SONG RECITAL THURSDAY.
Edgar L. Brown Will Be Heard at Cable Hall.

Edgar L. Brown, baritone, former res- ident of Birmingham but now a voice teacher in Hartford, Conn.,. will give a recital next Thursday night at Cable hall He was heard and admired in a similar entertainment at the First Chris tian church last winter
 The Hartford Post says:
 The song recital given by Edgar l.. Brown, Hartford's leading baritone, at his studio in Keeney Court, was keenly enjoyed by those who were so fortunate as to be present. MT. Brown possesses good voice, but in addition to that he has a method of singing, and a control of his emotions that is at once delightful and remarkable. Under the stress of fortissimo, or in the tender pianissimo passages, MT. Browns voice Is true, clear and resonant. His interpretation is in- telligent and sympathetic, never forced or marred by affectation. The pro- gramme was long and varied widely, from the songs of Giordani, Schubert, Gounod, Korbay, Mendelssohn to Han del, Franz, Bizet. Clay and Clough- Leigh ter. ''It is Enough" from '.Elijah," MT. Brown made very effective. and his star number seemed to be Handel's magnifl- cent Honor and Arms" But the ladies liked very much the songs of Woodforde Finden, of which MT. Brown sang five from "A Lover in Damascus" The re- cital was decided success. Mir. Brown leaves this week for an extended south- ern tour, giving recitals in the principal cities.

DRY SATURDAY
 AFTER EIGHT WEEKS
SEVEN CONSECUTIVE SATURDAYS PREVIOUS TO YESTERDAY HAD BROUGHT RAIN TO BlRMlNG- HAM-TRADE GOOD.

For the first time in eight weeks Bir-
 mingham had dry Saturday. Not pro-
 hibition' dry, but one in which the pure,
 undefiled aqua from the clouds did not
 pour upon the town in torrents. For
 seven consecutive Saturdays Birmingham
 had to slop about in the heaviest of show
 CTS, and the bright sunshine of yester- day, though tinged with slight touch of chill, caused the smile that won't come off, to appear upon the faces of Greater Birmingham's denizens.
 The sunniness had a drawing effect and , drew thousands of shoppers to the retail , district, the streets being thronged all day long with crowd of busy femininity. The seven Saturdays of rain proved a great drawback to the Saturday trade, and the merchants suffered heavily. But not the theatres.
 Gray-haired grandmothers, matrons, old
 maids, smiling widows, young ladies in all the varieties from sweet 16 to I'm on the carpet" kind, misses, and all the way down to wee tots scarcely able to walk, went splashing through the rain and slush to the several playhouses here. No matter how hard the shower was, not a one would stop under shelter for a few mo- ments to wait for slackening up of the downpour.
 The sunshine yesterday caused the whole town to brighten up. A good trade was reported by the merchants, while that snappy, brisk walk characteristic of Birmingham, but which has been missing l for quite a while took a new grip on everybody's neither limbs and sent him I hustling about the town.

PHIL PERKINS, TROUBLES
BY WALT ER HARPER.

