Also I will call attention to the in
crease cost of living under republican
administration. in that the box rent was
increased the first of the year, 90 per
cent? As to all these several things,
suppose the government needs the money
and needs it bad, or else why this per-

HIDDEN HARMONY.


He seemed to hear the sound of Tar
off music
That woke a tuneful echo in his heart
And led him on, through days of toll
and trouble,
To meet his fate and bravely do his
part.
A smile illumed his face when cares were
thronging,
A word of hope was ever on his lips,
AS one who'd say, Tomorrow holds a
promise,
Though now the heavy hand of sorrow
grips"
And still that music kept his faith from
breaking
And kept him toilfng stoutly on his
way;
And cheered him when his star of hope
was waning,
With thoughts of better luck in store
some day.
How many somher lives are made the
brighter
BY far-off music, heard but in the
soul.
That lifts a fainting wanderer to heaven
When storms dismay and whelming wa
tiers roll!

Penny Talks of Wrishtsville

w. F. Penny, manager of the larry
more hotel at wrightsville Beach, N. G.,
is In the city arranging accommodations
for a large number of Birmingham people
who contemplate spending their vacation
at that popular resort. Mr.. Penny, who
is friend of Capt. JACK w. Johnson
of the Seaboard, talked interestingly OF
the resort at Wrightsville, which is so
highly recommended by the Seaboaro
management.
Atlanta people who have been our
guests for several summers past are car
ried away with the resort said M
Penny. ATLANTA people are very discrim-
mating and this leads us to believe that
Birmingham people, who are PROBABLY
more so, will find our resort pleasant and
agreeable. We have every attraction that
has suggested itself to popular resort
managers and have every reason to be-
lieye that no resort is conducted on a
better scale than Wrightsville. We have
secured so many inquiries from Biz
mingharn that I came here personally
10 arrange for their accommodation.
hope Birmingham will think as highly
of our place as Atlanta.
Mr.. Penny, who is being introduced TO
tho vacation seekers by Captain Johnson
will be here for few days.

The s12 quotation for No. foundry iron
which seemed established about two
weeks ago. could not be maintained and
the market has been dull this week on
a s11 basis. 1t is believed by conserva-

tom has been reached. 1t is further
believed that with the adjournment OIL
Congress business conditions will i'm
nroye and that the iron market Will take
an upward turn. Rogers, Brown q Co.'s
Cincinnati report says in part:
srhere is continued activity and the
aggregate volume of inquiries and sales
is large. This condition is true of almost
all districts. Minimum prices are ruling
and the price situation is largely re-
sponsibe for many purchases at the pres
emf time. Curtailment of output is pro-
ceeding and 1t is expected will continue
until there is some marked reason for a
change.

certain. although the market for struc-
t1,ral material is reported good and A

that the silk gown OF the bench and

been adopted as u form OF mourning
at the death Of an English sovereign.
On the death OF Queeu Mary in 1884
the present. silk gown was introduced
as mourning aud. having been found
more convenient aud less troublesome
than the regular dress then worn. has
since been continued. The late Sir
Frederick Pollock 10 said to have ex-
pressed an opinion in reference 10 the

the death Of Queen Anne and have 81
remained ever since. American courts
adopted the gown along with the Eng
