COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.

Members of the Commercial club in ar- rears for April dues will not, under the bylaws of the club, be entitled to partic- pate in the annual meeting and election of the club which is now close at hand. Only those who are up with their dues are entitled to participate in that cleo tion.
 The great want of the club during the past year has been fund that could be used to locate industries here. At this very time two strong and valuable indus tries can be obtained for Birmingham if help is given to locate them here. It is not as a 'bonus," but simply to make them whole in a change of location.
 The club has done everything possible to be done without such a fund. In truth, it has given Birmingham the widest possible advertising, and has kept the city prominently and constantly be- fore the outside world until, general con dtions improving, there is now every evi- dence for believing Birmingham will reap a rich return for it.
 There are some who would be much dis appointed if the club membership fee was advanced to S25, as is the charge for ad- mittance in many commercial bodies throughout the country, but there is really strong necessity for providing in some way larger revenue that the work of the club may be more active and effective.
 There is no doubt but that business is improving. There is increasing demand for desira ble real estate, and sales are be- ing made at reasonable prices where there has long been almost complete stagnation. Good dwelling houses are in demand in favorable localities, and inquiries for business openings and opportunities are steadily on the in- crease.

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR HOME CRoAKERS.

The attention of the wet-blanket gentry is called to an article from Chicago printed on the first page of this issue. Iris strange fact that people East, West and North have more confidence in our Southland than those of us whose every dollar is invested in this country. We assert, without fear of contradic- ton, that if Alabama is true to herself, and makes a creditable display of her mineral and agricultural wealth at At lanta, tide of immigration such as has not been known for years, will set in next year and cheer the hearts of the sick and weary with gladness unpar- alelled by any era of former prosperity.

A Blessed Deliverance.

This is effected when the hostile dis turbance of the liver, known as bilious ness, ceases through the benign opera ton of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Pain in the right side and under the right shoulder blade, yellowness of the skin and eyeballs, fur upon the tongue, morning nausea, vertigo, sour breath, irregularity of the bowels and sick head ache are among the distressing symp- toms which take their departure when the great anti-bilious medicine is resorted to. Chills and fever kidney and bladder trouble, rheumatism, dyspepsia and ner- vousness are also remedied by the bit ters, which Nalso a superb tonic and promoter of sleep and appetite. Use the bitters persistently, and not by fits and starts. Speedy good results will follow.

ton an increased number of cars handled over the previous month of this year of 4440, and over the corresponding month of last year, 2955:
 The total number of cars handled by the Alabama Car Service association, which includes Columbus and Meridian, Miss, for the month of March were 19, eos. and of this total the Birmingham dis trict handled 14,662. This is one of the strongest arguments possible to present to show the value of the mineral district of Alabama to the commerce of the south.
 There are some other very striking fig ures in this car service report that are worthy of comment. Outside the Bir- mingham district, which includes all Alabama, Columbus and Meridian, Miss, there were only handled in March, 4943 cars, while there were handled at Br- mingham station proper 4130. These are official figures and speak for themselves of what Birmingham and the Birming ham district is doing.
 There is no authoritative source from which can be traced the report that a railroad would be built from Quincy, Fla, to Birmingham, Ala. as was sent out from here few days ago. It was only a mere rumor, with no definite fact to substantiate it.

CHICAGO JOURNALISTIC PROBABILITY.

It is quite probable that the Chicago Times-Herald will turn political sum- mersault and land within the lines of the enemy. MT. Kohlsaat, into whose pos session the paper has come by purchase, is high-tariff Republican of "the most strictest sect" and moreover. is said to be a man of strong convictions, unhes- itatingly expressing his particular creed. No one seems to know his entire name, the various papers referring to him sim ply as MT. Kohlsaat." but if his infiu- ence counts for much, it will not be long before the various exchanges will want to know all about him..
 He was at one time jointly connected with William Penn Nixon on the Inter- Ocean, but as there was much friction between the two, the present Times Her aid man submitted a proposition to buy or sell, and eventually disposed of his interest in the Inter-Ocean. Mir Kohl saat is a man of money, his fortune reaching up into the millions, and pos sessing the merit of having been ac- quired in reputable business. the man himself having been at one time in the wholesale bakery business.
 He has had Journalistic aspirations for many years, and is now in position to gratify all such desires, as he has pur- chased the controlling interest owned by James w. Scott in the great Chicago daily.
 Mr. KohIsaat is an intimate friend of Major Mckinley, having in former times lived in the little Ohio town where the genial Major first started his political boom.
 Should the Times Herald turn Repub- lican and declare for Mckinley, the out come becomes speculative, as the with drawal of this influential paper from the Democratic ranks leaves the Chicago flank entirely unguarded, the Inter-Ocean being already staunch supporter of the other side.

THE TIDE TURNED SOUTHWARK.

