IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Mir, Steiner,s Outino,

Leo K. Steiner, the banker, who was a member of a Birmingham party in an out ing in and around Mobile, returned home Friday night
 we had fine fishing at Golden and great ly enjoyed the recreation, said MT. Steiner.
 ''We visited Mobile and found that city prospering. But while Mobile is growing very little new building is in evidence there. In the matter of building Birming- ham Is far in the lead. The fact is that Birmingham leads all the cities of the south in new buildings of the large and handsome class. And as a residential city Birmingham again leads. I would not exchange our South Highlands for any of the elegant residence sections in any other city in this county"
 MT. Steiner on being asked about the liquor traffic in Mobile said: From all accounts and from all appearances pro- hibiuon Is not in force either in Mobile or in Montgomery. l stopped over in Montgomery and learned that beer and whisky were sold there apparently without any risk on the part of the vender. Pro- hibition may not prohibit altogether in Birmingham, but 1t is certainly a dry town compared with Mobile and Montgom- cry"

GETTING OFF STREET CARS.

From the Worchester Gazette. The accidents of getting off street cars "the wrong way" probably cause the largest proportion of mishaps and should be the easiest remedied. This is peculiarly woman's error. One collector of stats- ties asserts that the habit is due to tight corsets and inability to step and bend the body lithely, and asserts that fashionable women are always more helpless than those poorly dressed.
 However this may be, the womans diff fculty plainly arises from poor physical training. Where any boy would know in- stinctively that he must let go the handle with his left hand, many grown women thoughtlessy use their right. The result Is a fall backward, if the car has not stopped
 To teach it's million or more women how to allght, the city of Chicago has opened a systematic campaign. The president of the city street railway. which pays 55 per cent of gross receipts to the city, thought he could save money for the company and the city by placing large signs on cars. Accordingly he wrote: Don't get hurt when alighting; wait till the car stops; all ways get off face forward" In addition he made two large pictures, which were spread on the side of cars beside the big lettering One represents the wrong way i of dismounting, the other the right way.
 Besides this the education has been carried into the gymnasiums. The physi- cal culture department of the public high schools has had apparatus constructed resembling a street car step and handle. These platforms are dragged around the gymnasiums by part of the girls, while others under tutelage practice getting on and off.
 A campaign of this kind need cost but l little. It requires but some pubic-spirited citizen or railroad officer to set 1t going. And where is the city that does not need

Miss Berry's School At 'POssum TrOt

If MT. Ogden's educational board wants to put some money where it will go a long ways in supplying education in the south it will aid Miss Berry in the work she is doing near Rome, Ga. She has 150 boys from the farms of upper Georgia who pay her $50 a year, and on that sum she boards and teaches them a year. She re- ceived from her father about $100,000, and she has put that sum into the school. And the saddest fact is that 200 more young fellows are waiting to join her school but she cannot receive them because of lack of dor mitory accommodations.
 No boy under 16 years of age is re- ceived, and no boy of any age who has had more than nine months of schooling. In other words, she seeks to educate the young American boys from the farms who have small school advantages. These boys from noun tain homes are of the purest Amer ican stock. They come from ancestors who were among the earliest English settlers. This stock has been kept from admixture, and it is today the purest stock in this country, and the best to boot.
 Surely from this rich country aid will go to Miss Berry in the admfraple work she is doing. She wants no laurels. What she wants is a chance to give the boys on the white farms better chance in life. She desires to carry to them school advantages on terms they can meet. This is where practical benificence and good citizen ship meet. This is where education and the boys from the hill country join hands. Those boys have heard of Miss Perry and her school, and they fully believe in the work she is doing Perhaps the ogden board will have faith in her also, for they re- gently visited her school on Possom Trot.

New nBirmiDeham SDeCIaIn

The Seaboard Air Lines excellent new passenger service is to be fol- lowed by a notable service on the Southern. From the heart of Ala bama to the heart of New York the new train on the Southern railroad Is to be known as "The Birmingham Special" And yet, Atlanta and even Montgomery people will be permitted to ride on 1t at the usual rates. They may grumble over the fact that Bir- mingham has a Special" to New York while they have none, but the conductor will not put them off be- cause they have grouch. If they pay full rates they are entitled to do all the grulnbling they feel like in- dulging in.
 The new train is to leave Birming- ham at 9:30 a. m., convenient hour, and it will arrive in New York on the following day at o'clock p. m, an- other convenient hour. That the train will prove popular and useful goes without saying. It is a tribute to Birmingham's centrality as a passen- ger center. Passengers usually follow freight, and good many passengers are needed to keep step with Birming- hams tonnage The railroads of the future will almost certainly consider | this city the passenger center of the southeast, and the new train is an things.

