Public School Items.

Extensive improvements are now In progress at both the Clarendon Avenue and Roberts Street schools. Both build ings arc being thoroughly renovated on the inside, while the Roberts school will aiso undergo considerable exterior inn provements The latter building is to have a modern steam-heating system in stalled before the fall opening.
 Ground has already been broken in the construction of the magnificent High school building recently contracted for. The contract calls for the completion of this building on March 1. When ready it promises to be one of the most modern and best equipped high school buildings in the state. It will be credit to Besse- mer and the Greater Birmingham dis trict.
 The schools will open under new aus pices on September 21. The new superin- tendent, Prof. A. A. Persons has already moved his family to Bessemer and is now comfortably domciled at 1914 Dartmouth avenue, just north of the Clarendon Ave- nue school His interesting family prom ises to prove a valuable acquisition to the growing city's citizenship Professor Persons has for 20 years been actively and prominently employed in educational work-chief1y in Alabama

LIoyds Turn Down Sheath Gown.

From the New York World
 Something has at last been found on which Lloyds refuse to write a risk. AL though everybody is willing to twist his neck out of joint to see one and thou sands of women are anxious to wear them, including those who are afraid. the British concern will not insure their popularity.
 Bloomingdale Brothers sought to ob- tain $l0.000 insurance against loss on a consignment of directoire gowns They wanted Lloyds to insure the sale of a certain number by certain one but Lloyds decided the caprices of women were beyond them.
 Tt is true" said Isadore Kahn. of o0e Broadway, who places insurance for the Bloomingdale firm, that when I tried to get policy of $10,O0O from the agent of the London Lloyds against loss on a consignment of these sheath skirts, or directoire gowns, l failed to get it. We had been after the insurance for some time, and when a decision was finally asked we had to say we could not place the risk. It is the first time I ever heard of Lloyds turning down any proposition. It simply shows that an American firm has found that after all Lloyds will not insure against everything under the sun"

Signs of Improved Conditions.

There is much activity around the Clarendon Avenue and the Roberts schools, the painters and plaste-ers be- ing busy remodeling the two buildings for occupancy September 21, wlen the scholastic year begins.
 Six or eight new buildings are be- ing erected in different parts of the city, and the new fire station or Berk- ley avenue is nearing completion.
 Some of the merchants say that bus mess has been decidedly better for the past three weeks. Indications are that the Bessemer rolling mill will run con- tinuously for the balance of the year. as 1t is nearing the time for the various blow manufacturing concerns located throughout the south to commence spe- cifying for the tonnage to be used this fall, and the demand for concrete re- inforcement bars and other material that is turned out at this mill is in- creasing.
 All the plants located in Bessemer are now running except No. 1 and No. blast furnaces, and there Is some talk of their being blown in very shortly.

with ti.e people of Tuscaloosa. He is well and favorably known all over the state, having been frequent lecturer on educational topics in almost every section of Alabama.
 Prof. John B. Chapman the new prin- cipal of the High school, comes to Besse- mer highly recommended. He graduated at the State university seven years ago and since that time has been principal of high schools in the graded school systems of Dothan and OpelilSa. His ex- cellent educational equipment and long experience as high school principal should render him a valuable acquisition to the Bessemer school system.
 The people of Bessemer are thoroughly in sympathy with every movement for public school development and stand ready to insist on any plan which in- creases efficiency in the upbulding of her already excellent school system.

 Am I on the road to Parker?" asked Hitchcock.
 You are," answered the man, survey ing Hitchcock with mild curiosity.
 Well, am I half way there?'' inquired the traveller.

NEGRO FORGER ACTIVE
Tries to Swindle South Pitts
burg Parties.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, Nov.
81. "A clerical looking negro, calling
himself T. D. Smith, but whose real
name is the Rev. J. H. Williams, at
tempted to forge check on the local
banks here today. He arrived from
Chattanooga on the morning train and
made it plain to all with whom he
held converse that he expected letter
at the postoffice from Allen & Wick
*:Iiffe, druggists. of Chattanooga, and
laid letter would contain check in pay
'lhent of a horse and buggy that he had
sold them. He showed the letter and
check to w. L. Miller, who at once
telephoned Allen & Wickliffe concern,
ing the matter, and was advised that
the check was forged. Miller informed
the local bankers and police officers
who got on the lookout. The forger
went to the First National bank and
was turned down. He then went to
the Savings bank, where he met like
fate. He was cornered in the build
| ing, but managed to escape, leaving
all of his baggage behind him, which
was searched, resulting in finding that
the negro had been operating his
schemes all over the south, confning
his forgeries to well-to-do colored men.
In some places he poses as divine
healer, doctor of divinity, etc. He is
a tall, brOwn-skinned fellow, and some
times wears glasses. He had the names
of nearly every wellto-do negro in the
state. The joke is on popular young
man here in consequence, Dave Smith,
who insists on being called 7. D.
Smith. the same name as the negro us
ed. Mr.. Smith has been taking {
prominent part in blackface work il
theatricals, and probably the coloret
individual thought by taking his name
he could get all the money he wanted

CHRISTMAS IS CELEBRATED AS the
SATURNALiA.
GIuttony and Extravagance Are lts Chief
Characteristics.

If the angels, who two thousand
years ago heralded to the earth that
peace which only the children have
realized, were to come back to the
earth today, they would find us cele-
brating Christmas much as they used
to see the Romans celebrate their Sat-
urnalia, that is, with gluttony and ex-
travagance, says Brand Whitlock, in
the New Idea Woman's Magazine for
December. They would not, of course,
find us laying aside our weapons, or
foregoing punishment or the putting
of people to death; they would find on
ly very few among our best people
seating their servants at table as the
Romans did, in imitation of the free
dom and equality enjoyed in italy dur
ing Saturn's reign. They would find
that the message which they sang so
long ago is not taken too seriously or
too literally. They would find few so
heterodox as to turn the other cheek,
and few of those having two coats so
unsophisticated as to impart to him
that had none; they would find, to be
sure, many who have no coat at all
and without much chance of getting a
job whereby they would get coat,
though they might find, if they had
the time and patience, that these had
been duly investigated and endorsed at
those organized charities which still
preempt the place in our society of or
ganized Justice. On this Christmas
morning they would still find men i'm
prlsoning each other and killing each
other, though they would find tnat
those nations that are foremost in the
killing and imprisoning are those that
sound most loudly the name of the
sweet and gentle Soul whose birth the
angels announced to the shepherds in
the starlight of that Eastern Christmas
eve. If they found the cross nowhere,
they would find the scaffold every
where, and in the more enlightened
and advanced States, the electric chair
and they might conclude that we had
made progress, at least in this, that,
after nineteen hundred years of Chris
tian civilization, men are allowed to
sit down while they are being killed
instead of having to stand up.
