Metz In the Alps.s

The voice of Al H. Wilson has lost none of its sweetness and golden purity since he was lost heard in Birmingham, but there is still that same soft and pleasing tone of melody that has made Metz one of the favorite singers throughout the country.
 MT. Wilson's play, Metz In the Alps, v drew large crowd at the Jefferson the atre last night and the audience, fully appreciative, applauded every song and every scene with the greatest enthusiasm. From the time when Metz becomes a mill owner in the first act and loses what he holds most dear, his wife, through his AL pine journey, his duel with Simon Fren- gel, until he rescues his wife and they return happily to their home, the aud fence followed the trend of the story with evident interest. The action of the play, being laid in the Englsh lace mill, makes the performance interesting in its sim plicity; and the scene, laid in the Alps in Southern Switzerland gives oppor- 'tunity for the most beautiful and most highly realistic settings.
 Of coarse Mir. Wilson's songs are the one feature of the show, but it has many other strong attractions. The snow storm scene in the third act is deserving of nothing but praise. Several character parts fin the play are commendable, and little Miss Olive Wright, as Little Deutch- CT, took high place in the heart of the audience by her clever acting.
 Al Wilson's big hit this year is Fair est Flower of All. which he sings as only he can. Another hit is his coon song, in which he tells of events dealing in the most humorous manner with all times from the day of Adam and Eve to the day Uncle Sam licked Spain. He also sang several of his old songs, among which were Under the Harvest Moon." "The Winding of the Yarn and "Wil- Son's T,111ahV -

IRON SITUATION
 IMPROVES GREATLY
BUYING HAS AGAIN BEGUN AND THE LIMITED STOCK OF IRON WILL SOON BE EXHAUSTED AND CAUSE DEMAND.

Chattanooga, January 1A-Regarding furnace conditions in the south the Tradesman says:
 While the sales that are being made in pig iron in the south are in small lots averaging from a car lot to 300 tons, the indications are that the general conditions arc improving and that it will not be long before the prosperous state of af- fairs that was noted few months back will again be on. The buying appears to be on the part of consumers who have some contracts on hand which must be completed. There is resumption of operations at many mills throughout the south and in short while the necessity for starting up blast iron furnaces will be apparent.
 Since the first of the new year. but one furnace has been reported as resuming operation. though two other iron makers will be ready for the blowing engines to turn on in force in the next lew days The accumulated iron, es- timated at not more than 100000 tons, will be worked off some before the expiration of another fortnight so and when the furnaces go back into operation there will be a steady need for the iron.

About Bessemer Streets.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Will you allow me space to refute an apparent reflection on the city council and executive in an article in this morn ing's Age-Herald. The article in ques- tion, to my mind, reflects on the council by it's reference to the fact that they can at least agree on one thing, and that is the rotten condition of the streets of this city, I think that this city never had a more harmonious council than at present, and the entire body are perfectly aware of the deplorable conditions of the streets. The recent rainy spell which has been unusually severe is, of course. responsible, coupled with the fact that for some time past ashes have been used to repair the streets. This I consider a useless expenditure, and ever since the weather has allowed it, I had had the muck made by the ashes raked up and moved away, and in the past few days have used five car loads of chert at a cost of $20 care on Nineteenth and Twentieth, along one block. In order to cope with the stringency of the times, I am pursuing economical course as possible, and have cut off all hired teams. which reduces our teams to four in num- Der.
 Every citizen of Bessemer is fully con versant with the fact that the expendi- lures of the past two or three years have been very heavy. and that the city neces- sarily had to borrow money.
 I was elected on my avowed intentions of retrenchment, and have had to enforce it more rigidly than I first anticipated and while do not expect to let the city suffer, yet I expect to keep within the city's income.
 Your correspondent, by his article, will doubtless find many to indorse his senti- agree that my first consideration should be the credit of the city.
 I hope to see Nineteenth street paved in the. near future, and would heartily sup ness section. Until this is practicable, I intend to do everything in my power to keep up the streets in the city, and would not have noticed the article in give<the impression that our teams were eating off their heads and the men asleep on their jobs. Such is not the case, nor will it be, but just at present l, do not see the propriety of going to big ex- pense. Respectfully,
 W. L. RUSH, Mayor.

"A Yankee Touristv Tonight.

Henry W. Savage will offer at the Jefferson theatre tonight that favorite American comedian, Raymond Hitch cock, in the successful comic opera, "A Yankee Tourist" the book of which is from the pen of Richard Harding Davis, the lyrics by Wallace Irwin and the music by Alfred Robyn. MT. Davis has constructed a capital farce as foun- dation for the piece, thus giving it a plot richer in situations and of greater coh erence as a story than anything seen in the light opera line for many a long day.

The company in support is an eXoep- tionally brilliant one.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of above date, some one suggests that during the Confederate re- union, to come in June, you suspend the prohibition law and allow the sale of whisky that the old vets may have a good time while within your gates We protest against any such privilege being granted. We have been put to shame in the past by fhe drunkenness of our comrades on such occasions. Open your gates at that time and your city will be full of drunken men, who had nothing to do with the Confederate war. Noi No,! Don't try to throttle Judge Feagin with that proposition I know some true and faithful old veterans who will not go if they are again to be in line with stagger- ing comrades. Very sincerely, etc.
