greatest appeal lies in the sweet simplicity
of it's title role which was exquisitely
played by Elsie Ferguson. There will be
captious critics. no doubt. who will find
flaws in the play here and there There
will be some who will hint at improbable
ity, some who will perhaps resent the de-
plorable type OF American manhood and
vomanhood that the author seems to
have felt called upon to more strongly
contrast with his royal personages, and
there will be those. perhaps. on the other
hand, who will reflect upon the painfully
human manner in which royalty and
those who bask in Its sunshine were made
to fall before the demands of ordinary
humanity. But there will still be the
vast majority who will lose sight of
these probable defects, and absolutely
c:-pitulate to the young Queen Of Herze-

existence possible.

life of a young Queen of Herzegovina.

royal matches are said to be made. She
has ideas of her own upon the subject Of

a young business man. who falls very
desperately in love with her. Soon after
her young king appears having fled his

CLABAUGH SUIT IS
 SET FOR MONDAY
SPECIAL HEARING OF OFFICIAL OF SOUTHERN WHOLESALE GRocERs' ASSOCIATION COMES BEFORE JUDGE LANE.

The suit of Hinton G. Clabaugh vs J. A. Van Hoose, president of the South ern Wholesale Grocers' association, is fore Circuit Judge A. O. Lane on next Monday morning at 9So o'clock.
 The case, 1t will be recalled, was brought up during the early part of April and the pleadings were set. Eff forts on the part of the defense to have the case dismissed on demurrers failed and Judge Lane decided that the prose- cution had made out It's case. However MT. Van Hooses attorneys asked for time to secure the depositions of cer. tain witnesses and Judge Lane granted lem until May 10, which Is next Mon day.
 Unless some unlocked for hitch oc- CUTS the court will proceed with the trial of the case on Monday. It is probable that preliminary arguments will consume two or three days. but il is believed that the testimony will be taken up by the latter part of next week.
 Mir. Clabaugh filed suit for $80.o00 damages against MT. Van Hoose as president of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association, averring that he was forced out of the wholesale busi- ness because he would not conform to the prices said to have been fixed by the association, which it Is alleged in the bill of complaint is trust or combine fixing and maintaining prices in violation of the sherman antitrust act.
 The case is one of national interest inasmuch as the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association is one of the strongest organizations in the country. and the result of MT. Clabaugh's suit will affect practically every wholesaler in the south. Local interest is keen and the proceedings in the case will no doubt be carefully watched through out the country.

NEW EXPRESS COMPANY
WelIs-Farso Has Opened Up Offices on
 Second Avenue in Birmingham.

The Wells Fargo Express company has established it's offices in Birmingham at 2oos Second avenue with J. G. Marston, as general agent, in charge. The en- trance of the new express company into this district is a matter of considerable innortaace inasmuch as it furnishes Bir- rninrham the convenience of three inde- nendent express services.
 On May a numbeF of important changes were to be noted on the express map. The Wels-Fargo company super seded the Adams Express and Southern Express companies on the Frisco sys- tenn lines between Kansas City, Mo, and Birmingham, including branches, thereby putting the shippers of Alabama in di- rect line with the 10000 miles of terri tory covered by the new company The Wells Fargo people also now supersede other companies on the entire Milwau- lee system and the Chicago, Peoria and St Louis railroad, and the company has also extended its service over many elec- tric lines in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

ENORMOUS SALES OF IRON RECENTLY Tonnage Since March Will Go
 Above 100000 STEADY BUYING MOVEMENT Activity in Iron Market Is Clearly Re- fIected in Industrial Circles
 and in Business
 Generally.
STEADY BUYING MOVEMENT

The pig iron market has now been ac- tive and firm nearly two months and in that time an enormous tonnage of Ala bama metal has been sold. Since the panic of 1907 there have been buying movements of more or less volume but until recently activity was of short dura- tion.
 The presnt buying movement began early in March, when the United States Cast Iron Pipe concern started the market by placing a large order with the Wood ward Iron company. Since the middle of March all the furnace interests in the Birmingham district have sold freely for second and third quarter
 It Is understood that the Tennessee company has sold the largest tonnage and that its contracts cover delivery for the entire year. While $1l 50 for No. ?. Birmingham, is now the general quotation. the greater part of the iron sold this spring has been at s1l. The Tennessee company and the Republic company quoted $11 up to about two weeks ago but are now holding firm at S11.5O.
 Based on information gathered from the
 
 ations not less than 100000 tons have been sold here since March; and some well informed men connected with the iron trade place the aggregate sales of pig at nearer OOOoO than 100000 tons.
 The Tennessee company is operating all four of it's furnaces at Bessemer and it is believed that Alice furnace, in Bir- mingham, will be blown in very shortly It went out of blast for repairs, but it Is now about ready for the torch again. The Sloss- Sheffield company is run ming five of its seven furnaces It's No. at North Birmingham, which has been undergoing extensive repairs, costing nearly, if not quite, $200OOo. will soon be ready for service and if the iron mar ket continues active will be lighted
 The Republic continues to operate all three of its furances at Thomas and there is no thought of shutting down either one of them.
 The activity in the iron market is clearly reflected in industrial circles and in business generally. The outlook is said to be growing brighter every day and it is felt that a good summer is ahead
