THE BIRMINGHAM LYCEUM
MEMBERSHIP WILL PR0BALY BE
 LIMITED TO 250.
If So Only Fifty Memberships Remsin to Be Taken, and These win Be Filled
 This Week.

It is probable that only 250 members will be taken into the Birmingham Ly- ceum this year.
 The reason is this: That at the be- ginning of the summer when the organ ization of the Lyceum was begun. it was completed in tim-. This not being SD another place will have to be used. It now seems probable that the Seals hall will be used, though the opera house~is also being considered. Saals hall con tains only 512 seats. If this hall is used only 250 members can be taken, since each member received two admissions to every lecture. Tne present enfpll- ment is 200. and therefore only 50 more can be accommodated if Seals hall is used.
 The difference in cost of the Seals hall and opera houss,, unless the opera house gives a low rate, will make it more ad- vantageous to use the smaller hall, with the smaller membership. The same luuiUSI Ul t1i OC PiOftuNo iAi Seals hall with 25O members that can be given in the opera house with 300 members.
 H. K White, secretary of the Lyceum, was seen yesterday in regard to the matter He said that it was true that the membership would possibly have to be limited In this case no admissions would be sold to the public at the door, hear the lectures.
 If it is decided, therefore, to use the Seals hall, a good many people will fail to hear the brilliant course of lectures.
 The management have about decided upon the full course of ten numbers, which is as follows:
 Bob Burdette, ths humorist, October.
 Dr. Robert Mcintyre, October.
 Henry Watterson (on Lncoln), Novem- Der.
 Gen. John B. Gordon, December. .ary.
 Ex-Senator J. J. Ingalls, February. pr. Frank w. Gunsaulus, March.
 George Kennan, March.
 pr. Geo. c. Lorimer, of Boston, April.
 Mozart Symphony club February.
 These lectures will cost the members only 20 cents. Each member gets two admissions to the entire ten numbers twenty admissions for $5.
 The course will begin in October. The additional fifty members will doubtless be got today and if the Seals hall is used, none others will or can bs received
 H. c. Middleton, secretary of the Southern Lyceum association, who is in the city, was asked about the practice of limiting the membership. He said: Columbus, Ga., limits her membership and allows none but Lyceum members to hear the lectures; Augusta does the same thing this year. At 25 cents the lectures are cheap enough, and by limit ing the enrolment, as you will be obliged to do if you go to the smaller hall, noth- ing would be lost to the members-only the public who would like to attend the lectures suffering.'' MT. Middleton said that nineteen cities dn the south had or ganized lyceum boards-last December there was only one.

As fast as the basket is filled they are thrown into a large circular tank On the inside of this tank is a cage of steel wire. This cage Is kept revolving. and the letters are shuffled and turned for an hour. During this time the fumes of sulphurie acid are going through them. Medical authority is most emphatic in the assertion that no germ can survive this fumigation.
 Following the acid permeation comes a steam bath, which continues for sev- eral minutes, and the letters are then emptied into a bag, which in the mean time has also been fumigated.
 The letter is then sent on it's way, and 1t reaches you in good sanitary condi- tion, but probably day or two late.

A silly Girl.

Philadelphia Times.
A pretty young lady has just returned
from her summer outing with a decided
Disagreement on her charming face, as the
outcome of one of those reckless and sense
less wagers which are a distinguishing
feature of the silly seashore season. The
girl, who is a prominent belle in her own
exclusive circle, made an unimportant bet
with certain young man. whose name be-
gins with an NJ, and lost IL. The penalty
was. that for the space of one month she
should wear in the middle of each cheek
a piece of court plaster cut in the shape of
the letter NJ, and only remove it in time
for the last ball she would attend at the
Casino previous to returning to New York.
The result is that on the honest sunburn
of her cheeks stands out in bold white re-
lief the letter M, and as the terms of the
bet distinctly prohibit the use Of paint,
cosmetic or powder to conceal the marks
nothing but time will efface them. OF
course, II was the silliest of silly wagers
but the girl who made it has the totally
unfeminne characteristic of keeping her
word at all hazards. and so the friends who
gathered under the paternal roof TO well
come her back TO the metropolis have had
the shock of beholding the hideous results
of her egregiouS folly.
