To the Citizens of birmingham:

10 the CltlzenS OF birmingham:
1 dislike exceedingly to further call
your attention to the fact and nus pub
fish our untidiness abroad to the world;
that there are yet many of our citizens,
10th white and black, who have not
cleaned off their sidewalks and appar-
emily have paid no earthly attention to
the repeated notices and warnings that
the police would after October rigidly
arrest those who have not obeyed the
law of tidiness as we'll as of the city.
This is true not only of many of those
who have to rise early and labor hard
all day, for whom there is much excuse,
but is also true of many who are able to
hire labor to do it.
/ cannot and will not believe that 50
many of our people either prefer dirty.
unkept sidewalks, back yards and alleys
or boldly defying this law. which is now
the universal rule in every live town.
1t surely must be due to the duties and
demand for labor caused by so much fit
ting up and changing on the LIST.
If really thought that the people Of
this city largely prefer such wretched
looking sidewalks, yards and alleys as
we have yet In so many places l would
hide my head as mayor in shame and
beg the weeds and grass to grow and
stay high enough to entirely hide us
from the gaze of the northern and east
ern visitors.
Citizens of Birmingham, let me beg
you to bestir yourselves about this clean
ing up business. Cut the weeds, clean
up your lots. Spend a little money to
show the world that we are alive, not
dead and buried under vilainous weeds
or covered up with old tin cans, ashes
or trash.
With, as you know full we'll, little or
no means at our command the city is try
ing hard with the street hands to do the
many things asked for. You must CO.
operate. You must help. Let everybody
clean up.
Let every citizen, white and black,
take a special pride in seeing how neat
and clean their own lot, sidewalk, gut
ter and alley can be kept, SO that Wis
itors will speak of US with pride and
pleasure, and not laugh at us as a dirty,
badly kept city.
The time has been extended to Monday,
October IA. Please don't abuse the in
diligence. Very respectfully.
j. A. VANHOOSE, Mayor.

INFORMAL TEACHERS MEETING
For the Purpose Of Obtaining a Reduction
in Car Fare.

For the Purpose of Obtaining a Reduction
in Car Fare.
An informal teachers meeting was
held at Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's yes
ierday afternoon for the purpose of try
ing to see If the street railroad company
could be induced to consider the teachers
as city officials and give them reduced
rates on their car lines. There are only
about fifteen of the teachers who use the
cars in going to and from school, but
these live one, two or even three miles
from their building and walk, because
they feel that with our present short
school year they must save all they can
for expenses during the long vacation.
They say this does very well in the
morning, when the teacher is fresh from
a nights rest, but in the afternoon tired
out with their days work, it is with slow
and heavy footsteps that they take their
homeward way. They say the policemen
ride free and. that the aldermen have
passes for themselves and families and
doubtless other officials have like privi-
leges, and they think the teachers have
a hand If not voice in the city govern
ment, as they have the care of its future,
law makers. They say they would not
for the world cripple the street railroad
company financially but they think they
might have a book at half rate. and then
they could ride. and with grateful hearts
thank the company.

Looking Better and Brighter -ANew Lease on

The spirit Of improvement is abroad in
the city. New evidences of thrift and en-
terprise are everywhere apparent. The
march of progress Is keeping time to a
quicker STEP Capt. Paul Gilardoni is at
the head of the general advance on the
forces of doubt and despair, He has re-
fitted and re-furnished Paufs cafe until
1t is a gem of igastronomic delight. He
still claims that it Is the ''only second

patrons differ with him. He feels under
many obligations to his friends for their
patience in bearing with him until the
improvements were made, but now he is
prepared to entertain "all the world and

Gravesend Results.

