LETTER READ
Before the Various Christian Endeavor
 Societies.

The following letter, addressed to the presidents of the various Christian Endeav- or Societies in the city, in accordance with a resolution adopted at the recent meeting of the Jefferson County Union, was read before the various societies Sunday night, several of the presiding officers stating that the purpose of the movement was to sup port Chief of Police c. w. Austin for re- election:
 Birmingham, Ala, December 5. "At the regular monthly meeting of the Jefferson County Local Union, held last night at the Christian church, the secretary was instructed by unanimous vote to get out a circular letter to the various Chris tian Endeavor Societies impressing on them the necessity of all eligible members registering and voting in the coming city election for the officers, and especially for the chief of police, who they think will car ry out the laws that pertain to our plank of Christian citizenship. It is unnecessary for me to go into detail as to the present condition of our city or its past records, as they show for themselves. I only beg of you as Endeavorers who are for Christ and the Church to do your duty, and by so doing honor God and help carry out the laws. By staying away from the polls you throw away one vote for the betterment of our city, so go and vote as you pray Sin cerely yours in c. E.,

TARRH

Catarrh has become such common aisease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. Itis customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease if not at first, it very soon becomes so.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
 .salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory ard disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of tile trouble. s. s. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor oughly aiid permanently the worst cases.

President Gompers Appointed
 Several Special Committees
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
A Resolution Was Passed Extending Sympathy to the Striking TeIe- graphers on the Santa Fee sys-
 tem-some Sharp Talks.

Louisville, Ky, December 10.-After an- other day devoted to conferences and com mittee meetings, the American Federation of Labor began the fourth day of its con- vention with vigorous onslaught upon the innumerable resolutions which have been pouring in for the past three days.
 The delegates were slow to arrive, but before roll call ceased the hall was well filled. Spirited debate on one or two reso- lutions embodying mooted questions and the rapid-fire passage of others character ized the morning session.
 The first business to occupy the attention of President Gompers was the appointment of special committees on the eight-hour question, compulsory arbitration and on Porto Rico.
 A call for reports of standing committees found only the resolutions committee ready. The first resolution recommended by that committee was one reaffirming it's favor able position on the initiative and referen- dunn, which was adopted by the conven- ton by a vote of s2 to 56 in favor of 1t.
 Following in rapid succession were rec commended and adopted resolutions request ing support by Congress of a bill for higher education of the blind in favor of an eight hour law for all post office employees, to be introduced at the coming session of Con- gress, and in favor of municipal ownership of public utilities
 Other resolutions adopted were those making boilermakers and iron ship build CTS eligible as assistant United States in- spectors of boilers; for reasonable time of service dn sailing vessels and examination in seamanShip of officers of ocean steam ers;" for executive clemency for E. w. Clark imprisoned for mutiny on the high seas; restricting the towing of barges and cargo-carryng vessels on lakes and the At lantic coast.
 The executive committee reported unfa- vorably on a resolution for the establish ment of a department of commerce and in- dustry, and it's action was sustained.
 The report of the auditing committee was then accepted, followed by the -esenta- tion by title and v ference of nlslber of additional resolutions.
 Adjournment was then taken for din- nes,
