must not be generalized to the extent
Of believing that all Wounds will es-

tosepsy is not TO be neglected, it is
the primary form which alone affords
good chances of success. Hence every
thing must be done to assure it's rig

staff with the fighting line must there
fore be numerous n well equipped
with antiseptic material.
Although the a%ntiseptic method may
not completely do away with infec-
ton of wounds received in battle, it
will, at all events, make it extremely
rare. Thanks to it, surgery will be of
an essentially life saving order. It is
no longer a question of waiting with
folded arms while nature does her
work, and aiding her only with proper
diet and regular dressings. The enemy
must be actively fought-here by go
ing deep to stop a hemorrhage, there
by taking away sequestra, which are
dangerous; again by cleansing the fur
rows, however profound they may be,
or by suturing impaired organs, which
formerly could not have been touched.
This militant surgery can now under
take anything, thanks to the antisep-
tic method, and although the tissues
must be edalt with parsimoniously, they
should no be pared when there is no
hope of their healing or danger of
their arresting recovery of the whole
organism.
Except in rare cases, such as COM
plete destruction of important arteries,
amputation should not be resorted to.

Probing a wound must be avoided
except when absolutely necessary. Ex-

taken before each operation of this
sort to thoroughly cleanse the hands
with brush, sublimate and alcohol.

Thanks to antisepsy, army surgery
will henceforth be able to intervene in
wounds that hitherto have been too
difficult of treatment, such as those of

 The gentlemen named above have already seen nearly all of the real estate agents in the city, and have had numbcr of excel- lent offers, but they desire that everybody who has a piece of property that is suita- ble for the location of the hospital shall be given an opportunity to have the com mittea consider it.

OBSERVANCE
 OF TOM KIPPUR Most Sacred Day in the Jew-
 iSh Calendar. ALL WORK WAS LAID ASIDE
And the Devout Solemnized the Day With Fasting and Prayer Impress sive Ceremonies Held at Tenn
 pie Emanuel and Synagogue

"Yorh Kippur," or Day of Atonement, the began at sunset on Sunday afternoon and continued until the same hour yesterday, was duly observed by the Israelites of Bir- mingham.
 The stores of the Jewish merchants were closed throughout the day, and in conse- quence the business part of the city was noticeably quiet.
 The first services of the celebration were nelo Sunday evening at 7:3O o'clock at Temple Emanuel, corner of Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street, and at the Ortho- dox synagogue, in Twenty third street both places of worship being filled with large congregations ..,.,. conducted nd cteadobtS oby Rabbi Maurice Newfeld in his usual impressive manner The choir, under the direction of Professor Gucken- berger, added much to the impressiveness of the services.
 Rabbi Newfelds sermon was appropriate to the occasion, choosing as his subject: Charity and Kindness Our Atonement."
 During the services the "Kol Nidre," the oldest song in the history of the world which was chanted centuries ago, was sung, it's plaintive notes reaching to the hearts of the hearers who were thus brought closer to the traditions on which the solemn observance is based and placed in closer communion with the Almighty through repentance.
 Continuous services were held yesterday, beginning at 10 a. m. o'clock and lasting until p. m.
 Rabbi Newfield was assisted during the day by members of the congregation. At 430 p. m. memorial services were held, for the repose of souls of the dead.
 The devout members of the faith observe the day by a total abstinence from food or drink of any kind as a punishment or atonement for the sins committed during the past year.
 Services were held according to the ortho- dox ritual at Kresse Israel synagogue, Rabbi Grassberg officiating.
 At p. m. the worshippers repaired to their homes, where the long fast was broken.

SENTENCED FOR
 THE SECOND TIME
Y. c. Hughes Will Hang in Mo-
 vember Unless
THE GOVERNOR INTERCEDES
Convicted in 1893 of Murdering Negro Woman-Escaped With Four 9th ers-L Lived Exemplary Life Un-
 til Caught Some Time Ago.