Gravesend Race Track, Oct. 5.-The
weather today was perfect for racing
and the card presented here was brill
liant one The fields were not large, but
several of the best horses in training
clashed in the various events. The spec
tators, however, did not turn out in their
usual great number, consequently the
crowd was slim. The two events on the
programme around which considerable
interest conferred were the Prospect hand
leap of the value of $4,000 for 2-year-olds
and the Fulton handicap of the value of
$4,000 for 3-year-olds. The former event
was won by Ben Brush, the favorite,
without the semblance of an effort, by
two lengths from Crescendo, with Hand
spring third. The Fulton handicap was
captured by Flying Dutchman at odds
of to /, defeating Annisette by nose.
Counter Tenor fell back, beatened at the
sixteenth post, and finished third. The
honors in the selling race for 2-year-olds
were carried off by Boomer, who de-
feated the favorite by a short head.

EXTREMELY I'LL.
The Blectropoise Was Used With
It's Usual Good Effects.
Will Do All That Is Claimed for 1t
and Much More.

I have a near neighbor named Bene-
field, who is a fisherman and has a large
family. Sometime since he went up a
marshy creek some distance on a fishing
trip and was gone three or four days,
being accompanied by two of his boys.
On his return home from this trip one of
the boys was very sick, and had a high
fever and a bowel trouble. He went to
bed Immediately on getting home, and
was extremely i'll. not being able to move
himself in bed for twenty-four hours,
and was in very critical condition.
l told Mr.. Benefited that if he would
not laugh at me that / would put the
Electropose on him and cure him. He
said that he would be glad to have me
use 1t, so l applied it with plenty of ice,
and in half an hour was able to note a
change, while he continued to improve all
night In a day or two he was entirely
we'll, and has been ever since.
We believe that it will do all that is
claimed for it, and are willing to make
an affidavit to that effect. Mr.. and Mrs.
Benefited will willingly testify to the
above. Yours truly,
f. C. BRES.

THE CITY ATTORNEYS REPORT

The city attorney reported as follows:
/, AS directed by you l have prepared and
herewith present the following ordin
ances:
An ordinance granting property own ers
permission to improve Union avenue
under private contract. Ordinance
adopted.
An ordinance granting special privi
leges to A. p. Maginnis for Twenty three
months to conduct electrical currents
north of Seventh street and west Of Pearl
street. Ordinance adopted
An ordinance establishing the width OF
sidewalks on Boyle avenue. Ordinance
adopted.
An ordinance prohibiting street criers.
Ordinance referred to the finance COM
mittee.
An ordinance appointing ission-
ers for opening and extending Santee
street. Ordinance adopted.
Also an ordinance abandoning an alley
in the Wheeler tract. An examination CT
the map shows that this is a very import
ant alley running through long block
from street to street and it should not,
in nv opinion, be abandoned without the
consent of all the property owners.
Ordinance adopted.
In the matter Of the franchise to be for
| ghting the city, there have been SO
many suggestions made by different
councilmen and outside parties with ref
erence to the conditions to be imposed
that would like a committee TO be APP
pointed for the purp5se of settling the
conditions before the draft of the fran
chise is made.
/ would suggets that this committee be
com posed of at least four or five members
nd that they meet with me Immediately
so that there may be 10 delay in this
matter. Couunclmen Kingery, Munson

mittee.
You have instructed me to draw an or
dlnance compelling property owners to
make connections with the sewers on
Main street, between Ninth and Jeffer-
son. before the paving is done. There is
an ordinance already compelling parties
living on property or owning improve
ments thereon to connect such improve
ments with the public sewers. Under
this ordinance all of the improved prop
erty can be connected at once. In my
opinion you have no power to compel
connectins for vacant property. Referred
to the sewer committee.
In the matter of the suit brought by
Alexander WE'LL to quiet title to certain
property. being portion of the Alexan-
der WE'LL tract, | have examined the alb
stract of title to this property and am OF
the opinion that the city has no claim to
the same and that disclaimer should be
Hleu IN JnlS case. Olly attorney ordered
TO file disclaimer.
The Kerckhoff- Gunner Mill and Lum-
Der company and others have brought t
suit against the city to quiet title to the
Ducasse tract. | have examined the alb
stract of the title to said property and
would recommend disclaimer in said
case. excepting therein the streets shown
upon the map of said tract, and right
of way for zanja No. 4, as shown by the
map. Disclaimer ordered filed.