The tide of immigration which SO long set westward without change has been halted and In measure diverted southward. Within the past lew years tens Of thousands of men from the North and East and West have visited the South, some on business, some On pleasure and others seeking renewed health for tbem- selves or friends. Intercommunication has opened up new relationships of the most prof. 1tabe nature. An immense sum of Northern capital has been invested in the South and every observant tourist quickly perceives that what has been done may only be Regarded as the beginning. The proposed transfer of New England cotton mills to Southern cities and towns is only the legitimate result of business like,observation and calculation It is a move. ment based upon the wisest estimate of the situation and the condition of things a few years hence. The multiplication of railroads, the rapid growth of manufacturing towns the diversihcation of agriculture. the general ele- vation Of large numbers of the Southern peo- pie of both races, have all combined to put A new lace upon affairs. -Phiadelphia Tele- grapu.
 In spite of the croakers in our own sec tion, the eyes of the entire commercial world are turned upon us. The monied men realize that the star of empire has halted in the most southerly point of it's orbit, and proclaimed new era of pro- gress and prosperity for our people.
 The cotton-mlll men of New England have virtually admitted the hopeless ness of attempting to detain that indus- try longer, the iron situation is better, and if the croakers will only hush all will be well. The empire of the future is the empire of the South. Northern and Eastern men realize it, and it only remains to convince a few doubting Thomases, whose every utterance de- clares them to be of little faith.

Carpenter Stratton Hurt His Toes. but Sc
cured En Income OF S2,5OO,ooO.
There Is n carpenter in Colorado who
recently kicked himself into an income o.
50, 500, 600 a year. His name IS w. S.
Stratton, ard he has lost all confidence In
the old saying that there's no use kick
Ing" Stratton had been a carpenter and
miner for years, and his gold mining used
up all he could save from his earnings
with the saw and hammer. He was so
green regarding gold mines that he once
paid SO, 600, the savings of ten years, for
a mine that had not the faintest trace of
color and that had not even been salt
ed to deceive him. For nearly score
of years Inc had followed the mining camps
with but ono result-he always went
broke and returned to the carpenter
business.
He was in Colorado Springs hard at
work with his kit of carpenters tools
when the Cripple Creek camp was discoy-
cred. He dropped his tools and rushed 20
the new camp, where he staked out what
was considered the poorest claim in the
Now diggiugs. 1t was on the very out
skirts Of the mineral belt. Other miners
ridiculed him, and he became so disguised
at his poor fortune that he concluded to
leave the camp. As no started to go, he
stumbled over a rock, and in his anger
dealt tho poor rock a vicious kick. 1t was
n simple act and hurt his toes, but simple

His boot Clipped n piece from the rock,
and upon examining it carelessly it seem
cd to 10 excellent ore. He promptly
stakcd oUt claim which he called the
Lone Sta-, and it was tho first location
on Gold hill, just above the famous Ana
conda mine.
Ho continued his prospecting with high
hopes and soon located the Independence
mine, which last year yielded him an in
come Of $675, 900. The Lone Star no re-
named the Washington, and it has proved
q very valuable strike. He now owns a
dozen mines in Cripple Creek, and as the
direct result of his careless kick he Is now
enjoying an income estimated ut So, $780,
600 year. Very recently Stratton ship
ped to n Denver smeltery the largest con-
signment of gold orc ever sent by one
train. There were six box cars filled with
selected ore worth from $500 to $40, 600 per
ton, and tho consignment was valued at
81, 900, OCC. Great secrecy was used in
making the shipment, aud no guards were
visible on the train. Inside OF each car,
however. were three men armed to tho
teeth and prepared 10 defend the treasure

CAPT, HILL BEFORE THE MAST,
Ships On the Charmer With Count
Pannenberg.
His Scheme 10 Steal the WaimanalC
Fails Now Headed for
New York City

Captain Alexander Hill, the
smooth man who schemed to
steal the steamer Waimanalo for
the purpose of going to Tahiti to
enter into the trading business, has
given up his pet scheme of going
to San Francisco and is now bound
ing over the pillows towards the
city of New York on the sugar
laden ship Charmer.
Hill inveigled three persons into
the scheme of going to Tahiti. 1t
was his intention to go to Waialua
and from there proceed to the pro-
posed destination, but the eagle
eye of Marshal Hitchcock was up
on the steamers movements and
Hill was apprehended.
Contrary to all expectation, Hill
made a clean breast of the matter,
hattering himself that he had
planned a very smooth scheme,
even if he was caught. BE stated
that he was being watched by the
police and for that reason made up
bis mind to run away with the
Waimanalo.
Another new sailor on the
Charmer is Count" P. Won Pan
nenberg, the aristocratic ex-corpo-
raj of Company A, n. G. H. Both
Hill and Pannenberg were MEM
bers Of the above company, the
former figuring as private.
Pannenberg, it will be remem-
bered, is the man who absolutely
refused to salute Tim Murray, and
who expressed his views on the
subject in terms that could hardly
be called polite.

sports 1t IS his proud boast that he has
never witnessed an intercollegiate contest,

His enthusiasm in tho study OF brain

and it occasionally prompts him TO do
some eccentric thing that is the talk OF
the college At the recent banquet OF the
Cornell alumni in New York the diners
were surprised to receive n circular from
DR.. Wilder which was headed, Form Of

legal form for each alumnus to sign be-

Thus far college athletics have suffered
little at Professor Wilder's hands, but the
cats of Ithaca have not been equally for

and keeps them in a cathousc near his
residence. This condemned cell for fclincs

jccts for vivisection set at liberty. The
professors prediction for cats inspired
one of the favorite songs of the Cornell
students. 1t IS sung to tho tune Of John
