 Washington, D. C., January 20, 1900 Hon. J. A. VanHoose, Birmingham, Ala:
 Dear Sir: I will arrange for a commit tee from Birmingham ito be heard before the rivers and harbors committee touching the VanlHoose canal project at early day. I think now about the 10th 10th of February, if that will suit you and the gentlemen selected to appear before the committe
 I especially desire Mir.

 Please advise me if either of the dates named Will suit the convenience of the committee from Birmingham. If not please name date that will be convenient. Truly yours, J. H. BANKHEAD. MT VanIIoose replied to Colonel Bank heads letter stating that either of the dates suggested would be agreeable to the Birmingham people and requesting in- formation as to the number of representa- tives the Birmingham delegation should comprise.

There is not better hotel or cafe in the south The rooms, pulp lie and private, are most beautifully furh- nised the furniture being for the most part walnut, and the carpets velvet.

J. M Pierce, MT. Dixons partner, is the son of the late Dr. w. J. Pierce, who also settled here in 1871. The partners are thus amongst the very first citizens of Birmingham. Virtually they were here at the birth of Birmingham. They were children together, schoolmates, chums. And now they give to Birmingham a most beautiful and attrac- tive hotel!
 The Arlington is dream of tidlness, cost ness and luxury, as everybody who goes there will find it to be- It is worth visit from persons who even are not of purpose to stay there! It is superb in its appoint mentS, w

STRONG BlCYCLER.
His Idea of Tea and Coffee.

"As travelling representative of the Cycling Gazette and good wheelman, I wish to say something regarding the use of tea and coffee.
 1.-Two years ago I was almost an invalid. Today am rugged and strong, and able to ride a wheel seventy-five miles a day. For merly l was addicted to coffee and tea but was compelled to give them up, and took to drinking Postum Food Coffee for I knew that many wheel riders used it. The effect on myself and family has been very re- markable.
 "The sustaining power of Postum Food Coffee is wonderful. Many Q time I have gone out early in the morning for a ride taking only drink of PoStum before star ing and no other food before noon.
 Much depends on the making. skill ful cook can make good coffee, i. e.. the bet ter the cook, the better the coffee, but any make good Postum, if they will only use a large pot that will not let it boil over and then boil it long enough. You cannot spoil it by boiling 1t too long. It won't be muddy, but always settles clear in mo- ment.
 NO pecuniary inducement one could of fer would tempt me to leave off Postum Food Coffee and take up ordinary tea and coffee again for I esteem my health and strength too highly.
 "With my hearty wishes for your contin- ued success, which Postum fully merits" C. A Jackson, 4 Anderson street Marbehead Mass.

 Said to be Divided

The republican executive committees in five counties met yesterday and endorsed
 District Attorney William Vaughan for
 tine chairmanship eff their state executive
 committee.
 MT. Vaughan last night received the following telegram from Blount county:
 Bangor, Ala, January 27, 1900.
 Had deputy marshal, commissioner,
 guagers, distilers and non-residents to
 fight. Won unanimously. Let the band play. J. w. DAVISON.'
 The Fayette county committee adopted
 the following resolutions:
 Whereas, the administration of William
 Mckinley as president of the United States has brought great prosperity to the country at large and has encouraged and promoted the investment of capital in the industries of the south and the development of the southern country; therefore, be 1t Resolved, By the county committee of Fayette, That we endorse the administra- ton of Mckinley and pledge the hearty
 support of Fayeote county to his re- nomination and reelection; and, Whereas, William Vaughan, chairman of the state republican executive commit tee, has made us good and faithful party official, and by his honesty and integrity and impartial conduct has improved the standard and increased the memDership of | the republican party of Alabama be it fur ther

 THOMAS B. MORTON. Chairman. 'J. W. BARNARD, Secretary The county committees which met yester-
 day were Blount, Cherokee, Etowah. Tusca-
 loosa and Fayette Resolutions similar to
 those adopted in Fayette were adopted in the other four counties.
 Fayette and Tuscaloosa are in United States Marshal Cooper's congressional dis trict, and the fact that their executive committees have endorsed MT. Vaughan's candidacy is a sounce of the greatest pleas
 lIre to the latter's friends, as Mir Cooper is
 recognized as one of MT. Bingham's most
 prominent and active supporters. MT Vaughans friends claim that the delegation from Marion county selected last
 Thursday is not unanimous for Mir. Bing-
 ham, although resolutions instructng for the latter are said to have been adopted by the convention. It is stated that some of
 the delegates are for MT. Vaughan and that they announced at the time of their selec- tfon that they would not abide by the in- structions.
 MT. Vaughans friends claim that the con vention was held with but little or no notice to them.

 TO BE ORGANIZED
Meeting Will be Held at Morris
 Hotel This Afternoon.

 cal Association

Local pro- motors Of the sport have been advised that Nashville, Mont gomery New Orleans and Selma would be represented. Memphis and Mobile may also send representatives A gentleman from the former city now re- siding in Birmingham has communicated with enthusiasts fin Memphis regarding the game, and will probably be authorized to represent them at today's meeting.
 No definite information has been received from Atlanta, Chattanooga Knoxville. but it is believed that all of them will seek admission if the league is organized.
 The meeting will discuss the situation and it is believed that the representatives will be prepared to act and tint organiza- ten will be gone into.
 1nasmuch as the movement was inau- surated in this city, the probabilities are that Birmingham will be made headquar- ters, which means that "a Birmingham man will be placed at the head of the organiza- tion.
 The local association will be represented by w. J. Boes, who will call the meeting to order.
 The Birmingham association is practi- cally ready for business and in the event of the formation of league will at once begin looking around for players.
