admiral Evans arose today apparently
in better health and spirits, than he had
enjoyed In some time. For years a suf-
ferer from old wounds sustained in tho
civil war and from recurrent attacks Of
rheumatic gout, the aged GEhtcr seemed
to have shaken off the burden OF his ad
rauclng days. He displayed high spirits
at breakfast and ate q hearty luncheon
at noon.
While in his library al O'Clock the
admiral was stricken. Instantly mis- fam-

withdrawn from the market for this year delivery The whole tendency is toward shortage in supply and higher prices From every viewpoint there is a confirma- tion of the remarkable business existing throughout the country, not only in the iron and steel trade. but all other in- dustries.
 Immense crops will have to be moved, meaning greater pressure on the railroads, which, in the face of their present fn- adequate equipment facilities. will mean great hardships on the iron consumer. The country is face to face with the greatest can. shortage in its history. It has been stated there will be shortage of some 1s0.0o0 cars by october 25, pro- vided only that the amount of traffic handled in 1909 is furnished this year. As the amount of tonnage offerings is the largest in the history of the American railroads, it will be seen how serious this proposition is going to be.
 Coke is unsettled. prices are advanc- ing almost daily and the supply is short, due to lack of labor and insufficient car supply Prices in all districts are higher than they have been for many months and buyers seem anxious for supply for spot and future delivery as well"

motored on all the famous highways

motored on all the famous highways of Europe and America.
 Traffic rules and regulations, '' adds Mr Marx, should be printed by the city and a copy given to every driver in Birmingham. They should be made to study them, and if any fur ther recklessness is shown they should be dealt with severely. The drivers here run past crossings like a Twen- tieth Century limited. They do not stop, look or listen, although those three words have saved more lives than any other agency on earth. They hustle past crowded places without any thought of the other fellows"
 It is no exaggeration to say as Mr. Marx does that ones life is unsafe in our streets, and the commis- sioners are overlooking an important matter when they neglect to issue proper regulation concerning chauf- feurs. Better still they should pro- vide that only licensed chauffeurs shall after a season be employed.

Jefferson County's Fee System


 The newspapers in this state do not defend the fe system in Jefferson countv-not one so far as The Age Herald knows. There is general support of the pending constitutional amendment and it is greatly appre- ciated here. Surely negative vote will not be cast on the amendment when the newspapers of the state are pleading for an affirmative vote.
 "The best thought, the best citizen ship of Jefferson county" says the Montgomery Advertiser, 'is denounc- ing the fee system as an iniquity and as an injustice. Its defenders are only among the officials and theii hangers on, and they work quietly and in the dark. The amendment should be adopted and adopted by sweeping majority"
 The amendment affects no other county. and the indications are that the other counties will aid this county in getting rid of a vicious, extrava- gant and oppressive system. -

HANDKERcHIEF FLIRTATIoN

From Answers. London.
 It may not le generally known that a handkerchief language exists which is extremely simple. as well as being the language of exceeding excellence for the lover. Here it is:
 Should man or damsel press the hand kerehief against the lips, it signifies that they wish to become acquainted with one another. To let it fall is a stage fur ther. and means, Shall we be frtends?' If held to the right cheek the answer is '.Yes:'' to the left cheek, "No.' But should either hold it~ in both hands, 1t simply shows indifference.
 However, by holding 1t in the left hand the girl who does not wish to go any further in the matter, speaks, thouef, dumbly, the words, T wish to get rid of you" Or, on the other hand. if she folds the dainty bit of cambric, it signi- ties her wish to speak. Again, she may hold it at the opposite corners. which means just "Wait.' By throwingsit over her right shoulder, she gives permission to be followed
 Rubbing it against the cheek is declar' ation of love, while drawing 1t througf the hands is one of intense dislike. Wrap ping 1t around the first finger betokens an engagement. round the middle finger marriage.

Fate of the Republican Party

In these closing days of the cam paign it is as plain as the nose on a mans face that a political disaster of the most sweeping nature is in store for the republican party. Thous- ands of republicans in every contested state will vote for Woodrow Wilson. They may not admire him. They may simply desire to defeat the new pro- gressive party.
 The contest, it seems, no longer holds out chance for defeat of Will son. The two wings of the repub- lican party are now fighting solely for ascendancy in the old organization. It is now a ques- tion in the old party whether the progressives or the old guard shall take charge of the wreck after cleo tion day. In states that show consid- erable progressive strength, as in Cal ifornia and Illinois, thousands of re- publicans will vote for Wilson, but where no such result is feared the two factions will fight for control in the next four years.
 No greater political disaster has overtaken a great political party since the war days. It is complete and there is no help for it. The case is without a remedy. But the two frag- ments are glaring at each other and they will continue to do so until the ballots are cast and counted.
 What then will be the fate of the republican party? It will either fall into the hands of the reactionaries, or else the reactionaries will pass out of sight headed by Uncle Joe Cannon and the party will be reorganized by the progressives. The latter contingency is by far the more probable of the two.

