there ought to be no trouble in finane- ing any meritorious enterprise in this country MT. Morgan rendered the country a great service in the days of the panic, and he has put the peo- pie of this country under new obliga- tions by his timely action in France
 Strictly speaking the steel shares are not to be listed on the Bourse be- cause of heavy French tax. A French syndicate is to buy and hold 100000 of the 5,000,000 shares, and it will issue its own certificates against those shares. Those rights can be traded in over there without the payment of any tax This roundabout plan is as ap- plicable to any other security as it is to Steel common, and dealings can in that way be promoted no doubt in other American securities. This is what gives MT. Morgans latest achievement far-reaching value and importance.

BUDAP ST.

Marie Van Worst in Harper's Magazine
 for June.
 Budapest, whose front is circled with lights like a crown, whose hills rise dark and featherly above the river, whose parliament buildings run along the bank and are second to none but Westminster Budapest, bright, flashing, gay, beauti- full, modern and rich, ardent and execu- tive, close-buit and amalgamative- blender of peoples-is the product of only a few decades, and yet at it's last ex- position it celebrated it's thousandth birth day. Pest, to the right of the river for the cities are twin and divided by the Danube-Pest dates back to 12OO; and Buda was the Ofen of the Romans. Buda climbs up the opposite hill, today magnificently new, but sown round with green crumbling walls that mark the passing of the original founders whose painted galleys came up the Danube from the Black Sea. The twentieth gentry civilization, sharply new and powerful must for moment be brushed aside and the Buda of medieval times put in its stead.

Holbein'S Masterpiece

Holbein's portrait of the Duchess of Milan is to remain in England. An unnamed woman has donated $200,000 and the coveted picture will remain in the national gallery in London. Some say the donor is the Duchess of Marl borough, who was formerly Consuelo Vanderbilt. This report has not, how ever, been confirmed. All that is known is that America does not secure the painting Our millionaires and billionaires are left at the post and Englishmen will continue to enjoy the art that has come down from the days of Henry VIII.
 A pure love of art may not have won this prlze. National pride entered into the incident, and the raising of 72, 1000 pounds was quickly accom- plished. The masterpiece of the great realist will not be carried across the sea and the national pride exults in the fact that for once the American millionaire has been routed. The gold and the previousness of the west en- countered English pride and the latter is victor So mote it be.

Courthouse and Jail

On June 19-a week from next Saturday-the voters of Jefferson county will ballot on the proposition 10 issue $5O0,000 of bonds with which to build a handsome skyscraper annex to the court house with a jail on the top story and $1O0,000 of bonds for court house and jail at Bessemer. The need of additional courthouse facilities becomes more and more pressing, and the insanitary condition of the present jail is one of many reasons why this matter should be no longer delayed\
 A new and spacious courthouse with all the modern appointments is of great practical interest to the people of the county. Those who serve on juries and those who are summoned as witnesses are entitled to such com forts and conveniences as belong to our advanced civilization; and the DOobiu Ol lNSN CHut, III IeopOnSe lO puD- lie sentiment, stands ready to provide the citizens of Jefferson a model build ing thoroughly adequate for this con- munity for 40 or 50 years to come. Public sentiment is in favor too, of providing a $10O,O00 courthouse for Bessemer.
 Long vexed questions will be easily solved by the bond issues and it only remains for the voters to turn out on June 19 and cast their ballots in the affirmative. Everybody entitled to vote is urged to keep the date in mind. Indifference on the part of the public might mean defeat by default. Be pre- pared yourself to vote and see to it that your neighbor votes.

cRAwFoRD,s FIRST BOOK.
Julia Ward Howe Tells What Prompt ed Author to Write His First Story.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 'It was through the encouragement of his uncle Sam Ward-my brother-that he was persuaded to become a writer. When this was first suggested to him he laughed at the idea. but we told him that this was the life for which he was fitted My nepbew's telling of the story of MT. Jacobs, a diamond merchant of simla, so interested my brother that he insisted upon it's being published, and the story appeared as MT. Isaacs.
 'It was at our home in Newport that this book was written. My nephew often came to me for advice while writing the book, and I thought it very good. It's worth was proved later by its popularity Together we used to read over the chap ters of Dr. Claudius,' which he wrote here at our home on Beacon street As young man he was brilliant and versa tile giving promise of what he was to do later.
 Like most men of American birth who spend their early days and receive their education abroad, Marion did not grow up an American, nor was he in sympathy with American life and customs. The people of Italy, however, among whom he chose to make his home, loved him and respected his work. Denying himself the social life, which his popularity of fered him, he set himself to the writing of books. He was always frail physically, and I think that the task he undertook was too hard for him, so that he died from overwork while still a young man. He was not a philosophizing man nor 8 poet but his work appealed to the peo- ple and they loved him."

Eighteenth Confederate Reunion

Veterans and sons and daughters of veterans are hastening at this writing to Memphis to attend another reunion. As each successive year sees fewer veterans in attendance at reunion the duty of the sons and daughters of the Confederacy becomes the palmer The sons and daughters stand in the line of direct succession, and the time is fast coming when the maintenance of the reunions will fall on their shoulders. The veterans and their sons and daughters should stand together until the last man who fought for the stars and bars shall have passed away covered with the glory that he shared with Lee and Picket and Forrest and Wheeler and all the other heroes of a mighty struggle against fate and heavier battalions. No true son of a veteran will desert the veteran in his closing years. No one who appre- ciates the chivalry of the men who stood for the Confederacy in the sixties will do anything to sadden their clos ing years. Let the sons stand true to the veterans.
 Memphis is ready to welcome all, be they veterans, sons of veterans, sponsors or their friends. The reunions need all-need the joint action and sympathy of the southern people as one body. The reunions have thus far commanded that degree of sup. port, and so they should bein the future After while only sons and daughters will meet each year, for death is the fate of all, and until then let every son and every daughter stand true to the veterans of hundred incardined fields

Strength of the Stock Market

Steel common led the way in the New York stock market in the early days of June, touching TO, a new rec ord. In May, 1904 it was sold below g. It seems to be settled that the open door" in the steel market has proven a wise departure, for it has in- creased orders for steel products, rails only excepted, until the mills are com pelled to work overtime. The Pitts burg steel mills were never buster than they are today. The Hartman stocks and Amalgamated Copper and various other securities are keeping step with Steel common. All are on the upgrade.
 The hesitation of the railroads in ordering new cars, locomotives and rails will soon disappear, and orders will no doubt pour in for them as orders have for fabricated steel The number of idle cars is decreasing, and when the railroads see that great crops are to be moved they will demand rails and equipment in large quantities. Railway expansion will begin again. The year 1910 bids fair to set all the rail mills and car and locomotive shops in operation, and all the rail mills may be started up early this fall. In 1887 railway expansion went on until record was established-12,- S76 new miles. That record has stood ever since. Possibly 5000 miles of new track will be laid this year, and in 1910 many waiting enterprises will spring into activity, and orders for rails will come alike from the old roads and from the new ones. Ensley's breathing spell will soon be ended.
