator trunks the call. That is, she connects with the "trunking" switchboard and repeats the number. The "trunking" operator assigns a line (known as a trunk" and connects the trunk" line with the number called for. The oper- ator who has answered you then rings the party called. All this

requiSes much less than the time to tell about it.
 In all cities in which we oper- ate two or more exchanges there are innumerable lines connecting the switchboards--these are known as trunks" This process requires a second or more than the ordinary telephone call, but you'd hardly notice the differ ence.
 The B .em of trunking as used by us has been developed to a high degree of perfection. By dividing the subscribers be- tween two or more switchboards the load can be handled more efficiently and with greater promptness. It makes for better service.
