of the sanitary condition of this city and
on Monday the city is to be thoroughly

inspected. The two health officers said that
things were not as bad reported but that
the city needed a thorough cleaning to
avoid the spread Of germ diseases during
the hot months.
The garbage contract has been let to
Burkhater & Co.. and additional teams and

Dronnen yesterday:
"On Monday. June 10, the city will

or boxes at the time the trash wagons
call. The police and health depart

ORDINATION OF A PRIEST
Interesting Ceremonies in the Benedic-
tine Church

The Rev. Father o'Reily and the Rev.
Father Meurer have returned from Gull
man where they attended the commence
ment exercises of ST. Demands college and
the ordination of the Rev. Mr.. Finley to
the priesthood Bishop Allen conferred the
order, the solemn ceremonies taking place
in the Benedictine church attached to the
abbey. Father oReilly speaks of it as a
most impressive service. The bishop was
assisted by the abbot and many priests
the clergy seated within the chancel or
sanctuary numbering between twenty-five
and thirty Father Finley came to the alb
hey from Brooklyn, but he was ordained
for the diocese of Nashville, and will at
once report for duty to Bishop Byrne.
The abbey at Culiman, although only
about seven years old, is a strong centre of
influence. There are between fifteen and
twenty monks there and among them are
some of the ripest scholars in the Catholic
church. Father O'Reilly regards the alb
hey as an ideal place for students. The air
is pure and the wooded hills form scenery
of the most enchanting beauty. The father
says the Benedictines have certainly ac-
complished wonders in the few years since
they founded the Cullman abbey. In 1892
they came to a wilderness. But rapidly the
forest was cleared and monastery build
ings and the church were erected, and to-
day. says Father o'Reily, one who saw the
place at the beginning of the work would
not recognize it now.
Father Henery formerly located in Bir-
mingham but now of Decatur, is recover
ing from his recent illness.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening Taxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening.
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are ased, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

More Nav Go Out Today

On account OF this action of the company
about a fourth of the miners, it is stated,
laiu off from work yesterday, but the re-
mainder, as stated above, continued to
work and about sixty cars of ore were
mined 1t is possible that more of the
miners will go out on the strike this morn
Ing. 1t is stated by the officers of the COM
pany that further trouble is not appre-
hended. They say that the miners are al
ready paid 50 cents per carload, which is
the price paid at the mines all over the
mountain. For precautions sake the COM
pany sent to Birmingham yesterday to
notify Sheriff O'Bren of the trouble, and
four deputies were sent out to the scene to
keep down any disturbance that might
arise. No trouble was reported during the
day. = e.

MINERS ON STRIKE
Committee Called on Officials of
Robinson Company.
ASKED A RAISE-WERE FIRED

Say That Further Trouble is
Not Apprehended

A portion of the ore miners of the Rob-
inson Mining company at Ishkooda went
out on strike yesterday and it is possible
that the trouble may be increased this
morning, though the officials of the mines
hope to keep down all further disturbance
It was reported in the city yesterday that
the mines were closed down entirely, but
this was not the case, for sixty carloads OF
output being between eighty and ninety
cars.
The details of the trouble as can be
learned are about as follows: Notices have
been put up around the mines for several
days, calling a mass meeting of all en-
ployes for Wednesday night. No names
were signed to the call. When the meet
ing assembled less than hundred OF the
company's thousand employees were present,
and they appointed a committee to call on
the company yesterday morning and de-
mand an increase of wages.
Asked for an Increase
Inc committee, consisting of nine MEM
bers, called on the officers of the company
yesterday morning, and demanded that the
wages of all the miners of the company
be increased 1214 cents per running car, and
gave the company until next Monday to
aecede to this demand; otherwise general
strike of all employees was threatened. The
officers of the company claimed that the
committee was not representing the mass
of the miners, and were not authorized to
threaten a strike. All of the committee
men, several of whom were white men,
were Immediately discharged from the COM
pany's employ. AS they were being paid
off the company claims that one or two of
them said they had not hoped to get over
a scent increase, but they had made their
demands high and had asked for d 1215-cent
raise.
