BirInin z ham md it's Hotels

While Birmingham has needed for sometime a large, modern. fireproof hotel of the palatial sort, and that it is about to have-it has greater number of hotels than any city of approximately it's size that I know of, said John L.. Daffron of Chicago
 When 1 was last here seven or eight years ago there were not many hotels of any kind, but now l am told that there are dozen or more-several of them very good, indeed. l have not been in Atlanta recently, but 1 am told that sev- eral new large hotels have been built there and that all of them are pretty well filled most of the time; but l doubt if the Georgia city has as many hotel rooms IS Birmingham will have when its Tutwiler, it's Motion and it's big apart ment house near the park are completed. believel one might figure out more than 2o00 rooms-probably 2200-ncluding the smaller class of hotels. l doubt whether Atlanta can do as well as that in total rooms, although it has more strictly modern hotels"

or no expense were the occupants to do little work on the front yards.
 Nothing perhaps improves the ap- pearance of a wooden house so much as fresh paint. There should be q general painting movement as a part of the city beautiful scheme; but as it costs something to keep a house we'll painted, considerable percen- tage of people in poor circumstances do not feel able to pay painter. In many cases a male member of the family might take few days off from his regular employment and do the painting himself. While the job would not be as we'll done as if 1t were executed by trained painter it would give the dwelling place much fresher and brighter look.
 Clean premises, flower gardens. green grass and houses in good re- pair freshly painted from time to time would make the city attractive to the stranger, and would have refining effect on the community at large. It is hoped that everybody will manifest an interest in the city beautiful movement and cooperate as far as possible.

Birmingham's Chances Bright

While the organization committee having the selection of the cities in which federal reserve banks will be established has until the last of the month to make it's awards, it will not be surprising to those in touch with the situation if the selections are announced sometime next. week. The committee consisting of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Secretary of Agriculture, Houston and Comptroller of the Treasury Williams have prob ably agreed already on most of the cities; but if so they have been care ful not to give out any tips.
 The nearer the time approaches the brighter Birmingham chances ap- pear. If the district which will em- brace Alabama is constituted so as to include Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis- sissippi, Georgia and Florida and that part of Louisiana east of the Missis- sippi river, Birmingham will be dis tinctIy the logical city for the reserve bank. It is not only central, but it has all the other things to commend it, notably accessibility from every part of tlse district.
 Houston, Tex, is almost certain to be a reserve bank center If a dis trict should be constituted so as to throw Texas and all of Louisiana to- gether, then the Crescent City would be the logical place for reserve bank; but those financiers who have studied the map thoroughly in con- nection with the banking resources and the necessities of borrowers, to meet which the banking and cur rency law was enacted, agree sub stantially in giving Houston re- serve bank and putting New Orleans in a district with Birmingham. Ev- erybody knows New Orleans is not only the largest city in the south, but that it is the greatest financial cen- ter in the south. But the whole ques- tion revolves around the arrangement of districts or regions rather than cit ies.
 Certain it is that the group of states proposed for district No. 10 is self sustaining from banking point of view all the year round, which is one of the requirements; and Bir- mingham is the center of this group

Is Birmingham II Musical City.

The question is sometimes asked, is BirminghaR really musical city?" ob- served an old music lover Well, it is as musical as most other cities of it's size, no more, no less.
 This has been poor season here. from the viewpoint of attendance at high class musical entertainments, but it has been the same way in all the other cities that l have heard from. Atlanta has grand opera annually, and everybody knows what great financial and social success the opera festival is. But outside of that event, Atlanta has very little music Many virtuosos and concert singers give recitals Tn Birmingham every season, but within the past two or three years no great recital artist has appeared in At lanta.
 If music teachers and advanced pupils would turn out to the fine concerts that are given here, box office results would not be so unsatisfactory The trouble is, teachers and pupils are conspicuous by their absence,

