THE LIFE LINE.
The Danger Point Beyond Which It Is Not
 Safe to Go.

Those who have not visited the sea- shore and seen how we'll the ''summer girl' can improve each shining hour t1isporting in the waves, while the anx- ious mama watches her from the sandy beach have indeed a treat yet In store for them. From Atlantic City to Bar Harbor practically the same means for the protection of life are in vogue. AL most every good beach has a life saver who Is a good swimmer and ready at any moment to launch a boat to rescue the venturesome; and a life line held in place by buoys, to indicate the limit be- yond which there Is danger. The best swimmers may venture so far that their strength and endurance fail, or seized by sudden cramps they may sink before assistance can reach them.
 Nature has provided us with certain signs or danger signals, which warn us not to go beyond a certain line. How many people have ever seriously consid- cred the fact that almost any grave change in health is at once betrayed by a loss of flesh? The face alters at once because of it's irregular outline, and as it Is always visible shows conspicuously and most plainly the loss of tissue. When we can hold our own with that body weight which Is natural to us in health we are usually in a condition of nutritive prosperity. The loss of flesh means inn poverished blood while an increase to q certain point generally means rise in the health standard and improvement il

BIRMINGHAM TRADE.
Transportation Committee of the Commercial Club Take Steps to Develop Same.
 Meeting Days Changed

The transportation committee of the Commercial club held very important business session at the rooms of the club yesterday afternoon, and it is quite cer- tain from the interest manifested that the resuMs of the work done and mapped out will prove of far-reaching benefit to this city. Gen. R. D. Johnston, chair man, called the meeting to order at 4 o'clock, with the following members in attendance: O. L. Chalifoux, w. J. Rushton, H. H. Sinnige, M. V. Joseph and w. c. Shackelford.
 Several matters of minor importance were presented, and which the secretary was instructed to refer to the Southern Railway and Steamship association for explanation by the next meeting of the committee.
 The committee was impressed with the possibilities of enlarging the cotton and grain trade of this city, and it was decid- ed that the committee should invite the cotton compress owners and all cotton buyers who contemplate operating from Birmingham next season to meet with the committee at it's next regular meet ing. Also all mill men and grain dealers be likewise invited to attend that meet ing, so as to ascertain what the Commer- cial club could do in these matters to advance the trade of Birmingham
 A further resolution was offered and unanimously passed that our merchants and manufacturers, as well as those who desire to trade in Birmingham, be re- quested to present to this committee any and all matters which they may have re- garding freight discrminations or unfa- forable rates that they think will bear investigation, to the end that Birming- ham trade be extended.
 The regular meeting days of the com mittee were fixed on as follows: The first and third Tuesdays of each month

THE ASSAULT ON sTAMBULoFF.


 The Excitement Is Not Subsiding-Sevcral
 Arrests Have Been Made.
 Sofia, July 16.--The excitement into which the city was thrown by the at tempted murder of Ex-Premier Stam- buloff has not in the least degree sub sided, but on the contrary has become in- tensified. Madame Stambuloff was not at home when her wounded husband was brought to his house, but came in soon afterward. At first she was pros trated with sorrow, but she quickly re- covered, and afterward went to the door and confronted a number of policemen who were trying to enter, forbidding them to cross the threshold. She charges the police with complicity in the at- tempt to murder her husband and com mands that they at once arrest the guilty persons, who, she declares were well known to them. Madame Stambuloff then turned to the public prosecutor and several officials who had arrived soon after her husband was brought home and compelled them to leave the house.
 M Petkoff, who was walking with M Stambuloff when he was attacked, de- clares that just before the crime was committed he saw a number of gen darmes vanish in the distance The at- tack was nude just before dark in a street that is much frequented in the day time, but is very quiet early in the evening. After the crime was coinmits ted the gendearms appeared upon the scene and blew their whistles Several arrests have been made in connection with the outrage.