For the second time the death sentence was yeretday passed upon Y. c. Hughes, the negro murderer, and unless Governor Johnston interferes the sentence of the law will be carried out on November IS next at high noon.
 Hughes was convicted in the criminal gro woman at Bessemer, in 1893, and was sentenced to be hanged on November 24 of the same year. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, and in September Hughes, with four other prisoners made their escape by cutting though the roof of the jail and letting themselves down with blankets.
 Nothing was ever heard of the rug1.IsS. until few weeks ago, when Hughes was arrested in east Alabama, living under an assumed name. A noticeable trait in the negro which aroused suspicion and ulti- mately resulted in his rearrest was his quiet demeanor and exceptionally good conduct. He had married and also became a devout member of the church, lived qui- etly at his home and seldom ever showed himself in any settled community. Inquir- ies were made by officers of the law and after some correspondence with the sher- e1eSA and brought back. He at first deneid his identity, but after being fully identified acknowledged that he was the right man.
 When his case was called in the supreme court the circumstances of his escape were made known to the judges, who dismissed the appeal.
 Hughes was taken before Judge Greene yesterday and resentenced to hang on Mo- vember IS next. He was cool and collected and had nothing to say. He maintains that he acted in self-defense and therefore should not be punished.
 An effort will be made to save the ne gros' life through Governor Johnston, who will be asked to commute the sentence to life Imprisonment
 It is argued in view of the fact that the supreme court did not go into the merits of the case because of his escape and his subsequent good conduct entities him to some consideration.
 It is also said that the woman he killed was a bad character and that his plea of self-defense is fairly well made out.
 These circumstances will be presented to the governor at once and it is possible that the second death sentence passed upon the man will not be carried out.

NOTHING DONE BY
 HAAS AND LONDON The Second Ninety Days Given Them
 Has Expired. NO NEW GAS PLANT BEGUN It is Said That They Were Unable to
 Float Bonds. FOR THE BI-PRODUCT PLANT Which They Talked About Building The People Are Waiting on the
 City Council to Free Them
 From the Monopoly.
FOR THE BI-PR0DUCT PLANT

The on0 hundred and eighty days allotted to the promoters of the new gas company by the city council have passed, and a mi- croscopic inspection fails to show where spade of dirt has been turned over
 The citizens of Birmingham have come to look upon the old gas company as the master of the situation. A franchise was granted to Messrs. Sol Haas and Alex London to furnish the city with gas. The time limit was ninety days, and this ex- pired without anything being done. The city council extendeb the time another ninety days, and this new lease expired yesterday without any perceptible move having been made to comply with the fran- cnise.
 At the last meeting of the board of alder men nothing was said of the expiration of the franchise so naar at hand. No commu- nication was sent in, and as far as known members of the council are yet in ignorance of what steps these gentlemen are contem- plating.

THE JOKE WAS ON
 THE ALDERMAN

A good story is being told on one of the aldermen of Birmingham, who, although an unmarried man, is nevertheless one of the fathers of the city Besides being a very handsome man, he is also one of the most popular gentlemen in the city with the ladies.
 A day or two ago he was standing in front of soda fount on Second avenue, when up drove two of Birmingham most attractive young ladies, who wished to drink therein. They ordered their drinks and waited for them to be served. One of them being a most thoughtful and consid- crate young lady, happened to find in the trap an apple which one of her admirers had given her, which was little too green to eat. She determined to give her horse a treat, too Not wishing to dismount, she began looking around for some one to pass the apple to the horses mouth, and her eye fell on the form of our handsome alder man. She knew him only slightly, but that didn't natter she held out the apple to- ward him, and made a sign for him to ap- proach. Of course, he complied most willingly and with profound bow he &C., cepted the fruit.
 Who wouldn't appreciate an apple given by such hands as these? MT. cer- tainly did, and was just raising it to his lips to take a bite, when the young lady almost screamed, Not you, the horse!'
 He fed the brute in silence, while, it is feared, the young ladies in the trap nearly died laughing" But he accepted the situ- ation gracefully, and smoothed the affair over by treating to all the soda water the young ladies could drink
