1T WILL BE A STRONG CARD
The Ladies of Birmingham Will Publish a Souvenir Edition and Circulate It
 at the Exposition.

The coming exposition at Atlanta has put the wits of the women to work, and it goes without saying that the most at tractive exhibits will be their handiwork The Woman's Christian Temperance un- ion of Birmingham have hit upon a happy idea. They will get up a souvenir edition devoted to Birmingham, and will publish 10000 copies, which will be dis trbuted at the exposition. This souvenir has been indorsed by the Commercial club, and highly approved of by our leading citizens. It will contain pie lures of the leading industries of Bir- mingham, it's largest business blocks, its leading citizens and other prominent characteristics. It will also contain the portraits of several Birmingham belles, so that strangers can see that the social life of Birmingham is enlivened by be- ings as fair as the sun shines upon. Other interesting features will be added from time to time. The success of the ladies in getting out womans editions of newspapers is a guarantee of their sue cess in this undertaking. This souvenir will be carried home by the visitors at the exposition and will be a constant and pleasant reminder of Birmingham and it's attractions.

A TWO-BY-F TRICK.
4 Movement on Foot to Prevent the Liberty Bell From Being Exhibited at the
 Atlanta Exposition

Philadelphia, July GA movement is on foot in this city to prevent the Liberty bell from being exhibited at the Atlanta exposition.
 The city council has sanctioned the removal of the priceless relic to Atlanta during the exposition. but yesterday a committee from the Sons Of the Revolu- ton waited upon Mayor Warwick and entered a protest.
 The mayor replied that the journey of the bell to the south would. in his es- timation, be an invaluable lesson in patriotism and would knit the north and south together in a closer union. It would be an object lesson by which the whole country would be benefited. Thc council, he said. were the legal guard ians of the city's property, and therefore had a right to allow the bell to be taken to Georgia If they saw fit. As they had given their permission for it's removal, he said, the only way to prevent it would be to file a bill in the equity court and if possible secure an injunction against the removal of the relic.
 In reply to the mayor that the hell would be an object lesson to the south, the committee said that it had already been sent to New Orleans to the eXpos.- tion there, and they thought that would be sufficient.
 meeting of the Sons of the Revolu- ton will be held on Monday. at which 1t Is expected that steps will be taken to give public expression against the moving of the bell. The question of ir- stituting legal proceedings will also be brought up. It is said that the Order of the Cincinnati is in sympathy with the Sons of the Revolution in the move ment

THAT NEGRO COLONY.
Consul Sparks Sits the Stories as to the Harsh Treatment of Alabama Negroes
 in Mexico.

Washington, July 6.-The state depart ment is in receipt of report from Jesse W. sparks, consul at Piedgras Vegas. on the colony of negroes brought from Ala bama and Georgia last February to Tlahualila, Mex.
 It appears that W. H. Ellis, colored man, under contract with the owners of a large tract of land near Tlahualila, imported the negroes 10 farm the land. Some of them have since made their way to Piedgras Vegas, and complain of bad treatment.
 Reports have appeared in American newspapers that some of the colonists escaped from the farm, and were pur- sued by Ellis. and thirty-two were shot down, while the survivors were captured, taken back to the colony and subjected to harsh punishment. The consufS in- Vestigation has shown this story to be al most entirely without foundation. Forty three of the colonists did leave the col ony. Twenty of them returned in safety. TWenty-one men and women who insist ed on going ahead have not been traced, but some of them have reached the United States and it is probable spread the reports of the deaths of the others. No one was shot or wounded, but Cald- well, who led the exodus, states that he was struck by Mexican with the barrel of a gun and imprisoned for nearly two weeks in the colony lock-up.
 The band were met and badly fright ened by some Mexieans who had been sent out from the colony to find them and relieve them. as they were without food or water. MT. Charles Paul Mackie. an American, who investigated the affair, corroborates this statement and declares that the colony is receiving good treat ment, although many of them have been sick from change of water diet, etc. They now have the benefit, however of good medical attention. Although some of the colonists tell stories of harsh treat ment. the consul is indisposed to credit them, and attributes their troubles to the fact that they are in a strange coun- try and do not speak the language.
 The negro manager Ellis, however in the consufs opinion. rules with great se- verity, and the negroes say he made rep resenta tions to them in America which he fails to carry out in Mexico

A STEAMER ON FIRE

Puts Into Savannah, Where the Flames Are
 Subdued. Savannah, Ga., July 6.-The Spanish steamship Ida Captain Orana, from Pen sacola. Fla, June 20. with cargo of cot ton and lumber for Liverpool put in here this morning on fire. The fire broke out in her coal bunkers two days after the vessel left port, and she put for Savan- nah. On her arrival the fire department began work on her, and the fire is now under control and about out. The fire was confined to the coal bunkers, and the cargo is not believed to have been damaged. A timber partition had been put in to separate the coal, and it was in this that the fire started.

A MOST GRATIFYING SIGN IS THE DEMAND FOR REDlSC0UNTS From Southern Banks, Says the Financier Com mentingon the Weekly Statement.
 Money Market Active.

The weekly statement of the associated banks shows the following changes:
 Reserved decrease, $2,052,225.
 Loans-increase, S1S2, 400.
 Specie--increase, 34.900.
 Legal tenders-decrease, $1,45S,1O0.
 Deposits-decrease $563, 100.
 rculation-decrease $25, 1000.
 The banks now hold $32, 173, 700 in excess of legal requirements.
 The New York Financier says this week:
 The statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending July 6, 1895, does not show many important changes. The decrease of $2, 2,052,225 in the reserve is a favorable symptom but it is to be doubted whether the reduc- tion in that item, if figured on the actual conditions of the banks at the close of the week, would balance with the other totals. The statement, as is too often the case when made up on the average" sys- tenn, does not furnish an accurate illus tration of the banks condition. The heavy decreases noted were the results of the July payments of dividends, but it is reasonable to suppose that a great deal of this money has since been returned to the banks, together with government disbursements, making the deposit item larger than it appears.
 Loans have fallen off compared with former weeks, but the increase has not stopped, as is shown by the expansion of $1S2, 2,40O reported for the past five busi- ness days. The total increase in cash holdings was $2, 193, 900, of which $734. 300 was specie and SLABS, 100 legal tenders.
 The interior receipts continue heavy, but the banks report a demand for re- dicounts from southern banks and from other sections, which, under present cir cumstances, is most gratifying sign.
 The money market during the week was rather more active than usual, the early contraction forcing rates consider ably over per cent, but 1t is believed only temporarily. It has demonstrated one thing, however, worth recording, and that is that it will require a great change in present conditions to put the market on permanently higher basis.
 While no predictions can be made as to the possibility of such a change it should not be forgotten that the revival in activity, as shown by the resumption of industries throughout the country, the higher rate of wages and the thou sand and one other circumstances tend ing to prove that the depression in bus mess is over are all factors which are influencing a better money market.