SENATORS AND BANauETs

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Four years of invalidism have turned the mind of Senator Tillman to funerals, fasting and fresh air. During these four years he has seen the vice president of the United States and 9 senators carried to their graves, and he is satisfied that they would have been still associated with him ir the Senate if they had not at tended so many dinner parties.
 It is curious how many persons who have outlived the efficiency of their diges- tive apparatus are convinced that death comes on invitations to banquets. Upon what meat dc these our Caesars feed that they should go too soon? Are not the viands wholesome? Doubtless one may eat too heartily, but no one need do so: a little trouble with the stomach is enough to make most men careful, and those who will not be are liable to over eat at home The banquet is not their bane.
 It is not high living, but the time limit, that has been carrying off the colleagues of the South Carolina senator. Recent political changes and the admission of several states have disproportionately in- creased the younger element of the Sen ate. Yet the senators are not young men, and Father Time, with his patriarchal beard. watching the hour glass, cannot but be busy among them. At 57 Vice President sherman died too early. But too many men who are obliged to live frugally and to exercise in the open air al. .1io Iira ion that MT. sherman shortened his days by sitting too long, before the terrapin and the fllet and the ices,
 Among the decedent senators to whom Mir. Tillman referred were Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, who died at so or above that. The latest of his colleagues to pass away was Bacon, at the age of 70. Senator Cullom, who died the other day, had retired from the Senate but only year ago. He lived S4 years, and for 90 of them had been exposed to all the fatal influences of Washington official life.
 Among the present senators are one of S5 years, eight between 70 and 80 and 13 between 65 and 70. Here are 22, several of whom are likely to pass out of this world within the next four years, whether they dine at home or in company. The greater part of the P senators who have died in the last four years were men well advanced in age, who entered the Senate when the average age was greater than it is now. New parties, new politics and new states have brought into the Senate many youngsters of less than 6O and we trust they will heed Senator Tillman to the extent of living cleanly and carefully. But they have already lived a good deal beyond the average, and the hour glass has been turned on them, and the scythe will be after them in few years, even if they give up smoking and dine only at home.

The Aspects of Fairies

Granville Barker, the playwright, having given his fairies golden faces, has run afoul of William Butler Yeats, whose poetical mind agrees with the Celtic conception of fairies who resemble human beings. In "The Celtic Twilight" MT. Yeats tells about description of fairies which was given to him by an old woman. "They are people like ourselves. only better looking, and many time she has gone to the window to watch them drive their wagons through the sky, wagon behind wagon, in long line, or to the door to hear them singing and dancing in the Forth"
 According to the old woman, the ] fairies are good neighbors and like most neighbors, if treated kindly, will rcciprocate. However, they don't like for people to be on their path and have been known to knock person down, although this was probably not done in a vindictive spirit Their 1 favorite song is called "The Distant Waterfup If you have enough inn agination, the chances are that when you hear the song of waterfall you can also hear the fairies lifting their woodland melodies.
 Another Celtic idea is that the fair- ies have cloven feet and they are called fallen angels because it is be- l lieved that when Lucifer rebelled against God a number of angels sup ported him in his recalcitrancy and were driven out of heaven. When hell was full great many of these angels were suspended in midair, be- 1 ing neither in heaven nor in hell, and l they are the fairies.
 However, the most popular and most general conception of a fairy is that of sprightly creature, dimuni- tive in size, who frolics by the light of the moon in flowery meads and sylvan dells where the privacy is in
 violate. Fairies are pretty in form and feature, nimble in wit, and al times disposed to be mischevious though good at heart. We may not witness their revels, though we may

City Beautiful Work

With the proper cooperation on Che part of the citizens and espe- cially the good women of this commu- nity the city beautiful movement will accomplish much good.
 City beautiful clubs distributed through Birmingham are more nu- merous now than in previous years, end the women who are active in pro- noting the work in question, backed by the city commission, are greatly encouraged. There is response on the part of householders among all classes not only in keeping back yards clean, but in cultivating flowers and green sward in the front yard. While the lawns of the houses in fashionable residence sections are noted for their beauty many an humble cottage could bs made attractive at small expense

