A DELIGHTFUL SPREAD
In Honor of Secretary Herbert at the Resi-.
dence of General Rufus N.
Rhodes.

A delightful dinner was given to Sec
rotary of the Navy Herbert by Gen. Ru-
fus N. Rhodes of the News at his ele-
giant home on the South Highlands yes
terday afternoon. 1t was in honor of the
secretary of the navy, Col. Hillary A.
Herbert, whom all Alabamians love to
honor, and a more delightful occasion
was never had In the city of Birming-
ham.
Only gentlemen were invited, and Cen
eral Rhodes occupied the head of the
table, while Colonel Tomlinson, president
of the State Herald company, sat at
the opposite end of the table at General
Rhodes request. Secretary Herbert oc-

arose. General Rhodes made delightful
host and a most enjoyable time was had.
In the center of the table was minia-
ture war vessel, decorated with choice
roses, from among whose folds small can
non could be seen emblematic of the
great navy over which the guest of honor
of the evening had the honor to preside.
General Rhodes proposed a toast ITO

was drak standing. Secretary Herbert
responded in a modest manner to the
toast, after which he proposed toast

disposed of standing.

host, who designed the floral decoration,
with 1.-The hope that a. battleship would be
built by the United States to be named
Birmingham during the term of office of
the present secretary of the navy"
Secretary Herbert said that nothing
would please him more than to have the
idea put into execution. and battleship
built and named after Birmingham.
General Rhodes proved himself capt.
tai host, and those so fortunate as to be
invited felt that they had spent pleas
ant and profitable evening.

GRAND JURY ADJOURNED.
ITS WORK IN BEHALF OF OUT
RACED LAW ENDED.
After 4 Six Days Session the Jury
Adiourned-A Number Of Indict.
msnts Returned and Some Arrests
Msde-Resolutions.
From Saturdays Daily

:
The much talked OF session OF the
grand jury closed six days sitting
this morning, and it is supposed that
all the crimes committed in this
county have been thoroughly aired
About eighty witnesses were exam
ined by the jury during its short sit
ting and a number Of indictments re-
turned. Just how many Of the vio-
lators Of the law will be apprehended
vet remains to be seen. As given in
in last evenings REFLECTOR, four ar
rests were made by bills from the
grand jury and three more were made
today. They are A. M. Cress' drug
gist, Of Harrington; Jim Hoey and
Charles Estes of this city. The re-
mainder Of the warrants are still in
the hands Of the sheriff and will be
served as fast as he can find his men.
The grand jury before its ADJOURN
ment unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions
"Resolved that we extend to Fore
an Richard Waring u vote OF thanks
for the impartial and able manner IL
which be has presided over the dilib
erations Of this body. Also to Z. &
Hawk for his accurate work as clerk
Many compliments were expressed
by members Of the grand jury on thu
able and efficient manner in which
County Attorney S. $. smlti
has conducted his share Of the worl
in the jury's proceedings, 10 him u
accorded much of the credit Of tn
falicity Of with which the work wa
accomplished and fol- the early I'D
iournment. The cost of the jury
sittlngs will amount to slightly les
than was predicted before it wa
called, but this is accounted for b,
the fact that it was an unusually shor
session. 1t is estimated that the cost
will amount to between $1,000 an
81, 800. 1t has been, TO say the least
an expensive luxury for the county
and one which it could i'll afford q
) this time.

1t is becoming more plain every
day that the REFLECTOR Is great
family necessity. For instance Isaac

be had lost a new single harness if he
had not read in the paper Saturday
night Of the robberleS in the north
part of town. He did, like all the
progressive citizens, read it and went
on a hunt through his barn with the
result that he found that he was
minus the aforesaid harness So he
has joined the burglar hunters