Having nothing to lose, he readily agreed to my proposition.
 In less time than 1t takes to record the circumstance by the dim light of the Tombs' cell I had the stranger and my self in a cataleptie state. In this condi- ton I entered the body of the stranger and his poor soul was forced Into my abandoned carcas. Then standing erect in obeyance to my mystic power we re- garded each other with some wonder and embarrassment. The situation was so ridiculous that we both laughed.
 As I looked from the bright, alert eyes of the strangers body down on the shriv- eled frame l had deserted felt a pang of compassion for the soul that stared list lessly from the weak eyes before me
 q hope you feel better now?' I saw my old lips form the words and started at the strange sound
 Well, this is some oetter,' I admitted Your old body seems to be good and sound in every part though l detect a slight soreness in the legs as If they had been running, and I also feel sharp pain on the head as If that member had been used as a target in a rollingpin contest
 "Oh, well, you will get over all that perhaps. Those legs have been running some lately, but they are used to it. However, that is not half so irritating as this hacking cough and measly, cramped clay house you have imposed upon me But very well; it is all right. l will now throw the whole business in the river Goodbye, old friend"
 My shrunken old arm and bony fingers reached out for farewell shake and 1 grasped them with lingering pity.
 'I wish you good luck with my re- mans.'' continued the new spirit ill my old body, but I have one request to make. Treat my old tenement as well as you can while ycu are in possession of 1t. Who knows but what I may need it again for Identification. And, by the way, you may use the roll of greenbacks you will find in the inside vestpocket of my clothes. l would advise you, however. to destroy the letters you will also find there. Anything in these old garments you want? Any mementoes of loved ones?'
 NO; carry it all along with you-apd good luck to you" l answered as cheer fully as possible.
 A moment later l saw my old hat bob away on the rippes that had formed around the splashing of my rejected body and for some minutes 1 stood there re- 1ecting on my new and strange exis tence.
 I was aroused by hurrying footsteps and rough hand placed on my shoulder. In a flash irons were placed on my wrists and I awoke to the realization that I was a prisoner in the hands of the city de- tectives.
 Come along and don't make any trou- ble. We have had enough with you all ready"
 In vain I tried to explain that I was not the man they wanted.
 "Oh, well we will leave that to your wives. They wIll know and don't you worry.'
 A glance at the Tombs register, as l was hurried to my cell informed me that I was Phil Perkins and that l was charged with bigamy.

 ''She looked to be about or 10 years old" he said over the telephone to the undertaken. Everyone made a rush for the scene. The coroner's deputy was tho first on hand to penetrate the mystery. Excitement jumped in every vein.
 But searching was of no avail, until finally, launched on a stick in the middle of the creek, appeared the unluclxy corpse The doctor sat down on the bank and opened his medicine case. the coroner's deputy took out his pencil and pad, the undertaken opened the door of his dead wagon.
 Then the constable waded out in water up to his waist. When he bravely ap- preached the poor unfortunate he turned to the bank with muttered oath, threw up his hands and yelled at the top of his voice: "A goat! This actually occurred, but the citizens of Pratt City blame it all on the person from Warner, who could not tell human from a goat.

PIG IRON MARKET
 CONTINUES ACTIVE
NO SPECIAL FEATURE HESTER.
 DAY-TOTAL TONNAGE SOLD
 HERE SINCE JANUARY 1 SUP. POSED TO REACH 100000 MARK.

The local pig iron market is fairly active, but was without special feature yesterday. The tonnage sold here since January 1 reaches probably the 100000 mark. The $135O schedule is said to be firmly maintained by most of the com panies.
 Guy R. Johnson. vice president of the Alabama Consolidated, returned home yesterday. He reports that while in the east he sold about 25,OOO tons Of this amount a Philadelphia concern took 13 GOO tons or more
 The Wall Street Journal of Friday says:
 Manufacturers of foundry iron have concluded series of meetings in this city which were called for the purpose of discussing prices. production, and trade conditions in general. No official state ment as to what was accomplished at these meetings was made public, al- though it is understood number of con- ditions that if allowed to exist would have worked injury to the situation, were satisfactorily adjusted. One of the ques- tions discussed was the equalization of certain grades of iron.
 Manufacturers present at the meet ing expressed the opinion that as a re- suit of the conference a more thorough understanding now exists in the trade, and that from the low prices recently reached by iron there might be grad ual improvement in prices henceforth. Within the last ten days 1t is figured that contracts for foundry iron aggregatine between 100000 and 15o.ooo tons were closed. The prices paid for this iron ranged between. SIS and $1s.5O a ton. This gives a more solid foundation to the trade, and manufacturers seem con vinced that bottom prices have been reached.
 Tt is admitted that there has beer quite little underselling on the part oi certain producers, but this is always tc be expected in a market such as the trade has experienced over the last sew sral weeks"

 Poor child! Poor child!'
 Among the searchers was a doctor. a constable and an undertaken. The doc tor was going to try to cure the child if she had any warmth left in her body. The constable was going to search her body for some clue as to her murderer. The undertaken was going to bury her after the other two got through.
