I have a certain reputation iu the world which will not bealtered by Mr. McAdoo's conviction that I am a black guard. The New York police have a certain reputation in the world and that also will not be altered by my conviction. 1 know my own business better than they do. I am extremely proud of having written the play. It has made me more friends than any other work of mine, especially among serious women.

Chicago, Nov. 1.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: The next 24 hours will determine whether Castro shall apologize to France for lim severance of relations with M.

He did not expect, nowtvtr, that any arrest would be mai.e for a day or two, in tiniating that the police were awaiting somethlru an 1* leli.ibe from Norris Nathan, the lover of the girl.

Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 1.—Revived talk of the construction of additional big industrial plants has been occa sioned here by the unprecedented ac tivity of the iron market. Especially prevalent are the rumors that the Sloss-Sheffitdd Steel and Iron compa ny will erect a steel plant, to take up the product of Its iron furnaces and of Its mines In the Birmingham district. The reported acquisition by John Gates, of a controlling power in the stock of the Republic Iron and Steel company, also proves as a basis for the story that that company will erect a steel plant at Thomas, four miles from Birmingham. Mr. Gates, ac cording to rumors received here, Is en deavoring to gain control of the south ern iron market, in order to offset the United States corporation. Rumors of the proposed merger of the big companies continue active, but no definite grounds for them have been reached as yet. Most men imagine that a fizzle In business furnishes a fitting for the ministry. It takes more than milk and water to make the meekness of a Moses. Cubscrlbe for The Ledger; $1 a year.