TT HE story of how Charlotte corday.
 the humble country girl. became
 A French heroine by murdering Marat, the revolutionary tyrant, is gem orally familiar to all readers Charlotte brooded over the many wrongs that had befallen her countrymen and women through the instigation of Marat and she decided that it was her duty to put an end to his carnage. She was only 20 years old at the time. and inexper- fenced with the affairs of the world, yet she planned and carried out most un- usual plot to avenge these wrongs
 When Charlotte left her country home and went to Paris she set most in genous trap for her victim. She wrote to Narat: T have just arrived from Caen Your love of country makes me presume that you will Nave pleasure in hearing of the unfortunate events of that DOT tion of the republic. 1 shall present my self at your abode at 1 o'clock; have the goodness to receive me-"
 At the first interview she had planned she failed to gain admission to Marat's house. but she was more successful when she called in the evening. Marat resided in dilapidated house in the Rue des Cordeliers and he admitted her. The revolutionist was at his bath. Charlotte entered Marat asked her the names oS the deputies who had taken refuge at Caen. She gave them to him, and he wrote them down. Before they are a week older" he said, they shall have the guillotine'
 At these words Charlotte drew the knife in Marat's heart. She then drew the bloody weapon from the body of her vic- tim and let it fall at her feet.
 Help, my dear-help.' cried Marat and then expired.
 At this cry Albertine, the maid servant and Laurent Basse, rushed into the apartment and caught Marat's sinking head in their arms. Charlotte stood mo- tionless. Several deputies who had ar rived had her sent to Abbaye, the nearest prison. When she was examined and asked why she had done the murderous deed, she replied: "I saw civil war ready to rend France to atoms, and, persuaded that Marat was the principal cause of the peril and calamities of the land, l have sacrificed my life for his to save my country"
 Charlotte confessed that no one knew

NO scoop OLD DAYS.

Fannie H. Eckstorm, in the Atlantic
 Monthly.
 We may as well demolish the time-worn superstition that the good old times again are all we need to make us happy. There never were any good old times. Say not thou, what is the cause that the former days were better than these?" chdes the preacher. showing that the complaint is as old as human nature. Hear Homer: Few sons are like their fathers; most are worse, only few are better" If in Homers opinion-and he puts the words into the mouth of Athena, speaking in the guise of Mentor, double distilled wis dom-most men are worse than their fath- ers then upon what degenerate days must we have fallen. Given a length of time like that between ourselves and Homer. and the complaint falls to pieces of it's own absurdity.
 For one I like to believe that the young people of the coming generation are not less able or less earnest. not less willing or less devoted. than those of our own young days. Those men in buckram whom we boast of having fought, were they in deed so much more formidable than the giants in the path of the youth of today? Were we never towards on instinct" plumng ourselves on our "discretion?' l feel that we, the talking generation, might suffer in comparison with the youth of to- day, did not our memories so often play us false. Certainly not all of us have achieved even honesty and courtesy and common human kindness Did we all once have learning and wit and zeal? Where are our zeal and wit and learning now? Are our sons and daughters so much our interiors? No. by my halidome! And we know it!

OREGON BEGAN NOTED TRIP
 SIXTEEN YEARS AGO TODAY
NOW.

NOW.
 Today the Oregons trip may be safe- ly recorded as the only one and the last of it's kind. No other warship is likely to be called upon to make >he circuit of South America. Before another war can come to pass the gateway of the oceans will have been opened at Panama. Then a modern battleship steaming at. the same rate as the oregon, might make Jupiter Bay, Florida, from San Francisco, in less than 20 days She would not sui fer for want of coal, as did the Ore gon. She would need to refill her bunkers but once, and this while pass ing through the canal. During the eight to 12 hours passage of the isth- must. the engineers could repair or overhaul her machinery, and parma cles. the bane of high speed. would be cleaned. Thus refreshed, the bat tleship could dash across the Gulf of Mexico and into battle line we'll stocked with both fuel and ammuni- tim

THEN


 Sixteen years ago today the battle ship Oregon began the most remark able long-distance race against times in all naval history. On this date in 1898 it left San Francisco to join the warships in Atlantic waters. There was an effort to surround the Oregons movements with secrecy, but everybody guessed her mission and bets we're made on the success of the trip. Tension relaxed for a time after the Oregon appeared at Callao, Peru, her first stop, but it became the more acute as she steamed southward to- ward the Straits of Magellan, where a Spanish torpedo boat lurked and tempestouous seas made the passing of the straits hazardous. After SS days out of San Francisco the Ore gon dashed into the Atlantic. and up the coast, evading the Spanish war ships reported lying in wait for her. On the evening of May "A she steamed into Jupiter bay, having covered the 14OOO miles in CT days. The record trip made her commander, the now Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark, re- tired, national hero.

April To He Busy Month

Many people are saying that April will be busy month and that business will continue active throughout the rest of the year., said w. w. Browne of New York city.
 ',There has been considerable dullness in trade circles in the east recently, but there is decided tendency toward in- provement. In fact one can see decided improvement within the past week or so, and he is a pessimist, indeed, who does not look forward to the coming months with confidence in an industrial and com mercial revival. In the middle west, the far west and the south business condi- tions are very good indeed They are exceptionally good in the south.''
