tons" The challenge was not taken
up. In the same speech Mr.. Clark
rldiculed the claim of some of the Re-
pubilcans that they were responsible
Tor the war with Spain, and addressing
the Republican side he said: 1--WE

Mr.. Clark closed with glowing and
patriotic reference tn the brilliant

in Manila harbor.
The administration is not allowing
the war to cause it to forget the need
the Republicans have for help in the
Congressional campaign. The patron
age of the Government Prin ting Office
is to be turned over to the Republican
candidates for Congress, by an order
declaring that establishment never to
have been legally under the civil
service rules. 1t will be remembered
that an opinion declaring that the
placing of the Government Post Office
under civil service rules was illegal was
prepared by an official OF the Depart
ment of Justice last year, but was
never adopted by Attorney General
Mckenna rs his own and was never
made public. Attorney General Griggs,
doubtless under pressure from the Re-
publican Congressional Committee,
has agreed to the PRONUNCIATION of that
opinion, and Democrats in the Gov
ernment Post Office who are wise are
on the lookout for other jobs.

None Hut Ayers at the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.

How u Scheme to Raise the
Wind" Was Organized.
To HIS EXCELLENCY, Gov. ]. X. ROC
ERs:
On the 2Sth of February last, NJ. NJ.
Holmes, Captain of Night Turkeys,
left the penitentiary at Walla Walla
presumably to open his heart to you
and divulge the knowledge that he
had acquired from convict of the ex-
istence of gold mine of great rich
ness. About ten days later, J. +. Adj
dleman, Chief Turnkey, left the pen
on the same mission, and at the same
time, to weed out of the pen forces a
brace of Gwin Hicks Democratic ap-
pointees (Which he did successfully
and to secure the pardon of George r.
Stevens, No. FOG, who was convicted
of grand larceny and sentenced to a
term of ten years from Skagit county.
His record has been as follows: Nov.
q, 1895, punished for cutting out of
hospital and climbing over wall, to
dungeon II hours; 2Sth, continuation
of punishment, solitary % days and
forfeiture of all good time; Dec. 81,
1895, punished for loud talk between
cells by being placed in dungeon "a
hours; on the ODD, put in solitary nine
days; Jan. 20, 1898, punished for
fighting with fellow convicts in jute
mill, dungeon 33 hours; March 20,
1898, released on pardon, when o. d.
Butterfield, turnkey from the pen,
took him under his protective care,
and, l am credibly informed, had
never lost sight of him up to the time
of their departure to the land of the
reputed gold mine. On March 80,
1898, the Loyal Mining Co. filed arti.
cles of incorporation in the office of
the Secretary of State, with the names
of 0. ID. Butterfeld, ]. F. Addleman,
M. NJ. Holmes, +. H. Shut, J. H.
Patty, Ed Brooks and A. T. Osborn as
incorporators capital stock, $4,000.
Now, my dear Governor, have read
over your own signature something to
this effect: That if any one dared to
insinuate that you were implicated in
this deal, that you would see that he
got resting place behind the bars at
Walla Walla. OF course I do not
charge you, and / hope you will not
consider that l am insinudting any
thing, and also that you will not con-
clude to send me over the Baker &
Tugwell route, but rather that you
will thank me for giving you an OPP
portunity to set yourself right with
your constituents before the Legisla-
ture meets and the Senatorial contest
is OH. And now will you kindly an
swer how you came to pardon so dis
reputable character, when worthy
supplicants for your clemency cannot
get a hearing! And why did your
manager, J. +. Addleman, write that
he had spent three days with "the
Governor" and that he had accom-
plished everything that he set out to
dO-lst, the pardon of G. II. Stevens.
And why did he tell certain State
officer that he told the Governor that
he had to pardon Stevens for they had
to have that money? And did you
not give J. +. Addleman leave of
absence Of eight months from his du-
ties as Chief of Turkeys, and enable
him to 60 with the pardoned convict
to secure the treasurer If you will
kindly answer the foregoing questions,
you will confer a favor on your con-
stituency. Yours, &C.,
H. II. HILL.

ANOTHER RECRUITING OFFICE
To Be Opened Here For the Third U
 s V. Engine; rs,

Another recruiting office will be opened in Birmingham this week. Maj. H. c. Da- wis of the Third United States Volunteer Engineers will be in this city tomorrow and Friday to enlist men for his regiment.
 The Hull bill authorizes the raising of three regiments of volunteer engineers, and this one, which is being organized at Mo- bile, is one of them. Major Davis is trav- cling through the statae securing recruits, and will spend the days mentioned above in Birmingham.
 The engineering department is considered by many as being the most desirable branch of the service. The work to which the engineers are assigned is certainly more pleasant than that of either the infantry, cavalry, artillery or hospital. Sergeants of engineers in time of war receive s40.SO a month; corporals. $24; first-class privates, $2O.4O; second-class privates, SLIGO.

