They stopped notices last week amounting to s, 600 bales, and the rumor is that all of this cotton will be shipped to Liverpool to get rid of it and clear the way for a further advance in futures here. Some considerable cotton has already gone out.
 Meantime, too, there are persistent re- ports of better spot demand at New Orleans and in parts of the Atlantic states with quotations very strong or higher. The certificated stock here Is steadily decreasing. The into sight figures this week are bulish. Supplies in and anoat for Europe are also falling off.

Cincinnati, March 4.--Negotiations between the Boltimore and Ohio South : western management and committees of conductors and railway trainmeE came to & conclusion today when Gen eral Manager c. c. F. Bent, for the company, declined to concede the gen- eral demand made by the conductors and trainmen for increases in wages.
 The demands of the conductors and trainmen were similar fin character to those made upon nearly every railroad in this section of the country although up to this time few lines have taken action.

It is expect ed the conductors and trainmen will at once proceed to take poll of the members of their organizations as to what further steps to take.

Washington. March 4.--(special.) .)--At a meeting of the House public buildings and grounds committee today a decision the meeting of the committee the chair man, Representative Bartholdt of Mis- souri, secured the consent of the Pres ident It was pointed out to the ex- ecutiye that many republican members lived in close districts and a new build ing for some of them would more than offset campaign cries of extravagance The bill, it is announced, will carry about si2, 100000. It will be a ''small bill' but the leaders readily recognize that it will be difficult to hold it down. As is the case with all logrolling measures enough votes have to be obtained to pass it which naturally precludes many members from sharing in it's benefits. Then. too, the Senate always adds goodly sum- It cannot be told at this time what the appropriation will finally aggreate.
 Representative Underwood today wrote to Secretary Babb of the Commercial club requesting him to confer with the mem bers of the club and appoint a commit

Underwood hopes to be able to ob tain from the committee although the bill will be a small one, enough money for a site. and he wants Birmingham citizens to lend all assistance possible. The proposed site will likely be located between the two railroad stations.
 Representative Burnett of Alabama is a member of the public buildings com mittee, so the state will probably be well taken care of

Steps Taken By Consul

Be- yond the fact that he had been sum moned to Washington on important bus mess by Minister corea of Nicaragua, nothing is definitely known here regard ing General AltschuPs trip, He will reach Washington early Saturday morn ing. t
 Followers here of both fhe Estrada and Madriz factions say they believe that General Altschul will aid Minister Corea in presenting prayer for intercession on the ground that the insurgents have no chance now of succeeding and that the guerilla warfare which they propose to wage will prove detrimental to American as well as Nicaraguan interests.

JUSTICE IS BLIND!

There to be something wrong with the 'weights
and measures of justice with the hand that holds the
scales and metes out the punishment.
As long criminals to be punished, long should
ev-doers be punished equably.
The goddess of justice is pictured blind, but it does
sometimes that the lady is also deaf and dumb
less asleep paralyzed and possessed of wooden leg
The inequality Of the JUSTICE emanating from
courts is we'll illustrated in two recently tried
In Illinois one man acquitted of the murder of a
young girl, whose bulletr iddled body found in a
Peoria (I) hotel to which she had been taken by the
man to whom she had given all that give
her honor He had taken her from her home to tell her
that their intimacy must cease and that instead of
ing her he had at time promised to do he brualy
informed her that another would be his bride.
He left her. The girl life wrecked and honor lost killed
herself The man was NOT GUILTY in the eyes of the
law.
But when to the other case note how the
law does punisfor crimes. In New York court,
the same day. young man sentenced to spend 30
years in the state penentiary FOR TRYING TO STEAL
$1,000 from wealthy mans house.
That burglary The law punished burglary of gold
and slver-or toothpcks. They ''property The
courts protect property with diligence worthy of
mendaton
But the burglary of young girls honor is different
matter altogether.
And driving her into suicides grave afterwards is not
killing her-in the eyes of the law
There would be less white slave" traffic to investigate
woman s honor propery," and the burglar of it
awarded his full measure of punishment

WORLD WITHOUT END

"Oh that had more worlds to conquer" cried Alex
ander the Great of Macedonia when three hundred years
before Christ the civilized world of the time Greece Asia
Minor Phoenicia Egypt Persia and India lay at his feet
But he died from overeatng and overdrnking when he
was but thirty-two years old
So the greatest world of all Alexander conquered
THE WORLD WITHIN HIMSELF.
1t in 1913 B. c. that he died-three hundred and
twenty three years before the coming of Him who said:
''The Kingdom of God is within YOU
We cannot all be Aexanders in the world without but
all be Alexanders in the ilmitabe world within
We need fear that shall conquer it ALL and sigh
for other worlds.
For yet was who sounded the depths,
crossed its wide spaces the glory OF its pnnacles
of light
Men will explore the regions of the clouds in the TWEEN
teth century, and the shall not melt their wings. Then
they will turn their eyes to the ground and may make
plain the great mystery of what stuff this earth made Of
But discovery will be great that of the infinite
extent strength height and depth, and variety of dea in
this HUMAN MIND AND SOUL-YOURS AND MINE.
Seek and We shall fnd knock and it shall be opened
unto YOU" Open the door of your being and find the
wonders that God hath prepared for them that love Him.
You are child of the living God now much you
will ever be- You need but to realize it.
To each He has given legacy that is without limit He
does not bind His cldrens feet They bind them them
selves in their ignorance The only unconquerabe world
is the in which admit defeat.
THERE is NOTHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW.
THERE is NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU THERE
ARE ONLY SOME THINGS YOU HAVE NOT YET
FOUND OUT; SOME THINGS YOU HAVE NOT YET
DONE.
God plays favores. Whatever riches of thought and
being that has enjoyed another may experience
But the boundess riches of the world within may be found
only by the explorer who has faith that it is there.
