FIRST SERVICE
Of the Feast of Passover Held Last Night at
 Temple Emanuel.

The Feast of the Passover, one of the most important in the Jewish church, be- gan yesterday evening at o'clock and lasts for eight days
 Short services were held at Temple Emanuel at that hour, which were impress sively conducted by Rabbi Newfield.
 After the services at the temple the wor- shippers returned to their homes, where the "Seder" or Passover supper was served. This interesting feature of the celebration is perhaps the most important of the festi- val. It Is observed with feasting, prayer and song. At this service the full meaning of the festival is Iucidly explained by of- ferings, symbolic of the principal events in- cident to the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
 The principal service of the celebration will be held at Temple Emanuel at 10:30 o'clock this morning, when Rabbi New field will deliver a sermon appropriate to the occasion.
 A special musical program has also been arranged.

SOME TRICKS OF
 THE POLITICIAN Anonymous Letters Are Playing "a Leading Roll in Lo-
 cal Arena.

The week in politics is being character ized by anonymous campaign documents of a very unsavory character, and other ex- amples of "Bowery politics.
 Neither the Stiles nor the Henry people claim the authorship of the much discussed '"True Blue Democrat" circular, which brings some very henious political charges against Lane.
 'I can't understand why Lane should write such dirty card about himself" re- marked the campaign wag yesterday. Lane has issued a card denouncing the blue tinted democrat in severest terms.
 Another favorite plan worked by the ward heelers'' these days Is to send a keg of beer up to the musters of military com- panies, and, in fact, to any old gathering of men that they can find. They mount the keg and proceed to make a speech show ing that their candidate is the only candi- date in the race for such and such a judge ship. They then invite the crowd to help themselves.

AT ALL HOURS OF NIGHT
The InvincibIe Telephone Girl"
 Will Answer Your Calls.
CHANCE IN LOCAL EXCHANGE
Effective Yesterday--First Car Load of Material for Underground Work Has Arrived.
 New Building About Completed.

Several changes have been announced in the local office of the Southern Bell Tele- phone and Telegraph company, which took effect yesterday.
 One of the most radical changes is the substitution of the invincible telephone girl" as night operators in place of the young men, who have heretorfore kept watch through the vigils of the night.
 This change has no special significance, but comes in the regular line of promo tion Miss Hattie Woods, who has been in the service of the company for some years, has been promoted to night chief, and will be assisted by Miss Mary Ware, another expert operator.
 Former night chief, Joe H. Larramore, has been promoted to the position of book keeper and cashier, made vacant by the transfer 1f George Woodruff to Charlotte, N. C., chief clerk to Superintendent M B. Sper of that division.
 On the 18th inst, Mrs. J. l. Wilder, nee Miss Bobby Woods, ,who has been In the service of the company for about twelve years, and who occupies the position as day chief will tender her resignation and Miss May Bower will be advanced to fill the vacancy.
 W. T. Gentry, general superintendent of the company, with headquarters in At lanta, and D. c. Sims district superin- tendent, with headquarters in Montgomery, were in the city yesterday looking over the work now in progress in this city, and left on the afternoon train for Montgom- cry.
 The first car load of material for the under ground work arrived yesterday and the engineering department is at work preparing plans of the underground sys- tenn which are to be submitted to City Engineer Kendrick in accordance with the ordinance recently passed by the city council granting permission to do the work
 As soon as the plans are approved two large forces of workmen will be put to work, one on the underground and the other on the overhead work, which will be pushed to a speedy completion.
 The new building in Second avenue, be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, is about completed, and Manager w. l.. Woodruff will move his office, which will occupy the ground floor of the building, in the next few days.
 When the exchange is finally installed in its new home with long distance connec- tions to the principal cities of the south, Birmingham can boast of one of the best equipped and perfect telephone systems in the country.

THE FREEZE.
What t Did for the Flower and Market Gar
 dens.