YEARLY STAT EMENT
Of Receipts and Disburs em ents by the
 Government Made Public.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Assistant Secre- tary Howell today made public the follow ing statement in regard to the receipts and disbursements of the government during the last fiscal year:
 Receipts including Pacific railroad items, were s405, ,32l 1885,
 Expenditures. including Pacific railroad items s44S, S6S,5S2, leaving a defcii of s3S, ,O47, PAT. If we exclude the receipts from Pacific railroads amounting to S64, I5l ,22s and the expenditures on this account of $4549 36S, the account would stand as follows:
 Receipts $340 5S0,111; expenditures S43S,S19, PA. leaving a deficit of S9S, 249 103.
 This large deficit is accounted for in part by the extraordinary demands upon the treasury to carry on the war. A con- servative estimate of the war expenditures during the months of March. April. May and June is $56. .0OO GOO. If we deduct this from the $9S, 103 the deficit would be S42 249, ,1O3 In other words the deficit would not have exceeded this amount on a peace basis. At the end of the first seven months of the fiscal year the deficit was $51.9 1923. Deduct from this Si2,24 49103 and we find that the deficit has been reduced during the last five months of the fiscal year S9652, 119. It thus appears that during the last five months of the year, our receipts exceeded our expenditures on peace basis over nine and a half millions, or to express it in another way the tariff jaw of 1897 produced during the last five months of the fiscal year revenue which exceeded our ordi- nary expenditures over nine millions of dollars.

A PREACHERS VIEW.
He Tells of the Conditions at Camp
 Miami.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I saw a few avs ago an item in the Jack sonyille Times Union and Citizen praising this place as a fine camping ground and strongly implying that the soldiers were satisfied with the location. Also that there was very little eickness in camps and none of serious nature. Now so far as the men being satified with the location. they are not. The officers as well as their men are badly dissatisfied. The plat of ground on which we are camped was covered with palmetto and rocks, which is not fully cleared yet And where it has been taken off the ground it leaves bed of ash-colored sand. The place where they have been drilling is just simply so rough and so hard on the men that the officers have refused to take the men out to drill, except in camps
 As for the health, there seems to be about p per cent of the men unable for duty, while there are 1,055 in the hospital great many are dying As many as eight in twenty-four hours have died. Some die in the hospital. others die in their tents
 The water has been condemned, except as it is boiled. and guards are stationed
 
 using it except for washing purposes
 For the last few days we have had enough lee furnished to supply us with cool water for about two hours in the day. The ice factory cannot supply the demand. Our next chance is to go three-quarters of a mile with canteents to a spring that is just about the temperature of hy drant water in Birmingham.
 Mosquitos tackle the boys in strong force every evening at sundown. And all the cursing and fighting, and even killing thousands of the little fellows does not seem to thin their ranks or bluff them. They are very small but they thrust their dagger through a mans uniform or even his poncho. We have our choice-sleep in a strong smoke or not sleep at all. Tke boys prefer fighting Spanirds to fighting mosquitos, but there are no Spaniards handy they will just continue the mosquito warfare.
 But all faces look cheerful this morning. as theresis a report in the camps that we are to leave for some other state within a few days They say anywhere to get away from Miami. I say so too.

NEGRO RECRUITING
 OFFICER IN JAIL BeSsemerites Form an Aversion
 to His Trade. PERSECUTION IS CLAIMED He Was First Arrested and Fined For Obstructing Streets, and Now
 For Difficulty With
 an Officer.
PERSECUTION IS CLAIMED

It appears that Bessemsrites do not take well to negro recruiting officers. They may not have more negroes than they want, but no matter what the cause, there is one eoon-hued lasso artist out after the patri- otic who now tells sorrowful story as he peeps through the bars.
 Sergeant Samuel Marshall, colored of Company c, Third Alabama Volunteers. who has for the past several days been re- cruiting at Bessemer, was locked in the county jail yesterday afternoon on a war rant sworn out before Justice William Jackson, charging him with presenting a pistol to an officer.
 Marshalai claims that the charge was trumped up in order to drive him out of the town, so as to prevent him from securing more recruits
 It seems that the trouble Started on Sat urday when Marshall was arrested by Off, Ger Christlieb of the Bessemer police de- pertinent on the charge of presenting a pistol to an officer. Marshall and another recruiting officer were standing on the street talking to a crowd of negroes abou. eniisting when Officer ChIistlieb came along and attempted to place them under arrest for obstructing the streets. p
 It is claimed by Marshall that the officer attempted to take his pistol from him. and that he simply drew it from his belt and placed it behind him to prevent the officer from taking 1t. The two recruiting officers were taken to the city prison, where they were placed under bond for their appear ance Monday morning, when they were both fined. The matter was reported to a superior officer of the company who was in Birmingham, and, although protesting against the action of the city, paid the fines and had the men released.
 Marshall was sent back to Bessemer yes- his appearance on the street he was re- arrested on the same charge and brought to this city and placed in jail. The war rant on which the arrest was made was sworn out by Officer Christlieb and is re- turnable to the Bessemer division of the circuit court.
 Lieutenant Hagood of the Third regi- ment, who Is in the city. heard of the ar rest and made an effort to secure Marshalrs release although up to a late hour last night he had been unsuccessful.
 Marshall was selected from company of 100 men to act as recruiting agent on account of his cooness and intellignce and it is said bears a good reputation. He en- listed from Huntsville and was made first sergeant of his company
 It is probable that the United States mill itary authorities will make a demand on the civil authorities for his release.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
A Delivery Wagon Completely Demol-
 ished

An exciting runaway occurred yesterday afternoon in the business portion of the city. A horse and buggy being driven by a representative of the Atlantic and Pa cific Tea company was left standing in front of Loveman & Josephs in Nineteenth street.
 The animal became frightened from some cause and started down the street at break-neck speed. At First avenue 1t turned down toward Eighteenth street, the buggy swaying from side 10 side. Sugar and tea and the other contents of the ye- hicle were thrown around promiscuous.y. About midway the block the buggy was de- molished against post and tne horse thrown off it's feet. The horse was un- injured, but the buggy was total wreck. Both belonged to Fies & Son.
