A specialist treats only a special or particular class of diseases. I have the distinction of being the only physician in the south controlling sufficient practice in Private Diseases to devote my whole time to their cure.
 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience is essential to success
 My Medical Dispensary was established in the city of Birmingham August g. 1887, for the exclusive cure of Private Dis eases. Privacy is one of its special fea- tures It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another People who have social relations to sustain ap- preciate this. The very best people are often unfortunate and dislike to consult their family physician through feelings of delicacy. To them offer safe, sure cure and perfect privacy.

Democratic Senator's Caucus.

Washington, Feb. 12.-At a caucus of democratic senators this afternoon it was decided to unanimously indorse the resolution that will be called up in the senate tomorrow by Mr.; Sherman select ing MT. AlonZo Stewart of Iowa as as- siStant doorkeeper, of the senate, and amended by MT. German to include the selection of MT. Bernard Layton of Ohio, democrat, as acting assistant doorkeep- CT. MT. Layton is the present incum- bent.
 After this was done and the caucus was on the eve of adjourning MT. Hill sug- gested that it would be advisable to con slider what shniild be the policy of the party when the tariff bill was called up by MT Merrill in accordance with the notice he gave, and which he. will carry into effect as soon, as the urgent def- ciency bill is out of the way. No conclu- sion on this point was, reached, but an other caucus will be held when the repub- licans have matured their plans. Speeches were made by Messrs. Villas, Pugh and Hill, while others engaged in the discus sion informally The concensus of opin- ion was that the democrats should op- pose the tariff bill to the end and pro test against it's passage If the temper of the democrats may be taken as basis upon which to form 'a Judgment they will not agree to any arrangement where ;. by an carry vote may be taken on this bill On the contrary it will be post poned as long as possible, and its ulti- mate defeat will be sought by the inter position of various amendments, thus seeking to attack successfully the repub- lican caucus agreement that no amend ments shall be made to the bill.
 The subject of silver and the silver substitute, now Sa part of the bilf were not touched upon, the senators present evidently looking upon the silver ques- ton as one te be tabooed in a caucus where the purpose was to bring about thorough harmony. MT. Lindsay's sugar amendment and various others were mentioned, but no expression of opinion as to the respective mefitssof any of them was given The caucuss as far as the tariff was concerned, was Totally without result. z. q. ss As-1.s "

After brief rest Major Mckinley received about 300 prom inent city and out-of-town republicans, who assured him of their support and extended their best wishes for his suc- cess at the convention. The Ohio states man, who appeared to be and said he was in excellent health, received the com- pliments and handshakes as private citizen, disclaiming any intention of com ing here to create boom for himself. but merely to pay homage to the deeds or Abraham Lincoln.

Ballou of Boston, Ex-Gov- ernor Peck of Wisconsin, Horace Clark of Mattoon, H., Gen. J. c. Cowan of Omaha, E. Rosewater editor of the Oma- ha Bee; Hon. Chauncey I.
