Humphry Ward at a dinner in Soho, and he said to me with a sour laugh When a girl wants to retire from the world and be lost in oblivion she has to enter a nun nery.

MORNING..

The cold gray dawn Is slowly breaking,
 The wind howls drearily about; The married man, sweet nap taking,
 Is much averse to crawling out. He hopes his wife will brave the weather
 And maybe shake the furnace down, But while his lids are drawn together
 She lightly taps him on the crown And tells how fast the clock is ticking, How 'tis high time that they should rise He sees no earthly chance of sticking,
 So says, '"Tis latep' in mock surprise And ventures forth, shivering creature
 Some carpet slippers on his feet, "Half-frozen" writ on every feature
 Still, he obeys, cause he's discreet.

Birmingham Pays Top Prices

'I have no desire to make any kick, but I cannot see why Birmingham play goers are forced to pay 20 per cent more than other cities to see plays like Maud Adams presented here," said a prominent merchant of Birmingham yesterday. Understand me, I enjoyed the produc- ton of Miss Adams very much indeed. carried four people to the play and paid exactly s10. was so well pleased with the play that sent my parents S10 and invited them to see the show in their home town on me. The party con- sisted of four people, the same number that I carried. Yesterday received a letter from home telling me that the tickets only cost ss and they returned me s2.
 "In Birmingham the seats were s2.50, which is an increase over my home town of Nashville of about 20 per cent. do not think any such business methods gre square. I fail to see any reason why Birmingham should be made to suf- fer an increase like this over Nashville.
 My opinion is this: Birmingham in the world of amusement is looked upon
  ing here with show such as Miss Adams presented, figures that the house will be crowded. So he decided to add 50 cents to each person and thereby rake in additional profit.
 "If I clear per cent on my regular lines I feel like celebrating with a per sonal jubilee. But these show folks can float through here and pad the prices and Birmingham swallows it with becoming grace and without a quiver.
 q feel like I would have paid even s3 to see Maud Adams in her play, but that is not the question. I maintain that any such discrimination if shown on the part of railroad would call for all the maledctions of the trust busters and the greatest activities of the commerce commission.

The Iron Market

It is generally believed in local fur mace circles that the price of iron will move upward within the next few days. Inquiry is much more active than it was last week and more tonnage is being contracted for, but it will probably be near the end of the month before any thing like rush sets in. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report. received Tn Birmingham yesterday says:
 "rhe more active pig iron conditions which were in evidence last week, con- tinue, and the outlook is improved h. quiries and sales are increasing. Fur naces are taking orders for the first quar- ter and first half of next year, and this attitude is being appreciated by buy CTS, who are considering their require ments for that time.
 Prices are without change, although if would take but very little to bring about advance in the already extremely low and, in many instances, less-than- cost figures which are being endured by some furnaces.
 During October the decrease in pro- duction was estimated as being between 4D,VUU anu UVsVuV tOhst pTOQucllOn dL the present time is less than 245O0,OO0 tons annually.
 Tt was reported there was more blow ing out and banking of furnaces during the latter part of October than at any other time during the month, and this movement seems to be extending.
 Northern and eastern furnaces did most of the business during the month, with some very low prices existing in the valleys and elsewhere, which gave the market an irregular tone. This is not so much in evidence now. Coke is steady and is moderately ac- tive, with some furnace business under negotiation which will probably be closed this week. The foundry end is quiet >except where any inquiry now and then indicates an interest in six months or years contracts Actual business k l slight"
