THE GOVERNOR FAv0RS IT.
Will Communicate With the Exposition Au-
 thorty Today.

Gov Johnston was asked tonight as to what he thought of the proposition to postpone Alabama Day at the Nash vile exposition on account of the yellow fever excitement and the troublesome quarantine regulations. He replied that the advantage of postponing Alabama Day for two or three weeks had already occurred to him and that it was his in tention to communicate with the exposi- tion authorities at Nashville tomorrow regarding the matter
 He said he had already caused one postponement or the day from the latter part of June until Sept 29, and he hesi- tated about requesting the management to change their plans again, but it was obvious tsat the attendance would be so much larger and the day so much more of a success later on that he had concluded to submit .ths matter to the exposition authorities. The governor antimated that he would be influenced almost entirely by their convenience in other words that he would not insist on postponemen'5 unless it was agreeable ito the exposition management.

HUMAN PACKAGES.
hipping Children by Express From Europe to
 Points in America.

From the New York Journal. For Hoboken. two boys; for Mount
 Carmel. one girl; for New York, one girl. rl."-From an up-to-date manifest of an ocean steamer.
 Four little human express packages walked ashore yesterday from fhe steamer Havel, of the North German Lloyd line. A tag on the breast showed the name and the destination of each of thes4 bundles of rags and bones and
 hanks of hair,' animate freight shipped by relatives and consigned to parents. The tags provoked unusual attention
 to the wearers, both on ship and on dock On the trip across the ocean the tagged babies were the pets of the steer age passengers, and at the wharf were regarded as the notable ones among those who arrived.
 The writing upon one tag was Fine

 West Ninety-fifth street, New York" This Herman Greiner is shoemaker,
 who came to America to make for
 tune driving pegs and sewing leather.
 He left little Emile in Germany until he could afford to send for her. For a few years he has been driving pegs as- siduously to earn money to pay the fare of his little daughter. A month ago he sent letter to the relatives in Germany
 with whom Emile was living asking them to send the child to him. He had begged enough to pay the cost of the trip.
 ! Emelie, who is Il years old, made a
 long journey by land to Bremen, and there, tagged for New York, she board
 ed the steamer. Her father met her at
 the barge office on the arrival of the steamer, ard last evening there was feast in Ninety-fifth street.
 s Dorothy yrab, Mount Carmel, Pa.," was written. on the tag of a fair-haired
 little maiden, only years old. No one
 met her when the steamer arrived, and,
 wearing her express tag. she was trans
 ferred from the steamer to train to
 complete her long journey.
 Johann Kofb and Karl Kolb, 8 years
 and years old, respectively, were ad-
 dressed to Hobolken. Their parents met
 them and took them across the North
 river to their new home.
 On the voyage from Bremen, Emelie
 Grefner, serene with the dignity that comes when one is "eleven and past"
 exercised a kindly superintendence over
 little Dorothy and the Kolb boys, her care for the smaf,er tagged children de- lighting the adult passengers. who made
 babies. The children became close friends on the steamer, each chattering in German about the tugs on the others.

WANT ALABAMA DAY PUT OFF Yellow Fever Day Would Affect
 Attendance. GOV. JOHNSON FAVORS II President Thomas of the Centennial Says Alabama Can Have Day in the
 Latter Part of October.
GOV. JOHNSON FAvORS l

A great many Alabama people desire pcstponemen6 Of .Aiabama Day at the Nashville Centennial until 4he present yellow fever scare has subsid,ed.
 This suggestion has ariasn from two fold desire on the paat of representative Alaibamiars to make decided success of the occasion and to have it occur at such a time when no one wishing to at tend the Centennial from the state of Alabama shall be prevented or hindered from going by reason of the quarantine of Tennessee against Alabama. Irish American day, observed Tuesday, would have been a much more decided success if the yellow fever scare had not existed. It is urged in connection bth the post ponenent of the date. by those who are in favor of such a step ,hat people fir tn the northern portions of the state would mot attend the Centennial on he pres enlt daae set, even if the Nashville au- rhorities should permit people from the southern portions of the state to atten1. However, a negative Elimination is ex- pressed in the following telegram from J. w. Thomas, president of the Certen- mia1 in reply to a telegram sent by the Age-Herald as to whether or not the quarantine would be raised by the Ten messee authorities against all points in Alabama on Alabama Day:
 Nashville, Tenn, Sept. g, 1897. Birmingham Age-Herald, Birmingham m,
 Ala.
 If the governor and commissioners rep resentlng the state of Alabama desire Alabama Day postponed we could give them day in ,the latter part of October.

 The committee on Alabama Day from Birmingham is composed Of B. Steiner, M. " Joseph, w. J. Miner, F. Y. An derson, T. T. HiAman, Rufus N Rhodes, P H. Earle and Asa Roundtree.