NO TIPS IN FINLAND,

From the London Morning Post.
 A country where there are no tips, and where small services are rendered to the stranger without hope of reward. would seem hard to fnd-yet such country is Finland.
 So far the tourist has not appeared in any great numbers, and consequently the commercial spirit which his advent all ways marks has been absent As an ex- ample of this Mime. Aino Malmberg. a Finnish lady, who is paying a visit to this country, tells an amusing story. Two English friends whom she had met while over here had been staying with her at her house in Helsingfors, and on leaving gave the maid a tip.
 She was very much astonished and did not know what it meant. Seeing Mime. Malmberg's son coming downstairs, she ran to him and said, "rhey gave me money. Did they give you any?' Hear ing that they had not done so, she was much mystified. "I cannot understand why they should give 1t to me and not to you, when they know you much bet ter than me-" was her perplexed comment on the incident.

CURSE THEIR GODS.

From the Kansas City Star
 Something new In the religious line has been discovered by traveller among the head hunters of the Philippines. This new thing is a religion that permits its fol- lowers to heap explosives upon the heads of its deities without fear of being sn1it- ten with divine ire for sacrilege. There are many gods on the head hunters Olympus; and, while he fears, he exe- crates them. Although he bends the pregnant hinges of the knee and bows the naughty head whenever he has cause to seek supernatural aid, he reserves the right to talk about his gods behind their backs, as 1t were. Whenever the head hunter ayails himself of this privilege there is no epithet too severe for him to hurl at the particular god that has aroused his animosty for the moment, possibly by ignoring some prayer that had been poured into his ears
 All of which goes to show, If such a showing be necessary, that human na- ture is just about the same whether 1t is demonstrated by a scanty clad individ- ual of an unaesthetic turn of mind and an ambition to lop of his neighbours head, or the highly cultured product of mature civilization. No Diogenes with spot light Is needed in regions less remote than the white elephant Admiral Dewey handed us to disclose persons who have only unltlnd words for those from whom they ask or expect favors True, the more civilized suppliant usually ex- empts his diety from criticism after having entreated a favor at the throne of grace, but may that not be from poll icy's sake? Belief in the efficacy of prayer carries with 1t In the thinking mind belief In the Supreme Beings power to punish irreverence, and such a knowl- edge naturally makes cautious person guard his tongue.
 That such caution Is not observed by the brush lwelers of Mir. Taft's pet provinces must mean that they are of an extremely low order of intelligence. Being so far from the rumble and roar of the busy printing presses and out of the beaten paths of the higher criticism lecturers, 1t is hardly possible that they have become so impregnated with the modern skepticism prevalent in more en- frightened centers that they have been shaken from the faith of their fathers and lost confidence in their fathers gods. It must be that the head hunters of the Philippines, when they curse their gods, only follow the natural human in- clination to exhibit a feeling of resent ment toward any person or being from whom favors must be supplicated. So, before the missionaries are rushed to the rescue of the benighted head hunters it l isrh he rnll "a lnnlt ahnuf hit

Annual Festivals.

Atlanta is justly proud of the splendid success of it's music festival held this week." said a Birmingham man who at tended that great event, ''and similar affair can now be counted on annually.
 "The Birmingham music festival the week before Atlanta's was altogether de- lightful-the most delightful thing In a musical way ever held here. We did not have such a large array of vocal arr lists as l heard in Atlanta, but I en- joyed ours more because we had more orchestral numbers and much finer or- chestra. But the point wish to make is this: Birmingham as well as Atlanta is practically committed to an annual festi- val. Financially Atlanta's festival was d record-breaking success, the surplus. after paying all expenses, being about S10, 900. This may not be duplicated next year, but high-class festival in every city can be made to pay, provided out-of- town music lovers as well as those at home take a reasonable amount of inter- est in the enterprise"

PURE IN ART IN PITTsBURo.

From the New York World.
 Pittsburg again puts itself on record as emphatically disappearing the nude in pictorial art. In the present instance the object of censure Is George Sauter's "The Bridal Morn," a canvas like MT. La Touches "The Bath," meritorious eonugh to have won prize at the In- ternational Art Exhibit, but like that work offending Pittsburg moral canons by representing the human form divine quite unadorned
 In each case the affornt to public morals has received an immediate and a severe rebuke. Pittsburg may tolerate the ex- hibltion of the human figure in all it's palpitating warmth. It puts no ban on "livlag pictures" and there Is no recol- lection of a clamor for more clothes for the lady, such as was raised in the Car negie Art gallery having been voiced in a theatre.
 The evidence the parallel incidents af- ford of Pittsburg's awakened public con- science will be welcomed. But Is the Steel City envious of Boston's pre-emi- hence as the civic censor of art that it seeks to outdo the Hub in regulating painters canvasses! The imagination falters at the thought of what might have been the fate of MacMonnies "Bac- chante' had that voluptuous bronze been exhibited first in Pittsburg Visions are conjured up of Puritanic populace drag ging the statue from Its pedestal and consigning it to meltingpot In the mills, for the protection of public morals.

Steady Improvement.

