A RECENT WRINKLE.

The latest wrinkle in the shoe line in this part of the country is going to be worked by Drennen & Co.,, the mammoth general merchants of this city, who do big business with the country and labor trade. They have ordered from the J. B. Lewis company of Boston a large con- signment of shoes. Each shoe will be numbered and with each shoe, corre- spondingly numbered, goes an accident insurance policy of $1O0 The customer pays $3 for a pair of shoes and gets with it this policy, which guarantees him $10O indemnity if he gets hurt within three months after the purchase of the shoes, which are guaranteed to last that time, so that two birds are killed with one stone-the purchaser is liable to be out Of shoes and insurance policy about the same time and thus desire the renewal Of both. The insurance policies are is- sued by an insurance company, with whom the J. B. Lewis company has a contract to that end. and will be directly responsible for loss on the same. Dren- nen & Co. say they are going to adver- use the scheme very extensively, and nope, for the furtherance of trade, that the first man to buy pair of shoes will get hurt, so as to receive the $100 on the insurance policy and help the project.
 It Is decidedly the most novel scheme ever introduced in this city, although Birmingham is by no means behind the world in such matters, and bids fair to fill the mines, furnaces and farms in Jef- ferson county with the $3 shoe of the J. B. Lewis company.

A NEW RAILROAD.
The Tennessee, AshvlIIe and Coosa River Road to Be Extended Southern Train to
 Be Disc ntinued.

After January 1 one of the passenger trains on the Southern railway between Birmingham and Atlanta will be discon- tinued, and thereafter only two daily trains will be run each way. The train to be discontinued is the one that leaves here at 12:15 midnight and arrives in Att lanta at 6.30, and returning arrives here ut 5:55 a. m.
 This train was put on about two months ago to accommodate the heavy travel to the Atlanta exposition. It was great convenience to the people desiring to go to Atlanta, and has paid almost from the very beginning.
 The schedule of the remaining trains will not be changed. and is as follows: No. 3s. mail and express. leaves at 5:55 a. m. No. 26, mail and express, leaves at 3:35 D. m; No. 37, fast mail, arrives at 1010 D. m.; No. B. mail and express, arrives at 1920 p. m.
 Tennessee, Ashville and Coosa River.
 It is reported that the Tennessee, Ash vile and Coosa River railroad will be ex- tende to Anniston in the near future. This road was built from Whitney, sta tion on the Alabama Great Southern railroad thirty-five miles north Of Bir- mingham, to Ashville, distance of five miles, about five years ago, and 1t was the intention of the promoters of the road at that time to extend the road to An niston, and also to a northward outlet, perhaps Sheffield or Decatur, but the financial depression coming on shortly after that prevented consummation or the scheme. The road went into the hands of a receiver who had charge or it until early this year, when 1t was sold. The present owners have for sometime past been negotiating with capitalists for money enough to make the extension and properly equip the road. News comes that the efforts of the agent in that di- rection have been very effective, and that the necessary loan has been secured. If he succeeds work on the extension will begin early in the new year.
 This road, if extended to Anniston, will traverse one or the richest sections or Alabama. It will pass through the St. Clair coal fields and tap the iron ores of western Calhoun county. It will also run through fine timber section and agri- cultural section. The road, If extended, will be about forty miles in length.
 A. G. s. Earnings.
 The Alabama Great Southern railroad earned gross for November S1S7,513, an increase of S16.617, and net $S9,395, an in- crease of $16,617, and from July to No vember 30 gross earnings of $755,27S, an increase of SS6, ,138, and net 97353 an in- crease of $46,265.
 Holiday Travel.
 The holiday travel this year has been very heavy on all the roads entering Bir- mingham The travel from the west, es- pecially from Texas, has been unusually heavy.

CONTRARY OPINIONS.
Mayor VanHoose and Alderman Enslen Differ as to Use of Sidewalks by
 Merchants.

Mayor VanHoose and Alderman En- slen of the street committee hold con- trary opinions regarding the space on the sidewalks which has been employed by merchants for the purpose of displaying their goods. Alderman Enslen is of the opinion that the merchants are entitled to no part of the pavement, and can use it in connection with their business only temporarily, as when shipping or receiv- ing goods The mayor, on the other hand, thinks that merchants are entitled to feet of the sidewalk, which may be used to display their stocks. and all fruit stands who have stores will be en- titled to the pavement space according to the mayors theory. Counsel for the fruit stand dealers will endeavor to have the 3-foot rule applied, it Is said, to those dealers who have an enclosure connected with the fruit stand. A firm of attor- news represents a number of merchants who insist that the fruit stands are pub lie nuisances by reason of the obstruc- tions placed by them on the sidewalks. If seems that the matter will again come before the courts in the new phase which the 3-foot rule gives the question. At any rate, those who taken the sidewalks will do so forewarned by a statement which will accompany the licenses in- forming those doing business that the H. cense does not permit occupation Of the sidewalks for business purposes contrary to the laws bearing on the subject

APPLES FOR THE SKIN.

A raw, ripe apple is one of the easiest
food for the stomach to deal with, the
whole process of digestion only con-
Stunning eighty-five minutes. The malic
acid of ripe apples, cooked or raw,
helps to digest meat and to stimulate
the liver and neutraIize those noXious
matters which, unless eliminated pro-
duce skin eruptions. Apples are not
as satisfying as potatoes, because OF
their delicate elements, but eaten with
meat in place of tubers, they are a
golden food. The salts and wine
sweeten the stomach, the phosphorus
is thought to be a nerve builder, and
women of all ages, since Ewes days,
liked to believe that the food of the
gods" impaired its delicate white to
flesh. Why not? Beef eaters and
wine drinkers are red.-Ref1ector

OUR CIVIL SERVICE.

The annual report of the United
States civil service commission will
show that the whole number of per-
sons regularly employed in the civil
service of this country is about 200 GOO.
Or these approximately one-fourth are
in the classified civil service subject to
competitive examinations under the
civil service rules. Of those in the I'M
classified service, $4,000 are laborers,
5000 are appointed by the president,
subject ito confirmation by the sena te,
1000 are in the legislative branch Of the
government, and 2,665 are in the ju-
dicial branch. The civil service act eX-
cludeS these classes from classified ton.
The total number Of petitions af-
fected by the extension of civil service
rules from March 4, 1898, to January
8, 1895, was S,1S4. Of these, 5,537 were
added to the classified service by orig
inal classification, and 2,647 by trans
fer of places classified but excepted
from examination to list of places sub
ject to competitive examination. Since
January all the employees have been
brought into the classified service, ex-
cept the secretary and assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, a private secretary
to each, the chief Of the weather bu-
reau and his private secretary, the
chief clerk of each department and
his private secretary, and laborers and
char women.
A comparative statement shows that
at the end of President Arthur's ad-
ministration, the approximate number
of positions classified was 1878; at
the end of President CIeveland's first
term there was 1880, and at the end
of President Harrison's administration
there was 1929 places classified. Ex-
ecutive acts brought 29,S73 of tie lat
ter number into the service, while the
13,055 others, principally in postoffices,
became classified by reason of growth
from small offices.
