A Very Graceful Act.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad has always been credited with having philanthropic officials, and the following from the Mobile Register verifies the re- port:
 "The news of a very gracious act on the part of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was made public yesterday On May 12 the Semmes Camp Confederate Veterans gave an excursion to New Or leans. and because of repeated postpone ments because of the prevalence of smallpox in New Orleans, the affair was a failure, and the camp stood to lose $230 by reason of insufficient patronage. The camp, through it's committee, asked MT. H. G. Barclay if he could not scale down the amount somewhat, and MT. Barclay took the matter up with his superiors, with the result that yesterday he re- ceived instructions to donate to the camp the amount of their loss on account of the excursion. It was no doubt very pleasing duty for the general agent to carry out these instructions"

Cleveland Beat Democratic club will meet at the court house tonight.
 Chairman Miles has issued the follow ing calle to democratic voters of that beat
 '"There will be a meeting of the demo- crats of Cleveland beat at the court house of Jefferson county on the 2d day of June. at 8 o'clock D. m., for the pur- pose of more thoroughly perfecting the organization of the club, and more sys- tematically arranging the work. Brother democrats, let me urge upon every demo- crat in this important part of Jefferson county the necessity of coming out and putting your shoulders to the wheel, and each man discharging his full duty. We can, without doubt, roll up handsome majority in the coming election with proper effort, but we cannot lie supinely upon our backs and hug the delusive hope and assurance that we will be all right any way and hope without effort to win. So, again, let me urge each man who feels the Importance of the success of the democratic party to come out and assume your share of the responsibilities and work necessary to the success of our party. JOHN E. MILES.

SECOND EDITION.
RAILWAY NEWS AND GOSSIP

Travel on the several dummy and elec- tric lines of the city was unusually large on Sunday, and the various pleasure re- sorts were patronized by immense crowds. The Bessemer and Birmingham dummy line had an extra large patronage, owing to the inauguration of summer excursion rates. Many Birmingham people went to Bessemer, and many Marvel City people came here and went to East Lake to en- joy the summer concert of Prof. Henri Weber's band. The electric cars on the East Lake line were taxed to the.r ca pacity, but cars came and went with re- markable accuracy.
 Avondae, North Birmingham and Ilakeview had large crowds, and the cool water and shady groves were enjoyed be- yond measure.

President Kruger's government is intol-

lose the headship of South Africa. There
is great deal Of talk now about getting
ut the guilty person behind Jameson g

assumed to be Mr.. Rhodes-a short

Behind the reform committee, who
merely found an ally in Mr.. Rhodes,

softened by soaking it in little cold
water, then dissolved, together with the
sugar, in tho glycerin by aid of heat
over water bath. To this the dyes are
added, after which the oil is we'll stir
