OPERA HOUSE MASS MEETING

A whole carload of Moody dispensary
bill enthusiasts went down to Montgomery
from Birmingham yesterday morning to
use all the influence in their power to get
the lower house of the general assembly to
pass that measure. They were given a
special car by the railroad and they filled
it completely.
The most conspicuous feature of the par
ty was that so many ladies were along
1t is an unusual sight, to say the least,
to see ladies in a party going to the capt.
tai city to lobby a bill through the legis-
lature.
The Birmingham w. C. T. U. was well
represented. Among the ladies who went
yesterday morning, in the afternoon and
who will go this morning are Mrs. c. b.
Spencer, president of the state w. c. 7.
u; Mrs A. N. Ballard. Mrs. T. H. Ham,
ilton, Mrs. A. B. Wheeler, Mrs. James Vim
cent, Mrs r. D. Johnston, Mrs. James
Johnston, Mrs. George C. Ball and others
Among the gentlemen who went We're
Chairman Jams Vinson, James E. Webb,
and Dr. G. c. Kelley, of the campaign
committee appointed by the pastors union,
DR.. R. D. Gray, DR.. J. w. Newman, Rev.
Mr.. Hawkins, Rev. Mr. Ellis, ]. B Burris,
| H. K White, J. B. Chamberlin, ]. B. Helm,
| and a great many others. The party of
| eight which went to Montgomery yesterday
morning was to make arrangements for
| terday afternoons delegation. 1t was not
| known just when the bill would be given
| hearing, or in fact when it would come
| up before the committee on revision of
| laws to which it was referred, but the
| delegation as whole said that 1t would re-
| main in Montgomery until something def
| mite was done.

TRAINS DELAYED.
BY the Wrecking of a Freight Train on
the Southern.

The wreck OF q freight train on the
Southern railroad near Waco, Ca, caused
a great deal of confusion in the Southern
trains between here and Atlanta yesterday
The wreck occurred at Z o'clock in the
morning and was caused by one of the cars
In the through freight from this city jump
ing the track and ditching three or four
cars and the caboose behind it. The cars
were loaded with molasses, sugar and flour
and the ground around the wreck was
fairly covered with this sweet naixture.
The cor ducto of the train, Robert O'Con
nor, had his reg badly bruised up, p,.- il
was not broken, at first reported. He
was taken on to Atlanta and there given
medical attention.
1t was several hours before the wrcking
train from Atlanta arrivd to dump the
cars off the track into the ditch and let
the other trains pass. AS a consequence,
the fast mail, due to arrive here at 11:20
O'Clock yesterday morning, did not arrive
until about five. The east bound train,
leaving her at 6 O'Clock in the morning,
left tho main line at Admission and went on
to Atlanta by way of Rome.

THE MASS MEETING
At O'Briens Opera House Sunday
Afternoon.

A packed house at o'Brien's Sunday after
noon answered the ministers call for a
mass meeting, and the assemblage was an
animated one from beginning to end If
there had been a charge for admission the
8. R. o. sign would have ornamented the
entrance long before the speaking began.
The spacious building was packed from
parquet to the peanut gallery. and the
almost continuous applause betokened great
feeling on the object of the meeting.
DIR. B d. Gray presided over the meeting
at first but had to leave early, as did Dr.
Cunningham, and the chair was turned over
to DR.. Kelly. DR.. Cunningham was the prin-
cipal speaker, and as he advanced to the
center Of the stage his voice could not be
heard over the verflowing applause.
The opening prayer was delivered by Dr.
A. B. Curry, who in an earnest manner
prayed that the Great Father would guide
the general assembly in considering the
great measure before them.
DR.. d. B. Gray then called the meeting to
order and in a short speech stated that
never before had he seen the moral forces
so strongly aligned as now. He concluded
by introducing Dr. Cunningham, who, after
waiting for quite some time, spoke in part
as follows:
Cunningham's Speech
'.In the presence of God Almighty and
this magnificent audience, let me say that
l would rather have this reception with
which you have greeted me than the en-
tire $4,000 raised by the saloonkeepers and
hFRp tn mil / boz,
have your applause than be governor Of
Alabama by the votes and at the behest
of the supporters of the liquor traffic.
AT the basis of the discussion lies the
effects of liquor. How does liquor affect
the body, the mind, the soul and society.
We know that liquor contains many of
the same chemical elements as compose
the human body. When liquor is taken into
the system as alcohol and excreted, 1t
leaves nothing behind that benefits the
body in the slightest degree. 1t is in no
sense food. Let 1t reach the liver, and
under its influence that organ will contract
and become a useless bunch of muscular
and diseased tissue. Taken into the blood
1T sets it on fire and burns up the vitality
Let 1t touch the brain, and reason and
Judgment are temporarily hurled from
their throne and the man secs visions peo-
pied by shapes compared with which hell
would be a bouquet and garden. Under
its awful power the hand which should be
the defender of his fellowman strikes down
his brothr and often lays low the vito and
child 1t makes the man n beast turns
happy homes into hopeless novels; 1t con-
trolls society and the body polite. In our
own city we have a proof of this last
statement. Which one of the gentlemen
who seek to be your police commissioner
has yet declared himself anxious to elect
chief who will see that the liquor laws
are enforced and the saloons closed on
Sunday? OF your candidates for mayor,
what one has said thnt he will hold the sa-
looms to account?

hands of Roland Reed. A capable actor
can in nine cases out of ten make much out
of nothing.
Considering the disagreeable weather
there was large audience at o. Brien's last
night to see Mr.. Reed in His Father S
Bay" There are two hen-pecked husbands
in this play. Mr.. Reed is one, in the part
of William Pennie and Sheridan upper,
the other, in the part of Edward Burney.
Pennie married for money. He invented i
fictitious first marriage and a son living
away in the Rocky mountains as a pretext
to get monthly allowance for his own use.
His wife takes an idea that the son must
be brought to live with them. There the
amusing complications begin. A sweet
heart of their daughter, Nita, is taken by
Mrs. Pennie for the son" This furnished
food for many hilarious situations.
Miss Isadore Rush, in private life Mrs.
Roland Reed, was seen in the role of Mrs.
in such a sober part. She acted well, but
looked as young and pretty as her supposed
daughter.

Western Passenger Troubles

The Western Passenger Association
is in the midest of another crisis,
which may result In its dissolution,
says Chicago dispatch. Unless the
st. Paul line can be induced to return
to the fold 1t is predicted the members
of the organization will ignore the rate
maintaining principles of the associa-
tion and offer competition to that line
and the roads which never have been
identified with the association who are
in the Getting here this week believe
that preservation of rates will be an
re-esta olishes it's membership.
The Chicsgo-St. Paul lines met re-
Gently for the purpose of devising
some means whereby the St. Paul can
be induced to re-enter the association.
The matter was left unsettled, and the
representative of one lire expressed
himself as hs.ving but little hope that
1t would be satisfactorily settled at
this meeting of the association. The
threatened collapse of the association
may be avoided il all the outside lines
become members of the organization.
TIE Miiwaukee and ST. Paul, the
strong liae without the fold, agreed to
come into the organization provided
the Wisconsin Central, the Great
Western and the Minneapolis and st.
Louis lines do likewise.
When this proposition was submitted
the Great Western voted to agree,
subject to the approval of the president.
as did the Wisconsin Central represen-
tative, and the vote of the Minneapolis
and ST. Louis was withheld.
