Mrs. Frank Leslie, who was for

great publishing business in New York
was in many ways a remarkable wO-

died thirty-seven years ago to-day
Jan. 10, 1880, and his widow imme-
diately took charge of the publica-
tons and carried them on with in
creasing success for several years La
ter she married the Baron de Bazus

York Supreme Court recently decid-
ed that the cause of woman suffra ge
is entitled to the $1,50O,O00 residuary
estate disposed of in the will of Mrs
Leslie, which had been contested by
the grand children of Frank Leslie.
Justice Scott, in his opinion, wrote
at is conceded that the decedent
(Mrs. Leslie), who appears to have
been born in 1886 or 1887, was the
daughter Of Charles Foliin. The pc
titioner (Arthur Leslie) alleges that
the decedent was illegitimate and was
the daughter Of a negro slave who
would have no heritable blood" The
court dismissed this allegation as un-
founded, and upheld the will.

 Having expressed his opinion of the boches, he turned and calmly marched back across No Mans Land to his own lines. Not a shot was fired at him until he reached shelter. The Germans were apparently too amazed to kill him, for they had already shown themselves without pity for workers who were not legitimate target for their rifles as this officer was.
 There was reluctance at first to call the Germans "Huns" in America, but they have earned the title and American people have realized at last that such incidents as the one recorded above show the German soldier in his true character.

Brave British Officer
 Scores German Snipers

A CHARACTERISTIC story of R British pluck is told by the correspondent, William Philip Simms, who is with the British armies ill Flanders.
 While the sanguinary struggle around Poelcapelle, and the now famous brewery, was at it's worst, German soldiers continued to violate the rules of civilized warfare by sniping at stretcner-bearers, using the Red Cross flag themselves to shel- ter reconnoitering parties.
 After 109 British stretcher-bearers out of 25O in one short sector had been killed in this inhuman fashion, an officer could contain himself no longer. Three stretcher men, bearing the Red Cross flag, were shot down near him. Stepping forward, ne seized Red Cross flag and walksd up to the German positions, Then,

Stock Market Is
 Over Its Hysteria

1T INVITED STATES STEEL com-
 " mon, one of the stock market leaders, dropped slight fraction be- low par this week, but there was a strong closing yesterday, and the probability is that prices will move steadily upward. It will be long time, perhaps, before the United States Steel corporations stock can again be bought for less than par.
 The corporation doubtless will con- tinue to pay big dividends next year and for several years to come. Wall Street has way of discounting events that affect the market. Of late when
 ever stocks have slumped the cause usually has been attributed to signs tof an early peace. In Germany's fi- nancial weakness, bankers of prophetic vision and keen insight see enough, they feel, to justify their prediction
 that the Berlin government cannot Ihold out another year. Peace rumors are in the air---in Wall Street to the effect that hostilities will cease before the coming spring.
 On the other hand the United
 States government is going ahead

THE GENT COMES BACK
l the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Wartime economies and war prices are teaching Americans to take care of the pennies. Popular carelessness about the odd cents has already cost the public millions. Tn many instances where the nimble nickel and the dime no longer sufficed to purchase a standard article, instead of the price being made or Il cents the jump has been to a dime or 15 cents. This will be accentuated when the war taxes become effective. Ar ticles on which a cent additional would more than pay the tax will in many cases be boosted a nickel just because people have got into the habit of think ing in nickels and dimes instead Of cents.
 In England, the half penny Is . much more important coin than the cent IS here. In France the sou, or cent, is similarly esteemed, and the 10 centime. or 2-cent piece, has its place. Easygoing America long ago discarded both the ? and the Scent piece. but if they were in circulation today they might save us heap of money.

 You have a most wonderful city here" said pr. Harry T. Inge, one of Mobiles most prominent citizens, who was in Birmingham yesterday. but Mobile can be of great assistance to you, and there is no reason why. with the hands of Birmingham and Mobile Joined, these two cities should not do wonderful things for this state.
 Mobile is having a great era of prosperity. We have 25,ooo more popu- lation than we had on the first of January. We owe one of your great corporations debt of gratitude for its expression of confidence in Mobile as point for shipbuilding. refer to the Tennessee company, which has ac- quired a magnificent site, ideally located, for It's shipbuilding plant. It has been a Wonderful stimulant to our whole situation.
 Tt is surprising, too, that so little Is known outside Mobile about what we are now doing in shipbuilding Five of our shipbuilding plants are big ones and one of them alone employs 2500 people. There is cigar box factory in Mobile which makes two and half times as many cigar boxes as all the other factories in the country com- oined. And yet you probably do not Know that. We admit that we are not properly advertised but outside of that you can bet that Mobile is all right and IS going ahead at merry clip"

