I gave to MIR. c. M. Palmer
copy of an article written
by j. A. Woodson with the
understanding that if the
agreement heretofore made
with the Examiner was re-
voked the copy was to be
simply the property of the
Examiner.
| have delivered to MIR. r.
n. CassaWay this morning
copy, with Illustrations, for
an article, which, If the con-
tract heretofore entered in
to with the Examiner had
been pursued according to
it's terms, would have been
one of the articles contrib
uted. The copy heretofore
given and given this day is
with the understanding that
if the directory instructs me
to abrogate the contract the
copy given is not to preju-
dice the case, but is to be
given as copy which the
Examiner can use as its
own, and is not to be con-
strued an order to publish
the copy.

THE EXAMINER,
BY c. vi. PALMER, Busi-
ness Manager.
When C. M. Palmer indorsed this de-
mand that was at the same time a
threat he was an authorized agent of
William r. Hearst and one OF the most
trusted employees of the Examiner. Mr..
Palmer knew what he was doing and
saw that rebellion to such demand
meant a loss of what remained unpaid
on the blackmail contract.
The Southern Pacific Company and
the Examiner for many months had
community of interests. The well-being
of both demanded friendliness. Hearft
did not dare quarrel as the railroad Of
ficials had in their possession his sigma
ture as the proof of his shame. The
Southern Pacific did not dare venture
a breech as the Examiner was still in
a position to resume its character as
public blackguard.
But as the months went by the
Southern Pacific Company grew bold
1t insisted that Hearst had violated his
contract. He had been bought to be
decent and then refused to be pur-
chased for that purpose. II. E. Hunt
ington became anery, and the monthly
installments on the blackmail contract
ceased. Young Huntington explained
the reason and took no pains to insin-
uate his meaning. He was dealing with
people who understood facts by their
true names, and wrote as follows:
H E. HUNTINGTON TO T. T. WILL
LIAMS, SEPTEMBER Il, 1894.
- You admit that in consideration
of the sum of $50, ,000 to be paid in month
ly installments to the Examiner by the

How Rats Multiply.

In this city rats are found in consid erable numbers the brown rats predom- mating on the ships and wharfs, the black rats in the stores and warehou ses, and the Alexandrian rats being limited to the holds of the shi ps that come from soutlorn ports. Weasels and ferrets are bred to keep down their numbers. The fecundity of the rats is so great that in few years they would overwhelm a whole city if they were not kept down by artificial means One pair will rear four or five families of 10 to 5 to each litter in one year, and in six months these young ones are ready to repro dnce. Thus one couple in the course of three years could raise a population of several hundred thousand if not re- strained by any destructive measures. = New York Sun.

Cood,fort the Stomach.

Vinol-Wine of Cod Liver Oil, we have found by experience to be actually beneficial to the stomach. The chief objection to cod liver oil was the fat and grease which would disturb the disease-weakened stomach and make what would otherwise have been 8 val- uable remedy, impractical. Because Vinol contains all the medicinal parts of cod liver oil, and none of the fat itself, it's desirability may well be understood. VI Et#
 MT. W. L. Wood, prominent chemist of Pawtucket, R. l., in talking of Vinol, says :-
 "Now you have discovered a way to extract the active curative principles from the liver of the cod, and have found out how to leave behind the useless and stomach-disturbing grease, you have been able to give to sufferers from wasting diseases a most valuable medi- cine. With Vinol people will no longer sicken and die from such diseases, because they are now enabled to take enough of the medicinal elements of cod liver oil to benefit themselves, without deranging their digestive organs"
 We have seen, as many other chemists have, this most desirable point in regard to Yinol fully illustrated in many instances. Yours very truly, a@

 A REVELATION FOR WEAK WOMEN Weak, nervous women who suffer from female complaints, irregularities, dis charges, backache, etc., get no sympathy because they "look we'll" No one but the physician knows what they suffer and no one but great specialist in fe- male diseases like Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th St., New York City, the most suc- cessful physician in curing these com plaints, has the knowledge, skill and rem edies which never fail to cure.

Dancing Birds.

One of the many strange sights on the plains of southern Africa is a party of waltzing ostriches- Their queer an- tics have been described thus:
 "When there are number of them, they will start off in the morning and after running few hundred yards will stop, and with raised wings will whirl rapidly round till they are stupefied or perhaps break leg. The males pose also before fighting and to make their court. They kneel on their ankles, opening their wings and balancing themselves alternately forward and backward or to one side or the other, while the neck is stretched on a level with the back and the head strikes the sides, now on the right, now on the left, while the feathers are bristling The bird appears at this time so absorb ed in it's occupation as to forget all that is going on around him and can be ap- preached and caught The male alone utters cry which sounds much like an effort to speak with the mouth shut tight.

Before Holiday ClearanceS are now going on in several departments.

