NnrRaY'S UneroHned King

The last of the great trio of Norwe- Eian writers is dead at the age of T years. All three, Ibsen, Greig and Btornson, enjoyed worldwide regulations, and their books were translated and read wherever good literature is appre- ciated.
 Biornstjerne Bjornson was more than n novelist poet and dramatist, for he led the movement which banshed Dan Ish acting and language from the Nor rVeeian stage, and it was he who led up +o the sundering of the ties that bound Norway to Sweden, and that finally gave his native land an Independent nation ality. All these were peaceful revolu- lions, and they came about as the result of incessant agitation on the part of the patriot and poet who lies dead in Nor way. He was a consistent republican, e4iNA the terms by which he came to the throne were essentially republican, and he remained true to the day of his death to the new king.
 He lived long enough to see his books in prose and poetry and play spread to the ends of the earth. They brought him innumerable honors, but those henors never changed his rugged nature or his devotion to republican principles. He stood as high in European literary circles as Mark Twain did in America, and it is a remarkable coincidence that beth should died in a single week.

PRosELYTIZING THE JEW

From the Boston Globe.
 A man who thinks his mission is to con- vert the Jews to his way of looking a. religious problems was refused a license by Mayor Gaynor. From reading the navor's reply one infers that the chief objection against granting the license was the annoyance likely to be caused by the preacher holding forth in thickly set tied Jewish neighborhoods
 Rut the mayor did not dispose or the matter without making the following comments, which are worthy the con s,deration of all thoughtful persons in this age of tolerance:
 ''It seems to me that this work Of pros elvtizing from other religions and sects is very often carried too far. Do you not think the Jews have a good religion Have not the Christians appropriated the entire Jewish sacred Scriptures? Was not the New Testament also written en- tirelv by Jews? Was not Jesus also horn of the Jewish race, if may speak of if with due reverence? Did not we Christians get much, or the most, or what we have from the Jews?
 ''Why should anyone work so hard 10 nroselytize the Jew? His pure belef Tn inc one true living God comes down to us even from the twilight of fable and is one of the unbroken llneages and ira ditions of the world

KING OF SIAM COMING

From the Washington Post.
 .'The King of Siam, accompanied by his 40 wives and a large retinue Of at tendants and servants, is expected to ar rive in Seattle this summer" said G. W.. Walsh of that city at the New Willard.
 Railway agents in Seattle already are making great preparations to welcome the royal visitor and the 100 or more persons who will accompany him. and the Seattle hotels are figuring on royal suites to ac- commodate the lSingly visitor. An agent of the Siamese government was in Seattle last month making arrange ments for the arrival of the monarch.
 Ut is understood that the Siamese King will make an extended tour of the United States, and will be in this country about six months. He is coming here, accord ing to his agent, not only for pleasure. but to study American institutions and the people of the United States. It is re- ported that after making the tour of this country he will travel in Europe for about a year. This will be his second trip to the United States, he having been here when crown prince"

PlayWrieht Barrie'S Romance

Stranger even than the romance Of Jchn Ruskin. his wife and Sir John Millais. by which RusEin gave his wife to Millais and yet remained his friend, the author and playwright, James M. Barrie is furnishing a story to the world that almost surpasses belief. The wife of Barrie became enamored of Gilbert Cannon, a young dramatic critic This became known to MT. Barrie, and he took steps to procure a divorce, which left his wife free to marry again. He did not become angry towards either his former wife or her lover He is in fact aiding the couple to a speedy wedding, and to fair start in life He has given his former wife a fine home and has settled an income of $50 a year on her. He proposes, in short, to have the priv ilege of visiting them and of enjoying INeT COnpdHlOnSDlp. lie IS 10 act as the best man at the approaching wedding.
 Barrie married the woman from whom he has just been divorced in 1894 She was then Miss May Anser the actress, who appeared in his first play, Walker, London" produced r years ago. After the marriage, Mrs Barrie retired from the stage. and the tender-hearted whim- sical Barrie tried his best to make her happy, but failed.
 The singular story is not without dis dressing features. Gilbert Cannon sadly abused the hospitality of the playwright and yet the injured husband, after his recovery from the first shock, has stood by the couple with rare self-sacrifce ano almost unnatural unselfshness. Tn this MT. Barrie clearly outdoes John Ruskin and the action of the latter was con sidered the marvel of the world.

Of Vital Importance
sftfon.

It is reasonable to say that Birmingham has population of fully 125,OOo. An es- tinate based on the last school census and on recent postoffice statistics indicate a population of more than 125,00O; but no city will be credited in the census with more souls than the government enum- orators are able to, find.
 If Birmingham does not get full count the people who live here and who have most at stake will have only themselves to blame. The enumerators, it is believed, are discharging their duties faithfully, but they report surprising lack of CO., operation on the part of many household CTS upon whom they have called.
 Birmingham's showing in the census is of vital importance. Upon it depends the amount of the appropriation that Con- gressman Underwood will be able to get for the much needed postoffice build ing. The greater the percentage of in :. crease which Birmingham will show as compared with the census of 1900 the easier it will be to induce large capital to invest here and the easier it will be to attract population.
 If every resident is counted Birmingham might come into the census of 1910 with a population of something like 130,OOo. It will be a shame if by reason of indff- ference on the part of any of our peo- pie this city appears in the census tables during the next 10 years with a popula- tion of less than 100000 It is up to the people,

