SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
One Hundred and Fifty Delegates Will Attend
 That at Bessemer.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald
 BesSenar, Nov. 30.--Cns hundred and fifty delegate is the estimated number of delegates that will attend the Jeffsr- son County Sunday School convention here in Bessemer on Dsc. and 10. It will be the largest gathering of ,he kind ever held in th's county, it's objeo. being to prepare for the coming state conven- tion in Birmingham.
 Arrangements are about completed for tba entertainment. of the visitors and to- day the programme was handed to the printer, which, when printed, will be dis Itribr,ted all over the county.
 Whether the resu1c of the survey by the government engineers developed the feasibility of the projected Warrior canal or not. there is here in Bets mer no i'm formation. But one fact thsr was de vefoped by their survey or g'sodetic ob- servations was a surprise to Bessemsr, and that was the disc,osure of the g-o- logical fact thai. B ssemer Is In a higher altitude than Birmingham.
 The bench mark placsd by the survey ors on the step of the office of the Bes- ssnpsr Land and Improvement company is 24 feet higher than the bench mark placed by them on the p3ctoffice at Bir- mingham.
 Besssmer is thirteen miles below B.r- ninghlam-that much nearer tidewater, following the flow of The streams. But Bessemer is 65 feet above the level of the waters of Valley creek, while in Birming- ham Valley creek is practically on the levsi of the city site. That accounts for the phenomenon.

SEVEN DEATHS TIE RESULT Mixed Alcohol and Whisky Sold
 to LaborerS. DEADLY POISON PRODUCED. Many Farmers and Railroad Hands Drank the Connection and the Death List May
 Reach Tweniy-FOur.


 Special to The Age-Herald.
 Maplesville, Nov. 30-Seven men are dead and seventeen more are not ex- pected to live as the result from drink ing a mixture composed of cheap alco- hol and cheap whisky. 4
 Bill Anderson and J. L. Jones, farmers living near here, purchased the liquor in Selma recently and retailed it to farm CTS and railroad employees working on the Mobile and Ohio extension, which is being graded by here.
 After drinking the deadly connection the men were taken violently i'll, and as no physician was near at hand, some of them died before medical attention could be given them.
 Anderson and his colleague are among the dead. The unfortunates are both white and negroes. The affair has created a great sensation among the farmers, and the negroes in the railroad camps are scared out of their wits.
 Account From Selma
 Special to The Age-Herald.
 Selma Nov 30.-Word reached here this morning of a terrible happening in Chtlton courIty near the camps of the Montgomery Tuscaloosa and Memphis railroad at Billingsley.
 Last Friday MT. J. L. Jones ordered and received from Selma a gallon and half of wood alcohol. Sunday w. H. Andersen and himself were driving out toward the camp, and drank some whis- key dn which the alcohol had been mixed. When they had gone few miles Mir Jones cried out: Anderson I am dying and in less than it takes to tell it fell into a heap in the boahom of the buggy. Anderson drove rapidly home with the corpse of his friend.
 Anderson himself was soon taken sick and yesterday evening died.
 Up at the camp, where the two men had evidently disposed of some of the liquor with the alcohol in it, white man and two negroes are reported to have died yesterday, and that three more are very sick and expected ito die.
 The alcohol was plainly labeled, For mixing paint only, D and the men are alone responsible for the fatal results.

