AMONG TIE CHURCHES.

Father L. NJ G. Carroll of st. Patrick's
r. G. Church, who has been suffering
from a severe attack of rheumatism for
the past two weeks, has improved very
much during the past day or two and is
now able to sit up. Father Talon has
been in charge since Father Carroll's i'll
held rehearsal Thursday evening for
the mock trial which they will present
to the members on next Thursday even
ing. The final rehearsal will take place
on next Tuesday evening. The majority
of the Catholic clubs in this city have
athletic teams, baseball mines and bicycle
teams. While st. Patrick's Club has not
reached that stage of development as vet,
Father Carroll hopes to build up an ath-
letic team. This club has a big advan-
tage over many of the other clubs in this
city and one by which they have not BEN
Gifted as yet This is the excellent cinder
track in Bramhali Park, just opposite the
church. This track was built last wear
when the park was opened, on the occa-
sion of the garden party, 1t is located
to the mile. Father Carroll has consid-
cred the advfsability of the athletic team
and has decided to improve the cinder
track. This will be done shortly, or, at
least, just IS soon as the fine weather
sets in Numerous dressing booths will be
erected and electric lights will also be
piuceu Ia the park, by which the young
OsDay will no doubt train the team. as
he was for years an expert in that line
Baseball teams have not vet been dis
cussed, but no doubt nine can be orr
ganized without much difficulty

THE CUT RATE
 DRUG WAR
Is Still On in Full Force and WaxeS Warm and
 Warmer.

The cut rate drug war shows no sign of abatement. but on the contrary waxes warmer and warmer.
 Profit no longer figures in the druggists calculations. but desire to undersell all competitors seems to be their chief object of existence. Nearly all of the stores are adorned with flaming signs bearing the names and prices of the wares to be found on the inside, also an inscription inform ing the passerby that right there was to be found the only and original cut price apothecary shop.
 Advertisements giving the ''original' and "cutv price, are clipped from the newspa- pers and pasted on the show windows There is no doubt put that many patent medicines are being sold below cost prices, and some one is necessarily compelled to lose money in consequence.
 But the public is amply satisfied. They are no longer compelled to pay starva- tion prices for drugs and are correspond ingly happy. But while it is fun for the public it is death to the druggists.

WATER COMMITTEE
 WILL REPORT At the Meeting of the Board Of Aldermen

 CeS When Desired. TEN CENTS PER THOUSAND THE RATE A Minimum Rate Will Also Be Charged-Qnes- ton of Filtering Water 10 Be Reported

TEN CENTS PER THOUSAND THE RATE

Several matters of importance will come up before the next meeting of the city council next Tuesday night.
 There sems to be but little doubt but that the special committee appointed by the board of aldermen to investigate the water supply of the Birmingham Water Works company, and the rates that now be- ing charged, will make it's report at the meeting next Tuesday. This has been a hard matter to settle and the committee have been working on it for several months. The difficult part of it is to adopt a schedule of rates that will be satisfactory to the citizens of Birmingham, and which will at the same time yield to the company a just and equitable rate of interest on the money invested.
 While, of course, none of the details have been given out, it is understood that the recommendations of the committee will be on the following lines:
 Meters in Business Portion
 In the business portion of the city, meters will be put in all the buildings, and mini- mum rate will be charged. The maximum rate for the business portion of the city will be, 1t is thought ten cents a thous- and gallons. The rates in the residence portion of the city will be put on the slid- ing scale, and the consumer will be given the choice of having a meter or of paying for his water on the present plan of so much for so many rooms.
 The committee will report only on the rates at this meeting of the board, and the quality of the water will be left for sub- sequent report. In speaking of the mat ter of Altering the water gentleman con- nected with the water company recently said that it would cost the Water Works company at least $100OOO to put in these patent filters. He said further that his company had made a number of improve ments in the water supply and in its reser- voirs, by which they thought the quality of the water this summer would be made as good as that of any other city in the south.
 Tn the second place. the differences be- tween the Birmingham Railway and EIec- tric company and the Birmingham Traction company will be positively and definitely settled, If these two companies have not already patched up their quarrel before that time

