BIRMINGHAM TRADES COUNCIL

Holds a Semi Monthly Meeting-Plum-
bers' Trouble Arranged.
A regular semi-mont9lly meeting of the
Trades Council was held Sunday after
noon.
A report of the legislative committee
was made by Mr.. w. II. Stanley, con-
corning the proposed two weeks pay bill
and the anti-commissary bin. the passage
of which the Trades Council is seeking.
Mr.. Stanley reported favorable progress
and stated that he had encouragement
from legislators.
A number of communications were read
and filed, one of which was from the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor relating to the recent
plumbers trouble in which the Alabama
Gas Fixture and Plumbing company fig
cred. The committee reported that in
asmuch as the company was employing
union men and paying union prices the
council could not dictate whether the
company should or should not belong to
an employers union.
The council sustained the report Of the
committee pending the action of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and this temporarily
ends the plumbing trouble so far as the
Alabama Gas Fixture and Plum bling COM
Dany is concerned.

CARD FROM F. v. EVANS.
Nominee of the City Democracy Makes a
Sweeping Denial Of Charges Made
Always Voted Straight Ticket.
To the Demo

To the Democracy of Birmingham:
1t was my purpose to refrain from
rushing into print" in this campaign,
but In Justice to you who have placed the
standard of democracy in my hands it is
but right that should deny the charges
which seeks to impeach my party loyalty.
1t is hardly necessary for me to say that
your nominee is a partisan of the strict
est sect. The first vote ever cast by me
was for a man whom 1 was taught to
hate from my infancy-Horace Greeley.
/ cast my vote for him because he was
the nominee OF my party, and up to this
day / have never bolted that party,
though disagreeing many times with
some Of its policies and nominations. In
the municipal election of 1892, though
feeling that / myself had been named in
the primary campaign, / yielded to the
verdict and supported the ticket which
held the commission. Likewise I voted
for the nominees In 1894. AS is well
known to many was not In full accord
with my party on its financial plank, yet
have never allowed my dissenting opin-
ion on one feature TO overshadow its
general verdict.
After the Chicago convention gentle
man, Who like myself, had been a life
long democrat, sent me document ask
ing that do him the favor of handing it
to several gentlemen for their signatures
1t read as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned democrats, find
ing that we are not fully in accord with
the principles announced in the platform
of the national democratic convention re-
Gently held at Chicago, ILL.,, hereby unite
in call for meeting of all democrats
who are in any way opposed to said plat
form, in order that such action as may be
deemed necessary may be taken"
1 could see no harm In holding a con-
ference of democrats who felt disappoint-
ed at the action Of their party conven-
ton, SO did hand the petition to a num-
Der of gentlemen, as requested. In the
course of a few weeks the list Of names
having been augmented. through the 30
licitatlon of others was asked by sever
al gentlemen to 60 with them to an Office
of publication to arrange for inserting
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-11-24

the names to a call for meeting at
Lakeview, which did never at any
time participated in any conference with
a committee or party of gold men after
th ebiGa g G25 SSn8fB 9 u the hot 1pP Rg
view meeting. I did not at any time join
club antagonistic to the Chicago con-
ven. Whensthe bolt Became apparent my
connection With the whsle movement
CEASED; as did that of many other dem
ocrsts, who, like myself, never had and
never did bolt the ticket, but whose
names were signed 70 said petition. My
vote was cast Nov. 8 for the Bryan and
Sewail electors solidly.
1 trust that the above is a sufficient
answer to the charges that have been
preferred against your nominee for the
office of mayor by those whose desire 1t IS
to defeat the city democracy at the polls
on the first day of December. With full
reliance upon the zeal, activity and hon
est purpose of our friends and supporters,
there is no such word as fail.
Very respectfully,
LIZ E=.r FRANK V. EVANS.

CAPE HATTERAS' LIGHT.
The Skeleton Tower Planned for Outer
 Diamond Shoai.

One of the greatest engineering feats of the day is to be attempted by the Lighthouse Board. For years the offi- cers in charge of lighthouses have talk ed of station on Outer Diamond shOal, a particularly dangerous point off Cape Hatteras, celebrated among mariners for its fearful storms.
 The structure is to stand in about B feet of water, and will be supported on disk piles sunk 30 feet fn the sand. The floor of the watch house will be 41 feet above high water. Forged steel will be used in the main structure, and the principal joints and connections will be of steel castings. The essential parts below the water line will be of massive dimensions.
 The structure will be of the skeleton style, and therefore will leave the sea full play. The section which will be most affected by the force of the waves is that extending from 13 feet below the water line to IT feet above, and in this section a system of framing will be used which will be at once strong, simple and rigid. The house for the lonely keepers and the stores and the room for fog signals apparatus are to be of iron or steel and will be fireproof. A boat will swing from an arm, so that the'keepers may abandon the place if there Is likelihood of the structure be- ing demolished.
 Whether Hatteras and it's dangerous outer shoal are to be guarded by lighthouse built on the plan of the light house board or simply by an inexpen- sive light vessel, probably will depend