PURCHASE PRICE WAS $6,1OO.O0

The lot on which the new Hillman hos pital is to be built was purchased yester- day morning by the board of lady mana gers of that institution for the sum of $6,- 100 cash. It is situated on the northern corner of Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street, and is one hundred by one hundred and forty feet in size.
 For over month negotiations have been on foot for the purchase of centrally To- cated lot on which to build the new Hill man hospital. The board of lady mana gers called mass meeting to which a number of prominent business men of the city were invited, and at that meeting the ladies expressed their determination that the Hillman hospital should have a new home, and it was for the purpose of de- terminating the best method of procedure that the meeting was called.
 The result of 1t was that a committee was appointed to select a site for the new building, and 1t was given full power to

Passengers on trailer No. 9 of the East Lake electric line, which started on it's re- turn trip to East Lake at 6:2O o'clock yes- terday evening, had a thrilling experience at the corner of Second avenue and Eighteenth street, which nearly caused them to stand on their heads.
 The trailer was attached to a regular motor car in charge of Motorman Croslin and Conductor Brooks. Quite number of passengers were aboard bound for their suburban homes, including a number of la dies.
 Near the corner of Second avenue Is located "Y,'' connecting the Ensley and Bessemer lines with the main track At this point the East Lake cars are run south on Eighteenth street, while the Ensley and Bessemer cars are run in northerly direction.
 When the switch was reached the motor car and the first truck of the trailer pass ed successfully over the switch, taking the southbound track but the trailer jumped the switch and took the northbound track,

WILLPASS THROUGH
 THIS MORNING
Col. William Jennings Bryan on
 Sick Leave.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan will pass through Birmingham this morning over the Louisville and Nashville at 1135.
 With him will be Hon. John w. Tomlin- son, who has been with him several days in Savannah They left the Georgia city last night, and it is possible that Colonel Bryan will stop over day in Birmingham with MT. Tomlinson.
 The great silver leader is conyalescent from an attack of typhoid fever, and on the advice of physicians got a sick leave of fifteen days, which he will spend at his home in Lincoln, Neb.
 Colonel Bryan has been i'll since before his regiment left Jacksonville. His health was had some time before he was stricken to his bed with typhoid fever.
 MT. Tomlinson telegraphs that he is very much improved. The doctors have urged a change of climate which will probably bring him around to the same vigorous specimen of manhood.
 Colonel Bryans regiment, the Third Ne braska Volunteers, is in General Lees army corps and Is among the number slated to go to Cuba.

l make the purchase from the funds which the ladies already had on hand, most of it being the insurance money obtained from the old hospital situated at Smithfield, which was destroyed by fire several years ago.
 Splendidly Located
 The new lot which the ladies have bought is splendidly located for the purpose for which 1t was intended The car line from Ensley and the dummy from Bessemer run immediately in front of it. The Gate City line is only~a block away, and the street cars from East Lake, Avondale, North Highlands, South Highlands. Elyton, Pow derly and Cleveland are only two blocks distant. Then the central location of the lot will be of the greatest convenience to physicians who will give their services to the institution. Property in that section of the city is getting more and more valuable every day and it will be only few years before the lot will be considered as located in the very middle of the city The prop erty was purchased from Mrs. McWhorter, of Pensacola, the deal being made through T. H. Motion, of this city. It was obtained at a reduction of several hundred dollars owing to the fact that it was paid for in -cash.
 Next week the ladies will meet to devise plans for raising the money which will be needed to build the hospital building. It is not yet known yet just what plan will be adopted for raising the s25.0O0 or more which the ladies want to put in the build ing but they are determined that it shall be raised and they are going at it with will.
 Plans of Building
 The plans of the building are also to be drawn, though it is not known yet by what architect. They will be of the most mod -ern in type, and will contain all the con yeniences known to the up-to-date hos pital. The ladies decided at their meeting last Wednesday morning to have drawings of the building made soon the plans were completed, and have them prominent ly displayed .n show windows all over the city.
 The hospital will. of course, continue to be run on the strictly non-sectarian plan that has characterized it in the past, and

 Dumped on Its Side
 Before the motor could be stopped the trailer was thrown directly across Second avenue, and was dumped on its side, leav- ing the trucks standing on the track.
 Consternation was created among the passengers, who were thrown pell mel from their seats, and terribly frightened. The contact with the trolley was broken leaving the car in total darkness and at first the passengers were unable to tell what had happened. The windows and doors were smashed and several of the passengers were cut by flying particles of glass.
 As soon as the excitement subsided the passengers began to emerge by means of the end doors and it was soon found that no one was seriously injured.
 His Hand Cut
 R. s. Camp of Avondale, had his hand cut and his foot bruised and several of the lady passengers received slight cuts. Train master Scott, of the East Lake line, was soon at the scene of the accident and looked after the several slightly injured passen- gers, who soon proceeded on their journey

it will receive the support of all classes and of all sects in Birmingham. The Hillman hospital has been unfortunate during the past few years in that 1t had no home of its own, and was badly handicapped by its small income. But there is a bright fu- ture in store for it, and the Hilman hos pital will before many months be known as one of the city's most active and useful charitable institutions.
