The Tiger.

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burned the ardOr of thine eyes?
on what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began TO beat,
What dread hand forged thy dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger. Tiger burning bright,
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
-tWilliam Blake.

Republican leaders Of New York state
have almost abandoned hope of electing
their state ticket this fall, and are con-
centrating efforts in an attempt to re-
tain control of the legislature. Much is at
stake as the next legislature not only
will elect a successor to Senator Depew,
but will also undertake the new congress
sional re-apportionment, which invariably
follows a federal census. Close observers
predict that the Republicans win safely
control the lower house.

GLAD THAT STRIKE
HAS BEEN AvERTED
Railroad Men Discuss Confer
ence in Washington
CONCESSIONS WERE MADE
Birmingham District Would Have Been
Seriously Affected if Agreement
Could Not Have Been Reached
BY the Arbitrntors

The announcement from Washington
contained in yesterdays Age-Herald pro-
voked expressions in Birmingham of the
most intense pleasure and gratihcatlon
that the trouble between southeastern
railroad lines and their employees would
be averted.
In Birmingham it has been known for
several days that the situation was de-
cdedly acute and that trouble would
probably result unless the agreement
was reached The Seaboard employees.
those of the Southern, Alabama Great
Southern, Illinois Central and other com
panies have been watching the trend Of
the arbitration conferences in Washing
ton with the keenest interest.
The failure of the arbitrator to reach
an agreement would have Irecipitated
strike which would have affected 1900
men and the natural consequence would
have been a complete Generalization of
business and traffic conditions in Bir-
mingham.
few expressions gathered indicate the
pleasure of Birmingham railroad officers
over the agreement.
E.. F. Stovall. general agent of the IL
lnois Central, said: Il am simply tickled
To death at the agreement reached yes
terday I am gretified very much to know
that no trouble will be experienced here
from a failure to reach some agreement
with those who wished greater wages
As l understand it the men desired in
creases with a maximum of 90 per cent
1 could not see how they could have
been allowed this and that is the point
of which l was very much afraid. AS it
was given today the men granted some
concessions and also the companies.
A D. Lightner, general agent of the
Frisco system, said 'While our lines
allowed the increase of wages through
q board of arbitration several weeks ago,
/ was very much pleased to know that
the agreement was reached yesterday.
The settlement means that erious trou-
BILE for this section has been averted.'
L. Sewer of the Southern executive
department did not care to be quoted,
but said: Il am of course glad to know
that no strike is to tie up our lines, but
as for any other features of the agree
ment it is not my place to comment or
discuss
J. F. Liston, assistant superintendent
of the Frisco: "A strike here at this
time would have been a serious blow to
the district. This settlement emphasizes
the paramount value of board of arbi-
tration, and 1 am glad to see the matter
settled, especially from standpoint of
the employees"
7. w. Parsons of the Seaboard Air
Line said: Il could have yelled for joy
when I heard the settlement had been
reached. While l have no information
as to the demands or the requests of
the employees, 1 did not care to see a
strike nor did l wish to see the line tied
: up with uncertainty. I am genuinely
pleased that at least the tie-oUt has been
spared the Seaboard and the SOUTH"

WILL JOIN FORCES
TO BOOST ALABAMA
RAILROADS AND AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT WILL UNITE IN Eff
FORTS TO GET DESIRABLE IMMI-
GRANTS TO COME TO THE STATE

| The railroads and the department o
agriculture at Montgomery will cooper
ate in disseminating tillage information
relating to Alabama from this time on
An agreement has been reached between
| the Southern railway, the Queen anC
Crescent route, the Louisville and Nash
vile and the departments of agriculture
that hereafter the soil information shall
be of a general character, having labe
Alabama and not confined to any spe
cial locality.
1t has been found that the question o.
immigration has suffered from the fac
that work was confined to settling up spe
cial towns or communities and as re-
suit large areas have gone undeveloped
and unsettled.
The plan now is simply to "boost" Ala
bama, bring the people here and let them
select the point which appeals to Their
individual sense of value To this end
the various railroads and the department
at Montgomery will have large exhibit
at the Ohio Valley exposition, which is
to be held In Cincinnati next month. The
exhibit will be arranged by experts from
the railroad companies and the agricul-
tural department. Every kind of fruit,
vegetables and small products that may
be grown in this state will be shown.
The various products will be labeled with
the one word, Alabama"
The efforts of the railroads to settle
this state with desirable persons has
struck a responsive chord in the state
which has been taken up by the agricul-
tural department officials.
1t is planned to have an exhibit from
Alabama at this exposition which will
be thoroughly exemplary of what may
be grown in this state. The exhibit
will be contributed to by all the farmers
who care to show their work 1t has been
given out by the department at Mont
gomery that every farmer in the state
is invited to send prize products to the
department in Montgomery free of all
charges The various personal exhibits
will be credited to the exhibitor with his
address.
When this exposition is a thing of his
tory the work of cooperation between
the railroads and the state department
will be continued without cessation in
the efforts to bring to this state those who
will contribute to the general prosperity.

Burglars Ply Their Trade

Admission, July 3.-(Special.) -Anniston is
experiencing an epidemic of burglary in
the fashionable sections of the city, no
less than dozen houses having been
entered within the past few weeks. In
this connection DR.. A. L. Scarborough
was the victim of a fruitless wait and
no little anxiety Saturday night. He
returned home late from a visit to a
relative to find a light burning in his
home, which he had left in utter dark
ness. On seeing the light he teephoned
for the police, secured a shotgun and
stationed himself at the rear door, while
a neighbor was placed on guard with
another gun in the front yard 1t was
quite a while before the officers arrived
but a thorough search of the house re-
vealed nothing and the strange light
remains a mystery.

not more pronounced than, Christmas,
