 The Frankins Tonight

The Philomathic society of Howard college held its final meeting last night in the chapel of the college. and large audience greeted the young men of the society who had been chosen as repre- sentatiVes on this occasion. The audi ence was not only large. but was enthu- siastlc throughout, and each speaker, upon the delivery of his oration, was warmly applauded. Then flowers played a prominent part. for the female admirers of these young men were in evidence by a large majority. During the year they have aided the young men, and proved themselves true to the last
 While there was good music, the prin- cipal feature of the evening was the speeches delivered in contest for a soci- ety medal which is annually given to the best speaker, this to be judged by three competent persons.
 The medal was contested for by Messrs w A. Talliaferro, l.. E. Lacy, H. E. Moss, P. A. Eubank, H. T. Parker and R. P. Presley.
 The speeches were excellently pre- pared and were delivered with the grace and distinctness of veteran orators. True all those in the contest were young men, but they spoke like men long trained in the art.
 The contest, as usual, was a warm one to say the least, and the judges werd in quandary for some time as to who should bear off the horlors However, they decided that MT. Talllaferro, a name with which all Birmingham is familiar had won and was entitled to th5' dis tinction. The judges were pr. P. T. Hale, J. D. Hancock and George A. Ho- gan. the medal being presented in a nice little speech by the first named.
 Another feature was the carrying out of the annual custom of giving a badge to each member of the senior class.

AN INNOVATION.
Prof Fred L. Grambs' Band Will Give Free Open Air Concerts at Cap-
 toI Park.

Prof. Fred L. Grambs, assisted by the able members of his excellent band in- augurated last night a movement which is both commendable and noteworthy
 They assembled at Capitol park. at the head of Twentieth street, and for three hours disc2ursed delightful music for the benefit of large and highly pleased crowd.
 The idea of these free concerts is a happy one, and all Birmingham will, no doubt, rejoice to know that every week these entertainments will be given with out charge, not solely for the benefit of the wealthy but for the poorer classes who are not able to squander money to ride out to the different resorts for a summer evenings outing.
 Birmingham has Just cause to be proud of Professor Grambs and his band they being ever ready to lend their aid in affording pleasure where it will be most appreciated. The members of the band are all representative men and de- serve great praise for this laudable ven ture.

 Einancial Success.
 The members of St Pauls Catholic Total Abstinence society had q meeting last night to hear reports from commit tees as to the Tuskaloosa excursion and picnic.
 Some of the committee were not ready to make final reports, but indications sufficient were noted to warrant the estl- mate of a clear profit for the orphan fund of about $40O, provided the excess claimed by the Alabama Great Southern railroad is not paid.
 It was learned at the meeting that the prospects were bright for an amicable settlement of the matter mention of which has already been made sThe rall- road officials have slgnified their willing ness to do fairly and honorably in the matter
 During the meeting motions of thanks were passed to the Ladies' Aid society, press, merchants and individuals who aided the Total Abstinence society In making d success of the venture.

A BUSY SESSION
Of the Retail Trade and Transportation Com
 mttee of the Commercial Club,

The retail trade and excursion com mittee of the Commercial club held a busy session yesterday afternoon and from the interest manifested and the scope of subjects discussed evidently in- tend to do something for the retail trade of Birmingham this year. The commit tee organized by eleotng MT. w. R. Saw yer as permanent chairman and MT. C. Black as vice-chairman. The committee unanimously voted to have the Cominer- cial club request every manufacturer in the city who desired patronage from retail merchants to place a card in the club rooms setting forth their business and inducer1ents, the sentiment being to pledge the retail merchants to keep at home as much money as possible for patronage to home enterprises A com mittee was appointed to see the various railroads and ascertain the feasibility of granting certain excursion rates and also to assist in the rates sought by the Clerks association for the Fourth of July celebration.
 On motion of John O'Neill the follow ing composed that committees: w. k. Sawyer c. Black, J. O'Neill J. E. Ges- sett and T. l.. Thornton. The club was requested to endeavor to secure stop- over privileges for all visitors to the At lanta exposition who would come by Birmingham.
 The committee from the Clerks Pro- tective association came before this committee, composed of Mir. Swartz and MT. Antwine, and fully explained their plans for Fourth of July celebration. Their programme was found to be quite elaborate and sufficiently attractive to justify the fullest cooperation on the part of the committee and the club, and after very full discussion of the mat ter. on motion of MT. Messer, it was de- cided to recommend to the club proper the fullest indorsement of the commit tee, with the request that the club pledge them cooperation in obtaining neces- sary rates and funds to make it a suc- cess. The committee named to aid them were Mir. c. Black and T. L. McGowan. ,r
 Next Thursday afternoon at o'clock was fixed for the next meeting of this committee. to which time adjournment was made.
