PLAN CONTINUES
 TO BE ENDORSED

GEN. CHAS. M. SHELLEY-"We have every reason in the world to celebrate, and Birmingham should by all means have jubilee that will sustain the record that it has made during the entire war. We must be moderate in our celebration, how ever, for while we have every reason to rejoice, we must respect the conquered na- ton whose soldiers fought so well and so bravely. Remember that it has not been so many years since the south was van quished nation.'
 COL. J. J. ALTMAN-"Birmingha justly claims to be the most enterprising city in the south, and think that it is the most natural thing in the world that we should be the first city to celebrate the victories of the American arms. The in- tense patriotism Birmingham has shown during the war have no doubt will cause us to celebrate the return of peace in correspondingly glorious manner. I think that by the last of October, General Wheeler will have gotten the camp at Mon tauk Point in such fine condition that he can easily get off for week or two to visit Alabama. By the way, I think one of the biggest compliments that has been paid General Joe is that Mckinley put him in entire command of the camp at that place, thereby admitting the inability of Alger and the genrals he had In command, to get the camp in fit shape to receive the men. I notice that since Wheeler has taken charge nearly all complaints have ceased and things seem to be running there as smoothly as you please"
 w. D. BARKER-"I heartily endorse the movement for holding the big Peace Jubilee. It is a good thing for the people to get together and display their enthusi- asm once in a while as most assurediy they have cause to do at this time."
 Duty to Wheeler and Hobson
 HENRY B. GRAY-"Its a duty that we owe to Wheeler and Hobson to hold big Peace Jubilee in October. They've done much more than their parts and now we must do ours. Have the program on a big scale"
 NATHAN L. MILLER-"The city that furnished over 1,50O men to the United States volunteer army, considering that only about 4,500 were raised in this state, including the immunes, should certainly not be behind when it comes to having a. big peace celebration. Birmingham, of all the cities in the south. is best entitled to have the big celebration
 OLIVER CHALIFOUX-"I lived in Eu- rope for a number Of years, and I know that over there Americans are considered simply a. nation of shop}keepers. Since the war they realize as they have never done before that we have loftier motives and are much more patriotic nation than they supposed If the war has accom- plished no other thing than the opening of Eurupes eyes the event should be apprp- priately celebrated Birmingham is by all means the place to have the biggest and most enthusiastic Jubilee in the entire south."

Birmingham will be the center for the greatest peace jubilee of the south.
 The Age-Herald's plan has met the ap- probation of every citizen approached and the celebration instead of being merely To- cal will be an interstate affair.
 Thousands of people can be brought here from every village and hamlet. Several great orators can be secured to entertain them. The keys of the city will be hidden away for twenty-four hours and the day will be devoted to the honorlng of the he- roes of the Hispano-American war, of which Alabama lays claim to quite a num- Der.
 The vanquished foe will not be forgotten in the hour of joy. The kindness of Cer- vera to Hobson will not be hidden in the merriment.
 The Commercial club will make arrange ments for holding meeting today, when preliminary plans will begin.
 A committee should first be appointed to Aiiu out Wheh freslueht Mchlnley ana others who are desired can be present.
 When this is done the date can be fixed and the other necessary arrangements can go forward with rapidity.
 There are many parks about Greater Bir- mngham to accommodate the crowds that will flow from the outlying districts, from the residences, from the banks, from the shops and the hundreds of industries of the south's Pittsburg
 ness men will decorate their places with bunting, pictures of the heroes, and give their employees a day to join in the monster celebration

Afterward the Rex ball will be held at the auditorium.
 All necessary arrangements are being made to have the illumination to be an ab soiute success. It was also resolved to be- gin the active work at once. The nresi- dent was Instructed to confer with the proper city authorities asking that no in decent masks will be permitted on the streets. A request will also be made to all low no female masks to be allowed in the saloons and to avoid anything that may offend dignity or good morals. The com- mittee will provide ample music. and the comimttee on advertising was instructed to use all possible means to bring the great est number of people from abroad to the city to attend the festivities.
 The committee on finance will go to work shortly and was instructed to furnish to subscribers Of funds one spectator ticket to the Rex ball for every dollar subscribed, such tickets to be issued to out of town people only. Subscribers to the extent of not less than fifteen dollars shall be en- titled to one ticket to the floor also, ad- mitting gentleman and lady.

tom MARSHALL'S CAPTURE
On ef the Akveatxres ei csi. Baker ia
the Civil War.

nURING the time when the army OF
Washington. learning the art of war, a
confederate scout by the name of Mar
shall. known Familiarity as Tom Mar
shall. himself well know by his success
in penetrating the union lines, was COM
mittlng depredations. and obtaining
information of our movements for the
use Of the south. His exploits in this
capacity were OF the most audacious
character. and every effort that had been
made toward his capture had signally
failed. Various ingenious plans had
been laid to circumvent him. but he had
haffied all such attempts by his own
cunning and courage. He would very
frequently come into the heart of Wash
ington in open daylight, leave some in
dubitable evidence of his presence, and
escape just in time TO do SO with safety;
having, in some mysterious manner,
gone back and forth through our lines
and so disguised himself tha; his iden-
tity had not for a moment been sus-
pected.
Col. Baker, who had heard much of
the doiugs of this scout. was one day
listening TO recital Of one of his fear
,css adventures Of the day before in en-
tcring Washington.
When the story was told Col. Baker
said:
III Tom Marshall can &c; into Wash
ington and go back TO Berk's Station-I
can 60 TO Berk's Station and bring Tom
Marshall with me % Washington"
Col. Baker got uPon his horse and
rode down in Virginia. The army eN-
tended across Rails Cross Reads, and
some distance down the Leesburg rail-
road. Gen. Blcnker's forces were at
;he outskirts doing pickle; duty. Berk's
Station was IL mites from Alexandria,
and it was from this place that Marshall
was known most frequently to come.
Ills house was only short distance out
in.o the confederate country. The
sCutherncrs were running the cars as
far as Berk's Station. and had tele-
graph office there in the depot. Col.
Baker passed ON horseback through
federal pickets with no very great diff
siculty. aud rode on 20 a grove OF pines
within about two miles of Bcrk's Sta
ton, and between the pickets of the
two armies. He then put on a confed-
crate jacket and siouched hat which
partly concealed his hce. He was ef-
fectually disguised, and had the general
appearance of a confederate soldier.
He tied his horse to tree In dense
forest of pines. and walked deliberately
into the village. He stroiled leisurely
into the railroad depot and listened TO
the conversation OF the people around
about. There were about i.soo south
ern troops in the vicinity. and numbers
Of these were lounging about the place.
The colonel entered into conversation
