THE AUDITORIUM
 WILL BE CROWDED
TomorrowAfter The Great Sunday School Gathering.
 Gallery for the Public.

Chairman J. A. VanHoose, of the com mittee on arrangements of the great Sun day school gathering which will take placs at the auditorium tomorrow afternoon, has given out the following information in re- gard to the gathering, which promises to be the largest every assembled in Birming ham.
 Owing to the great demand for seats by parents and friends of the children to see the beautiful sight and to hear and join in the singing of such a vast body of worshpers, the committee of arrangements have decided to secure still more chairs for the first floor, and to throw all of the inn mense gallery open to the general public without the necessity of showing of badges.
 "There are two entrances to the gallery which will be used One on Seventeenth street, near Third avenue, and the other on Third avenue east of the main doors by which the children will enter. Persons living west of Eighteenth street are ad- vised to go to the door on Seventeenth street, so as to lessen the crowd entering by the door on Third avenue.
 Ropes will be stretched across the avenue so as to fully protect the children, but marshals with blue badges will direct persons to the proper doors."
 The following officers will be in charge of the gathering:
 Chief marshal, Dr. J. H. Phillips.
 First assistant, Professor Brown, and eight assistants (blue badges).
 Captains (green badge), on main foyer Professor F. M. Roof. Colonel E. l.. Higdon, First floor: Professor J. B. Cunningham, MT. Wm. Hardie. Platform: MT. James vinson. Balcony: Professor A. c. Moore. Gallery: Captain J. w. Lee, MT. Wm. Wil- liam Hardie.
 Fifty of the Young Mems Christian asso- citation members have kindly volunteered to act as ushers (red badges).
 The doors will open at 2:30 p. m., and the schools and public will begin to enter immediately.
 The public will be welcomed at the serv- ice, but are requested to be careful not to get in the way of the children as they are moving
 The arrangements have been carefully studied out by the most skillful and ex- perienced men, and there is no reason why there should be the slightest confusion or danger.
 Excellent seats have been carefully and specially reserved for all children who are not members of any Sunday school, 1t be- ing the earnest wish and hope that the sight of so many happy, bright children marching, singing and praisng their Sa- vior will influence many others to come in and join the various schools.
 Ushers will be especially detailed to of fer a hearty invitation to all such children who may so desire to enter the Auditorium and join in the service

Meager, George Foley, B. o. Taylor, William Bennett, J. E. Biggs, R. L.. Spenser.
 Captain Hart was seen after his return to the city by an Age-Herald reporter and stated that in his opinion Pratt City could furnish an entire battalion of splendid men if needed who would give a glorious ac- count of themselves on the field of battle.
 This addition to Company Us fighting strength insures that its membership will be fully up to the limit required by law.

PRATT CITY VOLUNTEERS.
A Detachment of the Huey Guards Organized
 Last Night.

A mass meeting of the leading citizens of Pratt City was held at the city hall last night for the purpose of organizing com pany for active service in event of war. More than three hundred men were pres ent and great enthusiasm was manifested. A number of speeches were made. Capt. G. F. Hart, of this city, was also present by request and made a patriotic address.
 After full explanation of the Hull mili- tary bill and the probable procedure by which volunteers will be received when the call is made, 1t was deemed improba- ble that a new and entirely distinct or ganization would be accepted on the first call and detachment of the Huey Guards. Company l., Third infantry, was organ ized, with a large number of additional men volunteered to go with the company in event of call.

BRIGADIER GENERAL
 LOUIS Y. CLARK Will Command Alabama National
 Guard Volunteers. OTHERS WANT THE HONOR But His Name Will Be Presented to President Mckinley for Appointment His
 Military Career.
OTHERS WANT THE HONOR

