The session was devoted to regular re-
ports and the historians address by DR..
b. W. Whitfield of Walker county, which
was mastery and eloquent tribute to the
memory of the late Drs. Charles Whean,
f. M. Peterson, s. D. Seelye, B. w. Toole,
w. III. Johnston and ]. r. Jordan.
Marked attention was given the venerable
physician, as he feelingly referred to the
history of each of these men who had
served humanity in the noble profession of
materia medica, and had at last laid down
the burden after years of usefulness and
love. He admonlshed his fellow members
to profit by the example of these men and
to put their soul Into the work and make
it labor of l0ye as well as of mercenary
motives.
Surgical Peculiarities of the Negro
Race" was reported by DR.. r. NJ Fletcher,
Jr., Of Huntsville, and proved most inter-
esting and able paper, which was given
close attention. The position taken by DR..
Fletcher was discussed by DIR. Copeland of
this city, to which DR.. Fletcher replied.
Other numbers on the evening programme
were passed on account of the absence of
the reporters, and call was made for DR..
j. T. Searcy, of Tuscaloosa, who reported
with "Some Practical Suggestions About
Insanity" His remarks were interest ng,
and were discussed by several of the ply
socians.
At the conclusion of this discussion the
association adjourned until 9 O'Clock this
morning, when the second days session W IL
be called to order.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
TO BE INVITED HERE
Possible That Their 1899 Con-
vention viii Be Held in
Birmingham.

The Baptist ministers and the Baptist
| churches of Birmingham will make a strong
effort to have the next Baptist convention
of the southern church held in this city
in 1899
A conference to this end was held in the
Commercial club rooms yesterday afternoon
between the directors of that club and a
number of Baptist ministers of this city.
Rev. p. T. Hale, representing the minister's
said that If the cooperation of the citizens
of Birmingham could be obtained, that he
thought it very probable that the South
ern Baptists, who hold their annual con-
vention in Norfolk, Va. on May 8, could be
induced to bring their next years conven-
ton to Birmingham.
The plan Mr.. Hale outlined was as fol-
lows: He said that after this year it was
the general impression that the delegates
and visitors to the annual conventions
would not expect to be entertained free of
cost but that they wanted to pay a reason
able amount for board during the five or six
days the convention is in session This
change is found to be necessary on account
of the large number of delegates and WIS.,
itors that attend these conventions, from
1000 to 800 ian all.
AS 1t would be impossible for the hotels OF
BIRMINGHAM TO entertain tHlS ilniileioc
number of guests, Mr.. Hale suggested that
the Commercial club appoint committee
20 cooperate with the ministers of the
church in finding out whether large
enough number of citizens would promise
to take boarders during the convention to
warrant the convention of 1899 being invited
to this city OF course. it is expected that
the board charged will be only nominal and
not the usual convention rates. Charles
TON 8 C.. Asheville N. c.; Little Rock
and Hot Springs, Ark, are the only other
places that have extended invitations for
the convention and it is thought that Biz
naingham being centrally located as 1t Is,
will stand at least an equal if not a bet
ter chance to get it than any of the others.
1t will be necessary. for the citizens OF
birmingham to raise about 5000 to defray
the expenses of the convention. such as rent
for the Auditorium, paying the expenses of
tho officials and the invited guests and
speakers of the convention, and the various
other expenses connected with it
Not only would 1t be a pleasure for Bir-
mingham to entertain the convention, but
from a business point of view, for a con-
vention of over a thousand delegates to
remain in session in a city for five days Is
of the greatest advantage to a city. The
Southern Baptist church has membership
of over a million and a half, and to have
representatives from all that body in Bir-
mingham would he a splendid advertise
ment for the city A committee will be ap-
pointed today by the president of the Com
mercial club to assist the Baptist minis
ters in working up the proper amount of
interest in this convention. Any citizen
willing to assist in the movement will
greatly accommodate both committees by
sending their names to Rev. p. r. Hale,
the secretary of the Commercial club or
any other member of the committee

CAUSES UNKNOWN.
Inquest Held Over the Remains of Charlie
Toler.

The death of Charley Toler, the negro
whose body was found near the track OF
the Avondale car line, Thirty-second street
and Avenue F on Monday night Is still
shrouded in mystery.
Yesterday afternoon an inquest was heio
by Justice Stanley who was detailed by
Judge Porter to do SO, in the absence OF
Coroner Burkhalter from the city. A jury
was empaneled, and after making care
full examination of the body rendered
verdict that the negro had come to his
death by causes to the jury unknown.
The bruise on the head and face was
found to be only slight and was probably
the result of falling.
The negro was seen to get on car at
about $3.50 o'clock and was said to be drink
ing. He was a hard drnker, and 1t is pos
sible that he died from the effects of
alcohol.
The remains were inferred in the potter's
field.

O WAR BONDS.

Doubtless the short duration of
the war between the United States
and Spain has been the of
sincere regret on the part Of bond
spectators. At first this class of
men we're opposed to the war, but
later on they became reconciled
when visions of a $500, 900, 900
bond issue arose before their eyes.
The making of the $500, 900, 900
issue of bonds popular in charac-
ter was a bitter disappointment,
but means we're found to reap a
considerable profit out of the mat
ter.
AS affairs have turned out, there
was no necessity for issuing the
100000, 900 worth of bonds. Very
little of the proceeds Of the sale
have yet reached the treasury,
while the gold ser is up to
SIo5,ooo, 900, and the cash ball
ance is $500, 900, 900. 1t will he
remembered that s1oo,ooo,o 900
worth Of treasury certificates was
authorized by congress, but none
of these have been issued. In dis
%cussing this matter the Indianapo-

Sentinel says:

The coinage of the seigniorage
and the issue OF $500, 900, 200 in
greenbacks would have covered
the cost of the war and relieved
the country by an increase in cir
culation. AS it now is, the circu-
lation is already contracted by the
bond sale, and will be still more SO
as the proceeds of the sale con-
tinue to come in. But the banks
get the bonds and they at least
will be satisfied.
