AN ADDRESS
Issued by the Commercial Club to the Business Men of Birmingham to
 Atlanta.

The membership committee of the Commercial club has issued the following address to the business men of Birming- ham:
 To the Business Men of Birmingham:
 The outlook for a very active fall busi- ness throughout the country is conceded to be exceptionally good, and Birming- ham will reap her share of this activity if proper efforts are put forth to obtain it.
 The Commercial club was organized to give greater strength to any and all efforts for the advancement of Birming- ham, and it has shown what can be done through its instrumentality. That it can materially aid in the progress and development of the city is beyond per adventure. and that progress is only linn ited by the proportion of support and aid received from her business and pro- fessional men.
 And as this growth will inure to the benefit of all alike, there should be none willing to accept benefits of this charac- ter without sharing in just proportion of the means required to obtain them
 The undersigned have been appointed @ committee of the club to still further in- crease its membership that it may the better benefit the ends and purposes of its organization.
 city, and for this reason, if for no other 1t should have most liberal support, but it can benefit all classes and there fore appeals to all to cooperate in its work. A common interest is involved and a common impulse should move in It's behalf
 It invites from all classes suggestions

THE WORK OF YEARS.
How Manuscripts of Famous Authors Have
 Been Lost In Flames.

Been Lost In Flames.
 A catastrophe recently happened to an American author which, though deplora- ble, is by no means unprecedented. A manuscript of his, tho work of years, was accidentally destroyed by fire. This is T danger which it is impossible-in u com morcial sonse-to insure oneself against, for as the elder Disracli remarks in his cynical manner, Though tho fire offices will insure books, they will not allow au- thors to value their own manuscript" The only safo way with these treasures is to hayc them copied, chapter by chapter, by tho typewriter, but as the risk Is almost in1nitcsinal no one thinks 1t worth while to guard against it.
 Thirty years of literary labor of Ben Jonson were thus consumed. It is proba- ble that he used strong language, but could hardly have taken the matter so much to heart as scholar of the fifteenth century, who, driven to madness by sim liar loss, knocked at tho church door (with his hcad), and called Providence to witness that all relations between him and it were sundercd. Hear what say, for l am in earnest and resolved. If by chance, at tho point of death, should be so weak as to address yoH do not pay any attention. " This is probably unique as an utterance of passion. When the commentator of Aris- totlo found his house on fire, he rushed into tho street, calling out the name of his precious manuscript, the danger to which he fondly thought would excite tho fire men to supcrhuman cxcrtion. l have of ten thought that tho loss of that manu- script of Carlyle's had something to do with his subsequent i'll temper and bad manners. Ho affected to take 1t philosoph- ically, which always drives misfortune in and plays the deuce with the liver London News.

HIS LIE CRUSHED OUT
AWreck at Fort Payne Which
 Resulted Fatally
I. JONES MEETS HIS DEATH
While Going Home to Be With His Wife on Sunday-How It Hap
 pened.

Early yesterday morning, as freight train No. 32. northbound. on the Alabama Great Southern railroad was entering Fort Payne it broke in two and wreck followed, in which one man was almost instantly killed
 Conductor Bruce was in charge of the train and Engineer McMahen was at the throttle.
 Where1the train broke loose was lot of oil t&lks, and it seems that a man named J Jones was on the rear end of the part connected to the engine. It is understood that Jones was not a mem Der of the train crew, and it was not known that he was on the oil car until after the wreck The two sections came together with a crash and three cars, one of them the car on which Jones was riding. were demolished and Jones crushed in the wreck.
 The shock was so great that the oil tank of the car on which Jones was rid ing was driven back clear into box car loaded with cantaloupes. This car is now in the Alabama Great Southern yards at this place and presents an aw- full sight on the interior, as blood is spat- tered on one side and brains and pieces of flesh on the ceiling.
 Jones, the dead man, has two brothers who were employed in the Alabama Great Southern shops at this place, he being married and living in Chattanooga before his death. He came here, it is learned. with view of securing employ ment and failing was on his way home. His brothers prevailed on him Friday to remain here over Sunday, but he de- clined. saying he desired to be with his wife on that day.
 It was also learned that he had. in con- versation with men at the car shops the first of the week, predicted for himself a violent death, though dreading death in railroad accident.
 His brothers here were notified of his death and left yesterday morning for Fort Payne, from which place they &C., companied the remains to Chattanooga.

