Bessemer, September A.- Especial )-The National Steel Products Company has an- nounced it will rebuild the foundry pant that was burned down several weeks ago. The plant was insured. As soon as this is adjusted the construction will begin. This was one of the latest industries to be located in the city and had not been in operation many months.
 The products of this plant were steel castings of all sorts. In the manufacture of these large number of men in the district were employed. Among the stock holders of the company are number of Bessemer, Ensley and Birmingham people.
 Mrs Bertha Templin, who was round Monday night bound, gagged and chloro- formed at her home on Fourth avenue and Second street, has recovered suff- ciently to be removed to her home from the Elizabeth Duncan Hospital, where she was taken. No clue has been found so far that would indicate who perpe- trated the deed. Mrs. Templn is a widow and has two children. She makes her home with her mother and stepfather, Mir. and Mrs. H. G. Parsons, neither Of whom were at home at the time she was attacked.
 From every indication the motive for the deed points to robbery, as the house was ransacked.

The Birmingham Infirmary Alumna Association intend to erect home fol the young women attending the train ing school of&he infirmary the ownerI ship and management of which will in no way be connected with the IrI firmary. A lot has been purchased il West End across the street from th{ infirmary by this association upoj which to erect this home and a deed now in my office has been prepared conveying the property in trust to fivi trustees who shall always be Mason and Protestants and who shall hold thi same in trust forever for the soli benefit of the young women who shall attend the training school. In tht event the property should not in thi future be used for that purpose, then the trustees are to hold it in trusts al a home for the Protestant nurses ol Jefferson county who shall maintain

As stated the ownership and control of the homI is entirely separate and apart from the infirmary and with it's manage| ment the infirmary has nothing what| ever to do. As the alumnae of and institution show their love and respect for their professional or literary mothI CT by endowing and erecting buildings etc, so the young women composing the Nurses A1umnae Association of thu Birmingham Infirmary, actuated bd the same spirit, are giving their timl and energy toward this movement first, that the young women who shall give their lives to nursing may b1 comfortable and under homelike Chris tian influences while in training and second. that humanity may be bene fitted by more and better trained wom en following the profession.

"BOTTOM OF THE
 WORLD" AT THE ALCZAR

One of the most interesting dramas shown on the screen is the Sir Ernest Shackleton picture 'The Bottom of the World" which opens four day engage ment at the Alcazar theatre. beginning today The latest Sunshine comedy, "Farmyard Follies," featuring the ia nous Sunshine beauty brigade. will be the added feature.
 '"The Bottom of the World" is de- scribed as true pictorial version of Sir Ernest Shackleton s thrilling attempt to cross the south pole. It is that and much more-it is a contribution to geo. graphical research and lasting monu- ment to the courage and fortitude oi those hardy fellows who composed the Shackleton expedition.
 Pictorially speaking, it is wonderful; from a scientific point, it is unique. SC smoothly does it run, so even is the con struction, that one cannot possibly ap- preciate the hazards of the making oi the picture, nor can one gauge the siS- nificance of the contribution to human knowledge.

to the cynemac silence his own strong and quiet portrayal of a deep emo- tional role. There are few actors who possess the personality that is Lytefs. in The Price of Redemption" at the
 Rialto he is firmly establishing him. self for a reputation as foremost artist of the screen.
 Lytel appears in this drama as a society man of wealth. He is wonder
 fully adapted to the part, seeming
 typicaK in his society role, which also
 reveals him as one of the handsomest men of the screen. However, the theme of the story carries Lytel out of society into the deepest degradation. From being the rebellious husband of daughter of wealth he goes to the bottom of despair greater than his rebellion. His portrayal here is heart rending in its pathos. Throughout the play Lytel manages to pull at the heart strings of his audience.
