First Day of Sunday Law
This will be the first day of the enforce
ment of the now Sunday closing law. and
drinkers who have not previously provided
themselves will probably find it hard
matter to get their thirst quenched.
1t is said that all the bars at the various
social clubs will be closed and a close
watch will be kept on the saloons The
liquor dealers generally are heartily i'll ac-
cord with the Sunday closing ordinance,
and will assist the officers in enforcing the
law. One of them said yesterday after
noon that he had always been opposed to
selling whisky on Sunday, but that it had
to be done to protect themselves against
the many saloon keepers who were getting
all the trade on that day.
There is some difference of opinion as to
whether the new law applies to the social
clubs or not Mayor Drennen said yesteF-
day that he had not thoroughly Investigate
ed the matter, and under the clrcumS fanceS
did not care to express an opinion. He
said that the question would be referred to
the judiciary committee, and he would be
governed by their construction OF the law
Mayor Drennen was called upon several
times yesterday to give TN opinion on the
clause of the Sunday law providing VINO
shall enter saloons on Sunday.

clerks" Several of the saloon men asked
If their portcrs could go in and clean up.
Mayor Dreanen said he thought they
could do so provided they cleaned up in a
reasonable fine and got out.

chairman of the board of police commits

last evening, but as yet have not arrived

improvements in all parts of the building.
Chief Austin went through the city prison
and found it in deplorable condition. He
says the place is, dirty and needs thorough
cleaning The department for female pris-
oners is not large enough and women of
both races are huddled together, regardless
of color. Mr.. Austin intends making re-
port to the mayor and see If something
can't be done towards improving the city
prison. There are over one hundred pris-
oners in the all, and there are not more
than ten blankets in the place.
Birmingham is very badly in need of
more policemen and the new chief and the
board of pole commissioners are all in ia
vor of making an addition of ten. men.
This request will be made to the mayor
and board of aldermen and Favorable re-
port is expected. With this increase no
city in the south of equal size will have a
superior police department to that of Bir-
zmingham.
The salary of the men has been increased
and all that is now necessary to have
model police force is to increase the number
of men.

1t is said that Chief Austin has already
given his men a few tips on rules that
must be observed. One of them is that
men must not drink while on duty.

the men what he would expect of them
The commanding officers were instructed
to see that the rule was rigidly enforced,

ANY time. Amateur performers are
not respecters of clocks-nor of persons.
The first number was a song in a diluted
soprano by a young lady who had never
faced Il cold and critical world under such
trying conditions before. At first it struck
me that they'd made a mistake and showed
on the deaf and dumb lady in a panto-
mimo sketch, but after the tenth verse;

Next"
IAN encore, dittoing what l have just
described. After that came a recitation by
young lady with a voice like a speaking
tube-up six flights. She had all the light
and airy grace of a ton of coal as to her
actions, and her voice was clearly not on
speaking terms with the rest of her senses.
1t evidently frightened the poor girl to
listen to its lawful tones, and l don't doubt
she would gladly have sentenced it to six
months in state prison had she had her
way. After that anne a lank gentleman

Torpedo Comes Ashore.
Loa

A loaded torpedo recently came ashore
which had been floating about. no one
knew how ong, a menace to all craft.
Many disease germs quite as deadly are
floating about at this season of the year
thirsting for the weak spot in lungs or
stomach. The best thing to do is to
fortify yourself against them by keeping
the bowels regular, the stomach sweet
and the blood pure. Hcstetter's Stomach
Bitters will do this more effectually than
anything else. 1t has been the standard
remedy for weak stomachs for half a
century, and may be had from any drug
gist. 1t is particularly effective in all
cases of biliousness and inactive kidneys,
and is also a sure cure for malaria and
fever and ague. 1t is worth trying.