PADDING THEIR HEADS.
New York Women Being Artificially Wi

New York Women Being Artificially wid-
 ened Tn the Top Story.
 The women of New York are padding their heads. It is secret of fashion dom, patented, and from Paris. It isn t that they wish to give the impression that their brains are as big as the brains of their brethren it isn't that the new woman idea has swelled their crani- ums; it isn't an insidious way of re- venging themselves on the public for the crusade against the theater bonnet it isn't a rivalry with the football hir- sutal glories, or the glory of Paderew- skis expansive aureole. It is simply the latest fashion.
 For the sweet simplicity of sleek heads and parted locks is passe, and the pompadour is revived. It is a fluffy pompadour, and long drawn out. It is pompadour, soft and full, which reach- es around to the crown of the head. where the coil is fastened. Such pom- padour is not to be produced unless mil lady's crown of glory is plentiful and of the soft, dry quality which lends it.  self to the crinkling perguasions of the curling iron. Even then the proper uni form bouffant effect of the new pompa- dour is hard to achieve.
 Here comes in the secret from Paris. It is a new merveilleuse pompadour frame, almost like cap-light, hollow, springy and fitting neatly beyond the ears. Invisibility is certain, as these frames arc composed of real hair and are made in shades to match all colors of tresses. It is merely development of the feminine fad for expansion that has run the gamut of crinolined sleeves and skirts, cheek bumpers and hip pads, bust forms and bodice filings, false calves and improved" insteps, and has now reached the crown of milady's head with a rounding out effect that promises a proportionate increase in big hats. s.-New York World.

No English Better Than English.

A new argument against college ath- letics has been invented-the deplorable effect which they have on ''good Eng fish" by grating upon it "the coarse language of sports. The plea, says the New York Times, is truly amusing What on earth is "good English any how? So far us we know, there is no English better than English, and no writer thereof has ever hesitated to use new words from any source, provided they expressed an idea more clearly, or even more picturesquely, than did those which formed the vocabulary of his grandfather. Shakespeare is full of the language of sports, I" ranging from fal- conry to pugilism, and if he lived today it is absolutely certain that he would glean words from the football fields and that college professors would de- nounce him for it. Really great men are like the common people, in that they never make a fetich of the parts of speech, never imagine that dictionaries or grammars settle anything, and never make the mistake of confounding live tongue with dead ones.

A SHIPS GRAVEYARD.
The Treacherous Jersey Shore Where tn
 St. Paul Went Ashore.

The Treacherous Jersey Shore Where the
 St. Paul Went Ashore.
 Norecord shows the number of wrecks on the Jersey coast, but the Long Branch shore is ships graveyard. The charac- ter of the shore changes about the mid dle of Long Branch. To the north it is thin coating of sand covering bot tomless silt. To the south it is solid sand, hard almost as a rock. The ship 1 that strikes that sand is almost certain ly gone. From the silt there is good chance of escape.
 Of the accidents similar to the St. Paul's mishap that have happened along the Jersey coast in the last 20 years that to the French line steamer L'Ameriaue is probably the best remembered. At 8 o'clock on the morning of Jan. 2, 1877, L'Amerique hit the sand off Seabright and stuck fast. Tugs and wrecking steamers worked at her for more than three months, trying to get her off the sand. The cargo was all lightered, but the steamer hung fast to the shore.
 A big storm drove her down the beach 600 feet at one time, but at the end of it she was no farther offshore than at the start. By Feb 22 the wreckers had moved her 120 feet away from the shore, and then came on shore gale which left the big liner farther on the beach than she had even been before. Finally, on April 10, the wrecking tugs succeed ed in pulling the ship out of the mud, and she was brought to New York con- paratively little damaged.
 While the wreckers were struggling with L'Amerique the Red Star liner Russland, the old Kenilworth, poked her nose into the hard sand just south of the West End hotel at Long Branch. She struck about half past 10 o'clock on the night of March 8, 1877, and big three cornered piece of her still sticks up out of the hard sand to mark her grave. She went on right over the wreck of the old grindstone laden Adon- is, and there never was a chance for her.
 There was a blanket of fog on Feb. 10, 1875, that sent three steamers ashore, and one of them never got off. The Queen of the National line and the France of the French line, both transat- lantic liners, struck the Jersey shore, the first at Squan and the second at Long Branch. It was in an unruf1ed sea, however, and both got off the next day. The Vicksburg of the Port Royal and Fernandina line saw Fire island light and thought it was Barnegat. She hit about 80 miles east of Fire island, and what is left of her lies there. The cook fell in, trying to get into small boat, and was drowned.
 Last summer the British tramp Ira waddy spent two or three weeks roofing about in the sand almost beside the fish ing pier at Asbury Park, but they got her out of it after hard pull. New York Sun.