Tuesday he went to the house on his reg ular rounds and found the front door open and knocked. The servant came to the door and he asked for Anderson Bates, and she told him he was upstairs in his room, and after three trips up and back he told her to show him Andersons room and fol- lowed her upstairs Mr. Bates, he said came to the door and asked him by what authority he came into his house, and when he told him his business, pointed to An derson's room and told him to go in and that Anderson called from the inside to come in. When he had got in the room he said he told Anderson what he had come for and that he, in turn, abused the police force and officers and said they had it in for him and would not pay the amount of $S.50 for street and poll tax; that he told him he would have to go with him and that Anderson was very slow in putting on his clothes: that he made out bond and went with Anderson to the dining room to have MT. Williamson sign 1t. He denied that he had knocked at Mrs. Bates door.
 Officer Cole was questioned by several of the commissioners, as were the other witt nesses. At the conclusion of the testi- mony Officer Cole stated that If he had done wrong, 1t was through ignorance of the law as he interpreted 1t.
 Resumed Regular Order
 When the evidence was all in the board again took up the regular order of business and heard a petition from J. H. Mingea, driver of the patrol wagon, for $10 in- crease in salary.
 The petition stated that he worked four teen hours day and had a family to sup port, his salary being only S35. The peti- ton was laid on the table.
 The board then went into executive ses- sion, and after considering the charges against Officer Cole, suspended him for ten days. The board then adjourned.

NEW STEEL PLANT
 AT ENSLEY CITY To Be Built by Tennessee Coal, Iron and
 Railroad Company. IS NOW AN ASSURED FACT Fill AdjOin the EnSley Furnaces and the
 Bi-PrOduCt Plant. CHEAPEST STEEL IN THE COUNTRY The Molten Iron Will Run Direct From the Fur naces Into Steel Plant Without Cool
 ing-Gas to Be Furnished by yBi-
 Product Coke Ovens
CHEAPEST STEEL IN THE COUNTRY

The new s1,1OO,o0O steel plant to be con- structed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company is practically certainty.
 It will be built at Ensey City, adjoining the present mammoth furnaces of the Ten nessee company, and it will be so construct ed that the molten iron from the furnaces will be run through suice directly into the steel furnaces.
 The process of making steel will be iden- tical with that now in operation at the Birmingham rolling mills. The gas to be used in heating the steel furnaces will be furnished by the Tennessee company's Semet-Solvay bi-product plant. It is said that the conveniences and labor-saving de- vices to be made use of in the new plant cheaper by this new plant than steel has ever been made up to this time in the his- tory of the world.
 Will Cost More Than Million
 The new plant is to cost s1 10000 or more, and there will be as many as a half dozen open-hearth furnaces. President Baxter and MT. Shook of the Tennessee company are still in New York, and notwithstanding the war now existing, they have made splendid progress in placing the issue of $1 100000 of bonds. J. T. Woodward of New York, who has large interest In several Birmingham concerns, Is said to have subscribed to s5O,OOO of these bonds. Many other very large individual subscriptions have been made, and the new steel plant Is now an absolute certainty
 The officials of the Tennessee company in this city at present will not make any official statement in regard to the matter. They prefer to wait until the bonds are fioated and the contract let before making the matter public in an official way.
 There has not been in Birmingham for years anything that will give the growth of the city such an impetus as this man. moth new steel plant will do. It will lead to the establishment of large number of smaller industries here and will in every way increase the business of the Birming- ham district. Indeed, Birmingham promises to become the great steel making center of this country. The Birmingham rolling mill proposes to add couple of new furnaces to its plant in. the near future, and there is talk of the establishment of quite number of smaller industries to consume at home the products of these plants.
