MOre Orders for Rails At RnSlAY

The works of the United States Steel corporation are running at about 1 60 per cent of their total capacity. The mills that turn out products at lowest possible cost are kept running close to capacity. or more accurately speak ing, close to the orders that are com ing in. These plants are the Home stead, Duquesne, the new Gary, and the Ensley. -.
 It is a source of qualification to this district that the Ensley plants are to be kept going-certainly until April 25; and probably they will be kept in operation indefinitely. If reports from the winter wheat crop continue to be favorable more orders for rails will be received about May 1, and then re- ports from other crops and the pas sage of the tariff bill be trusted to bring in enough orders to keep the Ensley plants busy to the end of the calendar year.
 The Steel corporation is at any rate treating this district justly, It will do all the work here that the orders re- ceived will justify. At this time it is more than probable that the Ensley plants will go through a critical year without shutting down, despite the fact that Gary is now making open hearth rails. But Gary is long way from the southeast and still farther from the prosperous sections of the southwest. Ensley really has large field in normal times, and in these sub-normal times it will probably get enough work to do to prevent a def mite shutdown.

Where the Responsibility Rests

vote on the passage of the Payne bill is to be taken on Friday next. and in the meanwhile the House is to vote upon amendments presented by the. ways and means committee, and is left free to act upon the duties on lumber and hides. In all other re. spects the House is to have no voice in the shaping of a tariff bill. The bill is too weak, disjointed and tricky to be considered item by item, and the rules committee and Cannonism have stepped in to prevent, contrary to precedent, real representative ac. tion by the so-called House of Rep. resentatives.
 It is idle to say. however, that MT Cannon or MT. A1drich or any other congressional leader Is responsible for the worst tarin bill. all things consid-

Stake Our Thirst.

T hope this coming summer will find the city of Birmingham better supplied with drinking fountains for men and ami mals than at present" said a cold water advocate.
 If my recollection serves me aright I think it was stated last year that a fountain was to be erected somewhere in the center of the city, but as winter came on and there. was no great necessity for it, I suppose the matter was post poned; but 1t is time now to take 1t up again. There should be many such places in this city and If anyone doubts how well they would be patronized let him ob- serve how many people enjoy drink at the Davis fountain on Third avenue and Twentieth street.
 q saw woman today take four chill dren to that fountain and right eagerly did they grasp the cup of water, after which she took one herself. Judging by her appearance I should say that she could not well afford 25 cents for soda water for the children, but the fountain served the purpose. I have stood by water troughs to watch the keen de- light with which tired and thirsty horse plunges his nose into the cool water Dogs also are frequent visitors to these troughs, and even birds take sip out of them.
 while people may differ fin their opin- ions about the virtues of a dry town, I hope all will agree that Birmingham should be as wet as good, pure, cold water can make it"

It didn't take the catchers teammates but moment to jump on him, and when I left they had him down on the ground unmercifully beating him. I didn't try to interfere, as I considered he deserved every bit of the punishment he was receiving.

MAY PAVE STREETS.
Citizens of Gadsden Petition Council
 for the Improvement.

Gadsden, April 6.-(Special.)-The peti- ton for street paving, presented to the council last night by the property owners of the business section, made good im- pression on that body and there is no longer any doubt that there will be a prompt response by the passing of the proper ordinances as soon as the material for the work can be decided upon. Fully 75 per cent of the property owners to be effected by the proposed improvement are favorable to the project and there seems no longer any doubt that paved streets will soon be a reality.

The man who landed it is asking an exorbitaant salvage and this together with the cost of having 1t lowed back up the river is almost the cost of new boat and the old one Is really in need of being rebuilt. Altogether the commissioners considered 1t good policy to build new one instead of fooling with the old one.

Need for Drum Corps.

"As I witnessed the big parade in honor of the terminal opening today" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce last night, T was impressed with one thing which would have made it more stirring. Birmingham needs a couple of good, big drum corps for such occasions. There is nothing like noise to make parade of that kind a success, and while the four bands did splendidly, twenty-five men act ing as a drum corps would have been. a fine addition.
 "I understand that the Birmingham Boys club several months ago purchased a number of drums with the object of or ganizing corps among the members, but a suitable instructor could not be secured. Drumming would be fine diversion for the boys and they could be used to fine advantage whenever there was any marching to be done.
 Birmingham has already shown the good training given by the reunion. and I am glad to find that this city can now put on as successful parade as could be given anywhere. Today's affair was in deed highly creditable."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Many promises are made, occasionally one is kept.
 A lot of women seem to think it is bet ter to be tight-laced than straight-laced.
 People seem to be able to make good at being bad easier than at anything else.
 A girl can pretend to like to go walk ing with man so as to pretend her shoes don't hurt her.
 The reason a woman is so much smart CT in dealing with a man than he is in dealing with her is that he takes 1t for granted he is.

A Genuine Heroine.

''The ladies riding in the parade today reminded me of genuine heroine that I met while on Shades Mountain Sunday" said M. Well yesterday. we were driv- ing out over the mountain in our car when we met young couple riding horse back. The girl was beautiful rider and she was on very spirited horse. The animal became frightened at the machine and began to rear and lunge terribly, so that we feared for the lady's life. She retained her nerve though and even after we had stopped the machine and gotten out 1t took the horse some time to quiet down. The affair happened on the edge of an embankment which made it so much more hair raising The lady had kept herself under control while the horse was cutting up. but when she dismounted she showed the strain through which she had been. She was deathly pale and it took her some little time to regain her composure. In less than half an hour, however, she mounted and the couple rode off down the mountain"

CHARITY.

By Robert Burns. Then gently scan your brother man,
 Still gentler sister woman; Tho they may gang a kennin' wrang,
 To step aside is human; One point must still be greatly dark,
 The moving why they do it; And just as lamely can you mark
 How far perhaps they rue 1t. Who made the heart, 'tis He alone
 Decidedly can try us. He knows each chord, its various tone Each spring its various bias: Then at the balance let's be mute,
 We never can adjust 1t: Whats done we partly may compute. But know not whats resisted.

 THE TROUBLES OF A BARD. I've tried to sing song of spring. I've tried to sing of love And bloomy lanes where soft complains The cooing turtle dove I've tried to trip with Happiness. Adown the lane of dreams And wander still, my heart a-thrill, By iower-bordered streams. I've wooed the muse in forty ways And then some forty more; never was fin all my days
 In such a plight before, For every time start to rhyme And ask the gods to free me, Some fellow knocks upon the door And says he wants to see me.
 A GOOD EXAMPLE,. Though often beaten to the ground And sorely batt1e-scarred, He kept promise in his heart Of ultimate reward And while his dreams did not come true Lost was the prize he sought It did amaze the world to see How dauntlessly he fought
 REPLIES.
 The right sort of man never forgeta how his mother used to say, My boy" The trip down life's lane seems short enough when we are laughing all the time.
 The slogan of a fair-weather friend is. "Run when the storm breaks.'' We never learn to value a pair of eyes until they look the other way. The way of a man and maid is never past finding out, so long as there are neighbors around.
 Any kind of work is worth while, fl you put your heart in it.
 Everyone has some sort of cross to bear and it is surprising how light most of them are. PAUL COOK. "
