The HiIIman Hospital.

The Baptist women of the city and of the suburban towns held another enthusi- astic meeting at the First Baptist Church on Tuesday afternoon. There has never been greater unanimity of purpose nor more enthusiasm than is being called forth in perfecting the mammoth bazaar for the Hillman Hospital This noble charity has taken hold upon the warm hearts of our women and welded them as one for the accomplishment of this laudable purpose
 The following committees have been ap- pointed and are already at work in earnest. They are Very fortunate in securing as their chairman Mrs. T. G. Bush, who has identi- fled herself most graciously with the chari- tles or Birmingham. Mrs. Bush is recog hlzed as a leader par excellence, whose magnetism and executive ability are in- valuable at this point. One need be neither
 pfophet nor son of a prophet" to see the frLttion of highest hopes regarding the i4Illman Hospital when such concentrated gcod sence and courage are being devoted 10 the undertaking. The Baptist women have on their thinking caps as to ways and means of making their part of the work successful Many are the plans for "baby SHOWS, breach of promise suits" spell ing bees" doll weddings, voting for the most popular preacher or doctor or for the prett1est girl, or for the handsomest bride. Dame Rumor says they are to be much in evidence this autumn-fortune telers, palm ists cake cuttings for rings, and things ad infinitum.
 Birmingham will be amused" said an enthusiastic woman lin many and sundry ways, as well as have the opportunity of securing beautiful articles and useful at moderate prices. Such good-natured crowds as blrmingham always gathers makes the town proverbial, and they shall be made to laugh until the money to build the hos pltal tairly falls out of their pockets as eney assemble every day and night for a week at the Auditorium"
