IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE

William A. Ramsey, prominent young attorney of Livingston, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Ramsey will be candi- date before the next state senate for sistant secretary, and it is said will have a very strong backing. He served as com mittee clerk during the session of the last legislature, and this he thinks has given him the qualifications for the posi- tion. He was a candidate for the nomina- tion to the legislature from his county. and was defeated by only thirty votes. There were half dozen older men in the field.
 ''Trains from Mississippi are loaded with people from that state every day now" said railroad official yesterday. 'The people are rushing north on account of the yellow fever scare, presumably. Not one of them will admit this to be the cause, however. They all say that they are go- ing for a vacation or to the markets. I have never before seen so many people from that state taking vacation There were a good many people to stop off here for a few hours today. But there is no danger in those who are now moving car rying fever The quarantine against the infected district is rigidly enforced
 Miss D. Dorsey Anderson, special writer and advertiser for Men and Matters, a very bright New Orleans publication, is in the city.

FIRST MAY BE
 MOVED NEXT WEEK Probably Camp at East Lake
 Grounds. THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE Will Hold Meeting This Morning to Form Plans to Give The Regi- ment the Housing Welcome
 It Deserves.
THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE

Col b. l.. Higdon of the First Alabama his regiment would probably be moved to Birmingham the middle of next week. It will go into camp for five days. and tile men will then receive furloughs. At the end of that time they will report back at camp for the final muster out, which will require probably ten days longer.
 It will be at least forty-iye days before the regiment is entirely free.
 It has not been positively decided where the regiment will go into camp, but 1t is generally supposed that it will be at the East Lake regimental camp grounds. There is an abundant supply of fine water there, and the grounds all in readiness for the regiment to pitch camp The tent floors, kitchens and other necessary structures are already built.
 The officials of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company have been in commu- nication by wire with Colonel Higdon as to the location of the camp. He replied yes terday that the chief quartermaster of the department of the gulf, with headquarters in Atlanta, had all the authority to select the camp grounds. The street car people have communicated with him.
 Birmingham is getting more and more en- thusiastic over the reception that is to be given the First when 1t returns, and is de- termined that it shall be in every way a success.
 
 Chairman Rhodes, of the committee ap- pointed by the Commercial club to arrange for reception worthy of Birmingham's regiment, has called meeting of the com mittee this morning at 10:80 o'clock in the Commercial club rooms to perfect their plans. The other members of the commit tee are Ross c. Smith, John w. Tomlinson, J. A. Rountree, F. L. Demere, A. b. De- Funiak and A. R. Dearborn. Chairman Rhodes urges that all of them be present.

JUBILEE WILL BE
 HELD IN NOVEMBER
This Is General Opinion of the
 Leaders.
WAITING FOR COMMIT TEE
Which Has Been in Washington-If it is Postponed MT. Skaggs is As- , sured the Windy City Will
 J be Well Represented.

Little or nothing new developed yesterday about the Peace Jubilee. In fact, there was nothing to be done except to wait for the return of the invitation committee from Washington, which event is expected this morning at 1i:20.
 This committee will doubtless be in a position to inform the other committees the day that will be most suitable for the president to be in Birmingham. For the purpose of fixing this date and determining upon other important matters a general meeting of all the committees will be called probably tomorrow. At that meeting ev- erything that is now undecided will be set tied definitely.
 There doesn't seem to be much doubt but that the date of the jubilee will be put off from October until November. MT. McKin- ley has said that he can attend during that month, while he cannot do so in October. The indications are that the yellow fever scare will be entirely over by that time and there will be no quarantine to handi- cap the celebration.
 National Relations Committee
 "If the Southern Jubilee be postponed un- til the early part of November, there will be a large delegation from the northward," said Chairman Skaggs of the committee on national relations yesterday.
 .I received a telegram from Chicago to- day saying: Your national relations cons mittee will be most welcome here. Chi cago now has her hands full with her own jubilee, but if yours is held later, Chicago will join with you heartily
 '"This telegram came in response to let ters which had written to prominent citi- zens of Chicago"
 MT. Skaggs feels confident that the trip to the northwest will be a great success. This committee on national relations will meet at the Commercial club rooms next Monday afternoon. By that time the com- mittee will be in position to make definite plans

 Auditorium Failed to Meet.

Although the meeting of the board of directors of the auditorium had been ex- tensvey advertised to take place yester- day afternoon, none of them showed up at the time named to consider the propo- sition of permitting the negroes to hold their fair in the auditorium Consequently nothing was done.
 However, it seems that the negro fair has fallen through anyway, as few if any of the leaders think 1t can be carried through to success this year.

ONE FOR ADoaE,
MEN CHEAPER THAN HORSES.
Animal Hire In Some Parts OF Russia
Exceeds Tint Paid for HUI
man Labor.

In Russia the wages of harse are
higher than those of man, and hence,
OF course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, says Gunton's
Magazine, in the Nishni-Voiga section,
we find the average pay OF man and
horse to be about 72 cents per day; of
man aloue, "a cents; that is. SO cents for
horse and "a cents for man. The wom-
Ell receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the
central agricultural region the average
is: Horse. % cents; man, 20 cents;
woman, 13 cents. In the southern
steppe: Horse, SO cents; man, IS cents;
woman, 16 cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard Of living of Russian agri-
cultural laborers. Its meaning is. sim
ply, that human beings are cheaper
there than draft animals. In other
words. it costs less to keep them alive.
In tie southern steppe five women can
be employed more oheaply than two
horses. Is it difficult to imagine the
condition of home life. the dearth of re.
filming influences. the sodden, homeless
stagnation that such state Of affair.
reflects? Is it any wonder that the
products of such a wage status as this
are individual degradation, social bar
renness. meager education. political
despotism. religious intolerance, and,
generally. type OF civilization scarcely
above barbarism? ....