SALARIES ON THE STAGE

From the New York Evening World.
 David Warfeld began as an usher in California theatres Eleven years ago he was paid s75 week at Keiths Union Square theatre. Today he would refuse 50 times as much.
 The four Cohans-who included the ef- fervescent George, his sister Josephine and their father and mother-are said to have been glad to revel in the 0nefits which a salary of $50 a week affords as recently as 1902. Today George alone could obtain 20 times as much, while Josephine has repeatedly been paid ten times as much. one could only conjec- ture as to what fee would be meted out to the -Four Cohans" today.
 Rose Stahl, who is now a shining light in the best theatres, a very few years ago took sketch. from which her play, "The Chorus Lady," was evolved, and was glad to try it out at Proctor's theatre in West Twenty-third street, without any compensation, whatever. The same IS true of Victor Moore, who, few years ago received S125 a week for himself and the supporting company.
 
 cry phase of the stage. Eva Tanguay several years ago was content to receive one-tenth of the s25O0 which she finds in her pay envelope at the end of every week, while Gertrude Hoffmann, who last year signed contract by which she was to obtain $105 for 90 weeks in the vaude- vile theatres was unable to induce d manager to pay her sl5o week a few years ago.
 Annette Kellermann. known as the beautiful diver, was "discovered'' by B. F. Keith He signed her up for a long term at a comparatively low figure. Mir. Keith has accorded to Miss Kellerman an honorarium far in excess of that which his contract stipulates.
 Vaudeville salaries have undergone the widest 1uctuation of any in the amuse- ment field Lew Dockstader was paid s250 a week when he appeared in variety theatres throughout the sos. Within the past year or two he returned to the scene of his former triumphs and found 5000 in his pay envelope each Saturday night.
 Irene Franklin was a favorite in dear  old Tony Pastors theatre almost up to the time of Pastors death. He never paid her more than $75 week, and she was just as clever, too, as she is today. when at least 5000 is offered and paid to her for similar period.
 In the strictly dramatic field changes are not so marked-bur we find that in the early years of this century-at the Murray Hill theatre at Forty-second street and Lexington avenue, a small stock company was making bid for public favor. In this organization there were four young ladies-who had pre- viously been unknown 10 fame. These were Frances Starr, Dorothy Donnelly, Laura Hope Crews and Alice Johnson. The combined salaries Of the four while at this theatre did not amount to S250 a week, and the largest portion of this amount was paid to Miss Johnson.
 Today Miss Starr is a David Belasco star" Miss Donnelly has scored a sem sational hit in Madame X' and other plays. Miss Crews was the distinguishing feature at the Garrick theatre in the sue cessful comedy, Her Husbands Wife"

A MISGUIDED swINDLER

From the Journal of the American Med ical Association.
 An enterprising swindler in England has
 recently been arrested for selling dried peas as Little Liver Pills" They were sold on the assurance that they were "ex- cellent medicine" Of course dried peas are not an excellent medicine" neither will they cure liver trouble' but the
 same may be said of the many ''liver
 pills" which contain drugs and are sold
 under claims even more fraudulent. The
 British swindler should have been better
 Informed. When he/desires to sell liver
 pills" he should put some drugs in them
 ponsonous or otherwise. the kind doesn't matter. Then he can lie about his prod
 uct to his hearts content and he will be immune from arrest. In fact, if he can
 sell enough of them he may look forward to peerage. In Great Britain. as in the
 United States it is not the mere act of
 swihdling, but the method, that proves dangerous.

Recent Registrations in Two States

An analysis of the registration fig ures on the first two days this year in New York state shows that while the decrease in New York city was 6 per cent, the decrease in the upstate cities was 13 per cent.
 As a rule the decreases took place in the republican districts, thus in dicating a heavy stay-at-home vote in that party. The subsequent days of registration in New York state may change the story, but the chances are that they will not. The republicans are full of disgust this year.
 The.percentage of the population registered in Chicago has also fallen from 26 to 1914 per cent, but this IS attributed to the increasing foreign population of that city, and not to the apathy of the voters after cam paign well nigh II months long.

INTRODUCES OF PROHIBITION

From the New York World
 Royall E. Cabell. commissioner of internal revenue, is quoted as saying that there is more whisky stored in Kentucky than ever before and that the consump-
 tion of cigarettes has reached total of
 about 1,o0O,O000OO a month and Is still increasing. He attributes the increased
 smoking of cigarettes to judicious adver- tising; the increa<e of whisky he at- tributes largely to prohibition.
 The argument for the conclusion as to
 whisky is simple. Tt appears says the
 commissioner, that in dry territory, whisky. being of smallest bulk in pl apor- ton to alcoholic content, is more easily handled than beer. ale or wine. A bot tie of the one contains many more
 drinks than bottle of either of the others" He adds: 'I have been told the distillers would like to see the whole country go dry, as that would give then a monopoly of the manufacture of intox' |icating beverages.
 Sumptuary legislation never yet failed to have a recoil of some kind, ofter
 more pernicious than the evil the legis lation was designed to suppress. This seems to be one of that kind.
