hall with pr. McMiller Presently the latter arose and went into rear room for a drink of water. He had not been there long before Dr. Robinson was sl.tl'tled by a loud call for aid.
 He rushsd into the room and found pr. McMiller sitting in chair. His face showed great suffering and he was gasping for breath. Dr. Glass was sum moned but the afflicted man was in th=, rthroes of death. In a few minutes he was a corpse, and his remains were car- red to his sorrowing family at Nine teenth street and Sixth avenue.
 Deceased leaves a wife, @ daughter and three sons. They are Mrs. McMiller l. the qelict, Mrs, Hugh McNutt, Walter McMillef, of New York, and Teddie and Forest McMiller. The funeral will take place today at 10 o'clock.
 Dr. P. K. McMiller has been a resi- dent of Birmingham about ten years, and for number of years was engaged in the drug business.
 He was one of ths ten original reorga- nizers of the Regents of the White Shield and was it's supreme inspector when he died
 The deceased was prominently idenlti- fled with the Confederate veterans or ganization, being the secretary of Camp Hardee.
 Dr. McMiller was born in Maryland fifty-nine years ago. He came to Ala bama and settled in Marengo county few years before the war, and when hostilities began between Yankeedom and the south he sprang to arms for the confederacy. He fought under Longstreet and was in the Virginia campaign. His body bore the heros wounds. A wound received in battle necessitatsd the amputation of his an- kle long after the war closed.
 In Birmingham pr. P. K McMiller numbered his friends by the hundred. They admired him and they loved him and their sympathies are sincere to- ward the deceased's bereaved family.
 Camp Hardee, Attention.
 The members of Camp Hardee are or dersd to meet at headquarters at a. m. today in uniform and badges to att=nd the funeral of our late comrade, Adjt F. J. McMiller at p. m., at the First M. E. church, south.

From a recent article on the lumber
industry of Maine by Samuel l.. Board
man of Bangor, these interesting sta
tistics are cleaned The forest area
of Maine is about 10. SOS 900 acres, which
is more than two-thirds of the entire
forest area in New England, and which
would cover an extent seven times as
large as the celebrated black forest in
Germany. Maine has the largest per-
centage of forest of any state in the
Union. A fraction of more than one in
five of all the voters, numerically con-
sidered, are occupied in the production
of lumber and its transportation. An
average of 10000 men find labor each
winter in the Maine forests. The State
has about 1900 lakes. covering 300
square miles at n mean elevation OF
600 feet above the sea.
