From Walker County.

"One of the best signs that the miners strike is practically over comes to me in the shape of letter from one of the small commercial operators in Walker county" said a prominent merchant.
 q ordered carload of coal four weeks ago, and received a letter from the pro- prietor of the mines, saying he could not ship the coal because his men had struck. I have just received another letter from the same man, saying that he was now ready to ship me all the coal I might want. He said he was running on his full capacity again"

PROBLEMS FOR UsURPER.
MuIai Hafid Must Meet Great ObIiga.
 tions.

Paris, August 27.-The triumph in Mo- rocco of Mulai Hafid, whose victory over his brother, Abd-el-Aziz, has made him the virtual Sultan of the country, has been anticipated by France, and the ques- ton of his official recognition long has been a subject of consideration. It is recognized that it will be most difficult for Mulai Hafd to fulfill the demands made upon him.. but he will undoubtedly be obliged to take over the loans con tracted by Abd-el-Aziz and the heavy ob- legations resulting from the murder of the Frenchman, pr. Mauchamp, and the assassination at Casa Blanca.
 In the meantime France will adhere to her policy of no conquest in Morocco, and she will withdraw her troops from the empire so soon as anarchy Is at an end and peace prevails.

The Cruiser Birminuham.

Having but recently left the navy after service extending over period of nearly eight years, 1 have naturally felt great interest in the movement now on foot to present the cruiser Birmingham with some gift from the people of our city, said we'll known young citizen.
 Tt has so long been the custom for the city or state in honor of which a man. of-war is named to present a silver serv- ice to the vessel, that the idea of present. ing anything else is never thought of. l would suggest to the gentlemen interested in this movement that if the approval of the navy can be obtained (and I think it cam, it would be far more acceptable to every one concerned if the funds avail able for the purchase of the silver sery- ice could be so handled as to bring an annual income, which could be devoted to individual gunnery prizes for the mem bers of the crew of the Birmingham. 1 would also suggest to them that silver service, after the enthusiasm of it's pre- sentation has spent itself, becomes a thing of beauty for the eyes of the coln- manding officer alone.
 "On rare occasions the ward room of ficers use the ships silver service in some elaborate entertainment given on board the ship, and on still rarer occas- ions the captain brings it forth to add to the beauty of private dinner party. At other times, the service is securely stored away under lock and key in the sacred ness of the captains cabin.
 My idea is merely to suggest that the committee having this matter in charge could, if they would, take the initiative in plan which has been advocated by both the service papers and by many prominent individuals in naval circles"

PRELUDE.

PRELUDE. Sing a song of Autumn, With her dreamy days; Soon the hills and valleys will be thick with haze. All the prospect saddens When the year grows old, Though the selfsame story Has been often told. Sing a song of Autumn Erstwhile glories wane; Fancy hears a rattle On the window pane, Brought from northern mountains By the sounding blast, While the wrack of storm clouds Swiftly hurtles past. Sing song of Autumn, In a scarlet hood, Splashing flames of color As no artist could; Brooding by the river, Stealing OCT the plain, flushing as she passes, Summers throbbing strain.