We are still in Washington, and
have as yet been unable to visit the
places of public interest; on our ar
rival here the worst weather OF the
winter kept us in doors; then Her
Majesty suffered from the prevalent
influenza and did not leave her
apartments for a fortnight, after
which it was found that on account
of the crowded condition OF the
Shoreham for the approaching in
auguration, it would be best to
change to quieter lodgings, which
were found at the Cairo, our present
address,
Prior to leaving the hotel Her
Majesty called on the ladies residing
there who had called on her during
her stay she was accompanied by
the three individuals attached to
her suite, and it was great pleasure
to us to notice the cordiality and
respect with which she was received.
1t has been universally recognized
in Washington that any title be,
comes extinct only by the death OF
the person once entitled to it. In
no instance has Her Majesty been
addressed or introduced by any
other than her royal title, and this
hint is respectfully commended tc
the consideration OF those now pos
ing as "The Hawaiian Republic" OF
to their supporters, Only those
ignorant of history, past or present
would need this information.
Whatever may be said through
the columns Of the public press
there have been no diplomatic or
rands betwixt the Shoreham and the
White House. Besides the persona
calls in response to invitations from
President and Mrs. Cleveland, He
Majesty requested her Hawaiian
and her American secretaries to cal
at the Office of Hon. Fl. X. Thurbel
private secretary to the President
for the purpose Of expressing he
thanks for the courtesies received
and advising him of her change @
residence. A day was chosen whe
the President was absent, and no at
tempt on either side was made t
discuss politics.
But the very day of this call an
also the day prior to our remova

ED. THE INDEPENDENT:-


In last evening issue OF The IN
DEPENDENT you do me the honor OF
noticing with comments certain re-
marks purporting to have been made
by me at the last meeting of the
Board of Health.
In answer thereto | would like to
state that the quotation is not quite
correct. | said that in the opinion
of physicians the use Of meat and
milk of turberculous cattle is one
OF the causes OF the sprad of con-
sumption.
1t may be interesting to glance at
the statistics furnished by our own
mortality reports.
In 1894, there were 62 deaths in
Honolulu of which number rs were
due to consumption, 1872 OF these
were Asiaties, 10 Americans, 1
British, 2 Germans, q Hawaiians, 2
Portuguese and Sweden.
In 1895, the total number of deaths
WAS 73l, 20 OF them consumption,
% Asiatics, 6 Americans, 2 British,
36 Hawaiians and / Portuguese.
In 1896, there were 673 deaths, 65
from consumption, 20 Asiatics, 6
Americans, 2 British, l German, ~
Hawaiians, 3 Portuguese and |
Tahitian.
1t will be seen from this statement
OF nationalities that the heavy per-
centage OF deaths from consumption
cannot be due, as you suggest, to
the influx OF invalids in 0search OF
health but rather that the great
majority OF the victims contracted
disease here.
did not intend to give the impres
sion that tuberculous cattle were
the only or even the principal souc'
of contagion, but merely one mean
of spreading the disease, and on
which is within our control. W.
cannot make all of the people tax
proper care OF themselves when the.
ara physically below par. We can
not make the Hawaiians and other
} observe the ordinary rules OF health
but we can prevent the diaries fror
harboring tuberculous cattle.
Is it not our duty to do so2
Leaving out of the question tn
possibility of contagion is it not th
duty of the Board of Health to se'
so far as it is within it's power, thi
pure food is supplied to the con
! munityY Would you, Mr.. Edito
, enjoy drinking milk from tube
culous COW you knowing it to /
such, would there be a speci'
relish to your rare, juicy roast.
: you knew the lympathics tina
permeate the tissues were full {
bacilli?
y We know the death rate from col
o sumption is at least 10 perceI
which means that 10000 of Il
q people now living on these islanc
are doomed sooner or later to die
this dreadidisease. 1t seems to n
y that we are bound to take ever
n measure possible TO mitigate sue
O an awful calamity and the destru
= tion Of the tuberculous cattle
;, certainly a very pratical one.

Even those OF the opposition party
muet approve without qualification
her dignifed silence. II her friends
will continue to print articles in her
favor, l know OF no method for her
to prevent this. AS for myself | am
free to say that my opinions are
well-known on all matters come cted
with Hawaii, my information was
obtained in many instances from
those directly opposed to her Gov
ernment; but 1 have now made far
less use of my pen in her defense,
for the self-evident reason that l
would avoid imputing to Her
Majesty anything over my own name.