Our Hirsute Wealth

Speaking of details. said Robert Bar ranco, did you ever stop to think how many million hairs a barber cuts every day?
 T think it was Sitting Bulls statistical secretary who figured out that there were 2127 hairs to the square inch of the average healthy pale-face's scalp. but the average probably has decreased to 1886 in these degenerate days of inces- sanity worn derbies and neurasthenfc wives, to say nothing of the high cost of living.
 Allowing 12O square inches to the aver age low-brow scalp, I figure there are 23S, ,320 hairs on the head of the ordl- nary married man, and 1,567, ,9S7 hairs per cranium if you figure on unmarried and untroubled individuals. Totaling up on a. basis of g haircuts a day q figure heavily on single men, because married men haven't as much money for haircuts as the other kind), I think on day of fair business I sever S4.495,7l4 individ- ual hairs.

Now Brisk Demand
 for Liberty Bonds

TROM all parts of the country J come reports of rapidly in- creasing demand for the second issue of liberty bonds, and it is safe to as- sume that by Wednesday, October "A, Liberty Day by proclamation of the President-almost, if not quite, all of the entire loan will have been sub- scribed for. Should some of the feder- al reserve bank districts be little backward, vigorous roundup drive on the day set apart for the purpose will bring great oversubscription.
 Birmingham's second liberty cam- paign is just starting, and as $1,5 ,500,- 900 of the $4,500,000 allotment had been disposed of prior to the liberty organization luncheon yesterday it should be an easy matter to raise the city's quota and more by the end of the week.
 What will make canvassing for the liberty loan less strenuous than usual on money raising occasions is the fact that the public understands the propo- sition. The publicity part of the cam paign, both from the Washington end and locally, has been we'll looked after.
 No one is asked to give a dollar to Uncle Sam; only to lend money to the government to carry on the war. Every holder of bond of this second issue will receive interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, and as the credit of the United States is ''gilt edge" the bonds soon will sell at a premium.
 A special appeal is made to wage
 
 workers and farmers to buy these bonds, and there are enough of either class in this country we'll able to sub- scribe for the whole loan if need be without depending upon banks or mer- chants, manufacturers or capitalists The vast majority of the American people are loyal through and through They believe in the war and will be willing to make any sacrifice to helI the government in this crisis. In dis posing of the liberty bonds, therefore it will be only question of reaching the masses as well as the rich.

WITH RAILROADS
Rx HOLLAND

nearly 15,000 passenger cars, a good many sleeping cars. 2OOO baggage cars, and 45OO freight cars Yet there was no interference with ordinary traffic.
 This could not have been accomplished had not the government permitted the railroads, under the control of the rail- way war board, to be unified that the highest economy of movement and eff ciency In service could be obtained.
 That the public Is responding cor dially to these new and formerly pro- hibited railroad methods is recognized by the railroad war board For that organization asserts that the public and especially the shippers are giving all the cooperation that is possible to the railroads in the handling of this in creased traffic. This cooperation has made it possible for the railroads to re- duce their passenger service by approxt- mately 25,O0O,O0O miles, In that way many locomotives many freight cars and great numbers of train crews have been so re- leased that they have been able greatly to facilitate the movement. This has all been accomplished under private man. agement The government does not con- trol and has not conscripted the rail- roads, It has done no more than to per init the suspension of the operation Of certain statutes which if they were en-
 forced would have made this efficiency impossible.
 It has all been very great object les son and the reasons are excellent for believing that Congress and the people are learning this lesson If they are, then the relation of the railroads to the government and to the people will be

with it's preparations on a large scale for five years more of war. That is simply because the administration is determined to take no chances.
 When the war does end many of the industrial plants which normally turn out wares for domestic use and which were converted into war material works and have been turning out munitions and other war supplies at fabulous profits, will have to go back to their former business. That would mean "slow down" in activities and sharp decline in the market value of inflated stocks.
 But the Steel corporation, while it has operated it's subsidiary companies at high pressure to meet the demand for war orders, will still have all it can do after the war in furnishing products for the rehabilitation of cer- tain countries of Europe.
 The corporations stock is not in Hated. It. will always have high in trinsic value and no matter how much prices may fluctuate in the course of market shake-ups it should, on it's "merits," be worth very much more than par.
