Pellaera'S FoOthOld In This Country

Italy has $1,000 pellagra cases, and the
number of cases of this stubborn and
almost incurable disease is increasing
steadily in this country. There are as
many cases of it in Illinois as there are
n Alabama. 1t knows no section. Cases
exist alike in New York city and in
New Orleans.
The disease still battles the physicians,
and only one thing in relation to 1t is de-
tsrmined, namely, the eating of corn,

Pig iron Curtailment In July

Fourteen stacks were blown out in
July, including one in Alabama The
stack that ceased to produce in Ala
bama belongs to the Southern Iron and
Steel company at Alabama City. Less
iron by 1895 tons was turned out in
July than in June. The reduction is
however, gradual. The sale of produc-
ton still exceeds 25,oOO,0O0 tons a year
No doubt August will disclose a further
curtailment of production, and after a
while demand and supply will be equal in
the iron trade. A bumper corn crop will
be felt in the pig iron market, and the
size of that crop will be fully determined
towards the close of next month
The furnaces in this district produced
in July 147,2S5 tons of coke pig iron as
compared with 1880 tons in June. The
percentage of decrease was larger in
this district than in New York or Penn
sylvania. The entire industry Is await
ing the stiffening of prices, and a boom

in orders both from the railroads and
from new building projects

sAEE TO Ely HIGH

From 1.-The Aeroplane in Peace and War,
by Charles Il Hamilton, in the Column
ban Magazine for Aug list.
The general public is under the I'M
pr, ssion that when the aviator reaches a
high altitude he is in great danger, and
may be dashed to the ground at any
momert The opposite is the fact. The
higher one sails in an aeroplane the
safer he IS for he has the chance, in case
his motor fails, of picking out his land
ing place ard gliding toward it. On the
other hand, ] will guarantee to sail from
the Battery to Harlem and return with
out soins higher than 80 feet from the
ground.
Another fallacy in the public mind is
that the aviator is continually fighting
air currents. Experience has taught the
aeroplanist that it Is unnecessary to
struggle against the currents. When they
are reached they are met much as a
navigator controls his vessel-in other
words, the air pillows, so to speak. are
ridden, and the craft allowed to right
itself, which it will readily do, for if not
forced it Will find its own keel.

SAM BLYTHE'S COPY
Famous Correspondent Has "Wierdo
style on the Typewriter

From the American Magazine
One has often heard of famous ex-
amples of noted geniuses whose hand
writing has been as enigmatic as
rebus, but 1t has remained for Samuel
G. Blythe, the we'll known political cor
respondent at Washington, to establish
a similar reputation for typewriting.
Apart from his achievements in litera-
ture, Blythe is famed throughout the
land as one whose typewriting Is worse
than his penmanship. The machine he
uses had its genesis in Buffalo IT
years ago when he was learning to
pot small game on the Buffalo Express.
No living man has ever solved his
method of producing copy, but from a
page Of his manuscript 1t is safe to
conclude that he adjusts a sheet of
foolscap in his typewriter. climbs to
position on the top of his desk and
then falls in the machine.
His office is in the Home Life build
ing, not far from the treasury, but he
can be heard writing as far away as
the insane asylum across the Potomac.
There is nothing impressionable about
his copy. He writes with firm touch.
When William Loeb, Jr., was bossing
the White House during Roosevelt's
term he received from Mr.. Blythe
letter which he was quite unable to
read. Loeb took 1t over to the experts
in the patent office, where all hands
passed it up. Next it was sent before the
correspondents in the Senate press gall
lery. They quit to a man. Loeb then
offered 500 to anybody who could de-
cipher the epistle, Sans immediate fam
lily and the editor of the Saturday
Evening Post being barred from the
contest. Nothing happened in the way
of a solution. Then the family was in
vited to get in, after which the gates
were let down to the editor of the
Evening Post The mystery
remained a mystery still. Eur eka Ask
Sam to read it! Sam tried. Don't
laugh. 1t was placed on exhibition in
the White House. WI Ting Fang de-
clared 1t to be a frag nent from the
odes of a Chinese poet who lived prior

FAMOUS TAVERN
Some Weird Stories Told About Noted
Pennsylvania Inn


From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
Slippery Rock, Pa.-The old Stone House
at the junction of the Franklin and Pitts
burg pike with the Erie and Pittsburg
pike is one of the noted historic spots in
Butler county. A half century ago the
great stage coaches over these noted high
ways put up at the Stone House for the
night Buckwheat cakes, honey, country
ham, sausage, Indian mush, doughnuts
roasted potatoes and mince and custard
pies formed the larger part of the menu
at this noted hosiery.
The building was erected in 1919 and is
still occupied. 1t stands at the cross
roads and is surrounded almost entirely
by dense forest. 1t was the first house
built possibly, on 1000 acre tract of land
taken up by the Mcclure family, and is
still in their name.
There are many wild and weird stories
connected with the famous house which
the old people In the neighborhood tell,
but they lack the elements which make
them true history. However, 1t is not too
much to say that previous to the civil
war strangers were known to enter the
old Stone House who vera never again
seen. These were in the days of coun-
terfeiters stagecoach travel, open gam
bling and open barrooms.
The old Stone House Is still a place
where people of Butler county go to enjoy
the chicken suppers, for which the place
has been noted in recent years.