.'Fhe freeze this morning played havoc with the market and flower gardens of thds district" said w. M Lindsay, the day, "and from what can learn the fruit crop was entirely killed. What was not killed hast night will be tonight.
 'Never since have been in Birmingham have I seen such a hate freeze as this, not excepting the freeze of 1854. That occurred March 25 You can always count on 1t that tfsere is a late cold spell just before Easter, and in many cases a freeze. I never plant any of my plants that are not of a hardy nature before Easter.
 From what have heard today all the bulbs and flowers of every kind were killed. Everything in the gardens except the tur- nips and the Nike were killed. I have heard of acres and acres of potato vines that were killed and that will have to be re- planted. I am very much afraid that the young corn throughout this district is killed. If this is true. it VIII be the most serious injury of the freeze.
 "A curious fact that have noticed around Birmingham is that in cold spells it is several degrees warmer on the south. side of the city than on the north. l have known plants to be killed on the North Highlands and similar plants were not in- jured on the South Highlands. This Is &C., counted for by the fact that there are so many furnaces, coke ovens, railroads and other industries in the city, the smoke and heat from which is blown sotrthward. In consequerpce the temperature on the south side of the city Is perceptibly n1Stigated.
 ''Dr. Berry, who owns a large peach or cfYard on Shades mountain, took advan- tage of this phenomenon and last night built large bonfires on the north side of his orchard. have not yet heard whether tfMs plan succeeded In saving his fruit"

FIRST BLOOD
For the Barkeepers' Demurers Sustained in
 the Sunday Selling Cases.

First blood in the crusade against Sum day liquor selling was scored by the de- fense yesterday, when the case of Dave Polk one of the barkeepers, who was ar- rested on the charge, was called in the in- feror criminal court. A
 The prosecution was represented by Vas- sar L. Allen, and the defense by w. P. McCrossn. B. M. Allen, who also ap- peared for the defense, is said to have rep- resented the Liquor Dealers association.
 It will be remembered that several days ago warrants were sworn out against Dave Polk and Dick Hawkins, charging them with having violated the rules and ordi- nances of the mayor and aldermen of Blr- mingham in regard to Sunday selling. The warrants were sworn out by Arlie Barber, representing a number of persons who had instituted a quiet crusade against the allged practice It was also given out that evidence had been secured against twenty two saloon keepers and that this evidence was in the shape of as many half-pint bot ties of whisky which had been purchased during Sunday hours.

CITY SOLONS IN SESSION Only About 20 Minutes On Ac- count of Beat Meetings. BUSINESS RUSHED THROUGH Monthly Pay Roll Ordered Paid-Petition of Receiver Latady of the H. A. and
 Belt Railroad Granted.

The city council met in regular semi monthly session at the city hall last night at 7:SO o'clock. Mayor Evans, Aldermen Lynagh, Wheeler, Ashford, Rainbow, Me Knight, Moore Graham, Hamilton, Pearce, Gray, Parker, Harrington and Hentshel were present.
 The board only remained in session about twenty minutes. It is said that the reason that such a short session was held was that some of the aldermen were anxious to at- tend the beat meetings scheduled for last night. The primary is now only short time off and the solons are so interested in the welfare of the city they are anxious that only fit and worthy men should be nominated, and are taking no small part in manipulating the political wires.
 The reading of the minutes of the pre- vious meeting was dispensed with.
 Chairman Pearce of the police and sani- tation committee presented the monthly pay roll of the city employees and it was ordered paid.
 A number of petitions were presented and referred to the various committees without being read.
 Clerk Camp presented a number of cita- tions and they were made final by the board.
 The council then adjourned.
  street and street railway committee to con- slider proposition from A Latady, re- ceiver for the Highland Avenue and Belt railroad, was held in the mayors office.
 The Highland Avenue line Is In the hands of receiver and he Is not allowed to pay out any money without an order from the court. Avenue G, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-nine streets, is to be graded by the city, and according to the franchise under which the line is operated the cen- ter of the street should be graded by the company.
 MT. Latady asked that the city do this work at it's own expense and assess the company for the amount necessary to do this If the property is assessed the court will be compelled to advance the money to reimburse for it's expenditure to prevent the sale of the line.
 Alderman Moore moved that Mir. La- tadys proposition be agreed to. The motion was carried and the committees adjourned.