General prosperity is returning grad ually but surely" said an observant com mercial traveller. "The jobbing business has been decidedly better this spring than it was a year ago, and merchants in the middle and southern states are now more optimistic than they were few weeks ago.
 "The activity In the pig iron market Is good sign and the increasing demand for finished products in iron and steel is having a stimulating effect on busi- ness generally The railroads are slow in buying rails, but they will not re- main out of the market much longer. With improvement in various lines of trade idle cars should diminish and with freight traffic once more normal rail mills will hardly be able to keep up with the business that will crowd the order books.'

A BLACK HAND TRUST?

Deputy Police Commissioner Woods in the
 May McClure,s
 The Black Hahd is not cohesive, com prehensive society. working with myste- rious signs and passwords. Given num- Der of Italians with money, and two or three ex-convicts, you have all the ele- ments necessary for a first rate Black Hand campaign. In New York city how ever, there are so many groups of these Black Flanders that they have come in more or less close contact with each other. Investigation seems to show that the leaders, at any rate, of the different groups are acquainted, and that they work their schemes in harmony, especially when their extortion takes the form of commercial swndlng. In other words the situation seems ripe for the creation in the city of one fairly powerful organized so- ciety. A little police laxty, coupled with the appearance of leader of magnetism and force, would very likely bring about the formation of a Black Hand trust

nal that would bring back for a brief half hour or two a Prince Albert coat.
 This is a sock coat administration, and what the President and his cab met wear the people will wear, and there is no help for it. The frock coat is as good as abolished. Ever since the days of the bewigged and bestoclinged days of our early an cestors man has been going down hill in the matter of clothes, while woman has been wearing more and more fnery. When man is arrayed in a sack coat and a s2-derby he may be said to have struck bottom, but what shall we say of the raiment of the modern woman? If we look to the center of things in Africa what do we see? The female lion is but a big tawny, plain cat, while the male lion, dead or alive, has mane and a voice that is seen and heard round the world. There Is no use of look ing further for illustration. Man, the animal, is losing, despite all precedent, step by step his fine clothes, while  woman is gaining satins, and feathers, and furs, and diamonds almost without number and wholly without regard to price, So runs the world away, and mere man may as well don the sack coat, and say no more about it.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT AFFAIRS
 WHICH AFFECT THE BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT

shipments! Look upon the fakirs that are here
 Who is suffering? The real taxpayers of Birmingham. The merchants are the men who are paying the tolls in licenses and taxes upon them. They have to raise prices to do business. The men who buy goods that people must have and sell them to the people who must use them are those who must maintain our city gov ernment and keep it up. They cannot buy and sell and pay clerk hire but for a profit
 To thrash these things out in a practical way the time has come and I believe we have the one of the nerve, the sinew, and the brain in Frank P. O'Brien as mayor; and in another who supports and who knows and feels and who has the same great big good heart and generous instinct-tust like Frank O OBrien-in Harry Jones, the chairman of the Board of AL dermen.
 With these two-to hold the helm; whoever tries to shift the sails, there Is all aboard the craft of the utmost confidence.
 Both might have political or other ene- mics who might criticise me for what I say; but know every man. woman and child in Birmingham can believe that what these two men do is done for the best interests of Birmingham.
 And right here, word about the county. We have good and conservative Board of Revenue. There are good men on it. Now get out-take the bit in your teeth, so to speak, and do something. Build a big building on the jail site. Put the criminal courts and other courts, if neces- sary, in it. Put the Jail high up-10 or 12 stories up-and do something right. Don't destroy the beautiful architecture of the outside of the old courthouse Remodel the inside Make 1t decent. You have the funds. The county is able and can stand it. Build for the future. Birmingham and Jefferson county and the Birmingham district are too big and growing too much to be parsimonious. Get out and do some thing. Do 1t and there will be monuments to you-maybe before you die.

Frances Labor Troubles

In union not covered by the law 100000 government employees in France are on the point of trying to gain redress from grievances in an actual strike. These 100000 are em- ployed in the government postoffices, in the government railroads, and at the government telegraphs and tele- phones. They have organized them selves into a union under the law of 1884, although that law is limited to occupations in competitive" indus tries. The state, as an employer, per mits no competition, and the union formed by the government employees is not, therefore, based on any law.
 That fact does not, however, pre- vent it's utilization with the worl1men's unions that are organized under the law of 1884. M Pataud is the leader of all trade unionists in France, and he stands ready to assail the bour- geoise and all property rights. He is, In fact, a revolutionary.
 Mir Barthou, minister of public works, will combat any strike on the part of government employees, and the situation is, therefore, one of interest and. perhaps, of danger. M. Clem- enceau and republican France is again on trial. There are no imperialists and monarchists in the case. Time and common sense have eliminated all such exotics. The contest is between the plain republicanisin of M. Clem- enceau and the red-hot policies of M. Pitaud. While a deal of trouble may be threatened, yet it is not probable that prudent, thrifty France will aban- don order and justice in order to give M Pitaud and his followers an op- portunity to exploit themselves. The France of Clemenceau and Fallieres will not be upset But no doubt some of the wrongs of the government ein- ployes will be lighted, the chief one of which is the entry of the spells :, system into the countrys well settled civil service regulations.
