s75oo for a Set of Teeth.

London Titbits.
 A well-known firm of bankers in Lon don has just made a profitable invest ment Some time ago a man who had defrauded them of large sum Of money was taken into custody, con- victed and sentenced to long term or penal servitude.
 As may be imagined, the prison fare did not agree with the man who had by means of fraud lived on the fat of the land The change affected him in many ways, but he complained more particu- larly of the effect the food had upon his teeth. They were not numerous or Tn good condition when he was sentenced and as they rapidly became worse he applied to the governor of the prison for a new set.
 He was told that the government did not supply prisoners with artificial teeth and at the first opportunity he wrote to the banking firm in question offering, if they would send him a new set, to give them some valuable information.
 Thereupon the bankers, thinking the offer might be a genuine one. sent the governor of the prison check for 10 and asked him to provide the convict with a set of artificial teeth.
 In due course the convict kept his promise and sent the bankers certain information, by means of which they were enabled to recover no less than f150O of which they had been defrauded. They naturally regarded this as the best investment they had ever made, but it proved even better than anticipated, for they have just received from the prison authorities a remittance of II, the teeth having cost only "A.

tured the audience His lecture was a blended into a most acceptable and pleas ing whole, which was much appreciated by his hearers. He was terSe and cpl grama tic--many of his epigrams being gems of thought and worthy of being perpetuated as proverbs. His satirical remarks upon the incidents of the poor kin brought forth peals of laughter. Then he took the position of the rich kin, and in an inimitable manner showed the many petty annoyanceS which they are subjected to by the poor kin His anecdotes were full of wit, humor, pathos and point, and the moral was very ap- parent. Among his epigrams are the following:
 Tt is a good idea to treat your poor kin with consideration. as they are liable to get rich. especially if they live in the thriving city of Birmingham"
 Poor kin are in the majority and no returning board can deprive us of the majorties."
 Blessed is he that hath nothing, for it cannot be taken from him"
 He wound up with the remedy for both the rich and poor kin. and advised all to take the remedy laid down in the Bible, and that is, Bear ye one another's bur dens." If all would do that there would be no labor strikes, lockouts or shut downs. Each would help the other. He admonished all to be considerate of one another, the rich of the poor. the poor of the rich.
 After the lecture collection was taken up for the benefit of the organ fund and quite a handsome sum was realized.

CHILDREN'S DAY
Beautifully and Appropriately Observed Morn ing and Evening at Simpson Metho-
 dist Episcopal Church.

Last Sunday being childrens day the occasion was observed in grand style by the congregation of Simpson Methodist Episcopal church of this city.
 At the hour fixed for the commence ment of the ceremonies this sacred edifice was thronged with the relatives and friends of the young ladies and children. The beautiful ceremony of the Golden Gate was celebrated as characteristic on such an occasion. The scene afforded by the presence of the young ladies and children in their white robes. emblematic of purity and innocence, bafiies descrip- ton. This beautiful ceremony was With out anything to mar it's impressiveness, and those who were so fortunate as to be present on this occasion will ever re- member the picture presented to them, which has made such an impression as can never be effaced. Suffice to say that this city shall never again be the scene of such a solemn ceremony as was Wlt- messed at this church on chfldrens day. 1895.
 The opening anthem. The Golden Gate" was rendered by Mss Hewett Tn an exquisite manner. Being possessed of rich alto voice. she had no difficulty in pleasing her many listeners.
 Miss Mabel Silliman, who assumed the part of Guardian Angel" acquitted her self in a most creditable manner. Tn the many responses to the interrogato- ries of each pilgrim Miss Silliman was equal to the occasion. inasmuch as she did so without hesitation or embarrass- ment which often oVercomes one Tn thls position.
 The choir, composed of Mrs. Kiebler' Misses Hewett, Silliman, Perrin, Hlll, Jeff, Beales and Dyer, and Messrs Hlli and Saunders, rendered some delightful music, all of which tended to render the occasion memorable one.
 In view of the success which attended the celebration of this ceremony in the forenoon, by special request it was re- pcated in the evening al o'clock, with the same success which attended it at the morning service.
 The jealous pastor, Rev. MT. Mitchell, in a brief but most intelligent manner, impressed upon the minds of the congre- gation the necessity of each member do- mating as much possible towards the fund of the board of education, for the purpose of educating and enlightening those who desire to enter the ministry.

THE BIG SEWER"
IS DISCUSSED BY CITIZENS AGAIN
Colonel Altman Said, 'lt Is an Outrage on the SOuthside, on Justice and
 Common Sense.

A citizens meeting to protest against the construction of the big sewer," was held at the Paul Hayne school build- ing corner last night, over which MT. John G. Smith. in the absence Dr. T. l.. Robertson, the regular chairman, pre- sided.
 Mr Smith, in calling the meeting to order stated it's object to be to crystaliZe the sentiment against the proposed sew CT, to adopt resolutions and secure sigma lures to the same to be presented to the mayor and aldermen in an effort to in- fluence them to repeal the sewer ordi- nance
 Dr. Jernigan said if the sewer was ab- solutely necessary to the health of the city he would favor it. provided the whole city was taxed to pay for 1t, other wise he was opposed to 1t. He said the statistics showed Birmingham to be the healthiest city in the south.
 Col. Robert Chisolm advised the meet ing to stand by the resolutions adopted at the Erswell hall meeting. He said an ordinance repeating the ordinance providing for the building of the sewer had been introduced in the council, and he believed it would be passed thus ae- complishing the object for which they were contending.
 Mr.s R. L. Thornton said he was in- formed a number of the aldermen " re with the people of the SoutEside on the question but the only way to accom- plish their purpose was to appeal to the board and convince them that q maj 1rity of the Southside people did not want the sewer. He urged everybody to sign one of the several petitions beng circ Hated. He moved a concurrence in the action or the Erswell hall meeting, calling on tn board of mayor and aldermen U repeal the sewer ordinance. The motion pre- vailed.
 Col. J. J. Altman took the stand to pr vet hat ba on the people of the Southside. Ca ou = rage on law, an outrage on justice and an outrage on common sense. He s lid he would never pay a dollar towards the sewer until the court of last re-ort had said he must pay it.
 MT. R. l.. Thornton moved that the committee to solicit signatures to th ? petitions, appointed at tha 1Grswell hall motion prevailed. J. D. Stewart, Dr. Jer nigan, Henry Behrcns and R. T. Boat right were added to the committee.
 MT II. E.. Gray moved the app9int- ment of committed of five to appear be- fore the board of mayor and aldermen at their next meeting and present the petitions and urge the board to rescind its action in regard to the sewers. Dr. Jernigan offered an amendment making 1t thirty instead of five, and MT. Gray ac- cepted the amendment. The motion an1 amendment were then passed and the chair will name the committee at his earliest convenience.
 A motion to adjourn prevailed.

Do not, if you love your friends, chant cverlastingly the praises of him Re member that it is in excrutiating bad taste to boast of our possessions, wheth- CT they be family silver or fiance.
 Do not praise his virtues to himself too constantly. Though he be the most per feet of created beings, as he doubtless is, there is still room for improvement. Nothing will spur him on to improvement so rapidly as a somewhat temperate style of commendation.
 Do not or your wedding journey try to convince the public that you have been married twenty years Marital indiffer- ence comes soon enough without being cultivated during the honeymoon. Be- sides, it is not criminal to be a bride.
 On the other hand do not nauseate the public by demonstrations of affection The public pays for its seats in the par Tor car and it has certain inalienable rights guaranteed it by the constitution, such as tend to the pursuit of happi- ness Not even a bride and bridegroom should interfere with constitutional rights.
