her to doctor. He tended her a week

they arc at sea Many of the big inde- pendents who have been putting in their time in New York are getting sore. They about all the time they intended on the scheme and that if 1t does not speed fly materialize they will go back home and get on their individual jobs. They say that they can put in their time to better advantage increasing capacity and otherwise saving wood on their own re- spective wood piles than to hang around here waiting to sell out. This feeling is general and 1t may foreshadow an aban- donment of the project for the time be- ing.
 An impression seems to prevail among the independents that while J. P. Nor gan & Co., might take on the merger if practically completed deal were hand ed over to them and chance given for a big rake-off, the house Is in no mood to assume a position in which they might possibly suffer loss or prestige and oth- erwise take a real risk.
 It was rather amusing to watch the attempts to get up a mild excitement over the taking over'' of Colorado Fuel and Iron by John D. Rockefeller and his as- sociates. The fact is that Colorado Fuel and Iron has been a Rockefeller corpor- ation for several weeks. It Is quite likely that the Rockefeller interest was in- creased during the panic days when George Gould Is supposed to have turned over the bulk of his interest in the conn., pany to the Standard Oil magnate, ale

 The figure of MT. Hawey looms larger as time advances. He Is being given credit for having a hand in almost every feature of theatric railroad development these days. It Is coming to be regarded as dangerous to leave little railroads out over night lest he pick them up. One of the latest things in connection with MT. Hawley is that after he and his friends round out the Chesapeake and Ohio and Clover Leaf systems he will sell out the whole shooting match to the St. Paul, thereby giving that great system lines from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Canadian border on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the south.
 This St. Paul theory has been held in Wall street for a long while. and in cer- tain circles not altogether given over to idle dreaming there has been a convic- ton that sooner or later St. Paul would board The theory has been almost as persistent as the one connecting MT. J. !. Hill with a similar ambition. MT. Hfl thought pretty well of the idea at one time. but when he got sore on Erie he gave 1t out cold and fiat that he had no intention of coming east of Chicago.

 The freak municipal campaign now in progress in New York is not having much effect on local traction securities. This Is probably because of the feeling that no matter who Is elected mayor the in terests of the Ryan Traction combine will not suffer.
 The town is possessed of a haunting sus- picion that Thomas Fortune Ryan and his friends had influential voice In the making up of all the tickets. This sus- picion probably does injustice to the lead ing candidates who are earnest in their denials of all reports associating their names with the mysteriously working MT. Ryan. He may have had hand in the nominations without the nominees know ing 1t themselves.
 The presence of MT. John R. Walsh of Chicago has revived talk about the dis position of the Walsh roads from Chi cago to the Ohio. official denial is given of the report that the roads are to be sold to the Steel trust No doubt New York Central. Rock Island or some of the other big trunk lines would take over the Walsh roads at a price, but the price would have to be . low one.

though at that time this interest was by no means important as a factor of control. l.. M. Bowers, chairman of the Colorado Fuel and Iron directors, has been a John D. Rockefeller man for years.
 The same is true of F. T. Gates, re- elected to the poo baa offices of vice president, secretary and treasurer. MT. Gates is an ex-Baptist minister and has charge of many of MT. Rockefeller's char itable and educational enterprises. There is something peculiarly fitting in MT. Rockefellers almoner being in virtual charge of Colorado Fuel and Iron.

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
 ABOUT ECZEMA CURE
Read What Your Druggist Says About oil of Wlntergreen
 Compound.

The druggists of Birmingham submit the following to the readers of the Age Herald.
 For several years we have announced with our recommendation, that we had found positive cure for eczema; a sim pie skin wash, oil of wintergreen com pounded with other healing ingredients.
 Yet we know there are people right Tn this town who have eczema, and still have never tried this remedy.
 We have, therefore. arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special offer of trial bottle at 25 cents instead of the s100 bottle, as regularly sold.
 We offer this trial bottle with our rec ommendation and assurance that just as soon as the patient washes his itching skin this mild liquid will take the itch away instantly

believers. In the first place it is ex- tremely doubtful that the Steel corpora tion would pay % per cent of what the owners would ask for the property.
 Besides, there is no urgent necessity for the deal. The Republic is making money and Is squaring itself around to give a good account of itself It's main danger is that the management may be in too great haste to enter upon the payment of dividends on the common stock. Such action could only be for Wall street eff feet. In the second place, if the Steel corporation management had any real de- sire to take over Republic Iron and Steel 1t would probably be in no hurry to close the deal.
 It got Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad away from MT. Gates and his associates at just one-third the asking price-this by the exercise of little patience and the charitable seizure of an organized chance to "save the situation.' MT. Gates asked 300 for Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail- road, and was obliged to let go of 1t for less than 1oO It is now earning at the rate of 15 per cent on $100.O0o,o0O. a fact which tustifies MT Gates estimate of the value of the property.

Ono Train a Minute.
From the London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mall
 One train every 60 seconds is possf- biilty which the District railway is now striving to attain.
 To this end an extra signaling section is being put down at Victoria station, by which it is hoped to economize about eight seconds per train. When the last wheel of an outgoing train has passed a point alongside the platform. the next train behind will be permitted to come to the platform end. and when the first is clear of the st. tion. the second can draw up and discharge passengers.
 Tt does not mean" said an official of the line, that when we speak of SO sec- onds between each train. We shall have 60 trains an hour on the line, but that during the business rush hours trains may run once a minute on the busy part of the line between Mansion House and Sloane Square stations.

 The Senate will begin the week in an effort to reach a conclusion regard ing the terms of re-enlistment of the negro soldiers summarily discharged because of suspected complicity in the Brownsville affray.

New Orleans, January 31.-Efforts are being made by the local police to estab- fish the identity of a well Addressed strang- CT, who is being held here at the house of detention. The prison surgeon de- clares that the man is suffering from a temporary mental alteration, and this declaration is somewhat borne out by the strangers eating a railroad ticket to Bal timore. and then starting to devour his hat. He arrived here last night on the Southern Pacific Sunset Express, and was to have left for Baltimore on the New York limited, but his queer conduct caused his arrest. Letters found in his clothes were addressed to James Cocks.
