interesting and instructive lecture this

Girls Technical institute on the subject of
Mouth Hygiene" He gave very lucid
account of the diseases that may be and
are contracted by an unclean mouth and
dwelt especially upon the proper care
and protection of the teeth.
A general holiday will be given at the

tween the Senior and Sophomore teams.
Miss Rambaugh, the supervisor of foods,

Southern Furnaces Have Slightly In

Many Mills Closed Until
Monday

Cleveland. o., November 26.-(Special.
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
Owing to the light demand for all kinds
of iron and steel nSoducts. an unusual
vacation will be given TO many employees,
as mills generally will be closed from
wednesday evening until Monday morn
ing. Throughout the country general lack
of interest on the part of buyers con-
tinues and orders are being placed only
for immediate requirements.
Here and there indications of a slight
Improvement are reported, as, for exam
pie, two steel manufacturers in the Chi
cago district reported somewhat i'm
proved business during the past weeiS
but there is no general change for tile
better.
The Colonial Steel company is under
stood to have closed for 5000 IONS of basic
for delivery during the next four mouths,
but the terms of the transaction have
been carefully guarded. The usual quo
tation on basic is now sl3 valley. There
has been some further weakening in pig
iron at Buffalo, but in most parts of the
country quotations are pretty We'll main
tanned. Mary furnaces will not quote
lower than recent prices and as they can
sell only very limited tonnages at these
prices, the volume of business is prob
ably lighter than at any time during the
year.
Cast iron pipe companies, including the
leading company which is inquiring for
$4,000 tons, are still active in their nego-
tiations and some purchases of pipe iron
have been made 1t is not believed that
any large tonnages were involved In any
of the recent contracts. Southern prices
show considerable flrmness. Prices in the
Ironton district are weak.
A large tonnage of furnace coke has
been sold in the Pittsburgh district at
about 81 SO to .95 ovens for shipment
next year and for shipment next month
at 81 80 ovens can be done, while spCt
coke is sold as low as Sl.75. The outlook
is that many furnaces will continue the
policy of buying for monthly require
ments only.
Agricultural implement manufacturers
are very slow in specifying on steel bar
contracts. particularly in the Chicago dis
trict, and the market is extremely dull.
An encouraging increase in the demand
for sheets is reported IN tie Pittsburg
district and at Chicago and Philadelphia
slight changes for tho better have been
noted. Automobile makers are not as
prominent in the sheet market as they
usually are, but a very fair tonnage is
being taken by other consumers. Price
shading seems to be checked.

LOCAL ATTORNEYS
IN SUPREME COURT

montgomery, November 26-(Special.)
large number of leading attorneys of
Birmingham have been in Montgomery
this week attending the sessions of the
supreme court, which is now working on
sixth division cases. The docket from the
Sixth district is unusually heavy this year,
more cases having been submitted at this
term of court than at any time in the
past.
Among the Birmingham attorneys who
have been in attendance on the supreme
court since Monday are: John p. Tillnan
Alexander M. CARRIER, John Altman. e.
H. Cabaniss, Charles A. Calhoun, Judge
C. C. Nesmith, Judge Samuel d. Weakley
and others.

awarded TO the American Bridge COM
pany. The contract for section No 2
OF the Fourth avenue elevated, requiring
1900 tons will probably go to the Ameri-
can Bridge company. The new capitol
for the state of Missouri, which will re
quire $500 tons. Will soon be awarded by
the general contractors, John Gill & Sons,
Cleveland.
Reports from England, Germany and
France are that depression continues in
these countries. with prices as a rule
tending downward Pig iron conditions
in England are stril1ingly like those in
the United States, with declining prices
and buying only for immediate needs.
There is general hope abroad in the great
producing countries that they will be able
to ship some of their products to the
United States. but the difficulties con
nected with such movement are general
ly recognized Although ii is not formal
ly announced, another decline of 81 per
ton, the fifth since June 20, has taken
place in the wire market.
New York, November 26-(Special)
The Iron Age will say tomorrow, briefly,
the situation in the steel trade is that
the mills are running at about two-thirds
of capacity, while new orders are coming
in at rate less one-third of capacity.
The policy at most plants has been not
to throw men into complete idleness. but
rather to reduce the number of turns and
to operate four or FIVE days in the week.
Some smaller companies have had alter
nate weeks of fun operation and shut
down.
Foundries have felt more the contrac-
tion in business in the past two weeks.
The recession in prices of steel products
is slow, contrasting with the rapidity
with makers both in Wales and at home.
Plate mills will find some business in
the large amount of repair work due t.,
the lake storm, and several new vessels
may be ordered to replace those lost.
There has been a weakning in wire
products and some increase in bookings.
Sheet mills have done more business
at the prices brought out by recent sharp
competition.
The Standard Oil company, following
its recent purchase of 100000 boxes Of
Welsh tin plates. is negotiating further
with makers bot hin Wales and at nome.
The competition of German and Bel
gian steel bars on the Pacific coast has
forced further reductions from the spe-
cial Pittsburg prices named for that
territory, sales being reported which
figure back close to S1.05 C, Pittsburg.
Southern furnaces have slightly in
creased their output of foundry iron. Re-
sale iron has been offered in the past
week at $10.50 Birmingham for No. q
while most furnaces are asking 81.
Basic iron in the central western val
leys has sold at sl2 IS at furnace
Philadelphia reports sales of 800 tons
of English low phosphorus iron at about
$3.50 delivered in eastern Pennsylvania,
with 81 freight from Philadelphia. Do
nestle sales have been made at 500 at
Philadelphia.

tioning. The section continues
by denouncing damnation upon
all who reject the new gospel.
This revelation gives ms truct:on
to Emma Smith, Wife of Joseph
how to conduct herself under the
new disDensatuon; that she re.
ceive all those that have been
given unto my servant Joseph,
Ewho are virtuous and pure before
me, and threatening her with
destruction if she did not. The
revelation comes, at last, to the
gist Of the matter and grants
lplurability of wives in these
words" And again, as pertain.
ing to the law of the priesthood:
if any man espouse a virgin and
desire to espouse another, and
the first give her consent; and if
the first give her consent and if
he espouse the second, and they
are virgins, and have vowed to
no other man then is he justified;
he cannot commit adultery for
they are given unto him; for he
cannot commit adultery with
that belongeth to him and tn
lone else; and if he have ten
virgins given unto him by this
law, he cannot commit adultery
for they belong to him and are
given unto him; therefore is he
JUSTIFIED.
Space fails to note all the con.
tradictjons, but I will call your
attention to one, Emma Smith is
commanded to receive lovingly
all those that have been given
unto my servant Joseph" The
past tense is used thus the first
revelation authorizing po!igamy
implies that Joseph had already
practiced it. Stranger still,
polisamy is expressly forbidden
by the Book of Mormon We
have the evidence from good
authority, being apostisized NOR
mons, that the mormon people OF
Utah we're the ones that are
guilty of the Mountain meadow
Massacre" where they dressed
like indians, and murdered over
one hundred and twenty innocent
enigrants that were on their
way to California.
The character of Oliver Cowd.
cry is too base to receive any of
his evidence as truth. No Mr..
wards, the reason you have
not taught po]igamy is because
lyour sect has been too closely
}closed in by the laws of our land.
Take your sect and turn them
loose in some place where they
are not restrained by the laws OF
this land, and they would soon
follow the course of the rest.