Coffee County "Truck."

We are presented daily with rich evil dences that there is life in the old land yet. MT. w. Bracken, on the Clintonville road, showed up at our office few days since with half bushel of tomatoes of size and quality that would make a Mobile huckster abandon his business and come to Geneva. If we had railroad facilities for marketing the fruits of the earth and air that are going to waste in this country, our fame would reach the ears and eyes of hundreds who will never know the capabilities of this generous soil and climate.-Geneva Citizen.

Blaine and Gail Hamilton.

z MT. Blaine always liked Gail Hamilton, his wife's cousin, and she was familiar figure in his Augusta homc Full of sym pathy with his ambitions, she helped him and chcered him, besides being Mrs. Blaine's most prized companion. From the time MT. Blaine became speaker of the house she assisted Mrs Blaine in do ing tho honors of her home in Washing ton. Her wit and her wisdom cntcstain- ed and instructed tho guests of the house. A dinner party at tho Blaines would have been bright even if all tke guests were dull with Mir. Blaine, his wife and Miss Dodge to sustain the conversation. But the Blaines seldom had dull guests. Miss Dodge found time to aid in other ways than by helping to entertain. She aided Mrs. Blaine training the children. Shc aided Mir. Blaine with her advice, which he sought and followed, and with her pen and tongue. Sho was invaluable to him, and he freely acknowledged it.-Lewiston Journal.

CONGRESS OF AMERICANI>Ts.

An international Convention to Be Held
i'm the City OF Mexico.
The international congress of Amer
icanists, whose purpose is to contrib
ute to the advancement of the studies
upon ethnology, languages and his
tory Of both Americas, will meet in
extraordinary session at the City of
Mexico, from the 18th to the Goth Of
October next. This will be the first
time that an assembly of this kind
will convene in America, the country
possessing the most notable monu-
meDts of the pre- Columbian civiliza-
tions, and therefore the Mexican gov
eminent has taken q great interest in
a meeting so important to the fruitful
research as to all matters pertaining
to the origin OF the American civili-
cation, and is DESTROYS that as many
as possible of scientific societies, sci
entists and all persons of the United
States interested in such matters may
attend the meeting. With this object
in view there will be at Vera Cruz,
Paso del Norte and New Laredo,
Mexico, reception committees, which
will give all necessary Information,
and the railroad companies whose
lines connect at the frontier with
those of the United States have agreed
to reductions in their rates for those
who will attend the Congress, as fol-
lows: Mexican National, 81 per cent;
Mexican International, 40 per cent;
Mexican Central, go per cent.

BiCyCleDigeSt.

The Bicycle has established
itself. 1t is an institution.
Though it has become a neces-
sity of modern life, it has n OF
ceased to be a source of pleas
ure and those who ride it for
business purposes still find
their greatest enjoyment in
the saddle.
Taking it for granted that
you have decided to ride, and
naturally want the best wheel
for your money, we wish to
point out to you some of the
superior features of the
BARNES SPECIAL.
One taking and distinctive
feature of the Barnes wheel,
is the method of brazing the
frame joint. When a Bicycle
is reinforced from the outside
it resembles a sore thumb
with a rag around tan apt
but homely simile. Our Joint is
not a sore thumb. The con-
nections are punched from
steel formed into pieces of
such shape that they encircle
one tube, rendering it doubly
strong and project therefrom
to form a stud at the desired
angle over which the adjoining
tube can be fitted and 5razed
firmly. The steel connections
are secured on each side by
secondary pieces, and all of
them brazed as one piece serve
as a pointed reinforcement to
the second tube.
Bearings First quality tool
steel hardened and ground to
such a degree that there is no
possibility of their becoming
worn. On such grounds as
these fair, frank and honora-
BILE, we solicit the patronage
of the bicycle riding public.
An examination will prove
that they are all we calm for
them.