Monisomery'S Pluck and Foresight

In the first week in September Mont

Three new barges and a fast towboat
will constitute the original equipment
of the new river service on the Ala

cotton. Twelve feet over the deck Of

money well spent. 1t may, too, wake

THEATRE ETIQ UETsrE
Timely Tips for People Who Don't
Know the Ropes
THE Lady From West Philadelphia" ii

THE Lady From West Philadelphia in
the Dramatic Mirror.
If your comrade pokes you in the ribs
at every joke in the play, thank him
politely and say that you like to be mas
saged after dinner.
If an actor isn't speaking loudly enough
for you to hear, Immediately start con-
versation with a neighbor, so he won't
feel lonesome.
If man insists on going out between
acts, arrange your feet so he will trlp
over them as he passes you. Perhaps
that will teach him.
If you happen to be acquainted with
any of the cast tell everyone about it.
This will give the hearers a personal in
terest in the play.
If the shirtwaist of the lady in front
of you isn't buttoned, run your finger up
and down her backbone This will prob
ably attract her attention to the error In
her makeup.
If the boy in passing a glass of water
to you between the acts, spills 1t over
the shirt front of the gentleman next
you, tell the gentleman not to mind, be-
cause you really weren't thirsty any
way.
If someone comes to sit in the seat
where you have placed your hat, remove
the hat without a word. If he Is a gen
tleman your naughty silence will make
him feel the impertinence of his intru-
sion; if she is a lady nothing will have
any effect.
laugh audibly. Otherwise, he may think
you don't like the play.
If the theatre suddenly bursts into
flame assure your neighbors that there
is no danger so long as they remain in
the building. This will avert a panic.
If man steps on the train of your
dress in the aisle, hand him a transfer
ticket and wait for him to get off.

OTHER PEOPLES MONEY

From the Boston Globe
c. J. Wider, the young $50 a week
cashier who admits having stolen s6s0Oo
from the RussoChinese bank agency In
New York, gives banking officials sensible
advice when he says: You should not
put one man in charge of everything from
A to r. Having sole custody Of the
money of the agency he dabbled in stocks
until he was cleaned out.
As a rule ,defaulters are given every
possible opportunity to steal. Any bank
ing institution that has not certain
checks on the actions of it's employees is
not entitled to sympathy when the funds
are stolen. There may be robberies even
when there are checks on employees, but
the temptation to steal is generally re-
sisted when proper safeguards are thrown
around those who are handling other peo-
pies money.

Trade Prosperity In the South

The capital of the national banks in
the south increased in the last ten
years 104 per cent In Alabama the
aggregate resources of these hanks
was but s1s, o55,3s1 in 1900; now the
sources that aggregate s55,o14747.
Their resources have been nearly
trebled. The individual deposits have
been more than doubled in this state
In the 1o-year period.
The figures of southern foreign trade
are also promising. The exports at
Mobile aggregated in the last fiscal
year s21526,245 as compared with s27,-
S6s,714 in the previous year. New Or
leans and Galveston both lost some
values in exports because of a small
cotton crop, but Mobile did not. In
exports Mobile is outranked in the cot
ton states by Galveston, New Orleans
and Savannah only. Galveston and
New Orleans are outranked in value of
exports by New York only. The value
OF imports is gaining in the south, es-
pecially at New Orleans. In the last
fiscal year New Orleans imports were
carried in value to s55, 712,O2T. This is
very creditable aggregate, and 1t
points to still greater figures when
the Panama canal is completed.

CARLISLE'S DISTINCTION

From the New York Sun.
Tn the presidential campaign of 1896 the
late John q. Carlisle had the honor to
L be publicly insulted by partisans Of Mr.
Bryan. At the time Mr.. Carlisle was Sec
rotary of the Treasury in Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet and he was anathema to follow
ers of the financial genius whom the DEM
ocrats had nominated for President be-
cause Mr.. Carlisle shared with Mr.. Cleve-
land the odium of procuring the repeal of
the silver purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act.
The scene of Mr.. Carlisle's unpleasant
experience, but not of his discontinue,
was Covington, where on October % he
appeared to protest against the policy of
reputation involved in the declaration of
the Bryan platform for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to / and the acceptance of the standard
silver dollar as full legal tender equally
With gold for all debts.
Mr.. Carlisle stood up for more than two
hours against a demonstration inside and
outside the hall to break up the meeting
called in the interests of Palmer and
the national democrats, and he had his
say vociferously. Eggs were thrown at
the Secretary of the Treasury by hood
lums hired for the purpose. The police,
evidently in sympathy with them. were
numerous in the hall, but made no ar
rests. The police did, however, surround
Mr.. Carlisle at the conclusion of the dis
graceful episode and protect him from
mob violence until he could reach his
home. At that meeting in Covington Mr..
Carlisle dealt with the financial question
that was CONFUSING the nation with the
perspicuity soundness and vigor for
which he was distinguished, but passion
ruled the hour. He talked to the ignor-
ant, the crazed and the hypnotized. They
regarded him only as traitorand tool

A viaduet should have been built over
the railroad tracks on First avenue at
the Sloss furnaces long ago. The peo-
pie of Birmingham have been patient but
their patience is now well nigh exhausted.
The proposal of the railroad submitted
to the city is before a joint committee
of the council. composed of the street
committee, the railway committee, the
finance committee and the judiciary COM
mittee and it will be considered by this
Joint committee at a meeting TO be held
next Thursday night 1t may be that the
railroads ask too much of the city, but
the two sides should get together without
delay in order that the work of con-
struction may proceed.
With viaduct on First avenue not
only will life be safeguarded but travel
to and from East Lake and intermediate
points will be greatly facilitated and
property values will be appreciably en-
HANGED.
There should be no sparring for time on
the part of the railroads and no haggling
on either side over immaterial points
