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 8. 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 I offer a safe sure cure and perfect privacy.

Why Lowell Escaped.

Utica Observer.
 The reason why Lowell was never cen- sured or even criticised for disparaging remarks about protection in public speeches while minister to England is that in the days of James Russell Lowell the republican party was not protec- tionist party. It was then promising to reduce the tariff as soon as the necessi- ties imposed by the wer permitted such a reduction.

TOM JOHNSON HAS TROUBLE.
Prospect That He May Have a Street Rail-

PROSPECT that lie May nave q street R0ils
way Strike on His Hands.
DETROIT, Jan. ga meeting of the
Street Railway Employees association, to
which every street railway employe in the
city has been invited. began early this
morning in Light Infantry armory. The
difficulty which led to this meeting is the
discharge of James Grant, formerly one of
the assistant superintendent of the Citi-
zens' Street Railway company, from the
company's employ. Grant alleges that
Tom l.. johnson, president of the COM
pany, discharged him because he had been
selected as an arbitrator in one of the dis
putes between the company and its en-
ployes.
President johnson refused to re-employ
Grant, who is now acting as assistant sec
retary of the employees union. About S0'
men were present at the meeting. After a
short discussion a vote was taken which
resulted, with but few dissenting votes, in
declaring Grant regular member of the
union. Another vote was taken demand
ing that Grant be rethstated in the Citi-
zens' coInpany's employ. X President
johnson refuses arbitration viii be re-
sorted to under the agreement in force.
II johnson declines to arbitrate the
matter will go to the executive board of
the national association. Secretary Smith,
OF the union. said that any prospect of
calling the men out over this matter is rs
yet exceedingly remote.

The canvass we have already made and
