Sponges.

Fine sponges are used by physicians
in surgical operations and are sometimes
very expensive. Our finest sponges come
from the Mediterranean sea and the
Red sea. They are obtained by divers,
who search for them under rocks and
cliffs, and who remove them carefully
with q knife, that they may not be in
jured. The Turks, who carry on the
trade, have between 1000 and 5000
men employed in collecting sponges.
The value of the sponges annually col
lected is estimated at 800. Coarse
varieties are found in the Gulf of Next
20 and the Bahama islands. They are
scraped off the rocks with forked instru-
ments, and consequently they are often
torn

THE TELEPHONE ORDINANCE Was Passed by the City Council
 at Last Nights Meeting. TOPUT WIRES UNDER GROUND Rights to Discipline the Company Were Re- served-Merchants Tax Made Final
 Hats for the Bremen.

The city council met in adjourned ses- sion last night to consider the telephone ordinance, whose passage was asked by the Southern Bell Telephone company.
 Mayor Evans and Aldermen Lynagh. Drennen, Altman, Graham, Hamilton, Pearce, Gray, Parker and Hentschel were present.
 The ordinance was introduced by Alder man Pearce and provides that all telephone companies hereafter be required to lay wires under ground and the only poles erected must be for distributing purposes It requires that all wires now over head be immediately placed under ground. It also provides that the distributing poles be of creosoted pine or red cedar and that they be placed in alleys wherever prac- ticable.
 Clerk Camp, after reading the ordinance, called attention to tho fact that it pro- vided no penalty in case 1t was violated.
 Mayor Evans: "There should be pen- alty clause MT. Chairman, of the judi ciary committee"
 Alderman Altman: "I am not familiar with the provisions of the ordinance not having been present at the meeting of the committee which prepared it."
 City Attorney Lowe and Alderman Alt man then retired to look over the ordi- nance and prepare penalty clause.
 During the time they were absent Alder- man Gray moved that the matter of get ting up a tax book for 1893 be referred to the finance committee with power to act. The motion was carried.
 MT Eustis, the city tax collector, asked that the assessment for merchants tax as prepared by Merchants Tax Assessor Frierson, be made final by the board. This was done by a unanimous vote.
 Alderman Lynagh reported that the fire committee was dn favor of buying twenty four hats at S6.50 each and six fire extin- guishers at s2O for the use of the fire de- partment. The report was adopted.
 Alderman Graham of the street commit tee reported that the bridge on Second ave- nue was too narrow and unsafe and asked that S200 be appropriated to rebuild 1t. The required money was voted.
 Attorney and Alderman Altman had then returned and introduced two amendments to the original ordinance. One provided that all conduits for wires be laid under the supervision of the city engineer, and the other reserved to the city all the rights to license and discipline the telephone com pany which it previously had.
 First the amendments and then the ordi- nance were adopted.
 Alderman Altman reported that the park committee had been diligently at work and asked that a man to be paid 80 month be hired to look after the parks.
 The report was adopted and the council adjourned.

Cleveland Beat

The democrats of Cleveland beat assem- bled last night at the court house for the purpose of skating delegates to the county convention. The following are the names :: T. l..

 G. B. McVay offered the following reso- lution which was unanimously adopted:
 We the democrats of Cleveland beat in mass meeting assembled with firm re- Gance on the justice of our cause, do here by reafiIm the great truths and tenets of the democratic faith enunciated in the na- tional platform of the party In convention at Chicago in 1896.
 With pride we reflect upon the heroic battle waged for those great truths by that matchless leader of the common people of the hand, William Jennings Bryan, and we here and now register our devotion to his candidacy and his cause, and proclaim hlm first, last and forever our choice for the presidency of the United States.
 With equal pride we point to the ad- ministration of the affairs of our state by it's governor, Joseph F. Johnston, as ex- employing in every detail the highest type of democracy. By his painstaFdng care of every public interest the institution of rigid business methods in the conduct of public affairs, and by his unswerving loyalty to the cause of bimetallism, the great living democratic issue, he has endeared himself to all the people of the land whose faith Is that of Jefferson and Jackson, and we pledge him our earnest and hearty sup port for renomination governor of Ala bama, and commend his administration as that of the people. by the people, and for the people"

Judge James B. Head has withdrawn from the race for assistant associate justice of the supreme court of Alabama.
 This was the announcement that startled the political circles of Birmingham yester- day. There has been great deal of in- terest manifested in the candidacy of Judge Head and Judge Sharpe, as it virtually amounted to a race between these two gen. tlemen as to which would be nominated from this county, and yesterday, when it became known that Judge Head, notwith- standing his strong support, had withdrawn from the race, the surprise it caused was genuine.