Brigadier-General Louis V. Clark will command the Alabama National Guard 1T event of call for volunteer troops.
 By reason of his ability as military of ficer he was appointed to the office of brigadier-general by Governor Johnston two years ago and his name will undoubt- edly be presented to President Mckinley who will place him in command of the Alabama National Guard volunteers.
 Under the provisions of the Hull bill the right to appoint all officers of volunteer troops, with the exceptions of brgadier- generals, is reserved to the governors of the respective states, the later office to be
The age-herald., 1898-04-23

filled by appointment of the president, who, it is thought, will carefully consider the recommendations made by the governors in connection with these offices.
 Others Want the Honor
 The efforts of several outsiders to secure the appointment of commander of the Alabama National Guard in event of call, has influenced the friends of General Clark to institute an active campaign in his be- half. General Clark's popularity among the national guard extends from the highest or f1cer to the lowest private, and in tendering their services to the governor each man ia desirous that General Clark retain com mand of the troops.
 His Military Career
 General Clark's military career has been a brilliant one, dating to his boynood oay' when he obtained his first honors, as mark or of a boys' company at the Mobile Aln- tary academy in 1875. In 1881 he entered the state university at Tuscaloosa ana was elected captain of the now famous Com many E. Tuscaloosa cadets, which carried off all honors, includ ing the first prize or s5oo and A handsome gold medal for the captain in the great cadet prize drill at the Worlds exposition in New Orleans in 1885, On this occasion he was the recipient of the highest encomiums from some of the most competent officers in the United States.
 His military career with the Alabama na- tional guard began April 27, 1887, when about seventy-five of the young men of Bir- mingham got together under his leadership and organized the Alabama zouaves. Com- pany G, Second regiment, which he after wards changed to an infantry company and called 1t the Jefferson Volunteers, which company gained and has an excellent rec- ord in the regiment.
 Elected Colonel In June, 1890, he was elected colonel of the Second regiment, to succeed Colonel Thos. G. Jones, who was afterwards nominated for the governorship. He was the young est officer mentioned and the junior officer by commission. During his term the regi- ment has had the best attended encamp- ments in its history and its discipline was such as to maintain the highest record the "gallant Second' had earned. Major G. B. Russell, U. s. A., in his report on Camp Clayton, says that Colonel Clark and his staff seemed to be remarkably good off, cers."
 At the great interstate drill in Washing ton, D. G., May 1887, he was selected to represent the state of Alabama on Gen. eral Auger's GU. S. Al staff. Also was se- lected again to represent Alabama at the Chicago international drill a year later.
 When Colonel Clark's term as colonel of the Second regiment expired he was unan- imously reelected his own successor by ballot, April 4, 1894.
 In November, 1898, he was appointed brigadier- general of the state and the ap- pointment was immediately confirmed by the senate, which position he has since filled with honor to himself and credit to the state.

TO INVESTIGATE
 LOCAL TARIFFS
Southern and A. G. s. Will Hold Positions of Employees Who
 Want to Volunteer.

A short time ago the railroad commission of this state sent out letters to all the rail- roads doing business in Alabama notifying them that they would be required to ap- pear before the commission in order to have their local tariffs revised. It seems that there are numerous little deviations from the local tariff approved by the com- mission through special rates put into ef- feet by the several companies, and through various other causes.
 It is the purpose of the commission here- after to have this revision at regular pe- riods and each of the roads will be sum- moned to appear before the commission, one at time. The Southern road has been the first to be summoned and the investi- gation will take place in Montgomery next Monday. The dates set for hearing the cases of the other roads have not yet been announced, but the circular letter sent out by the commission states that they will be in the near future.
 All the employees of the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern railroads can now go to war with impunity. They no longer have the excuse that their business holds them and that they must stay at home to keep their jobs. Word was received yes- terday from Atlanta that every employees position, whether it be the smallest or the greatest on the road, would be saved for him until he returned, provided he would enlist and go to fight the Spaniards. That this is generous offer on the part of the officials of these roads, no one will deny except few of their rivals. It wasss sug- gested in some of the other railroad offices yesterday that the Southern and the Ala bama Great Southern were making this apparently generous offer just to get rid of some of their clerks whom they didn't want to ship.
 The Southeastern Tariff association, in other words, all the roads in Alabama, have announced one fare rate from all points in Alabama to the Alabama Com mercial and Industrial associa ton which convenes in Birmingham on the 27th.