matter Of using the Pacific Mail as a
quarantine wharf There were many
reasons why this in preference TO any
other should be used for that purpose.
Several suggestions were offered re-
garding preparation of wharf and
equipment OF same for use. y very
small expense would be entailed ana
a great deal Of inconvenience saved.
DR.. Wood thought the plan was a
very good one. He foresaw danger
from the water of the harbor. Steve
dores ouarantined on the wharf to do
the work might take it in their heads
to plunge into the water.
The matter of using the Pacific Mail
wharf for the purpose stated was re-
ferred TO the quarantine committee.
J. B. Anterior said there were two
sailing vessels due from the Coast
with provisions. The quicker the
plan proposed was adopted the better.
w. NJ. Giffard said orders had been
sent by the Australia to have that
steamer return to Honolulu as quick
ly as possible. She would bring from
1900 to 100 tons Of planters supplies.
1t was necessary that these goods be
quarantined. Would have to trust to
the common sense of people on the
other islands to receive such freight.
G.. l.. Wight was afraid of the VOL
untary pollution of the harbor by way
of water closets along the waters
edge. He referred especially to closets
on various vessels in port. He had
taken the precaution of doing away
with these on the vessels belonging
TO the Wilder Steamship Company.
Rufus Spalding wanted to know If
DIR. Howard had returned from Kane
ohe. He was answered to the effect
that nothing bad been heard of him
since the time he left Monday after
noon.
Mr.. Spalding said he was of the
opinion a great many of the deaths
which had occurred were due to sheer
fright. He had been through cpl
denies of cholera and knew whereof
he spoke.
There being no more business to
come before the Board adjournment
until O'Clock Wednesday afternoon,
was taken.

PLUG HORSES CANNED.

Gamers SOt Particular About the
health Of the Animals.
CHICAGO, Aug. PA packing and
slaughtering house where horse meat
is prepared for the European market
is one of the thriving Industries here,
being located on West Fifty-second
street, Son the north line of the Archer
road There 100 ring-boned and spav-
ined horses, bought at auction for
prices ranging from 81 to So q head,
are slaughtered and packed in barrels
every week. A new addition to the
slaughter house indicates that the
business is growing.
AS the Dispatch correspondent ap-
preached the building today the
stencil overpowered him. Every
thing he had experienced or dreamed
of in vile smells dwindled into insig-
nificance in comparison with this.
ga little worse than usual" apollo
getically remarked James Hayes, who
presided over the cauldrons. "You
see our furnaces got out of order two
or three days ago, and the cauldrons
only got going today. In the mean
time, the meat we cooked in them
had decayed. 1t is not always as bad
as this"
Richard Martin is proprietor of this
place. In answer to questions he
said:
al buy the horses all round at auc-
ton, and generally give So head for
them. They are of all ages, some 8
years and some 80. They are all in
poor condition, but they are healthy
and sound. Yes, that one has an ulcer
as big as a silver dollar on his shout
der, but that is nothing. It came
from pulling. I sell my horse meat
IN Europe. Have been getting three
cents pound for it, but now L con-
sign it to Antwerp, and expect to get
four cents pound or more for it
my family eat some of the meat,
but we do not live on it. 1 would not
know what sort of goods 1 was selling
if didn't eat some of it. All of it is
alike, aud you cook it just like beef
you cook it any way. An extract
similar to that out Of which beef tea
is made is produced from the necks"
This industry has been in operation
about two years, and, when it is I'M
derstood that horses slaughtered there
are emaciated and broken down
animals, necessarily infected with dis
ease, it will be seen st once that the
matter is one OF considerable import
ance to humanity in general and the
people of Chicago in particular.

Things Learned In the Morsue,

The old keeper Of the morgue in
this city, who has seen hundreds of
unknown bodies exhibited for iden-
tification, has arrived at some inter
esting conclusions. If the face of the
dead person is perfectly composed
and natural, of course intimate
friends and relatives recognize him
Immediately. But, he says, if the
face is distorted through pain OF dis
figured by injuries a casual acquaint-
ance can identify the body much
easier than the closest relation. He
explains this by saying that people
who have known a person well for a
long time lose sight of the features
and see rather the personality re-
fected in the lines of the face. A
casual acquaintance notes the fea-
lures and can recognize them when
seen again, even if considerably dis
