A table recently printed in the Spectator,
prepared by Frederick L. Hoffman, gives
the suicide record of the thirty principal
cities in this country for 1895 and 1896 The
total for the latter year was 1899, against
1926 for 1S95-an increase of 49, or about
9.5 per cent. The population of the cities
named was over 81 per cent of the total
population of the United States.

OUR WHOLESALE TRADE.
Birmingham Becoming a Formida ble Rival to the Eastern Clties-Glatify- E
 ing Growth During the Past Year.

qt Is a gratifying fact that the whole sale trade of our city is assuming such proportions as to rank our market with the best eastern cities, and the heaLh hful forward movemsri. made the past year ' in extending our territory and establish ing our ability ito successfully compete : with the older marke.s has given us a basis for larger and more extended oper- ations in the future.
 Birmingham has superior advantages in the way of railway facilities, which open up rich territory, and the only drawback to our supremacy in the past has been our lack of capital and system behind our business men.
 - This lack has been supplied in She great department stores of the Messrs. Drennen, whose wholesale departments are pushing goods of every description into gowns and territories never before reached by our city. The department stores make as clear-cut inducements in their jobbing departments as they do in their exclusively retail departments, thus enabling their wholesale customers to make prices the old single-llne whole sale men themselves cannot meet.
 The future of Birmingham's jobibng and wholesale business is an assured success.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
At Montgomery Beginning May IF, Promises to Be an Interesting Af-
 fair-List of Prizes.

Considera ble interest is being developed namend at Montgomery. on May IT, last ing three days, at which time the state championship will be determined.
 The Montgomery Tennis club is one of the largest and strongest tennis organ izations in the south, and they are ar ranging for this tournament to occur on their grounds at Cloverdale park and making extensive preparations therefor, according to all reports.
 Players. it is understood, will be pres ent from Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, An niston. Selma, Greensboro, Auburn, Greenville and other places, so the best talent will be present in force. A feat ure of the tournament will be the playing Of the ladies in the ladies singles and ladies doubles. The players of tennis are made up almost exclusively from the ranks of the young society people of the state and 1t will be a splendid sight to see them all coming tose ther at the Cap ital City in friendly rivalry.
 There are some crack tennis players in -this-city and two weeks practice should put them in splendid shape for a tournament. In fact there is no good reason why Birmingham cannot win at least one of the five matches, if our play CTS will only make up their minds to do it. A large delegation of friends should accompany them to Montgomery to en- courage and cheer them on in the final ma tches.
 The list of prizes is as follows:
 .Gentlemen's Singles-Silyer tennis tro- phy.
 Gentlemen's Doubles-Pair Victor Packets. .4r-.-e,4
 Mixed Doubles--Pair Spalding's Rack cts
 Ladies' Doubles-Pair Wright & Dftson Packets.
 Ladies' Singles-Pair opera glasses
 Second prizes will also be given in all events.
 The social clubs of Montgomery will also probably compliment the visitors by some special entertainments.

IN UNIFORM RANK Of Camp Hardee, United Con si federate Veterans, ( IS GROWING VERY RAPIDLY The Color To Be Used Will Be Gray--Wl
 Assist the Ladies of f.Aabama in Build:
 ing Confederate Home.

Camp Hardee, United Confederate Vet erans held a called meeting yes terday evening in their headquarters, with Camp Commander J. T. Meade in the chair and Secretary McMiller at the desk.
 The minutes of the last regular meet ing. were read and approved = t The committee on uniforms reported through it's chalman, Comrade Smith, that the total subscriptions to date were S315 with cash collections on same amounting to $102. On motion the camp decided that the color of the uniforms should be gray. ~ Comrade Johnston offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it be referred to the uniform committees with the addltion of Comrades John ". Johnston and George Gorff. to fix the rules and regula- tions under which the uniforms shall be delivered to the members the camp and worn by any member Of the camp, Wneth- CT the suit was furnished by the camp or not Carired.
 Gorff were added to the uniform rank committee .-.s7ssss-=.r- |. The adJutant on motion, was instruct ed to purchase a copy of Hardee's tactics for the use of the uniform, rank
 J. A. was proposed, and he was elected to membership in -he camp.
 Comrade Eggleston offered the folioW- ing resolution, which was adopted:
 Resolved, That the camp protests against the publication of articles refat- ing to the lives of confederate generals that are unfair and unjust. That such sin article relating to Stonewa1l Jackson appeared in the State Herald of last Sum- day, we doubt not inadvertently.
 Comrade s. L. Robertson offered the following resolution, which was adopted:
 Whereas, Camp Hardee has heard with great pleasure of the movement inauguraded by the lady representatives of the literary clubs of the state at An riiston during the past week to erect home for confederate veterans of Ala ba ma; that we feel assured that if the noble and cultivated women of this state put their hands and headts to this work it will be accomplished; therefore, re- solved, rt,--
 1. That we take this the first occasion 10 express cur approval and deep interest in this movement, and desire to cooper ate in all ways we can to secure con- summation so devoutly to be wished. -2. That we call upon all the camps of veterans of the state to unite with us in uphoiding the hands of these dear wo- men and encouraging them in the &C., complishment of this purpose.

i. The cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla are Cures.
 The case of young Joseph Harper was a terribly tenacious one, but Hoods Sarsaparilla, fairly tried, ef- :. fected perfect and permanent cure.
 The letter above, recently received from Joseph's father, shows how the parents hearts arc still overflowing with gratitude to Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the particulars of the case below are interesting to all who need or contemplate taking blood purifier or Spring Medicine.
 "C. l. Hood & Co.,, Lowell, Mass:
 "There is continued joy in our home because of what Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for our son Joseph. We are as sure that Hoods Sarsaparilla saved his life as that the sun shines. My wife and and our three boys left Staffordshire, Eng land, to come to America. On board the ship they were yaccinated. As result, Joseph, the second boy, had a very sore arm, so bad at one time that we were afraid it would have to be taken of. At length it seemed to get well, but about two months after, he began to complain of soreness in the vaccinated arm. He had occasionally shown some signs of scrofula. His arm grew worse and be- came swollen and covered with sores., The inflammation and sores spread all

over his body,and he was @ mass oi corruption,
 '',,'se Pitiaoie to Behold,
 A misery to himself and almost breaking our hearts with anguish over his dreadful condition. No one could bear to care fol and attend to him but his mother.
 "Truly, mothers love lasts the longest
 "Many' time did I wish he was dead and-out-of misery. The moaning and cry ing of the poor child were heart rending, and his mother spent hours in
 t.'-e Tears of Sympathy.
 The eruption was especially severe back of his ears and all over his head and the lower part of his face. We had to cut of all his hair we could, as it was impossible to comb through the mass of hard crust and matter: Physicians said it was a blood disease caused by impure vaccina- tion, but did him no good. The sores were actually eating into his ears so that we were afraid they would come off, and the holes. and scars are visible even now. When medical skill seemed exhausted we took the boy to the Eye and Ear Hospital. There happened to be two physicians, specialista, there besides the regular doe- tor. The three examined Joseph, and said
 Nothing Could Be Done for him, that he should be taken to the hospital in Chambersburg. But his mother did not want to have the child, even in his pitiable condition, taken away

1t Was Really Marvellous.

"I have been a neighbor of MT. Har- per's family for several years and know the terrible condition their boy Joseph was in. thought he would never get well. They did everything possible to cure him, but all medicines failed till they gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla, which has effected marvellous cure, just as stated above. It is the most wonderful cure have ever heard of." MRS. H. 0. CHANGE, wife of Rev. H. c. Chance, 16 Woodland Street, Trenton, N. J.