LOW NECK DRESS STORY

From the Kansas City Journai.
 Sheridan Ploughe of Hutchinson recent ly returned from a trip to Panama, taken to see how Uncle Sam is building the big ditch He stopped at New Orleans to have a look at the Mardi Gras.
 'They have two institutions in New Orleans that seem to be to the manner horn," said Ploughe the other day 'They think they have a monopoly on these One is the French opera and the other is the Mardi Gras They say that the opera is the leading feature of their so- cial life. For over 90 years they have had this kind of music and l rather thlnk now it is honored more for its age than for anything else. Some of our party went to the opera. Some stayed at home. Those who went congratulated those who stayed When the opera had its highest run it was about all there was to New Orleans society. Not to be sub scriber, or at least not to be a regular at tendant, was tantamount to being ig- nored by society, and to being looked up- on as a person lacking in taste. It was sv ell affair on each Tuesday and Satur- day night-full dress, head waiter clothes and white gloves for the men and for the women all that New Orleans society would stand for. The display of undress was positively startling to stranger All of which reminds me of Jerry Simp-- son. He attended a swell social function in Washington. and his wife. who had not attended, asked Jerry when he got home how the women were dressed. The ouick-witted Jerry replied; Well, my dear, I cannot tell you. l did not look iIrder the table"

The Iron Market

The local iron market continues
 quiet. There seems to have been a little more inquiry this week but trans actions have not included large ton mage Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati
 report says:
 The market is still in a state Of
 apathy and unless demand improves the latter part of April will show quite curtailment in pig iron production.
 There are expectations on the part of number of manufacturers to bank, or blow out in some instances, ani
 make needed repairs. So far there
 seems to be no let up in consumption and proper handling of the producing
 end would undoubtedly give better tone all around during May.
 Some recent inquiries of good size have not yet materialfzed Into sales and buyers, who came into the mar ket, have retired without making pur- chase, preferring to take their chances little later. The business for spot delivery in small quantities is not as good as it was a week ago, but wiSli the beginning of the latter part of the second quarter many consumers, who have done more business than they had expected during the first half of the year, will undoub tedly buy in increas- ing lots. Among the largest buyers
 have been the pipe companies who have been again trying the market and mak- | ing frequent purchases"

Coming Ohio Valley Exposition

The long, continued march of com mercial and industrial progress from east to west has left-flanked, and the tide of immigration and capital is now turned to the valley of the Ohio and to the south
 Cincinnati proposes to hold an ex- position beginning August 29 and ex- tending to September 24 to represent and celebrate this new trend of na- t!onal development. This exposition is to be organized on broad basis 60 that it may worthily represent the ohio valley and the southland, compris- ing 19 states holding 41,O67,455 people. President Taft will attend it and so will his successor, Governor Harmon, and Cincinnati will devote Music Hall

Australian Meats In New York

It is useless to go over tho laby. rinth of changes and causes that have made the home meat supply insufficient It is sufficient to say that relief can come from Australia as things stand today. The duty of one and one-half cents must be paid, and yet Australian meats can be imported and sold 8 and 1 cents under the prices of the meat trust for western meats.
 T.4e bringing of meats from Australia 10 London was not fully inaugurated until November 2. 1909, when the Mar athon brought in 1850 quarters in ex- cellent condition after steaming 62 days from Australia.
 This meat had been treated by the Lfnley process. This is secret pro cess that sterilizes the meat prior to shipment. and then 1t is hung in large chilled-bee chambers on the steamer The meat Is not frozen in transit but is simply chilled after thorough ster- iIization. Chilled beef commands higher prices in the London market than frozen beef.
 The Marathon is regarded as the forerunner of a great fleet of ships plying between London and Australia, and let us hope. between New York and Australia. In the colony of Queensland alone there were 4,321,oOO head of cattle in 1908 as against 2,543,- AT head in 1902. The supply is well nigh inexhaustible and 1t is believed the Linley process will make this sup ply available in both Europe and America.
 The ultimate consumer should vote | this fall for no congressman or legiSla- tor who will not pledge himself to vote, if elected, to put meats on the free list. Were this done the prices oi meat would be speedily marked down or cents a pound. This would ma terially reduce the cost of living, ant | it should become an issue in every congressional district, and in ever. state that is about to elect a United States senator.

Panama Canal Model

'The United States war department has notified the directors of the Ohio Valley exposition that 1t will send a topographi- cal model of the Panama canal and of the canal zone as part of it's exhibit to the exposition. which will be held in Gin cinnat August 29 to September 24," said a railroad official. Every little detail of the canal will be shown in this model, including the various locks and dams, a perfectly sealed reproduction of the large cuts that are necessary for the compile ton of the work comprehensive repro auctions of the cities and Notifications. of Panama and Colon at either end of the canal, and other details which practically give the spectator a bird's-eye view of the entire work as it will appear when com pleted.
 "The exposition will be one of the most attractive ever held in this country, and it should appeal especially to Alabama, as southern products will form an inn portant feature of the exhibits"

DOING THE LOBSTER PALACES

 While f'Mr. Feldman'' lives, he lives very high, and when he comes to die, he does 1t so quickly that he actually inter- rupts himself in the midst of ordering another bottle. His color changes. If he was purple, he turns mauve; if cream colored, lovely shade of pale green. An to flop over on the wine coolers. He has stopped ordering, so his friends know he must be dead.
 Obituaries in the next days papers refer to him as prominent clubman' or "wellknown man-about-town," and, like as not, mention hitherto (and hereafter) unheard-of wife, who lives in New Ro- chelle or Flushing. Several friends go out there to the funeral, but not one single head waiter. The friends think it would be nice to sing For He's Jolly Good Fellow with the service. On the way back to New York they .'roast' the widow for not providing drinks. Then, with pleasant sense of duty done, they return to the Lobster palaces. By night the Ten derloin has forgotten 'Mr Feldman' as completely as 1t has forgotten the old Long Acre farm. If people should trouble to investigate the mater further-which no one ever does-they might find that MT. Feldman' left, besides the trailing lady, the widow and the waistcoast but tons, six children and a mortgage.
