The death rate among the citizens
and troops is increasing. The deaths
in the city daily number about so. The
mortality among the soldiers is small
however. Patients who are now con-
valescent after an attack of dysentery
and yellow fever gain strength slowly,
owing to the enervating effect of the
climate. Two hundred immunes are
now in the hospital.

 News comes from Anniston that the army team is working hard up there and that they are going in to win. Every morning immediately after reveille, 1t is said, the whole team lines up and they have hard practice. Those officers from Anniston who are already in the city. say that large number of soldiers will accompany the team to Birmingham, arriving here at 11:20.
 All of the Athletic club people who have been out to the new athletic park at North Birmingham, are delighted with the loca- tion and the manner in which the Traction company is fitting 1t up. Within the past ten days a big fence has been built around the enclosure. commodious grand stands erected. the grounds laid off and the grid iron enclosed with a wire fence.
 Tickets will be on sale today at a number of stores around Birmingham and also on all of the Traction company cars. as well as the Highland Avenue and Belt Railway dummies. The tickets including admission to the park and car fare both ways is 50 cents Transfers are issued on both of the Traction company's lines and the Highland avenue line. A splendid macadamized road leads out to the park from the city. The route is out Nineteenth street to the ceme- tery and thence almost due north over Huntsville avenue. It leads right by the grounds.

ideal footbal nature-cool and bracing, with little or no wind. It is just the kind of day that fills one with enthusiasm and makes football the most spirited of all games. There is nothing so exciting as a quick and lively football game.
 The livery stable people say that there is a large demand for drags and other ve- hicles and that there will be a number of them in use today. The typical football girl, with her warm cloak and yards of flying ribbons will be strongly in evidence. Numbers of them will wear the "O.d Glory colors of red, white and blue, for besides the popularity of several of the army players in this city, there is nothing which appeals to the American girl as the soldier But there are still hundreds of others who will wear the dark blue and white of the Birmingham Athletic club, and wear it in great profusion. The men on the Athletic club team have hosts of friends here.
 Both teams are in readiness for the game. Yesterday afternoon the Athletic club team had its first practice out at the new North Birmingham park, and all the players pro- nounced the grounds excellent It is entire ly free from the rocky chirt which char acterized the old Lakeview foot ball grounds Last night the team had more practice, though of lighter nature, at the

DEWEY'S CHANGE
 FOR PRESIDENCY No Man Can Approach Him in
 Public Popularity. AS OFFICER AND DIPLOMAT He Has Won Marked and Deserved Dis tinction-His Services Have Been Free from Personal Jealousies
 Characteristic of Sampson.
AS OFFICER AND DIPLOMAT

Two years is a space of time within presidential election was shortly to take place, and it was found desirable at the present time to canvass for candidates, we imagine the man who would be looked up- availability would be Admiral Dewey. His party affiliations are probably quite as pro- nounced as, or, to phrase it differently, no more pronounced than, those of General Grant were at the close of the civil war. The democratic conventions have claimed him as Q conspicuous specimen of their party, while republican authorities have asserted that he has always been known as Admiral Dewey continues to hold anything approaching the popularity that he pos sesses at the present time, no candidate can be named who will approach him in vote-drawng qualities, says the Boston Herald.
 |. As naval officer, as diplomatist, as an administrator, he has won marked and de- served distinction his service has been en- tirely free from the personal jealousies which have characterized both our naval and military operations in the West Indies
 he has kept himself absolutely in reserye, except when it was necessary for him to make an official report or to praise the ac- tons of his subordinates. In the difficult positions in which he has been placed he has neither "slopped over" shown the least tendency toward undue arrogance. All this has told tremendously in his favor and at the present time, if he were polit ical candidate, he would sweep in votes in untold numbers in the central and western sections of our country, and do almost, if not quite, as well in the eastern section.
 If the democrats nominated him. it would be hard, if not impossible, for the republi- cans to bring against him any one who could defeat him, although he would proba- bly, run better as a republican than as a democratic candidate. We make this esti- mate on the supposition that the popularity which Admiral Dewey now possesses is continued, and that eighteen months from now he stands before the people as con- spicuous and pre-eminent as he does at the present time. But, as has been said, 'Time has wallet on his back in which he puts aims for oblivion,' and it may be that in the spring and summer of 1900 the wise and valorous deeds of Admiral Dewey will be looked upon as "reminiscences in con- quence of the coming to the front of new issues and new men. Still if judged by present appearances, he is more likely than MT. Mckinley to be inaugurated president on March 4, 1901.

FLAG NAILED IN THE PHILIPPINES

From the New York Journal.
 National expansion is safe. What the Spanish commissioners at Paris have done or way do is immaterial. The essential thing is what we demand, for what we de- mand we shall have.
 We have announced our intention to take the Philippines, and have given Spain week to decide whether she will hand them over peaceably and receive 900 as conso- lation premium or have them taken from her without payment and with some of her other possessions thrown in for our trouble
 We have discussed elsewhere the pro- posed payment of 900 for the prize we have fairly won in war. But whatever blunders the government may make in matters of dollars and cents can be lived down. The substantial fact is that 114000 square miles of fertile soil are henceforth to be opened to American civilizations; to be developed according to American ideas, and to be occupied as far as practicable by American settlers.
 Welcome to the American Philippines! The flag is up in the Old World, and long may it wave!

 giving Day. LITTLE WORK IN THE COURTS Prisoners in County Jail Will be Served Turkey and the Proverbial Sauce The City's Prisoners Will
 Have Usual Fare.
LITTLE WORK IN THE COURTS

In court circles Thanksgiving Day will be only partially observed.
 Judge Toulmin of the United States court announced on Tuesday that he would hold no court today, although docket had been set, all cases VIII be passed. In the circuit court Judge Coleman an- nounced that he would take up no new cases on Thanksgiving Day, but that in event the court was engaged upon the trial of case, no recess would be taken.
 Dockets have been set in both the First and second divisions of the city court, and it is possible that Judge Wilkerson and Judge Bush will hold court
 The criminal court disposed of its docket for the week on Tuesday, and Judge Greene and the other attaches of the court will be able to eat their turkey in peace.
 The chancery and probate courts have TO special business set, and 1t is probable that at least a sem;-holidy will be observed in these branches.
 Judge Feagin of the inferior criminal court will do business at the old stand, and it IS safe to say that the guilty unfortunates who stand before him will be deprived of the pleasure of enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner at home.
 Thanksgiving Day is always happy oc- casion at the county jail, and as usual, Sheriff O'Brien will this year serve tur- key dinner. Some of the prisoners yester- day slacked up on "every day grub in or der to do justice to the feast today.
 The city prisoners will be less fortunate Up to last night no provision had been made to celebrate" and it is probable that turkey will be missing from the bill-of-fare at that popular hostlery today.

EXPERIMENT RE SERVED FOR SOUTH

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 To set black men over white men in the more negro-ridden districts of the South Is to light a tourch in a powder mill. Yet in northern communities from which dis proportionate numbers have expelled the menace and almost the consciousness of racial antagonism, this would not be con- sdered, from the political point of view, a prudent thing to do.
