TRIBUTE TO AN EX-SLAvE.

A telegram from GALLON. Ala, an
nounced to us on Sunday the sudden
dea tn of Chas. Marx. Familiarity know n
in the fa1nily.and to many citizers of Bir-
minghaln as a"Old Uncle Charles" He
had ben a faithful servant in our family
for more than fifty years continuously,
and during all that long Tina nothing
could be, said, of him except in praise.
He was born in Notaway county, Va,
more than seventy-tive years ago, ard
came to Gallon, Ala. a mere boy. His
death was as keenly felt in our family
and all the connections of the Browden
family as if he had been of our kith a
kin, and we part from him with many
pangs Of regret. He possessed mary en-
nobiing virtues of which many white
people might be proud. Conspicu 0us
among them was gratitude to and fidelity
for Dr. and Mrs. Browder. his cid master
and mistress. and their descendants. The
interest he always displayed in anythi g
affecting their welfare and happiness was
O. beautiful tribute to his character, ard
northern minds, that such tender ties as
he manifested could not attach sincerely
Between ma ster and freed slave.
Had he witnessed the work of art by
Winnie Ream symbolizing Lincoln str.k-
ing the manicleS from the wrists of the
slave, its sentiment would have been lost
upon him. He had nothing to do with
politics, abstaining always from voting
and expressed himself always loyal to
his wh:te friends and people He hal
strong religious convictions and believed
conscientiousIy and firmly in future re-
wards ard punishments.
Taking him all in ali / never knew a
more humble servant nor better man
thar Old Uncle Charles was throughou
the long period of his simple life. Nor
one who has more justly earned the
tribute of well done, thou good and
faithful servant
He was laid to rest yesterday on the
old plantation. Where he had 50 long and
faithfully labored, followed by cor
course of sorrowing friends, both black
and white.
Awaiting the resurrection morn and
final Judgment, to pass to his full reward.

Cases Yesterday-Health Off
GERS Urge Vaccination.

The situation in Birmingham, so far
as the existing epidemic is concerned,
is greatly modified and a sense of relief
is manifest on all sides
Only two cases were reported to the
health board yesterday UP to sunset and
these were removed to the pest house.

At meeting of the health board last
night it was decided that the papers of
the city be requested to announce that
all persons who have been vaccinated
and same has failed to become effective
after nine days, should go to their ply
stefan and have the work repeated.
The matter of vaccination is by no
means an unimportant one, as health is
one of the greatest essentials of life and
vaccination is safeguard against small
pox.
This work of vaccination and sanitation
is being pushed ,apidiy and systematical-
ly, ard it Is only matter of short
time when the city will be completely
oyerhauled and perfectly clean and all
her citizens prepared to withstand a
siege of small pox or any other cpl
denic.
A STUBBORN CASE
negress living on Twenty-fourth
street near Eighth avenue named Fanny
Swanson was reported to the health
board as being a small poX patient and
Gen. Geo. L. Thomas went in search Of
her. 1t is said she acquired the disease
from her son who came here recently
from Memphis.
General Thomas has been to her home
several times but failed to find the wo-

only matter of short time, however,
before she will be caught and sent on
top of the mountain, and with her all who
