Bessemer, May 30.-It is understood that one or more of the Bessemer furnaces will be blown in about the middle of June.
 It is also understood that the rolling mill will start up about that time. This information was gained from one of the high officials of the company and while he stated no regular time for the re- sumption of operations had as yet been decided upon, the large number of orders that had recently been received would make it necessary for at least one of the furnaces to be put in operation and most likely the rolling mill This informa- ton coming as it does from an au- thortative source. can be largely depend ed upon and it will no doubt be good news to the many men in Bessemer who have worked at these places and who for the past few months have had very little work to do
 While there is not much business be- ing done in Bessemer at the present time, the merchants and people generally a. pear to be in better spirits than they have been for several months and this in itself is an indication that things are on the mend.

HOTELS SHORT ON
 AMERICAN TRADE

London, May 30.-At this time of the year London hotel managers and all the West End shopkeepers usually unpack from the winter camphor their glad smiles for the American invasion," but this sea- son the smile remains In cold storage and from one end of London to the other ono meets nothing but looks of gloom and dis nal prophecies.
 The West End hotels, usually thronged with Americans at this time, are, with one or two exceptions, practically empty One of the leading hotel managers said to an American:
 "The steamship companies may report that the traffic will be larger than eyer but we don't believe such stories All the regulars are either here now or are com ing. But these regulars don't fill our ho- tels nor contribute largely to our profit They are more insistent for getting value for every penny they expend than even the English, and they carefully weigh the cost of every item.
 These regulars are of course, the bread of our sandwich, but the novice and occasional are the meat. This season will, in my opinion be the worst, as far as Americans are concerned, that we have ever experienced"

IS A MUSICAL TORNADO.
Singer Whose Voice Can Drown Noise
 of a Brass Band.

From the Indianapolis News. Late risers at the Grand Hotel were startled out of midmorning slumbers to- day by a burst of melody that flooded the entire hostelry. Loungers in the lobby thought a musical tornado had struck the place. Employees feared a human caliope had been assigned to one of the rooms. All were confused ex- cept Fred Zwick, clerk, who recalled that one of the early arriving guests was Bert Morphy, a singer with voice known by zwick to be great enough to drown the sound of any brass band.
 Just keep cool" said Zwick to the startled inquirers, that's only man with voice that can drown the din of a brass foundry. know him and can vouch for him. He's absolutely all right. Just listen to that melody"
 The inquirers paused to catch the words that were coming from one of the parlor suites in a cyclone of noise. The loudest singer in the world was try ing out his voice on one of the patriotic songs he is to sing in the Republican na- tional convention in Chicago next June. At the end of the song the singer wei comed to> his room some of the inquirers who had been startled by his voice.
 Come on in, boys" he said, I'm glad to see you all. Don't be afraid-I won't sing while you're here.'
 Thereupon the visitors found them selves face to face with the singer who campaigned for the Republican national committee in 1896 and in 1900, and who Is to furnish the music at the coming na- tional convention because he is one of the few men in the world who can make their voices be heard above the tumult of a gathering bent on nominating a Presi- dent
 Aforphy has sung with all the big bands of the country and has taken part in every national event of political impor- tance in dozen years. The Elks' con- vention at Philadelphia, the old-home week celebration at Buffalo, the Terri torial fair at Phoenix, Ariz.. the inter mountain fair at Boise, Idaho, the actors fund fair at the Metropolitan Opera House, the NebraslS State fair-all these affairs heard him last summer and mar veled.

it irritates the stomach lining.
The pain tells you that.
That is why the stomach fails

The result is, the stomach gets

Dieting is unnecessary.

And half of digestion takes place

It is not an easy matter to

There are plenty of ways to di-

A digester must deal with mix

1t must do all that the stomach

Kodol alone will do that.

David J. Block, a letter carrier
processes to have brought about by

fected after eight years of expert

Block has sprung on the Patent Of
fee, and he has some samples of his
work that are amazing to say the
least. Among them is bunch of
American Beauty roses, metalized FIVE
years ago. They are hard as rocks,
but perfectly natural in coloripg,
and when he opened the box to take
them out, the scent appeared to te
as strong as it is in fresh cut rose.
Going into the hall, the mailman
came back with his wife's hat. He
removed from it three hat pins made
of roses-one an American Beauty,
another a pink Tea rose, and the
third a white rose.

he said. "My wife he's worn them
constantly. They have been out in
all sorts of weather-rain or shine

He held out the three hatpins.
The odor was the odor of fresh roses.
Naturally enough, Block refused to
dlvulge the process by which he
thinks he has conquered the forces
