 Four weeks from today Birmingham will be in the midst of the postponed carnival celebration which promises to be more gorgeous than was originally planned.
 A general meeting of the several work ing committees of the Carnival society was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Commercial club at which the official programme was formally adopted and other arrangements completed. . The meeting was called to order at stated his reasons for calling the commit tees together. He announced that a corps of bill posters had been sent out with the
 
 s bama Great Southern railroad. He also stated that in response to numerous inquir- ies he had given out for publication a short time since a statement that the original programme would be carried out, but sug- gested that in view of the fact. that many of the floats for the trades display could not be obtained that the trades parade he made part of the official parade on Tues day.
 The suggestion met with the approval of the committee and on motion the pro- gramme was adopted.
 Maskers Will he Permitted
 The question of retaining the mask fea- ture of the carnival was raised, and it was unanimously agreed to request the city council to suspend all ordinances against and to permit maskers on the streets. Grand Marshal E. J. McCrossin reported that his royal highness, Rex Vulcan w., was more enthusiastic than ever before and that during the postponement he had replenished his wardrobe and would appear in costumes more gorgeous than had at first been intended.
 It was decided that all tickets heretofore issued for the Rex ball would be recognized and that parties who had lost or misplaced their tickets could obtain duplicates by making the proper application to the pres ident.
 The work of the finance committee will be taken up and completed at once. The re- ports of the various committees were most encouraging and indications point to the most successful carnival in the history Of the society.

OUTDOOR BASKET BALL.
Meeting at Athletic Club Tonight to
 Consider a Spring s rios.

There will be a meeting of the Athletic club tonight of all members interested in basket ball, to consider whether or not the proposed spring series of games will be played. It has been suggested that se- Iies of six games be played at an outdoor court in the tennis grounds of the club Such a series, it is thought, will be im- mensely popular not only with the mem bers of the club but also with the hun dreds of basket ball lovers in Birmingham. If the series is played at all it will begin as soon as the weather permits.
 The basket ball people of the club are still sore over the defeat which Chatta nooga received Saturday night at the hands of Nashville; otherwise the Birming ham team would have had another oppor- tunity to win the championship. They take a grain of comfort out of the fact that Nashville won the honor of the fiuke of rattled Chattanooga player, who threw the ball in the wrong basket, and also that Birmingham scored more points during the season than any other team. This will be seen from the following table:

MONEY WAS PAID IN CASH
Southern May Erect a Freight
 Depot
AND LAY ADDITIONAL TRACKS
Another Reason Given for the Purchase is That @ New Passenger Sta ton May Be Erected on
 the Property.

One of tho largest real estate deals con- summated in this city for several years was closed yesterday between the Southern Railway company and Major W. A. Handley.
 The Southern bought the property lying between the track of the Alabama Great Southern railroad and Powell avenue, and extending from Twenty-frst nearly to Twenty-fourth street for which the sum Of $10O,00O cash was paid.
 The property bought has a frontage of 1000 feet and is 160 feet in depth.
 With the exception of 200 feet between Twenty-first and Twenty-seeond streets be- longing to T. T. Hillman the land was owned by Major w. A. Handley. The trade was kept quiet until it's consummation, and no one was aware of what was going on until Major Handley, while talking to some friends yesterday morning exhibited a check for $60,O90. The remaining S40.0O0 was received last night and the papers will be turned over this morning.
 SIOO Per Front Foot
 The average price paid was $100 per front foot, which aggregated a sum of $1000OO.
 Major Handley said last night that he had been working on the deal for long time and was of the opinion that the Southern got bargain in the property at $1O000O.
 The Seuthern's motive in buying this property is a question of considerable sur- prise among the railroad men. Some seem to think tho Southern intends using the property for laying additional tracks and erecting a freight depot and other neces- sary buildings. A. prominent official said last night that this theory was not at all plausible. as the Southern would not think of expending s1OO.Ooo for this purpose. The idea is prevalent that the Southern intends erecting a large passenger station to cost not less than $500,000. They are now paying the Louisville and Nashville S1O,00O annually for the privileges of the union passenger station, and with a handsome structure of their own this amount could be saved annually, besides some income which could be derived by other roads com ing into their depot.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. prNKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is n very nm
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t Is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, TO Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. +. s. BENNETT,
westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:--I have suf-
fercd for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, l wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatmen /.
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years.
wish TO say to all distressed, suffer
ing women. do not suffer longer, when
! there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
