Society Discusses the
 Prospects Of a Golf Season

Society is discussing with much interest the organization of the golf club which was perfected on Wednesday of the past week. The membership of the club at present includes twenty-five gentlemen and society is destined to be swayed by golf season. Among the promoters are George L. Haven, J. D. Kirkpatrick, Rob- ert H. Baugh, Walter R. Milner, and others. The committee on links includes George Clark, Walter R. Milner, and Sterling Wood. The links will be put In readiness at once. They are adjacent to North Bir- mingham park and are convenient for town members.
 MT. Haven has been very much interested in the organization of the club and has succeeded in arousing great enthusiasm in the matter and society Is anticipating a lively season. If the weather continues good the links will be in readiness within a week or two. Two of the greatest golf enthusiasts in town are George Clark and Walter Milner. MT. Clark has played great deal on the links at Morristown, N. J., which are probably the finest in the coun- try. Mr. Milner, who has recently arrived from Chicago, was surprised to find Br- mingham without golf club He Is au-

The second is, Come Away, Death'-the clown song from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night" The third is "The Gardner''-words by Von Eichendorff, whose poems have been set to music oftener than those of any other Ger man author, Goethe and Schiller not ex- cepted. And the fourth is '-The Death of Trenar,1 from the Ossian poem, "Fingal. ," The composer wrote the accompaniment for two horns and one harp The horn parts will be played by George P. Jackson and Philip Memoli, and the harp by Miss Chalifoux. Of the four songs, the first and third belong to the romantic class, and the second and fourth to the tragic. The music is difficult, but singularly beautiful. When these songs were sung in Berlin few weeks ago for the first time in that city the critics were warm in praise or their beauty. In addition to the Brahms songs the Treble Clef club chorus will rem der Sweet and Low" by Hawley; Day IS at Last Departing" by Raff. and Water Nymphs," by Rubenstein, the latter having a lovely contralto solo, which VIII pc sung by Miss Leah Ullman.

Gen. Eagan and His Pay
| the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 The alleged intention of the war depart ment to hold up General Eagan's salary during the six years he is under suspension from the service is believed to be an after thought on the part of the administration. If the president had desired or intended to deprive Eagan of his pay he would in all probability have made his order suspending the commissary-general read suspended without pay" This the president, it is claimed, clearly had the right to do, and it would have relieved the matter of all doubt. Army officers believe that Eagan will be able to collect his salary during his suspension that he will have a valid legal claim to it, inasmuch as he was not spe- ever. a great deal will depend upon the view the comptroller of the treasury takes of the case. This officer as a rule has been a law unto himself. There is apparently no way to compel him to pay General Eagan his salary If he decides not to do SO. If Eagan's pay for the whole six years is withheld 1t will amount to a fine of over $SO, 900. Eagan is not rich man, and If he is deprived of his income from the govern ment he will have tp seek some means of employment, 1t is said, to defray his cur- rent expenses. He might be retained, 1t is suggested, by the beef combine to furnish certificates as to the excellent quality Of their product. H Dvever. Eagan's certifi- cates would not be likely have very much weight with foreign governments.

 The president of the Birmingham Golf club Is J. D. Kirkpatrick, an enthusiast of outdoor sports.
 Robert H. Baugh is secretary of the club.
 There are a number of young women who are also golf enthusiasts, and who during summer sojourns in the east have become well known on the links. They are antic- ipating charming season, and while there are some who assert that golf has reached its zenith in society favor at least and Is on the wane the most popular and fashionable clubs for outdoor sport continue to be golf clubs.

The Approaching Concert
 Of the Treble Clef Club

The Treble Clef club presented an att tractive programme at its first concert this season, but the programme for the next concert will include four trios for female choirs by Brahms, which will not only be new in Birmingham. but they will be heard for the first time in the United States. They are published as group and will be rendered as one number. Brahms was not only great master com- poser, but he was always careful in the selection of his literary text The first song Is entitled, When Fer the Sounding z

Backache is the first indication of kidney trouble. Urinary disorders, diabetes, and even Bright's Disease follow unless promptly checked. Nothing better to make perfect kidneys than pr. Sawyer's Ukatine.
 "The modern pill' is rightly applied to Dr. Sawyer's Little Wide Awake Pills, be- cause they perfectly and completely cure biliousness, inactive liver and constipation.
 There is no medicine that has yet been discovered that has virtues deserving to be compared with Dr. Sawyer's Wild Cherry and Tar, for bad cases of Chronic Bron- ehitis, Consumption, or any cough cold.
 priceless blessing is found in Dr. Saw yer's Arnica and Witch Hazel Salve for piles, hives, scald-head, eczema pin worms, burns and cuts

CT bordering of the frieze. If a wall is pa- pered the situation becomes more cou1pli- cated, but in that case the poster can be done upon water color paper and tackled in place.
 A correspondent wrote me few days ago to ask the proper shape for poster. I could only tell her that there Is no regula- tion shape, although on looking over the finest poster collection in New York I find that fancy runs toward the long, narrow panel.
 The work of Aubrey Beardsley must not be confounded with the poster work of to- day. Beardsley purposely distorted his hg ures. He did it so successfully that people were amused and pronounced him suc- cess. But the poster work of today aims at reality, with a rich combination of color such one is now and then fortunate enough to see in real life.
 The best example of this can be found in the work of Cheret Qlnown as the fa- ther of posters). Grasset, Mueha, Dudley Hardy and Penfield Miss Ethel Reed is notable example of womans success in the art of poster making.

bearish Interpretation of the government
crop report. Corn and oats each closed
sc higher Pork lost 1214c; lard and ribs,
2l1c each.
The government crop report which sug-
eested a Weld of 80 100000 bushels, gave
wheat a weak start. The sentiment, how
ever soon changed, and the market be-
came strong on reports from several
states of the appearance of bugs.
The buying was weak-hearted, and
when advices were received from But
falo that the announcement of an early
compromise of the labor troubles was
premature everybody who had wheat be-
gan TO unload. The market declined
steadily TO the close. July opened Sole

clined to tic. Many stop loss orders were
reached at Tic, and they closed slump,
and the close was at zoe.

strengthened corn, but part of the ad-
vance was lost in sympathy with the

but declined later under heavy Hquida-
ton. July pork opened unchanged, at
