Memphis and Prohibition.

Memphis is a fast-growing city of nearly 100000 population and is one of the cial point of view" said F. W. Allyn, who has lived in that town the greater part of his life, but its leading business men feel that it has been materially hurt by prohibition.
 Tt Is in the dry column against the wishes of a majority of its citizens, and consequently 1t Is wide-open town. How long that condition will continue 1t is hard to say, but prohibition in my opin- ion will never be q success

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 A girl stays innocent by keeping her mother from finding out what lot she knows.
 Maybe the people who invent women's s stays and hats could solve the airship problem.
 A man is just foolish enough to keep on asking a girl to marry him till she goes and does it.

 Birmingham men. as rule, are exeep- tionally well dressed" said visitor to the city yesterday. "One fact about the men that seems to be out of the ordinary is that nearly all of them wear their coats, regardless of the onslaughts of Old Sol, 1t seeming that this is one place where the old fable about the compar- ative strength of the sun and the wind would not be apropos.
 Tn most cities, even when the weather is as cool as 1t is today. the shirt sleeve habit which gained such vogus a few years ago stlll prevails to more or less extent, but on the streets of Birming- ham you see few men of the business class walking without their coats or with that garment on their arm. It seems that even the clerks seldom leave their places of business without their coats for any length of time, and to see man on car without his coat is rare enough to attract unusual attention.
 Tn my home city l often go an entire day without putting on my coat at all, except when am leaving home or return ing to my meals, and my work is of such a character that am on the streets very often. There l do not feel at all eonspicu- ous if 1 walk on the streets without my coat sleeves rolled up, but when l under took this liberty in Birmingham l soon realized that l was an exception among several hundreds of pedestrians on the main thoroughfares.

New York August 9.-The steamship Mercedes de Larrinaga arrived here to- day from Cienfuegos, Cuba, and brought not only a record cargo of raw sugar, but she was the first vessel to bring in any of that commodity under the lower duty provided in the Payne bill.
